Seaforth Curlers
End Season, With
Pot -Luck Supper
Seaforth curlers wound up their
first season in their new curling
rink when some 60 members and
friends held a pot -luck supper, fol-
lowed by a short bonspiel. A fea-
ture of the evening was the pres-
entation of awards to. rinks which
had been successful in a club bon -
spiel that had been held during
the winter. First prize went to a
rink skipped by Bill Leyburn, and
which included E. Stephenson, J.
L. Slattery and M. Slattery and
which had three wins. Adam Ast's
rink, which included M. Whetham,

solation prizes went to F. Kling's
rink which included A. Pegg, M.
Case and L. Hamilion.
Dr. J. A. Munn, club president,
presided for a short business meet-
ing which followed the supper,
when reports of the year's activity
were presented to the members.
It was indieated by treasurer M.
A. Reid that the operation of the
club for the short season of about
three months was quite success-
ful. It was indicated that on the
basis of this operation, and of a
greater membership that is an-
ticipated when a full season is in
effect, there will be no dif-
ficulty in financing the club. He
pointed out that there was a bal-
ance owing on capital account, but
it was felt that this would be ar-
ranged and taken care of when
the membership reached its peak.
Dr. Munn expressed the apprecia-
tion of the executive to all who had
assisted in making possible such
a successful year, and paid par-
ticular tribute to the co-operation
which had been extended by the
ladies' group.
Mrs. F: Kling, president of the
ladies' club, thanked Dr. Munn on
behalf of the ladies, and assured
the meeting that the ladies would
continue to co-operate as fully as
possible. She asked the treasurer
of the ladies' group, Mrs. A. Y.
McLean, to present a cheque to
the club.

SEAFORTII
JULY 30th to AUGUST 3rd
One of the oustanding features
of the-OleBOVS' will be the mon-
ster parade which is being ar-
ranged by a committee headed by
D'Orleon Sills, and which will
take place on Monday, August 1.
Already Chairman Sills has lined
up floats and other attractions for
the parade and can promise that
the number of entries will be such
as to make it the outstanding par-
ade that has ever been seen on a
Seaforth street.
•The committee is anxious to lo-
cate as many as possible old-time
vehicles of any description, and is
hopeful that citizens will co-oper-
ate by making available such
vehicles, and at the same time
decorate them and arrange for
them to be entered in the parade.
If there are vehicles available
which would be loaned, it would
be appreciated if information to
this effect could be made known
to Mr. Sills.
While it is too early to indicate
in detail all the features of the
parade. it can be assumed that
there will be a part in it for ev-
erybody, regardless of age, and in
order that it may be the success
which the committee hopes it will
be, the co-operation of everybody
will be necessary. Any sugges-
tions would be welcomed, Mr.
Sills says, and these should be for-
warded either to him or to any
member of his committee, which
include Ed. Daly, J. E. Keating,
J. A. Cardno, J. K. Cornish, Frank
Case and Mrs. Gordan Papple.

The story of the Seaforth Old
Boys is fresh in the minds of the
Members of the Legislative As-
sembly. The day before • parlia-
ment prorogued at Toronto, Tom
Pryde, Huron M.L.A., distributed
to each member a copy of the
Town of Seaforth booklet, to which
was attached an invitation to at-
tend the Old Boys' here. In addi-
tion to this, Mr. Pryde drew at-
tention of the House to the Reun-
ion and Centennial celebration
which Seaforth is holding on July
30 to August 3, and in the name
of the Seaforth committee issued
a personal invitation to each of
the M.L.A.'s to be present.
$ "-$
Jim Broadfoot, on the West
Coast, who is looking after Reun-
ion ararngements there, in a re-
cent letter reports on the arrange-
ments he is making among for-
mer Seaforth residents in B.C. In
his communication he says: "We
are getting a bunch of the old Sea -
forth Boys together to have a stag
lunch and will report to Hazel Reid
later who of these may come back
for the big doing. I expect to be
going over to Victoria in a few
days and will line up the Seaforth-
ites there. I am planning to start
from here 1st of July, and will
arrive in Seaforth sometime about
the middle of July."
Among those who are planning
to come to the Reunion this sum-
mer is Mrs. Beatrice Martin, 1605
Kenwood St., Vancouver 6, B.C.
Mrs. Martin is the former Bea-
trice Beatrice Galbraith and work-
ed in McFall's millinery when
she was in Seaforth., She says:
"I had been looking at the names
on the program. 1 wonder how
many I would know. 1 worked
in McFall's millinery, ht addition
to Mary Modeland, and Margaret
Smithers, who married Jack
Sclater. I would like to hear from
them if they are still there. I al-
so know F. Kling. Would that be
Frank who was in the hotel busi-
ness? And J. C. Crich, would
that be Chester, or one of the
younger generation?" Mrs. Mar-
tin is one of the hundreds of for-
mer residents of Seaforth who are
planning to come back to the Re-
union in Seaforth. and while she
will find many changes hero. at
the same time she will find a
good ninny of the people \\-ith
hom she used to associate when
she lived here.
Writing from Wellz:nd where .he
is spending the \vintcr with his
daughter. Miller Adanis said he is
looking forward to the reunion and
being back in Seaforth during the
surnmtr time. Recalling the early
history of the town. he pointed
out that his father was born in
1845. the first child to be born in
the area that later became Sea -
forth. He was the son of the late
Thomas Adams and Ann Cluff.
The Adams' farm, according to
Mr. Adams, is now occupied by
James M. Scott, and had been
sold by Mr. Adams' father to the
late D. D. Wilson.
Possibility that Seaforth would
have an opportunity of seeing the
Canadian National Railway mus-
eum train this year was eliminat-
ed by word which has been re-
ceived from the President of the
Railway, Donald Gordon, and
from the Minister of Transport.
Because of economic difficulties,
the railway is not running the
museum train this year.
t- -
Arnold Turnbull, well-known
Seaforth Old Boy, who for some
years now has been a resident of
England, and who calls his home
at Walton -on -Thames, "Seaforth,"
has been doing some research for
the reunion committee to determ-
ine the derivation of the name
'Seaforth'. In a letter this week
he says: "I understand that the
committee planning the Old Boys
Reunion is really bearing down on
their job and every effort is be-
ing made to have a successful re-
union. I am very sorry that the
Turnbulls of England will not be
with you, much'and all as I would
like to visit Seaforth again."
Margaret Cuthill Campbell, of.
R.R. 3. Weston, Ont., is planning
to return for the Reunion and says
in her letter to the committee:
"Thank you very much for the in-
vitation to the Old Boys' Reunion,
and if at all possible my aunt,
husband and myself will be
there."

Another forMer resident who is
looking forward to renewing ac-
quaintances in Seaforth and dis-
trict is Edith M. Gardiner. Mrs.
Gardiner aYs: "We received an
invitation to attend the Cid
Boys' Reunion from July 30th to
August 3rd, and thank you for it.
We will be very glad to attend
the celebrations in my old home
