Through the conrtesy•of CKNX, it is expected that regular reports will be given the public on l'Old Boys' arrangements on the occasion of the Brent program. In a letter received this week. Mr. Stewart says: "I should like to take this opportunity of wishing you and your associates every suc- cess in the planning and the op- eration of the forthcoming Old Boys' Reunion. Arnold Turnbull and I had lunch on a few occa- sions recently, when we have let our imaginations dwell on the pleasures we might enjoy were it possible for us to attend this re- union. It is too bad that distance will prevent either of us from at- tending, but I hope personally that I shall be around for the next reunion." It is hoped that one of the en- tertainment features during the Reunion will be the presentation of "Crossroads '55," which proved s-tich a popular feature when it was presented in the Collegiate auditorium some weeks ago. Pro- gram chairman Frank Kling is discussing the matter with the producer, James R. Scott, and the committee of the Agricultural So- ciety, as well as with...members of the cast. t t The advertising committee, un- der chairman James A. Stewart, during the past couple of weeks, has distributed a great number of car stickers and other publicity material. Cars throughout the district are now carrying the blue and red reunion banner, telling people everywhere about the good times that are planned for July 31 to August 3. One of the features which is be- ing arranged for the reunion days in Seaforth is an exhibit of old- time equipment which is in charge of a comfnittee headed by Gordon McGavin. It is anticipated that the exhibit will include early farm equipment, as used by the pio- neers who settled this territory, and other household equipment. that was in common use a hun- dred years ago, when Seaforth was first conceived as a com- munity. * * Enthusiasm for the OM Boys' arrangements is building up across • 4,.;',1 '7, •:; A N., Z442.11iSigikikefaittft Mr. and Mrs. R.

The committee has visited var- ious pool installations in 04440 centres to ensure that the ,ar- rangement in Seaforth will incor- porate the latest developments in pool design. Tests to determine the nature and extent of sub -Sur- face rock were carried out at the pool site last week. Armed with this information, the consulting engineers are developing prelim- inary plans, according to conunit- tee officials. It is expected this material will be, available within a week when a firm decision will be taken as to the pool size and design. This will permit full scale plans and specifications to be prepared in time for tenders to be called, so that work could be completed by the 'end of July. The pool, to which consideration is being given, is approximately 100 by 50 feet, with water depth ranging froth two feet to nine feet. Provision will be made also for accommodation for the filtra- tion and clorinating equipment. Included in the complete pro-- posal is a wading poor designed for infants. The wading pool will . be removed a distance from the new swimfning pool. Provision of a new and modern pool' at the Seaforth Lions Park has become necessary because of the limited amount of water which, in recent years, has been avail- able to feed the pool that has served countless thousands of dis- trict residents during the past 20 years. Decision to proceed with the pool project was taken at a meeting of the club two months ago. While it is expected the new poolcan be brought into use in midsummer, in the meantime reg- ular maintenance is under way in the ,PreSellt pool cleaned, ready for the opening of the swimming season next month. That this will be a busy season at the Lions Park is indicated by the number of advance bookings for picnics that have been received by Ruy McGonigle, who will again be in charge of the park pavilion. Spring maintenance work throughout the park area has been under way for two weeks, in charge of Oscar Tebbut.
