More Promotions At Public School •FelloWing are students who were promoted from Kindergarten to Grade 1 in the Seaforth Public Seho'ol; Cheryl Scott, Madelyne Smith, Bill Southgate and Dwight Willis. These names were omitted from last week's listings. 440' AtitWAkt4.0.3144" the number of pupils finishing school will be offset by the natural rate of population increase. Alternative Plans Alternative plans for education of the excess pupils were examin- ed and the, decision was reached that the most economical and sat- isfactory solution was to provide the accommodation needed. With the co-operation of adjoining schools, the Board has in past years been able to place some of the area pupils in Mensal', Clin- ton, R.C.A.F., Seaforth and Hul- lett schools. Both the R.C.A.F. and Hulled advised the Board that they would not be able to take Area pupils next term, due to their own problems of overcrowding. While the additional classroom at No. 8 solves only one problem, nevertheless it will enable No. 5 School to take surplus pupils from No. 9 should the necessity arise. The co-operation of ' W. Spencer Jeffery, teacher at No. 9, in hand- ling so • large a number of pupils for the past few years, is appre- ciated by the Area Board: Area Board to finance the exten- sion of No. 8 out of surplus and current funds. Fortunately, the board is in a strong financial posi- tion; school properties are in good repair, and the Area has the low- est mill rate of any school area in South Huron. The cost of the new classroom will be kept to a mini- mum, and no increase in the pre- sent mill rate is expected. New Teachers Two new teachers have been en- gaged. Miss Beverly Memel* will teach Grades 1 to 4; Miss Jacque- line Cluff, Grades 5 to 8. Teach- ers re-engaged are: Mrs. S. Simp- son, No. 1; Dorothy Turner, No. 2;- Mrs. B. Alexander, No. 4; Re - gena Bowman,. No. 5; Mrs. Flor- ence Kay, No. 7; W. Spencer Jef- fery, No. 9. Mrs. E. Weber, No. 8, resigned, and Mrs. G. Wendorf, area music supervisor, having the new super- vision of the Goderich public school and the additional classrooms at thelt.C.A.F. School, also resigned. The Area board members ate: chairman, Wilmer Broadfoot; vice- chairman, R. Forrest; Chester Neil, James Landsborough and Mervyn Falconer. • Group At Winthrop Honors Members Mrs. E.

Twiss, of Brant- ford, has been elected to the presi- dency of Optimist International, at the annual convention held last week in Montreal. Dr. Twiss is a son of Fred Twiss, and was born in Seaforth. He and his father are looking forward to the Reunion and ,Centennial here. The international service club. which has as its slogan, "Friend of The Boy." was formed in 1919 and embraces 1,100 clubs in the United States and Canada. Dr.. Twiss, now accorded the highest office in the organization, has been prominent for several years in Optimist activities, not only in the international field, but also in local and district affairs. Charter Member, He is a charter member of the Optimist Club- of Brantford,' which was organized in 1938. He served as president for two years, from 1944. to 1946, advancing to- district lieutenant governor in 1947-48, and governor in 1948-49. Dr. Twiss was honored in a wid- er sphere by his election to the of- fice of international vice-president for the 1951-52 term, and this year is a member of the board of direc- tors of Optimits International, which has its headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. Born in Seaforth, he went to Brantford at an early age, receiv- ing his elementary and secendary education at Bellview public school - and the Brantford Collegiate and Vocational School. lie graduated from the Univers- ity of Western Ontario medical school in 1936, and, after post- graduate studies, started practis- ing in Brantford In September, 1938. 41 Two kinds of families are likely to have a house full of antique fur- niture: the kind with money and the Idnd with kids t Promise Littlefli _ eat Wave Continu Sustained high temperatures, which -have held the district in a sweltering heat wave for almost a week, show little sign of abating, according to the weatherman. Storms and heavy rains, which struck parts of Western Ontario Tuesday afternoon, bringing some- what lowered temperatures, miss- ed Seaforth district. A heavy rain which fell for a short time early Wednesday morning, however, failed to bring much relief insofar as heat or humidity was concern- ed. The ram did brighten heat - seared lawns and gardens. The hear record heat which has held thermometers to a -mid '90 mark, has resulted in heavy de- mands for ice cream and soft drinks. Seaforth outlets have been hard pressed to keep stocks at a proper level. Hot weather stimulated a big interest iit the Seaforth Lions Park and Pool. To beat the heat, many people took refuge in the shade of the maple trees that over- hang Silver Creek. The breeze go- ing through this shady area made the park as cool as- any place in the area. Public 'school and high school students have found the park an ideal spot ,to pass the vacation hours. All last week the- park played host to this group, who splashed and swam in the pool most of the time. The pavilion at the park is un- der the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Roy McGonigle this year. During the summer months Mr. and Mrs. McGonigle will have the pool pav- ilion open from 9 a,.m. to 9:30 p.m. Instructing swim classes and life guard for the summer is Gordon Rowland: Anyone wishing to learn how to swim can attend water safety instruction at the pool dur- ing the mornings throughout the summer. As in the past, the life guard is on duty from 10 to 12 in the morning; 2 to 5 and 7 to 9, in the afternoon and evening. Reunions were another highlight of the Lions Park festivities last week. Nine different families held picnics and sports events in the park. Probably those most fortunate during the heat wave are those who attended one of the score or more family and group picnics, which have been held during the week. Among these were: S.S.
