The Huron Expositor, 1955-08-05, Page 2RaI'i'OR, SEA.FORTH, ONT., AUGUST 5, N EXPOSITOR 'Walled y, McLean, Editor be: bf . Canadian newspapers ()elation. 4tlitbiaxized as Second Class Mail Rest Office Departmbnt, Ottawa AFORTH, Friday, August 5, 1955 Worthwhile Affair The Reunion and Centennial Cele - ration 'is over. The five days of .estiAties concluded Wednesday light. There is not much doubt that in the gaining of .its objective of at- 9tractiizg back and entertaining Sea - forth Old Boys and .Girls, the reun- ion was an unqualified success. More than one thousand, visiting families ,registered, and there were many others, who never .did arrange to get to the reception ;centre: Sustained hot humid weather re- duced attendance at the many at- tractions that were arranged. It was .not reasonable to expect spectators to watch programs under such condi- tions, but unfortunately this was not ,something that could be foreseen when the program arrangements were made. The association was in- sured.against loss in«admissions, as a result of rain, but didn't anticipate being faced with a lowered attend- .ance as a result of too good weather. That the public was interested, however, and that crowd's were in the area was indicated, by the thousands who lined Abe wore than mile -long parade route Monday and saw the lonest and finest parade ;ever to pass o4er a district street. Taking nearly two hours to pass, the parade .was a recognition, -not only of the planning and work which the parade commit- tee did, but also of hours of work and effort on the part of hundreds of peo- ple in -the district who produced the floats and other attractions.. Program features were outstand- ing and reflected the, months. of , thought and effort which the pro- gram committee put into the ar- rangements. Ranging from the ap- pearance of the R.C.A.F. Training Command Band on Monday to na- - tiona0 known Scottish dancers and interesting sports events Tuesday af- ternoon, the program had soMething for, everybody. - Probably, however, in the eyes of the Old Boys and Girls, the features which :they appreciated most were the opportunities which the Sunday /light band concertand the school re- unions on Monday and ` Tuesday mornings provided, to renew ac- quaintances with . those with whom -- they had grown up. It was a Iot of work for the dozens of reunionassociation officials and committee members, and for those inco-operating organizations. But it . was Worth- it. The celebration ad- vanced the name of Seaforth over a- ° wide area in a manner and to an ex- tent that money could not buy. Above all, it gave the opportunity to ,Hun- dreds upon hundreds -of former resi- dents to visit us and to sharewith us our pride in the advances which Sea - forth has made. I*. FORMER _MAYORS4tEEVES TAKE PART IN SATURDAY'S CIVIC WELCOME Saturday afternoon Seaforth of - Edgily welcomed home the 500 Old Boys who hal already register - i for the town's .largest historical celebration, - Extending the official town wel- - erne, Mayor E.

Andy and his committees. have done a first-rate'job," said Mayor McMaster. Thanking everyone- who helped make the reunion a big success,- and uccess,and paying tribute to the execu- tive members and committees who had made the celebration possible, Mr. McLean said to the hundreds. .of people standing in front of the Town Hall: "These preparations have been designed with only one thought in mind, and that is for, you to have a good, time." . At the conclusion of the civic welcome, a flag shell ,was fired, followed by the Seaforth. High- landers playing "God Save the Qun•" Later, the fag was recovered from .,a ,tree on the property of Mrs. F. Storer. Goderich SL, by Ray Scoins and Jack Hoff. Highlighting the Saturday night program was the CKNX Barn Dance broadcast, which carried some of the reunion program into all' parts of the -neighboring dis- trict. Following the actual broad- cast, hundreds of the celebrating visitors and, citizens danced to the' old-time square dances, SPECIALIZED BUSINESS TRAINING • Practical Instruction in all Commercial Subjects. • • Courses , Approved by the Business Schools : Association. a MODERN EQUIPMENT FALL TERM OPENS SEPTEMBER 6 GODERKH- BUSINESS COLLEGE East Street GODERICH,.ONTAR,IO Phone 428 W 1953 FOUR -DOOR DODGE ROYAL 1953 FOUR -DOOR FORD MAINLINE 1952 FOUR -DOOR DE SOTO - 1952 FOUR -DOOR CHEV., 1951 FOUR -DOOR PONTIAC , 1950 CLUB 'COUPE.

Rink Hensall Kinsmen decided the children of their town need an artificial ice a?•ena. Nineteen mem- bers of this organization got to: gether and planned a "Bean Fes- tival." Over 1,000 people agreed it was 'a good idea by attending. The profit was about ,$700. Hensall g' located in the centre of the rieh Ontario bean country. The beans were donated to the club by local bean storage com- panies, and the pork by' a local meat packer. • The -recipe was formulated by Mary AIlen, cook- ing specialist. The A eans were cooked by ,the men at the local bakery and reheated at the Park where the festival was held. When the Kinsmen called this ; a "'festi- vaI," they meant it. " The day started with a big' parade that ink eluded floats, bands and' Scottish pipers. The. parade marched up the Main Stleet to the Hensall Ag- ricultural and Community grounds where brief speeches were fnade before the crowd repaired to the ball park. Here they watched the old-timers baseball game between Hensall and Clinton.. 'About ,4:40 the ,visitors began to line.41afor the "bean feast." Two hours later the crowd was fed and ready for the evening's entertainment.

According to a communication regeiyed. from Town Clerk -Treas- urer George Sloan, from the De- artment of Highways office in Toronto, the application for a blinker light at the corner of Queen and Dinsley Streets, the main in- tersection in Blyth, has been turn- ed down by the department. The reason given is that visibility' at the approaches to the main inter- section are good, and that acci- dents, or the lack of them at the' corner, does ,not warrant the 'in- stallation. The department had a man here to look over the, situa- tion, according to Mr. Sloan. Blyth Standard.

Back There never was a hotter day . Well, all right, all right! Af- ter all, what do you expect in summer? Maybe there never was a_hotter day, but there never was a clearer sky, or a happier air, or a broader smile, or a bigger lump in the throat either. • Over this past week in this ven- erable ,town -we did things on the grand scale, but whatever it was we did, remember it all sprang from the one and only place from which successful Old Boys'e Reun- ions have to come. I mean from the heart, naturally.. I remember once hearing a very wise man say 'that the beginning of all poetry was in the line, "Over the hills and far away.” 4,nd I remember another wiser man still carving right back at the first wise 'man and saying ,that there was a line which couldi top it any day -of the week, and that line was: "I'm going home." ' The second Wise man was the smarter. All you had to do to prove it was to walk along Sea- forth's Main Street at any time of the day -or night, for that mat- ter—to see how the fact of com- ing home had affected hundreds aid hundreds •of people. • Now these people who came back were quite a: variegated crew. 'Some were rich, and some looked as if they had taken quite a beating at the game of life. Some were old and some were young; some were health and some had trouble getting mound; some were smart, -and some were net 'so, smart. But they all had one great thing in common—they had all come Log Cabin Recalls Huron Pioneer Days. y Pioneer days were recalled -by the log cabin in Victoria Park, which exhibited old articles con- tributed by residents of the area and the Huron County Museum. Since the opening of the pioneer cabin, which was .built in the area by the Roach family, a steady flow of visitors have inspected the many old furnishings. To the sur - pr -,e of• most visitors, many of the ..td relics were practical things which the average person didn't think existed 100 • years ago: A potato and apple peeler are just a couple of examples.. Not many of the inspecting visi- tors thought they would like to sleep on- the old rope, mattreSs whirl, composed the main' part of a big double bed. Also catching the eye of many was theold-fash- ioned spittoon, which was in. the form of an old turtle. its disillus- ive shape hid the turtle's true 'd ft Powder rifles, an old stove, but- ter churn candle lamps, crockery and candle lanterns were a few .'more interesting old eyecatchers. The cabin was found by many of, the visitors as one of the few places in town where a person copld saunter along without hur- rying. Fire ,Sweeps Barns Near Auburn; - Damage Cast High Flames swept through two barns, a work shed and surround- ing fields in a $17,Ob0 fire, one- half mile west of Auburn on Mon- day afternoon, Fire first broke -out during threshing operations' at the farm of William :Robertson, setting the large 70 by 70 barn ablaze. A brisk -Wind carriedburning embers several hundred yards setting fire to two nearby barns, Neighbors managed to save the barn of Gor- don. Dobie, next to the Robertson property, but were helpless • to fight the third outbreak at 'the farm- of Sandford Lawlor. Flames swept the Lawlor barn and a work shed near the house. The Blyth and Goderich fire de- partments were summoned _-and pumped water from the Maitland River to the fires. Firemen and volunteers concentrated on saving the twd houses, and the Dobie barn. • The Robertson's barn, only ret cently remodelled with' a steel roof, was destroyed and loss is in the •neighborhood of .$10,000. De- stroyed was• a $300• bull, large quantity of chopped hay, and 1,500 bushels of mixed grain. Flames which swept tie Sand- ford Lawlor barn, 32 by, 50, de- stroyedthe season's erop of baled hay and also his grain which was threshed only last week. Only the• owner's son,. Thoma- s, was home at the time. Water was Poured on the Lawler house to keep it from burn'iftg. Less is esti- Mated stiMated at $7,000, Daftlage• to the Dobie hoiise and baril Was lint, Vaald from the same place in the be- ginning, and now they were back and they were pleased that they had come home. Those of us who were on hand to welcome them back had a few uneasy moments as the. night be- fore the big celebration came along. There were a,hundred and' one things we weren't sure ' had been attended to. We wondered if the people who came back would like what they saw; we wondered if they would think we had done the right things to amuse and en- tertain them. We might just as well have sav- ed ourselves the worry. All those who carne back were back for one major reason. They wanted to come home again, and that was all. They appreciated—and said so—the trguble we, had taken,, but, you know, I think they would ave been just about as happy if we hadn't done much of anything. Their biggest fun came from just being back, from meeting old and long -forgotten friends, and from seeing that the old- town was still here, not much changed,. the same as when they went away. • Just the same,- I think we have a good deal to be proud of in the way we welcomed them all back. The parade last Monday was, by common consent, one of the big- gest and finest ever seen in West- ern Ontario. - A ,tough old veteran newspaper- man friend of mine who saw it (and he's not a Seaforth' Old Boy) said, "You know, Jim, that par- ade touched One. `I looked at it and I was moved that so man'$i people would go to so-- much trouble to help along with the' homecoming celebration." J. V. Me ee is a man who has, seen a to bf par- ades and a lot of livin in his day, and he got right to the crux of the matter when he aid those words. For that's what this homecom- ing was all about. Wel who are here really wanted to take the trouble and do as mUch as we could to welcome everybody back. And those who came }Sack really appreciated anything w were able to do. You can't beat a •combination like that. By golly! I'm glad they all came back. I'm glad weman- aged to give them a royal welcome when they arrived,. ^And I'm glad we were able to get together and all enjoy the cele- bration. Let's not forget how to do it again.

Prolonged Drought Leaves 'Streams in Members of the Huron Cothity Health Unit Board were reininded at a meeting of the board this week ' Aldis, that' pollution is everyone's preblem, and the solution to eon- ditions existing in local streams - won't be obtained until individuals, industries and ,municipalities be- gan to plan and act co-operatively. "Local Streams," said Dr. Aldis, "are being affected deleteriouSly by the prolonged drought and ex- treme heat. "The oxygen normally available in the water is drastically reduced and 'no longer can support the fish_ and other life which usually thrives "In addition, some , these' streams re'ceive inadequately treated sewage from domestic^ and industrial, sources, which in- ereases the demand -for okygen, as well as causing offenees by the • hicoMplete breakdown of the add- ed products," he said.
