Although a large crowd of 200 fans saw the local boys hold their own until the fourth innings, they also saw the larger and self-assur- ed Wheatley squad overpower the Seaforth boys. Early in the first innings it was realized that Wheat- ley team was an exceptionally strong working machine for a group of young baseball players. Bob Reith was on the mound all the way for Seaforth. His control and speed held Wheatley to one run until the bottom of the fourth. It was during the fourth 4nnings that confusion hit the Seaforth squad. With a runner on third and Second, the umpire told the Seaforth pitcher that two players were out. Reith then whipped three fast strikes past the next Wheatley player. He then rolled the ball on the ground and along with the first and second baseman started to walk off the field. Immediately the runner on. third darted across home plate, while the man on sec- ond got to third. This left the Seaforth squad com= pletely dazed. Although there was a heated argument with the um- pire, it did nothing to alter the fact that Wheatley took the lead with a fluke run. Seaforth didn't recover fiom the state of confu- sion, and it only took a period of -time for Wheatley to add steadily to their lead. • Seaforth moves back to Wheat- ley on.

Here receiving a serving ale Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Hay. Hensall, and son, Keith, seven.,, Mrs. John Heal is serving them. Her husband is treasurer of the club. At the Seaforth MlstriCt Hgl; School 316 pupils have already reg istered. This all-time high re- cord is expected to be .;fill larger. "I think the total attendance will be around 330° students," Mr. Plumsteel said. Following are' the number of students in the five grades in the school: Grade IX, 121; Grade X, 63; Grade XI, 53; Grade XII, 52, and Grade XIII, 27. A ten -pupil increase was evident at St. James' Separate School. Last year the term started with 129 pupils, which was boosted to 140 this year. • Egmondville Enrolment Up Fall, term enrolment ,in the Eg- mondville public school- is 34, up four pupils over last. year. Miss Jackie Cluff, Bayfield, the teacher, said only one seat was vacant in the one -room schoolhouse, but thought this might be filled near the end of the week. Adopting the same method as last year, the Tuckersmith School Board transports 20 pupils from • the Egmondville School to S.S. No. 5, Tuckersmith, and brings them back each night. In the Seaforth Public School there has been little variation in attendance this term. Principal J. W. Talbot said that 323 pupils enrolled this term shows very lit- tle increase cver Last year. The principal did say, however, that he expected more ppttpils to start school near the end of the week or the first of next, when most families are back from holidays. Principal Plumsteel also reveal- ed this week the students who were awarded Provincial Scholarships. The two $500 University scholar..- ships were won by Alice Braeker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Braeker;, R.R. 2, Walton, and Ruth Hemingway, • daughter of Mr. and - Mrs. Carl Hemingwa'y, R.R. 3, Brussels. .

In • two short years the Hensall Kinsmen have built the annual ev; ent into one of the feature attrac- tions of the area. With the com- plete backing of the Hensall citi- zens, the Kinsmen feel this year's festival was a big improvement over their first, held last year. Directors of the festival arrange- ments claim their month's of long planning resulted in a much great- er success. The festival got under way in the early afternoon with a big parade of floats and bands from New Dundee, Goderich, London, Varna and Brodhagen. Opening ceremonies followed, and speeches of welcome were voiced by Dr. D. .1. McKelvie, president of the Hen- sall Kinsmen Club; Reeve William Parke, Thomas Pryde, M.L.A., and Elston Cardiff, M.P. Speaking on the importance of beans and the growth of Canadian agriculture respectively, were Dr. D. J. McLaughlin, president of On- tario Agricultural College, Guelph, and Dr. D. N. Huntley, head of the field husbandry department, O.A. C. They were introduced by Jerry agricultural nt mer district Mo 0 yg g representative. Some of those present started to compare' the famous beans of Boston with those from Hensall, threatening that in a period of time the Hensall attraction would make the historical Boston back- ground an understudy. Afternoon Attractions Midway rides and bingo games provided lots of fun for young and old alike. And when they were thirsty, there were the gay refresh- ment booths -to attract them. In- dustrial displays, too, drew -con- siderable interest. During the afternoon, a test of strength was held when the area's .biggest, huskiest men vied with one another in a tug-of-war. Af- ter much heaving and groaning, the team from Hay Township were declared winner. A horseshoe pitching contest followed in mid- afternoon with about 50 men con- testing for the doubles champion- shii5 and 15 for the singles. - Businessmen and community or- ganizations in the area exhibitd displays in the arena which also T. Phillips Finds Fire in' Hensall Driving through Hensall at five o'clock Tuesday morning, Tony Phillips, Seaforth, saw flames re- flected in the Texaco garage on No. 4 Highway in Hensall.

Mr. Philips was en route to Lon- don on his regular trip for Phil- lips' Fruits, Seaforth. acted as a theatre for free movies. The theme behind the majority of the 'exhibits was the word of the days—"Beans;" Producers and manufacturers used the exhibit facilities to popularize their pro- ducts. At Night A variety% show sponsored by the Main Street Jamboree Troupe of - Hamilton started off the„evening's events. Dancing in the arena wound up the day's activities ins the early morning hours with a large crowd dancing on the new floor to modern and old-time rhythms. Proceeds from the fes- tival will finish' paying for the floor. .But the biggest attraction of the day was the baked beans, served with all the trimmings, including ketchup, cole slaw, buns, tarts and chocolate milk. The dinner was prepared by the 20 members of the club (all men) and wivns were only allowed to . help serve, aided by members of the Hensall 4-H White Bean Club. Miss Marilyn Pollard, a nurse at South Huron Hospital, Exeter, won an auto trailer, donated by Gen' eral Coach Works, of Hensall, in a draw in conjunction with the Ontario Bean Festival. William Smith, manager of General Coach, drew the winning ticket. Kinsmen who took tickets, ar- ranged the contests, cooked, serv- ed and generally spread the fame of the beans, included: Michael Quinlan, Robert Cook.

TYNDALL GLADIOLUS WIN HONORS; BRONZE MEDAL FOR 'VIOLET CHARM' Mr. and Mrs. Murray Tyndall, widely known gladiolus growers of Brucefield, were awarded a bronze medal for their entry, "Violet Charm," in the Canadian Interna- tional Gladiolus Show, held in Brampton recently. The medal is the trophy award- MURRAY TYNDALL • ed the best spike entered Pit the "recent introduction division" of the show, by the North American Gladiolus Council. As a rule Mr. Tyndall doesn't enter competitions, preferring to arrange displays of his flowers. However, because of dry weather, there were not enough blooms available for a proper exhibition,, so the decision. was taken to com-, pete in the competitions. That this decision was justified is indicated by the number of priz- es that were won. In all. Tyndall gladiolus won 14 first prizes. nine second prizes, and' 10 third prizes. They also placed second in the open class. The International Show is spon- sored by the Toronto District Gladiolus Society, and this ' year was held in the Brampton Memor- ial Arena. Besides the special prize to "Violet Charm" as best -spike, the Tyndalls also brought home first prize offered for the bast three spikes, won by "Rose Lustre," which was introduced to the mar- ket by them. "Rose Lustre" is a variety they have just recently introduced. Extremely dry weather during the summer has curtailed the sup- ply of large and jumbo bulbs, Mr. Tyndall says. Subject •to rain., the supply of such bulbs may be lim- ited. Seaforth Bowlers Win At Lucknow Seaforth bowlers, taking part in a doubles tournament in Lucknow Monday evening, came home with half the prizes. Heading the list of Seaforth win- ners were Dr. Paul Brady and E. H. Close, who came second. Other winners from here were: B. F. Christie and M. McKellar, fourth; E. K Munroe and William Ball, sixth; and George Hildebrand and H. Connell, eighth. William Miller, R.R. 3,'Brussels, and Ann Stuffier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clement Steffler, Cran- ' brook. Joanne Beuermann, daughter of Mrs. Leslie Beuermann, and Lois Roe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Roe, were awarded $100 each in the Grade XIII Provincial Schol- ' arship. .Both pupils advanced from Grade XII to Grade XIII with high academic standings. Scott Scholarships Scott Me m o r i a 1' Scholarships were awarded to four Seaforth Dis- trict High School graduates this week. Each of these scholarships is valued at $500. Ruth Heming- way and Alice Braeker were also aWarded.. one of the scholarships for their ' high marks in Upper -School exams last June. Murray Kirkby, son of Mr. and,Mrs. Geo. Kirkby. Burwash. and James Mc- Intosh, son of Mr. and Mrs. James McIntosh. Tuckersmith, were the two other Scott scholarship win- ners. From outward appearances it would look as if Miss Braeker and y Miss, Hemingway were both elig- ible to receive a total of $1,000 each in. scholarships. However, a stipulation in the Provincial Schol- arship regulations will not allow a student to exceed $850 in win- nings. and at the same time be able to collect full payment of the Provincial Scholarship. This means that both the university students will receive $500 from the Scott Memorial Scholarship and $350 fro the Provincial Scholarship. Thi clause has also affected oth- e - students at Seaforth District ig }r School for the last few years, li h Sch x� o who have won two $500 scholar- ships. Each year any surplus money remaining from the Scott Memor- ial Scholarship fund is donated to the Hir*h School to 'buy new books • for the library. This year there was an ef'ception.ally large surplus left over and teachers expect need- ed reference books can be bought. Both the primary schools and Seaforth-District High School have started to make preparations for the 110th Seaforth Fall Fair. Spe- cial emphasis is being put on the school exhibits this year in an ef- fort to help the Seaforth Agricul- tural Society make their 110th fair a bigger and better production.
