ccident Series Involves
Seaforth District People
Four teen-agers, three of them
from Seaforth, were injured early
Sunday when their car careened
off Highway 21 a mile south of
Bayfield and slammed bead -on in-
to a tree.
Most seriously injured were Joe
Mero, Seaforth, who sustained frac-
tures of the right shoulder, left
leg and several ribs, and the driv-
er, Glen Jacklin, Egmondville, son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. Jacklin, R.R.
2, Bluevale, who received severe
head injuries, a fractured jaw and
bad cuts. Mr. Mero was seated
beside the driver. Mr. Jacklin was
removed to Victoria Hospital, Lon-
don, Wednesday afternoon,.
Two other passenger, Marjorie
O'Reilly, Dublin, and Keith Ben-
newies, Seaforth, were reported
Tuesday to 'be in satisfactory con-
dition. Miss O'Reilly suffered a
fractured left shoulder, and Mr.
Bennewiess a fractured pelvis. All
were under shock.
Dr. Frapk M. Newland, Clinton,
was called to the accident scene
at 4 a.m. He ordered the occupants
removed to Clinton 'Public Hos-
pital.
D. Newland said Tuesday Mr.
Jacklin was still semi-conscious
and was under observation. Both
he and Mr. Mero were reported to
be in only "fair" condition.
Miss O'Reilly's arm had been
placed in a plaster cast, he said,
and it was probable she would be
Memorial Chapel
HonorsWar Dead.
The Canadian Legion Memorial
Chapel in the county courthouse,
Go5lerich, was dedicated Sunday in
a stirring hour-long ceremony and
drumhead service.
The ceremony brought to reality
long hopes of Legion members
throughout the county for a cen-
tral memorial chapel honoring the
county's war dead collectively.
Some years ago the Legimi ask -
d that such a shrine be built and,
with construction of the new court-
house last year. provision was
made for the chapel.
Eleven Legion branches in- Hur-
on County worked together to fur-
nish the chapel and prepare an
official book containing names of
those who, died in four wars.
Proceedings began with a par-
ade of more than 100 Legion mem-
bers and bandstnen from the God,
erich arena to the Courthouse. The
parade was led by the Goderich
pipe band. The second band was
from RCAF Station, Clinton.

lives for the benefit of mankbad.
"We must do more to perpetuate
the memory of those who died,"
lle said. "A chapel such as this' is
a lasting tribute to the dead."
Urges More -Chapels
The provincial president advo-
cated the need for more chapels
like that opened Silnday. "As peo-
ple we need to be reminded of
the real cost of war."
•Inside the courthouse the chapel
was officially dedie'ated by the
Rev. Kenneth E. Taylor, OBE., E.
D., with a representative from.each
of the county branches taking part.
The ceremony was brought to the
hundreds qf citizens on the lawns
outside through. a public address
system.
, The .R,y. D. J. Lane, in a ser-
mon preached on the steps of the
courthouse, spoke of the chai-
lenges of today.
"New dines bring clew oppor-
tunities, privileges and duties," he
said "It is for us in our day to
face the '-privileges, opportunities
and duties in the same spirit as
those White memory we call to
mind today did in their time:'
"Will you face them as those in

440 Attend
In all, 437 Huron 4-H'ers and
friends and three representatives
from Huron County agricultural
office boarded the seven -car train
as it made stops in Goderich, Clin-
ton, Henseli and Exeter, Thursday
morning.
Animated conversation buzzed in
the coaches en route. Muoh im-
patience to be on the way was
voiced as the train made stops.
One unscheduled delay south of
Exeter was blamed on a red flag
waving beside the tracks. A rail-
road worker was called out of bed
to explain it had been left there in
error and the excursion train pro-
ceeded.
Once on. the main line from Hyde
Park through Detroit, the two
road-switcher,,diesels .picked up,
speed, and spirits rose likewise.
At Sarnia several members tried
out accoustics in the St. Clair tun-
nel under that river. They whistled
with might and main through open
train windows, but clacking wheels
drowned out any resulting echoes.
Stacks Belch Smoke
Entering Detroit from the north-
east, the train clattered through
switches and flashed across inter-
sections with blinking red signals
and clanging bells.
On the outskirts of the city. a
forest of smokestacks reached sky-
ward. each contributing to the in-
dustrial output, and the production
of smoke and soot.
Men with dirt -smeared faces,
wearing oil -stained coveralls, flash-
ed a smile, waved from warehouse
loading platforms and open door-
ways in response to shouted greet-
ings from the train.
Clicking past poor residential
areas. sandwiched between factor-
ies, thin -limbed negro children
paused for a moment to watch
from sand piles and swings made
froin an old tire suspended on a
rope; a little girl opened her eyes
wide, as if to see the whole train
at once.
Constant companions of indus-
try. junk yards piled high with
rusting skeletons of auto bodies
and machine parts, lined either
side of the tracks.
Swelter m Buses
As the train swung around by
the waterfront, great box -like coal
barges could be seen laboring down
the St. Clair river. In marked
contrast. a gleaming white cabin
cruiser appeared just offshore,
then disappeared behind grey
war4houses.
At precisely 11:30 a.m.. the train
that city, kept up a running com-
mentary on buildings and streets.
Count Storeys
With typical reserve, few per-
sons showed other than passing
interest in the towering buildings
on all sides. On the sly, they were
all probably counting storeys lilte
mad. Even a resident of Toronto
couldn't resist craning his neck to
see if there really was a top floor
on that skyscraper, or did it just
keep on going?
For much of the ride to Green-
field village in Dearborn, a s'uburb
of Detroit, the busesroared along
the freeway, a controlled -access
highway through the midst of the
city with a minimum speed limit
of 45 and a supposed maximum
of 55, which few drivers seemed to
worry about. Lying some 40 feet
below regular ground level, the
open cut highway was criss-cross-
ed with concrete bridges.
Drinks Are Popular
In spite of the speedy trip across
the city, four buses arrived at the
village a half hour late; two others
which had not travelled via the
freeway pulled up still later. Doug
Miles warned all through his port-
able loudspeaker they had only 15
minutes in which to down. their
lunches and the soft drinks being
-sold at a nearby table.
Although most 4-H'ers had taken
care of their sandwiches on the
train, because of their early break-
fasts, the hot, humid temperature
made soft drinks an instant hit.
They crowded around the two
vending machines like Arabs
around an oasis—all 400 of them,
