Seaforth flowers end up in Royal hands The chancel of Queen Elu ibet#i passuig tluuugh Seaforth are pretty slim, and one Seaforth boy came as close to the monarvb as anygAc from town is ever likely to go. '1 was shocked," remarks eight- year-old lan McMillan of Jarvis SL, who travelled to Ottawa over the Canada Day weekend with his John and Ina McMil- lan of Atwood. lin' s um:le, celcbrased American soloist Kevin McMillan, was slated to perform at the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill and it was arranged for his parents and nephew to at- tend the festivities, with VIP ,rating. This got the family thinking: with the Queen on her walkabout, and Ian sitting near the red carpet, the chances of Ian being able to hand her flowers were pretty darn good. In fact, there was never a doubt in Ian's mind. Last Friday, before the three McMillan's left for Ottawa, Jean Wolfe of Flower Magic wok time to create a lovely orchid bouquet - free of charge - for lan to have in hand when the Queen passed by. The flowers lasted the trip, and come Sunday on Parliament Hill, Ian was up front and waiting, bou- quet clutched firmly in hand, when her Majesty strode along the red carpet. '"Dere were mega -thousands of people," recalls lan, who bad w run through a moving mob of people with tua flowers when the barricade was moved back after the Changing of the Guard. "Grandma said, 'Run 44 if(tAtiri • PROUD AS A CANADIAN KID CAN BE, Ian McMillan of Seaforth holds his invitation to the Royal Reception in Ottawa, written on the Queen's own stationary.

Being small in stature, lan had to clamber up on the barricade and loan way over the trop with the flowers outstretched. When the Queen caught a glimpse of hun, she stepped off of the red carpet and accepted the orchids with a royal smile. The whole magic moment, including lan actually touching the Queen's glove, was broadcast on CI3C television and is recorded on video tape for posterity. "1 was the only one on that whole side that had flowers," Ian says proudly. And Ian's bouquet was the one that accompanied the Queen into her carriage after the walkabout, after she had handed a second one to her Lady -In -Waiting. Heather McMillan, Ian's sister, has carefully scrutinized the videotaping and claims that the Queen even made a special aside to the Lady -in - Waiting about Ian's flowers. "I read her lips! 1 saw her, she said, 'Oh, aren't these beautiful.'", reports Heather. But the picture is clearer in Ian's mind than it could ever be on videotape, and it's a day and a chance meeting that he won't soon forget. Even her hat made an impression on him. "Awesome!" New women's clothing store in Seaforth BY SUSAN OXFORD Seaforth women have more choice than ever in clothing thanks to a new fashion store, Courtney - Jones. The new store, in a house at 25 Goderich St. West, has a beautiful collection of fine clothing and uniforms. Originally, owner Catherine McCallum planned to sell only fashionably designed uniforms for women in the medical profes- sion, but decided to include fine fashions and accessories. Courtney is the maiden name of the McCallum grandmothers, who were sisters, and Jones is the maiden name of a grandmother on Mrs. McCallum's side. Catherine and her husband Doug, who are also second cousins, chose the name of the store as a memory to their grandmothers. The McCallums moved to Seaforth two and a half years ago when Doug was transferred here for his work with Ontario Hydro as a forestry supervisor. He is often transferred and the family has lived in Guelph, Hanover and Fenelon Falls north of Peterborough. Recently Doug has been transferred back to Fenelon Falls. They had both wanted a business of their own for many years and when they moved to Seaforth they looked around to see what need they could fill.

Ives R.R. 2 Blyth Brussels 557-9024 Catherine was born in Guelph and married when she was 18 years old and spent five years at home with her two children. She operated a daycare out of her home before working in an office of a manufac- turing plant. When the McCallums came to Seaforth their children, Eric 10 and Courtney 7, im- mediately fit in at their school and activities. Catherine said, "It's been nice living in Seaforth and the children are happy here. Doug and I are involved with the Lions and Lioness clubs." Catherine worked as a manager for VN Video and as a waitress at each of Seaforth's two hotels. "This past winter Doug and I got very serious about opening a business," recalled Catherine. "At one time I was working three jobs at once and I thought it made sense to do all this working for myself." They considered renting a store in downtown Seaforth but decided on the house on Goderich Street West because they liked the idea of having a whole house to work with. Catherine said, "The house lent itself to expand itself and it's easier to bring in fashion lines with the layout of rooms." They busied themselves with painting, papering and carpeting and opened June 29 with a sale over the Canada Day long weekend. "We're happy with the location and will be doing advertising out- side of town, too," said Catherine. "Already I need to expand the office." • HURON SUPERIOR MEMORIALS ESTABLISHED OVER 60 YEARS $.rvtwn C11Moa tow/ A11 e1 Minato Cnuwty MICHAEL FALCONER 133 HIGH STRIP. CLINTON Buts: 452-4441 Res.: 452-3664 livening appointments available Uniforms are in one of the main floor rooms and the uniforms are amongst some of the must attractive in the medical industry. There are basic scrubs and pant suits, dresses and a new line of shoes for nurses is expected soon. Catherine said there are many people in Seaforth employed in the field of medicine and few places for them to buy nice -looking and well made uniforms. The business has branched out to include other clothing for women. There is lingerie and Catherine expects to increase the lingerie line at Christmas to include velour robes and other lounge wear. Some of the clothes are what you'd expect to pay a high price for, but the McUallums have priced everything reasonably. Lambskin leather skirt and jacket suits from Montreal sell for a fraction of the price charged in large cities and tourist towns. Catherine said she has received comments on the fairness of the pricing. The colours and styles of the clothing Catherine chooses are bright and up to date. There is modern clothing and sports wear that is casual or dressy. Some of the purses she sells are from Guelph and others are imported. "I bought the kind of clothing I enjoy wearing," she said. "I bought clothing in Toronto and some of it was from Montreal. In the fall I'm going to New York to buy sprng lines. I'll also increase our size line, too." The store will be open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. There is private parking in the driveway as well as public parking nearby. Seaforth fiddler takes second in Stratford Local music man Fred Harburn, of 71 Chalk St. in Seaforth, travelled to the Old Tyme Fiddling Contest in Stratford over the July 1st long weekend and fiddled his way to second place in the 65 -and - Over category. Mr. Harburn, who was up against 15 other competitors in the Strat- ford jamboree, has been rosining up the bow for 60 years now, and competing in jamborees all over the country. He will be heading down to New York State within the next couple of weeks for another fid- dling fest, and hopes to wow the competition with some old time, foot -stomping tunes. Car completely destroyed by fire CAR FIRE - Seaforth Fire Department was called to a fire at 11:15 p.m., Tues- day July 3, on concession road 4, lot 13. Firemen arrived to find a car destroyed by fire. Mr. Pat Williams, who was visiting his mother in Dublin, saw smoke coming from inside the hood of his 1979 Dodge car. He stopped the car and while he went for help flames engulfed the car. When firemen arrived at the scene the car was completely destroyed by fire. Firemen stopped the smoke with water and waited at the scene for about an hour waiting for the car to be cleared from the road. Fire Chief George Garrick said, "It's hard to tell how the fire started.
