For the past few days a group of men visiting Seaforth have been "down in- the dumps". Lit- erally, they have been down in the dumps. Four men last weekend, in- cluding Bill Hart of Seaforth, were digging in one of Sea- forth's earliest dumps in search of ancient bottles and glassware. The dump which was covered in 1924, is on the farm of ,Mr. and Mrs. Dale Nixon, east of the Lions Park and it 4through the co-operation of the Nitxons that the dig was made possible. It's their hobby and they have been hooked enough into the hobby to spend their week- ends travelling around the prov- ince digging up old dumps and cone -Cling the ancient glass pro - duets to establish Canada's his- tOry in glass! ' One thing they've learned — Canada ha& been producing glassware long before anyone realized. It wasn't until , 1953 that the discovery was made that a glassware had been made in Canada in early years accor- ding to Donald C. MacKenzie of the National museum in Ot- tawa. He said most people thought all glass- products' had come from other' countriet, Mr. MacKenzie of Ottawa and Ken Judges and son Scott of Toronto, l".kive Parker of Ston- ey creek, young David Staffen, Seaforth and Mr. Hart were all in'the light drizzle Saturday af- ternoon working near Lions Park at what used t6 be the town dump. Their findings Were according to Mr, MacKenzie, not spectacular but at the same tirae interesting. One is a small medicine bot- tle with the label S. Roberts, Seaforth".

Beer and liquor bottles, medi- cine bottles, sealers, etc., all made around the 1880's have consituted most of their find- ings. According to Mr. MacKenzie, there are over a quarter of a million bottle collectors in North America. How does one. get into this hobby? Ken Judges, who works for (Continued on Page 6) By involvement, Mr. Scott meant "Being part in the most $235 I intimate sense of the word — being part of the community." He pointed out that the town &mina. is there for the people's use and that most people will gripe -about something but don't come to. council. ',They're there for complaints." he said. As for, individuality, Mr. Scott pointed out one of the greatest vittues a community can have is to become interest- ed in what the town has and not try to take anyone's pattern. "Find out if It's good for us, be like the others," he professed. He feared the 'possibility of the "good land" • around Sea - forth being taken over by dustry as "we live on the finest, richest land anywhere." 4 - "No person. has any righor knowledge to come to yon and tell you what you must do,”. he claimed, "We need a consensus of views." "A man can be independent in a small community that be wouldn't be. in any other form in the western world," said Mr. Scott. He urged that the townspeo- ple keep "our own discussions and quarrels within the -family. We never should run our town down,' 0 he said. He Mentioned that everyone can help the community by be- • ing kind to strangers. "There is no better time than this year for the 100th birthday," he claimed. , "What we want must surely imply leaving something better for the next generation," he concluded.

Honore 'SDHS Award$, Maintenance men cleaning the gym after the presentation of awards at SDITS Friday after- noon might have wondered why the flobr and chairs appeared to be slightly damp. • The dampness came from the tears from students and teach- ers who paid Miss Jean Mcln- tsye one of the finest trilmtes ever awarded to a retiring tea- cher. Miss McIntrye after 40 years of teaching including 20, years at Seaforth High, receiv- ed two standing ovations before and after hePshort talk of ap- preciation. Through it all she never lost her composure. Twelve Dublin separate and continuation school pupils be- came the first school bus safety patrollers in Perth County Mon- day afternoon. . With the assistance of Con- stable Garnet Doan, Sebring- ' ville OPP safety officer, the 12 pupils ranging in age from 12' to 17 began their- new duties. Constable Doan was on hand to teaeh them in assisting fellow • students across the road after they leave the bus. He said the act of having school bus safety patrollers has been found to be effective in saving lives. As well, the patrollers are prepared to act in an emergen- cy. If the driver became injur- ed or ill, the patrollers could bring the bus to a stop safely. Even in an accident, they wilr keep order, open the emergen- cy doers and assist in evacuat- ing the bus. The twelve Dublin boys and girls will soon receive fluores- cent orange belts, raincapes and badges for their task of patrol- ling for the some 150 pupils who ride the buses.
