SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, JUNE 27, 1968
The Welcome
Seaforth's 100th Birthday Celebra-
ti9n and Homecoming Weekend will get
34nder .way this weekend. Hundreds of
--former residents Are expected back to
taIce part in the festivities.
While it was in 1855 that the first
• moves wen made toward settling the
community that became Seaforth, it
• was not until thirteen years later that
•it was incorporated as the Village of
Seaforth.- It is this event we are cele-
brating at this time. .
„While not as extensive as the reunion
4,1955 the program planned for this
weekend provides an opportunity for
local desidents and visitors alike to get
together and recall past experiences
and to have a good time while they are
doing it. It will be an opportunity too,
to look ahead and attempt perhaps to
anticipate the changes that will inevi-
tably occur before the next reunion.
For the visitors there will be many
surprises as the, see the developments
that have occurred since their last visit
bere. There are new schools, a new hos-
,
Mat Is Out
••\.
pital, an improved Lions Park, a reno-
vated town hall and more attrac-
tive streets as well as many modern
residences awaiting inspection.
The occasion has particular signifi-
cance for those of us here at The Huron
Expositor. For us 1968 marks the be-
ginning of a new century of sarviee in
the Seaforth community.
The Expositor appeared in its pre-
sent style for the first time in 1867 and
was the successer to other intermittent
publications that had had their begin-
ning in 1860. •
The Expositor through these more
than one -hundred years has watched.
and recorded Seaforth's progress. With
the citizens of the cdmmunity it has
taken pride in each forward step which
has been achieved.
We here share with Seaforth citizens,
their pride in the community as they
welcome their visitors and join with
•them in recognizing the progress of 100
years.
Sugar and Spice
— By Bill Smiley —
• YANKS NOT THAT BAD
Sometimes the worldseems..
•a pretty rotten place • to live,
• and one of -them was during the
period of shock and horror fol-
lowing the assassination of Sen-
ator Robert Kennedy.
' But there's always Something
to redeem us from bitterness
and hopelessness. For me, it
was the manificent display of
courage and dignity presented
by the Kennedy family.
The Irish are often presented
as over -dramatic and over -senti-
mental in the presence of, death.
This family, with its Irish roots,
gave the lie to that Picture. No
tears, no Ilysteria, but an " al-
-most classical acceptance of
tragedy, down to the littlest
ones.
There seems little evidence
that the appalling record of
violence in the United States
will be halted or even stewed
down by the recent assissina-
tions of Kennedy and King.
The foofawray about the sale
of guns is merely locking the
door ' afterthe beast is loose.
There are so many guns float-
ing around in the States that it
would take ten years and the
co2operation of the entire pop-
ulace to round them up and get
rid of them. And you'd still
have an underground market
for the nuts.
Americans claim they are a
peace -loving people. And they

violence asa means of solving.
things is woven deeply into the
fabric of their history and it's
going to be hard to pluck out.
They fought the British in
1776 and again in 1812: They
fought each other in a civil war
of unparalleled ferocity. They
fought the Spanish and Mexi-
cans and took Texas.
They attacked Spain again on
flimsy grounds and Wound up
with ^a number of colonies.
They killed passenger pigeons
and buffalo and Indians to the
point of extinction. Vile on top
of that turd' massive world wars,
•the Korean war and the present
undeclared war in Vietnam, and
it's a pretty impressive record
for a peace -loving people.
I'm not being sarderac. I ber
lieve the Americans are a great
people, and basically .a peace -
loving people. They don't want
to rule the world, as other great
'nations have done and still do.
But the evideace of violence as
a means to an end is unavoid-
able.
' Politically, there is a history
of assassination and attempts at
• it that would make a Balkan
state green with envy.
'American folk -heroes were
men of violence: Billy the Kid,
Jesse ' James, murderers both.
Gangsters have ruled cities like
kings. There was a deep fascin-
ation with the careers of murd-
erers like Pretty Boy Boyd and
John Dillinger.
And what's the latest craze,
in everything from fashions to
advertising? A sick movie about
-
a couple of sick 'killers, Bonnie
and Clyde.
And what's ahead? More of
the same. The Americanneg-
ro, after a century of subserv-
ience, has caught the sickness,
and he's going. to get what he
4' wants, by violence, if necessary.
Vandalism, hoodlumism,
beatings, knifings are part of
daily life in big cities. Student
Power and Blac Power vie for
headlines, and get them.
The vast body of Aniericana,
the good people, the 'decent
people, must be sick at heart
and bewildered. The American
Dream is turning into a niglit•
mare.
But you cannot indict a na-
tion on the performance of a
-lunatic' fringe.. Americans are
a people of goodwill, of bold-
ness- and Of great, ingenuity.
Surly they will find a way to
purge the sickness.
We have nothing to be smug
about. There is a growing law-
lesness and 'violence creePing
Into our Canadian society. The
only reason it's comparatively,
Mild is that we have a small
popnlation •in a big country.
We can 'oly wish our good
neighbors our sympathy and
the fervent hope that solutions
will he found, and soon, to the
pioblems that beset them.

Mr. -Brown of McKillop, is at

was a bite on the right hand
by d neighbor's dog.
• Mr..Bauslaugh has on exhibi-
tion a Very fine and life like

of which Mr. Pat Hickey is the
energetic president.

A heavy Column of black
smoke was seen ascending front

Many thought the Catholic
Chureh was on fire. It proved
to be the large barn on the flax
mill property and it was a mass.,
of flames when discovered.
David. C. McLean of Kippen,
had 16 acres of new hay stored
in his barn on the lst of July.
James Taylor of Hibbert is

From My Window
By Shirley
I read with interest the other.
day this little bit of humor:
Another reason why romance
lasted longer in the old days
was that the bride looked much
the same after washing • her
face.
Isn't it lust amazing the ago-
ny one young lady will inflict
on her face in the name of bea-
uty? It is very possible that a
young Man might not recognize
his new wife the morning af-
• ter the wedding when all the
• paint and polish has rubbed off
on the pillowcase. 'Like a snake
shedding its outer coat of skin,
many a woman has two faces
these days — before and after
more aptly named with and
without (makeup that is).
I once knew a cosmetic coun-
sellor who called to show me
the proper method of looking
lovely. Oddly enough the first
step is to wash your face—eith-
er by the conventional soap
and water method or by the
more posh cleansing cream
treatment which beautificians
prefer (because its good for,
their cleansing cream' sales no
donbt).
It is hard to. figure how beau-
ty experts figure things out.
They'll give you the hard sell
on things to .make your skin
spanking clean and greasless
then as you to spenda small
fortune to clhg the pores you
have worked so hard to unclog.
My personal counsellor went to
greet lengths to remove every
trace of -blemish-catising dirt
and grime from my skin, and
just when she had convinced
me my countenance was fresher
than ever before she began
smearing me with foundation
lotion and liquid powder.
Following this came the hint
of rouge, the face powder, the
lipstick, the' dab of perfume and
whoops — the most important
single set of paints in a modern
woman's bag of tricks — the
eye makeup.
Whether milaclys' eyes are
kine, brown, green, black or
pink, you'd never know it was
the same set of peepers when
the full order of eye makeup
has been spread and brushed
on. In fact, some eye makeup
is so heavy that Daisy Doll can't
lift the lids to see where she's
going. I'm convinced that's
why all the gals pictured in the
magazines are shown looking
down at the fleor. It isn't be-
cause it's sexier to have parted
lips and half-closed eyes — it's
just meehanically necessary
that's all.
Liner comes in brown but the
most popular shade is black —
jet ebony black. The little, wo-
man cozies up to the bathroom
mirror and With chin high, spits
on the liner pe-neil befeie she
traces the edge of the upper and
lower eye -lid. Many girls like
to improve on nature at this
point and in the outer corners
of their eyes they lavish a, lit-
tle extra apit en the pencil to
make heavy arrow -like drawings
halfway out to the temples.
Eye Shadow comes in almost
every shade, except petrified
pita- Miles, greens 'old purples
they tire itM& to give depth -to
the eyes, WO true, too. Often
a girl's eyes seem* set so deep
J. Kellar
in her head that she has the
appearance of a hollow-eyed
skelton L.- sort of an exaggerat-
ed Robert' Stanfield look. A fel-
low has to get right Up close
to look into this gal'S eyes. That
way, she. reaches out and grabs
him before he has a chance to
discover one eye looks east and
one west.
Finishing touch includes mas-
cara for the eye lashes if they
are your own—or a complete
new set of long feathery flap-
pers if your God-given ones are
short and stubby. Eyebrow pen-
cil gives the total look so ire',
portant this season.
Now the young miss emerges
from the bathroom, fearful to
close her' eyes tight lest,the too
sticks on contact, and unable to
open her eyes wide enough to
read the stop sign at the corner.
Trial -marriages I can see
would serve more purpose than
to 'discover if a couple are lien -
tally and physically suited to
one another. It would provide
a young man with the oppor-
tunity to scrape away the trim-
mings and see what hides be-
hind the myopic mask.
