SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, JULY .1, 1968
A Fine Weekend of Celebration
Segorth's 100th Birthday Party and
Homecoming Weekend is over and as
alp cornnounity returns to normal there •
tan be but one conclusion. The event
was an unqualified success.
Coming as it did on the heels of the
Lions 33rd Summer Carnival, the re-
union generated unusual demands on
the time and resources of many area
,people who planned and were respon-
sible for organizing the event. That
they were able to cope was evidenced
by the smooth manner in which the
full program was carried out.
The event marked the 100th anniver-
sary of incorporation of Seaforth as a
village but what was even more impor-
tant was the opportunity it provided to
bring together hundreds and hundreds
of former residents and for the resump-
tion of friendships disturbed by a com-
bination of years and miles.
, The' prograrxi was designed td en -
t.,
courage such a result. The result was
never in doubt as visitors indicated
their appreciation as they gathered at
the old time ball game, at the Birthday
Ball and later attended church services
and the band concert, as they gathered
in SDHS and as"they watched the par-
ade and congregated later for wind up
ceremonies in Lions Park. No matter
how large the concentration of people
at any of the events, the crowd was
never as one but. rather was a colleo-
tion of small groups as visitors renew-
ed acquaintances with those with whom
they had grown up.
It was a lot of work for a lot of peo-
ple but it was worth it. The celebrations
advanced the name of Seaforth over a
wide area in a manner and to an ex-
tent money could. not buy and above
all it gave hundreds of former residents
the opportunity to visit ds and share
with us our pride in the community.
Sugar and Spice
— By Bill Smiley —
THE LIMBS OF LIFE
This is being written before
the national election. And
there's nothing more exhilarat-
big than going out on a limb.
It begins when you're very
little, when you eat a worm to
• see if he'll really stay alive
" inside you, or pick up a toad to
see whether you'll' wind up
covered with warts.
Later, it might be climbing out
on a long, Shaky tree limb over
a deep pool, when you can't
swim. Or it might be caught up
in a tree, shirt stuffed with ap-
ples, while the voice of Geo. L.
Jehovan thunders from beneath,
"Come down, ye little divils; I
now yer up there and ill whale
the tar out of yez and the pol-.
ice'll put yez away fer life."
Or it might be caught in the
act ef swiping corn and racing
through backyards and over
fences, with the cobs dropping
• and your heart thumping and
the shotgun going Of into the
sky.
Omit might be, about age 12,
smoking butts with the hoboes
in the "jungle" beside the rail-
way tracks, and having a drunk
with gallon of wine come up
and start terrifying you with
all sorts of obscenities you
don't understand.
Or it might be, about 14 and
spotted like a hyena with pim-
ples, having to ask a girl to a
party, knowing that you are the
most repulsive, awkward booby
in. town. This is a rotten limb
to be out 'on.
It could be saying, "Don't
you say that about my moth-
er!" to the bully of your age
• and sailing into him, yourself
outweighed 20 pounds, but
your fists and feet, and te'eth
And then there's the limb of
marriage. Most males will climb
. out on the first limb that is
endowed with long eyelashes or
trim ankles or a big bust. Even
though they now it's a very
green one, or a very brittle one,
out they go.
I was lucky. The limb I
climbed out on was firm but
yielding, green but not brittle.
And I derail soon discovered
that when you climbed out on
that particular limb, you didn't
carry a saw, but a parachute
and an iron -bound alibi.
.However, what I started out
to say was that, as we get old- .
er, we climb out on shorter and
shorter, safer and safer limbs,,
until we are finally left, clutch-
ing the tree-trtink, even though
we're only two -feet • off the
ground.
The old the youn'g
limbs) creaked and swayed and
going like a windmill.
Or it couldbe a sWimmingly
exhilstating moment, like the
diy When 1 was in high school
, and kiaSed my Preneh teacher
, •
up in an apple tree. She was a
spinster and six year older
than 1, but if I recall, it was a
. Swooning experience and I
think we both, wound up hang-
_ big. by our knees from the
limb.
These are Some of the limbs
I'VE) been out on. Lots of other
Iimbs YoU'Ve had yourS; round
liltbS, crooked limbs, rotten
sthooth one, brittle limbs,
sturdy ones. We have all gone
°tit On a limb.
- When you're young, you don't
really know the difererace, or
you jut don't care. It's climb-
, iteg Out on the thing that mat-
ters.
EVen, at 20 i was climbing out
etitt Ilinb, trying desperately to
mow
the grade as a fighter
Meath% blood so that
Could Alin') out on the fragile
wing: of tiStittftre and, be killed.

cracked and dipped. They are
replaced by the limbs of safetY
and conformity and security
and enough life insurance.
And the sad part is that these
are. the limbs we want our chil-
dren to climb out on, no far-
ther than two feet from the
trunk an dno higher than two
feet from the ground. While
they want to climb on the
swinging limbs that will sail
them to the skies or break and
let them fall.
All this, of course, is a pre-
amble to the fact that I'm still
willing to go out on a limb.

happen in the Rockies.

From My Window
Shirley J. Kellar
School is out for the summer
and my children are ecstatic.
Isn't it strange how youngsters
always fail to recognize :the
good times for what they are?
My kids aren't any different
than any others. A week before
school was closed they were
counting the hours until they
would not have to meet that
big yellow school bus' each
morning at 8:20.
They had visions. of sleeping
in until noon, eating lunch with
their noses burie& in-- comic
books, ,chewing bubble gum any
hour of the day, bathing only
on Sundays, staying up' until
"all. the good shows" are over
at night and generally -doing
only those things which' leased
them. •
Now, only one week into the
holidays they are discovering
what older folks knew all the
time—life doles out only so
much pleasure to each of us;
the rest is sweat, toil and mis-
ery.
. My husband. and I . have
clamped the harness on our son
and daughter for the summer.
Getting -up thne has not chang-
'ed much -from school days. There
aren't any music lessOns to be
practiced now but there's a gi-
gantic garden to be hoed before
the sim ge,ts hot.
For our male child there's
painting e and varnishing., to be
done; there's lawns ' to be cut
and trimmed; there's weeds to
contfol end garbage to burn
and cars to wash and vegetable's
to pick and—the lid gets longer
with additional thought.
, Our female charge Will have
a tide of ironing and canning
and cleaning and golfing. She
can watch the baby and run 'er-
rands and . . . you get the pic-
ture.
You think we're harsh par-
ents? Perhaps. But It can re-
call a summer when I was 11
and my mother was sick that
I was responsible for the house
and a couple of berry patches
to boot, I leiirried sotnething
valuable that sunilner while a
few .others my age were Carving
boats out of wood chips at a
kids' camp.
My husband was raised on the
end nf a hoe handle. Summer-
time for him and his 11 broth-
ers and sisters was the season
for cotapleting that part of edu-
cation which Asn't taught at
SchOol-Ihow to earn a living by
hard work.
Child labor is against the law
and it's a good thing, too. Some
men and women don't have the
good sense to treat a child as
a human being with' a limitation
on his strength and a short at-
tention span.
But child guidance is desir-
able—and there's no better way
to "train up a child in the way
he should go" than by teaching
him how to be an asset rather
than a liability to society.
I wouldn't be so stupid as to
claim our children will turn out
as flawless examples of young
adulthood who will , go on into
the working world destined for
great heights: I wouldn't dare
to predict that kind of a future
for the two scatter -brains 'who
put their knees under our kitch-
ell table three times each daY.
On thing is certain, though.
A bit of hard 'work won't hurt
our kids . . and it might do
'them some good. If they can
find the pleasure to be had from
the satisfaction of a job well
completed, they will have gain-
ed something many people
search for but never quite ach-
ieve.
