Centennial Projec 'Tuckersmith Mari Work at Lions Park The Tuckersmith, centennial project will include improve- ments to Seaforth Lions Park, council decided Tuesday, eve- ning, when an enabling by-law was adopted. Suggested are en- trance gates, completion of the picnic pavilion, as well as park lighting. When the matter had been 'considered previously, council had favored dividing the cen- tennial project into two parts. One would include work at the Lionsi Park, and the other, imr provements to the cemetery on No. 4 Highway, south olBruce- field. However, discussions with the centennial authorities had indicated the cemetery would not be eligible. Possibility of a small play- ground in Egmondville was seen as council discussed at some length the use that might be • made of a lot owned by a Dearborn, Mich., resident. The lot, located near the cemetery, was badly overgrown- hnd coun- cil had written inquiring about having it' 'cleaned up. It was estimated that -the -cog of cleen: in would perhaps he '$150.00. If the owner wished to be ,re-' lieved of the, responsibility,• council suggested the land could be converted into. a small playground'to serve children in that area. Clerk J. I. McIntosh was instructed to Reply, indi- cating. council's thoughts. Discussion revealed there was no reason why council could not insist that the owner clean it up. It was pointed out that Snow Strikes District Early Snow came to the district with a vengeance on Monday evening and continued snow- falls by Wednesday had cover- ed the grounds with the white flakes. : A year ago the temperature was 82, according to weather records. 7 Dublin CWL Draws Prizes Drawing for the 'articles of- fered in the penny sale spon- sored bY the Catholic Women's League, Dublin, was held in St. Patrick's Parish Hall Tuesday evening.. - Previoug to the drawing, a film was shown by an officer of the Ontario Provincial •Polite, Sebringville, on the care and control of 'all vehicles, Joseph Shea and Tom But- ters drew the. tickets for the articles.

SDHS Students Seek Subscription Awards Students at SDHS will begin their annual subscription cam- paign next weekplid. The. stu- dents this year'are competing for three modern transistor ra- dios, which are offered by The Huron Expositor to the indi. viduals obtaining the greatest number of new subscriptions and renewals to The Expositor. In addition, each subscription obtained earns a commission for the school. Last year the school fund re- ceived nearly $200.00, repres- enting commission paid on Ex- positor subscriptions which the students had sold. The students in their canvass offer a wide variety of maga- zine subscriptions, as well as new and renewal subscriptions to The Expositor. The campaign provides the 'student body with funds with which to carry on various extra curricular activities, as well as making possible the purchase of athletic, musical and other equipment which is not provid- ed from public funds. In co-operating With the SDHS students who calls to of- fer a new or renewal subscrip- tion to ,The Expositor, or to a magazine, the public can be assured that a worthwhile sehool activity is being aided. the weed inspector insists that other property owners keep weeds under control, and the same effort should be put jnto Maintaining vacant lots over- grown with brush.
