The gift resulted in the establishment - of Scott Memorial Hos- pital and thus opened a whole new era in 'hospital service to -the community Medical standards and hospital' 'ser- vices don't stand still. So it is that nearly forty years later the completion. of Seaforth'1Community Hospital also' marks the beginning of . a new era of service geared to the demands of today and the standards of today. Hospital service is a continuing .ser- vice and thus it is fitting that.the mem- ory of the Scott' and all those others who contributed so much to Scott Mem- orial Hospital is perpetuated in the new hospital. • Seaforth Community Hospital exists today because many hundreds of people among those it 'will serve were con- vinced a need, for it existed and spared neither time nor money to 'ensu`re its completion. It is in every measure a community project, of which the people of the com- munity ma"y properly , be proud. It's : Fair Time. in Seaforth Advance entries indicate that the 120th_ annual Seaforth Fall Fair, which gets under way next Thursday and Fri- • day, will continue the trend of recent 04 years and attract increasing inter* in the 4rea it serves. As we, have' p000nted out in,previous years, Sdafdrth Fair is one of the few in the district to, enjoy •- a glass 'B' rating, and this fact,, .cou- pled with the consistent program of improvement which directors insist on, has resulted in an agricultural exhibi- tion: second to none in this part of the -province. It is true that fairs don't change greatly from year to year. The basic - interest lies in the exhibition of agri- cultural products and in the. competi- tion between high quality stock. But while these ingredients are present at every- fair, the : diff=erencebetween a. good fair and a poor one frequently lies 11- Macdu f f Ottawa Report Sugar andSpice By Bill Smiley -- FAREWtEIA TO 'A F•RIENO ,Beach afternoons: warm, silky After • a ,couple of thousand sand and hot sun, the world a miles of travelling, there's note- millipn miles away; water like ing so delightful ,as to 'sit in cool silver.

Commercial. and Indus- trial exhibits- will crowd the -Arena to capacity. This . balance between the productof the farm and the product of the store :and • factory makes possible a rounded exhibition that attracts people of .every occupation. • „; Fairs, Such as the S forth Fair, well run, with a balanced rogram reflect. ing the changing interests of the com- munity, deserve continued support: Answering ,Another Bell is to be maintained. If a strong Federal Government is not elected on November 8th, the provincial leaders can only conclude that Canadians do not wish the Federal interest to4be strongly maintained. The task of the Liberals in the election will be, two -fold: To convince Canadians• of the need for majority government, and to convince them the Party has cleaned its louse and is de- termined to keep it clean. • In calling this election when' he did, without being'forced in- to it, Mr. Pearsort has taken the calculated risk that he can come back with a majority. He goes tntq the campaign only four seats short of a ma- jority. Mr. Diefenbaker is 40 seats short. The odds Took good enough for the Liberals, but whq can tell? Anything but a majority for Mr- Pearson will mean failure. It's • a risk he chose to take, and one which, under Canadian procedure, he had every right to take. 'OTTAWA Lester Pearson and. John Diefenbaker face each other once again in an election battle that will almost surely be the last for one of them, and perhaps for both. The two men . are meeting' in campaign combat for the fourth time. The only previous Cana- dian leaders who have fought it out se often were Robert Borden and Wilfred Laurier, who met in four elections in( tile early years of this cep-, tury. The .Borden•Laurier corifron- tations were spread over 13 years. The Pearson-Diefenbaker meetings have taken place With- in seven years, in 1958, 1962, 1963 and now in 1965. A fifth, and record-breaking battle is not likely between these two men, no matter what Otho result of the November 8th election. If Mr. Pearson wins a solid victory, Mr. Diefenbaker will no doubt yield to pressures within . his own ,party to give up the Conservative leadership. If Mr. Diefenbaker• should win, Mr. Pearson would retire almost immediately. If tfle election should result in deadlock, it's quite probable that both major parties would quickly seek and find -new. Lead- ers'. - . - This, then, is probably the last- round in the personal and political conflict that has dom- inated. the last seven years of Canadian polities. °aAs the campaign began, both men seemed in - the best of health, despite their ages. They were ready for the fray, even though Mr. Diefenbaker will celebrate his 70th birthday on September 18th, while Mr. Pear- son was 68 on April 23rd. The eight-week eanipaign with its long hours and relentless• travel is arduotis for anyone. But neither Mr. Pearson nor Mr. Diefenbaker showed any hesi- tatlon about getting off the mark. • °That was evident on the night of September 7th, when Mr. Pearson announced dissolution of Parlianrknt. It was the first time Parliament had been disc solved on television,' live, no less, and ,Mr. Diefenbaker folr lowed immediately on screen. ' ° Tlie ;Opposition leaderhad no areal ' kriowledge that the Prime Minister , 'Was going to eafl art °le6eenoe"t fairkrrtainwek At any rate, Mr. Diefenbaker was not at a loss for words. He blasted the Prime Minis- ter for calling an election be- fore the 'parliamentary redis- tribution of ridings. He„ said Mr. Pearson,was afraid to 'meet Parliament, afraid to face non- confidence motions •-for his fail- ureto clean up the mess• in Government.. - Mr. Diefenbaker. soffed at; the Prime Minister's statement of the uncertainties of minority government. He claimed the 'minority parties assured Mr. Pearson of support. "There will always be one or two . he claimed. But 'rhe professed himself to be ready for an election. The issues would be Canadian unity. and honesty in Government. "Our organization will be oper- ating at full' tick,",said Mr. Dief- enbaker. ' "As I look across the cpuntry I see increases in our vote in every province except Saskatchewan." (The Conserva- tives already hold all 17 Sas- katchewan' seats.) . Mr. Diefenbaker has probably correctly fcfrecast the important issues of the ' campaign. These issues of Canadian unity and honesty in•governmenf can real- ly , only be settled .by_ an elec- tion., •They in themselves are sufirci- ent reason for an election, in spite of those editorialists who insist that no one wanted this election, that' it is not neces- sary. The election • should answer two questions which desperately need to be answered. First, does Canada wish to sanction. the Pearson type of co-opera- tive federalism, which is 'slow- ly but surely reshaping Con- federation? Second, does Canada feel that the Pearson Government, beset alternately by.scandal and blun- der, is fit to continue govern- ing? The many other issues of the campaign — agricultural 'prob- lems,' welfare measures," aid to education — are surely second- ary in relation to these two questions. - The Federal Government, no matter Which party forms , it, will be moving quickly into all- . itnportant negotiations with the provtnees'on Confederation and on taX-Sharing negotiations.

Playing the ninth game of golf in his life, Jack Wright, . S,eaforth,. at the Seaforth Golf and Country Club, won a niche in the golfer's hall of - fame when he shot a hole -in -one. The only thing that prevented him - from receiving the material things that usually accompany such a feat was the fact that it was the wrong hole.
