G. Stanton told students at the Third Hon- ors Students Banquet last Thurs- day evening at Seaforth District High School. Dr. Stanton, chairman of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, ad- dressed his remarks in particu- lar to those who plan further aeducation, "You will not get anywhere without hard work. Excellence can only be -achieved by work," he 'stated. It is not study to sit at your desk and wonder if mother left any lemon pie in the refrigera- tor. This type of concentration is not study, commented Dr. Stanton. He recalled when the only knowledge for a farmer was elementary bovine psychology. -The farmer knew where a' well- placed kick on the cow's pos- terior would have the greatest effect. Life is more complicated now, he observed. Fifteen years ago electronic computers were com- pletely unknown. Now their functions are taught to first- year university students. "The day will come when this .will move down to high school," Dr. Stanton predicted. He jokingly assured C. E. Dearing, chairman of the school board, this would not happen in the next year. He attributed failure in high school to lack of application, not lack of ability. "Develop good work habits," he advised. There are always some univers- ity students who had an easy time in high school. They try just hard enough to get through and as a result they miscalcu- late." Consequently they spend a year more than necessary. "It is highly unfortunate if you fall two p f cent below the pass mark instead of two per cent above it," he said. Dr. Stanton pointed out dif- ferences between high school and university. University pro- fessors are not as' helpful. The student is considered more grownup and mature, and as a result, he must show more in- itiative and put, forward more effort. "Always remember," Dr. Stan- ton said as a final note, "you should strive to do the very best of which you are capable." W. G. Nediger, who introduc- ed the guest speaker, said it would be hard to find any bet- ter mathematician in Ontario or Canada. Trustee J. A. Cardno thanked Dr. Stanton. Recognize SDHS Honour Students Certificates and cups were presented to top students of Seaforth District High School at the Honor Students' Banquet Thursday. L. P. Plumsteed, principal of SDHS, leaked out the reason for his cheerfulness .in congratulat- ing the honor students. "Every time I become upset, I think of ' you people. You have kept my happy disposition what it is," he admitted, refer= ring to the honor students. In five years of competition in the mathematics contest, the SDHS team has always placed in the top one-third in the area including part of New York State, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. . Gisela Dorrance again led the school team and was pre- sented by W. G. Nediger with "The Annotated Alice" by Lew- is Carroll with notes and intro- duction by Martin Gardner. Miss Dorrance will also receive a bronze medal for leading the school two years running and topping 50 both times. Runners-up Joan Pryce and Robert Muegge received slide rules. The senior*rpublic speaking trophy went to Bob Reynolds, and Bonnie Uhler won the jun- ior trophy. Brock Vodden made the presentation. Eighteen schools participated in the Ontario Secondary Schools Teachers Federation District 10 mathematics contest for junior students. W. •K. Murdie remarked the papers were marked here. "The students didn't win because they thought it wouldn't look too good," he said. Mr. Murdie presented a slide rule to winner Les Carter. Run- ners-up Gerald Van Den Hengel and Mary Buchanan received the book, "Fun With Figures." Trustee Charles A.- Barber presented Gordon McGavin and James McIntosh with desk sets for their service on the Board of Education. Mr. McGavin, who spent 15 years on the board, not- ed ten of the honor students were from McKillop Township. Mr. McIntosh' was on the board for 10 years. (Continued on Page 4).

Brigade Reviews Fireworks Show On Victoria Day Seaforth Firemen at their monthly meeting Tuesday eve- ning reviewed the arrange- ments for the May 24th fire- works display. The display held at Lions Park attracted a crowd that filled the 8 -acre park. Fire .Chief Scott, who headed the general committee handling the .event, said' the brigade ap- preciated the' co-operation of the public that had made the event possible. He referred par- ticularly to Mrs. Jean Hilde- brand and Mrs. J. Boyce, who had- assisted in the collection, and in co-ordinating the merch- ants promotion which coincided with the fireworks. Water System Plans Advance Plans. to service additional Egmondville residents with wa- ter advanced a further step Tuesday, wh e n Tuckersmith council gave initial readings to a bylaw to provide fol' the bor- rowing of $9,000 with which to finance the system. Discussions concerning the system have been under way for more than a year. Officials are hopeful now, however; that once Municipal Board approval is received, the work can get under way. Necessary engineer- ing has been completed and OWRC clearance received. The system will serve be- tween 20 and 25 residents in the southern part of Egmond- ville. Included in this number will be some properties that have been served by a private arrangement. Residents in the norther part of Egmondville have bees served by a township operated system for a number of years. While the new system will be McKillop Meets Meeting in Seaforth Monday, McKillop council adopted the engineer's report on the Carron Drain and instructed Clerk J. M. Eckart to have the neces- sary bylaw prepared and other preliminary action in connec- tion with the drain carried out. The petition of Joseph Little, lot W12, con. 8, for an outlet onroad property, was held pending a review by council at the site. Council approved payment in November of a grant of $550 to the Township Federation of Ag- riculture, and agreed to accept 5% of a fire protection build- ing being erected in Blyth in order to provide additional fire protection to McKillop resi- dents. independent of the present sys- tem as far as day-to-day opera- tion is concerned, the two will be bridged so that service will not be disrupted in the event of trouble developing in either of the pumping stations. Plan For Dial The council also gave two readings to a byelaw authoriz- ing the township to borrow $150,000 for conversion of the municipal telephone system to the dial system by issuing de- bentures with a 20 -year matur- ity, The bylaw will be sent to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval, The new bylaw would provide for the major portion of the estimated $175,000 cost of the system to be ready by the end of 1964 to'connect with the pro- posed Seaforth and Hensall dial systems. A resolution calling for ten- ders on the grading of the rail- way crossing between lots 25 and 26, con. 1, HRS, was ap- proved. The survey work, which has been completed, calls for the removal of 2400 cubic yards of earth to cut the. grade. The Board of Transport Commis- sioners will pay 80 per cent of the costs, the CNR will cover 71/2 per cent and the Township will pay the remaining 121 per cent of the costs. The firm of Archibald, Gray & McKay, London, is being ask- ed to conduct an engineering survey and prepare a report of the new municipal drain through lots 20 and 21, eon. 3, HRS. Council received notice from the Department of Agriculture that 50 per cent of the warble' fly inspector's salary, his trav- elling expenses and warble fly powder will be paid by the de - (Continued on Page 4) St. Columban Draw Penny SaIe Prizes The drawing 'for articles at the penny sale took place Tues- day evening in the parish hall, St. Columban.

Gowns Recall Distribute 160 Gilts Styles ofYears To Club Members Gone Past Wedding gowns depicting styles popular since before the turn of the century were on display in Northside United Church Wednesday evening. Arranged by Group II of the UCW, the bridal pageant at- tracted a capacity audience. Following introductory re- marks by Rev. J. Ure Stewart, the audience was welcomed by Mrs. P. L. Brady, who intro- duced each model and indi- cated details of the gowns be- ing worn. The flower -girl was Penny Hulley. During the pageant musical selections were contributed by Miss Jean McLarty, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Stewart, Mrs. Frank Kling, William Campbell, Miss Ruth Cluff, Mrs. Neil Bell and Mrs. Ivy%' Johnston. The models, together with Mrs. Brady's coinmentory, fol- low in the order of their ap- pearance: 1. The first dress we have to offer you is not our oldest gown, but it is the wedding gown of the first bride married in this church. She was married by her father, the Rev. Buggins, who was this church's first n- ister. The bride? Mrs. Jami es Beattie. the former Lola Bug - gins, and the year? 1878. The dress is 85 years old, and of brown silk and velvet. Mrs. Eric McCue is the model. 2. This dress is our oldest -gown. We were not able to pin- point the exact date, but it is close to 100 years old. It was the wedding gown of Mrs. Alex MacLennan, whose husband owned the Commercial Hotel in Seaforth at that time. It was given to Mrs. Charters, - Mrs. Sidney Pullman's mother, many years ago. It is made of white muslin and lace. The model is Mrs. Harvey Traviss. 3. 1878 is the date of this (Continued on Page 4) Huron County Hog Producers 4-H Swine Club members wast- ed little time in choosing 160 purebred gilts at Seaforth Fair Grounds last Thursday night. The 80 members spent only two hours to pick out one pair each of either Yorkshires, La- combes or Landraces. The hogs. were financed by the Huron County Hog Produc- ers. A committee of the pro- ducers, including Lloyd Stew- art, ' Alfred Warner, George Campbell, Robert McAllister, I Elmer Harding and Hugh Run - del, travelled 1500 miles and covered 10 counties to buy the hogs. The hogs, 'costing $4,400, with the exception of three pairs."are all litter mates. Agricultural Representative Doug Miles described the pigs as good and healthy and saki the committee chose them for quality rather than, size. The gilts ranging in size from 35 pounds to 75 pounds. The club Pan up against on- ly one problem other than car- rying the squealing, squirm - ming pigs to vehicles to be cart- ed away to their various homes. Insurance could not be purchas= ed on the gilts because of the 80 different homes. No com- pany would sell insurance for pigs on 80 different premises. To cover any possible losses. a dollar will be' added to the sale to cover the loss of a maxi- mum of five pigs. Mr. Miles said there was no reason for any losses, but added there was always, the possibility in 80 dif- ferent homes. Don Pullen, assistant agricul- tural representative, advised the 4-1I clubbers not to overfeed their gilts because digestive trouble might result causing disease. He also told the mem- bers to keep their pig pens clean and to isolate, the gilts for a month from other swine, Mr. Pullen said Mel Chamber- lain would try to see each mem- bers within the next week. Members of the Hog Produc- ers and the agricultural repres- entatives helped the 4-H club- bers to'pick out their pairs of gilts. The 41I clubbers will display their hogs at the Seaforth Fall Fair. In April, one pig from each pair will he sold to cover the original cost. Lloyd Stewart, president. of the Hog Producers, thanked the Department of Agriculture for their co-operation and said a lot of pigs were turned down to procure the best R.O.P. tested stock, Seaforth and area Swine Club members drawing gilts are Brian Campbell, RR 1, Seaforth; Gerald Coleman, RR 1, Seaforth; Neil Crozier, RR 2, Seaforth; Bill Henderson, RR 5, Sea- " forth; Robert McCartney, RR 3, Seaforth; Jim Papple, RR 4, Sea - forth; Ken Papple, RR 5, Sea - forth, and George Townsend, RR 3, Seaforth.
