Council Adds to Road Estimates • A bylaw to provide for sup- plementary road expenditures was passed at a special meet- ing of Seaforth council Mon- day night. The bylaw provides for an amended application for provincial road grant and will add $6,000 to the grant for •$18,000 already applied for. The figures cover the cost of road construction and maintenance in Seaforth for no. A 50 per cent grant is given by the On- tario Department of Highways for this type- of work. Council granted permission to the Chamber of Commerce to block off Main Street from George to Goderich Street for a shopping mall Friday night. It was thought the Goderich Street detour might not allow for this situation, but Council- lor Flannery said he had been assured construction would be down past Church Street by Fri- day. Church Street could then be used as a detour street in- stead of Main Street. Reeve Ball suggested traffic could be routed up North Main in any case. Discussion then turned to de- tour signs. It was thought one was needed at Sperling Street. Council felt that signs pointing out the route of the detour were not adequate.

The greens were in good con- dition for the 16 entries from Wingham, Goderich, Sarnia, Mitchell, St. Marys and Strat- ford, as well as Seaforth. A pot -luck lunch was served between the second and third games. (Additional sports on Page 5) Mayor Dinsmore suggested standard posts be acquired -for stop signs.

District Orangemen Parade at Exeter The • Orangemen's parade, the first in 29 years at Exeter, drew 1500 Orangemen from across Western Ontario, including Sea - forth district Friday afternoon. According to Oliver Jaques of Hensall, the program chair- man, the parade drew the col- orful marchers from 32 lodges. It marked the 273rd annivers- ary of the Battle of the Boyne. The parade, led by Doug Triebner of Exeter, astride the traditional white horse, includ- ed a unit of women marchers who carried matching umbrel- las with their all -white uni- forms. As well, the Orangemen at- tired in the traditional trap- pings, the parade had the usual high-stepping pretty majorettes and band music, plus the dis- tinctive sound of the bagpipe. Many of the marchers found relief from the hot sun only when clouds moved in front of it. The Beula Lodge of Lis- towel, a women's unit, carried umbrellas to shield themselves from the sun. The Palmerston Legion Pipe Band and the Belgrave Pipe Band, along with the individual pipers, provided the music for the+ marchers. After marching through Exe- ter, the parade returned to the starting point, Memorial Park, to hear ,a slate of speakers. Rt. Worshipful Brother Dom- inic De Stasi, who is the junior deputy grand master of Ontario West, explained in the keynote address the Orange Lodge op- position to Separate Schools in order to have one school for all. He told the audience, esti- mated at 2,000, "The Roman Catholic school has to operate nowhere. The Roman Catholic churoh is not required, by law or regulation, to establish even one separate school in Ontario, nor are its members. There nev- er was any suggestion, or law, that the two systems would be equal—one Protestant, the oth- er Roman Catholic. "One is a public, non-denom- inationel, non-sectarian school epen to ,anyone and everyone; the other, a competing're- ligious, separate, sectarian school for those who dissent from public school support and wish their children to be segre- gated from other children in the community in the most forma- tive years of their life." The- list of speakers included Hon. Charles • MacNaughton, minister of highways for On- tario, Elston Cardiff, Conserva- tive MP for Huron, Mayor El- drid Simons of Exeter, J. V. Mills, Grand Master of Ontario West, and Ruth Day, Mistress of LOBA. The festivities concluded dur- ing the evening with a softball game and a dance. The Glorious Twelfth com- memorates the battle in 1690 between King William III (Wil- liam of Orange) and King James 11 on the banks of the Boyne River in Ireland, near Carbury, County Kildare. William's vic- tory is celebrated by Orange- men as a victory for the Pro- testant cause. ' Other area lodes participat- ing in the parade were from Blyth, Clinton, Bayfield, Bel - grave and Mitchell.

The boys have formed a car club, The Golden Customs, and one -of their main purposes is to confine drag racing to the .drag strip—in other words, off the town streets. The club was officially form- ed on June 19 with nine lads. The word spread by the grape- vine and membership has now increased to 20. • As most of the boys have their own cars, president Mike Malone says the club will give members a chance to help each other work on their cars. They want to keep them safe for the road by gaining a better under- standing of proper maintenance and car safety. One of the first acts of the club was to send to the Na- tional ' Hotrod Association, an international organization, in- cluding Canada and the United States, for information concern- ing the operation of a car club.' When the information was re- ceived, the boys set to work to draft their own constitution. The club has tentative plans of joining the association. The Golden Customs have set themselves a No. 1 objective— that is, to build a club hotrod to race at the St. Thomas drag strip. Their biggest problem is to find a place in which 'to build it. As yet, no one will rent them space in a building be- cause they have to use torch- es for cutting and welding. Two of the lads have decided not to wait. They are going ahead and building their own 'rods. Mike Malone has a '30 Chev. couple and is shopping Pry Wreckage To Rescue Injured Stratford Man A Stratford man suffered a broken leg and cuts when the car he was driving crossed High; way 8, just east of the Seaforth town limits, and smashed into a tree At noon on Tuesday. Inyestigating OPP Constable Al towering said the car of the injured man, William Leasa, 78, apparently had a flat tire just before the accident. Mr. Leasa was taken to Scat Memorial Hospital, and later transferred to Stratford Gen- eral Hospital, where he is re- ported in satisfactory condition. Police and ambulance crew had to pry the wreckage away from the car before Mr. Leasa could be released. around for an engine. Vice-president Earl Gackstet- ter of Exeter has a '53 Ford ' with an Olds mill. Secretary -treasurer ' of t h e club is Ken Bedard, and Ron Brady is the sergeant -at -arms: The club also inchules members from Mitchell and -Exeter. Group Tours District Farms A group of almost 50 mem-- bers of the Huron Soil and Crop' Improvement Association spent Tuesday on a tour of various farms and agricultural indus- tries in South Huron. The tour, organized to inspect different operations on farms and in factories* included the Canadian Canners in Exeter, and the farms of James M. Scott, Alex 1VIcGregor, the Mc- Intosh poultry farm and Roches Faber, in the Seaforth area, and Stacey Bros. in Mitchell. Members on the tour had. lunch served by ladieS of the Orange Lodge at the Orange Hall in Seaforth. Weekend Rain Brings Relief To Pasture Parched farmlands and gar- dens in the area slaked their thirst on Sunday as a welcome rain fell during- the 'day for the first time in almost a month. Farmland was so dry that tractors crawling through the fields invariably left behind a cloud of dust. Town residents were busy practically every night hosing lawns and sprink- ling gardens. R. J. Boussey, manager of the PUC, reports that the reservoir has shown rid appreciable drop in the past month, but the pumps were working overtime to supply water for the gar- dens. The rain, he says, has brought the pimping back to normal as the thin residents have eased up on watering lawns. Although the rain slowed the haying for a day or two, it saved the corn and pasture from drying right up. Many of the other crops will also bene- fit. The light falling rain, which began overnight Saturday, was perfect for the farmers as lit- tle damage was done. The bene- ficial effects far outweighed the harmful. ' All in all it is estimated about an inch of rain fell.
