Special music was rendered by the junior choir, and Miss Joan Preszcator sang a solo, "Yes, We Will." L. P. Plumsteel, principal of Sea - forth District High School, was the special speaker, and took his topic on a line of poetry written by Robert Browning, "A man's reach should exceed his grasp." He car- ried the theme toward young, peo- ple in regards to education. "When are' young people striving to do their best? I•t takes pride and de- termination to go ahead." In speak- ing to the parents, he said they must be sold on an education or our children will not have any in- terest. Human conduct is reaching beyond -your grasp. It is easier to go down and thuslower our self- respect -than it is to reach higher. Mr. Plumsteel told the attend- ance the effect on life was the con- nection with your church, and ask- ed the young -.people to still place the church first after they have started out on their own. The high road of life: go to church, and each one aim to reach out farther than he can grasp.

The classes continue throughout July. According to pool supervisor Bruce Langley, approximately 100 children are -taking lessons for the first time. Another 200 are in pre- liminary' classes but have had some instruction previously. -The remainder are in intermediate and senior divisions. Included ani`ong those taking les- sons are 83 children from Brussels. Transportation for the Brussels contingent is made possible by the Brussels Legion. Swimming instruction is free and forms part of the park operating program, financed by the Seaforth Lions Club. The use of the .pool, including free swimming lessons, is available to any child with a season's ticket. The park and pool program this year is estimated to cost $5,250.00. Of this amount,, ap- proximately $3,000.00. will lie cov- ered by revenue from pool admiS- sions and table rentals. The club is dependent on donations from the public for the balance. Swimming lessons continue five mornings each week. In charge of the variou§ classes are Mrs. J. McDowell, Corinne Smith, -Judy Crich, Cathy Eckert and • Tom Dick. Registration and 'checking is handled by Mrs. Norma Sills and Marjorie Papple. Adults classes -two night a week for four weeks -also got under way this week, • •with 12 students registered. The swimming program is car- ried on under the supervision of the swimming division of the:Can- adian Red Cross. Red Cross re- presentatives make regular visits to the pool and at the completion of the courses carry out tests in the various classes. Park officials said this week that the number registered for swimming is the largest since the pool opened. While there has been much activity during the lesson periods, cold weather during re- cent days has reduced the number who have been in swimming in the afternoons and evenings. The boy was practising his violin lesson in the house, while out on the porch his little sister was play- ing with the dog. As the boy scrap- ed away on his fiddle, the hound howled dismally. The sister stood it as long as she could, then poked her head in at the open "window and said, "Vol. goodness sake, Jimmy, can't you' play, something the dog doesn't know?"
