Among those at the event were pupils of as long ago as 70 years. Pupils of the class" of 1890 sat in the Same schoolroom as pupils now at the school, in a gathering that included eight former teachers, as well as the present teacher, Mrs. Arthur Kemp. The celebration got •underway with •a parade from the farm of Alvin Worden, south along the county road to the schoolgrounds. Feature of the parade was a cover- ed wagon, designed and equipped as in pioneer times, with a cow tied behind, and chickens in crates tied to the sides. Principal speaker at the after. noon program was Miss Jean Ham- ilton, an ex -pupil, who is now a Toronto journalist. A dance was held in the evening using an open- air platform in the schoolgrounds, The Bannockburn Pipe Band, from Varna, led the parade, and played at intervals during the after- noon. The school building—third school to serve the section—was redecor- ated in preparation Tor the reunion by trustees John Templeman, Geo. Moore and Cliff Miller. Rev. A. H. Daynard, minister of Staffa United Church, and a resi- dent of the section, conducted a memorial service Saturday morn- ing, in memory of former teachers and former pupils who have pass- ed on. • The prize for the oldest ex -pupil among those registered went to Foster Harburn, DVS, of Seaforth, whose 82nd birthday was on 'Sun- day, August 31. Among the former girl pupils registered, the oldest was Mrs. Margaret Bean„,the for- mer Margaret Pepper, of Hensall, who is 77. Competition for the prize for the one coming the farthest to attend resolved itself into a case of broth- er against brother. Frank Beck- ett and William Beckett came from Saskatchewan for the occasion, and for both of them, it was the first time in 57 years they had been back in their home neighbourhood. Frank Beckett's home in Kegworth, Sask., is farther west than Wil- liam's home in Winthorpe, Sask., so Ftank got the prize. Mrs. Cecil Bowman, Staffa, active in the centennial arrange- inents, has had three associations with the school section. She was once a pupil at SS 3; 38 years ago, she was the teacher; now she is, a resident of the section, and a rate- payer, helping to support the school with her taxes. The Elliott fainily, which has four generations of connection with the school section, achieved one of the best attendance records ,at the reunion. All of the eight children of Frank Elliott and the late Mrs. Frank Elliott attended the reunion, as well as grandchildren who have been pupils at SS 3, and one great- grandchild, Julie Ann Elliott, who is to start to school at SE 3 in September. The five sons and three daughters who attended were Lloyd, Staffa; Durward, Hamifton; Norval, Earl and Lorne, all' of Dublin; Clara, now Mrs. Howard 'Fletcher, Lam- beth; Ada, now Mrs. Harry Schel- lenberger, Clinton; Ethel, now Mrs. Homer Jeffrey, Detroit. Senior among- the eight former teachers who returned for the day was Mrs. John Twaites, Stratford, who, as Mary Jordon, taught at SS 3 for three and a half years, • RCAF, Locals' to Compete in Meet A swimming meet in which jun- iors of the Seaforth Lions Pool and of RCAF Station Clinton will com- pete will be held Wednesday after- noon, August 10, at 2 o'cloek.

Scott Hospital A ccommodation Taxed To Limit Accommodation at Scott Mem- orial Hospital has been taxed to capacity during the past week ac- cording to hospital officials. On Wednesday there were 38 adult patients and five babies.

Meanwhile preliminary planning for new hospital accommodation is going ahead. It is expected that representatives of the board's architects and of a firm of hos- pital consultants will meet with the board next week and examine the property which was recently purchased as a site for a new hos- pital. ings take place Thursday evening.
