With 114, successful fairs behinda
them, directors of Seaforth Agri-?
cultural Society are leaving nd{
stone unturned' to make the 115th
fair, being held here Thursday and'
Friday of this week, the outstand-
ing fair in the district. Prizes
totalling almost $8,400 are being
offered.
Word was received Tuesday from
Don Fairbairn, of the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation, that he
will pay a visit to the fair on Fri-
day. Seaforth has been chosen as
one of several fairs to form a part
of a coming CBC program of typi-
.cal Ontario fairs.
Indications are for one of the
biggest fairs in the long history of
the organization, President R. E.
McMillan. says. Entries have been
pouring in for the past two weeks,•
according to the secretary, R. Jas.
Wallace, Over 700 entries have
been made in the adulit„,indoor sec-
tions already, with many major
exhibitors still to enter, On top
of this, many livestock entries have
also been received.
A preliminary count at the Clin-
ton office of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture shows the
number of exhibitors in the two
breed shows down slightly from
last year. However, they express-
ed the view that the total number
of animals in the shows would be
on a par with last year,
Being held as. part of the Sea -
forth "B” fair is the Ontario Here-
ford Regional Show, the Huron
Holstein 'Black and White Show and
the Perth -Huron Jersey Parish
Show.
As well as these special cattle
classes, the open classes include
Shorthorns, Dual -Purpose Short-
horns, Aberdeen -Angus, Guernseys
and Ayrshires. Entries for the
Huron County 4-11 beef champiQn-
ship show indicate this show might
feature upwards 'of a hundred en-.
tries.
On top of this; heavy entries are
expected in the other livestock
classes, including sheep and swine.
Poultry entries already number
160, with more expected before
the deadline Friday morning,
Junior Fair secretary Bill Strong
said Wednesday 18 educational dis-
plays have been registered, for a
total display frontage of 108 feet,.
These displays, which are • placed
on the north side of the arena,

Dublin Service
Honors Grads;
13 In Class
A very impressive ceremony was
held at St. Patrick's Church, Dub-
lin, on Sunday evening, when hon-
ors were conferred on the 1960
graduates of Dublin Continuation
School.
Previous to the ceremony a ban-
quet was held in the high school
auditorium for the graduates,"their
parents and the visiting priests,
Rev. Monsignor J. A. Feeney, St.
Peter's Cathedral; London; Rev.
Don Benninger, C.S.B., Owen
Sound; Rev. 'Harry F. Feeney, C,
R., St. Jerome's High School, Kit-
chener; Rev. J. McCowell, St. Col-
umban; Rev. J. B. Ffoulkes and
Rev. R. Durand, Dublin.
The graduates were preceded to
their places at the front- of the
church by the pupils of the school
Tearing their colors of purple and
gold, while the choir sang, "To
Christ the Prince of Peace." The
graduates were in their regulation
gowns and mortar boards.
The guest speaker was a former
graduate of. Dublin Continuation
School, Rev. H. L. Feeney, C.R.,
St. Jerome's College, Kitchener.
He congratulated the -fraduates,
their teachers and their pastors.
In comparing existing 'conditions
of the depression years of the 30's
and 40's with the present high
standard of living, he emphasized
the necessity of treasuring their
faith as their most precious pos-
session in building their chosen
vocations. It is not prudent to ask,
'''How much money can I make,"
but rather how much worthwhile
happiness can we attain and pass
along to others. We are plAced in
this world to knew, love and serve
God, with the ultimate goal'of the
salvation of our souls.
Father Feeney stated that the
Bishops of each diocese and the
religious orders are all in dire
need of priests, sisters and broth-
ers to administer to the ever in-
creasing population.
Monsignor Feeney presented the
diplomas to 13 graduates: Joan
Coyne, Angela Ducharme, Cather-
ine Feeney, Leona Krauskopf,
Pauline Malone, Sheila Malone,
Helen Maloney, Marion McLaugh-
lin, Louise O'Rourke. Patricia Ry-
an, Theresa Shea, Diane Kistner
and Don Benninger.
Solemn. Benediction concluded
the services with Rev. Monsignor
Feeney as celebrant, assisted by,
Rev. J. McCowell and Rev. R.
Durand. As the graduates march-
ed out° of the church, the high
school choir, accompanied by Mr.
E. C. Harley, sang "The Reces-
sional."
HONORS WERE CONFERRED on the 1960 graduates of Dublin Continuation School on Sunday,
in an impressive - ceremony at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church. Graduates were: front, row, from

setves or,- for that matter, from
other congregations.
The statement issued by the
board follows:
The Maitlandbank Cemetery has
figured rather prominently in the
news during the past three years.
Never since it was surveyed in 1876
has its financial position been the
subject, -of so much local interest
as has been recently the case.
Since its present location was laid
out, more than 3,000 recorded bur-
ials have taken place in this'ceme-
tery, and these burials represent
the pioneers of the district, and the
loved ones of many residents of
the municipalities of Seaforth, Mc-
Killop, Tuckersmith and Hullett,
as well as those who have left the
district and now reside in other
parts of the country. Few- people
realize the upkeep that is neces-
sary in a cemetery of this size;
that each time the grass is cut,
50 miles of land is covered; that
in 1960 the grass was cut 19 times.
After three years of negotiations
during which a committee from
Northside United Church, owner
of the cemetery, has»tried to place
ownership in the hands of the
Town of Seaforth, little progress
has been -made. Early this year,
when it 'Was seen that some action
must be taken with regards to a
superintendent, three -members
were added to the committee, and
Mr. William Bradshaw was re-
hired to this position. The com-
mittee now consists of J. A. West-
cott, chairman; Ross Murdie, Cy-
ril Kirk, William Campbell and
Ross Savauge, secretary -treasurer.
The committee started the year
with a bank loan of $1,400, which
it has recently had to raise to
$1,55.0
Serves Community
During the negotiations with
Council, it ..was- pointed out that
while the Maitlandbank Cemetery
was owned and operated by a sin-
gle Church, it gradually was used
by those of all denominations, until
now it has become a community
cemetery. A check of the religious
affiliations of those now resting in
Maitlandbank Cemetery shows that
members of Northside United
Church are actually in the minor-
ity, yet this church has the re-
sponsibility of the operation of the
cemetery. It was also brought out
that, if the present owners were to
refuse to continue, the complete
responsibility would fall on the
Township of McKillop.
What happens to cemeteries in
surrounding towns? This question
was asked during the negotiations.
Community cemeteries in Clinton,
Exeter and 'Goderich are owned
and operated by the towns. When
deficits occur, the town council
gives a grant to
q them.•These
grants are often substantial.
One of these towns, over the years,
has accumulated over $65,000 in
trust funds. The Maitlandbank
Cemetery's trust fund is approxi-
mately $16,000. No grants of any
kind have been received by the
Maitlandbank Cemetery at any
time from any of the municipali-
ties it is servicing.
It can be seen that, if the Mait-
landbank Cemetery had an annual
income of $3,500 from trust funds
instead of its present income of
less than $800, its financial diffi-
culties' would not only be solved
within. a year's time, but they
would be solved for all time, as
the trust found would increase an-
nually. Thirty-five per cent of the
sale of all lots must be invested
in trust funds by government regu-
