How well I remember the building of this church! Sam Cooper, of Clinton, was the gen- cailitractdr. There Was con- siderable of a • "struggle" in Brucefield church circles at that time--for a while the pros and cons were about evenly divided.. • The pastor, the Rev. E. H. Sawers, contended that if the youth of the district was to be kept intact, and interested in church work, then a more modern church must be built., He had his follow- ing. My Uncle Jack McQueen was one. On the "no" side was my I— Uncle Jim McQueen. And that's way it was.-larecall -that-une lady told Mr. Sawers: "You keep at this church -buildingprogiam and your' days of usefulness are over here." I recall, too, one of the stalwarts on the male side telling him: "Stick -to it; well • have our way in the long run." The "no" folks argued that all that was needed was a few repairs to the old church. For several months the dis- cussion continued, until one Fri- day a well-attended congrega- tional meeting voted to build-- and that settled it. It was, indeed, a spirited meeting, to say„.the least. Several left the church that day, murmuring that they - would never return--they'd find a new place of worship-but, like so many storms of, the past, and since real true Christians quarrel in sincerity, but in like Christian sincerity, they later fall in line together, remembe- ring our human frailty and like- wise the admonition of the Gentle Master: "My Father's HoUse is a House of Prayer." Obviously, I do not remember "Minister" Ross of the Old Kirk a then at Brucefield. Rev. Simpson, Cecil's father, was also before my time. But I do well remember the Rev. Walter Muir, his wife and sons, especially Charley. I spent many a pleasant Saturday after- noon playing with Charley Muir at the manse. I remember the mic- a' 4 tion sale (the Muirs were return- ing to Scotland), and how John Armstrong, Jim Paterson, Bob Smillie and others got into a snap- bidding contest" that day, result being the total receipts of the sale were tops. A few months later Rev. Sawers was called to' take over the Brucefield congregation: tie came with his wife and son, Charley, and daughters, Aggie, Edith and Laura. At the time the new church was built, Dave Bell, Dr. Dave McIntosh, John and James Me- e(* Queen, George Hart, Archie Mc- ( Neil, William Fotheringham, and I believe Jim Gemmell and Ben Higgins Were the members of the ruling session board. Mr. Jamieson had been char leader for years. I believe Jack Snider followed, with Mrs. Snider, orga- nist. When I left Brucefield, Miss Jean McBeath (Mrs. J. R. Murdoch) was both organist and song leader. I am very sure there are not many left who will recall that in "old kirk" days an organ Just wasn't allowed in the church. 111 ..... 41 qr . • , 0 4 14.1p Fatal* popTojR, SEAF.ORTH, oNT, is,tig; 12g 1,71! • The standings in Industrial Ball remained unchanged Monday night as Mainstreet maintained their two point edge over the Mechanics.

(Staff Photo) SeafOrth Loses to Goderich, Defeats Hensall Here 9-2 4 The Seaforth Intermediates Men's Fastball Team split a pair of return matches against Hensall and Goderich this week as they continued their exhibit- ion schedule. Sunday 'evening they lost their first game to Gord's Sports from Goderich 2 - 1 after stretching their undefeated string to three by beating Hensall 9 - 2 on Wed- -nesday night- - LOSE FIRST TO GODERICH The Intermediates went down,, to their first defeat at the hands of Gord's Sports from Goderich 2 - 1 Sunday evenin g at the Optima ist Recreation Grounds, before a a excellent turnout of fans. The game was close through- out and featured excellent pitching from both mounds. Chuck Kreiger went the distance for Seaforth allowing only 6 hits and one walk while striking out 00.01100.1000...0. -00-00 00,.......10.0110 St. Columban Loses To Stratford for the Seaforth team as the battery accounted for all of Seaforth's hits. Pitcher Chuck Kreiger got two singles while catcher Ray Anstett picked up one. Lest There Be Light Take a drive one of these warm late summer evenings and no matter which direction you take, the glare from well- lit ball parks forms an oasis of light on the horizon..., Clinton, Mitchell, Brodhagen, Cromarty and countless other towns around the area, some much smaller than Seaforth have modern lighting on their ball parks which make them both a delight to play in and to visit. Not so in Seaforth. Granted we have excellent facilities in Seaforth for baseball with both the' Lions Park and Optimist Recrea- tion Grounds (Ftec.) providing good diamonds, so long as the sun shines. And it is not impossible for nightime ball to be seen in Seaforth. The lights at the Lions Park still operate but-they-are ineffieien constitute a hazard to players. • l'arignie some of you are thinking right now "If the Service Clubs are going to operate the parks, let them pay for the lights". And I'm also sure that you think if you sit there long •enough the service clubs will do just that. As I have said before (and will no doubt say -again) the service clubs in seaforth believe in both the youth of the town and for that matter the town itself. But it takes time to raise that kind of money. What kind of money, you ask? Bill (Wink) Teall of the Optimist Club committee in charge of the Rec. told me-he had done some investigating. Wink found out that towers (TV type) and a new type of metal-arc lamp which i s reasonably priced would cost $3,400 for the Rec. This' does not include cement bases, control, box, wiring or labour so it is safe, and probably conservative, to say $5,000 for each park. In the case of the Optimists that's $250 that must be raised for each member of the clubs in other words about 3 years of saving every penny they make. Just great if you want to wait 3 years for lights. I'm sure the Lions Club is in the same position or maybe worse. i That excellent park with its pools and other facilities doesn't keep itself up for free, you know. But let's' look at it another way. $5,000 for one park or $10,000 for two looks like a lot of money, doesn't it? But if the entire population in the Seaforth trading area were to part with only $1.00 per person, bOth parka-could . be lit with modern lighting by next spring. Only $1. per person! Even if 50% of the people say "No", one park could be, lit. I'm sure both service clubs With a little help from the community would jump at the chance to improve the Seaforth area and their Service to the citizens of the area. If we are to have competitive teams such as the one I proposed last week, we must also have competitive facilities. I, for one, think we can have even better facilities than the surrounding area. Let me know how you feel and I'll pass it along, There isa no reason why Seaforth can't ,be as bright a community in every respect a:S,the, next one. SEAFORTH WINS THIRD Seaforth won their third straight start when they defeated Hensall 9 - 2 in a game played al—fice—Oitinifit Recreation Grounds last Wednesday.

The game was the first in a best of 5 series. Fullarton whose record in the Waterloo-Oxford League was 10 wins and '8 losses never really got into the game but Brewer fans had plenty to cheer about as the home team got to 50's pitcher John Rodgers for 13 hits while 9 Fullarton errors added to the excitement. Rodgers struck out 9 men and walked one in the contest. Gary Little was on the mound for Brodhagen. He allowed 8 hits while striking ou t 9 and walking 3. Brodhagen committed 2 errors.

St. ,Columban lost their 1st home game of the season when they were defeated 3-1 by •FAG Stratford in a London and Dig- trict Soccer League game played in Seaforth on Saturday. Strat- ford hold 1st place in league standings but , were fortunate to ' come up with the victory on Saturday. St. coiumnan carried most of the play in the first half but were thwarted at the Stratford goal-mouth on three different occasions before they finally did score. John Gottschalk made a long pass from the left wing to Brian Melady on the right side of the FAG goal. As the Strat- ford goalie came out to cover the shot , the ball was centred to Tom Love, who fired it into the unguarded FAG net. St. Columban continued to press but couldn't find the range around the Stratford goal. Stratford finally tied the score near the end of the half on a centering pass from the left wing that was fired into the' St. Columban net from directly in front, with goalie Paul O'Reilly having no chance on the play, ,making it 1-1 at half-time. Play was even in the 2nd half until the mid-way point when a clearing shot in the St. Col- umban end took a crazy bounce, with goalie Paul O'Reilly ceding out to cover the bounding ball, it bounced the opposite way into IST DIVISION ( 22.95 to Q. 35.00 PENNY SALE WINNERS Lucky winners at the Lions Club Penny Sale, may pick their Kizes up at STEWART BROS.

WEDDING INVITATIONS THE -HURON EXPOiITOR PHONE 527-0240 Seaforth 00,010-010V0 00. 0,0-00 00 010 - The Sports, Column (By Rob Brady) In view of the interest in- volved in rebuilding Brucefield Church following the disastrous fire -of last year, several readers have suggested a letter from Jim O'Neil, a former Brucefield area resident, which appeared in the---- Expositor several years ago, be I reprinted.. , This is Mr. •O'Nell's letter: I'm not exactly sure of .this, but almost--that no female in sex was permitted to lead the singing in those days either. I am very sure they, the women, didn't vote in those days. (Oh, how we frail • males" have slipped in the past century!). Anyway, the church at Bruce- field--the old kirk, the Methodist and the Presbyterian, and as of now, the United Church, these meant much in molding character in that vicinity. It is a very dis- tinct credit to Brucefield that from Brucefield, ' its Sunday Schools and the like, have gone out men and women to various parts of Canada ,and some, to our Nation here; men and women who have at least played some small part in public and professional life, and, in other and various ways, have contributed toward the bet- terment of mankind. In closing, I am very grateful to Bob Watson and the committee for the thoughtfulness in inviting us to this golden jubilee, but while Mrs. O'Neill is coming along nicely through her illness, I am very sure I cannot leave her to attendathese service; nmeh would like to be there. I'd like to hear---Gharley---M•ustard - preach-- - again-a 'great family, the Mustards. Ernie and I were neighbor" pals for years. Then, there was, Billy, who operated the mill at Bayfleld; Thornton, who rose to be a Canadia.n educational leader; John, who •took over his father's business and expanded it. As far as I know, Alex , Jr., remained on the farm. There'll be a lot missing from the pews on Sunday, June 15, when Charley Mustard preaches again, so many whom he knew so well in days agone. Time takes its toll. I'll be thinking of those services on Sunday, June 15, and in my imagination '1'11 be seated there, as I was a half-a-century ago, and will be seeing the Bairds, the Boyces, Gilmores, the McEwans., Thompsons, the Footes, Swans, McGregors, McCowans, the. Aikenheads, Gibsons, Ross's, Berrys, Murdochs,, Aliens, the Landsboroughs, Burdges,Modd- ies--and oh so many more-file down the aisles; , at the sound of the new organ all arose to jolnin: "Praise God From Whom All Blessings' Flow." There were other Sundays, too, when Charley Mustard would preach, or perhaps Jim Foote, or "Bay" Ketchen. I'll be thinking of the Old Church too, and the Christmas entertainment and Sunday School picnics. Indeed, it was at one of these picnics at Bayfieldwhen I was 15, when I met my first girl friend--her Dad used to refer to me always as "Jimmy O'Harry". Are there any still living who remember? Many of us delivered our first speech (we called it a "re- citation") 4n the old and new church at Brucefield at Christ- mas time. Many of us sang our first seta there--no, I didn't; no one ever hear me sing. And at a dahce I was a perfect nuis- ance for, like my Dad, I had a • Methodist leg" that Ji1st wouldn't navigate, except to step on my partner's toes. But now I'm getting off the subject, so will close with this thought. A friend from Hensall wrote recently and asked: "Jim do you really believe that the U.S. and its Allies, armed - with H-bombs and missiles, Is the answer toward world peace?" No, I don't! Only Christ is the answer. Until all Nations real- ize that He meant it when He said: I am the way," there Writer Recalls History of Brucefield Congregation 13 Goderich batters. But the performance wasn't quite good enough as Goderich's Doherty allowed only one run on 3 hits. He struck out 10 Sea- forth hatters and, did not allow a walk. Goderich committed two errors and Seaforth one in the course of the game.• Each team scored once In the first -inning' and the game" remained deadlocked to the !Mirth frame when Goderich's Doherty hit a single, stole second, and then scored on Seaforth's only error. The Goderich battery proved as lethal at the plate' as on tag„ field as the catcher, Rumig hit 3 singles and Doherty got 2 to account for 5 of Goderich's 6 hits. The sixth went to short stop, Thompson who also got a single.
