The Seaforth News, 1938-04-07, Page 4PAGE FO1JR GETTING READY FOR THESPRING SHOW The array of spleedid horses at the Shows never fails to arouse a ,feeliag of pride and pleasure all its awe-. A good horse ia a joy in itself anywhere I‘ or anytime. And there is the know- ledge that these magnificent animals at the local shows are for the most part a home product. leas years of careful breeding have been devoted to raising better horses. +However, as ahow day approaches there still remain anal touches ni grooming for the prize ring. , In the above picture Mr. Alex. Lillico ,Fsgmonclaille blacksmith, is shown at work at the -Glenn farm la Stanley townsaip, where he fitted 'bev- el shoes on six show horses belonging to Mr, John H. MeEwen and son, Stuart D. aloEsven af Stanley, last Thursday afternoon. Stuart MoEwen (right) in holding an' Agricultural mare coming three years old. Why bevel shoes? Bevel shoes are handmade and display the size and shape of the foot to better advantage and are therefore much in favor lor show 'horses. They cost around S1.25. about twice as much 27; ordinary ma- chine made horseshoes. Stttart Duncan McEwen is 21 years of age. He has been showing horses for nine years, since he was twelve. "They laughed at me when I first showed because they thought I was too young," Stuart told The News. But they did not laugh long. A glance over the rows of prize ribbons tacked up in the stable explained why. Stuart has taken many .firsts 58501 g his prizes 114, CM at Clintoe. Seafor 13, "the Royal" and elsewhere. "Our horses work hard all sum- mer," he said, explaining that he and his father work their 490 -acre farm themselves. Taey have ten horses at present. There is no tractor on the eEtren farm. "You can't 'farm properly with a tractor," was Stuart's, opinion. This farm on the :third concession of Stanley has 'been in the McElwee family for four or five generations "right back to the stumps." Stuart told with a amile 'that the boys have rather "thinned out" among the Me.Rwen's and he is the only boy itt this generation. In the alcEwen stable, to which Staart had returned from the bleak - smith shop with a newly -shod horse, were several Agriculturals, coming two, coining three, 'coming five, ao Agricultural brood mare, and a Heavy Draft brood mare that has raised six splendid colts, All their horses are from the Murdoch horses at Bruce - field. As the younger animals .come !along and are ready for work. some of the others are sold. 111a few minutes Stuart was away again, running on foot at the head of another horse whose turn it was to visit the 'blacksmith up at Glenn's. The enthusiasm and interest dis- played in th'eir stork by the young people on the farm these clays surely Promises well for the future and might be a revelation to many.

J. Staple- ton of the Collegiate Institute had passed away in the G. and M. Hospis tal, Though it was knotan that he was critically ill, the hope was that he would recover and be spared to con- tinue his Place amongst the • citizens and continue his great and sac.cessful work with the students a his classes The definite news of his death cast a gloom over the town. Fellow citizen's could scarcely realize that it was 'pos_ ailale, while, at the Collegiate, the members of the teaching staff and the students were so .duntbfouaded as to Tender it next to impossible to carry on. Immediately on learning the sad news the classes were gathered in the auditorium, where the acting princi- pal, R. Inkster, passed on the me's- aa,ge and fallowing, amid flawing tears, the Lord's Prayer in unison, were dismissed. Mr. Stapleton had been ill a week. Early on the .preeeding :Friday morn ing he was auddenily stricken and des- pite close and eareful medical atten- tion and nursing, rapidly became more and more serious, On Sunday 'evening an operation was performed. From this, at times, he appeared to Tally but the changes were only temporary and, on Thursday morning, as his pupils were gathering in the .Collegiate, he passed away. In his honor the Insti- tute was closed on Thursday and Fri- day. Mr, Stapleton was but fatty -three years of age. Ile was born on a farm on the Huron Road, 'between the 11 -- lege of D'u'blin and Seaforth, the son ot pioneer parents, Mr. and 'Airs. Jere- miah Stapleton.

In ecte- cation he stood in the foremost rank, his succeas as a teacher being recog- nized by parents and ptspils, He was honorable to the highest degree add had a kindly, 'genial manner which made him friends on all sides. Few :teachers have enjoyed so 'greatly the esteem, indeed the love, of those who constituted their classes. By his staff he was extended unqualified loyalty. Wit13 him they co-operated in every possible way, the pleasure being theirs to assist in attaining the 'success for th., classes that was always his great desire. With the students of the Collegiate he entered into the studies and their sports, As physical instructor he be_ came widely known as a foot ball coach and during his sixteet years he led the Collegiate senior and junior arid squads to twelve •Georgian Bay Championships and in two seasons to the senior central Ontario secondary school title.

'The Georgian Bay ,Football League and the Curling Club were al- so included in the organizations to which he lent his ,assistance. At the Collegiate Institute he was instructor af the Cadets for fifteen years, the corps under his direction again and again winning warm praise from the inspecting officer. The funeral service was held on Sa- turday morning. Flags .floated at half- mast on the .public 'buildings, while business in town was practicatly sus- pended, the citizens 'gathering en inasse to pay a final tribute of respect to one they honored in life and mourn- ed in death.The remains were in state M the main corridor of the Col- legiate 'for an hour, from nine till ten o'clack, during which time the stu- dents .6f the Collegiate and great num- bers of the citizens passed by. the :bier which was almost Iburied with floral tokens.
