"Being An Optimist" was the

of so many things. Radio, pro-
grams and writers lead us to be-
lieve we are going to be destroy-
ed by atqm bombs, flying saucers
and mostly by Russia. Fear shows
a lack of faith, therefore we should -
be optimists and look on the
bright side of things instead of
feeling that the world is, getting
worse, which seems, to be the gen-
eral idea today," continued Mrs.
Doig,
"The major fear today is Rus-

prosper the way she has treated
her prisoners of war. The hard-
ships the Germans are putting up
with today is an example of this.
We should treat our enemies kind-
ly, instead of with the spirit of
getting even. Also use the D.P.'s
coming into our country with more
consideration. They have their
faults, but we also have ours."
In conclusion Mrs. Doig said:
"We all make mistakes, but as

we shouldnever be afraid."

HONOURED. ON 50th
ANNIVERSARY

Bolton Receive Many
Messages.
On Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. R. J.

Mrs. Barnet Bolton, and was born
on the farm on which he still re -
aides, lot 15, con. 8. He has one
sister, -Mrs. Ellen Gliddon, Clinton.
Three brothers and two sisters are

Mrs. Bolton was formerly Mary

coming to Canada with her parents
at the age of one year. She has
two sisters, °Misses Annie and Nel-
lie Pryce, Seaforth, and four -bro-
thers: Edward, Seaforth; Thomas
and John, McKillop, and George,

Mr. and Mrs. Bolton were mar-
ried on March 14, 1900, at the home
of the bride's parents, by the Rev.
A. C. Tiffin and went to live on
the farm where they still live. The
couple were attended by Mr. Nel-
son Askin, now residing in Hamil-
ton, and the late Miss Elizabeth

The faintly of four sons and one
daughter are; Harold and Elmer,
at home; Russell and Lewis, of

Will Climax Seaforth'is
Latest Achievement.
"Next week will see the Com-
munity Centre officially (mewl,
and the threeday- opening progra.ne
will _give every person in the dis-
trict a. final opportunity- to do his
or her part towards contributing to.
its success," said C. P.- Sills», on
behalf of the committee in charge.
"These three days prorlde a var-
iety of entertainment designed to
meet everyone's wishes."
"Since this will be thea last pro-
gress report from the building
committee, a short resume of what
has been accomplished should be
in order. At the outset, the com-
mittee undertook to provide a real
memorial community centre for
this entire district. Today we have
a beautiful building, well con-
structed, which, while plain. in
architectural design, yet' has a
most pleasing appearance, being
situated on the fine elite donated
by the Agricultural Society.,
"'With the addition of the arti-
ficial ice plant, we now have an
ice arena equal to any in Western
Ontario, and superior toemany.
When the floor is complefbd in
this arena: space, we will have an
ovally high-class show place for
every agricultural interest. There
are now installed and in use, am-
ple dressing rooms with showers
and every accessory necessary for
competing- athletes. A fine lobby
with buffet fully supplies the de-
mands of every patron.
"One of the provisions of the
contract was that Legion quarters
for the local Branch No. 156 would
be constructed. These are now in
process of being finished complete-
ly, and most certainly will be a
credit to the whole district. Fur-
ther provision was made .for a
community assembly hall, which,
when finally decorated, will eoin-
plete the picture of a structure an-
swering every need of any com-
munity. Heat, light and sanitary
arrangements should all be in first
class working order for the official
Opening.
"With a structure of this nature,
commenced at a time when most
people thought its erection was
well nigh impossible, there re-
mains a lot of finishing work to
be- done, and this must await -the
adeent of- ageitig. -*Mete haa, of
course, been criticism, possibly
some of it earned. But it should
be remember, those in charge did
not stint themselves in actual work
or energy expended. Whereas cer-
tain phases of the building may
have, in the opinion of some,' re-
ceived undue attention, -this was
no doubt due to the zeal on the
part of those most interested be
that particular phase. The fact
remains, this district»
magnificent buildin
groundwork for
may be quite sily improved, so
that finally the Seaforth Memorial
Centre can be made "the last word
in all that the original committee
set out to provide.
"While there is yet a small in-
debtedness, let us 'hope that the
three days of official opening will
produce the funds to entirety wipe
out any deficit, and it is with this
hope that the Building Committee
invites young and old to honor the
occasion with their presence, at
their own Community -Centre, on
