Legion Drumhead Service
The strength of the free world
as exemplified by the British Com-
monwealth of Nations, lies not in
the phyaicai- characteristics such
Se St. Paul's Cathedral or the Buck-
ingham Palace, nor does it lie' in
$the systems whieh have been
evolved and which are regarded as
-essentials; such as freedom to wort
iship and to express one's thoughts,
;but rather it lies in the readiness
of the common people—the ordin-
ary people—to sacrifice themselves
for the good of their country, Major
Finlay Stewart, of St. Andrew's
Presbyterian Church, Kitchener,
told a large audience who attend-
ed the Drumhead service of Zone
C-1 of the Canadian Legion, which
was held in the Lions Park here
on Sunday afternoon. Major Stew-
art was introduced by Rev. D.
Glenn Campbell, of Seaforth, who
epointed out that Major Stewart had
nerved for 17 years in Kitchener,
with the exception of five years
which he spent in the Army.
Major Stewart told his audience
that there are those who tend to
deride the capacity for good of an
individual. "But," he said, "we
anust appreciate the fact that there
#.s a tremendous value in the effort
of. each of us. Personal contribu-
tions do count in the community,
7n the country, and in the entire
Ield of our Christian thinking." It
)must be recognized, he went on,
that the world today is divided in-
to two camps, and that the battle
Jags to do with the minds of man.
The free world can no longer sit on
the fence. It must determine whe-
ther or not it is to be on the side
of materialism, or on the side of
God.
Ourfuture security, Major Stew -
Ort said, lies in the preservation of
the way of life which we enjoy, and
this preservation is possible only
as a result of each of us giving
witness to it by exemplification of
Vbrietian ethics, by church attend -
once, and by a firm belief in the
teaching of God. We have a fur-
ther responsibility, too, he said, in
mat we must teach and. direct the
Gives of the rising generation in a
Manner which will ensure that they
will appreciate the fundamentals.. of
Cie free world.
"Those in the other camp," Maj-
or Stewart said, "are doing an ex-
cellent job. in the battle for the
mind. of men. Wte, if we are to
compete, must lose no time in do-
ing . an equally good job," The
speaker went on to indicate that
while ultimately the peace of the
world depended on a Christian ap-
proach, at the same time each na-
tion of the free world must be pre-
pared to defend its way of life,
with the life and blood of its citi-
zens if that became necessary.
While this might 'be necessary, it
would by no means 'be a final solu-
tion.
The Drumhead Service, held in
the beautiful setting of Lions Park,
,'followed the arrival of a parade of
Legion members representing the
Branches of Zone 1. Included in
The parade were the Seaforth High-
landers Band, the Bannockburn
Pipe Band, and the Brussels Legion
Pipe Band, The parade was in
charge of parade marshal F. E.
Willis, while the color party was in
charge of Harry McLeod. The Leg-
ion detail in charge of traffic ar-
rangements assisting' Constable G.
Perris, was headed by Ken Powell.
On arrival at the park, the pro-
gram commenced with President
Stuart Wigg, of the Seaforth
Branch, welcoming the members to
the rally. He, in turn, introduced
Zone ommander J. D. Tborndyke,
of Clinton, who was in charge of
the program.
Mayor E. A. McMaster, of Sea -
forth, extended a civic -welcome, in
Which he paid tribute to the con-
tributions which the members of
the Legion had made to Canada in
two worldewars. "You are the men

Mr. and Mrs. William Cameron,
Tuckersmith, were completely tak-
en by surprise Friday evening when
about 60 neighbors and friends
gathered to help celebrate the
35th anniversary of their wedding.
Cards and music were enjoyed in

neighbors and friends for their
generosity. Music and dancing
were enjoyed later. Following is
the address:
Dear Verde and Bills: It's thirty-
five years since you took that
first world-shaking step; I'll bet
you'll both say that it's like yes-
terday, except for a shortage of
pep. But the shortage of pep is
made up in sense; thank heaven,
the years bring us that; though our
ha�ir should turn grey, or should
wither away, and the muscle we
had turn to fat. The years have
brought many good things to your
door: there's Elmer and Audrey
and Ann; a good farm to work, a
place in the kirk, who'd ask more
for woman or man? And last, but
not least, are the friends here to-
night, who've come to rejoice on
the date; and you'll get the drift,
when we give you 'this gift, here's
how: Let us all celebrate. sitated a cast.

Graduation Program;
The auditorium of the Seaforth
and District High School was filled
to capacity on ..Wednesday when
the students and staff met with the
parents on the annual Graduation
Day.
Principal L. P. Plumsteel presid-
ed and in his opening remarks
urged all the members of the
graduating class to remember that
no matter where they went or
what work they took up, they
would be associated with the
school, and that what they did
would determine the reputation of
the school.
The chairman of the- Board, Gor-
don McGavin, presented the Inter-
mediate Certificates to 67 students,
and in his comments mentioned the
progress which had been made on
the new gymnasium which is to be
the nucleus of a new and enlarged
School, better fitted to meet the
needs of the district. He pointed
out that in these times everybody
needs a better education in order
to meet the requirements of his
job and predicted increasing enrol-
ments for the school. •
The secondary school graduation
diplomas were presented by staff
member F. A. Dobson, who con-
gratulated the students on the job
they had accomplished and spoke
of . the co-operation which existed
between teachers and pupils.
Introduced by James L. Slattery,
the guest speaker of the afternoon,
James Scott, described some of the
tremendous hardships which faced
the pioneer settlers of Huron Coun-
ty in opening,- up a wilderness
which, before 1825, had been seen
by only a handful of white men.
The strong backs and the sturdy
courage of these men could not in
itself had been enough to surmount
the hazards which the settlers fac-
ed, the speaker said. Their task
was superhuman and only became
possible with the element which is
found in- the school motto—Hope,

The Ontario Municipal Board will
hold a hearing in Seaforth on Mon-
day, July 5, in order to obtain evi-
dence in support of or in opposition
to the application of the town with
respect to the construction of a
partial sewage system, members of
Seaforth Council were informed at
a meeting Thursday night, The ac-
tign of the Board followed receipt
by it of a by-law of the minici-
prity and also of a petition signed
by certain Seaforth ratepayers op-
posing the undertaking.
Mayor E. A• McMaster presided
atll.the meeting and all members of
council were present. Reeve Nor-
man Scoins, however, was delayed
by attendance at the meeting of
Huron County Council at Goderich.
In reporting to Council on the
work of the street committee,
Councillor E, H. Close, who is
chairman of that committee, stated
that he had been informed that it
would be necessary to purchase a
new blinker light at the intersec-
tion of Goderich and Main Streets,
at a cost of $220. The former
blinker Light, which has been in
service for about six years, has not
worked properly since the conver-
sion two years ago, and the parts
which are in need of repair cannot
be properly repaired or are not re-
placeable. he said. Council agreed
that it was essential that the
blinker light be replaced as soon
as possible.
To See Huron Engineer
Councillor Close told council of
the work which had been done
throughout the town in cleaning
and repairing drains and also that
catchbasins .had been constructed
at two different locations. During
the period under review, streets
had been resurfaced throughout the
work had been put into making the
corner attractive, and that it was
only reasonable that council pro-
vide some protection.
Since the property is located at
a corner, Council instructed the
street committee to erect signs in-
dicating there was to be no park-
ing from the sign to the corner, in
the hope that this would eliminate
the problem.
Dog Days Here Again
Councillor Close served notice
too that he would not be respons-
ible for the protection of local prop-
erty from stray dogs. He pointed
out that in the short time between
his supper and the meeting, he had
had two calls concerning dogs. It
was indicated that in other cen-
tres the police were responsible for
dogs, and that if a net was procur-
ed, it might be possible to catch
some of the animals that were
causing the trouble. Council was
told that insofar as Stratford was
concerned, the police attempted to
catch stray dogs, and if they were
not successful in catching them,
they were shot.
When Councillor Close indicated
that he felt most of the difficulty
arose because the dogs were only
half fed, and that this led them to
howl and to seek fool) in gardens,
Councillor Crich offered a solution
—buns to any dogs who- needed
them. No action was taken, as
Mayor McMaster pointed out that
the same problem existed through-
out the country and that apparent-
ly, it had never been solved.
Council gave consideration to re-
pair work necessary on the Main
St. sidew=alk and considered a re-
port which the street committee
presented with respect to the use
of cold patch, which would cost

Today, Mr. Scott affirmed, we face
just as great tests—though not the
same ones—as the pioneers, and it
is the duty of every one to train
his mind to meet this challenge
with as much success as that of
our forefathers.
After Mr. Scott congratulated the
25 members of the graduating class,
they and their families enjoyed tea
on the school lawn served by the
girls of Grades 11 and 12. At the
same time, several members of var-
ious municipal council who were
present at the exercises, took the
opportunity to examine the pro-
gress which has been made in the
construction of the new gymnasium.
Dislocated Shoulder,
Mrs. Bickell Improving
The many friends of Mrs. Thos.;
Bickell, who has been a patient in
Scott Memorial Hospital, will be
pleased to know that she is pro-
gressing favorably. Mrs. Bickel)
fell at her residence and suffered
a dislocated shoulder, which neces-
St. `is concerned, Some two years
ago, as a result of an arrangement
with the County, the street was re-
surfaced but Council understood at
that time that a top coat ,would be
placed on the street at a later date.
Apparently netts there is some con-
fusion as to whether or not the
County agreed to carry out this
further work. Mayor McMaster re-
called that County Engineer Pat-
terson was with street foreman
Harold Maloney,, when he said that
there would be a second layer plac-
ed on the street. Councillor Sharp
recalled, too, that he had been told
that a second coat would_be placed
on the street.
Mayor McMaster suggested that
the solution might well be to have
a delegation of ttico or thee from
the Council, together with the
street forem.an, Maloney, go to
Goderich and interview the County
Engineer in the matter.
A. request from Mrs. W. A. Cam-
eron for assistance in preventing
the parking.of vehicles on the boul-
evards adjacent. to her residence
at the corner of East William St.
and Franklin St., was viewed fav-
orably by council. The difficulty,
however, was that without a by-law
it would not 'be possible to enforce
'no parking' order in the event
that signs were erected. Councillor
Christie .pointed out that a lot of

had some experience, and which
was not a tar compound. No deci-
sion was reached, .but Councillor
Leslie agreed that he would obtain
further information regarding the
material to which he had referred.
Reporting for the property com-
mittee. the chairman, Councillor
Keith Sharp, told council that cer-
tain decorating had been dune at
the town residence occupied by Art
Bushie. The work was undertaken
by Mr. Busknie himself, with the
municipality supplying the mater-
ials. He also told council. that Mr.
Bushie had been injured while car-
rying cement and would be off work
for 10 days or two weeks, at the
most.
He referred to previous proposal
that the High School be approach-
ed with respect to the establishing
of a tree nursery. but Council felt
that, the trees which hal been
made n' ailable to Lt.. this venr were
of a quantity and price which made
the establishing of nursery un-
necessary-.
The report precipitated a discus-
sion regarding the manner in
which a fence was being erected by
a ratepayer at the southerly limits
of Jarvis St., to enclose 0 lot which
was being used for the storage of
salvage material. It was explained
to .council by. Clerk Wilson that the
fence viewers were not in the posi-
tion to take action in the matter,
since their responsibility had only
to do with the assessment of costs
between adjoining property owners
and in the determining of the pro-
per location of a fence. A sugges-
tion from the Mayor that Council
give consideration to the employ-
ment of a person to look after the
dump is 'to. he investigated further.
To Ease Parking?
Councillor Sharp suggested that
consideration aright well be given
to the provision of loading areas
along Main St., because he felt that
this would eliminate a certain
amount of double parking. He told
Council that he had discussed the
matter with Chief Constable Ferris
and that he was in favor of it. It
was suggested that four loading
areas on each side might he re-
quired, but. other councillors were
of the opinion that this would re-
duce to too great an extent the
area which e as left and in which
cars could be parked. The proposal
elicited considerable discussion and
a variety of opinion, some Council-
lods feeling that the loss of park-
ing space would only aggravate the
problem rather than help it:'[there
was a 'difficulty foreseen in keep-
ing the loading areas free, although
it was pointed out that the police
would watch to see that motorists
did not remain in loading areas
longer than was necessary to
place parcels in their cars. In the
event that they persisted in stay-
ing in the areas, then tickets would
be handed out. This led to a query
as to the extent to which parking -
tickets had been served, and Clerk
Wilson informed council that al-
ready in the few weeks in which
they have been in use, some 14
Pickets had been given to motor-
ists for parking offences. One of
the difficulties, of course, in the
proposal, as Clerk Wilson pointed
out, was that a by-law would be
necessary before the enforcemelit

To Provide Flower Beds
C'ounril made a. suggestion to
Councillor Scott. chairman of the
Parks Committee, when he had
told of the work which his com-
mittee had done at. Victoria Pak,
that he investigate the possibility
of creating small flower beds at
areas along Goderich St., near Main
St., which presently are grown up
with weeds.
Reverting to streets committee,
(oirncil considered 0 further report
from Councillor Close in connec-
tion with difficulties that. were be-
ing experienced with the town
buck. The cothmittee asked that
Council give thought to the pu-
chase of a new truck. and pointed
out that it was possible to buy a
new truck, similar to that which is
presently in use. from a local deal-
er for $27 less than the wholesale
price. The difficulty with the pres-
ent truck was that it continued to
he necessary to replace axles in it.
"That arises because they are
carrying too big loads." Councillor
Christie said. "''hen the truck was
bought, it was not intended to car-
ry anything like the loads which
are being put on it." Councillor
Close said that the difficulty arose,
so garage people told him, because
the axle or housing was out of
line, and that this resulted in the
load not being distributed evenly.
"Perihaps It would be best to get
an estimate on replacing the whole
rear end." Councillor Sharp sug-
gested. No action was taken.
