PHONE 41 Authorized as Second Class Mail ltiost Office Department Ottawa SEAPORTH, Friday, July, 15, 1955 'Neighborly News' Comes TO Seaforth Seaforth will be honored on Sun- iday, July 31, when the popular C.B.C. weekly feature, "Neighborly News," WI originate from the stage of Sea - forth District High School. Started as an experiment by the ilaB.C. on January 7, 1940, in coop- eration with the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association, Neighbor- ly News, the Sunday morning pro- gram that broadcasts human inter- st items from the rural scene, made an immediate hit with Ontario lis- teners. So much so, that the initial series was extended to Quebec, and then regional series were started in other parts of the country Commentator for the first series was Andy Clarke, whose cracker-. barrel comments and friendly man- lier contributed considerably to the program's success and soon earned him the title of "Mayor of the Little Places". Upon his death in May, 1948, Don Fairbairn, who had taken Andy's place during his illness, be- ame the new Neighborly News com- • mentator. Since its inception, ' the program has had C.B.C.'s Reid For - see in the producer's chair. Each week Mr. Faidbairn pores •,over 200 Ontario and Quebec week - y newspapers, seeking the interest- • ing and unusual happenings of the 'important centres that lie outside the big cities." With the accent on human interest, these s -items may vary from the story of a villager get- ting caught in his own animal trap to a municipal election sidelight, from a report on a prize pumpkin to e, the asthmatic experience of a citi- zen, and so on. The C.B.C. each year receives - many invitations to originate the program from centres across Can- ada. That the invitation which was extended by The,, Huron Expositor and the Seaforth Reunion Associa- tion was accepted, is a particular re - Cognition of the centennial occasion which Seaforth is marking. In addition 'to Neighborly News, a special broadcast, which will take the form of a Salute to Seaforth, will ibriginate at 9:45. The public is invited to be present at the broadcast, and tickets, which are free, are available at this office. Proper Facilities Avoid Drownings The frequency with which the press of the country has had occa- , won to report drownings during re- cent weeks, and particularly during the past' week, brings' home the ex- tent to which this community has been free from fatalities of this kind. The answer, of course, is that for more than twenty years Seaforth and , district adults and children have had •- the advantage of supervised swim- ming in the Lions Park pool. Had the pool not been available during those years, there is little doubt that • $eaforth, like other centres, would itave had its share of drowriing fatalities. While the provision of a properly ervised pool is a large factor in eventing drownings, it must at the same time bevoupled with a program which Will result in those who use pool ''becorning capable swim- ." And this, too, has been pro- vided each year by the Lions Pool upwards of a hundred children are ecked out as being able to swim. It is in order that these nfacilities vital to the community can be 'tied that the Seaforth Lions t is.inviting the assistance of the blic in financing the Pa; construction thea new P 1,, at K 6 IFcji , WHAT OtHER PAPERS SAY: HITCH -HIKERS (Brandon Sun) With Summer rapidly approach- ing, the number of hitch -hikers on our highways is increasing daily. Perhaps it is time to again caution motorists of Brandon and district, although themurder of a motorist earlier this year near the city should prove warning enough. Hitch -hiking crimes have become so common that only the most bizarre get nation-wide attention. RUNNING RISKS (North Bay Nugget) The ability of the younger genera- tion to pilot bicycles at an early age is astounding. We've seen tots who aren't as high as the wheels of their own bikes zipping along the streets in great style. , Except that at times they have trouble keeping their bal- ance and steering the bike. It's fine for a tiny tike to have a bike at an early age—but sometimes it's better to wait until they are better able te balance and steer before buying them the two -wheel chariot. WHAT! COWS NEVER SLEEP? (Hamilton Spectator) We were mildly surprised the oth- er day when informed a scientist had proved that cows never sleep. In a world of electronics and hydrogen bombs this simple fact of nature is hardly likely to make the world's headlines, but it does present a ques- tion: How has it happened that this simple fact has escaped the observa- tion of farmers and cowherds for centuries so that at this late date it must become the subject of another bettle-browed scientific conclusion? Even those who have the slightest acquaintance with the habits of cows must, if they are truthful, ad- mit that they have never seen them having a good sleep. Cows chew the cud endlessly, they blink and oc- casionally their eyes close, but they never really sleep. It seems that a cow has, to make a choice between insomnia and indiges- tion, and it has chosen insomnia. Per- haps scientists will now discover a method of giving cows a good night's sleep. It might make new animals of them. HAYING THE MODERN WAY (Ottawa Journal) It's still Only June but already hay. ing is in full swing on Ottawa dis- trict farms—not the old-style hay- ing where the golden grass was cut, dried and "made" and when a heavy rain was almost a calamity for the farmer. But haying new -style where the grass is cut green and handled in an entirely different way. This new -sort of haying season is one of the many great chadges that have taken place on districts farms in re- cent years. Farmers call this new -style hay feed grass silage and start to- cut the first crop early in June. Some of them take three crops off a year; others cut the first crop and put the . 'dairy herd out to pasture on the same fields. Instead of putting the hay loose into huge mows in the tradi- tional manner of dry hay, they pack this green hay, often wet, into silos or simply put it into ground trench- es and pack it well. Handling hay in this new manner can he a costly business for a farm- er. On a farm near the outskirts of the city a few days ago, any passing city motorists'might well have been bewildered by the array of machin- ery in evidence on a 20 -acre field of what looked like ordinary good clov- er hay still green. There were three tractors, two large wagons on rub- ber and with high sides, a mower, side -delivery rake which tosses the hay about and leaves it in neat rows, and finally an ingenious machine ' which picks up the hay, cuts or chops it into short pieces and blows it intii the big wagons that move alongside. Back at the barn there was either another motor and blower to elevate the chopped 'grass into the silo or a heavy tractor to press it in 'the trench. All this, $20,000 or more in mach- inery just to make good cattle feed • for next winter. It's a far cry from • the traditional hay -making where- - • only 'a wagon, a team of horses, a mower and many willing hands were required for one .df the ,Most com- mon farm summer chores, Afd " dd, s df 4,1?#14404 • lit V' AK difit& . *1. -.14A.0 tip ICiEAFOTN �. JULY 30111 to AU UST 3rd Optimistic outlooks for the Spa - forth Old Boys' Reunion are held by the citizens of Seaforth. As the celebration approaches, interest of district residents is becoming in- tensified. One of •the main reasons Sea - forth citizens are becoming aware that festivities are only three short weeks away, is the carnival ap- pearance of Main Street at night. This week the Public Utilities Com- mission hung forty -strings of ,col- ored lights \along the town's main thoroughfare. Decoration's A member of the reunion decor- ation committee, Gordon Wright, said colorful decorations support- ing "Welcome" signs will be er- ected'shortly at the four entrances of the town. They are of an arch - type arrangement, which the dec- oration committee believes will be bright and original. "I think everything can be a terrific deal if people co-operate," said Mr. Wright. "If the people don't co-operate and get down to brass tacks right away — watch out." More people should be decorat- ing and participating in the re- union develodnients, the decorat- ing official stated. Citizens have good ideas, but the decoration committee feels the people are hesitant about carrying them out. "One thing I hope they do is to improve the conditions at the fair grounds," said Mr. Wright. With good co-operation, Mr. Wright is looking forward to a successful reunion. He says he can remember coming to town with his father in a horse and buggy for the last reunion in 1924. At that time festivities were "really moving." Meet Old Friends ."The reunion will give an op- portunity for people to get togeth- er, who haven't met for a good many years," said Town Clerk D. H. Wilson. "I have found a very enthusiastic feeling with the people with whom I have been talking. ' Slowly turning through an old book showing the town of Seaforth over 50 years ago, the Clerk said people who are coming back will see some old familiar faces -and sights that will remind them of their early years in the "old town." Rebelling past reunions, Mr. Wilson says he is looking forward to a good time within the next three weeks. "If it is like the last one, I had to sleep on the veranda. There wasn't ans, room in the house," ss said the Town Clerk. Good Program "I think they have concocted a remarkably full program," said James R. Scott. "It should keep everybody busy. But I think what's going to bring people back to Seaforth—and they're going to come—is the desire to come home again; to see -the things and peo- ple they used to know." A large-scale program isn't the main thing which will bring the people back; it is the idea of com- ing home. If the 'Return of the Native' idea is held by the people across the country, "we will have a bang-up reunion," said the Sea - forth native. One thing Mr. Scott said he would like to see in the program was a quiet meeting place, such as Victoria Park, where old friends could just sit around and talk. "To top it off, a free cup of coffee , would add the proper touch," said Mr. Scott. Provincial Police Officer Hel- mer Snell said he thought the re- union program looked well ar- ranged. Although he was going to he on holidays for a few weeks before the Old Boys, Mr. Snell said he certainly wanted to be back to see all his old friends. Indicating the wide interest I which ' the Seaforth Reunion is arousing is a letter received this week by Scott Habkirk, from Lt. - Col. John C. Habkirk,' of Hamil- ton. Col. Habkirk says: "Seeing you have the same name as myself, I thought I would write you instead of some other member of the committee. I have received a little information; via Honolulu, in reference to 'the Sea - forth Old Boys' Reunion, -but I would like to know something more about it, in the event that it might be possible for me to attend, so if you would pass this letter on to someone who could give me the information desired, I would be glad. "By this time you may be won- dering who I am, as I have been wondering what branch of the flab - kirk tree you belong to. Well, my father was John Habkirk and my mother was Mary Cowan, sister of Jim Cowan, who farmed close to Seaforth for years. I was born on the old Hahkirk farm, one and a half miles north of Seaforth, la 1873. I went to school in Seaforth and learned the printing trade on The Huron Expositor, when M. Y. McLean was living. I became an officer in the Salvation Army and have not been back to Seaforth •'very much for many years.J am retired now and living at present with my daughter in Hamilton, as Mrs. Habkirk has been very poor- ly for some, time. "When I heard there was to be an Old Boys' eunion, I thought' it might be nice if I could run up for two or three days, hence my request ddr further information. I would like to know what arrange- ments are being made for accom- modation, etc., etc. Then, of course, it would be nice to renew some old friendships° and, if pos- sible, meet' some of my relatives." $ $ Dr. George E. Rogers, of 105 West McDowell Road, Phoenix, Arizona, and a son of a former principal of the Seaforth Collegi- ate Institute, had planned to re-, •turn for the Rdnlon, but because of the illness of hi wife, finds this will not be possible. In express- ing his regrets, he sends along a picture of the parade during the 1944 Old Boys'. The picture shows a float which had been prepared by his aunt, the former sQrace E. Stevens, and on which he is a passenger. $ $ There continues to be a require- ment for accommodation for visi- tors expected during ,the Reunion. The billeting committee, headed by 13_ F. Christie, is seeking rooms which will be available during the reunion period. Citizens who have accommodation available are ask- ed to get in touch with Mr. Chris- tie as soon- as possible. t Writing from Edmonton, Mrs. Irene Farquharson Laubman, of 11749 — 90th St. says: "I was indbed very pleased to receive an invitation to the Reunion. How I wish I, could got Although I was nine years old when I left there, I still think of my many school friends I left behind, and would like to return to see the changes that have taken place." Mrs. Laubman goes on to ask that an invitation go forward to another Seaforth resident, Miss Mary McGregor, of 10650 — 78th Ave., Edmonton, Alta. Mrs. Laub - man and Miss MacGregor attend- ed school together in Seaforth in 1908, she says. r Despite the fact she is in her 98th year, Mrs. Etta Dunsmore Lawrence writes about the reun- ion. In her, letter she says: "I am pleased indeed that my name was given in by some un- known friends, ass I would not have heard of the celebration. Now I will have something to think and talk about, but will not be one of the happy crowcl'as I have reach- ed the advanced hge of 971/2 years —born in 1858. But I am an old resident of the Mill Road and knew Seaforth and spent many years there, till I left for my home near Sarnia. I am sure there is no friends left now to greet the Ella Dunsmore who left the dear old home and friends 66 years ago. All are .gone. Of my own family, my brother, Bob Dunsmore, is not well enough to travel, but I know would love to. I hopedthe weather is fine and, a happy time spent by all, and my thanks for being invited."

From The Enron Expositor • July 18, 1930 ' Mr. and Mrs. William Somer- ville, of Toronto, spent the week- end with relatives here. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Burrows, of Toronto, spent a few holidays last week at the home of his par- ents, Dr. and Mrs. F. J. Burrows. Dr. Fred Clarkson, of Toronto, was the weekend guest at the hoine of Mrs. G. D. Ferguson. Miss Irene Patterson, of Leth- bridge, is spending a few weeks at the home of Mrs. J. Patterson. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Stark, of Welland, spent the weekend with Mr. Stark's another, Mrs. A. Stark. Mr, Arthur Edmunds, of the Dominion Bank staff, is spending his holidays in Toronto. To the stern tunes of fife and drum, members of the Orange Lodges of Huron and Perth Coun- ties invaded Bayfield on Satur- day. It was the 'Glorious Twelth" and they came, young and old, from- far and wide, to .celebrate. There has beer in this district few commemorations of the Bat- tle of the' Boyne to surpass it. All morning' long, cars were coming on the by -roads and the highways. Shortly afternoon there was esti- mated more than 5,000 people in the village park. The occasion, besides being the 240th annivers- ary of the Battle of the Boyne, was the centenary of Orangeism in Canada. Proceedings were com- menced with a gigantic parade of all lodge members, with the band of the Seaforth Kilties and the Clinton Band, as well as many fife and drum bands. Lodges present included members of Stratford, Mitchell, Seaforth, Winthrop, Wal- ton, Bayfield, Varna, Greenway, Exeter, Lucan, Goderich, Watburg, Hibbert, Clinton and Monkton. A total of 28 ledges were present. • From The Huron Expositor July 14, 1905 Accepting the very kind of invi- tation of Mr. Hugh McMillan, of the ninth concession of Tucker - smith, a representative of The Huron Expositor attended the rais- ing of the frame of 'his new barn on Thursday afternoon of last week. Mr. McMillan has a fine farm of 200 acres on that line, which now is one of the best fuo- ing districts in the banner two - ship of Tuckersmith. There is stone F tabling under the whole building. To frame the timbers for a building this size requires a good bead. The timbers, are taken in the rough. and are laid out, saw- ed up and moistened so that when they come to be placed in the building several pieces fit togeth- er, ,each in its place as accurately as if the plan had been drawn up on paper beforehand, and the place of each timber marked. Quite a • large number from Hensall and vicinity took advant- age of the cheap excursion to Goderieh last week. At the regular meeting of Sea - forth Town Council last Monday evening, Mr. F. Holmedtead, on behalf of the residents of Harpur- hey, made written application for a grant to assist in the construc- tion of a cement sidewalk from the town limits west. A sum of $10 was granted. The Huron Old Boys of Toronto turned out to -their old homes in good. number on Saturday. The Toronto-Goderich train consisted of two engines and 10 cars. The cars were all filled, but each car Was relieved of a considerable number at the various stations they passed. Mr. Joseph Waters, one of the prosperous young farmers of Hib- bert, has taken for his wife one of Tuckeramith's' fairest daugh- ters, in the person of Miss Mary Williams. , ' _ • From The Huron Expositor 'July 16, 1880 - The Beaver Lacrosse Club of Seaforth went to Stratford nn Monday and succeeded in giving the club of that place a drubning to the tune of three goals to one. The Beaver Club is one •]f the best in Western Ontario, and is composed of active and enduring young men which in a great mea- sure accounts for their success this season, as well as last. • The members of St. James' Catholic Church, Seaforth, intend erecting a new residence for their pastor on the lot in the rear of the church. The bricks are now being laid on the ground. The new Presbyterian manse is now nearly completed in Seaforth. The minister with his family now netupy the handsome edifice. May he be long spared to enjoy this comfort. The Seaforth Cricket Club is in a good sound basis this season and, can place a strong eleven in the fieM. The setrietary, Mr. BrencliL has been endeavoring to arrange. matches with a number of clubs, but apparently without much success. The crops, but more especially the fall wheat in this district, promises an abundant yield ^this season, and many farmers of the Parr Line have visions of 50 bush- els per acre, but, of course, they can not- make any accurate esti- mate until threshing time coin- mences. Arrangements are now complet- ed for the celebration in Seaforth on Tuesday, when the occasion df the formal opening of the new wi- terworks takes place. Several pre- lithinary tests of the Works have • already been made and they werk- ed admirably.
