Second game , .of the series will be played in Acton T,lturS- clay night with the third .game, scheduled for Seaforth next- Tuesday extTuesday night. (By F. C. J. Sills) One of the interesting'feat- ures of this Centennial year is the amount of genuinely hard .work put into research into our native history.. If you attend any of 'the local public speaking contests at the schools you will clime a- way with a fund of know- ledge on all phases of Cana- dian history and geography. It is really amazing and -'is particulary easy to absorb be- cause of so many good speak- ers. The local Legion is spon- sorring the finals and judging by the calibre .of the speakers it should prove to be very good. This will be on Tues- day, March 14th. Another event with a Cen- tennial,flavor that had a suc- cessful night, was the recent performance by the Figure Skating Club. They perform- ed well and _ should. . be con. gratulated. A coming event this Thurs. day evening is the joint cele- bration of Brotherhood Week suonsored by the .Knights of Columbus. According to chairman, Brian Flannigan, anyone wis- hing to enter the Beard Grow, it ,Contest should do so as soon as possible. if you don't wish to enter it why not get one of the Shaving. Permits. They are quite a novelty and no doubt will become an in- teresting souvenir. • The Round Dancing group is planning an evening later on in the year. They are hop- ing to- introduce some. other dances and would be inter- ested. in hearing from other groups. Maybe some .of the` local 'people from Holland, or Scotland would be inter- ested in putting on 'a .dance demonstration. If so, contact Keith. Sharpe or any of the members (-of the Round.Danc- ing group. - BRUCEFIELD The Tuckersmith Unit of the. UCW meeting was held at the home of Mrs: Elgin Thompson, with an attendance of 17., Mrs, N.
