SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, JULY 1`3, 1967
Let's Be Positive—Talk Of Advantages
References which members of coun-
cil made at a recent meeting to the
role which the average _citizen can
play in advancing the _interests of the
town make sense. '
An industrial commissioner from a
neighboring city was a recent visitor
and while here made queries of people
he met oh Main Street . as to local
points of interest. _The .answers he re- •
ceived he later told a councillor,
were completely negative — they em-
phasized the faults, ignored the good
features. Rather than encouraging a
visitor to think well of the town they
suggested that' everything was wrong.
It is remarkable how often first im-
pressions are'lasting impressions. When
a visitor is greeted with a surly, down
at the mouth reply to a question, his
impression of Seaforth is not one that
that will help the town.
Certainly Seaforth has problems and'
is • lacking facilities. in some areas, as
also are most towns across .the coun- '
try. But far outweighing these " few
shortages are features which many
towns would be proud to possess. We
have a fine Main Street,- attractive
homes,good schools. We have park and
recreational facilities , second- to none
and a hospital as modern and as attrac-
tive as any in Ontario. We are serving
as fertile an agricultural district as can
be found anywhere.
Nobody in Seaforth need feel any in-
feriorty complex concerning the town,
Lets be positive — lets take every op-
portunity we can .find . to talk about the,
town and its advantages.

Don't tell,me there aren't
any creative riters..& i Canada.
The country is crawling with
them. More than 100 entries
for the -Smiley's-to-Expo' guest
column have arrived and' they
are . still pouring in.
My wife thought all along it

project, or as she put it,' `'a
John Maloney Took Pride In His Work dumb ideal", and 1:'m beginning
to agree with her. One of the
chief hitches, is that I forgot to
organize some judges. So I'm
it.
- So, first of all, I must read
them all, some. twice, some
thrice. This is going •to :absorb
about 100 hours; and the whole
idea in the first place 'was that
I'd get a holiday. Something
wrong there, somewhere. '
' Secondly, all those who don't
win, along with their families
and friends, are going to hate
me. for life. It's"easy enough to
make enemies without deliber-
ately alienating about. . 2,000
people.
The death this • week of John . J. Ma-
loney removed one who for forty six
years was a loyal and valued member
of the Expositor staff. .
Mr. Maloney began• his career here
On -leaving school. He operated a lino -
type and to his exacting trade brought
a degree of accuracy and careful at-
• tention to detail which through the
years was a source of great pride to
him. He was reserved almost to the
point .of reticence in the eyes of those
who did not know him well. At the
same time he had a rare sense of quiet
humor which was a continuing delight
to his mahy_ friends who now mourn
his death.
Ideas ' Can Produce Savings
Even in this highly specialized age,
the ability, of ' individual employees
within industry to contribute useful,
cost-cutting ideas should not be under-
estimated.
The most recent example is
that of a body layout man at a Michi-
gan car plant. Withii`i-the past year he
has. won three new cars and three sep-
arate cheques for $6,000 each for his
suggested ,.improvements in car assem-
bly operations. In eight years with the
company he has won a total of $32,000.
None of these ideas were in the
genius class. Most were quite modest
and simple of execution., But all of them
had one thing in common : ' they im-
proved efficiency. And each began with
the thought: "Suppose were were to . "

The entries vary in many

glad. • The Toronto Telegram
News Service, has kicked in an-
other $25: .and a lot of people
have had a lot of fun taking a
whack at writing a column. ,•
And I shouldn't complain
about its being work. It's -fun.
Especially delightful 'it the
fantastic variety of both wri-
ers,, farm wives,. students -and
grandmothers: ' Some people
submitted as many ' as three
columns. Some are ungrammat-
ical and hilarious. Others use
impeccable English, but are
dull. Some are religious, others
ribald.

Deer vents his dislike of teach-
ers in no uncertain way: A
former 'student of mine (Hi

entry consists of his first letter
home from a lad serving in Viet
Nam. -
And they come from all over
the country, which makes this
thing a 'real' centennial kick.
Put them all together and you'd
have .a book. It would be rag-
gedly and uneven, but interest-
ing, and would present a pretty
good idea of what Canada acid
Canadians are' really like.
Trouble is, so many of the
columns are so good' that' I'm
in a quandary, right up to my
navel. I started to make two
• piles: the good ones -and the re-
jects.' The pile of rejects is two
inches high, -the---other, one two

do would be to write a guest

declare it the winner. It would
