Hats Make it ' a Real Celebration
Months of preparation will culmin-
ate Monday when Seaforth salutes Can-
ada's hundredth birthday.
While the _program is crowded into
one day the fact the occasion coincides
with the Labor Day holiday .will mean
that many former residents will 'be able
to take part. _ Already there are indica-
tions -that many from a wide area are
planning to take advantage of the holi-
day weekend ''to visit their old hofne
town.
Probably the highlight of the day will- .
be the parade scheduled to get under-
way at two o'clock. Seaforth over the
years has established a reputation -for
outstanding parades and from every
indication the production here Monday
.will enhance that reputation.
Of equal interest will be the official
Who Pays for
Every once in a while somebody who
ought to know better comes up with the
dream of a newspaper without adver-
tising
The Pietou Advocate -recalls in a re-
cent editorial that once the most sophis-
ticated city in North America, New
Yro , had this dread n come true. In
1939 Ralph Ingersoll brought out a tab-
loid� paper, PM, that had not a line of -
advertising in it. It cost a little more,
it was worth every penny of it and
some of the best writers in:America
wrote for it. Realizing that the public
do look to .newspapers for information
to help them shop, PM ,ran an excel-
lent column for consumers. It ferreted
out bargains, pin 'pointed value, and
.gave a yardstick against which to shop.
It had a faithful, enchanted following.
and it failed, despite heavy subsidizating
to get it on its feet.

The spirit of the old-time
farm, bee was demonstrated in
a new form when Messrs. Isaae
Hudson, Bev. Christie, Robert)
Eberhart, Dick Box, George
Munro, Jim Bristow and Peter
Peterson drove out to the farm
of Mr. John McGavin to lend
a helping handwith the harvest:
Mr.. McGavin had broken a bone
in his hand and he was .both
surprised and grateful when
the town gang showed up.
Kenneth Thornton, aged 24,
Walton, was almost instany
killed when the full force of
2,300 volts from "a hydro rural
line passed through 'his body.
The first frost of the season
made its appearance. There was
quite , a coating .of . white on the
ground but reports show :no
damage done.
While Foster Bennett was
loading bread he slipped he- -
tween ,the bumper -and car and
received a Maly bruised leg and
also a ruptured. blood vein.
A few days- later, • his' little
son, Billie, slipped off the front
of the truck and received a bad
gash, .b-elow the knee, which re-

wound., While Larry Eaton and

Mr. Otto Walker and family
of Cromarty have moved from.

the village.
While Mr. Charles of Zurich
was taking his daily drive
southeast..of. the village, he was
delighted to 'see four ;deer in

exhausting and expensive. It's
got everything from Saturday
night in Hayfork Centre to a

It's true that the line-ups are
long' at some of the pavilions,
but you can easily get around
this. Some people put' on a
walking cast and are ushered
to the 'head of the line. Others
use a wheel -chair. Or. you can
buy a sailor suit. Visiting sail-
, ors march straight to the head

One chap I -know spent two__
hours in a line-up with no
.strain at all. He was organized.
He set up his folding stool„ at,
down, put on .dark glasses to
make hint think he was in a
bar, and opened the quart -size
therms of , ice-cold martinis
which he had .prudently brought
along.- All about him people
were cursing, fainting and wish-
° •ing they were home in bet He
'killed the-. fluart and never did
make the pavilion, but he made
a, lot of life-long friends when
he shared his p'otiop and still

One thing you can say about,
Expo is that nowhere in the
-world can you get so much for
so little. And so little for so
much. The first applies to all
the wonderful free entertain-
ment, the sights and sounds.
The second applies to Iigvici
refreshment.
Many people feel it's 'a great
pity that these magnificent
buildings should simply be de-
molished when the fair ends.
'Sonia' think it would make a
fine university. Others believe
it could become a great inter-
national centre for the exchange
of ideas and -cultures°' Some-
thing like "the United Nations,

back -stabbing.

agination and guts to create

they don't take it away until

It's rather amusing to have
people wha have' never seen
anything bigger than the coun-
ty fair dismissing the Russian
pavilion as "brittle" or "pon-
derous," or praising the Brit:
i'sh pavilion as "subtle" or
"Wonderfully understated."
They've picked up these ex-
pressions from the critics and
are going to use them even if
it makes you throw up.
Everything we've heard about
it has been contradictory,
from the availability of' lav-
atories
avatories to the price of meals.
However, that's life, that's'peo-
ple, and that's probably Expo.
Today we leave. We're all
set. My wife hasn't slept for
two nights and -has.a blister `on

I have a vicious corn on the

that. It's the spirit that counts.

hand to his breast and fell -ov-
