Lions Carnival
For three months every year resi-
dents of Seaforth and the district round
about, singlyalzid by the hundreds, visit
the Lions Park and take advantage of
the swimming pool and picnic facili-
ties that exist there.
Use of the park continues day in and
day out during the summer months, and
by this rise the public indicate that the
park is appreciated. But there is a
special time during these months When
this appreciation can be shown in a
more tangible fashion. This time—an-
nual Summer Carnival time—is now
at hand.
This year the dates of the carnival
have been advanced to over the July
let holiday—Wednesday, June 30th,
and Thursday and Friday, July 1st and,
2nd, with special emphasis being plac-
ed on the July lst .holiday, with both
afternoon and evening programs.
Merits Support
It is during these three days and in
the days between now and the carnival
that the public has the opportunity of
co-operating with the Lions Club in
the work it is doing.
During recent years increasing costs
of everything that goes into the• main-
tenance and operation of Seaf *th Lions
Park have made more difficult the task
of the Lions Club. So it becomes in-
creasingly important that there be a
large measure of supportby the pub-
lic. Only in this way can the standard
of mai tenance, which has been a fea-
ture o the Park for so many years, be
maintained.
'To- make public participation easy,
Lions plan a canvass of the town next
Monday evening. They will offer for
sale carnival admission tickets, and
each ticket includes the opportunity to
win a top award of $1,000.
June Recalls Dairy Contribution
In saluting the dairyindustry dur-
ing June, recognition is being given a
farm producer group that countrywide
is.. making a major contribution to the
Canadian economy.° The economy of
Huron County particularly, depends to
• a great degree on the dairy industry.
The Dairy Month program is an in-
dication, too, of the extent to which
farm commodity groups are capable of
self help. The dairy farmers of Canada
must be commended for the enterprise
they have shown in organizing what
has become an annual dairy festival.
When you buy dairy foods you help
provide income for the dairy farmer,
and for more, than two .million other

OTTAWA—There is feuding
• and fighting between the fed-
eral Liberal government and
Premier Ross Thatcher of Sas-
katchewan.
The Liberal 'Premier of the
Prairie province is unhappy
with the brand of Liberalism
that his colleagues in Ottawa
are selling to the Canadian peo-
ple. He contends it borders on
socialism.

of the CCF party. quite the

free enterprise. He is a private
enterpriser and as such he set

government in North America,

-brought an equally tough re-

and they apparently did not get
along. Now they do not see
each other, at least efforts are
made to keep them from meet-
ing.
Spokesmen for Mr. Hays con-
tend the difference developed
because the Premier wanted a
section of the' road built that
Mr. Hays refused to authorize.
They also claim 'that the Pre-
mier wanted certain appoint-
ments made to the Prairie
Farm Assistance Administra-
tion. Mr. Hays said '"no".

The Saskatchewan Premier is
disillusioned. He worries that
if the Federal. Liberalscarry
on with the policies they have
put forward that they will an-

now he thinks the Federal Lib-

concerned, he has made such

This is a time of year when to work in the supermarket;

'car over twice and gets in fights
on weekends, and has narrow-
ly avoided jail; and John, the
poet, who is still, trying to get
people to form a picket line
because the principal won't let
him grow a beard.
I've been teaching for five
years now. And I haven't• many
illusions. I am not "dedicated."
I don't go around talking about
the joy of,"seeing young minds
flower." Heck, anything will
flower if you throw enough fer-
tilizer ,around.
But there's a special satisfac-
tion in teaching teenagers, even
though it's tougher than work-
ing in a salt ,thine. There is -a
sense of reality that I don't
think I could find in another
profession. '
You are not dealing with
torts and trials, like the lawyer;
not symptoms and cures, like
the doctor; nor surveys and
stresses, like the engineer; nor
goods and services, like the
businessman. You are dealing
in raw humanity, when you
tangle with teenagers.
Sorry .for being sentimental
this week. .But today my home
form gave me my present for
the year, half -a -dollar a whack,
and I'm still a bit misty -eyed.
It's a desk set with two pens,
my name inscribed, and a ther-
mometer in it that doesn't work.
That's better than last year'
when I got a shirt that didn't
fit, and the year before, when -.
I got talcum powder, shaving
lotion and other assorted male

tions. One of the strongest—let
us" be honest—is relief. As end
of term nears, the overwhel
ing certainty that you are go -
ing to have a stroke, or start
running straight up the wall,
or burst into tears in front of
the class, begins to fade.
But there are other feelings
involved, and the combination
of emotions results in a bitter-
sweet contradiction: you're glad
it's over, but you hate to see
it end.
This is, stronger, I think, for
the teacher of a class which is
graduating. Whether it's from
public school or high school,
that last class is a bit of a
crusher, sentimentally.
Some of these kids you have
taught for four years. They
are almost like members of
your family: irritating and lov-
able; friendly and sullen; pret-
ty and homely; real people, not
statistics.
Here is Janet, the girl who
was- such a gawk in Grade 10.
She was angular and awkward;
she always had a cold; she
wore braces on her teeth; she
despised boys; she wanted to
be a missionary in Africa.
And look at her now, grin-
ning up at you on the last
day^with those two pearly rows.
She's built like Bardot; she has
poise and she loves boys; and
she's off to take a course in
modeling.

Sir: I read with much inter-

I wonder if your readers know
that last year two of the mem-
bers of the Tuckersmith- School
Board of Area One introduced
the idea of sending the chil-
dren of S.S'. 1, S.S. 2, and S.S.
10 into Hensall to school. Those
from S.S.-4 were to go to Clin-
ton, and those from S.S. 5; 7,
8 and 9 were to go to,Seaforth?
These two members of -the
Board—onerwas from S.S. 8
and one from S.S. 10—had, if
my memory is correct, the idea
squashed by the Council of the--
Township of Tuckersmith..
