- "Massed Bands - With almost a hundred pipers playing and the drums throbbing, these nine bands prepare to step forward for the march-past which highlighted Monday's annual Highland Games of the West Elgin Caledonia Society held on the Sons of Scotland Park at Dutton. A crowd of about 6,000 people watched as they marched the length of the Games arena. Leading the parade was Drum Major Keith Dewar of the R.C.A.F. 400 Sqdn. Band from Toronto." (3a)
- "Fanfare Opening - The Trumpet Band of the Elgin Regiment, proudly wearing the Bruce Tartan, march into the Games arena at the head of the official opening party. Having escorted Games officials to the platform, they marched to and fro across the arena, giving a fanfare opening to the games. They received a true Scots roar of welcome from the large crowd packing the wood-plank seats of the ampitheatre." (3b)
- "Up but not Over - Pipe Major Henry Brown of the Chatham Canadian Legion heaves the heavy caber into the air, but it falls without having been "tossed" in the traditional manner. Several tried to toss the caber, seeking for the $2 prize awaiting anyone who was successful. All failed." (3c)
- "Heave, Boys, Heave - Coach Gordon McWilliam urges on the Dutton and Dunwich team which beat the strong men of Arva in the tug o' war. On the rope for Dutton and Dunwich were John Hodder, Cliff Hodder, Donald Graham, Jim Reid, Bill Lynch, Bud Welch and Don Lilley. They won with two straight pulls." (3d)
- "Best Piper - William Grant, 15, of Detroit, plays his way into first place of the Individual Piping competition for those under 18 in the marches section." (3e)
