He was comment - i�r-th -&- -uth Road Possibility in '60 The road from Kippen to .Brus- sels through Seaforth, ,as a devel- opment road, is still a possibility this year, although no reference was made to it when Department of Highways estimates were intro- duced in the Legislature on Tues' - day. J. W. Britnell, Huron County en; gineer, said the county is seeking funds to complete construction of the development road running east fo Walton, which has been under way for .some time. It is expect- ed a meeting will be held at an early date with provincial officials in an effort to complete these ar- rangements, and when this has been done approval will be sought for the Kippen-Brussels roads, so that preliminary work can be started. In�igcussing his estimates, the Minister of Highways referred to development roads. He pointed out that the department is again pro- viding funds for development roads which have been designated be- cause df their special importance to a local area or to the general public. While construction of these roads may be done by the depart- ment or the municipality, the en- tire cost is paid . by , the depart- ment and the roads revert to the munieirality for future mainten- ance. The estimates provided for main- tenance and new construction as- eistance in the county and in area nalnicipalities are as follows:' =1pdy1illfhixip' ladVei::i bra..tAid 3C QDASIiN for area hockey kids when Members bf the S eaforth Legion were boa ts at an awards dinner Saturday night. nloRt. ~ollowinseriesoguttYes the players were pieSeni:d With their trophies.

Press reports had indicated that both Seaforth and Clinton were dependent on votes, and confused the_May 11 vote here on licenced premises with a 'vote to -repeal local option.

To Build Stores Hundreds of area residents will receive Easter Seals in the' mail during the next few days. The seals are an invitation to help in cripfiel children's work.

Easter Seal Campaign means hope. Tothem the Easter Seals bring treatment and training, a possibil- ity of independence and a relief from the physical handicaps that birth, illness or accident have left them. Last year the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, whose. only annual appeal for funds is made in the .Easter' Seal campaign by 222, service clubs, carried out its biggest program in all its history. This year, the more than 14,000 youngsters who are listed 'on the' society's rolls as "active" cases will have increased because On- tario's swiftly growing population means hundreds of new cases each year. The provincial objective of this year's Easter Seal -campaign, March 17 to April 17, is $850,00: ..Small Organization;••• The organization that Dares for this number of children is amaz- ingly small; .a tightly knit office staff at headquarters, in Toronto; a score. of highly trained' nurses; a cote of volunteer doctors, and an army of public spirited citi- zens' who 'give freely of their time. The °result is .a volume of service out of all proportion to the money spent in the work. This work takes several forms.

Campaigns will be conducted in all Huron municipalities during April. A house-to-house canvass will be staged in Seaforth, McKillop and Tuckersmith from April 18,23 by members of the local branch, ac- cording to branch president John W. Talbot. Unit campaign chairman R. E. Pooley, Exeter, has announced this breakdown of the county objec- tive: Goderich, $4,000; Exeter, $3,- 500; Clinton, $2,500; Seaforth, $2,- 000; Wingham, $2,000; Blyth, $1,000. Funds raised in Huron are used to finance three important, pha es of cancer work: research, Welfare services and education. During 1959, over $2,500 was spent to provide vital services to. patients in Huron. These in- cluded dressings, transportation and boarding room care for clinic patients, nursing services, pain -re- lieving drugs and other essentials. The unit spent $750 on its, educa- tion program, designed to make Huron citizens aware .of the dan- ger signals of cancer. This is a vital phase of the unit's activities because much of the suffering from cancer can be avoided if the is diagnosed in its early stages. In 1959, Huron unit for- warded $13,000 to provincial head- quarters to help finance extensive research projects. Some of the ,most encouraging of these are be-, ing conducted' by ufiiversity sci- entists at London. "Through their generous support of our campaign in recent years, the•people of Huron are playing an effective part in the battle 4o con- quer one of the most tragic dis- eases ofi our time," states Mrs. Kenneth Johns, *oodham, unit president. "We need continued support to meet our new objective which will ensure that the fight against cancer will be maintained at full morhentum. Besides causing great suffering and economic t hardship, cancer each year takes the lives of more than 22,000 Canadians.

W. H. Collings,. chairman of the Liquor Board, told the. Legislature on Thursday that two stores would be built in Huron - County. The largest of these, cost- ing $10,000, is tdbe built at Gode•I rich. A' 'second store, to be built at Exeter, will cost $50,000.

"We have a little more than $1,000 in now," Mr. Stevens said.
