C. Cardno reviewed the financial picture for the year. Committees at the end of No- vember had underspent $9,901 as in relation to the budget. He warned the surplus would not necessarily be in cash, but could be represented by. arrears of taxes. Referring to a visit members of council had made to Fry Metal Industries Ltd., Council- lor Cardno said how interest- ing he had found the experi- ence. Mayor Daly agreed, and wondered whether similar vis- its to other industries would be equally helpful. Reporting for the fire and water committee, chairman Jno. Flannery said expenses had been exceptionally low during the year. Council approved an increase in grant to the brigade based on $100 per man. There are 15 men on strength at the present time. The rural truck had been ov- erhauled and this would be re- flected in a somewhat higher rural cost this year. The total to be recovered for the year was $738.84, he said. Councillor Thorpe Rivers, chairman of the street com- mittee, reviewed work which had been completed; 15 trees had been cut down and others trimmed; sand and salt were stockpiled, and snowplows were ready for work. He said sanding at intersec- tions and stop streets would be carried out when required. Councillor Cardno noted that. the report was the last Coun.- ci,(lor Rivers would present, fn view. of his pending retirement, and complimented him on the way he had handled a difficult task. Council approved immediate provision of a fire escape to the third floor of the Town Hall, after property chairman Neil Bell reported cost at $159. If it was necessary to continue the escape to the ground, the cost would be $729. Council agreed only the first stage was needed, since ample opportun- ity existed for escape from a large ground floor roof. The property committee was instructed to provide estimates on the cost of re -wiring the third floor, and to have leaks in the roof repaired. Meet Police Mayor Daly told council the police committee had a meet- ing with the Chief of Police and that council proposals were submitted. There had been a helpful discussion, he said, in which the average of prevail- ing salaries in towns compar- able to Seaforth had been in- dicated. Referring to matters that will concern next year's council, Mayor Daly said consideration was being given to the revision of standing by-laws, so that they would represent more nearly conditions as exist to- day. He suggested Seaforth would be entitled to a deputy - reeve in 1962 if the present trend continued. In checking on grants available to the town, he had found several areas in which a change in approach could produce additional rev- enue. Before adjournment, council -joined in paying tribute to Councillors J. 0. Turnbull and Thorpe Rivers, who were retir- ing after five years' service on council. An Irishman was telling a friend of his narrow escape in wartime. "The bullet went in me chest and came out me back," he said. "But," protested his friend, it would have gone through your heart and killed you." "Me heart was in me mouth at the time." Bald eagles are so named be- cause of the effect of the white feathers on their heads.

FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE URGES FARM MACHINERY ACT A request for a farm machin- ery act for Ontario was raised at the 25th annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture in Toronto last week. If such an act is developed by the provincial government it will be the fourth farm ma- chinery act in Canada. Alber- ta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba already have farm machinery acts. The difficulty many farm- ers have had recently in On- tario of getting spare parts, ev- en at main distributing centres, prompted OFA delegates to make their move. The last session of the con- vention was a race against time in order to get through the gigantic task of deliberating on more than 60 resolutions. As it turned out, a number had to be referred to future members meetings, but 49 resolutions did receive the serious attention of the representatives from farm organizations throughout On- tario. One of the most far-reaching resolutions to be passed dealt with rehabilitation and resource development, a direct reference to the Agricultural Rehabilita- tion and Development Act. The OFA resolution called for full provincial government partici- pation in such a program, and asked OFA to establish a spe- cial committee to work on the program also. L. E. Cardiff, MP for Huron County and parliamentary sec- retary to the Hon, Alvin Ham- ilton, read an address of the Minister of Agriculture. Other resolutions of import- ance were passed and included: a request for enforcement of the legislation requiring bills of lading when transportin stock; a request to have the fi- nancial security of community livestock sales barns increased to protect consignors of live- stock; the OFA to continue to support the further develop- ment of marketing boards in all provinces and national mar- keting boards where desirable; the development of co-opera- tives for marketing and process- ing of farm produce and for purchasing and manufacturing of supplies used on the farm; greater study of producing agri- cultural products for the known market by contracts, quotas controlled by farmer marketing hoards, and production of qual- ity and kind of product desired by the consumer. The OFA was also asked to support flexible government price supports de- signed to meet emergencies and to give stability by prevent- ing collapse of price. Two resolutions were discuss- ed that are of importance to the OFA as an organization. One, dealing with direct mem- bers, stirred delegates to an hour-long debate before it was referred to the OFA Board of Governors. The second asked the Federation of Agriculture to take steps to bring agricul- ture in Canada under one unit- ed and strong organization to speak with one voice, and fur- ther requested all farm organ- izations and commodity groups to work to this end. The 25th annual convention was an historic one for the OFA in that it marked a silver an- niversary of service to farmers in Ontario. Re-elect A. H. Daynard William G. Tilden, Harriston district farmer, was re-elected for a second consecutive term as president. Besides Mr. Tilden, members of the executive committee to be re-elected are: A. H. K. Musgrave, Clarksburg, first vice- president; Charles Huffman, Harrow, second vice-president; and committee members J. A. Ferguson, St. Thomas; Len Laventure, Glasgow Station, and Charles Munro, Embro. Mr. Gordon Greer, of Ottawa, re- tnains as past president of the OVA, These men are elected to the 29 -member Board of Governors of the OFA. The other gover nors are: A. H. Daynard, Staf- fa; Larry Doble, Uxbridge; R. R. Stewart, Peterborough; W. D. MacLeod, Dalkeith; Wilfred Joyce, Meldrum Bay; Louis Davis, Owen Sound; Ben Steers, Bradford; R. 0. Hardick, Sar- nia; J.

Han- nam, Ottawa. Advocates Fixed Rate A fixed exchange basis for the Canadian dollar was advo- cated by A. T. Lambert, presi- dent of The Toronto -Dominion Bank, in his address to share- holders Tuesday. He suggested a range within which the rate would be per- mitted to operate freely, for example, 94 to 96 cents in U.S. funds, with intervention by the authorities only taking place when the rate threatens to move through either limit. However, Mr. Lambert ad- mitted that it is as yet too early to say just what level is appropriate but he contended that the Canadian dollar has been overvalued in recent years. "A fixed -,ate would permit Canadian producers to plan d, to develop domestic sources of supply and to quote firm prices without the risk that an unforeseen shift in the exchange market might under- mine their operations, "Canada," he said, "has not embarked on a series of de- valuations designed to bring unfair advantage to Canadian producers but is simply en- deavouring to achieve a foreign exchange value for the dollar which is compatible with Can- ada's economic position. "The failure of the Canadian economy to achieve a satisfac- tory rate of growth iecent years requires searching exam- ination by all sections of the community," he said. "It would be wrong for us to allow disap- pointments, bred of failing short of our expectations, to lead to discouragement. Achieving a satisfactory growth rate is a challenge to which we should direct our efforts with enthusi- asm and energy. This cannot be done merely as a result of ef- forts and actions in the public sector. Confidence and determ- ination to succeed by the priv- ate sector is an essential in- gredient." In speaking of the Common Market, Mr. Lambert pointed out that Canada has the choice of two attitudes; "a negative reaction of dismay — involving opposition to Britain's entry and the unquestioning assumption that we cannot hope to com- pete; or the more positive ap- proach of exploiting the oppor- tunities the new arrangements offer us in terms of enlarged and more prosperous markets. The second choice will certain- ly involve difficulties and dis- cipline, but we must face these realistically and be ready to ad- just to the new conditions which are Iikely to confront us." He suggested that "the eco- nomic and political consequenc- es of the U.K. application should receive the fullest and frankest study, and this is an atmos- phere of mutual understanding and trust." One doesn't need a garage for those little foreign cars --just the box they came in. Who incident in Canadian Waters (initiated the ;r41N lapse of the Spanish Empire? Tice Spaniards, at Nootka Sound or Vancouver Island in 1789 seized four British trad- ing vessels and a. major dispute for redress developed between Great Britain and Spain. The incident, known as the Nootka Sound Controversy, occasioned a decisive conflict between Bri- tish and Spanish theories of colonial sovereignty. Spain claimed that the whole north- west coast of America was hers by papal declaration and that the visits paid by her explorers to the region and the formal acts of possession they had car- ried out made her title to it absolute. Great Britain took the view that rights of sover- eignty could be obtained only through trade and the establish- ment of colonies. War appear- ed imminent but Spain found herself in a weak military posi- tion and finally yielded to Bri- tish demands in a convention signed on October 28, 1790. Ac- cording to one authority this was "the first express renoun- elation of Spain's ancient claim to exclusive sovereignty , . and marked the beginning of the collapse of her Empire."
