FORMED IN JANUARY The, association, formed in 4anUary of this year,,, was de- signed to proVide r round activities for the youth of the area, - A number of citizens of the community were prompted to form the association when the lack of facilities and activities for children became apparent last winter. Children wishing to skate or play hockey' had to be dftven to Mitchell or Seaforth and donat- ions had to be canvassed to pay for ice time. "The people of the area were very , with donations," said J. P. Krauskopf, • a ,, member of the Athletic Association. "Ev- en people 'with no children do- nated". The association has 'been fin• anced until now by a surplus of donations for ice time. An application to the Ontario government for assistance this spring brought the' association soccer bans, baseballs, bats and other equipment. Future plans of the group in- clude organizerhockey, soccer and fastball teams and the as- sociation is exploring pays in which it can provide a commun- ity centre torve the area. se A Cabaret dance on Friday night at Brodhagen .has been planned to raise funds to fin- Ace the balance of the summer schedule.

Report Business Good Area Students Win K of C Scholarships 'The Ontario municipal board has advised the town that it has adopted a report prepared by board member R. M. McGuire • as its decision concerning ap- proval of a Seaforth zoning by- law. The report followed a hearing' in the town hall here 'on July 8. Objections to the by-law cent- ered around the creation of a light industrial area north west of Duke Street and the divorc- ing of this area from the \re- sidential area to the south by creation of cul de sacs on East William and Church Streets and secondly the creation of ' a small park Area north west of Church Street. The report accepted the provisions of the by-law con- cerning the light industrial area, but did not approve the zoning ,-of the park area, saiIdn: his report Mr. McGuire This is- an application to the Board for the approval of a re- strictive area establishingtplaw for the Town of Seaforth. The planning consultant explained that it had been prepared after a detailed and comprehensive study and a conceptual project- ion over a twenty year period taking into consideration the existing land use locations and extent, anticipated growth and. ability to service. Dr. Munn, supported by Mr. Sills, objected to the zoning' of a portion of his land for public open space except under certain objections which were not being met. agree with the position taken by the doctor. If the mun- icipality wishes to accomplish the acquisition of land for pub- lic parks there are other Means to accomplish this end but at should not be done in the 'man- ner proposed, ThisImethod would have the effect of downgrading the value of lands in private ownership for the public benefit without paying for it. I there- fore recommend that the zoning on this preperty e. open space) south of Duke Street and being part of lot 26, concession 1, Township of MeKillop now in the Town of Seaforth, be not approved. The board was requested not to approve Section 6. 1(1) and I so recommend. It was also indicated to the Board that the municipal coun- cil was prepared to make two • amendments as a result of ob- jections which are: 1. B.P. Canada Limited - re- zoning of all of the, service stat- ion property on the south side of Goderich Street west of Main Street from Community COrn- mercial to Highway Commercial. 2. Section 4.5.4. - change business sign requirements to permit 40 square feet instead of 36 square feet, I recommend that the by-law be.approved save and except Dr. Munn's property and Section 6..1(f) heretofore referred to. The decision of the last two mat- tens which will require further notice should be reserved atter the =mounts lutve'been cost sidered.
