On Schedule
• Business is about the same as
usual a number of Seaforth mer-
chants reported this week des-
pite the confusion on• Main
Street.
In one or two cases increases
over the same period .last year
were noted.
"We realize shoppers face
some inconvenience and we apol-
ogize for this" J. A. Stewart of,„
the 'Merchants Committee said
and added that in order to enjoy
the benefits of the improvements
some difficulties were inevitable.
Mr, Stewart said the ,Mer-
chants Committee of the Chamb-
er of Commerce was doing what
it could to keep disruption at a
minimum and to assist visitors
to town.
To this end most stores have
opened rear entrances and this
week the Committee erected
signs at the entrances to all rear
lanes indicating the stores in
each block. The signs will direct
shoppers unfamiliar with ' the
lanes.,
Meanwhile Main Street con-
struction continues on schedule.
At a meeting Monday of those in-
volved in the project, it was in-
dicated the sand ,,cushion on
much of the street now under
construction would be complet-
ed,
Construction superintendent,
Win. Foster, of Yundt - McCann
said it was hoped th:: street
would be open by the/ end of
next week south to at least
Gouinlock Street. Paving would
not be completed 'but there_
would be a crushed stone sur-
face. This would not include
Sidewalks which would follow
later.

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. Tickets for the dance

'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.
