by the members of the Seaforth
Branch No. 156 of the Royal

Seaforth council, on the re-
commendation of the protection
to persons committee, voted to
accept the resignation of Con-
stable Keith Ruston Monday night.
The motion presented by
Counc. William Pinder, chairman
of the committee, brought strong
protests from Councillors Betty
Cardno and George Hildebrand
and also by deputy-reeve Wilmer
Cuthill.
Councillor Hildebrand con-
tended the motion was not on the
agenda and was included without
giving council a chance to debate
the issue properly.
Stating that it was an ,,under
• the table" move byCounc.Pinder,
he was under' the impression
council tentatively had agreed to
do nothing further until a report
from the investigation: of the
police department as a whole
had been received from -the On-
tario Police Commission.
It was indicated Fred Davies
and Walter Johnston were at
present in town conducting the
Ontario Police Commission in-
vestigation which council had
requested and had met with a
number of menibers of council
that afternoon.
According to Counc. Hilde-
brand, 'Mr. Davies had suggested
at that time that they do 'nothing
until their report was received
and which they would rush through
as fast as possible. Councillor
Cardno agreed that this was what
had been said.
Counc. Hildebrand asked
Counc. Pinder about a letter
written by Mr. Ruston and ad-
'dressed to 'council, stating he
would withdraw his resignation.
Councillor Pinder -said the
Clerk Ernest• Williams recalled
having received it.
Counc. Hildebrand then pre-
sented a motion to council ask-
ing that -the previous motion be
rescinded. This was defeated in
a vote. _.
In further business council
accepted a motion that Fred Cole
be 'appointed to the Seaforth
Police department effective May
9, 1972. However, moments later
a by-law to authorize the hiring
of the new constable was defeated
by council in a four to three vote.
Frank Williams, appearing as
a one man delegation before
council, asked that council con-
sider reducing the cost 'of a
hawkere and peddler's license
to him for peddling bread in Sea-
forth, stating that bread sales men
in both Clinton andGbderiCifvfere
not required to have licenses. He
said the bulk of his town deliver-
Overcome by silo gas, Wilfred

Brodhagen died Saturday
morning.
Mr. Wolfe had been loading
corn out of a silo and had gone
into the silo to free corn that
was not feeding into the auger.
His son, Wayne, 15, alarmed
when his father didn't reappear

and attempted to revive him. He
in turn was overpowered by the

Another brother Warren 16,
who had been called by Wayne
managed to pull his father and
brother from the silo.
Dr. P. L. Brady, of Seaforth,
the family physician, pronounced
Mr. Wolfe dead at the scene.
