There were 14-member newspapers at the
beginning of 1981, nine dailies and five
weeklies, but on July 1 the total jumps to 24
with the addition of a tenth daily and nine
weeklies.
In a release from the council, chairman,
Davidson Dunton, sitid:` "The weekly
newspapers, most serving predominantly
rural areas, represent a far more important
section of the media than many city people
realize."

to postmaster Stewart Whitmore,
'There are about 15 unions in the post office,
and we just belong to one of them," he
explained, "not the onelon) strike. We have
never gone on strike here, and I doubt if
you'll ever see a strike here. It's a pretty
loyal bunch of workers."
In fact. there .are 18 different unions
represented in the Post Office, a situation
often cited as the main cause of seemingly
endless string of contract disputes between
postal workers and management.
Although the delivery of incoming, and
outgoing mail from beyond the Seaforth
postal area has been disrupted, "delivery
will be as usnal for Seaforth and rural
routes," added Mr. Whitmore.

Seven cars hit
Huron County Council recommended to
its development committee at its June
meeting that a 'minimum of 1,000 trees be
planted when the committee issues an order
to replant trees.
Eck some time now, council has been
concerned Abut the number of applications
. for exception-40-0m_ tree cutting by.law,
which have been brought before the
development committee. The committee's
June report showed they considered seven
applications this month.
• Stanley reeve Paul Steckle told council it
seems people want to extend themselves as
far as the by-law permits. In many cases
when-the•-committee a?Iatmer-to
remove a lot of trees, they request the
farmer replant 100 trees. Steckle said he
questions whether 100 trees is worth
planting and what ensures the trees will live,
he asked.
Steckle commented he appreciates the
concern of farmers that large machinery
does not operate well around trees, but he
said he is also concerned about the problems
of erosion and top- soil-Wowing away.
Torn Cunningham, chairman of the
development committee ponted out that the
by-law is explicit; if trees are encouraged to
die through neglect or some other reason,
the committee has the power to order they
lie replanted again.

a success
Although attendance at Saturday's farm-
ers market was down slightly compared to'
lase year's, those who did visit were a
"buying crowd" and exhibitors seemed
satisfied, according to recreation director
Bryan Peter.
"As far as I know, all the exhibitors arc
coming back." explained the director Mon-
day. "They must be happy or they Wouldn't
be coming back."
Mr. Peter said the drop in numbers may
have been the result of people taking
Monday for the July 1 holiday and going
away for the long weekend.
"It just so happened 'it hit , on a 'holiday,
but it's not-likely that will happen again." he
added.
The second of four markets, to be held in
Victoria Park this summer is scheduled for

trees, said Cunningham. it is possible the
committee will recommend none be planted.
Reeve Steckle observed planting the trees
six feet apart in rows six feet apart would
• permit 1,840 trees to be planted in an acre.
He said he doesn't find the new ruling out of
line in this respect.
