And Seaforth Council has promised to give them an answer after next Tuesday night's regular meeting. "1t is an idea whose time has come," the churches noted in a presentation to council Monday night. "In light of recent cuts made by the provincial government and the promise of more to come, the matter has become more urgent," the presentation noted. "At the same time many of our church members have expressed a similar concern. "Last year, 158 families from our town and surrounding area were served by the Huron County Christmas Bureau. A • conservative estimate of four per family gives us over 600 children, women and men who have less than they need. This number is expected to grow." Rev. Bruce Cook of Northside United Church who spoke for all Seaforth churches and the five area clergy who attended Monday night's coun- cil meeting, noted the local churches already "have a Targe pool of volunteers ready to go", and that a Seaforth food' bank "would fill a hole in this area where services don't exist." The delegation had done its homework, scouting existing food banks in the arca, and Rev. Cook noted some Seaforth-area people are acces- sing food banks in Zurich and Exeter now.

Clinton is operated by the Salvation Army, is open every day but can be accessed once every three months and is considered 'emergency' not ongoing assistance. They es- timate $30,000 in food stuffs is shared yearly," Monday's presentation from the Seaforth churches suites. "The food bank in Mitchell is operated out of the local Lutheran church. It is small, unsupervised and those who are aware of it help themsel- ves." Rev. Cook added that those using such food banks don't seem to be taking undue ad- vantage of such limited operations. "They self -police themselves because of pride," he said. Among many advantages of the recently vacated police space in Town Hall is its discreet accessibility for those who might wish to use a food bank without advertising their state, Rev. Cook said. He added the Seaforth food bank might be open, two or two -and -a -half days a week ' and the local churches would like to have the service in operation by the end of January or early February. The presentation stressed that any Seaforth food bank would be separate from the annual Huron County Christmas Bureau, and cel fainly not in competition with this worthwhile welt -run ongoing charity. "In the best of all possible worlds we would be out of business in three months," Rev. Cook said. "But that's not going to hap- pen " Seaforth will lose $75,000 from, provincial government Next year's budget looks OK, but two and three years down the road look out! The Town of Seaforth didn't get any big surprises and was expecting the cuts in municipal funding announced by Queen's Park last week. h is waiting for the details, expected within two weeks from the government, before working on next year's budget in earnest, a process that usually takes from die start of the New . Year . to about April. The Ontario municipal fun- ding cuts total about $200 - million, about the same round figure the Social Contract cost. "The effect, if its allocated across the province the same, will be the same as having tie Social Contract three -years in- a -row, piggybacked," Seaforth Administrator ,Jiin . Crocker says. That three-year Social Contract is -scheduled to end in April, The Seaforth administrator estimates last week's announ- cement will mean about $75,000 less for Seaforth's budget next year. The ,town raised $802,000 by taxation the last fiscal year, and "if we have . to add $75,000 on to that it' will be significant," he says. Seaforth's budget was about $2.3 -million in 1994, which includes county and school boards. The municipality itself Department heads of Seaforth Council met Thursday to dis- cuss the implications of On- tario's mini -budget. They decided we are going to have . to find ways to do without things that we are used to, do things a different way, "certai- nly take a look at the elimination of some services", or find new sources for funds. "We don't think this year is going to be too much of a problem," Crocker says. "But when they tack it on next year we are really going to do a lot of soul searching on those three issues. "The next year, and the next year are just going to be that much tougher if they arc going to do it to us all over again. , "If our shortfall this year is, say 525,000, we think we can deal with it - Crocker says the' government's proposal to replace its various grants with block funding is something municipalities have wanted for years. Under this proposal municipalities will have more flexibility, and it will perhaps do away with one of the more wasteful spending habits of government. - "Right now' if we don't use our subsidy allocation of roads each year we lose it," the ad- ministrator says. That might not be the case had a budget of about $1.2- under the government's block - million last year. funding proposals. Students play euchre, shuffleboard The snowy weather of November has helped everyone at Maplewood Manor to get into the Christmas spirit. Members of the Seaforth Legion held a Remembrance Day service on' Nov. 9 at Maplewood. We greatly appreciate them sharing this with us. Students of Mrs. Hoelscher's class from the public school visit Maplewood to spend time with the residents. Tadd Smith, Mathew McLellan, Trevor Ward and Trevor Zaple played challenging games of euchre and shuffleboard with residents. Students of Mrs. Hayter's class also visit once a month to play bingo. B.J. Urbach was the lucky winner of the jackpot. Residents enjoyed sing -a - longs with Bill Gibson and Carol Carter. The Notes of Yesteryear also visited Maplewood for a great musical afternoon. Rev. Cheryl Ann Stadelbauer-Sampa, Pastor Rick Lucas, Pat Roberts and Rev. Bruce Cook came to }Maplewood Manor Maplewood for a great musical afternoon. Residents got into the Christmas spirit as they watched another spectacular Santa Claus parade from the showroom of Bill McLaughlin's. Everyone agreed that they just keep getting better and better! Ladies of our craft classes were invited to the home of Betty Harris where we saw the beautiful Christmas village she has madd. We were also treated to a delicious lunch. Thanks for your hospitality.
