In a letter read to the last regular Meeting Of, the ,Towti , Council' the comnilssion said that at its meeting on March 18 it was decided not to incorporate tl recreation program with the operation of the arena. '"While we believe that' a recrea- tion program should be carried on 5n thls town, we are of the opinion that our commission should not assume the direction of such," the letter explained. "May we assure you of our desire to co-operate with any plan which your council decides to follow," the letter concluded. Debentures Sold The tender of J. L. Graham and Company, Toronto, for the sale of $18,000 Town of Goderich Drive per cent debentures, due 1951-1972 at $101.10 on the dollar, was accepted. Final draught of the by-law set- ting the speed limit on the Square at 25 miles on hour was read. It provides penalties for a first Offence of $5 and not more than $50 and for a second offence of not , less than $50 and not more than $100 and itt addition suspension of 'license. ' Enclosed with the copy of the by-law was a letter from Town Solicitor J. Kenneth Bunter sug- gesting -that "the whole platter -of thelregulation of speed limits with- in corporate boundaries might well be mads a motion to be 'considered by the Association of Mayors and Reeves and by other niuuicipal as- ' soriations for submission to Queen's 'ark, with a view to granting muni- cipalities a wider discretion in con- trolling rates of speed where there is an obvious danger to the public." A standard rate of speed of `IO miles au hour within municipal boundaries has been set 'by the Highway •.lratlic Ae•t except in, rases of streets within public parks. As tli(. Court blouse Park was turned over to the towu by the Canada Laud Company for use as a market square,, there has been Bottle dis- cussion as'to whether it qualilied'as a pork. The amended by-law clear- ly states that it is uuw used as such.

Committee of the Legislutttre for the right to - separate from Waterloo County. Ilespeler is pro- testing ,the, amount it 'is .assessed for counts roads costs. From evidence heard at the hear- ing the Government learned that there are some 61 other municipal- ities supporting the He$peler move, uulesS there is an equalization of county road costs by the Govern- nieat, they, too; are seriously think- ing of applying forVieparation from the counties - in which they are located. Unfair Burden "From (Whitby to Tecumseh and from Dundas to Goderich there are towns that want to leave the county system because of what they con- sider the unfair burden of county roads costs," c}ee1ared Mr. Wood's. It. M. Myers, P.C. member for Waterloo South, told the com'ntittee cities pay only a foxed half of one mill for the upkeep of county roads whereas towns like Ilespeler, with ti copulation of 4,000, are assessed three and a quarter mills. lHespeler, he said, had felt the benefits it derives from the road system are not equal to the tax. Mr. Myers „warned the committee the whole county system in the province would be threatened if Hespeler's move succeeded. "What would" happen to the county system as -we have it to- day?" asked the legislator. Only One Itetently - Dr. Orr, deputy Minister of muni- cipal affairs, said that only one town in the province had been granted the right to separate in a long time. That was Riverside, he. said, and there was no o11►ositlon from the county. "'There are only eight separated supper w:as served in the Township 1municipalities in the province. They v-alten� .

"Ilespeler and other municipal- ities are discontented because the cities are paying only one-half mill to the three and -a quarter hills charged tp them," declared Mr. McGibbon. .`The remedy but iu- legislation, he said, suggest- ing that the suburban roud system be wiped out and all roads put into the county system. 13y dulgg this the Government would bring cities iu as partners with the towns and other municipalities. Dr. S, F. Leavine, former -Kitch- ener meow r and member of the legislature for Waterloo - North, sold Kitchener didn't object 'to pay- ing more and the city would be goad to sit down and talk it over with county ,otlicials. Costs Up J. W. .Schotiel, counsel for Iles - peter, agreed separation perhaps was • not the ultimate eure, but claimed the town was not helped, by county roads. From 1910 to 1950 the roads costs for Ilespeler had jumped •from $1,898 to $10,304 for an increase of 5.11 per cent. J. Fred - Edwards, P.C. member for Perth, told the committee towel was in the same position and argued it would be a serious mis• take to make any move which would break down the county system. Reeve Woods, of Preston, recalled that two years ago he had told the deputy minister of what ,he con- sidered the injustices of the preseut taxing system. "The deputy admitted then there would be „a 'flood of applications fo,r separation like --Hespeler's if some remedy was not found to right the injustices," continued the reeve. He is chairman of the organiza- tion formed by lit centres, repre- senting 300,000 people who are de- manding relief .from the burden of taxation for county roads. He claimed the Government had promised last 3 -ear to amend the Highways Improvetneut Act to give the relief sought.. It should he done this year and ,lie urged the Gov- ernment to act.

Really Clean Seed Can Be Obtained With Machinery There (is quite, a difference in the n1►pearanee of the average ti(e-yeaa•- old boy before and after his bath. And the same is true of seed as it comes from the thresher and a fter it goes through it modern processing Want In both cases the principle is the same: Bathing, like -steed processing reroutes a lot of dirt. Based on, actual tests, 10(1 lbs. of thresher -run clover. -seed will prob- ably shrink to 75 lbs. when put through an ordinary fanning -mill; the 25 lbs. removed consists cif chaff, soil, and the coarsest Weed seeds. But the 75 lbs. left is by no pleats pure seed. It still con- tains many weeds ineluditlg the bad ones some of which ere classi= fled as "noxious' 'alder the Seeds Act. This is where the facilities of " a modern processing plant. are put to good use because weeds of the same general weight, shape, and size as the clover ,seed cannot, be removed by the farm fanning -mill. Machine Cheaper Without modern machinery the only way one could separate these weeds from the good seed would be to pick them ottt by hand ar(d this would be quite a1 job. With a small clover seed like alsike, for instance, there are about 080,000 seeds to a (pound And. with the larger - red clover seed 272,000. 1n a pound of hay or grass seed like timothy there are no less than 1,134,000 • seeds.. It is certainly much quicker, better, and cheaper to. turn this Business over to a machine. . The machines which do this work are highly complicateed and expen- sive, and they use n variety of pro- eessen. For gu►nmy1, coated weed seeds like ribgrass, the clover is mixed with datnp sawdust which collects the sticky weed seeds into balls 'which are then ejected from the screens. •Sometime, the clover is mixed with iron dust which souks to certain weeds, and then electric magnets draw theta out. Sometimes special funnels are em- ployed which catch weed seeds of slightly different shapes. In other cnses the mixtures are soaked in snide and the difference in specific gravity of the clover and the weed seeds pctrtnits separation. It's. n pretty complicated business this processing of pure, tested seed, but it is vital work and the very foundation of good fanning. Good stands' of grass -et and clovers cannot he pmdueed from dottlittnl nr In. ferior seed but only from high grade "(applies, thoroughly tested for pur- ity and genninati ton Iutd 'bundled by reputable dealers.
