Meeting A large and enthusiastic crowd of farmers met in the town hall, Seaforth, on Thurs. afternoon, Dec. 27, 1956. (May- or Dr. McMaster welcomed the farmers on behalf of the town and stated the smaller towns are dependent on the farmers prosperity. He agreed that there was a great need for a strong farm organization. Elston Cardiff M.P. was in- troduced by Bob Taylor, Huron Co. sub -director. He stated far - mere carry the load of the econ- omy of this country and are the only industry that has not par- ticipated in the economy. Farm- ers are not getting their fair share Mr. Cardiff said. .Albert Cormack, Arthur, Pres. Ont. Farmer's Union said farm- ers are so confused today they don't know who or what to be- lieve. At the same time as our Minister of Agriculture, Mr. 'Gardiner was telling a group of farmers in ;Sask. that fanners were receiving parity today, his assistant, Mr. McCu'b'bin was telling this annual convention of O.F:U. in Guelph that farm- ers are not receiving parity. However ,Mr. McCubbin said farmers were entitled to parity and before leaving the conven- tion he promised to vote for parity prices if the resolution was introduced in a proper man- ner. There are 'only two reasons why farmers are not getting parity. One is the Federal Lib- eral Party and the other is the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture said Mr. (Cormack. He went on to quote from a speech made by Hon. Jas. Gardiner at the Federal Provincial Agric. Convention. "There can be no argument whatever that . farm people are entitled to parity, p a united front to the engineer. that is to incomes and standards of living that are fully in line About snowplowing, .on a spur with the level of wealth and prosperity achieved by this na- tion. But the Canadian Federa- tion of Agriculture (believes that a sound price support pro- gram must recognize the diffi- culties and complications and long run effects that are in- volved." The C.F.A. has (be- come a buffer (between the Fed- eral Government and the (Cana- dian fanners stated r1VLr. 'Cor mask. Speaking on 'amalgamation Mr. Cormack said all overtures to date had been made by the (Farm Unions, and the main re- quisites would be membership control and member financed.. The O.F.U. President said he hoped an agreement could Ibe reached and farmers would speak with a united voice. • After a good question and an- swer period several farmers took membership. The meeting was sponsored by local 134: Carl Dalton, 'Seaforth, President • SISTER PASSES the Report off School' Area Chairman The following its the report given by Ross Forrest, chairman of the school area (Board, at the Tuckeremith nomination Mon- day afternoon. Being chairman of the school board for the past; year, I am attempting to. bring you a 're- port of our activities of the year. Understand •(that I have 'written this report as I have seen things and , any other member of the (bo'a'rd may feel free to add to or co$rect any of my statements when they have their turn to speak., AS' in previous years our supplies have ibeeii purchased from Jack Hood in Stratford.

The new man's equip- ment now has a new motor, heavy duty rear end and new wing., He complimented Mr. 'Ches- ney as clerk and said his work had increased by 50%. Of indigent hospitalization, township budgets very close and does not pick up more than one quarter of their pro rata share which would be $4,000. A major part of road money had been spent in one part of the township this year trying to secure a federal road grant, without success so far. The Olensall road at the south; end will probably not be paved' until after the hot mix plant is in operation as other work is wanting. Wilber Keys inquired if Eg- mondville water system would include fire proteetion. Mr. Doig said thematter was left over to spring, 'I but a large reservoir should be considered. ;n closing he said he assumed full responsibility for his •deaf- sions and 'asked for support. Ivan Forsyth Councillor Ivan Forsyth said Andrew Houston, road surpt., is making • good recovery frown an aceidentj some time ago. Grader operator had been ill but is back this week. There had (beenimu c h struction in 1956, notably large ISandford'Ibnidge. With the highest 'tax roll in history, current •arrears to Dec. 15 are 419,038.41, nearly twice last year. Taxation is gettingg beyond our 'ability to Pay, said. (County rate was up 1 m also school area and Sea- -forth h D.H.S., !Clinton D.OELS, up 1 , .Exeter •up 2 mills, S.S. No. • Two teachers resigned and were replaced by Miss Banner- man at No.. 5 school and Mrs, Orland Reichert at No. 1 school. Other teachers were re -hired with au increase in salary. •One additional teacher was hired for the extra room at Egmondville. After (being without a music supervisor for. one year I am happy to say that we have en- gaged the services of Mrs. Mac- Kinnon of 'Clinton. Once again the matter of en additional class room at E'g- mondviile carne up for discus- sion, This matter was ;brought to a head at our April meeting when a delegation of 10 or 12 persons from Egmondville ap- meared at our meeting. Two joint meetings with 'council fol- lowed soon afterwards and con- trary to last year, we received the support of council provided that we could borrow money from council against our share of clergy reserve monies. At this time I would like to thank: Mr. Chesney on the board's be- half for -going to Toronto on his own and mating arrange- ments for us to receive our loan within a week's time. It took several months to agree on a plan that suited both the department of education and ourselves and as a result construction did not get started until September. We accepted the tender of John Lansink of Seaforth, ata price over. $21,- 000. As a result this project has dragged over two gears but I am happy to report that it is al- most ready to move into now. Although our board this year was divided concerning the ad- ditional room, not so. seriously as last year and at all times eye had the utmost co-operation from inspectors Ma. Gardiner and Mr. Goran, head of educa- tional departments in Toronto, and our parliament representa- tive in Toronto. On account of our new class- room not being ready for ,Sep- tember 1 a temporary roomhad to be located. Our board had hoped to rent the church base- ment but this did not meet with the approval of the church board. As a result we rented an- other building and spent some money to put it in shape. Al- though our inspector &Ir..;Go- man •approyed of its use the Health Unit stepped in after a month's time and advised us that we must spend more money or look for another place. As a result of advice of inspector, all pupils went back to the one room• During the past two or three years we have started a pro- gram to improve our school pro- perties with oil furnaces and pressure systems, but at this time I would like to point out to the 'Eganondville ratepayers that during the 'past year this program was completely curtail- ed in favor of the additional TOOTS. Last year the rumor got a- round' that the board was going to close No. 5 school. I want to assure you that this is not the case. In my opinion No. 5 school is going to be one of the key schools in the Area. With the crowded conditions in No. 9 school I feel that the day is coarsing that students from No. 9 will have to be directed to No. 5. I£ this should happen I hope that the ratepayers of these two sections co-operate with the washes of the board. In June, the ehildren from Grade 4 up to eight were taken on the usual bus trip and this year we visited Gieendeld Vil- lage and the Ford museum. At Christmas ,time the board pro- vided treats for all school chil- dren and lire -school children up to 25c per child. In closing I would like to pay the digest tribute to our secretary treasurer, IMr. Roberts for ads fine work, not just this year but for the many years he has been with the board. —Ross Forrest, Chairman Mr. Cecil Loney was called to his home at Dryden, Ont., by the death of his sister, Miss ,Ethel Loney who passed away 'Christmas night after a long ill- ness. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Loney and is survived by six sisters and two brothers. The funeral was held ea Saturday. Mr. Loney is remaining at Dryden till the end of this. ,week.
