MAY ASSUME COST Town Council BRODHAGEN.: HULLETT 22 adult Miffs Joanne Q of Fireside Forum met at the week end in Toronto with Miss R clr silent the On Monday a members EP A h Discusses Insurance ARENA REPAIRS $2 800 00 Seaforth town council met in With their budget for the year and tax rate set, Seaforth council at their regular November sheet- ing Tuesday evening. faced a re- quest for nearly $8000. from the Arena Board to cover cost of major.•repairs and improvements. W. T. Teall, chairman of the arena, appeared before council and discussed the whole situa- tion. Mr. Teall said 'the present board understood the freezing plant was in good shape when it took over and went ahead with iniiprovemeuts at the front end' in the neighborhood- of $800 Worth of paint and $200 for paint- ers. The board had hoped to pay for this from receipts once the ice was formed. Everyone knew said Mr. Teall that one of the compressors .went out when' the ice machine was started last. week. While waiting for repairs, they had taken a 'look at the other compressor and found it needed repairs. When both, compressors had been repaired and they attempt- ed to make ice over the week end they found. that once they reach- ed freezing temperature rose back to 34 degrees. Upon examination they found the condenser was plugged. Mr. Teall described the condenser as being built with-. tubes like a boiler but of heavier construc- tion to hold the ammonia. The ammonia circulates around the tubes which carry - the water (brine) that circulates under the ice pad. The condenser was found to be choked with calcium, sludge and rust. Two men.had been sent from Strathroy to use chemical cleaners but found the deposit much too heavy. Two tubes were discovered to be Bono said Mr. Teall and a general survey of the tubes was • made. It was decided to retube the condenser. The foundry was consulted. Tubes were located in Toronto and Wright & Leyburn are bringing them up Wednesday. 66 tubes 16 feet long will be needed, costing- 35c a foot deliv- ered. The condenser tubes are 14 feet long and require about 3 in. heading on each end. The problem of removing the old tubes ,without scarring the condenser 'was being solved Mr. Teen sent to Torotold nto MondaYcil. A car hadn night to obtain 200 lbs, of liquid ammonia, 20d lbs. more Would be required. Asked by councillors why the condenser had not been .cleaned during the past seven years Mr, Teall said he understood the firm which installed it recommended • "leaving the condenser alone." He said the John Inglis Co. which built it, said it should be cleaned at least once -a year, and drained and left dry during the summ . r. Last year power costs had gone up a third said Mr. Teall, and he felt sure this was because the condenser was .unable to func- tion properly in cooling the flow- ing water. Asked about the curling, rink Mr. Teall said costs had not in- creased at all_ when the addition - .al ice sheet was hooked on the arena system, as the water cir- culated under the ice pad, In facet- tertash t he ad taken the strainstem had boff the circulating pump. The PUG said Mr. Teall had agreed to reduce the.water charges this year to a flat $100. In discussing the financial as- pests .Mr: Teall said they needed cash to pay for the steel tubing. Council said they would send Town Clerk Wilson and Solicitor P.. McConnell to. Toronto on Thursday to interview the mun- icipal affairs dept. on proper.pro- cedure in this case. Councillor' Turnbull thought that in future the arena board should be put on the town mill rate. Ile thought debentures should be' issued to pay off out- standing, notes. Council agreed this could all be discussed with the municipal affairs dept. Reeve Scotus led a discussion on insurance on the arena. Pres- ent insurance. i5 $45,000 costing $900. ThestoWn owes $27,500 plus interest 'on the arena. S " SEEKING FRANCHISE' FOR.

The' minutes of eetnr ' were :read by Eleanor 'KY the last ane es and ,they were• adopted. The roll call`was` an- swered and notes were given o wool. (Mrs. James 'Keyes, our alder ,demonstrated how .to shrink wool material and press home of Mr. and Mrs, Harvey Taylor to discuss farm credit. We considered the first question was not clear as it might refer to the capital needed to commence farming or to the average capital required to farn'i for one year. 'Some believed it would be neces- sary to have $26,000 to purchase the average 100 acre farm, buy necessary grade stock and sec- ond hand machinery. Of course modern new machinery and pure bred stock would be much more expensive. Add the cost of living for a family, fuel, taxes, fertiliz- er, feed grain, gas for car and tractor, and you can uiiderstand why many young people leave the farm: Many young men require more credit than the average would want to assume or could get, or be able to pay for. Sec- ond, the Quebec farm credit bur- eau lends up to 76.% of the real value of the farm offered as sec- urity (stock and machinery not included). They will lend addi- tional sums for necessary re- pairs to buildings. With good luck, perfect health and a healthy ideal wife, the young man might be able to pay his interest and some principal in good years. Third. We do not consider lo - Cal dealer credit satisfactory or economical. It would be better to borrow money from the bank or procure money privately on a longer term agreement and buy for cash, receiving the discount. Fburth. We .would approve of supervision of the farming oper- ation for government credit if the supervisors were reasonable and competent men, broad mind- ed, keen business men and spec- ialists in the line of farming in winch they gave advice. The Jun- ior Farmers Act and the Veter- ans Land Act have been benefic- ial to many young people, es- pecially when the supervisor was capable and took a personal interest in the young people, Next meeting will be at the hone of Mi'.. and Mrs, Eric And- derson.

An- other group thought a good 100 acres would cost a minimum of $15,000 and at least $600 to equip. Question 2: Is dealer credit an economical proposition. They thought we have to have dealer credit to feed live stook and is satisfadtory -if you -are a good manager. Question 3: Is govern- ment supervised credit satisfact- ory.

'Should Producer Groups have the right to market their pro-. duce by whatever means they collectively decide? This is no time for quibbling about whether it will be a Mar- keting Agency, •or iMarketing Board or Negotiating Board or Public Auction or any other plan. These details should be 'decided at your local annual meetings through the elections of the ,officers. Here you can give the kind of advice that the directorate needs and can re- ceive from the local member- ship. •This advice will then come from the people who are inter- ested enough to attend and .are willing to give some thought to the welfare of the producer. If coming votes are held on the same basis as the Tobacco vote the answer may be giver by those who are too indifferent to cast a 'ballot. To vote in fa vor you must go to the pollin booth and vote but you can vob against by just sitting at home, This is true since a clause in the regulations states that there must be 51 per cent vote in fa- vor of the plan.
