Pryde Unanimous Choice of Convention Thomas Pryde was unani- mously chosen Progressive Con- servative candidate for Huron riding on Thursday night for the provincial election of June 9th. He was nominated by Dr. E. A. McMaster of •Seaforth, who spoke of the outstanding service rendered by Mr. Pryde while a member of the Legisla- ture since 1948. Mr. Otto Wil- lert of Dashwood seconded the nomination of Mr. Pryde. The only other nominee was William J. Dale, former Hullett reeve and 1954 Huron County Ward- en, but he did not contest the convention. Mr. ,Dale was nom- inated by George Cowan, of Hullett, and seconded by Har- old Jackson. In his speech accepting the nomination, Mr. Pryde forceful- ly exposed irresponsible state- ments made at county Liberal meetings. "There have been no person- alities in any of my campaigns," Mr. Pryde said, "but I have figures to prove that Huron has not been getting the short end of the stick." Hospitals had to raise all their own funds before 1947, Mr. Pryde stated. Since then provincial grants have been made of $20,000 for a nurse's residence at Clinton Hospital; $25,600 for a new wing at Clin- ton ton hospital; 44 000 for an P , $ , ad- dition to Seaforth hospital;80 - 000 towards an entiely $new hospital at Exeter; and similar grants to Goderich hospital, and a grant is to be made to another new wing proposed for Goderieh hospital. This is apart from any federal grants. 24 -Mill Tax Reduction Education costs at the end of the war were only $13,000,000; this year the province is provid- ing $102,000,000. Mor. Pryde- quoted a few of the grants from the province to local municipalities, showing how the tax rates had been sub- stantially reduced by these grants. His tax bill in Exeter was reduced $85.00 by these grants which amounted to 24 mills on the tax rate. Any tax- payer could figure it out for himself from his own tak bill, Mr. Pryde said. 88 Miles Rebuilt The person who says we have the worst roads in the province, Mr. Pryde said, doesn't travel much or get far from home. Huron riding has 126 miles of provincial highway, of which 69 miles have been completely re- built since 194'7, and another 29 miles are undergoing recon- struction. This leaves only 38 miles of highway which has not been rebuilt. It is no longer enough to put a black top on a highway. These roads must be completely re- built to meet modern condi- tions. He quoted figures to show that Huron riding had re- ceived its full share of con- struction in .comparison to oth- er parts of the province. Of 82 miles of new construc- tion in the whole of Stratford division of the Department of Highways, Huron has 29 miles Iylr•. Pryde stated. Hon. Janes Allan, M.P.P. for Haldimand-Norfolk, Minister of Highways, was introduced 1bp James Donnelly, secretary of Huron Progressive Conservative Association. In his opening remarks, Mr. Allan said Mr. Pryde was a great asset to Huron; he has so many friends everywhere and among the ministers, he always has ready access to high places when something is needed in his riding. "There's nothing helps you so much in an election campaign," he told the Conservative gather- ing, "as having a candidate you can be. proud of, not only for what he is, but for what he has done for you." Elmer Bell, 'Q.C., of Exeter, expressed thanks to Hon, James Allan for his address. John Hanna, M.P. for Iluron- Bruce, also spoke briefly. Geo. Ginn, former reeve of Goderich township, and president of the Huron Progressive Conservative Association presided. Also on the platform was Mr. Russell Bolton of McKillop. William Hyde, 90, Hensall's champion old time fiddler, en- tertained with several violin se- lections at the opening of the meeting. BRODHAGEN The ,Stewards of the Christian Home of St. Peter's Lutheran Church met on Friday evening. The devotions were in charge of Leonard Rose. The scripture lesson by Roy Siemon; prayer by Mrs. Leonard Rose, and Mrs. Roy ,Siemon read the topic, "Is Your Home Christian?" Russell Sholdice, prayer, and Mrs. Rus- sell Sholdice a reading "Church Manners". Several hymns were sung. The business was presid- ed by Ralph Hicks. •Several games were played and lunch was served by the same commit- tee in charge of devotions. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Wood- wardandgirls of Toronto with Mr. and Mrs. Albert ,Queren Sesser for the weekend. Miss Audrey Hinz and Miss Beth Cole, Glenn Brickrean and Donald Wolfe in Niagara- Falls and Thorold on Sunday visiting Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hinz in Thorold. Town Gives $920 For Hockey Deficit A grant of $920 was made by Seaforth town council on Mon- day night to Seaforth Athletic Association to pay off the de- ficit Of the association. Messrs. James Murray and John Baldwin were a deputa- tion to council, and presented a financial statement. Gate re- ceipts were about $2200 lower than last season, so that in spite of the previous donation from the council of $500 there were, outstanding accounts amounting to $915.00. They said the annual meeting of the Athletic Assn. would soon be corning up; it would be im- possible to form any organiza- tion with such a big debt hang- ing over. Because of other calls on the public at this time it was not possible to seek funds by private means. Last year they had tried to raise money jointly with the Legion and arena board by bingoes, but had lost $375 each. This loss had wiped out the jacket fund, Councillor Christie inquired if any report had come in from the Community Centre Board. The Mayor said a verbal report stated •$500 had been paid off on the new floor, but there was no money for debenture princi- pal and interest payments. Oth- erwise the board was clear, in- cluding big repair bills on the mash rY ine . Next season's prospects were 'discussed and the feeling seemed to be that it would be better to have no team in the 0.H.A. un- less playing in another group. The group games had attend- ance receipts ranging only $30 to $70, not enough to cover ex- penses. The Woodstock series had jumped the gates to as high as $528 a game. Doctors and hospital bills of around $700 were taken care of by insurance, Mr. Murray said, for broken nose, wrist and el- bow, and two boys required op- erations. WILLIAM THOMPSON William P. Thompson, Tuck- ersmith township, died in Scott Memorial Hospital, about 8 p,tn. on Friday evening, following a week's illness. He was in his 86th year. Born and educated in McKillop, he was a farmer most of his life, mainly in Tuck- ersmith, Mr. Thompson retired in 1938. He was a member of Egniondville United Church and served his township as council- lor and reeve. His wife, the former Margaret Dutton, died in 1921. He is survived by one son, Arthur Thompson, 3 Pine St., Stratford; three slaughters, Mrs, Edward (Alice) Boyes, Egniondville; Mrs. Alex .(Helen) Chesney, R.R. 3, Seaforth; and Mrs. Russell (Marion) Hayter, Varna; one brother, Beattie Thompson, Vancouver, and a number of grandchildren.

Any of the members who wish to attend the district annual on June lst would you please contact Mrs. MacKenzie. The Seaforth Women's Institute are applying for the extension service Fix and Fit.

Doig gave a vary interesting paper on, Our Vegetable Gard- en. The meeting closed with God. Save The Queen. Mrs. R. J. Doig moved a vote of thanks to the hostess.

A. Mc- Master presided at the regular meeting of Seaforth council on Monday night. The new street sweeper will arrive this week. Councillor E. H, Close reported, but it will cost $100 more than expected owing to an error in the quotation made by the firm. Councillor Harvey Leslie re- ported the stePs taken to have the sa er work completed. Last w Thursday the Mayor, town solic- itor McConnell and himself had met with Mr. Gilchrist of the' bonding firm who have taken over the levelling. They en- gaged Mr. Dinsmore to finish it at an estimated cost of $540, the bulldozing being billed et the rate of $9.00 per hour for ten :lours a day. Mr. Leslie ex- pected the work to be finished Tuesday at a cost of around $300. Progress must be report- ed to the band company and the gravelling will then be taken up with thein. Sixteen laterals are still to be put in. Two men have been em- ployed to shovel out earth from inaccessible corners for the bulldozer, All earth was being used and there is none•left to be carted away. Damaged side- walks are to be repaired right away. The east lane is now ready for gravelling and Mr. Leslie said ,Mr. Boyce was drawing pit run gravel Monday night to protect it in case of rain. Pictures had been taken by the bonding company of the condition in which the work was left by the contractor. The streets committee re- port by chairman Close stated that drains hacl been cleaned out ort West, Market, Coleman, and Goderich streets. Forty store trees wore planted, catch basins were cleaned and sixteen tons of cold patch applied to streets. A mower was bought from, E, Chesney for $10 and it will bo put in shape for town use. 640 square feet of new sidewalk has been laid. Reeve Scoins reported for the property committee. He had gone over the town hall last Wednesday with the architect. The architect is not in favor of remodelling the town hall, but recommended external append- ages being built on: a garage right across the back and P130 offices between the town hall and theatre. The front fire doors are too narrow and can't be widened any more. The town truck has to be backed in. The architect's fees would be three-fifths of ten percent for drawing plans, or ten per Dent straight for plans and supervis- ing. That would be of total cost. P. U. C. chairman, Frank Kling and Manager R. B. Holmes were present -and expressed views of proposed changes. Mr. Kling had a drawing of a sug- gested layout for the ground floor of the town hall. This would include removal of the present steps and pagoda from the front of the town hall, mak- ing a central door in the build- ing' which would open into a rotunda from which access' could be had to the various -offices. Reeve Scoins asked what val- uation the P.U.C. set on the old substation on Victoria St., $500 was the reply, The architect had been favor- able to tearing' down the top story of the town hall. This would be financially .impossible this year the mayor said. No estimate of the cost had been made, Reeve .Scoins said. Remodelling would include a new fire hall, a central rotunda, and new offices. The only diffi- culty was the vault in the clerk's office. Councillor John Kellar sug- gested that a start might be inade by erecting a building be- tween the town hall and theatre. This would provide space for the provincial police and free their space in the town hall. Mr. Kellar's idea was adopted by 'council. The property com- mittee was authorized to im- mediately contact the theatre owners to find out if an agree- ment can be made for use of the theatre wall for one side of the new buiiding then tenders will be advertised for at once to get an estimate -of the cost. Remodelling of the interior of the town hall could be done in later years. Applications for building per- mits were -confirmed to F. Kling, storage shed; D. Woods, Tax Arrears Higher - Auditor Reports The auditors report for 1954 was reviewed at Monday night's council meeting by Mr. Robin- son of the firm of Brook, Davis, Dunn ,& Broughton, town audit- ors. There was nothing differ- ent from other years contained in the report, he said, except that an increase in taxes unpaid of $7793.00 had brought the total tax arrears up to $35,000 as of Dec. 31st. At time of aud- it this figure had been reduced to $31,219.00. Only one reply had been received by the audi- tors to 'notices sent out to those in arrears and this concerned a matter of but 96 cents. Treasurer D. H. Wilson said collections had been coming in fifty per cent higher than last year to date. Mr. Robinson mentioned that the town's surplus is down due to factors, one of which was that the town did not recover the Community Centre deben- 1 ture payment from the commun- � ity centre board, this sum being paid by the town last year. The town's debenture , debt, had risen, but not out of pro portion to other towns. He complimented Seaforth on the manner in which all dis- bursements go through the min utes and are presented tocourt-1 cil; this is an important feature. to the auditors and not all towns do this. The Seaforth District High School is not adequately cover -1 ed by insurance in his opinion, particularly replacement values of equipment. An increase in tax arrears is, a general condition - and Sea - forth is no more serious than, •others; however it is a danger signal. Helen Johnston on Ottawa Visit Seven representatives of jun- ior farmer organizations in Western Ontario arrived in Ot- tawa on Monday for a two-day visit to Ottawa as guests of their local members of parlia- ment. From Huron was Miss Het- en Johnston, Blyth, past presi- dent of Junior Institute and a director on the provincial board, who was the guest of Elston Cardiff, M.P.

A re- quest was also made that coun- cil level the old recreation ground for use during the re- union. Councillor Scott said it is now being summer fallowed but might be scraped into fair shape. Councillor Close thought swings and slides could be in- stalled there at some time for the children. A largely signed petition from residents in the southeast section of Seaforth, north of the C.N.R., was presented to coun- cil, asking if the culvert Harder the C.N.R. tracks could be en- larged to permit a more rapid flow of water in the spring. Several of .council had inspected it and felt something might be tried. Councillor Kellar inquir- ed if adequate drainage was provided could certain assess- ment benefits be abolished, in cases where assessment was re- duced because of flood danger. The clerk was authorized to write a letter to the C.N.R.
