The Seaforth News, 1955-07-14, Page 4TOWN COUNCIL Continued from Page 1 reunion. The kids are out with rakes making a ball diamond there, the reeve said. The mayor said there was a request for a building lot on the southeast corner from Hart- man Hnisser. Council felt it might be a good idea to make a start by selling one lot. Mayor McMaster asked coun- cil's approval for the town to pay the cost of a civic dinner. for twenty on civic holiday at 11.30 a.m. when nearby reeves and the county warden would be guests of council at the Queen's Hotel. The members of parlia- ment would also be invited, This was the only way to get them all gathered together and be ready to head the big parade of that afternoon, Mayor Mc- Master said. Mayor McMaster said the town should have a float in the parade on civic holiday as well as the two decorated fire trucks. Two members of council were appointed to look after this. The mayor said there had been 37 entries in the centennial parade at Cranbrook last week, a small community with only one store. Messrs Russel Bolton and Harold Jackson appeared before council on behalf of the Sea - forth Agricultural Society to ask for an increased grant. They pointed out that neighboring towns give $300 to $500, to their fairs. Councillor Scott in discussion, advised a smaller grant, contending that the townships do not give near as much as Seaforth. Councillor Jack Kellar favored a grant of $300 and was supported by Councillor Leslie. Offer of a compromise failed and the mat- ter was voted on, in favor of a grant of $250.00. A communication from the town of New Toronto resulted in a motion by Seaforth council asking for more accommodation for retarded children in the province. The mayor reported two let- ters about septic tanks and out- door toilets being a nuisance, As Dr. Ardis is on holidays it was decided to forward the com- plaints to Inspector Empey and also Board Chairman, Melvin Crich, A letter from the Ontario Au- omobile Assn. asked that Thurs. I day, April 26, 1956, be set aside for safety inspection day i in Seaforth. Council thought it a long way ahead but gave their o.k. CIvic holiday will be on Mon- day, August 1st, the required motion being passed. Approval was given for a building permit to Robert Smith for a sun porch, cost $450. Councillor Kellar said noth- ing had been done yet about more street signs and Connell - ler Christie suggested to Reeve Scoins that the Comity roads should have a white centre line for greater safety to drivers. The reeve said the cost was the hindrance, Council adjourned and will hold a special meeting to go over estimates and set the tax rates for 1955. The following accounts were passed: H.

Board The following is the report of Mr. R. Whitely, Agriculture Teacher, to Seaforth District High School Board. Dear Sir: I am pleased to sub- mit to the Board this report of the activities of the Department of Agriculture for the school year of 1954-55. 1. Courses Offered: In grades IX and X all boys take Agricul- ture and all pupils in grades IX, X, ;\I and XII take Agricultural Science. Twelve periods weekly are assigned to Agriculture— four to each of two grade I: classes and four to grade X. 2. Activities (a) Fall: About 40 per cent of the students of this High School participated in the Fall Fair at Seaforth. The students competed in many Oa- ses of vegetables, fruit, flowers, cooking and dressmaking. The prize winners are too numerous to mention here. However, many were won by these students. Fence rows surrounding the school grounds were cleaned up by grades IX and X students, particularly along the fence row fronting the perennial border. This will considerably improve the appearance of the front of the school, The Gladioli were taken in and stored for planting in the spring. They appeared to have been rather badly damaged with insects, but some may be saved. The boys were asked to find out the best method of treating these bulbs and after classroom discussion, this was done. All the land under the charge of the Department was plowed. The boys were sent out in groups of two, one experienced, the other inexperienced, and the experienced boy instructed the inexperienced. This resulted in a rather poor job of ploughing, but many boys who had never ploughed before were given the opportunity to pick up a few fundamentals. The boys of the Agricultural Department co-operated with Mr. Dobson and his P.T. Depart- ment in picking stones from the new playing field. This depart- ment had intended to fertilize and seed the field in the fall, but the weather was too wet, and this work was delayed until spring. The boys of this school cap -ii tured many honours in the ploughing matches last fall. At p the North Huron, ploughing match, the following boys were withers in their classes: 1, Mounted Plough Class — Toe Williams, Bill Strong. 2 Senior High School Class: Neil McGavin, Donald Dodds. 3. Junior High School Class: Andrew Patrick, Donald Tre- meer. Two boys participated in the novice class, capturing second and fourth place. At the South Huron Match, Joe Williams and Bill Strong placed second in the Mounted Plough Class, Neil MeGavin and Donald Dodds went on to the Interna- tional Ploughing Match to com- pete. They placed seventh. It was with much satisfaction that I saw Joe Williams and Bill Strong win the Mounted Plough Class at the North Hun - on Match. Against all comers, using the new school tractor, and a cockshut mounted plough, they did a very good job in- deed. The plough was loaned by Mr. Gordon MeGavin. A group of grade X boys, ac- companied by Mr. Plulnsteel and myself visited the International Ploughing snatch on the day that Neil McGavin and Donald Dodds were supposed to have ploughed. The match was post- poned, but the boys were able to visit the tented city where ex- hibits of all types of farm ma- chinery were available. During the fall, 100 tulips were set in the new flower -bed to the south of the main en- trance. The Department also potted daffodil bulbs for use in the school. They were set out- side under straw for the winter, and brought out in time for bloom before Easter. The two grades XI were tran- sported to the Royal Winter Fair during November. They travelled in two busses and were accompanied by Mr. Phimsteel and myself. .(b) Winter: Practical activi- ties are of course somewhat cur- tailed during the winter months. However, we were able to use the Farm Mechanics room to good advantage during this time. The grade X boys dismantled, overhauled, and reassembled the cockshut motor. The grade IX boys dismantled, cleaned, and painted a cultivator. The grade X boys also built a potting bench in the small boiler room, and it is hoped that eventually we may be able to grow many flowers and vegetables there, using flourescent lighting. At the present time, the Farm Mechanics room is used by the department, and by others as a storeroom and a workplace. It is hoped that eventually the room will be made over into a complete farm workshop, where the boys could actually work on damaged and unworkable machinery. This will enable the teacher of Ag- ricultu r e to teach mo mech- anics, � 1 ech- anics, welding, farm machinery repair, and other manual skills which are so essential to the modern farmer. As yet, no de- finite plan has been made, but by next fall such a plan will be prepared for the approval of the board. :During February and March a group of grade X boys built an exhibit for the North Huron Seed Fair. The theme of the project was the "Inter -relation of Heredity and Environment of Beef Cattle", and was very well received. The cost of this project was borne by a grant from the Depart in e an of Agriculture. Seven dollars of this grant is unspent, and is held by me. During March, twelve dozen partially incubated eggs were placed in our incubator from which 95 chicks were hatched— a 79 per cent hatch, three were lost in the first week giving us 62 cockerels and 30 pullets. A detailed report is given below. Hatched 95 R.I. Red X White Sussex dual purpose; sold pul- lets 30, $4.00; lost 3. Raised 62 broilers; sold broilers 53, May 25th at 25c lb. for $44.50. Tot- al 348.50. The remaining 9 birds must have been stolen, or taken by rats as chicks. Cost, less equipment expens- es $54.50; loss 36.00; equip- ment for poultry house $5.50. A cheque for $48.50 has been forwarded to you under separate cover. (c) Spring and Summer: The most important project of the Agriculture Department this Spring was landscaping bhe new wing. During the Easter holiday, three grade XI :boys and myself planted the foundation plantings. They were as follows: 100 Grootendorst shrub roses; 250 Chinese elm hedge plants; 2 Yew trees; 4 Mugo pines; 2 Koster blue spruce. As a bonus for the above or- der, the Brookdale-Kingsway Nurseries sent the school 48 tea rose plants which were set out in a bed to the north of the school. Dianng this time the new playing field was cultivat- ed, fertilized and seeded with Timothy. When school was resumed af- ter the Easter holiday, the fol- lowing projects were carried out by the boys: - 1. Grading, raking, fertilizing. and seeding the lawn about the new wing. This entailed the spreading of about 20 loads of top soil and consequently a great deal of time assigned to useAgrdiculture.. Timothy seed was 2. A plot of small fruits was set out, consisting of: 100 Red raspberry plants, Latham var- iety; 26 black raspberry plants, purple Sodus variety; 12 red current plants, Red Lake var- ety; 12 black current plants, Consort variety; 12 gooseberry Tants, Red Jacket variety. 3. A test plot for potatoes consisting of 2 areas, each area containing 1 variety ie: Irish Cobbler and Sebago. 4. A vegetable garden con- sisting of fall maturing vegeta- bles, popping corn, muskmelon and watermelon. 5. A corn fertilizer test con- sisting of 5 plots each about 1/3 acre, and fertilized as follows: Plot No. 1, no fertilizer; No. 2, 100 lbs,, acre; No. 3, 200 lbs., acre; No. 4, 300 lbs., acre; No. 6, 400 lbs„ acre. The fertilizer used was 10-10-10. The seed for this test was donated by Pfister Hybrids. (d) The care and mainten- ance of the school garden plot has been assigned to two boys of Seaforth as a Home Project. Home Projects have been as- signed to all boys of grade IX and all pupils of grade X, For this purpose, a booklet has been prepared by the school secre- tary. These booklets will be filled out by the individual stu- dent to be returned to the school this fall or when the pro- ject is completed. During July I will visit these pupils to assess their project. The ability to conceive, plan and execute a home project is, I believe, a vital part of the training re- ceived by a pupil in this school. Pictures of these projects will be taken by me for showing dur- ing the annual Open House. In conclusion may I express my thanks to the Boarrd for their help and co-operation dur- ing this, my first year, at the Seaforth :District high School.,I would also like to extend my thanks to Mr. Phu steel and the members of the staff here for thein friendly help and their good fellowship in making my first year there so pleasant. I might add here that the tractor, purchased by the Board last September, has been of the greatest use to the department, both on the laud and as an ag- ent fon publicity. At the date of this writing, the ,tractor has been in -operation some 80 hours, and has been invaluable in preparing land, levelling top soil and a thousand other jobs.

Evans, the former Jean Hurford, won't be able to be at the Old Boys, in a letter to Ted Southgate, from 24 Court- house Road, Maidenhead; Berks, Englund, she says "Many thanks for the invitation to the 01c1 Boys Reunion. Unfortunately, there is a lot of money between a reunion with Seaforth friends and yours truly, not to mention the ties of two sons (and a husband). 1 al- ways consider Seaforth as my Ihome town, as all my schoolctay tnenun•ies are there. "If any of the Old Boys lind themselves 00 our Fide of the pond, a spare loom will always be available at No. 24. To all those who remem- ber me, please pass on my reg- ards and all good wishes l'or a happy reunion." Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Strong of Ottawa -are looking forward to re- newing acquaintances in Seaforth during the Olcl Boys Reunion. Writing this week, Mr. Strong asks that two tickets for the CBC Neighborly News broadcast be reserved for him. Mr. and Mrs. J. V. McAree of 40 Cavell Ave., Mimico, are plan- ning to be in Seaforth during the celebration. Mr. McAree is the well known columnist of the To- ronto Globe and Mail, while Mrs. McAree is the foriner Margaret Stewart, and is a cousin of Milt Stewart and others in district. In Letter to Miss Hazel Reid, Mrs. McAree says that there is great interest in the reimion, and that she has had queries from her brother, Cyril Stewart, as well as from a cousin, Lou Stewart, of Montreal, and they are planning also to be present. She recalls Incidents during the clays when she attended school here, and says: "I shall never forget how Reg Reid used to keep us in stitches in High. School. He sat up near the front, and when Mr. MacKay wasn't looking, Reg kept us entertained by some witty ob- servations, notes and mumblings. Goshl those old days—forty years ago—and it seems like last year. Mrs. Mary McKinnon Letang, Wallace7�t St., London, is look Mg forward tor g ul d the Reunion and says that she has been following the arrangements which are be- ing completed. She goes on to say that "I ani interested and Plan On being present for at least some of the program, "Noticed your item about the school reunions and was wonder- ing if you could tell me what day SS No, 10 Tuckersmith plan on meeting, as I attended grade school there many years ago", All the school reunions irr'e Seaforth Public School and in the rural schools in Tuckersmith and McKillop are being held on Tues- day morning, August 2. W. T. Elliott, of Listowel, won- dered if any action has been tak- en to arrange a reunion of the veterans of the 161st Battalion of the First War. He suggests that those of the Battalion who are in Seaforth; meet in a certain place before the Legion parade and pa- rade together to the Drumbeat' service. Others have suggested that they, too, would like to see a reunion of the 1Glst and an effort is being made to complete ar- rangements so that 'veterans will have an opportunity of getting together. Also writing from Listowel, Adam and Cora Dodds say that they are looking forward to re- newing acquaintances. W. Murdoch Stewart, actuary of the Central Standard Life In- surance Co. of Chicago, in a let- ter to .Dr. McMaster, says: "I am happy to hear the• town of Seaforth is having an Old Boys Reunion this year. It is good to have such a time designated, so that as many as possible of the former residents can be on hand to renew acquaintances. Under such an arrangement a former resident stands a chance of re- newing many more relationships than he otherwise would. In my own case, I am looking forward to seeing many who were my assoc- iates at Seaforth Collegiate." Do you need a PERSONAL LOAN? Our Personal Loan service offers loans for personal needs.
