EMANATION The noun "sanell", according to the dictionary, is the quality of 'anything or substance, or emanation therefrom, which af- fects (Ibe olfactory organs. So it must have been an "emanation" which pervadedthe local 'post office last 'DhursdaY morning. The emanation became so overpowering that a pa re e i awaiting delivery was set out- side by the staff. It was either ;bhem or bhe parcel. 'Curiosity aroused and in pur- suit 'of the ever—elusive item of news, enquiry was made 'at a lo- cal 'Chinese restaurant. Yes, friends in 'Hong Kong sometimes send a package of dried fish. "It is Tor ane, not for (ase customers" chuckled the propri- etor. .

For Storm Victims Financial assistance to farm- ers who suffered ,property 'dam- age in 'bhe storms of May 11, July 1 and July 8 was discussed at a meeting of interested farm- ers, municipal officials sandmen - bees of parliament on Monday niglht at the town hall, ISeaforbh. A committee appointed to make a public 'appeal !for contri- butions to a relief fund is: Ed- win !Chesney of T'uckenamith, chairman, A. Y. McLean, secre- tary; Reeve James Doig, Reeve Dan Beuerman, John M. Eck- ert, .Earl Mills, James McQuaid and a member of Seaforth 'coun- cil. Elston ;Cardiff, M.P. and. Tom Pryde, M.P.P.Iwere present. G. W. IMontgorneay, Ag. Rep. for Huron, presided. Mr. Montgomery said all were thankful there had been no loss of life. The 'agricultural e$gin- eering fiel'dnuan had called at the :majority of farms and offer- ed help and suggestions. A survey of damage had been made by ;Messrs. Pepper and Mc- Cartney, which adds up to a to- tal of $60,000 among twenty farmers. .Harvey Erlaine, C o u n t y ICle'rk and Treasurer, outlined (rhe procedure in the 1953 storm relief for Morris and East Wawanos'h. Total ,damage of $335,000 in the county 'was re- duced to 16190,000 by insurance. Public subscription had raised $3000, the county gave :$10,000, London relief fund $4500, Wat- erloo $500. With aid frown the province and national disaster fund, the total was brought up to $49;000, thus a .payment of about 29c was made on the dol- lar. No payments were made on. losses under $20.0. Toni Pryde, M.P.P. recom- mended awaking personal appeal. Unless 'local people showed their sympathy by contributing first, it weu'id be useless to ask for government aid. Damage had been figured out in 1953 by the county assessor assisted by local assessors. Elston 'Cardiff, M.P. said in 1953 18 ;barns had been a total loss in Morris and 45 in East W'awanosh, Some older men would not have rebuilt without assistance, and some yo'un'ger farmers could not. ,Either way the loss of the buildings was a loss to the community and municipalities. We are celebrating eentennials now, Mr, ;Cardiff said, and lots of .barns are 100 years old. If well kept many are still good. From now on, he warned, we can expect lots of this trouble, and he advised having wind in- surance. He had found one of his own barns ,was shifted two inches on the 'found'ation by powenful winds, but was not damaged'. Reeves Dan 'Beuerman and James Doig promised to give their support to 'whatever action was ,planned by the meeting. Sandy Pepper said he had suf- fered quite a loss To Get Cement Don Harris, Goderich twp., said he had some wind insur- ance. His big trouble was to get cement to start rebuilding. The ;best that any of the 'dealers can do is to put down your name, he said He needed 150 bags to start rebuilding his walls, ;but was told (there was me cement since April. Mr. ;Pryde promised to see right away about making cement availalble to farmers needing it. Morley ,tannin tall of mater- ials being obtained quickly dur- ing the aver -for rehabilitation of fawners. John Lane, McKillop, said he was crateful for $500 raised for him by friends. Mr. Montgomery said that fanners hadbeen hailed out in the Carlow district, but they still had other crops. Loss of ;b'ui'ldings was much worse. Edwin ;Chesney said surely we can do so'methin'g for (these peo- ple, we never know when we may be in bhe 'same situation ourselves. Surely we are big enough to provide help locally, he said. J. M.•Eckart said he had car- ried wind insurance since, 1918, and had been glad of it in 1924. Wind insurance is even snore necessary than fire insurance, he said. • Thankful Troubles Were No Worse Thomas Dorsey, who lives west of Dublin on No. 3 (high- way was offered syanpathy by G. W. Montgomery, Agricultural Representative, at ;the tornado relief meeting there on Monday night. "It is all over," Mr. Dorsey replied, "and 'es long as it didn't kill anybody we are thanktfirl." Added to losing his 'barn in the recent tornado, air. Dorsey lies been the victim of more elian his share of misfortune. A recent windstorm b l e w dawn his TV aerial and scatter- ed s'tee'l and lumber that had been gathered into a pile. Later the same night lightning 'killed one of his cows. On Tuesday ni'gh't of last week one of this beam got out on the railroad track and was killed by She special train returning from the 4-1-1 '01'ub excursion to vNi- agara.

A HOSPITAL AREA 7 Diseuesing :the deadlock in council over the Goderich street sewer, an observer suggested a new approach to 'the problem. Granting that the ;urgency for the sewer is to provide t l rde an outlet for Scott eleanorial Hospital he asks why should bhe entire (bur- den be put on Seaforth, whim already has one of the higher tax rates in Ontario. Is there not some neap of or- ganizing a Hospital 'District, ea- ter the fashion of the 'Iligh School areas, and fire areas. With the cost spread overthe municipa'lit'ies using the hospital it would not be a hardship on any ens. Numerousdetails would have to be worked out to make strch a plan workable, and beyond doubt, some legislation.
