L. met at the !home of Mrs. [Dorothy Rowland, on Wednes- day night, on the eve of her de- parture from [Seaforth. A social evening was spent during which the guest of honor was present- ed with a lovely [cup and saucer by Mrs. Mike Williams, and an address read by Mrs. Maurice Etue. A sumptuous lunch was served .by the executive. In a few well 'chosen words, Mrs, Rowland bhamked .the ladies for ,their gift and good wishes. Mrs, Rowland will move soon to Kit- chane'. Seaforth Rate Rises To 84 Mills Seaforbh's tax rate skyrocket- ed five shills to another all time high of 84.1 mills for public school ratepayers and 77.4 for separate school,' when the 1956 rate was struck on Monday night. These rates were( struck at the regular August meeting with all members [present and Mayor MdM'aster presiding. The increase is due to sewer rate aborting this year, higher county, high school and general rate. Down slightly were the li- brary and public school rates. Council found themselves haunted by deficits ,from past enterprises, while embarking or trying to embark on new vent- ures. A request from the hockey club for help on their deficit of $2,59'4.93 'was presented by John Langstaff. Council deft it over till next meeting hoping someone might think up a way to raise [the money. .4 previous request tram the arena'commission for help on a $4500 deficit also occupied council's attention.' A [debenture issue is being considered to take care of :this deficit. Mayor McMaster read letters re sewer extension from the en- gineer and Municipal Board. Also town should return the de- posit cheque to Mr, [,avis im- mediately, he said, The work should start now, or will cost the town an extra $20,000, the mayor said, es the contractors have said their ten- der was too low. Councillor Jack Kellar thought the town was well rid of the tender if that were tree. He re- called the mess with ,BC Con- struction, reminding council town had to may for engineer's mistakes and make up all losses to 'contractor. • "It would be same thing over again," he said. "The •contraetor doesn't lose, because taxpayers have to make it up." The mayor said hospital is un- able to go ahead with installing a modern +laundry until they .get sewer connection. ;Reeve Scorns countered that automatic washers use suffici- ent water to flush present drain, in fact it would (benefit the drain. The mayor agreed that tax rate next year will probably be 90 mills if we get the sewer, pay off hockey and arena defi- cits and go ahead ,with town hall alterations. The mayor said a request could be sent to the Municipal Board for a hearing to be held at Seaforth to force the sewer extension 'without a vote of the ratepayers. However this would cause delay and work could not start this year. Councillor Kellar thoughtthe whole town should be done so everybody could benefit from the sewer. People are now pay- ing the sewer tax who may never get any [benefit, and some will have to go to expense for new cesspools too, "It should be put to a vote and let the people •decide," he said. Some on Goderich street don't want the sewer. Reeve Scoins said 'there should be equal rights for everybody. Frank Kling was named su- pervisor to work with property committee on remodelling town hall, work to start immediately. Town's share is estimated at 312,000, but some 'councillors refer to it as a $40,000 project before completion. RIBS FRACTURED Another vote on the 'Goderich Samuel Cudmore, .84, of Kip- street sewer extension failed to get the required 75 per cent ani- jority, Reeve Scoins and (Coun- cillors !Ohris'tie and Kellar vot- ed no, with Councillors Leslie, Scott, Habkirk and 'Close vot- ing in favor. 'Building permits confirmed: George Broome, residence on Mill street, cost $6,000; and El- mer Lorene, alterations to store front, cost $500. pen, formerly •of [Seaforth, re- ceived several 'fractured nibs on Monday when he fell 12 feet from •a ladder which split as he stood on it trimming evergreen trees in his yard. He was attended by Dr. E. Markus, of Seaforth [Clinic, and was reported resting comfort- ably at his home later, 4-H SWINE CLUB A joint meeting of the Sea- fortlh 4.11 Swine Club and 'Brussels was held at the farm of Ken .Stewart on August 2 with a good attendance.

Legion to Build Hall On Main Street Seaforth Branch Cana- dian of the Cana dian Legion intend to build a Legion hall on the corner of Main and Huron streets, across from the Dick house. This was announced by Legion President, John Holland to Seaforth coun- cil on Monday night. • The Legion is seeking to get clear title to the corner lots, Which were granted to them by the town for this purpose short- ly after World War II. Plans for building were tem- porarily suspended when the 'Legion became associated with the Memorial Community Centre and had rooms there. The executive now have de- cided to go ahead with a build- ing of their own. The ground floor would be an auditorium with dance Door. The basement would have a huge kitchen, with dumb waiter to auditorium, re- creation room and canteen for Legion members. Proposed size of the new hall is 40' x 80'. [Construction of the building is indicated tentatively as cement [block 'construction with glass block front of pleas- ing appearance. Parking space will be provided at the rear. According to an unconfirmed report, the former Salvation Army hall has been considered as a possibility to be :used /or part of the new hall. However officials say there is nothing de- finite. Financing of the project is nob expected to take the form of public subscription, but might be by the sale of car raffle tickets, A Legion gift of $10,- 000 to the community centre when it was built, included a $5,000 hall donation trots the town of Seaforth, A general meeting of the Le- gion will be [called ' soon to con- firm details and final plans.
