Pubi1ahera Office Dept,. Ottawa Hockey Hapn's By Bill TeaII At a well attended meeting following the game last week your present group agreed to continua management of the Jr. B team and I believe all points of disagreement were cleared up. As you know, J. E. Beating won the $100 draw and at the meeting it was agreed that he and 'Mr. Reid •would ac- cept the prize and each have purchased an additional $100 worth of booster tickets. That all may know how our expenses are made up I would like to explain the following ex- pense accounts. Travelling• ex- pense is the cost of (players and coach driving to Seaforth for games and practices, also the cost of taking players to out of town games. This is one of our [biggest expense accounts, but we feel it is cheaper to (bring players in than maintain them in town. (Coaching as you will see is $25 per week, very reasonaible we believe since this means be- ing here everylSunday•afternoon and generally four nights every week, two for games and two for practices. Lunch •expense is composed of monies given to players after each game which is $1 at home and $2 away. This is the only 'money given any player (besides driving expenses to the ones who drive here and this is only enough to cover bare expenses for gas, etc. From Lucan, Wing- ham, Goderich, Stratford it is $3 and from Mitchell, Hensail, Clinton it is $2 which We feel is not excessive. (May we again ask our rural friends to try and purchase or sell tickets mailed to them or at least see that they are returned as we must account for all tick- ets out and each ticket is charged to the party to whom it was mailed, To date we have been able to keep even but we now have the additional expense of equipping the minor hockey teams and for this reason we are .going to have additional help thy way of boos- ter ticket sales. I know we have hockey friends who have not as yet purchased their ticket, but intend to do so. It is impossible to contact all, so please do not wait for someone to call. Pollanving is our statement to date: Ticket sales to date ..$1985.00 Vena's release 75.00 Cash donations 42.75 Gate receipts 165.90 Turkey draw 40.75 2'309.40 ;Expense to last week $1009.92 Coaching 25.00 Adv. & stationery ... 62.00 0.11.A 10.00 Telephone 10.15 Lunches 15.00 Travelling 21.00 Equipment-- Juniors Minors .

'Plans were made for Nov. 11 church parade. The mystery prize was won by (Mrs. Alex. Muir and 2nd prize by Mrs. Janet McGregor. It was decided that an exchange of gifts and a spot luck supper would take place at our Dec. meeting. Nominations for elec- tion of officers were taken, el- ection taking place at next meeting.

PRESBYTERIAN C.G.I.T. The 1C .G..I.T. of First Presby- terian (Church met on .Monday 'evening, with the President, Mary Ellen iGorwill in the chair, who opened the (meeting with "Call to Worship".

Seaforth Votes On Sewer Dec. 12th Seaforth ,Council will give ratepayers an opportunity to vote on the Goderich street sew- er at the time of municipal elections on Wednesday, De - ember 12th. The vote will ta'lce place whether there is an elec- tion for council or nat. The sewer extension to the hospital is the same as proposed in coun- cil earlier this year, to cost $37,000, which failed to get the required two-thirds majority of council members. A ratepayers vote would require only a straight majority in order to Carty, A grant of $1400 was made the (Seaforth Athletic Associa- tion to pay off outstanding debts from last season of the Hockey Association. 'Creditors had ag- reed to accept 50c on the dollar to give the new club a 'fresh start. All members of council were 'present .at the regular Novem- ber meeting. ;Councillor E. H. ,Close, who has 'been absent through illness, received a warm welcome back. Mayor McMaster reported that a civic luncheon last Friday in honor of Mr. George Richard- son of Winnipeg, president of the Topnotch firm, who was a visitor in town, had been very successful and a letter of appre- dation from local officials of the firm had been received. The luncheon was held at .Exeter. The Mayor also arranged for a representation from Seaforth at -a meeting in Stratford on Nov. 14th of the Midwestern Development Association. L. E. I'lunsteel, principal of Seaforth District High [School, and C.M. Smith, town represent- ative on the board, were pre- sent and asked council to take up with the pollee about rowdy- ism on the streets at noon and after 4 o'clock in the vicinity of the high school. They informed council that young fellows show off with cars, endangering pup- ils. The offenders are not pup- ils, but dormer pupils, Mr. Plumsteel said. The police had come up a couple of times in response to complaints, but the young fellows kept away when a police car was in the vicinity. "This has been going on for a long time", Mr. Plumsteel stated. "If a •pupil gets killed I will be blamed for not stopping it." W. T. Teall and J. +E. [Lang- staff told the council that with one account for board being paid in Tull, and all others paid 50c on the dollar all old debts for hockey could be cleared away for 41872.95. If 'Chicago had kept their promise of pay- ing '$1000 they had hoped to clear off everything in full. Minor hockey is costing around $500. The Athletic Association has (been breaking about even so far this year with the help of the sale of booster tickets. Around 180 booster tickets have been sold, nnostly in town so far. On the other 'hand, at- tendance at games has been greatly increased by fans (from the country. It was also planned to have minor hockey players help sell booster tiekets and this money would be earmarked for minor hockey expenses. 'Some people would help minor hockey who are opposed to Junior B. A (notion carried unanimous- ly to make a grant of 91400 to be applied on last year's in- debtedness. Councillor Close remarked we have the highest tax rate in On- tario. The +Mayor thought there were some higher, 'mentioning Walkerton. Prank Reynolds, whose farm adjoins 'Seaforth on the west, appeared before council about the open ditch on the south- west corner of town, from L. IHildebrand's house to Mr. Rey- nold's line fence. It had not been .cleaned out for 15 years. Carl Dalton cannot get drainage from his property. The outlet was flat, having only an 8" drop across the length mentioned above. He and IMr. 'Dalton were twilling to co-operate with the town. Councillor (Scott said he and 'Harold Maloney had 'dis- cussed it with Tuckersmith council. It could be cleaned out Tor about 41 a rod and was about 100 rods long. Action was left to the streets committee, Mr. 'Reynolds offering to pay $30 and !Councillor Scott thought !Mr. Dalton would be willing to pay •$20, Seaforth's sharp hvould go on the general rate. (Councillor Scott said he had also talked with 'Tuckeramith council about the drain near Reeve Scoin's home. Tucker - smith is willing to spay half the cost of 16" tile to close the drain. Councillor Leslie reported for the streets committee that four trees had been cut down at the new' Sunoco station and a rotten tree removed near' the Salvation Army. •A (broken tile on Market street was repaired, drains were cleared of roots on Centre and South Main Streets.
