Churches Take Part
In Sector Project
The congregations of First
(Presbyterian IChurch and North-
side United Church recently
completed a Stewardship visita-
tion of. all their members in-
volving more than 600 separate
calls in and around Seaforth.
Together with 10 other con
gregations in the County of
Huron they participated in this
'Sector" project. ,Congregations
of the Anglican and Baptist de-
nominations were included as
well as other 'Presbyterian and
United 'Church •cthngregait'ions.
This was one of several Sectors
•operating in Canadian Ohurches
this year. Marc(.bhan 200 con-
gregations in all participated
throughout Canada. .The plan
involves a simultaneous visita-
tion of all congregations, plan-
ned and carried out for the most
hart by the men of the church.
'The success of the plan has
been seen in two different ways.
an both the local congregations,
'members committed themselves
to regular, weekly, financial
support of the 'Church, approxi-
mately 25 % in excess of gtvirugs
for 1956. in addition, both con-
gregations have noted a renewal
of interest and re -commitment
of service among the lay mem-
bers of the Church.
In 1667, it is fully expected
that many ,more congregations
twill be participating in this
plan, both locally and through-
out Canada,

ings. (Eleven names were placed

!Clerk Wilson who was returning
officer explained that those

man of the ratepayers meeting

ed. The first speaker was Mayor
McMaster.
:The' mayor said he was sorry
+Councillor Close was unable to
continue his work on council
owing to f11 health. 'Councillor
Close had been in charge of the
street work for years and the
streets were a tribute to his ef-
forts.
The mayor said conditions in
town are much better than a
year ago. All the industries
were working.
The mayor said Topnotch
Feeds had carried out extensive
additions and further ones were
under consideration, The Mid -
Western 11evelopiment Associa-
tion had got under way this
year and he nvas one of twelve
on the committee.
The tax rate is high said the
mayor, too 'high, and he saw no
solution for it until the town
got more industries and with
them more people to carry the
load of expenditures necessary
for the town's development. Tho
citizens of the town }rave to
play their part in selling the
town to new industries. Each
citizen in his or her own way
may have the opportunity to
play an essential part through
some small act of simple court-
esy or kindness to a stranger.
The mayor said a waitress in a
restaurant in !Stratford over-
heard a group of men discussing
locations for a new industry
and phoned civic authorities.
This industry is now located in
Stratford, the mayor said.
He said the town has an op-
tion on 35 acres of industrial
land in town, and while the mat-
ter has not been decided it is
under consideration by an in-
dustry at present.
The mayor reviewed .the
question of running a sewer to
the hospital and the necessity
of getting it laid before the
highway on ,Goderich street was
paved. .He was sorry the work
had not been done this year as
it would .cost more next year.
The mayor said the provincial
police had, done a very good job
and the town's crime record was
low compared to other towns,
He said the cost was lower than
other towns of the sane size.
In conclusion the mayor said
he had been 10 years on council,
six of 'them as mayor. He
thought a lot had been. accomp-
lished. He said the work of
mayor in town required con-
stant attention and much time
away from town, a lot at one's
own expense,
!Reeve Norman Scoins said he
had been chairman of the fin-
ance committee, which :found
unpaid taxes a problem. At pre-
sent there nvas $31,000 in un-
paid taxes for 1956, and 333,-
000, unpaid in previous years.
The reeve said he had served on
the county home committee of
the county council, He had at-
tended the county home con-
vention held at Welland this

hone at 'Clinton, and that in
five years it would become the
county hospital for old people.
The reeve said he had served on
the children's aid committee of
the county council and it was a
tremendous work for good.
Frank Kling, chairman of the
MC, said that in the past ten
years the power load had •doulb-
led in Seaforth, It had been
necessary to instal twenty new
transformers to (balance the
load. New street lamps had
been installed at various (points.
Powerful mercury vapor lights
had been placed at the :main in
tersection, and other ones on
South Maui Street. Incandescent
lights were put on James and
(Market (Streets, and it was hop-
ed to complete •Goderich street
east next year. New buildings
were under construction at the
rear of the town hall.
(Councillor Christie said he
was chairman of the fire and
water committee. Tire damage
had been l'igh't this year, about
$6000. Mr. 'Christie explained
his views on the sewer ekten-
sion on Goderich Street and to
the hospital. He asked why the
sewer ran only as far as Ann
St. and what provision had been
made for a sewer further west
on Goderich S't. He said he
would qualify for council,
'Council'lor Scott (Flablcir'k said
he had been chairman of the
