May Council Meeting—Author-
ize Purchase of $12,000 Vic-
tory Bonds
The town council held its ,regular
meeting on Monday evening with all
members present. Communications
included request for membership in
the association of assessing officers,
on which no action was taken. A let-
ter from the Ontario Government
asking that assistance for farmers be
organized in each community to
avoid a food shortage; a letter from
the coal controller, Ottawa, outlining
details of the subsidy for wood deal-
ers and asking that every municipal-
ity see that provision is made for its
own citizens, A local committee,
Messrs. H. G. Meir, John Beattie and
C, E. Smith had been formed to org-
anize help for farmers and they had
already attended a meeting of the
Federation of Agriculture at Clinton.
Council decided to give any co-opera-
tion necessary.
Shortage of wood fuel and pos-
sible sources of supply were discuss-
ed. It was suggested the town should
buy wood besides cutting down dead
trees.
Need for an emergency landing
field near Seaforth was reviewed and
council decided to contact the gov-
ernment through Mr. Golding, M.P.,
about placing of an emergency land-
ing field adjacent to the town owing
to.the great amount of flying and
especially on account of the low fly-
ing which is permitted in this neigh-
borhood. A farm about a mile and a
quarter north of Seaforth was dis-
cussed as a possible site.
- No decision was reached in con- ;
rection with the 24th of May as a
holiday. Council understood there is
divided opinion among the merch-
ants regarding its observance.
