HISTORIC "REC.! GROUND
The Seaforth town council held

Monday evening. Important business
included setting a price on the vacant
lot a the former public school pro-
perty, and for the recreation field,
All members were present, and
Mayor Dr, McMastor presided,
The mayor said Barrie had been
asking for a government subsidy on
sewers and he had inquired about
it. Government officials had assured
him there was absolutely no chance
of a subsidy. The mayor said, how-
ever, that the manhole covers, chlor-
inator, pumps and fittings, which all
come from the States, would not
have to pay customs and sales tax.
Councillor Close gave a lengthy
report for the streets committee.
Numerous drains had been opened
up. He thought a drain should bo put
in on the street by the Co -Op mill.
24 trees that were dead 'or dying had
been removed. The blinker light
needed new "insides" again, at cost
of $37, Alex Bethune had asked fox
another light on Sperling street, said
Mr. Close. Council agreed, Lights
cost $29 a year. Mr. Close asked for
a ruling on connecting to town
drains. Council decided that if tho
town drain was across the road from
the property it was up to the owner
to pay the cost of crossing the road-
way.
Mr. Close asked council about try-
ing out asphalt sidewalk for the new
walk to bo placed at the west end of
Market street far the new public
school. Cost is $2.50 square yard, it
is 2 inches thick, and is placed on
gravel laid by the town. Sidewalk will
be five feet wide.
Mayor McMaster announced that a
Coronation tree would he planted in
the park.
The Mayor said arrangements had
been made with Peter Eisenbach for
three dozen small trees for planting
on the town streets.
The Mayor said the town had no
flower beds- For a beginning he sug-
gested flower boxes on the steps and
windows at the town hall.
Councillor Close asked about a
sprayer for filling in pot holes on
the streets with tar.
Councillor Christie said he thought
there was something wrong with the
drain on the east side of Sparling
street. Councillor Close said there
were several drains that were due
for overhauling.
Councilor Sharp, reporting for the
property committee, said a bulldozer
had cleaned up the dump pretty well.
He said Mr; 'Wilson, owner of adjoin-
ing property said tin cans had got in
the forage harvester. Council agreed
to put up 20 rods of woven hog fence
to stop cans blowing through the
fence. Council decided to divide the
clump in half, and only use half the
dump at a time. This might reduce
bulldozing. Reelie Scoins said Gus
Johnston had asked him for permis-
sion to dump garbage from the Clin-
ton air school at the dump. Council
decided that it would he better for
Mr. Johnston to get a farmer's pro-
perty nearer to Clinton.
Councillor Scott asked if the town
owned the cordwood stored at Re-
gier's. Town Clerk Wilson said the
town had owned the wood when it
was brought here during the war but
had- immediately sold it to Mr. Re-
gier.
To Sell Lots
Councillor Christie said he had
been asked if the town would sell
the vacant lot from the former public
school property, and also the recrea-
tion grounds on south Main Street.
Council decided to set a prige of
$500 for the public school property.
There were really two lots in this
property, the mayor said, but it
would be sold as •one. There was
considerable discussion about the
drainage at the recreation field. The
mayor suggested it should be sur-
veyed. `Councillors thought it would
contain sixteen lots 58' by 150'.
Council set a price of $50 a lot malt-
ing $800 for the block.
Daylight Saving
Daylight Saving was passed to
agree with .other towns, starting
A.pril 26, and ending Sept. 26.
The mayor suggested doing some-
thing for the hockey boys. $200 was
voted for jackets.
A bylaw was passed selling a
former street allowance at the edge
of the town to 11. J. Boussey.
Public Hearing
A letter from the Municipal Board
to the town solicitors outlined the
steps necessary far a public hearing
in connection with the sewage sys-
tem. The letter said council should
draw up a bylaw with the proposed
rates for the sewer and its use before
the hearing. Council will get copies
of bylaws from Strathroy and Ayl-
mer as a guide for a proposed bylaw
for .Seaforth. The mayor suggested
that when a working basis for the
schedules and charges for the sewer
was completed, council should ex-
plain the whole proposal to the
people.

ANNUAL MEETING OF

The annual meeting was in the
Clinton town hall. Mr. F. J. Snow,
president, presided. The work of the
year was reviewed and plans made
for next year. Dr, W. C. Sharpe,
Beck Memorial San., in his address,
pointed out the value of the referred
elinics .and X-rays on admission to
hospitals.
"If you wait for the person to
have symptoms of TB, you have
waited too long", Dr, Sharpe said.
One person in 1500 may require
treatment, and unless that ease is
treated the disease will spread.
He pointed out the value of the
work a county association can do in
' TB education, and in rehabilitation
of patients. Many people on leaving
the San have a better future in pros-
pect, because of vocational guidance.

yearly, being. stressed. Mrs. Hoff.
man took the topic, "Every privilege
carries a responsibility". She said, in
our country, we have many privil-
eges which we should appreciate,
privileges of worshipping God in the
church of our choosing, education,
voting and many others. We are apt
to take the privilege of worshipping
God too much for granted, simply
because we have not known a time
in our country when going to church
has ever been forbidden. In the priv-
ilege of education, never in the hist-
ory of Canada has there been such
opportunity for education and ad-
vancement. When we consider the
matter of voting, do we realize that
we share in the destiny of our
country? The meeting closed by sing-
ing hymn 267 followed by the Miz-
pah Benediction. A delicious lunch
was served by Mrs. Lawrence and
Miss Ethel Beattie,
