SALT INDUSTRY MAY
OPERATE ONCE MORE
The Salt Industry in 'Seaforth
came in for prominence in the daily
press this week with a story about
Seaforth Chemicals Ltd. Actually
organization of this company took
place last February, according to Mr.
M. A. Reid, who is listed as secre-
tary -treasurer, and the directorate
is provisional, for organization pur-
poses only. Belgian and American
capital is understood to be interested
in the project. The article says:
Salt soon will be mined here again,
after bores near the town have laid
idle for the past seven years. Sea -
forth Chemicals Ltd., comprised of a
group of Montreal, Toronto and Sea-
forth businessmen, plans to start pro-
duction by mid -fall.
They hope the recently -formed
company will start with a capital of
between 5800,000 and 5600,000.
Seaforth was the centre of a boom-
ing salt mining industry 40 years
ago, and an attempt to restart min-
ing seven years ago failed due to
high costs.
Introducing a new method of ex-
traction to Canada, Seaforth Chem-
icals hope to produce salt with a
'minimum of labor and cost.
Extensive Government tests in the
area have revealed an unlimited sup-
ply of brine in its purest form.
Engineers of the Ozark-Mahonic
engineering firm, Oklahoma, are
drawing up blue prints for the in-
stallation of the new equipment.
i.. submerged combustion system
each unit is fired by butane gas and
is fully automatic. The heat from the
fired gas crystalizes the salt which
is blown into a silo and fully dried.
The company plans to start with one
unit, which costs $90,000, and later
add others.
The equipment needs only one en-
gineer to operate.
Dr. E. A. McMaster, of Seaforth,
second vice-president of the com-
pany, said today that the daily out-
put from each machine will be about
100 tons. One of the failings of the
company which attempted to re -start
the industry seven years ago he said
was that it used the old drying meth-
od which took a maximum of labor,
and resulted in high costs.
He _predicted a ready market for
Canadian -produced salt, as the coun-
try at present imports large amounts
of the mineral from the United
States.
President of the company is Earl
Elliott, director of a Toronto funeral
home. First vice-president is Norman
Brooke, of Montreal; secretary -treas-
urer, Merton Reid, of Seaforth, and
director of the company, H. L. Rown-
tree, of Toronto.
day, August 2, civic holiday.
A motion was passed that the ten-
tative tax rata be adopted and a tax
bylaw be prepared.
Russell Bolton and Earl McSpad-
den, on behalf of the Seaforth Agri-
cultural Society, asked for the an-
nual grant. They pointed out that
Clinton and Brussels each give their
respective societies 5300. Mr. Bolton
mentioned that the winner of the
Golding trophy here last year in the
county 4-H Club competition, had
gone on to ruin the grand champion-
ship at the Royal Winter Fair.
Mrs. Jos. G1°ummott stated that
the society is planning' to celebrate
its 110th anniversary next year, be-
ing the oldest fair in Iluron County.
Councillor Leslie spoke in favor of
an increased grant because agricul-
ture is the Main industrial support
of our town.
Reeve Scolne and Councillor Close
opposed it because the working man
is carrying e heavy tax load.
On suggestion of Councillor Scott
a grant of $200 was made, as this is
more than any of the townships give.
Mayor McMaster announced that
according to his information, Iligh-
way No, 8 would be torn up this fall
for rebuilding, as far as Main St.
from the west. He thought plans
should be laid for laying sewer pipe
under the road before it is surfaced,
as it would be very expensive after-
wards.
Councillor Christie suggested that
authoritative information be pub-
lished giving facts about the sewer-
age bylaw. He believed if the pub-
lic were acquainted with all the facts
and their questions answered, much
:misunderstanding could be avoided.
The mayor said this would be taken
care of, and that until now there
we instruct the Clerk to advertise
for Tenders on the :Ranking Munici-
pal Drain for the open portion and
for the Tile portion. Contractor to
give a Certified Cheque for 5200,00,
Tenders to be in the hands of the

Of course no one would dream of climbing a telephone pole
without teing especially careful. 'Yet every time you climb a
shaky ladder or stand on a rickety chair you may not realize
what a big chance you're taking. Actually more people have
accidents right at haw than anywhere else.
13y avoiding accidents you save more than suffering and
worry -you save money, too! In a family the size of ours
(we're now over 31,000), these savings are important. That's
why our employees are not only thoroughly trained to use
safety tools and methods, but continually reminded to take
every precaution to avoid injury to themselves and others.

company which attempted to re -start
the industry seven years ago he said
was that it used the old drying meth-
od which took a maximum of labor,
and resulted in high costs.
He _predicted a ready market for
Canadian -produced salt, as the coun-
try at present imports large amounts
of the mineral from the United
States.
President of the company is Earl
Elliott, director of a Toronto funeral
home. First vice-president is Norman
Brooke, of Montreal; secretary -treas-
urer, Merton Reid, of Seaforth, and

day, August 2, civic holiday.
A motion was passed that the ten-
tative tax rata be adopted and a tax
bylaw be prepared.
Russell Bolton and Earl McSpad-
den, on behalf of the Seaforth Agri-
cultural Society, asked for the an-
nual grant. They pointed out that
Clinton and Brussels each give their
respective societies 5300. Mr. Bolton
mentioned that the winner of the
Golding trophy here last year in the
county 4-H Club competition, had
gone on to ruin the grand champion-
ship at the Royal Winter Fair.
Mrs. Jos. G1°ummott stated that
the society is planning' to celebrate
its 110th anniversary next year, be-
ing the oldest fair in Iluron County.
Councillor Leslie spoke in favor of
an increased grant because agricul-
ture is the Main industrial support
of our town.
Reeve Scolne and Councillor Close
opposed it because the working man
is carrying e heavy tax load.
On suggestion of Councillor Scott
a grant of $200 was made, as this is
more than any of the townships give.
Mayor McMaster announced that
according to his information, Iligh-
way No, 8 would be torn up this fall
for rebuilding, as far as Main St.
from the west. He thought plans
should be laid for laying sewer pipe
under the road before it is surfaced,
as it would be very expensive after-
wards.
Councillor Christie suggested that
authoritative information be pub-
lished giving facts about the sewer-
age bylaw. He believed if the pub-
lic were acquainted with all the facts
and their questions answered, much
:misunderstanding could be avoided.
The mayor said this would be taken
care of, and that until now there

pal Drain for the open portion and

Of course no one would dream of climbing a telephone pole
without teing especially careful. 'Yet every time you climb a
shaky ladder or stand on a rickety chair you may not realize
what a big chance you're taking. Actually more people have
accidents right at haw than anywhere else.
13y avoiding accidents you save more than suffering and
worry -you save money, too! In a family the size of ours
(we're now over 31,000), these savings are important. That's
why our employees are not only thoroughly trained to use
safety tools and methods, but continually reminded to take
every precaution to avoid injury to themselves and others.
It's another way we help keep costs down so we can pro-
vide you with the hest possible telephone service at the
lowest possible cost.
