One freshman crawled up Victoria St. on hands and knees while a freshette was forced to feed him his lunch, the principal stated, The campus article continued about first year students: "With faces badly scarred with shoe polish and lipstick, they kidded one another and sold kisses for the amusement of their 'superiors' in the school eafe- teria.

PETITION KILLS PARKING METERS IN SEAFORTH ? A petition against parking meters is said to have received practically 100 per support this week from Seaforth merchants, as far as circu- lated. The town council early this sum- mer proposed parking meters as a solution to continued complaints about Main Street parking condi- tions, and passed a motion at last meeting in favor of installing' met- ers. A majority of council apparent - believed the plan was acceptable, as little opposition had been ex- pressed up to that time. Revenue to the town was estimated at $1,000 a month. Merchants now say meters would drive business to neighboring; towns, particularly as Mitchell and Clinton have not joined with Seaforth (11 the plan. One business man puts it this way: There is a parking problem, but customers aro coming to Seaforth who threaten to ere if we g •o elsewhere ti b put in meters. Merchants say the plan will he dropped by council. Hotels Provided Parking Farmers are not all opposed to parking meters, One man who has been coming to Seaforth since horse and buggy days, said to The Seaforth News this week: "We used to pay for putting up the horse at the hotel stables when we came to town. Nobody thought Anything of it. You ask Jack Cum- mings," We asked Mr. Cummings, now at Seaforth weigh scales, who was in charge of one of the local hotel stables forty years ago. Mr. Cum- mings recalls that in the days be- fore prohibition, if a horse did not require feed, there was no charge, but most farmers gave a 5c or 10c tip to the stableman. After local op- tion came in the hotels charged 10c for stabling a driver and 20c for a team.
