INITIATIONS AND JEANS
RAPPED SY PRINCIPALS
School initiations have been se-
verely criticized by Mr. Howard
Kerr, Principal of Ryerson Institute,
Toronto, and son of Mrs. James Kerr,
Seaforth, Another o a also
s n was
prominent in the news last week,
Mr. Leslie Kerr, principal of Malvern
Collegiate, who decreed against boys
wearing jeans to his school. Parents
sided with Principal Herr, and jeans
are out, A Toronto paper says:
A charge of "sadistic tendencies,"
arising from initiation shenanigans
in the past two days, is being levelled
at Ryerson Institute of Technology
sophomores by its principal, I-Ioward
H. Kerr•.
IIe threatened to abolish the an-
nual affair, suggesting that for those
who like that sort of behaviour "we
can hold a separate initiation cere-
mony in the basement next year on
a voluntary basis and out of the
way."
Mr. Kerr charged freshmen at the
school were being forced to"suffer
shameful indignities"' "miss claaases
and humiliate themselves by travel-
ing city streets in pyjamas."
In an interview printed in the
campus paper—Tho Ryersonian— he
said indignant phone calls from par-
ents touched off his statement. 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. They had to clean shoos and
cars, blow up balloons until they
burst in their faces and slop head
first down four flights of stairs on
their hands and knees."

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.
