DISPOSAL PLANT TAKES SHAPE AS CEMENT POURED Cement was poured last week at the disposal plant, thus bringing Sea'forth's sewer system one step nearer to completion. A visit to the plant near Silver Creek and south of Bell Industries Ltd. on Tuesday morning, found workmen starting to remove the wooden forms from the clarifier, which is the heart of the disposal system. The clarifier is round, 34 feet in diameter, inside measurement, and sits in a pit about 12 feet deep, When the machinery is installed there will be a scraper which re- volves, or sweeps, around the bottom of the clarifier which is slightly lower at the centre than eta:he sides, like an inverted 'bone. A. concrete trough circles the clarifier about half way up, and there will be skim- mer paddles revolving 'at this level on the same shaft which turns the scrapers, The scrapers and skimmers revolve very slowly, once in eight minutes, and require only a half horsepower motor. It was explained that the scrap- ers on the bottom of the clarifier grind everything up and work the sludge to the centre where it is drawn off eat the bottom of the cone through a six-inch pipe. A five h,p. motor will power this pump which carries the sludge to the settling bed which is the next stage. The disposal bed is about 50 feet square and consists of rows and rows of tile. Anything that does not. pass away in this area is returned to a compar- atively small concrete tank called the grit tank, which is fitted with screens. From here the fluid goes back to the clarifier again and the process is repeated. The clarifier is at all times full of water up to the level .of the trough. The trough will be connected to sewer tile leading to the creek to take away any overflow. There is provision for a bypass tile, leading to another tank in case the clarifier is shut off for repairs at any time. It was explained that the disposal plant is automatic in operation and will function without continual su- pervision. No hard work is required -except !occasional cleaning of the screens in. the grit tank. When will the plant be in opera- tion? The weather has already been responsible for much delay. But with good weather the contractor's best guess is it may he ready by •Christ- mas, and that is not far away now. By the time the sewer work is fin- ished the disposal plant will likely be functioning. The •only covered building will be a small cement block structure at the south edge of the clarifier. OFFICERS ELECTED AT NORTHSIDE 5. SCHOOL The teachers and officers of the Northside United Church Sunday School met at the home of Mr.' and Mrs. Sam Scott on Nov, 19, in the evening. There was a good attend - mice. The devotional period was con- ducted by Rev, J. W. Stinson, who later presided for the election of of- ficers. 'Superintendent, Mr, Sam Scott; Treas., Mr. Bev, Christie; Cor. Sec„ Miss Annie Lawrence; Librarian, Mr. Bob. Knight; Pianists, Gwen Christ- ie, Marion Chamberlain, Jean Snell; Missionary Supt., Mr's. Elva Ellis; Temperance Supt„ Mrs, Ferris; Fam- ily Life Supt, Mr. L, Plumsteel; Cradle Roll Supt., Mrs. Snell, Mrs. Christie, Mrs, Leeming, Mrs. Dalrym- ple; Auditors: Mr. Westoott, Mr, Leeming. The Christmas concert is to be held in the Northside Church School on the night of Dec. 17, 1954.

STRATFORD CLERIC SPEAKS AT ELDERS SERVICE Dr. U. Laite, Central United Chnrch,•Stiatford, told the elders of Huron Presbytery that Churchill, Montgomery and' Other outstanding world leaders bad declared that the greatest needs today were spiritual and moral. From these remarks the speaker outlined the part that elders play in promoting these needs. This special service was held in Northside United Church Sunday night with a large representation made up of elders from nearly every charge in the Presbytery. It was sponsored by the Council of United Church Men and its president' Orval Harrison, conducted the service. Wil- liam Jewitt, Harvey Johnston and 'William Currie assisted. Communion was served at the close of the service by Rev. Stinson and elders of Northside after which Dr. Laite conducted a discussion period. GOOD START MADE ' ON SALE OF SEALS The first four days' returns from Christmas Seal letters mailed to re- sidents of Huron County total $416.- 00. "This" said the president of the county TB Association, Mr. Fred Snow,. "is a good start on the 1955 budget for tuberculosis prevention." Although only 144 persons have sent in their contributions so far, Mr. Snow is quite confident that last pear's mark will be rogram for the next 12snonthss is more extensive than we have under- taken before and I'm sure lihe public wants everything possible done to prevent TB and will therefore sup- ply the money for our campaign" he said. Archaeologists believe that the an - cent Egyptians either tried ;to treat TB or to isolate cases because they recognized its infectious nature. So many mummies showing evidence of TB have been found in one place that it would indicate either a sana- torium or an isolation centre. In 1840 Dr. George Bodington, an English physician, opened the first TB hospital of which there are any records. He believed that rest, fresh air and plenty of good food would benefit patients. Though five of his patients improved, there was so much ridicule of his views that he had to close his hospital. PLAN WAYS TO WIPE OUT AGRIC. SOCIETY DEFICIT The Agricultural Society met on Tuesday night. With James M. Scott as chairman, Arthur Nicholson, R. T. Bolton, J. W. Crich and F. J. Snow, were named a committee to bring in recommendations to the next regular meeting of the •Seaforth Agricultural Society on Dec. 28, on 'ways and means' of wiping out the society's deficit and building up a reserve for the 1955 fall fair, which is to be the society's 110th annual event. Invitations are to be extended to the Perth -Huron Shorthorn Asso- ciation and the Ontario. Hereford Association to hold their regional shows in conjunction with the 1955 fair. . John. Talbot, .chairman of the pub- lic school section, reported on re- visions made to that section. Mr. Talbot was given permission to have the lists printed and these will be distributed shortly to the schools in the town and surrounding townships at an early date in order that the work can be done as part of the curriculum 'rather than a rush job just .before the fair. Whether or not to retain classes for heavy and light horses in the 1955 fair was discussed briefly with no decision reached, although last year's 'entries in heavy horses was reported to be the best m years. Some fairs I(Strathroy.for one) was cited as deleting heavy horses from their prize list while Ilderton was •quoted as one society as build- ing up their 'heavy horse classes. The women's division of the fair plan to have their prize list printed early. - MILSON LOVE A quiet wedding took place at Eg- mondville United Church Manse on Nov. 20th when Rev. W. E.
