CROP REPORT
Little progress has been made
during the past week in harvest-
ing the remaining acreage of su-
gar beets and corn. Snow and
colder weather have almost put
an end to these operations, Many
farmers are disposing of their
poultry flocks disgusted with
low poultry and egg prices. A
considerable tonnage. of baled
hay is moving out of the north
end of the County at $15.00 per
ton picked up at the farm. Fer-
tilizer dealers report somewhat
decreased advance sales of fer-
tilizer by farmers wishing to
take adyantage of the Decem-
her discount.
The Voice Of Temperance
Roy Rogers, idol of millions of
youngsters, "King of the Cow-
boys", tells why he and Dale
Evans, his wife, don't, drink. "If
1 were asked, 'Roy, why don't
you drink?' 1 think the most
honest answer I could give
would be, '1 don't think it is
necessary'. And I don't. My wife,
Dale Evans, and 1, feel we have
found about as happy a life as
we can hope for, and we have
not found happiness in cocktail
bars, but rather in our everyday
activities." Neva Langley, Miss
America, 1953, goes along with,
Roy and Dale. "It seems so un-
necessary. . . 1 firmly be-
lieve the normal healthy life I
'lave lived is responsible for my
good fortune."-Advt.

Aske Help For Hockey
Mr, Leo Stephenson appeared
on behalf of the Seaforth Ath-
letic Association. There is a
$1200,00 deficit on the junior
team. He did not know whether
they can continue. Up to tonight
$810 had been raised by a can-
vass and a couple of lists' are
still to come in. 231 names had
been selected and given. to 12
canvassers. Mr. Stephenson had
been asked to see if council
would match dollar for dollar.
"If we don't get the money the,
juniors fold up," he said. The
backers willpay off what is ow-
ing and that will be the end.
Councillor Crich said if 'eoun-
cil gives, what is to stop every
organization in town coming for.
money.
Councillor Christie said the
Athletic Association has been
supporting the midgets and ban-
tams and summer baseball.
Mr, Stephenson said it was
hoped that after Christmas the
club would pay its own way. At
present individuals are provid-
ing free transportation for the
team. Crowds have been small,
with 535 largest to date, A 700
crowd is needed to pay own way,
he said. Councillor Christie said
it is grim in all places, small at-
tendances.

Dr. McMaster had insisted on a
vote of the,. people, and he was
right.
Councillor Scott suggested
council make the amount up to
$1200.
Councillor Crich asked about
the curlers buying refrigerant
from the arena, and Councillor
Scott said it was the same
amount as they paid for rental
last year.
Councillor Christie advised
giving $300 now rather than a
higher amount to pay arena
debts later. The minor hockey
is supported by the Athletic As-
sociation.
Reeve Scoins: If we make up
the amount the people will not
contribute any more. Minor
hockey is equipped and can be
carried on except for cost of
rink. This amounts to $35 a
game.
A. loan was suggested. Town
Clerk Wilson gave the 'opinion
that a grant was the only basis

Mr, Gordon A. Wright, repre-
senting the Civic Improvement
committee of Seaforth Chamber
of Commerce, asked Council for
a grant to erect decorative signs
at each entrance to Seaforth. He
submitted a drawing of proposed
sign, showing a cutout of a Scot-
tish Highlander with bagpipes
beside a rectangular sign. Costs
would be 5300 or more, council
to pay half and erect.
Reeve Scoins suggested that
local industries !night welcome
this opportunity for advertising
and might 'bear the entire cost.
Councillors said this was a
good thought and suggested the
C. of C. contact local industries.
Approval of the design was ex-
pressed.
Chairman of finance commit-
tee objected; to the manner in
which sewer•' accounts are being
paid without notifying the fin-
ance committee. He had asked
the committee be notified, and
it was not being done. ,
"1 don't like it," Councillor
Christie said,
Councillor Leslie explained
that he had been away and in
order to keep the work going the
Mayor had, olc'cl some -accounts,
The bills were approved by the
engineer.
'Discussion brought out that
committee chairmen o.k. their
own accounts and payment be
niade by the treasurer.
Councillor Christie and the
Mayor got into heated argument
which had put in more time
looking over the progress of
sewer work, and finally agreed
they were about even.
Accounts for gravel and spe-
cial work on the sewer by 'Looby
and Looby were discussed and
approved, council to deduct
these from the contractor.
Reporting for the streets
committee, Councillor Close said
sanding had been done. Two
tons of salt were bought at God-
erich at $19 a ton to mix with
sand. The snow plows are ready.
Plowing will start when snow is
four inches deep, he said. Mana-
ger R. B. Holmes of the P..U.C,
had suggested leaving the
strings of Iights up on Main
Street as the best place to store
them. Council agreed, and Wish-
ed the lights could be turned on
Saturday nights. This was not
feasible, Councillor Crich said.
The lights being on all day use
the equivalent of thirty street
lights in 24 hours,
Credit for putting up the
lights was given to the P.U.C.

What more thoughtful - more useful- 17101'0 pleasing
gift than an extension telephone! Day after day
it will be a pleasant reminder of your consideration,
for a second telephone in the home stops those
"through -the -house" dashes to reach a ringing telephone,

too, because you can make and take calls in a quiet
room away from the noise and bustle of family activities,
You'd be surprised how little an extension telephone
costs! For just a few cents a day you can nave
another phone placed anywhere you please. You
may pay for it now, for a year in advance, or you
can have the extra cost tacked onto your monthly bill,
WHY NOT CALL our Business Office right now
and arrange to have an extensiontelephone
delivered before Christmas -- attractively
gift -wrapped if you wish,'Ltll ready to place unclor
the tree. We'll connect it right after Christmas.
It's no problem to install another phone if
you already have one, because extensions do
not require separate lines to the exchange.
