SYSTEM (Federation News) We hear a great deal the last couple of ,years about the high cost of maintaining School areas. There is another side to this development ' that is not so ;prominent but is worthy of mention. A few years ago a farmer's son would attend High School for two or three years and then return to the fawn to snake a lifetime occupation of farming. In those two or three years he developed his ability to think clearly and perhaps obtained a better knowledge on how to approach a new problem, but he learned very little about actual farming and faran problems. I Today we have agriculture taught in. our High Schools. The farmer's son can now acquire knowledge at his own school that a few years ago was only available at the Ontario Agricultural College. This is a great advantage to rural families as the expense of sending a boy to High .School and having him home every night is much less than sending him away to a 'City to, take a short course. We as Poem people should support this change .in our Ilig'h School cur- riculum to the best -of Our ability. Prom time to time impovennents may be made that will make it of even greater value to our families in the future, H we do not give it our tit - moat support we may find it replaced by some other subject that might have greater appeal to more urban minded ed . people. The April meeting of Huron County Federation of Agriculture will be in Clinton on Amrii 18th at 8 p.m, in the Agricultural Board Room. GARBAGE COLLECTION PLANS ALMOST COMPLETE Garbage collection came a step nearer for Seaforth at the regular April meeting of the town council on .Monday evening. The results of a preliminary survey and proposal _for garbage collection were presented in a report of the special committee by 'Councillor Christie. Further action by council will be discussed at a later meeting. All members were present except Councillor (Stewart. (Mayor Keating presided. A cheque for $206 was received by the town from the Province of Ontario as a rebate re Horne for the Aged, based on a recent annendnnent. This is part of the new subsidy policy adopted instead of the former one mill subsidy. Reporting for the streets commit- tee, Councillor Close reported a great many complaints about badly flooded cellars in several areas of town. "M,y telephone was ringing every fifteen minutes," Councillor Close said, "Noah dill a good thing when he built himself an ark," Roads are also in need of immedi- ate repair and on suggestion of Reeve Sills an effort will be made to get a quantity of washed crushed stone brought in at once to fill holes. Councillor Close asked that a mo- tion be passed requesting the Ontario Provincial Police stationed here be Changed inaccordance with the un- derstanding that the police would be changed every two ,years. After con- siderable discussion this was agreed to. Councillor Ross reported for the property committee. Councillor Christie, reporting for fire and water committee read a letter from the fire brigade request- ing dress uniforms at a cost of $1,020, towards which they have $400 on hand. Reeve Sills forecast taxes will be up three or four mills this year and believed the money could be put to better use putting drains in order. Decision was left to the property committee. A request from the -fire brigade for items of equipment totalling $200 and including cellar nozzle, spotlights, etc,, was granted. A building permit was granted to Ball and McCauley of Clinton for alterations to the old skating rink, cost estimated at $4,800. This firm also deposited $200 for business li- cense. Other communications included an- nouncement of a municipal school to be held at Wingllani, !April 20 and London, April 19, to which any of the council or officials could attend. A request was read for informa- tion for tourist guide and a letter from a firm of tree surgeons re a survey of the trees on town streets. A bill from Wiliam Bradshaw for eight hours' work digging his car out of the mud at the west end of Mark- et Street, appeared to Council as "needling". Further information was presented re cost of developing the new "West - dale" subdivision. The cost of laying a four -inch water main 'would be $2849, or a six-inch main $3707. It was decided a four -inch main would. be adequate. Reeve Sills gave figures on cost of the road as estimated by the county engineer. This plan calls for a drain down the centre, at a depth of three and a half feet, drain covered with crushed stone, 1500 yds. of gravel would be required to lay a four -inch gravel base under the road. The tot- al cost of road and drainage would be $5,768, which is less than the pre- vious estimate of $7500. Water mains are extra. Councillor Ross said he did not think all that money should be spent up there. There are three houses for sale now around the hospital, he said. Councillor Seoins pointed out that the town's surplut had been accumu- lated from the taxpayers over a per- iod of years and was it wise to spend this money building new streets when so many streets and drains need repair. The .owner of a lot in town would need to sell for around $300 to get his money out. of it and the- town is offering these lots at 310, he said. Reeve Sills said he was taking the long view. Taxes are going up and the only way we can reduce is to have more homes paying taxes. "I say, take $10,000 out of surplus and do something for the old streets as well," the Reeve said. Town Clerk Wilson stated that no applications had been made yet for any lots in the new subdivision. Public Utility matters were dis- cussed with Mr. A. Y. MacLean, who explained that the P.U.C, accepted. responsibility for the condition of East William St. and it would be put in order as soon as possible.' Council did not concur in a re- quest to issue debentures for $40,- 000 for new substation and other ex- penses relative to conversion to 60 cycle, which included $10,000 for a new P.U.C. office building. A mo- tion finally passed as fellows: E, McMaster, F. 'Sills; that this Connell request approval of the issue of C10. - 000 R0 -000 in debentures to cover exnendi tures as ontlined by the P'iblic TTti1- itv Commi.ssinn namely: Frequency eneversion 515,000; dist, syst, from 22,00 to 4000 v., 35.000: siihstetinn $30,000; made neeessary in view of present ennynrsion from 21 to 00 cvele. With thn exoentior of ,81.0.000 for office bnildin �, It was explained that the new sill, - CONDITION IMPROVING OF WOUNDED BOY Robert King, son of (Mrs. James King of Egmondville, who has been in St. Joseph's Hospital, London, fol- lowing a shooting accident early Thursday afternoon last, is now im- proving and he is able to sit in bed. His condition for a few days was very seriousas the bullet fromm the .22 calibre rifle pierced his chest, entering in front of the right should- er and coming out at the back of the left shoulder, just ,missing the heart. At the time of the accident Robert and his younger brother had got the rifle down while their mother was up town and were playing with it, not knowing it was loaded, as it had been in the home since before the death of their father last fall: The boy was first taken to Scott Memorial Hospit- al and later, owing to his serious con- dition, was removed to London on Friday, JOSHUA JOHN POLLARD The death occurred Monday.

In other years seed was offered for sale by many. farmers who had a surplus, but this year the small quantity available was quickly sold..Poor crops last year is given as the reason for the scarcity.; station will be of the outdoor type like the rural substation just north of Seaforth. and it will be built either on the P.U.C. lot east of Vic- toria Park or on a lot east of the Commercial hotel. It had just been, learned that the high tension line will likely be brought in directly from the new H.E.P.C. 'distributing station east of Seaforth, and will not come in on the existing line from the north.
