NOVIDMBER 18, 1952 GOLDEN WEDDING OF ISEAFORTH CONSIDERS MR, AND MRS. S. JOHNSTON/ SUPPLYING WATER TO EGMONDVILLF On Wednesday, November 5, Mr.— and Mrs. Silas Johnston celebrated ' Seaforth Is to study the possibili- their 50th wedding anniversary by a tY of supplying water to residents turkey dinner with their immediate , of nearby Eg-niondville, family which was held in the base-' Many Egmondville residents are ment of the Walton United Church, in dire need of water, Reeve Arthur In the afternoon and evening 150 Nicholson of Tuckersmith informed friends and neighbors called at their Seaforth town council on Monday night when a deputation from Tuck- ersmith Council asked concerning the possibility of Seaforth supplying water, The proposal was that Seaforth sell the water to Tuckersmith at the town 'boundary and Tuckersmith would take it from there in mains to be laid by the township. The work would be done on the same basis as drainage work, and a petition has al- ready been signed asking the town- ship to take some action to provide water. Councillors Andrew Crozier and James Doig of Tuckersmith also spoke. Seventy-five to 100 families in Egmondville are prepared to take water, Reeve Nicholson said. There are 107 families in the village, If water is not available from Seaforth the alternative would be to drill four or five wells and each supply a cer- tain number. At present thirteen families are supplied from Mr. Nor- man 1VIacLean's well. Mayor McMaster and Reeve Sills. of Seaforth pointed out the advant- ages of Egmondville joining Sea - forth, whereby Egmondville would get lower cost hydro and insurance as well as water. The deputation said they were au- thorized to discuss water only. Mayor McMaster said he slid not think there is enough pressure to reach the high ground. Councillor Crozier of Tucker - smith asked if there had been talk of putting a new tank up on the high land in the southwest corner of the town. Councillor E. Daly proposed that the town get expert advice on the feasibility of Seaforth supplying wa- ter to Egmondville and this was fin- ally agreed upon. All members of Seaforth council were present for the regular Novem- ber meeting except Councillor Crich, Mayor McMaster presided, Chairman Fred Willis of the Pub- lic School Board and Trustee Cliff Broadfoot were present to ask if council had any ideas re disposal of the old public school building.The Mayor said the town would be inter Loon. ested in having it occupied and men- tioned that one firm was definitely interested. Asked if the building would be available the first of the year, Mr. Willis said the contract- ors still say so, but would say it would be Easter. During discussion of water -foe Egmondville, Reeve Sills gave some historical facts. This had been talk- ed about fifty years ago when Sea - forth first put in a waterworks, and it was to get Seaforth water that the old woollen. mill had been built with a few feet in Seaforth instead of all in Egmondville. Later, after the Kruse fire a petition had been largely signed for amalgamation with Seaforth. Nothing came of it because of a counter petition. Councillor Doig said that the en- tire cost of the water system at Hensgll including well had not ex- ceeded $96,000. Standpipes are not needed in small municipalities where a pressure system is used, he claimed Reporting for the streets commit- tee, Gouncilior Daly said normal maintenance and preparing for win- ter had been done. He inquired about winter storage for the grader to keep it quickly available for snowplowing. A place at Hesky's might be available, or an engine cover and electric heater might W. I. EUCHRE solve the difficulty. Councillor Sillery said tax arrears had been reduced during the month. The oft -recurring problem of what to do about getting a property on Side .street cleaned up occupied some time. Council learned that the County Health Unit had secured a court order last year ordering the place to be put in proper shape but no further action had been taken. Council moved to ask the Health Unit to follow through on this mat- ter. Councillor Sillery asked that another premises on the west side The November meeting of the Sea- of Main street be included' also. forth Ministerial Association will be Reeve Sills advised council that held in the Brucefield United Church he was leaving in abeyance the mat - o» Tuesday, Nov. 18th at 10 a.m. ter about a milk bylaw.

He was editor of the text, "Using Our Language." Mr, Edwards' talk was on common problems in the classroom, particu- larly in the primary field. Teaching. a child to read is about as big an educational job as there is any place in school, Mr. Edwards said. He offered helpful suggestions to the teachers on the use of books, , and told of the system in use in Hamilton schools to determine where a new pupil is in his reading by use of a sheet which gives equiva- lent levels in various basal systems. He' dealt briefly with' the English and arithmetic programs. He was convinced a child can work problems from Grade 2 instead of being con- fined to memorizing multiplication tables and other facts. Mr. Edwards regards teacher -par- ent relations as important and sug- gested that two conferences :between teacher and each parent during the year was ideal, one in September ,and another in February or March. In the past the home has been ex- cluded from the school to too great an extent, he believed. A new report Lard for Stratford and Perth schools was shown. It is e b a L T S 5 M ased en the new report card adop t- d for Toronto schools -and the eachers were favorably impressed c y the new card he reported.
