Police EgmondvlIle ? • Councillor Baldwin said there k might be a request from Tuclret•- te' smith to police Eginonclville, and ►• ' an understanding was reached: with the police that if such a re- p quest were made the town could accent it. ,Also Mr, Baldwin ask- ed that tin officer be on duty all night, not just on eall after 4 or 6 am, The chief said he would arrange this to suit council. The chief said the police car is in re- pair shop again. He didn't know if the ear was a lemon, but the dealer said it had given more trouble than all the other 80 units sold last year. Explaining why the officers sometimes patrol the roads sur- rounding Seaforth at night, Mr. Hutchinson said they had been warned that safe crackers were out. Any strange car on' a back road became suspect in the early morning hours, It was a fact that most criminal activities were per- petrated at week ends, he said. 5 ► ► k. • Propose Cemetery Commission Councillor Brady said a meet- ing was held last week in the town solicitor's office when Rev. Father Sullivan and others had been present to discuss the pro- posed cemetery commission, St. James' congregation was inter- ested in joining the plan and de- tails had been talked over. Mr. McConnell will check what other towns are doing and also consult the Dept. of Health. He will then draw up some type of agreement. The various churches would then be able to discuss it, a meeting could be arranged and if progress warrants, a bylaw could be drawn up. Councillor Brady had also asked the present cemetery sec- retary for suggestions. Mr. Si11- ery had mentioned that a $1,000 loan made to the cemetery by the United Church some years ago should be repaid before the plan is started. A grant of $100 was made to the Chamber of Commerce, $25 membership paid to Scott Mem- orial Hospital Board, and a $50 grant made to the Salvation Army hone at London. A letter was read from the county clerk, re- porting that the county solicitors had advised that action re the CTA should not come from the county council, but from the Mo- deration League. Daylight saving discussion ended with action laid over until March. Indications were that as much confusion as ever would exist unless the mu- nicipalities take joint action. Extends Thanks The Editor of the Seaforth News, Dear Sir: On behalf of the Huron County Ttebercudosis Association I would appreciate your publication of this letter in your newspaper by way of extending thanks to all who have helped make our 1958 Christmas Seal Campaign a suc- cess to date. We appreciate the generosity of ,those who, by their contributions, are assisting in the control of this dread disease in our County. Such contribu- tions finance Mee chest clinics monthly in five County Centres, and an educational program in promoting same. The present campaign ends 'February 28th and it is hoped that enany of the 6,500 residents of the County who have not yet sent in their contri- butions will .do so ibefcre that (late, hi order that our work need net be curtailed. The officers of the Association (would particular- ly like to thank all volunteers who helped in preparing the seals for distribution, the postmasters and their assistants in deliver- ing the seals. The officers of the Association also want to thank Yon, Mr, Editor, .for .the publicity Mat you have ,IIroely given thi's important cense. 11, Glenn 1 -Heys, Q..C., President, Unroll County iwborctilosis Aeoo- elation, HULLETT On Feb, salt 14 a'dul'ts of the Fireside, Farnh.Foru9hi met atthe h ome of Mr. and Mrs. JIM 'How' at to discuss high cost of farm management. 1) Farm enaclliinerY istoo costly compared 'whit price of 'farm prioduets. The met of ' op- erotion depends 'largely on the operator. Sonne men are careless and foolish In operating, upkeep -and ,repairing of their machin- ery; some Invest large sums and use bite .machinery only a few days in, a !year; some do not try to learn proper use and care a costly machine requires. (2)a We are not in favor of co-operative ownership and many a fine friendship has been ruined that way, All 'mi'ght want the machine on the same ,day. We believe it much, wiser for 2, 3 or 4 neigh- bors to work together during parts of .the year, each one own- ing, •operating and repairing a different necessary 'nhaohine; the others could pay cash for his services or return the time by ,buying and operating another implement, In this way the ma- ohine es used 'moo's, 'bhe east of production to each farmer I lower; each has less money tied up in m'aohinery and in each case tihe owner is responsible for upkeep, (B) Some farm machin- ery ds more versatile than others. The wise use •of it for any pur- pose 'other than intended by the manufacturer, ehould depend on the knowledge oO the ,operator. it could be an expensive experi- ment. The' mice of repairs is .much too high. Many dealers and salesmen have little knowledge •of their ,machines. The manufac- turer should ,impart this knowl- edge to their salesmen. 3. We are not in favor of government licensing of •dealers or testing regulations. We think this shcald be the responsibility of the man- ufacturer. The •less competition among .dealers the 'higher the price. 4. Id repetre for European type 61 equipment mrere available we think there should an outlet for their 'machines. Some farm- ers who own them 'think ,highly of them. •Oliver Anderson invited the group for next week. Iligh. Mrs, R.

Town of Seaforth Re Dog Proclamation In• view of the disregard by the general public of the recent proclamation issued by the Town Council re the confinement of dogs, and the fact that they are not to run at large at any time, the Council feels that charges must be laid under this By-law. Any owner or harborer of a dog who allows it to run at large can be sum- moned into court. The fine in a case of this kind could be $50.00 and costs, The Council and myself Would ask all citizens concerned to comply with the laws and avoid the consequences. B. F.

WHITE CANE WEEK Thousands sof .blind Canadians, housewives, 'merchants, business and professional people, are em- phasizing their role in life 'dar- ing White Cane Week, from Feb. 8111 to Feb. 14011. They have adopted the theme "True VIsion Lies Behind ,the Eyes" for the week, .illustrating that, :seeing without sight is ttheir achievement. "This theme expresses the sec- ret of every blind person's suc- cess," said J. H. Kinkead, 'chair- man of the Goderich-Huron Ad- visory Dcard'eeblhe. Canadian Na-. tional Institute for the Blind. "Some blind• persons almost' see," bir. Kinkead observed "When you consider sight as a means of .:conveying ,ideas to the Mind, you !realize. dt ds only one of firve senses; each doing the job in a different Way." This mental:; vision, enables bllma::pensens M. do some wonder- ful thing Teri blind studente are • eurrbi tly studying in Cana- dianeffnivensities.

Around bhe campus, they judge their distance 'fr'om a building by the echo of sounds. The sound of footsteps d'lsolose a man or 'wo- man, and sometimes indicate age. Mr. Kinkead told how a mark- et ,gardener lost his sight and carried on his lbuedniess through his own initiative and specially designed t000h devices, He con- tinued to operate his green- house and to keep up his orders as well as he had done before. , "His reputation is top's with customers today," Me. Kinkead said,. "And it was built through that inner vision which came to his aid to defeat this handicap.' BRUCEFIELD Our W.

DISEASE OF SWINE This condition is so termed be- cause of the (veli defined post monlem findings seen in the ma- jority of the pigs which die. Ed- ema disease of swine is •caused by a germ that is closely related to the white scour germ which affects younger pigs. It is pres- ent in the digestive tract of most pigs and anything that upsets the normal digestive processes in the .pig 'may touch off an attack of gut edema. Most commonly the disease is associated with chang- es of feed, or lack .of 'water and ,feed so that (the pigs !become ex- cessively thirsty or :hungry. These conditions may create the neces- sary digestive upset and lower the animal's resistance to the in- fectious agent. According to the 'Ontario VeterinanIT College the disease' usually oeours between eight and !fourteen weeks of age and is most common just alter weaning. The symptoms shown occur ov- er a !period of a few !hours. The Pigs lose appetite and develop a staggering gait. The eyelids be- come swollen and the swelling may extend over bhe' forehead. • DALTON'S WHITE ROSE - SERVICE STATION EXPERT LUBRICATION WASHING - TIRE &BATTERY SERVICE ARC & ACETYLENE WELDING TRY OUR SERVICE MURRAY DALTON The Mail Who Knows Ph. 774 Sell White Rose Refresh with milk Take a "milk break" whenever you need a quick "lift."
