Following bankruptcy of Sea - forth Creamery near panic has developed when notices were re- ceived by locker renters order- ing them to vacate by Thursday or Friday of this week. There had been a rush to secure space in lockers in neighboring places and all available space was quick- ly taken by the early birds. Space in private freezers was also taken up, One man said he had $300 worth at moat in his locker and there were many others with quantities stored. "Wo could not stand by and see their meat thrown out into the street,” the Mayor said, 20 people had pleaded with him at one time, He had asked the receiver for assurance that the lockers would not be emptied out. There is not a deep freeze left in the area, he said. By letting electric power re- main on for a reasonable time a stay of grace would avoid hard- ship. Apparently the only persons to receive the official notice were those in arrears on locker rentals. Those who were paid up had not received notice because only a list of the arrears had been gi- ven to the receiver last week, and by some misunderstanding they were the only persons noti- fied. Councillor Flannery said he was sorry to see the creamery close up. Councillor Cardno said it was tho way 00 all creameries, the big fish eating the little ones. Mayor Daly said it had been Suggested that the Co-op should put in a bid. There had been lit- tle or no warning. Councillor Rivers said the lock- ers were a paying concern, if the creditors would be willing to op- erate under a receivership. There are around 680 lockers and not less than 625 have been always in use during the last 10 years. Councillors decided that town solicitor, P, D. McConnell, repre- sent the town at the meeting of creditors in London on Thurs- day at 2.30 p.m. The Mayor said Mr. Kime had stated that he was only acting according to the procedure of law which he had to fulfill. He also said he had handled three previous locker bankruptcies and none of then had ever opened again. Councillors thought it was too bad the renters had been order- ed to move out before anyone had a chance to offer to continue to operate it. Councillor Turnbull suggested that the Chamber of Commerce should try to rent it and be responsible, with town backing. People would shop in the town where their locker was located, and lack of locker ser- vice would prove a loss t0 busi- ness. Councillor Cardno thought the creditors' meeting would be a battle between the two large creditors, the bank and the form- er Mrs. Besse. Councillor Rivers said she had been here two months ago and realized her mortgage was on the building only, others having the mortgage on equipment. Mayor Daly said: "We are sticking our necks out by not pulling . the switch now. It is not just a mat- ter of leaving on hydro, we must first have permission of the credi- tors to run it to the end of the month even," Mr. McConnell had represented the town in the Turgeon case, and also Bell's in which the credi- tors had permitted' carrying on the business. THE LEGION CORNER By ,Tack Holland Well, Armistice Day has come and gone for another year and I am sure it will linger long in our memory as one of the larg- est and best parades the Legion has had in years. After a brief religious service at St. ,James' and the Legion auditorium the parade moved off to the cenotaph at 10.45 under parade marshall Bill Wilbeo and was led by the Seaforth Highlander's Band. Al- though our marching pace is not as limber as yesterday the spirit was still very much in evidence among the ranks, Our Legion president Archie Dobson presided at the cenotaph service and be- fore dismissal thanked elle Leg- ion members and the citizens of Seaforth who attended the ser- vices. The Ladies' Auxiliary pro- vides n. fine pot luck supper which was enjoyed by all, Chuck 'Woods informs Inc that the jackpot tor this Sat, nite's bingo is worth over $60 so you bingo fans, a word to the wise is sufficient. And our annual turkey bingo is being held on Nov, 30, a good date to keep in mind to stock up your Christmas dinner with a Prize bird. So we'll wind up this week's news with a thought for our fallen co1115405, AT LOCKER Town Decides to Buy Used Tractor All members were present at 1110 November meeting Of council on Monday night and Mayor Daly presided. Chairman P. L. Brady of the nuance conunittee reported ev- erything under control. The tax arrears had gone to the town sol- icitor and are now ready to be sent to the Dept. of Municipal Affairs. It had been found that in two cases the names on the assessment roll did not corres- pond with the names registered at Goderich. One was an estate and the other under an agree- ment of sale. At a meeting of the finance committee it was bolt that the town could afford at this time to discuss purchase of a truck and tractor, Enough money had been saved out of streets to swing a second hand truck and look for a suitable tractor. Chairman Nelson Cardno of the fire and water committee said a total of $300 had been spent on equipment for the fire department and they are now in good shape, He had nothing to report from the industrial committee, For streets, Chairman Thorpe Rivers said a catch basin had been put in at Top Notch, catch basins were cleaned, patching and gravelling done on streets, drain cleaned on Market street, new sidewalk at the bank and at the separate school, and snow fence erected on the road to the dump. Councillor Neil Bell, property chairman, said a few inquiries had conte in about the old truck. He Passed on a request for dos- ing off a section of Main street for two hours at the time of a Christmas parade. Reeve Ball said there was no- thing new from the relief com- mittee. The police report was read by Mayor Daly with routine facts. Chairman John Turnbull re- ported nothing new for the sew- age committee. No further word had conte from the OWRC and it was not known if they had call- ed for tenders. Approval of the sower project as a winter works project had been received. Coun- cillors checked that letters had been received re having the work started first on Goderich street and also that prefernce was to be given to Seaforth sewer tile. It was felt that the OWRC would notify council when they called for tenders, Councillor Flannery, parks co- mmittee chairman, said leaves were raked from around the cen- otaph before remembrance day. Council authorized purchase of a set of the revised statutes of Ontario, 1960 at $44.00. A letter from the Lake Heron zone recreation council president, Norman Greenwood, reminded council of the urgency of making sure their arena is in safe condi- tion. Council felt it had been in- spected last year and repairs had been made by Mr. Rivers. Glued trusses were the big danger, and such were not used here. A letter from the Canadian Un- derwriters pointed out the need of replacing a heating element in the sprinkler system at the old shoe factory. A letter from the Seaforth Ministerial Association signed by Rev. D. Leslie Elder, chairman, and Rev. S. C. Britton, secretary, called attention to a "consistent breach or the Lord's Day Act" Councillor Brady suggested the advice of the solicitor be sought and advise the offenders a com- plaint had been received. Mayor Daly said his impression was that someone had to make a specific complaint. In this let- ter no one was specified, does it refer to service stations, cigarets or what? We all know who they mean, but it was very vague, Councillor Flannery said that he had been told it is a police matter anal not a council matter. If the police need advice they can get it from the crown attor- ney. Mayor Daly said at Grand Bend charges had been laid against two specific places, although many more wore operating. The two places had been fined and went on operating. If there is a breach of the law a specific complaint should be lodged with the police, and not with council, the councillors de- cided, The bylaw setting the date for municipal nomination and elec- tion Was given its readings and passed. Nominations will take place on the last Monday in No- vember, the 28th, and an election if necessary will be on the first Monday in December, the 5th. Nominations will be held from 7,30 par to 8.30 pm. Election time will be tram 9 am. to 6 pm, Polling places and officials were tentatively set as last year: Polls Nos, 1 and 2, at Teall's gar- age; Norma, J. Sills, duo., Mrs, A, W. Dunlop, poll clerk; Polls Nos, 3.4, at publics library, with 1Ie'b Trapnell, duo, and Helen Bolton poll clerk; Polls 0.0, at Clarke's garage, with D. L. Reid, deo. and Mae Watterworth poll clerk. Commit talked over Mi'cliase of a tractor and all agreed that Driver Thrown Out, Car Hits Building Extensive damage resulted at 12.30 early Sunday horning when a 57 Ford convertible driven by Francis Jessome, 25, crashed into the B -A service station on Coder•- lch Street a block west of Main Street. The car is owned by his father, Ray Jessome, who oper- ates a restaurant in the former Queen's Hotel, According to police, Jessome was making a right turn when the door opened and threw him out, The oar continued on and crashed against the building and then rolled back. Luckily Jess - cane was not in its pant as the vehicle came back, Chief of Police Hutchinson and Constable Calder were nearby and came to the scene when they heard the crash. They termed the accident a "freak" one. Damage to the car was estimated at 31000, the whole front being bashed in, although the head light lenses were un- broken. Damage to the building was set at $500 and later estimates may make it higher. The service station, owned by the oil com- pany, was rebuilt this past year. Police took Jessome to the hospital where a cut was sewn up by Dr. Gorwill. He also suf- fered some bruises.

County Library Future Possibility The public libraries of the county niay reorganize in the not too distant future on a county- wide ountywide basis, Mayor E. Daly told council on Monday night, The change would be made under the library act of 1959 amendments. We have a good library here in Seaforth, he explained, but its usefulness would be expanded. Smaller libraries would benefit to an even greater extent. It would provide an opportunity to have larger quantities of books available. There would be no fees and a person could go to the li- brary in other places in the coun- ty and secure a particular book, Under the new set-up library Properties would be taken over by the county in most cases, al- though maybe not in the case of Seaforth. The mayor said there is noth- ing definite so far. This would be an advance over the present trav- elling library operated by the county, There would be trained personnel at the head of it, pro- viding the same qualified opera- tion of a city library. This would be made available through the size of the combined operation on a county basis. Government grants would be increased under this system, he said. HARVIE J.
