Mayor Edmund Daly told coun-
cil on Monday night that he had
told Mr. Kline, official receiver,
at 0.30 p.m.. that evening that the
Public Utility Commission is
prepared to continue to supply
power to the Seaforth locker ser-
vice till the end of the month, at
least, to ease the situation for
hard-pressed locker users who
have been tinable to secure new
locker space elsewhere.
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

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

age; Norma, J. Sills, duo., Mrs,

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.

CURLING NOTES
• The Seaforth Curling Club ac-
tivities [ivities for the 1960-61 season
were commenced on Wednesday
evening by a pot -luck supper held
in the Community Centre which
was well attended. Needless to
say it was enjoyed by all,
A short business meeting held

club is in a healthy state and
the members were looking for-
ward to a pleasant curling seas-

introduced.
Following the meeting ,lir. Gor-
don Me0avin gave 0 very inter-
esting address and told of his
recent visit to Russia and illust-
rated his remarks with pictures
of the places visited.
The following evening the reg•
uler executive meeting of the
club was held at the club house.
During the past few weeks the
interior walls have been painted
white and the curling ice also,
Which should make it easier for
both the players and the specta-
tors to follow the play. One im-
