PARKING METERS HERE JuvenilesSeaforth
SOON COUNCIL DECREES
Sealant is to have parking me-
ters before May 1st, the town
council decided at its regular
meeting on Monday night.
100 meters will' be Braced on
the business section of Main St„
about put
likely25 will be
on the side streets close to Main.
Tho intention is to have meters
extend from the • main intersec-
tion at
Goderieh street south to
the factory. On the side streets:
Goderich street on both sides to
the alleys, John St, to Church;
Market street to Jarvis and Gott
inlock to Victoria street,
Meters on Main street will be
one hour for a five•eent coin or
five coppers.
Council left over decision to
adopt the automatic type or man-
ual type meters for consideration
of experiences of some of the
cities with the two types,
Each type has certain advan-
tages. The automatic meter oper-
ates when a eein is placed in the
sloat of the sensitive machine.
The mechanism is operated by a
clock spring that must be wound
by a town employee once a week
or so, It was said that women ap-
preciate its Convenience, Howev-
er the manual type requires less
expert servicing.
The manual meter is wound up
by the motorist when he turns a
handle after putting in a coin.
The mechanism has few moving
parts and ,is more certain in op-
eration. The coin isreturned to
the Customer readily if for any
reason it fails to operate.
The salesmen who appeared at
the council meeting said parking
meters are the objects 02 vandal-
ism to some extent. Sometimes
slugs and gum are inserted.
The cost of the meters is about
$100 installed, for the single head,
and $150 for the double head. The
revenue from the meters will be
divided on a 50-50 basis until the
cost is paid.
Returns from fines for over -
parking will go exclusively to the
town.
The salesmen said the general
public dislike parking meters and
advised council to use ,discretion
in introducing the sale of street
parking space.
Town To Have
Tax Sale
Town council met Monday ev-
ening with all members present
except Councillor 'Earl Dinsmore.
Mayor Edmund Daly presided,
The meeting was one of the
longest over held, lasting till 1.30
a.m.Demonstration of parking me-
ters took a couple of hours and
gave council a late start.
A tax sale was debated. Prop-
erties which have taxes over 3
years in arrears become subject
to sale for taxes.
Council was told that approxi-
mately half of those with taxes
three years in arrears had already
paid.
Mayor Daly read a letter from
the CNR in further reference to
a second warning light at the
Main street crossing. Councillors
agreed that eventually the second
signal would have to be put in.
Councillor Cardno told council
about discussions he had had with
Tuckersmith council about rent
for the use of a room at the town
hall for council meetings.
Tuckersmith had offered an ag-
reement paying $120 for a year.
Council decided- an agreement
should limit the use to council
meetings only.
.A. similar agreement will be
made with McKillop township for
use of the library room.
Tuckersmith some years age
had donated a large table for use
in the room, it was reported.
Councillor Cardno said he had
been appointed to the publicity
committee of the Maitland Valley
Authority. He said the total as-
sessment this year was $18,000,
'Decide on ,Manual
Meters for Seaforth
Repairs for the grader are be
ing obtained to put it in shape.
Reeve Ball reported one familyon relief and another partial.
A storm sewer for North Main
street when the road work and
sanitation sewer are being done
will be discussed with the county
engineer. Mayor Daly wondered
why the present storm sewer
could not be used, or at least the
levels. Councillor Flannery, san-
itation.committee chairman, said
it was believed there is a 16 inch
and a 12 inch storm sewer there,
the latter going down Side street.
Seaforth is responsible for whole
cost of a storm sewer.
Confirmation was signed of a
new engineering agreement with
07711C to cover the new $162,000
North Main St. projeat, replacing
the former $95,000 scheme.
Mayor Daly said the engineers
want easements before they go to
work, but how can the town know
where to get easements until the
engineering is done.
Council decided to leave things
as they are at the town dump.
Cost last year for two bulldozings
was only $120. To police the
dump, charge fees and limit the
use would cost at least $1,000.
It was suggested that the road
to the dump be widened and snow
fence erected in future years.
Also the garbage collectors might
be asked to notify police if stran-
gers were seen at the dump.
The annual bylaw was passed
setting a maximum of $15,000 for
highway construction and main-
tenance, divided $4,000 and $11,-
000 respectively. The bylaw ex-
empting farm lands from 10 mills
on the tax rate and a new bylaw
providing a minimum of $6.00 tax-
es on any property. Some had
been as low as 95c,
Mayor Daly suggested that the
chairman of each committee pre-
pare tentative budget, estimates
to be presented at the'1pri1 meet-
ing. The fax rate for 1962 can
not be finalized until the schools
make requisitions. However with
the auditors' report almost com-
pleted, be was cautiously optim-
istic as to the improved financial
status of the town, attributed in
,part to the vigorous collection of
monies owing the town.

Council. on Tuesday night, control

mibtee with suggestion that sale
be restricted to one day and they
.could be set off only on parents'
property, purchase to be made by
adults.
Council at this meeting decided
in favor of manual parking met -
ere after consulting by telephone
with London, Stratford, ,Wood-
stock and St, Marys, Information
was that cost of maintaining auto-
matic teeters runs as high as 25
per cent of revenue. St. Marys
had changed over to manual from.
automatic because of plugging by
dust. Details of times allowed are
to be worked out by the commit-
tee, Victoria park will be open for
free parking and bigger signs will
invite its use.
Councillors were pleased that
no serious objections had been
expressed during the day by mer-
chants, and citizens were mostly
pleased, they said,
of which Seaforth's share was
$540;
Qouncillor Angus MacLean said
the town finance committee had
met with the finance committee
of the Public School Board. Coun-
cillor Cardno said the high school
cost the town $20,000 a year, and
an increase in salaries would
mean $2000 more.
Councillor Carl Darton read the
public works report and the pol-
ice report.
Council passed a resolution for
daylight saving to start at the
end of April,

MR, MALCOLM McKELLAR is shown expressing thanks for tie after years as superintendent. Above presenting all a.cdress and
honor accorded to himself and Mrs. McKellar by Sunday School of gifts to Mr. and Mrs, McKellar (centre) are Mi'. Clare Reith and
First Presbyterian Church on Friday evening, upon his retirement Mise .lean Scott,
As we think back over the
years, we all know that it was a
distinct privilege to have worked
with one who was so unselfishly
dedicated to the task of teaching
several generations of our child-
ren those very truths by which
you yourself have lived and
found sufficient.
There are few of us here who
have not taken our cares or prob-
lems to you, and each of us has
found that your understanding,
experience and faith have lifted
the burden from our shoulders.
Tonight as we think of these
things we find that we cannot
properly put into words our ap-
preciation for all your years of
faithful' service in the Church
School.
Perhaps our ,pleasure in this
happy arrangement has best been
expressed in the old hymn—
"Blest be the tie that binds,
Our hearts in Christian love,
The fellowship of kindred
minds,
Is like to that above."
However theese words do not
completely say what we feel in
our hearts as you retire from the
responsibility you have carried
so well for so many years, so we
wish to add a small remembrance
for you, also for Mrs. McKellar,
We hope that you will accept this
along with our fervent prayer
that God's richest blessing will
go with you and be your portion
for evermore.
In addressing the supper gath
ening, Rev. D. J. Lane of Clinton
said:
A great thinker once said that
the gift of time is made available,
and the wise and useful individ-
ual tries to get the most out of it,
as it passes along.
There are, he says, some basic
ideas of oar management of time
that can help us to use it well.
Three undeniable facts regard-
ing time are:
1) It can be measured..
2) It is always passing and
never returns.
3) It can be wasted, or used
in great service.
As for the first fact, I think it
may be seen to great advantage
in the life of Mr, McKellar. He
has so measured time, in his
years, as to devote a good por-
tion of it in helping to lay the
foundation of the lives of many
boys and girls who have now ta-
ken a wider place in the life of
the communities in which they,
live.

Twenty-seven years superin-
tending a Sunday School is meas-
uring time, wonderfully given in
service.
As for the second fact. Time is
always passing, and it never re-
turns. No one realizes this fact
more than men like Mr. McKellar,
and all of us as we grow a little
older. I do not know whether we
would wish it to return, unless
we have wasted it. But I know
that any man who devotes his
time and talents to Sunday school
work has no need to think that
that time has been wasted.
On the other hand, I am sure
we would all agree that it has
been a portion of the thne made
available to Mfr. Mclellar that he
has spent in a groat cause, name-
ly to mold the lives of the next
generation in the way which God
loves to see that generation walk.
Three, As for the third fact
quoted, it can be wastedor used

No time is ever wasted in work•
ing for Christ, who said "Suffer
the children to come unto me,"
and that has beenthe splendid
leadership which Mr. McKellar
liars tried to give over these many
many years in the Sunday School
