Consider Shed
At Town Hall
,Seaforth town council held the
regular May meeting on Monday
evening, following a special meet-
ing a week earlier, All members
were present and Mayor Edmund
Daly ,presided.
The finance committee report-
ed $87,000 taxes outstanding as of
April.
,Councillor Dalton reported a
bid on extending the shed at the
rear of the town hall of $900 front.
Thorpe Rivers, town to provide
the cement floor and footings.
Mayor Daly said he was not
sure an extension to the shed
would solve the problem of stor-
ing town equipment, Reeve Ball
thought there should be at least
two bids.
,Councillor John Flannery re-
ported the disposal• plant had
been cleaned out, and the dump
bulldozed, A fee of $4 was set for
cleaning outdoor toilets.
Council passed a new traffic by-
law to cover the meters and to
take In all previous traffic by-
laws.
.A. bylaw setting the mayor's
salary at $400 and councillors at
$250 was passed.
A bylaw setting out the amount
required by taxation and the mill
rates was passed. Councillors cal-
culated that the residential pub-
lic school rate would be down 4.7
mills, Other rates would also be
lower,
Councillor Dalton said Gordon
Wright had requested a meter in
front of his store on John Street,
Councillors considered putting
meters out to High street, but de-
cided the meters were to get cars
off Main street, and cars could
park on John street if there was
room. However council agreed to
put a meter in front of Mr.
Wright's place, Councillors also
thought signs should be put up in
the alleys to warn against un-
authorized parking on private
property. Councillors decided bi-
cycles could he parked at a meter
the same as a car.
Council sought a solution for
parties wanting to borrow town
equipment. Town employees had
difficulty locating borrowed items
when needed. The most trouble-
some was "snakes" used in work-
ing on plugged drains. Council
decided new measures were need-
ed. Council pointed out that the
Tuckersmith township employees
were welcome to borrow town
equipment—the township had
been very generous in loaning
things such as chains, etc., to
the town.
Councillor Neil Bell asked coun-
cil if they were open for an offer
for the old factory: Council said
they would consider an offer if it
were in writing.
Sand should be put, on the tar
put on the streets last week;

Lean. Ile recommended washed
May Take In
Rayfield River
The Bayfield river might be ta-
ken into the Maitland river Con-
servation Authority, Councillor
Nelson Cardno told Seaforth town
council at the regular meeting
Monday evening.
He warned that it would in-
crease the present 30% of the
town's assessment to 100%.
Councillors agreed the extra cost
might become a heavy burden.
Councillor Cardno said the
Maitland Authority would soon
be making an inspection trip by
bus and might look at the Bay-
field river.
He said the present generation
would see little of the benefits of
the work, but future generations
might have improved conditions
as a legacy.
The Ausalble river authority
would take in the southern tribu-
tary, Councillor Cardno said. It
night even take in the whole of
the Bayfield river.
Reeve Ball suggested that the
navies of the reeve of Tucker -
smith and the reeve of Stanley
should be suggested as additional
members of the Maitland author-
ity to represent the interests of
the Bayfield river if it were taken
in.
sand.
Council agreed to put a side-
walk -from North Main street to
the factory, it is very muddy at
present. An asphalt walk was
suggested.
Mayor Daly said he had discus-
sed with a CNR signal engineer
the installation of a flasher light
at the railway crossing here. If
the flasher continued to operate
as at present on the main . line
only and not on the side lines,
the cost could be reduced. . The
town's share would conte down to
$1200 or $1400 instead of $2800.
A second light would be installed
on the' south side of the tracks.
Council were—of the opinion many
other road and rail crossings
were much more in -need of new
installations, and the crossing
here could be left as it is for a
long time.
Seaforth town council at the
regular meeting Monday passed
a grant of $1,500 to the Lions
Club to cover the deficit at the
Lions pool' and park. The grant
was divided into two parts; $500

Hear Address on
Vocational Work
Mr. 11, Cochrane. principal of
Clinton collegiate sees the new
additional courses in science,
technology and trade at (Clinton
as the greatest improvement in
Huron county In many a year.
The vocational addition will
not be separate, but integrated
into the present curriculum to
include students from Seaforth,
Clinton, Exeter and Goderich.
Although the new area will not
be ready until i90, a year later
than expected, the present grade
9 students will be considered
when the time comes for them to
take advantage of its courses.
The addition will provide 23
new teaching areas, 7 shops, i,
commercial,2 science labs, a gym
and a cafeteria to accommodate
400 persons at one sitting,
The cost is $les million for the
building and equipment, which
amount will be derived from in -
cone tax and provincial sales tax.
There will he 251 such schools in
Ontario and similar 'schools
throughout Canada,
The necessity for such schools
in the outlying areas has become
urgent in view of the terrific loss
of talent because of children leav-
ing school at grade 10, only to
ewell the force of unskilled labor,
The student with a desire to
learn isn't necessarily University
material, but nevertheless has ab-
ility in other fields that have so
far not been developed in this
area, These courses will open the
way for the technologist, the
tradesman or practical person, so
necessary to our progress- The
courses offered will be on a par
with those of Beal Tech in Lon-
don.
At grade 9 the course will be
80% basic subjects with 205 or
two subjects to choose as anex-
perintent whether the pupil wish-
es to follow a career in science,
technology, academic or a trade.
The courses may follow a 2, 3, 4
or 5 year program which will pro-
vide four or more ways to attain
a junior metric in their •specific
held. These standhrds will be ac-
cepted by the Dept, of Education
who have studied the needs of
the various areas across the pro-
vince through surveys of con-
struction, hospital and business
needs through qualified persons,
These students with a desire to
find their channel in life will ap-
proach their life's work with con-
fidence and there will be fewer
people in wrong or unsuitable oc-
cupations.
