The winning ticket was drawn by her own brother Ronnie Dalton, who had been picked at random from the crowd. Dionne's ticket was one of the free 'admission tickets given to school children in June. Ronnie was not too happy about it all, figuring he was unlucky not to have pulled out- his own ticket. He now gets his sister's olcl bike, and that is o.k. The winner had choice of a transistor radio or a bike. TWO HOUR PA KING APPRI: VED Parking meters in Seaforth will be changed to a limit of two hours instead of the present one hour parking limit, town council decid- ed at its meeting on Monday ev- ening. A month will probably be re- quired to alter the meters and amend the bylaw. Councillor Neil Bell, near the close of the meeting, asked that the subject he reconsidered, hav- ing been turned down at the July meeting. Councillor Cardno said merch- ants seemed to think it would be beneficial. A man who gets a park- ing ticket after making a sizable purchase in town, does not feel very friendly, he said. Councillor MacLean remarked that the town looks pretty bare in the afternoons, and the meters are to blame, Councillor Dalton said you have 4e remember that the merchants' cars are no longer parked on Main street. Reeve Ball said altering the meter's presents no problem. Councillor Bell said he had ask- ed a number of farmers and ail had said they would like to have two hour meters. Councillors agreed that all of the meters should be changed ov- er to two hours, not just some of them. The meters are made so that changing over from one hour Parking to two hour parking is fairly simple. 5e will provide one hour ,parking, two five cent coins will provide for two hours, Cop- pers are still good, but a dime cannot be used. Councillors said that barber shops and hair dressers found an hour too short a time for .many customers. Council passed a resolution adopting the two hour parking on the meters as soon as possible. Swine Club Will. Exhibit At Fair The August meeting of the Seaforth 4-H Swine Club was held in the agricultural board room in Clinton on Monday, Aug. 18, Two films were shown. Mr, Don Greive gave a talk on balan- ced rations, and Barbara Turnbull thanked Mr, Grieve. In the busi- ness of meeting it was decided' that the Swine Club would `pet an exhibit in the Seaforth fair. George Townsend, Ernest Laming - ton and Ken Gemmell were ap- pointed to plan the exhibit, The meeting was then adjourned. GARS COLLIDE Just before 011e o'clock Tuesday afternoon two cars collided at Goderich and Coleman streets. A '56 Chev. driven by Carman Meeh- an, r.r. 5 Brussels, was hit by a '50 Studebaker driven by John (Reg,) Allh1 whose car was wrecked beyond repair, Damage to Chev. was about $25 to the right front fender, No one was injured, Chief of Police Hutchin- son investigated.

Harold Rivers, salesman for the Dominion Road Machinery Co., Goderich, offered the town a used Allis Chalmers 80 machine, new in 1953, with GM motor, for a flat price of $5,000. This grader had no wing and had never been used for snow plowing. The wing from the pres- ent grader and any other equip- ment needed, could be transferr- ed from the town's old grader. Mr. Rivers told council his com- pany had several other used gra- ders, some of them priced from 98,000 to $10.000. Some of the higher priced ma- chines were only a few years old, with 100 horsepower, were being traded in for machines with more power. Could the town pay half now and half at the end of the year, Councillor Dinsmore asked. He said the old grader could not go through another winter of snow plowing. Councillor Dalton suggested getting all tie hours they could out of the old grader. Reeve Ball asked if there was no trade-in on the old grader. Mr. Rivers said it could be sold for scrap. Ile offered to take any councillors to Baden or Toronto to see the machines. He said plowing and bucking snow takes it out of a grader. His offer was for cash, but would give a little Lime for adjusting the town's ac- counts. Mayor Daly suggested the pub- lic works committee bring in a recommendation for next meeting. Reeve Ball asked how much de- posit was required. Mr, Rivers said $500, Mayor Daly reminded council they could not commit next year's council. Councillor Cardno said the grader is something we must have. Mr. Rivers said the grader at Baden was a GM diesel with power steering. Ninety per cent. of the motors now are GM, The tires are 12x24 and in fair shape. Mr. Rivers offered to fly any of the councillors to Toronto if they wanted to see a grader. It was cheaper, he said.

DRAW WINNERS Winners of the main draw on Friday night tit the Lions carnival were: 1st prize, Eddie Box $500, 2nd, Hugh McPherson $300, 3rd, Mrs, R, Vander Hoek $200, Town Weigh Scales Go To Blyth The scales behind the town hall were sold to the highest bid- der, E. R. Snell feed mill, Blyth, at the council meeting on Mon- day evening. Councillor Cardno said there had been two enquiries regarding the scales which had been oper- ated for the past year by the local coal dealers. Ile had two bids, which were opened at the meeting. The higher bid was for $310, from the Blyth firm, The other tender was from Mervin Dietz of Brodhagen. The purchas- er is expected to move the scales within 30 days at his own ex- pense. The scales, which at one time were used for weighing coal and hay and some livestock, have in recent years produced only a small revenue and had become a problem to keep in operation. A number of years ago the town disposed of another weigh scales which had been located at the old stockyards at the station. Mayor Daly said that the scales building had a good roof and a wall. By putting up cement block wails on two sides and an over- head door, there would be good storage space for the grader and dump truck. Councillors agreed that the building should be put to some use. The building is P.U.C. pro- perty. Hugill Family Hold Reunion Forty, -five descendants of the family of Mr. J.

Council received a petition from owners and occupants asking that sidewalks 001115111 where they are now and not be placed inside the tree line as council decided at a 011601al meeting in July. Mayor Daly said the present walks are jammed against trees W111011 ltlust have been pelt in aft- er the sidewalks. There was still 1 three feet to the town line. Some houses and a fence were on town property. Councillors suggested that per- https the sidewalk could be divert- ed around places that were ton Close t0 allow a full width walk. Councillor Dalton said no tae with a petition had called at his properties on North Main street. Councillor Dinsmore said North Main street was not like Coder- Mb oderfah street, which is a highway. The mayor said it eventually would be a highway, in his opltt- 1011, Mayor Daly said he and Coun- cillor Dalton had interviewed nearly all the residents whose names appeared on the petition, and they bad offered no objection to the sidewalks going inside the trees. He thought the petition should be filled and taken into con- sideration when the platter comes Councillor John Flannery led a. discussion on the lack of progress of starting sewer work on North Main, He said every time things are lined up, some small change is suggested and it requires fur - the' delay until checked. At present there is a stumbling block in the easements for the outflow from the sewer to the pumping station, Some of the easements had been verbal agree- ments, but when put into writing had not met with approval and re- quired adjustment. The engineers and Ontario Water Resources are unwilling to call tenders until the easements are all signed. Councillor Flannery said if these matters could be cleared up, tenders might be called right away. Any little thing can hold up the plans. Would it be wise to go ahead with the sewer if the county could not follow 110 with the road work. It would mean a rough road and no pavement all winter. The consulting engineers have let ns down, claimed Councillor Dinsmore. The mayor said they demand a 30 foot easement, which causes delay, Councillor Flannery said only authorized connections to a sewer should be permitted. The town foreman should supervise when a connection is tapped into a sewer tile. If not properly done an expen- sive tile may be broken and it might be covered up and not re- ported. Councillor Flannery re- ported that two hook-ups bad 1 been made to one connection. Couucillor Dalton said we did not want to allow everybody to monkey with the sewers. May -or Daly said itIr. Empey inspects all connections into sewers and they cannot be covered up until he has seen it. Mayor Daly brought up dis- cussion about the dog catcher. Councillors decided the dog sitla- tion was really the best in years, although there lead been some complaints. Councillor. Flannery reported that the dump is becoming clogg- ed. The town would make a cir- cular road at the dump so veh- icles could drive around and not have to turn on the road. John Begley, who has been iu charge of the dump, has made some good suggestions, he said. Tax arrears 1061 and prior at July 31 were $32,000. compared to $53,000 at Dec. 31, 1961. Current tax receipts for 1962 to July 31st were $73,000, leaving a balance of $90,000, of which some- thing over $8,000 are in arrears, Mayor Daly said the council's budgetinghadbeen much closer to the line this year. Mayor Daly and Councillor Din- smore explained the situation in regard to clothing for police. Or- ders were being placed. Police reported 113 parking tags this month, inaking a total of nearly 400. Council approved an applica- tion for an extra light on High street. The PUC will install it and it will cost the town $20 a year. Councillor Neil Bell reported the fire department working smoothly. Councillor Dalton reported work on the streets, No price had been set for custom asphalt work as no work is being done, Mayor Daly reported there had been no reply about the stop light sinal at the main corner. g e. Parking motor at the Co-op will be made a single head, the the double meter interferes with loading, Council is making application for interim grant on roads. ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. W.

The insurance company insists that it pressure test should be carried out in the presence of their inspector, Councillor Cardno - remarked we cannot get the old boiler out, or a new boiler in. He said he and D'Orlean Sills had gone over the system, which is a single pipe operation, There are a number of loops in tate pipes whichaffectthe efficiency. Mayor Daly said the pipes had been changed around when alter- ations were made to the building. The present boiler is a R. Bell railway boiler.

Study New Tree Types for Streets Mayor Daly suggested that council consider the different: kinds of trees now being planted along streets in the cities. Some of these trees -have advantages over the traditional maple and walnut trees used on the streets in past years, The city of London in a letter to council told of the new varieties tried out there. Some of these varieties grow 001y to a height of 8 to 10 feet. These trees can be bought at almost tiny nursery for about $3 apiece. Some of the trees recouintended were: little leaf linden, Norwsy Maple, golden rain tree (email.
