Next most frequently report ed are accidents that happen while attaching other implements, "to tractors, being struck or run over by tractors that.,tip over or rear, and jumping or falling of tractors. Combines and threshing machines account for a bout a third -as inany accidents as tractors, and corn plait - era and corn shelters account for six per cent of machine accidents. Home .machinery used chiefly by women accounts for only three per cent of all machinery accidents. Though these figures apply to farms in the United 'States there is no reason to assume that machinery accidents are less frequent in Cana- da. THIS SPECIAL VALUUo.

Box Furnit NIGHT 595W Funeral Service Store PHONE—DAY 43 We Wcuit YOU To Get This Si; aight Before You Vote MONDAY, AUG. 15th On the Proposed Seaforth and District MEMORIAL RECREATION CENTRE • At the last public meeting in connection with the proposed Memorial Recreation Centre, it was the unanimous decision of that meeting to ask the•Town Council to take further steps to establish a 1VIemorial Centre under the relevant Provincial Acts. To this end the Council of the Town of Seaforth has called for a vote on Money By -Law No. 503, of 1949, so that the sum of $40,000 may be made available towards the erection of a Community Centre. • But, get this straight! $40,000 is the MAXIMUM amount that you are voting on. That is the stand Seaforth is taking, That is Seaforth's share of the proposed Community Centre — not one cent more! • Get this straight, too! You will pay taxes on exactly $40,000, and not $105,000, as falsely reported by press and radio. Your taxes will be approximately 2 mills, or, in other words, $2.00 on each $1,000 of assess- ment. • Get this straight, too! The estimated cost, submitted by a competent contractor, of the proposed Centre, is $75,000. The building will be constructed so that an artificial ice plant can be readily installed. Re- member! Seaforth's share is just $40,000. • Grants and promised donations will raise the total to .$60,000. Volunteer labour and public subscriptions must make up the balance required. But, get this straight, too. The Centre will not be started until all the funds required are assured. The Town cannot accept a building with a debt. • Do not be misled by statements of those who oppose this progres- sive plan for our Town, who suggest the Town will be run into a debt of $105,000. It won't be! $40,000 is Seaforth's share — the rest must be forthcoming, or the project will not go through, • An artificial ice plant will cost $30,000. If the generous donations of the people of Seaforth and surrounding Municipalities amount to that sum, then an artificial ice plant will be installed; otherwise it won't be. • Have you got it straight? You're voting to authorize a $40,000 Municipal share in a Community Memorial Recreation Centre. Nothing More! Don't be misled by wanton distortions of the facts. • Surely you, as Ratepayer, agree the sacrifice of those from Sea - forth who gave their lives in World War II, justifies action on the part of the Town in commemorating their valiant deeds. This living Memorial will do that, and at the same time provide a centre where the young people of Seaforth may participate in. supervised activities. The Memorial Centre is an investment in future citizens. • We must have community spirit, community pride, community far-. sightedness if we are to keep our enviable position as a progressive town,. Don't vote against 'progress! Smaller towns than Seaforth may put us to shame. GET OUT AND VOTE "YES" MONDAY, AUG. 15th This advertisement is made possible by the co-operation of the following ratepayers and firms, who feel that the provision of a Memorial Recreation Centre is vital to the continued happiness and welfare of the eOmmunity Whyte's• Butcher Shop The Huron Expositor Orville Oke Seaforth Motors Seaforth Supply & Fuel Ltd.
