the 'United States, final 'judging tak-
ing ipiace •at Chicago The grand
prize will bet free trip to California
•The first prize essay, by !Mrs's
nie .Savauge, o'f ISeaforth Collegiate,
follows:
Suggestions ,for a Civic Service
Luncheon Club.
(We feel that in ISeaforth we are
very much handicapped in an effort
of this sort, because Our Civic Ser-
vice Club has done so many splendid
'things :'that there are very few re-
maining undone for ane to suggest.
That they may understand' how and
why,our 'Civic, 'Service _'Club func-
tions, a number of boys should be
guests at the 'Club on such nights as
are suitalb'ie.
The Club Wright sponsor the org-
anization and operation •of a senior
boys' society to be .held in the even-
ings. They aright be more 'interes'ted
in the 'meetings if they were allowed
to work at a hobby. Thus they lwoul'd
be kept from mischief and idleness in
the streets.
The younger boys would beeulfit
frotn the influence of a Boy Scout
Troop. •Similarly, many girls would
become zealous unem'bers if a branch
of the Girl Guides were ca'pa'bly sup-
ervised in ISeaforth.
The results from these organize-
.
tions could' be su'nn'ed up in a boys'
and girls' annual _fair.
A' boys' sunnier camp would prev-
ent a great waste of time in the holi-
days. A fine type of camp indluding
all manly sports, exercises and in-
structions, would be very helpful.
A welcome expressed by 'a sign at
each entrance to our town mould be
apprecia'ted by utcdhiiygn''vfravel'lers.
The sign should be islic and illum-
inated, and should b'ar on the reverse
side 'a friendly fare+veli to the depart-
ing visitors.
Our 'citizens could use their Mem-
orial Park with added comfort, if ad-
equate seating were ,provided under
the direction of our local Club. :Fixed
tables s'heltere'd from the rain would
be more convenient at the CI"ub Park,
and would attract even a greater num-
ber of tourists.
It would certainly be met with ap-
proval if a rest roost for shoppers and
tourists were established in the busi-
ness :section of the town.
The improv'emen't of a model gar-
den built on same uns'i'ghtly spot
would serve as a model for 'many oth-
er such gardens. Model houses with
nicely decorated exteriors 'would be
an incentive to better painted 'homes.
These models would be quite no-
ticeable if placed in sgtne public in-
stitution. Alany citizens would take
more 'interest in their ho'ntes and gar-
dens if a prize were given annually
for the best lawn or garden,
IDu•ring the depression, it would' be
a kind act if the people were invited
and organized -'to 'knit for those in
need, as they used to do for the sol-
diers.
In the winter a' rabbit drive might
be arranged, Thus a great •quantity of
meat cotild be secured for the needy.
The .autumn months .would be a
good time to` collect used toys. When
reconditioned, they...vault]. make a
decided increase in the generous
Christmas provision which has ` al-
ready been made for the ,poor by our,
Club.

SEAFORTH TRUSTEES O'PPASE
TEACHERS' PAY -FIXING
UNS'O'N 1
Board Latuiches Campaign to De-
throne Ontario Secondary. School
Teachers' Federation—Issue Cir-
cular Letter to Urge General
Move to Reduce the Salaries.
Udder the above heading the Tor-
onto' Star on Thursday last published.
.the following:
The long established power of the
Ontario Secondary School Teachers'
Federation to fix minimum salaries of
high school teachers all over the pro-
vince is . threatened by a • campaign
launched by the board of education of
ISeaforth among all high schools in
the smaller centres and suburban
area: Some 50 circular letters have
been sent out to other board's in the
province, urging co-operation in a
move to reduce teachers' salaries.
T'he campaign will come to a head,
The Star is informed, at a meeting of
.the Ontario. Association of School
Trustees in Toronto during Easter
week when; the wh'o'le question of sal-
aries will be discussed. Meanwhile
officials of the Ontario ' Secondary
School Teachers' Federation are in-
clined to take the matter lightly. T'he
federation, it is said', functions in. a
way similar to a union. According to
John, Jeffries, .principal of Jarvis Col-
legiate, Toronto, and' presid.etut of the
teachers' federation, the .only part of
a school's schedule that is fixed 'by
the federation is the matter of salar-
ies.
Asked if the federation had "unduly
interfered?' with the work of the. Sea -
forth I school • board, JMr, Jeffries de-
clared that "there was some trouble
there a couple of years ago." The f'ed-
eration had stepped in, he recollected,
because of "an unusual procedure
'which the Seaforth school board re-
sorted to when they wanted to get rid
of a few of their teachers." The feder-
ation ' diol not, -initiate any action, he
declared.
Asked All to Resign.
T'his "unusual procedure" was ex-
plained to The 'Sitar by R. 'Al. Jones,
secretary of the Seaforth board. "We
wanted to change a few of the teach-
ers; so we asked the whole staff to re-
sign and• then reapply for their posi-
tions. But the federation didn't like
our method of hiring teachers and
they blacklisted Seaforth by urging
teachers not to apply. When we re-
plied to a number of applications we
found the applicants unabi'e to accept
positions with us because they had
been told off by the federation," he
said.
That trouble had now blown over,
'A'Ir. Jones said, but the board' felt that
it was "time to take the interests of
the nuuticipality more seriously to
heart." The Seaforth board was urg-
ing a reduction of salaries and lower-
ing of fees paid to a antitting- teach-
ers. "We pay our teachers up to the
end of June. During that month they
preside at examinations and we have
to pay then' another nine to,twelbe
dollars a day all the time they arc pre-
siding in , addition to their salaries;"
he said.
The Seaforth hoard had drawn up
a letter calling attention to this con-
dition and has forwarded it to the
minister o!f educaltion; the teachers'
magazine, School Teacher; the secre-
tary of the Ontario Sc'hoo'l Trustees'
and Ra'tep'ayers' Association and, near-
ly all the smaller high schools and
sallegiates in the province, The Star
was informed.
"'The snnal'ler co'llegiates in Ontario
are paying their teachers more than
the municipalities can afford," de-
clared H. 'Stewart, chairman of the
Seaforth board of education. The
ntininiunf wage allowed' by the feder-
ation was $1,700 in the smaller
schools. Seaforth ]laid its principal
$3,300, while' all of the teachers were
receiving at least the minimum wage.
Pritnctpal, George Pall'antyn'e of the
Seaforth collegiate olid not know that
the board had taken any action on the
matter of ,salaries., "They 'carne to
me and asked for some stationery and
envelopes, and said they wturt'ed to
send about 50 letters. - I was suspi-
cious there was something in the air,"
lte told,he Star.

NO ICE CUT YET
Although the past ten clays have,
been cold and wintry, users of ice in
town' have been unable to secure their •
usual supply as yet. .Most of tile..
ponds are covered with 510511 and the
ice underneath iss'not more than four
niches thick, which is too thin to Cut
into blocks. --
Some weeks ago 'there was a half -
foot of ice at the Lions swimming
pool but it melted iiia clay or so 1.e -
fore it could be harvested.
A+Gr• Jos. Scott, of Roxboro, , who 'd
has always 001 ice at the bridge, has
had many inquiries . this week about
the condition of t•he=ice there:
It is understood that oto sa$nnles of
ice -water have been tested yet ili
town and lio permits issued to cut
ice, underthe new regulations.
