(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. (Continued on :Page ?) EGMONDVILLE.

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. t„t LIONS M;EETIING, The; regular semi-mornthly meeting of the Lions Club was'held itt :the Cotntnercial FI'atel, on Monday evert - mg, aft AVJ.
