EVERBODY'S Busiss In the eyes of employers, lack of initiative" is con- sidered the most serious fault a worker can have. It is an insidiousand dangerous fault. For most of us, pride of achievement and desire for bigger earnings provide plenty of drive. But we may suffer from temporary loss of enthusiasm in our work due to illness, personal prob- lems, or emotional upsets. At such times it is desirable to take all possible measures to prevent these conditions from becoming chronic. The advice of a physician or close friend may help. So may a frank talk with your em- ployer whose attitude will probably be very under- standing. Sometimes a man has little or no interest in his work. This may not be his fault. A change of job or additional responsibilities may be all he needs to make him "spark". But far too many men are in a rut because they are just plain lazy. To them I can only say: You'll be far happier if you gyve your job everything you've got! The life insurance business in Canada has grown to tremen- dous proportions because it renders a needed service and is efficiently managed. In 1946, approximately $165,- 000,000 165;000.000 was paid out in life insurance benefits.

DANCING ! in Cardno's Hall, Seaforth SATURDAY, JULY 19th Norm Carnegie and His Band • Admission 50c COUNCIL MEETING,. Continued From .Page One stores, Mayor Reid suggested it b turned over to the fire and wate 'ate committee to bring in a retort mendation. Councillor Close reported that th streets committee had cleaned th drain in front of J. ilier'o's, fixed th wall sit bowling green, cleaned drain et bottom of Sparring street and re paired catch basin at corner of East William and Side streets. AleBoyes had quoted $2,500 for his snowplow outfit complete with truck. Engineer Archibald is expected this week to take levels on the Silver Creek drain. Mayor Reid asked about the blinker light for the main corner, stating there had been an accident there last week and a warning sign is needed Councillor Keating said the big trans ports are the worst offenders speed Ing across the intersection. Councillor Close asked that the band be granted a holiday next Sun- day night from the regular band con- cert in order to attend a picnic at Stratford of district bands. Corresiionclence was read by Cleric D, H. Wilson, Request for 'building permit by Lorne S. "Webster, improve- ments, to house on West street, esti- mated cost $500. Granted. Request from W. G. G111 to erect sign in front of his block, granted subject to direc- tion of street committee. The building bylaw came in for a lot of criticism. Councillor McMaster said the building permits issuers by the council are a. joke compared to the efficient permits issued by the Dept, of Highways. Mayor Reid said the idea of the bylaad was to prevent one reran injuring another man's pro- perty by building where he shouldn't, etc, Councillor Close said it was all right to have a building permit, but why charge $2 for it; the town needs more houses badly. A request from Scott Memorial Hospital Board for a grant of $1,000 was approved, Councillor Ross oppos- ing. The letter explained that grants are being asked from seven municipal- ities to meet the operating deficit. In case any municipality does not wish to make a grant, patients from that municipality will be charged $1 per day extra, the letter said. Taxi licenses were approved to C. J. Dennis, C. G. and Frank Lee, Cecil Lemon (two cars), Monday, August 4th, was authorized as civic holiday. Bylaw No. 419 re ei°bction of ad- vertising signs, was given its sev- eral readings and passed and per- mission granted to the Marley com- pany to erect two signs subject to approval of those concerned. The dog bylaw came up for discus- sion. R'Iayor Reid said the police are asking what to do, Councillors Chris- tie, Close and Ross said the bylaw could well be abolished. Councillor Teall suggested a dog pound (the by- law calls for shooting of dogs, if at large). Councillor Keating said the town is divided between those who own dogs and those who do not. No definite action was taken, Mayor Reid outlined the informa- tion received by the police commit- tee in a recent meeting with Inspector Craig of the Provincial Polite. The committee was favorably impressed with the plan to turn over the polic- ing of Seaforth to trained Provincial police, as a number of the towns have done. The headquarters of this dis- trict of Provincial Police is now at Mount Forest where a radio station will keep in touch with police cars in the district and there will be a local relay station at Goderich. The cost is estimated at three mills, The department does not wish to put a man out of work, however, and is desirous that other employment be found for any police displaced by tlae new system. An office would be needed in the town hall and the In- spector said this could easily be ar- ranged. The councillors all expressed approval of the plan, and arrange- ments were left in the hands of the police committee, and it was under- stood the Provincial Police could take over in about two weeks. Members of the council spoke in praise of the excellent work done by the local police, but felt that the more modern set up is necessary to meet present day needs. The Provincial Police use three-way radio. • Finance Committee Report: - Trees, Public School, $2,000.00; C. P. Sills, P.M., stamps, $7,00; E. Drager, 582.40; S. Regele,, $25.00; P.U.C., 516.88; S.
