NEW TOWN WELL
HELP FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS
There were tlu'ee guest speakers at
the meeting of the Lions Club held
on Monday in St. Thomas' parish hall.
The subject -of all three, addresses
• was "How can the Lions Club be of
assistance to the High School, Separ-
ate and Public Schools,"
The meeting was in charge of
Lions Ed, Chamberlain and Ross Sav-'
auge, with Lion -Chamberlain in the.
chair. Each speaker had good suggea-
tions to make and the members of
the Club found much food for thought'
in these suggestions. Principal E. L.'
Fox of Seaforth Collegiate,. said he
could suggest many things but eon-,
centrated upon one suggestion, that;
there were many students attending'
High School who needed assistance,I
to complete their course to Senior!
Matriculation. -A higher standard of
education will be required by employ -I
--ers after the war than ever before
and if the Lions could establish a'
fund for the assistanceof pupils to
obtain their Senior Matriculation who
might otherwise leave school after
one or two years, he thought; that this
would` be a very great help.
Chairman C. P. Sills, of St. James'
School board, suggested that. St.
James' School had need of playground
equipment, but there was a more im-
portant matter which he emphasized,
namely, that not enough tradition of
the Canadian. people is taught to our
primary school pupils, that more ern-
phasis on 'Canadian History should be
made to overcome this.
Principal P. B. Moffat of Seaforth
Public School, made some suggestions
•7:'�
with regard to sponsoring athletic ac-
tivities, but the main theme of his
discussion was the necessity for pro-
per training and proper association to
safeguard the moral health of our
primary school children.
A vote of thanks to the speakers
was moved by Lion President Hal
Meir, and a vote of thanks to the
ladies of St. Thomas' Church was
moved by Lion Jack Daly, thanking
them for their hospitality. The meet-

Announcement was made this
week in a statement issued by
Mr. E. L. Box, Chairman of
the Seaforth Public Utility Commis-
sion, that a contract has been let to t
Mr. W. H. Hopper. to drill a deep
water well on the lots just east of
Victoria Park, and Mr. Hopper is
now operating and has drilled to the
rock. The proposed well is to be
250 feet deep, the first drilling, of.
150 to be 12 inch hole, and the re-
mainder of 100 feet to be 10 inch'
hole,- which will allow for the inser-
tion of a pump of the capacity to lift
the desired flow of water, which is
expected will be five to six hundred
gallons per minute.
Seaforth has three wells ' at the
present time, which will yield 50,-75 •
and 175 gallons per minute....
Seaforth has a storage capacity of
200,000 gallons, the elevated tank
holding 60,000 gallons and the res-
ervoir 140,000 gallons.
Seaforth is enjoying. a period of
industrial prosperity and it is well to
be prepared for any fire hazards to-
gether with the meeting o£ increased
domestic consumption; which has
meant approximately ten additional
water, services each year for ten'
years. Then there is always a loss of
water through service leaks, and
those habitual users of water who do
not adhere to bylaws, and let the
plumbing taps run.
Additional services of the com-
mercial type show a marked increase
—for instance one refrigeration
plant uses 700,000 gallons a year,
another uses 500,000, the flour mill
uses 100,000, besides the many
smaller cold storage, and industrial
consumers added during the past ten
years.
When a fire alarm is sounded'
fire pressure pump is started at the
waterworks. If it is the gasoline
JAMES ROBB PASSES
FROM GAS FUMES
.James Robb, 83 -year-old • Seaforth
resident, and his sister, Miss Jane
1 87, were taken,:to Scott Mem-
orial Hospital here suffering from
lie effects of coal gas by which they
A overcome Monday night and
Tuesday morning in their cottage on
'West William street, • Mrs, Ritchie,
who lives nearby,. gave the -alarm just
before noon on Tuesday, and Neil
Gillespie and his sister, who are, nei-
ghbors, investigated, and gaining en-
trance to the • dwelling, found the
brother and sister unconscious in
their beds. Mr. Gillespie could notice
the smell of gas before reaching the.
house. Medical aid .was summoned
and the victims taken to hospital in
the ambulance. Gas is thought to' have
escaped from the furnace, which had
given some trouble previously.
Mr. Robb passed away on Wednes-
day about noon at the hospital. He
had long been a familiar figure here.
The family which originally came
from Scotland, lived in Harpurhey,
where kis father; the late' Hugh
Robb, kept a store. When about
twelve years of age, James Robb was
stricken with spinal meningitis dur-
ing an epidemic in the comnitmity,
and ever since then he had been
without his hearing. He will always
be fondly remembered by Seaforth
children with 'whom he was popular,
and many of whom learned to talk to
him on their fingers. Mr. Robb took a
pride in training the children in flag
chills. He was a carpenter by trade.
.Mr. Robb was a member of North
Side United Church. Besides his sis-
ter., he is survived by nephews and
nieces in Detroit. Funeral arrange-
ments have not been completed.
a
engine pump, it bas a pumping cap-
acity of 1200 gallons per minute,
and if it isathe motor driven pump
it will deliver 800 gallons per min-
ute,. and the pressure is put. to 100
lbs. Without the' pumps the elevat-
ed tank gives a pressure of 35 to 40
lbs. - Any factory that is equipped with
a sprinkler system makes an urgent
demand on water supply, for ins-
tance a factory will have. from 100
tos 11
OOO heads installed,
ed

and depending on the nature of the
inflammable goods, will create the
urgent demand of water, or in other
words a furniture factory might re-
quire the functioning of 25'sprink-
ler heads while a flash fire of inflam-
mable goods would release 100 to
150 heads, demanding a supply for
100 heads of approximately 2500
gallons per minute, a gallonage be-
yond our pumping capacity, and
also making a demand of our -pump-
rng capacity of 2000 gallons a min-
ute means that we could supply the
sprinkler system only for approxim-
ately. a little better than 90 minutes,
and we would have to revert to hose
lines, and the best we would supply
, water for, would be two lines with
1 4" nozzles,. and keep it up.
Aside from sprinkler systems,
Seaforth has ' sufficient water to
meet a five stream the for six hours
which is more than the required
standard for fire protection.
A few weeks ago the motor on
the 175 • gallon well burned out and
our water supply had to rely on the
other: two wells (125 gallons per
minute) which met all the demands
by practically continual operation,;
but it would have been lacking in
the •summer time. From a mechan-
ical standpoint this 175" gallon pump
should be pulled for inspection, but
we have been averse 'to this, be-
lieving it is better to let it run its
course when it is operating so splen
-
1 didly,. and even if it has given 20
n years service,- especially when we
have no alternate sufficient pumping
capacity.
We believe we are acting in the
interests' of the municipality and the
cost of chilling is being paid by the
P.U.C. When the well is completed,
the town council will have to decide
about the expenditure for pump.
Does Seaforth need another well.
1 Yes,'and prepare ourselves for twen-
ty years hence.
Surpluses are not built up for the
benefit of making the present gener-
ation nay the shot, but are usually
accumulated from the; increased re-
venue due to prosperity, when the
same operating costs` have not mat-
erially increased. Three years ago
the. horsepower used in Seaforth was
around the 000 mark, today it is
over the 1000 mark.'
The P.TT,C. closed the books for
19, showing a profit of approxim-
ately $2,500.00 in the electrical de-
- pa.rtment. Tis surplus in this. de-
partment is to v great degree con-
trolled by the H.P:P.C. of Ontario
In the water works department
we have a 'profit of $1,300,00 for
1944. In both departments we are

GOOD CARNIVAL AT
BRUCEFIELD RINK
The Brucefield rink has been a busy
spot all winter and the carnival Fri-
day night surpassed all expectations
when a record crowd turned out to
contest for prizes and to be onlook-
ers. The effort to get out was well re-
warded as there was a grand array
of costumes of every color and des-
cription, The carnival opened with a
broomball game between Clinton and
Brucefield, which ended in a 2 to 0
score in favor of the home team, and
laughs and fun no end, The ice was
not too hard and the ball being very
heavy added to the fun and it looks
like there may be more 'broom ball
games. This was followed by a grand
parade of all those in costume and
what an array of colour that turned
out to be. Fancy, comic, .large and
small, old and young, all enjoyed the
night of fun to the fullest. Prizes
went to those at home and others
went quite a distance, giving some
idea how far the crowd came to
skate and enjoy the fun.
