ir.g. The• memlbe_s were all present

The discussion was pereipitated by
the reading of a letter from the Hy-

C. letter of July 5th, be published in
local papers and that local, consum-

IThe letter is as follows:
" JuIy 5th, 1933.
Mr. John A. Wilson,
• Sea, Public Utilities Com.,
Seaforth, Ont.
Dear Sir:
On the recent visit of a representa-
tive of the Municipal Audit depart•
•
meet •to --your municipality a list of
consumers' accounts . in arrears was
made, copy of which. is attached here-
to. Clause 49, Standard Interpreta-
tions of Rates, distinctly states the
method of collection for those ac-
counts in arrears. This'•ciause is as
follows:
"When the consumer is fifteen days
in arrears for two months' service,
fie service shall be discontinued, and
service shall not be given again un-
til payment is made in full, includ-
ing a charge of $1..00 for the cost of
reconnecting. Such discontinuance of
service does not relieve the consumer
of the liability for arrears or, for his
service charge or minimum bills for
the balance of the term of contract.
The corporation may if deemed ad-
visable, awake more rigid require-
ments regarding payment of hills."
(We would . ask you to impartially,
carry opt the instructions contained
in the above regulation and give
these accounts mentioned herein your
close attention.
The Commission will purchase
automatic meters. It was moved by
E. L. Box, seconded by Mayor. Suth-

Splendid Program of Sports

Band Plays.
PICNIC ATTENDANCE .
BIGGER THAN EVER
'Perfect weather and an interesting
program, which included the unveil-
ing of the Bayfield memorial cairn,
attracted the largest crowd in his-
tory to the annual Huron' County
Veterans' picnic at Bayfield on Wed-
nesday afternoon.
In early afternoon the cars began
the trip •to the lake and by three
o'clock the large Square was com-
pletely filled.
'Shortly after three o'clock the im-
pressive .program, preceding the un-
veiling of the cairn, was beg -un. The
service opened with the singing of
"0 God, 0•ur Help in Ages Past," led
by the - Clinton Kiltie Band, and was
followed by prayer by Rev. R. M.
Gale, of Bayfield, Gordon Peddie,
Bayfield, read the lesson from St.
John 15:1-17. -
Major, the Rev., Canon E. Apple -
yard, M:C„ Seaforth, was the speak-
er.
"We cannot do without heroism to-
day. We need courage more than ev-
er • before. ' We have tired of. the
word depression for it is a nasty
word, but we must face the, fact that
during the past four years there has
'been another great contest, calling
for the same resolution which your
even so nobly displayed in 1914-
1918," said, the speaker. • He also
praised the- spirit which :prompted the
cairn on a beautiful and chaste site
Where it could be seen by all and
spoke of the spirit of comradeship
which developed among men on the
battlefield and which had been per-
petuated. "To -day, as never before,
Nelson's famous dying words, 'For
God and country,' stand out as a
challenge to Canada's manhood just
as they did at Trafalgar," said Can-
on Appleyard.
"Unto the Hills Around" was sung
and the names of Bayfield's fallen
heroes was ,read. Rev. F. H. Paull,
Bayfield, dedicated the cairn and the
tablet on which were inscribed the
names was' unveiled by Mrs. Currie
and Mrs. Toms.
Representatives of various organ-
izations placed wreaths on the cairn.
This was followed by the Last Post,
One minute of silence and .Reveille.
The ceremony concluded with the
singing of the National Anthem led
by the Band.
A full program of sports resulted
in many popular wins, as follows: -
