FEW CHANGES MADE IN.APPOINTMENTS
OF TOWN OFFICIALS AND REPRESENTATIVE
-,.
The highlight of theiadjourned meeting :of. theSeaforth
Council on Monday evening was the' notice of motion giv-
en by Reeve W. W. Crosier, that at the next meeting,. of
council he would introduce a by-law to pay members for
their attendance armeetings.• Rumoured for some time,
the suggestion of the Reeve did not come as a complete
surprise.
Reeve Crosier introduced the ques-
tion immediately after council had
gone • into committee of the whole to
discuss 'appointment of officials and
pointed out that the council gave a
lot of time and got nothing for it.
"There are -only a few places in
the county where they don't get same
renumeration;" he stated. "I think
a man is worth his hire. The town
-
:sliouldn't ask anybody to do it ' for.
nothing."
Recalling the trouble in filling ,the
present council, the Reeve said: "This
year we had to hunt up men to make
a council." He suggested $4 a meet-
ing for each member of council and'
$100 a year for the 'Mayor, and said
that he would introduce a bylaw at
the next -meeting of council.
"The townships pay their. council-
lors," said Councillor Purcell. "I was
in McKillop council in 1912 and 13
and each one got $50 and the Reeve
$80."'
Mayor Sutherland asked for an
opinion and each member present
agreed- with the suggestion.
Striking Committee Reports
The;°first item of 'business before
the council was' the report of the
Striking Committee, which was adopt-
ed on motion of Councillors Muri ay
and Purcell.The committees this
year will be'as follows: Finance—

ports of the Finance and Relief Com-
mittees. Mayor Sutherland pointed
out that there were now five families
on relief as compared to 20 last year.

ings of 1934. Greetings were read

Miss Jeckell Speaks
Ever since Miss Jeckeil'st first talk
to Huron Presbyterial four years ago,
the members have always expected
and received something inspirational
to start therm) out in the year's work
and were not disappointed. in 1935.
She said 1934 could not be changed
but that all of 1935 lies ahead. "What
are we going to do with it?" she
asked. "We meet to -day to take
stock and find our assets and our lia-
bilities. If we desire to be an asset
to our society we moot resolve to give
a life of service. We must not shut
our hearts to the calls for heap, but
most continue in giving and doing, no
matter hew smell the service."
Miser Jeokell congratulated the Y.

The annual meeting of the Seaforth
Horticultural Society was held in the
Carnegie Library on Tuesday even-
ing. The absence of the late Presi-
dent, Mr. William Hartry, was keen-
ly
eenly felt and a very fitting tribute was
paid to his untiring efforts: along
Horticultural lines. Mr. Hartry's en-
thusiasm and support were a big fac-
tor in the success of the local society.
"He was not only a local member
but was a member and at one time
president of the Ontario society. He
was the district representative for
years," said Mr. Porteous irrspeaking
of the society's loss. The chair was
occupied by the )sat Vice -President,
Mr. A. L. Porteous, who was subse-
quently elected President.
The. following officers were elected:
President, A. L. Porteous; est vice-
president, Miss Ethel Beattie; 2nd
vice-president, Miss Jean McLean;
ssecretary-treasurer, Miss E. M. Fer-
guson; Directors for two years, Mrs.

and Wm. Barber auditors, E. C, Bos-
well and T. R„ 'Clu.ff.
The Society plans to issue the
premium lists earlier this year and
it is hoped, that those who join will
co-operate with them in returning the
lies promptly as an early order means
securing better stock from the nurs-
e ries.
