Seaforth turned in its second win
in as many weeks on Tuesday night
'when they 'defeated 'Winthrop 1-0 in
ret scheduled Huron League football
game here. Throughout the whole
playing time it was anybody's game
with the deciding factor being a foul
kick. Harold Nicholson took the
Irick and placed the ball directly in
front of the goal, Art Finlayson talc-
ing it on, the chest to relay it to Al-
lan Nicholson wilt; booted it in for
the counter.
Just as the timekeeper's warning'
sounded another goal was' scored but
it was not allowed. The Winthrop
team declared that in the first goal
D. Sills was offside, but the referee,
Emmet Malone,of St. Columban, did
not uphold their stand -and allowed
the game -to continue. " After ._ the
game there was a little squabbling
but nothing was done.,
From start to..finisb it was a toss-
up which would tally first. 'Mere
was little to choose between the
teams. Both goalies were called on
St times to come to the rescue of
tt,c-ir teammates. At the close of the
game the Winthrop boys gave three
lusty cheers for the Seaforth' team.

COMMENCE JULY 2
Seaforth citizens will pay taxes at
the same rate as in 1937, members of
the town council decided on Monday
evening as the rate was set at 43
milia. While the rate was not re-
duced, the council has financed its
work in such a way that it will be
enabled to nearly complete the Main
Street sidewalk's out of „current rev-
enue, rather than issue debentures.
A resolution from Kitchener city
council suggesting changes in the
assessment act to provide for the
levying of a head tax on all citizens
between the ages of 21 and 60, not
now appearing on the assessment
1.011 and earning more than $100 per
year, met with little favor frorn the
council and was ordered filed. The
resolution appeared to be directed
mainly at young single women earn-
ing good wages, but not contributing
anything for municipal services which
they erOoy. Single men now contri-
bute through the poll tax.
"We might approve it in theory,
but 'how are you going to prove the
individual has earned $100?” asked
Councillor Sills. "How are you going
to collect it?"
"The idea is to make these people
bear part of the burden, but whether
it would be workable or not is an-
other matter," commented Mayor J.
J. Cliff.
Co-operating in the annual first of
July celebration in Seaforth, council
instructed the property committee to
purchase a large Union Jack. The
town for some time has lacked a suit-
able flag which it will now have avail
ablesionsfor holidays and special occa-
.
Council discussed at length th? side•
walk program for this year. and an
company with S. W. Archibald and
H. Edge, engineer and contractor re-
spectively on- last year's job, went
thoroughly into the work done to
date.
Work en the east sidewalks will
commence July 2nd, Councillor Chas.
Holmes, chairman ofthe streets com-
mittee, intimated to council.

the natal &pot and to the appealing
associations of home and' kindred was
