COUNCIL MEETS MONDAY EVENING The town council held its Septem- ber session in the council chamber, Town Hall, on Monday evening. May- or J. J. Cluff presided, and others in attendance were Reeve J. F. Daly and Councillors J. E. Keating, F. S. Sills, I. Hudson, R. G. Parke and N. Hub- ert. The deputation which went to To- ronto to 'confer with the department authorities on the• use of town funds for assisting the Legion in, the exec - tion of a Memorial Legion Hall, re- ported arrangement .suggested , and it is expected the. town will provide sub- stantial assistance when plans and specifications for the proposed new building are completed. The town has also purchased a Welcome sign for returned men, whichwill be hung across Main Street in the course of a few days. Councillor Sills .introduced a mo- tion, to open the streets in the old agriculturalgrounds, which had been surveyed but never used. The streets, two in number, Robert and Buller, were registered in' the town plan in 1900, but the property, new owned by Mr. Thomas Ferguson, had re- mained continuously in a block until a few years ago, when the Shell Gas acquired a lot and erected a station facing on the highway. When opened, Robert Street will almost face Adams Street on the north side of the Highway, and Bul- lard Street will be a short distance west. Both streets will rah through to Market Street. In addition, pro- vision will be . made for two lanes running east and. west behind the front lots, which run to a consider- able depth. The opening up of this property, which has been used as farm land since 1898, when the Turf Club and Agricultural Society purchased the present agricultural grounds, will make available some of the finest residential building lots in Seaforth. When building restrictions are re- moved and material is again avail- able there is no doubt but 'advantage will be taken of • these sites to re- lieve the housing shortage which has existed in Seaforth for some years. In this connection, however, the council should impose certain build- ing restrictions, particularly on Gode- rich Street, which is the town's chief residential street, The Property Committee reported the sale of two lots on the corner of George and Jarvis Streets,. to C. H. Addicott, who intends to move, a house• from Winthrop on .to. the pro- perty. Messrs.

They've only had three in our time. All quiet men.- We can't write about all three in one column, so will begin with the first, Joe Mero. Joe was the greensman when the club moved to its present location. At that time there was no power rol- ler, nor mower. There wasn't too much grass on the green -either, and pushing the old hand roller over a patchy green wasn't too much fun. Joe was one man whose heart was in his work. Every blade of grass was his responsibility, and, he was meticulous to the nth degree. We used to like to go in and chat with him just to hear him talk. When he spoke in his Charles Boyer voice, You could imagine the French foreign Iegion marching. That was Joe . , , he talked like a legionaire and work- ed like a skilled. craftsman. Quiet man number two was Bobbie Joynt, and third on the list is Robert McFadzean, our present caretaker. At some other time we will mention these last two in our column, - On Wednesday of this week a trebles tournament had been planned but hail to be .postponed until next Wednesday.

Overseas Dear Mrs. Dayman: I would im- agine that by now you are aware of the fact that your son, Don (a per- sonal chum of mine), is about to leave for home. He might not be there for a few weeks yet, but the fact that he has left my troop indi- cates that he is on his "way home. Well, the 'real purpose of sen(iing this letter is to enolose this bit of souvenir from a Dutch family who took a sincere liking to him and was about to give it to him, but he had left a few hours before it was ready. These people then began to wonder how it was possible to get it to him and approached me with' the prob- lem, so I dec' .ed to send it to' you. for them, hopg you will pardon the liberty of w ting without previous acquaintance. They wish ,to convey to Don all that is best throughout the future -and to ask him to accept this tiny gift which is all that could be had in Holland as a token of their deep .appreciation for his friendship and for his contribution to the lib- eration of their country. Well here's hoping you see him real soon and that be would be just as nice a boy as when he left you years ago. He was my pal in every sense of the word, and no one wishes him mgre of the best than I do. I beg to re- main. Yours faithfully, D-116306 Sgt. Liverpool, G. A., . R.0-S.S, Att'd., 28th C.A.R., (B.C.
