COMMITTEE REVIEWS
COLLECTION SCHEME
Council Postpones Propos-
ed Garbage' Collection
Decision.
A special meeting of the Seaforth
Town Council Thursday evening call-
ed to take action regarding the set-
ting up of a municipal garbage col-
lection scheme, arrived at no decision,
but referred the matter to a commit-.
tee of Councillors W. T. Teali and
E. A. McMaster, for a report. The
committee is to ascertain arrange-
ments in existence in other communi-
ties and the manner the scheme is
financed. With this report before it
council will then arrive at a decision.
Difficulty of using the existing'
dump grounds in Tuckersmith was
cited. as a reason why introduction
of a collection scheme should be pro-
ceeded with ,slowly. The anticipated
volume in the event of a town -wide
scheme was proceeded with, would,
it was suggested, tax the capacity of
the present site.

sumption quota agreed on by H.E.P.C.
officials when members of the Sea -
forth Commission consulted them in
Toronto this week. While the domes-
tic consumer is the only class now
affected with a cut-off from 9 a.m. to
10 a.m. from Tuesday to Friday, in-
clusive, it is pointed out by the PALO
that this is possible only through the
full co-operation of all consumers in
voluntarily reducing consumption at
all times. If the consumption in any
24-hour period tends to rise above the
quota, there can be no alternative to
resuming the cut-offs previously in
effect.
Records maintained at the sub -sta-
tion indicate that consumption during
the past ten days has remained at the
same level—abo'4t 2500 W.W.H. be-
low the normal business day usage.
This was the result of the cut-offs and.
voluntary savings effected by CO11511111-
ers.
Should It be necessary to reimpose
.cut-offs, every effort will be made to
give notice to consumers, but the
Commission points out that under the
circumstances this may not be pos-
sible.

School Team Defeats
Grads At Basketball
Last Thursday night the S.H.S. Sen-
iors and the 'Grade" again met in a
basketball ,game, and the school team
emerged the victorsby a score of
54-44. The High School team had the
edge in play throughout most of the
game, although, Ray Boussey, of the
"Grads" was the highest scorer, with
25 points, and also the mainstay of
the "Grads." Don Stewart was next
with 20 points for the High Sebool,
Play was fairly even in the first
quarter as it ended with the High
School leading 12-8. The axe fell on
the "Grads" in the second quarter
when the high schoolers piled up an-
other 21, and the best the "Grads"
could do was six, leaving the High
School with a wide margin, 33-14, at
the half -way mark.
The third quarter was again even,
each team netted 11 pointe, to leave
the score at three-quarter time, 44-25.
In the final quarter the High Scheol
team waited along and picked up 10
points, enough to hold their lead, but
the "Grade" apparently had some life
left in them, and they picked up 19
points, to cut the school's lead con-
tilderably.
The game, refereed by Archie Mul-
ford and F. A. Dobson, was unusually
clean and only 12 foals were *had
out. The smooth passing plays WOrk-
ed by the School Oath were knit too
mueh for the Sharp-Shboting and blaz-
ing breakaways of 13oussey.

Seaforth Bosharts and Mitchell Leg-
ion battled to a two -all deadlock here
after 10 minutes of overtime Friday
night 'in the opening game of their
Intermediate "B" group finals.
The first period went scoreless,
with only one penalty, Bousey of Sea -
forth serving the time in the box.
In the second period Mitchell took
the lead when Walther scored the op-
ening counter at the 14 -minute mark.
One minute later McLean tied the
count for the Seaforth Bosharts.
In the third period Seaforth broke
the one -all tie when O'Shea's long
shot found the Mitchell net. The shot
was made from the blue line through
a maze of playees. Seaforth was put-
ting on an. attacking burst and near-
ly every player on, the ice was inside
the Mitchell blue line when the puck
sailed out from a scrimmage.
Mitchell staged a comeback which
was rewarded with the tying goal,
with one minute to play. Webber
Scored when be intercepted a passout
from Kennedy, who was behind his
own net and was clearing the puck to
his own blue line.
There was only one penalty la the
entire 60 minutes of regulation time
and two penalties in the 10 -minute
overtime period. The two penalties
in overtime were served by McFadden
of Seaforth and Webber of Mitchell.
Neither team could take advantage of
the shortage in manpower.
