For the second night in succession heavy rain threatened to wash out the Seaforth Lions Carnival on Friday. However, while the rain continued throughout the evening in the area, the weather cleared sufficiently in Seaforth to permit the frolic to go on, and the few drops of rain that fell failed to spoil the fun of the thou- sands who were in •attendance. The arrival of a parade,' headed by the Preston Boys' Band, and includ- ing the Seaforth Highlanders Band and Bannockburn Pipe Band at the park shortly after eight o'clock, was the signal for the start of the eve- ning's program, and from that time until the final act by the Lady in the Sky, there wasn't a dull moment. Despite the crowd- of nearly 6,000, there was no congestion in the seven aero park, or on the roads leading to the park. A detachment of six pro- vincial constables kept traffic moving and special parking attendants direct- ed cars to the parking lots in fields mads available by E. B. Goudie and Dale Nixon. Highlights of the program included two breath -taking acts by the Lady in the Sky, slackwire performance by El. Cliffe, and precision numbers by the Preston Band. A spectacular fire- works display climaxed the program. The draw for eight valuable prizes, which took place at midnight, result- ed as follows: 1st, W. G. Oak, 4 Con- nor Ave. S., Hamilton, ticket No. $18401; 2nd, W. E. Greer, Eden, Ont., No. 16931; 3rd, G. Harland, 158th Ave. Rd., Apt. 1, Toronto, No. 5341; 4th, S. A.

'accounts from Exeter, Clinton and Mitchell dis- trict boards covering tuition of Sea- forth district pupils. . The board in- structed Secretary M. A; Reid to in- form Exeter and the otherfe their ac- counts would not be paid, since no approval for the instruction of thg pupils: by other boards hada been giv- en and because transpo Cation and facilities were available tei the pupils at the Seaforth school. To avoid any future miIunderstand- ing, the secretary was j atructed to inform other district 'boaisaf its de- cision. Possibility, that the gum{l.' .entrance, now in the new north wing, would be changed to a point oppoaie the prin- cipal's office on the :west; side, was seen, as the board discii Sed means of eliminating the dangerus;ice con- dition that obtains at theft j resent en- trance.

Seaforth council at a special meet- ing eeting Thursday evening, instructed Town Engineer S. W. Archibald, to ,make a preliminary survey of the Sil- ver Creek drain sufficient to permit him to recommend to the council ac- tion to clear the flood conditions com- plained of by residents in the south- east corner of the tows'. dale. Archibald, who attended the meeting, , examined' the area, accom- panied by council. He is to take such, levels as may be' necessary to deter- mine the point at which a satisfac- tory outlet could be found. The meeting was the outcome of month's of correspondence between the engineer .and the town, which in turn arose as the result of a number of petitions from ratepayers in the area affected. It was pointed out that any scheme which would provide positive relief would be costly; because of the area and number of municipalities involv- ed. In a letter to council, briefly sidered at the. July meeting, Archibald pointed out procedures could be adopted: "Some time ago with Councillor Ross and John Cummings, I inspect- ed the area shown on the enclosed sketch (the area east of Main Street and the North Road). I reported verb- ally at the time that in my opinion the Town of Seaforth surface drain- age could best be handled by using the provisions of the Municipal Drain- age Act, particularly as the north and• northwesterly part of the town is as- sessed into the Lawrence Municipal Drain initiated by the Township of McKillop. "The procedure to follow is to ob- tain a petition of owners under sec- tion 2 of the Municipal Drainage Act of an area described to be benefit- ted. If a group of owners in Area 'A' (the northeast portion of the town) will sign such a petition, then the work could be carried to a sufficient outlet, which I believe could be found in the vicinity of the Canadian Na- tional ,Railway property, or at a point not far south of it. "An owner or owners in the vicin- ity of Area 'B' (the area surrounding Goderich Street East), or Area 'C' (the area in the southeast corner of town), could proceed against the up- stream owners including the Munici- pality to force the latter to provide relief from. flooding caused by water artificially draining upon the plain- tiffs' lands. "Either of the above procedures un- der the Municipal Drainage Act may be difficult. Every effort should be made to learn the procedure under which the present tile was laid on the east side of Coleman Street. If the Drainage Acts were used in any way at that time, then any present work would be an improvement or consideration of the former work, From my recollection the ditch which now crosses under Highway 8 about the east side of Coleman Street, was in its natural state a watercourse or creek. and as such could be improv- ed according to a by-law passed by your Council pursuant to the Munici- pal Act, chapter 266, section 404, sub- section 17. I quote: 'By-laws may be passed by the Councils of all munici- palities: Flooding . . . prevention of.' "For the purpose of preventing damage to any highway- or bridge, or to any property within the munici- pality by floods arising from the ov- erflowing or damming back of a river, stream or creek flowing through or in the neighborhood of the munici- pality. for acquiring land in the mun- icipality, or' in any neighboring mun- icipality or adjoining municipality, and for constructing such works as may be deemed necessary for that purpose, and for deepening, widening, straightening, or otherwise improving such river, stream or creek in the New Shop Opens in Temporary Quarters The Carol Lyn Shop, specializing in dresses andlingerie, opened tempor- arily in ,the Red Star building There - day. The shop is owned by Mrs. Hugh Chesney. • MORE D.P: s ARRIVE TO AID FARM LABOR con - Mr. that Ontario Regional officials of the National Employment Service an- ounced in Toronto that owing to improved transportation ,facilities, dis- placed persons are arriving in this country at an accelerated pace and it is now possible 'to fill applications for farm 'help within a very few days. During the past few weeks, approxi- mately 1,000 of these people have been placed• in employment on Ontario farms. Many farmers have already expressed their satisfaction with these new workers: These displaced persons are alflail- able for immediate employsiidnt on a year-round basis and afford an oppor- tunity for many farmers to' find, a solution to their tabor shortage prob- lem. If One or more workers are requir- ed, application May be niad'a' at the nearest National Kmploymo0 Quire, • • _ • • • Broken Jaw When he fell down a hay chute while assisting his father in the mow Friday evening, seven-year. old Beverley Taylor, son of Mr, and Mrs. Garnet Taylor, near Staffs suffered a broken jaw, lost four teeth and received injuries to his chin that necessitated • six stitches.

County- Crop Improve- ment Association held' a twilight field tour Monday in place of the full day scheduled program cancelled because of the lateness in the haying. Mem- bers under the direction of LeRoy G. Brown went to the Roy Brothers' farm, Londesboro, to view the rod row test of oats' and barley which was discussed by Professor R: Kreegan from the Field Husbandry, Depart- ment of the O.A.C. The group then went to E. Snell's. farm to see the pasture. Adjourning to the board room of the agricultural office in Clinton they listened' to recorded addresses by Professor R. G, Knox of the Animal Husbandry :Department of the O.A.C., and D. Hart, of Woodstock, whose taik was on hay making procedure- Mr. Knox spoke on "Pasture To the Res- cue," After the recordings the group discussed the various haying methods in present use. The meeting learned that the junior farmersin the district were to hold a church service on August 8 at the Clinton Collegiate grounds. • • $800 Damage As Cars in Collision One man was injured and damage of more than 5800 occasioned when two cars locked bumpers Friday on the 10th concession of Tuckersmith five miles east of Hensall. Henry Lawrence, Zurich, driving a 1947 model car, received facial cuts necessitating 12 stitches when his vehicle turned over twice in the ditch. Driver of the other vehicle, which was proceeding in the opposite direc- tion. was Jack McCloy, Kippen. He was uninjured and his, car only slight- ly damaged. ProvincialConstable Jack Ferguson, of Exeter, investigated, • Sacrifice and denial are absolutely necessary to any great achievement. land so acquired, or removing from it islands, rocks or other natural ob- s•tructions to the free flow of the water. "This work I' believe could be paid for only out of general funds. I en- close correspondence with the De- partment of Highways Resident En- gineer at Stratford." The correspondence from the De- partment of Highways to which Mr. Archibald refers, points out the ex- tent of the department's responsibil- ity concerning drainage under No. S highway within the municipality.
