The meeting which followed the official nominations indicated a keen desire on the part of those attending to learn the story of the town's busi- ness during the past year. After serving the town for thir- teen years, first as a particularly ef- ficient and well-informed councillor, and during the past two years as chief magistrate, Mayor M. A. Reid announced his retirement. He will be succeeded by Mr. J. E. Keating, who has been on the council for thir- teen years, and who was elected by acclamation when Mr. R. G. Parke, a former Mayor, did not qualify. That the businesslike policies that have characterized town business during many years will be continued under Mr. Keating's guidance, goes without saying. Mr. Keating, during his years on council, has served on the finance committee, and had much to do with the town attaining the enviable financial position it now holds. The excellent representation Sea - forth has enjoyed at Huron County Council was recognized when Reeve Frank Sills was given his third ac- clamation. There will be an election for Coun- cil, nine having qualified for six posi- tions. In choosing their representa- tives on Council, ratepayers, no doubt, will give earnest considera- tion to the experience and proven capacity of those members of last year's council, all of whom are again offering their services. For the first year in many years it looked as if citizens would be call- ed upon to vote for a Public School Trustee. However, Mr. M. R. Sav- auge, who had qualified, resigned Tuesday night, and Mr. John Stev- ens was thus elected by acclamation. If the interest shown in the school board position reflects an awakening concerning the operations of the School Board on the part of Seaforth citizens, it cannot but be of benefit to the community as a whole. Too frequently in the past rate- payers have been prone to take for granted the school board, forgetting that not only is it responsible for the spending of a large portion of the tax dollar, but that on its policies to a great extent depend the kind of citizens the boys and girls of today will become in twenty years. Regardless of how one feels about the various candidates, or who may be 'elected, it is the duty of every cit- izen to get out and vote on Wednes- - day, December 8. • Countp Council Bp -Laws Huron County Council, at the final session for the year, dealt with two mattersthat affect every citizen of the County. In determining to estab- lish within Huron a county -wide Health Unit, the council acted in a foresighted manner. While the cost -estimated at $57,000.00 per annum, of which the Province pays approxi - Mately half by way of grants -may e considered high by some, it is a re pittance considered in the light the :Saving to the county, which wl accrue d;s a result of the improv - health , of its citizens. It must be embered' that : every day's illness oto d by' . citizen of Huron, af- ..� ;nal '1t, of his potential ,hat day the econoy prosperous county Under the old "system, whereby medicaldamn of health were ap- pointed by each municipality, the ex- tent to which reasonable standards were maintained depended to a great extent on the particular medi- cal man holding the position. Invar- iably he was underpaid when one considers the time required, and the abuse to which he was all too fre- quently subjected. Added to this was an apathy on the part of the Boards of Health and the pub- lic with regard to the necessity of the enforcement of regulations designed to protect the community. Under the proposed system this will no longer be the case. A quali- fied medical practitioner, working full time, will head an organization charged with the supervision and enforcement of hygienic practises on a county -wide scale. While it may be unpopular in some quarters, the citizens as a whole cannot help but be t by the adoption of the plan. After recording its approval of the health unit plan, council consid- ered a pension plan for county em- ployees. When a committee report favoring the project came before council, it was adopted. But the next day council, in a surprising re- versal of opinion, refused to pass the necessary by-law. A pension plan operated jointly by the county and its employees, and to which each would contribute, would through the years save many thou- sands of dollars to the county, in bet- ter workers -employees Whose fu- ture is secured. As a class, municipal employees are faithful servants of the people. They are paid less than others oc- cupying similar positions in private industry. They are the first to feel the effects of bad times through re- duced wages or salaries, and are the last to ,have their remuneration rais- ed in good times. That this is true is recognized by almost every muni- cipal council who retains on its pay- roll employees Of many years stand- ing, who because of advancing years are no longer fully effective. The councils know full well that public opinion would not countenance their turning out such employees who had given their best without regard to their future. How much better it would be were a regular pension scheme set up, whereby at a certain age, retirement was automatic. The employee would know his future was assured. The county would know where it stood. The estimated annual cost of 12 cents a year per an average farm assessed at $5,000, would seem small in com- parison to the benefits that would result. • McLeans Hold Record (Fergus News -Record) Some weeks ago, this page compli- mented the James Family upon own- ing ' the Bowmanville Canadian Statesman for seventy years. The original owner, M. A. James, is dead. His son, George James, is one of the most widely known Canadian edi- tors. George's son and nephew are now connected with the business. Third generations are not uncom- mon in Canadian journalism. The Fergus News -Record provides one example, nearly 50 years in one fam- ily, but we thought the James Fam- ily record of 70 years might be un- ique. But that isn't so. The McLean Family of Seaforth can beat that by ten years. The Huron Expositor was bought by the late M. Y. McLean from Ross and Luxton in the late sixties. Mr. Luxton left for Winni- peg and founded the Winnipeg Free Press. Mr. Ross went to Toronto to go into polities with some success, for he became Sir George Ross, Pre- mier of Ontario. Mr. McLean stay- ed in Seaforth and started the fam- ily tradition. He died in 1916 and his son, Keith McPhail McLean, con- tinued as editor until he died in Sep- tember of this year. His son, A. Y. McLean, is now editor of The Huron EXpositor. That is probablyy a record that will stand for a whiles, ADOWS "SIGNALS" I was Haat Making tadtey of the many strange. little ways in which married people grow to knew eaOhl other. How by littlepersonal sig- nals, looks and expressions, they know exactly how they feel about certain things and people. The danger signals that 'flash when the conversation treads on dangerous ground. Of course the most expressive of all is the little kick tinder the table. For instance, we were din- ing out last night. There were a few rounds of applejack that would do credit to a Kentucky moonshiner . .. and then we went in to supper. Like all men, I suppose my tongue started wagging just a trifle too freely. Whamm! My but a hard 'heel can administer a stinging blow to a poor defense- less ankle or shinbone. I choked over a mouthful of food and an- swered the questioning glances that were thrown in my direction by coughing. But forgetting discretion, I went ahead and started in to tell of some of the wife's relations. Boy another smashing blow on the shins. Halfway, into, the story I had to stumble around and tap- er off my story by telling about the price of wheat in Chicago. I suppose they thought it *as the applepack. Little did they realize that it was the foul blow on the shins that had caused it. Going into the parlor I managed to get far enough away that I was out of range of the hard heels. But it did not make any differ- ence. It just seemed' as if I could never start one of those stories about our folks without glancing up and catching •the danger signal in Mrs. Phil's eyes . . . a gleam- ing, little look with a slightly wrinkled nose. My, but that ex- pression conveys a multitude of words without her saying anything at a11. When the danger look failed there was always the little cough. That sudden, little hacking that By Harry I. Boyle seemed 80 natural to everyone but me, 13nt there it was .: just like a red light stiddonly looming up to tell there's danger ahead. Sometimes I managed' to bluff through it . 'bet after a few words I seemed to lose heart and let the conversation slip from me 'and into safer eh,aune's And last night wets only` an lade cation of the many time's .that such a. things occurs. I'll always re- member anelderly friend of mine •saying that after so many years, some strange power seems, to make two •people think alike on many subjects. Maybe you've noticed it y6lrrself i Sitting in the parlor or kitohen, perhaps reading ... . you on one side . . . your wife on the other. Everything's quiet . the chil- dren in bed . .. and you're quite engrossed in your newspaper or bodk. There suddenly you look up and start to say something, and at the same moment your wife looks up and starts to tell you the exact same thing. What is it that makes you do that? Well, I've never been able to fathom that and what makes it even more strange is the fact that you'll start to talk about somebody that you haven't thought about for ages: The strange ways'. in which peo- ple who are married grow together may ,be embarrassing at moments such as when you feel that hard shoe against your ankle, but nevertheless it saves you many embarrassing moments later on. You can generally count on your wife being right about what you are starting to say . . . •should be left unsaid. , Life is filled with many of those unaccountable Tittle things such as the ones I have mentioned. Per- haps some day a man will explain them • to us in detail. However, now as it stands . . , we just let them go by, wonder a little about them at the time .and the times when we got clanked on the shins we dismiss as being the re- sult of superior judgment on the part of the womenfolks. • Just A Smile Or Two An Irishman, inviting a friend to his wedding anniversary, ex- plained how to find him in the apartment building /where he liv- ed.

Nobody in these parts seems to keep camel's," Huron Federation Of AgricultureFarmNews Danish Butter Danish exporters have expressed concern at the present butter marketing system in Great Bri- tain. Under this system all im- ported butter is mixed and market- ed as "national butter." This .prac- tice, the Danish trade claims, brings about loss of prestige for high quality Danish butter form- erly marketed under its ow n name. They are asking that She system of indicating the country or origin be re -introduced. British Parcels Limited to 20 lbs. There are only a few restric- tions on the entry of Canadian gift parcels into the United Kingdom. They must contain bona fide un- solicited gifts and must pe mark- ed as gifts. The contents zine sub- ject to customs and/or purchase tax, but for the present gift food parcels are admitted without cus- toms charge„ provided 'they con- tain foodstuffs only and no other goods. Canadian postal regulations lim- it the gross weight to 20 pounds (not 22 pounds), when parcels are forwarded by parcel post. Oilcake Meal Despite some early concern re- garding the short supply of lin- seed oilcake meal, feeders are swinging over rapidly to a. greater usage of higher protein soy bean oil meal which is not as costly at present and is apparently avail- able in adequate quantities. Linseed oileake meal, or oilcake as it is commonly called, is a by- product in the manufacture of lin- seed oil and its availability is de- pendent, among other things, on the market for linseed oil. Unfor- tunately demand has fallen off for this latter product with a result- ant drop in oilcake production, al- though Canada has had. one of the largest flax crops for a great many years. August Feed Shipments Prepared stock and poultry feed shipments during August increased by some 100,000 bags over the July total, despite an equivalent drop in poultry feed movement. The sample survey of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics showed a to- tal of 2,202,695 bags and indicates that most of the increase was ac- counted for by shipments of dog and cat food, although the tonnage of hog feeds and dairy feeds also was larger. The dry, condition of pastures during the latter part of August no doubt caused the upward trend in !Wry feed shipments which" was noted in all proving except British Columbia, Watch For Moths, Carpet Beetles Carpet ;beetles, as their name im- plies, and as many a Canadian housewife ,knows, are notorlotis for .

They also attack other materials, of animal origin and are often as- sociated with clothes moths in their ravages to clothing and var- ious household fabrics. The methods for controlling clothes moths are also effective in combating carpet beetles, but con- stant vigilance is needed. Even though thorough precautions are taken to store away articles used only occasionally, those which are in more general use should be in - ted and brushed at frequent in- tervals particularly, but not on- ly, dr.ring the warm months of the warm months of the year. Paph- thalene flakes or paradichlor- benzene.....scattered in clothes clos- ets or suspended in small bags is a wise precaution. Frequent use of a vacuum clean- er on carpets and upholstered furn- iture and other articles suspected of injury is a groat aid in control- ling carpet beetles. When carpets or rugs are suspected of being in- fested they shouldbe thoroughly cleaned on both sides with a vacuum cleaner. Cleaners and their attachments may be usedfor removing lint from such places as floor cracks, behind baseboards and the airshafts of heating equip- ment. There are a number of sprays on the market which aid in control- ling moths and carpet beetles, anis' the moth -proofing substances for sale have definite value when us- ed according to directions. 1948 Meat Production Total meat production in Canada in 1948 has shown all increase of 11 per cent over the previous' year and a decline of eight per cent fr m the record production of 1944. The total supply for 1948 is esti- mated at 2.3 billion pounds of which 1.5 billion pounds was handed through inspected plants. As compared with 1947, it is expected that inspected siaughter- lirgs of hogs• will have increased five per cent in 1948, cattle 12 per cent, and calves 14 per cent, but sheep and lambs will have declin- ed 16 per cent. Total exports. of meat remained much the same in each of the last twc years. IncreaePs in exports of beef in 1948 offset declines in exports . of pork. The amount, of dressed beef exported to the Unit- ed States is expected to be approxi- mately the same as that exported to the United .Kingdom in 1947. This resulted from a 'raid -year change In the United Kingdom beef agreement, followed by the lifting of the Canadian embargo on beef s'hipnientss to the United States, emaifiderof the production The r :.a total of 1.9 billion pounds, or 86 per cent of the total --has ,bsew available for dorfiestic time: M", Len and on Wednesday attending the fall ceremony session of Mocha Temple Shriners.
