The award is given to the student with the highest aggre- gate for ten Grade 13 papers.

Wood, Clinton. 41 In September he was awarded. a Reuben Wells Leonard Scholarship by the University of Toronto. This scholarship was for Ontario schools not situated, in the City of Toron- to, and was for excellence in any, department or departments, or for the highest aggregate in any nine Grade 13 papers. It has a total possible value of $1,020.00, which includes a cash grant plus four years free tuition at the Univers- ity of Toronto. In addition to the two scholar- ships mentioned, he was awarded the Alumni Memorial Scholarship valued at $25.00. The scholarship award is based on scholastic abil- ity, as well as on the student's ap- preciation of general school activi- ties. Part of his public school and part of his secondary school edu- cation Robert received while lying in bed. This handicap was caused by several major operations on his back, which necessitated lying months at a time in a Bradford frame. He attended Humberside Collegiate, Toronto, until coming to Seaforth last year. Specializing in mathematics, he entered Tor- onto University this fall.

Wed- nesday. The little girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Dantzer, was tossed 50 feet when strack by a car reportedly driven by Mrs. John Jack, of Walton, at the junc- tion of the highway and county road, on the eastern outskirts of the village. She died almost in- stantly. Bystanders at the scene of the accident said the spot has been known as a dangeroue crossing for some time, and repeated efforts have been made to have a warning light installed there. Local resi- dents said this is the first fatal accident at the crossing. • Huron County Coroner Dr. K. A. McMaster, Seaforth, summoned to the scene, said an inquest will be held at 10 a.m. Nov, 25, in the Town Hall, Seaforth. Death was due to a fracture of the base of the skull.

The meeting, held Monday night, was at the Community Centre, with B. J. Duncan and Wan. Hart in charge. W. J. Duncan extended an invi- tation to the bowlers and associ- ate members of the club to attend the annual ,meeting held Wednes- day. President W. T. Teall announc- ed the committees for the Christ- mas activities, and said that the Christmas tree would be Friday, Dec. 2,2. and the County Home vis- it would be Sunday, Dec. 24. B. J. Duncan offered apologies foretheespeaker from National De- fence Headquarters, who had been scheduled to address the club, Speaking for him, Mr. Dundan said the democracies were fighting only one enemy—Communist Russia. In this ideological warfare, many metbods of warfare were being us- ed, Besides using armoured wea- pons, the enemy was strong in. its underground work. It infiltrates into every possible place, such as labor organizations and youth groups: Mr. Duncan warned ev- eryone to watch for these people and arrest their activities when- ever possible. As far as Canada was concerned, in its fight against Communism, a special service brig- ade has been recruited, trained and was already on its way to a theatre of war. Canada was the first of the United Nations to name part of its troops as U.N. forces, con- cluded Mr, Duncan. He explained the Government's action in not sending troops to Korea at the start of hostilities, because Can- ada's army was composed of high- ly trained troops and replacements could not be trained nearly as quickly as a brigade for Korea could be. Wm. Hart tendered a vote of thanke to Mr. Duncan on behalf of the club. • Huron Federation Gives Scholarship The Huron Federation of Agri- culture has announced that Grant Morgan, R.R. 1, H,ensall, has quali- fied for the Federation,Scholarship donated to any Huron student en- tering the Ontario Agriculture College, Guelph.

Council Agrees To Extend Fire Protection Area in Tuckersmith. Fire protection for the Township of Tuckersmith was extended from the 23/2 -mile limit to five miles at Seaforth council's regular meeting on Monday evening. Reeve Arthur Nicholson and Councillor Andrew Crozier, of Tuckersmith council, appeared. as a delegation to obtain this extension. The five -mile limit will be measured south and west from the intersection of No, 8 Highway and Main Street, This extension is subject to the appoov- al of the Fire Brigade, and will be effective only until the end of the year. Councillor Christie described a set-up in Winghera, whereby the town and neighboring townships joined together to purchase fire- fighting equipment and made it available to all concerned. He thought that a similar arrangement with ,Seaforth, McKillop and Tuck- ersmith could be satifactorily work- ed out. Reeve Arthur Nicholson said+ that arrangements had been com- pleted previously with Stanley Township to purchase a fire truck for about $8,500.00 and ,station it at Brucefleld, but that Stanley Township reneged on the agree- ment. Council authorized the purchase of a copy of the 1950 revised Sta- tutes of Ontario. The contract for snowplowing was awarded to Cleve Carter, at the rate of $4.50 an hour. Mr. Carter is to supply two men for operating the plow. Representatives of a firm manu- facturing fibre sewer pipe waited on, council and demonstrated their product. In his street committee report, Councillor E. H. Close said that repair work had, been begun on the James Street drain, which runs past the hospital, turning at the Ann Street corner and emptying into Scott's Creek. Mayor Keating 'informed council that he had received complaints of taxis operating without a license. Council authorized the proper ad- vertising, advising the public that taxis were compelled to take out a license with the manicipality in order to operate legally. The by-law appointing polling stations, deputy returning officers and poll clerks, was given the re- quired three readings. Nomination night will be Monday, November 27, and the time for receiving such nominations will be from 7:30 to 8:30 P.m. Polling places and officials are: 1 and 2, Teall's Garage: C. A. Bar- ber, D.R.O., J. P. Bell, Poll Clerk; 3 and 4, Public Library: H. 3. Trap- nell, D.R.O., Mrs. Helen Bolton, P.C.; 5 and 6, Clarke's Garage; John Cardno, D.R.O., Wm, MacKay, P.C. The hours for voting will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m, On election day the voters of Seaforth will decide whether or not they want a garbage collection. The question discussed by council wasi whether it should be operat- ed as a public utility, whereby ev- erybody would pay and accounts would be rendered periodically like light and water 'bills, or whether the cost would be raised by direct taxation. Council decided to have the vote on the latter basis. Reeve Sills, in the earlier part of the dis- cussion, wanted the vote postpon- ed until colleen could decide on the most economical and efficient method of carrying out a garbage collection. In this respect, Coun- cillor E. H. Close thought a dump truck would be the most satisfac- tory method, as it. could be used for various other purpo4es, such fie hauling gravelsnowplowing and CONCERT ARTIST The second concert of the 1950-51 series will be held in the auditorium of the Seaforth District High School next Thursday, Nov. 23rd.

Let him tell the story: "I was working in my office the other day looking out the window, and 1 noticed an On- tario liscenced car drive up, so 1 asked one of the men where he was from when he came into the office. He said he was from a city about a hundred miles from Toronto. I asked him if he was from Strat- ford and he said that he wes. I told him that 1 was from Seaforth, and he knew Seaforth very well. He asked me my name, and j told him, Bert ' Shaw. He didn't believe me, so I showed him my birth cer- tificate. Then 1 asked him his name, and he said, Bert Shaw. 1 didn't know whether to be- lieve him or not, but he con- vinced me with his birth certi- ficate. His brother, George, played hockey for Seaforth about three years ago."

Establishment of Hydro f quency standardization headqu ters in Seaforth will be proceed with early in January, it was a nounced Thursday by A. G. Bre neman, London area head. Sele tion of Seaforth will resultein t employment here of between 3 and 44)0 men, and an administi tion staff of 50, until well in 1952, the said. While no estimate could be mad of the potential payroll, at a min mum of $5.00 per day, it can h anticipated that Seaforth will b assured of a monthly payroll of least $50,000 as a result of the move here. Accommodation for technical personnel of -Canadian Comstock, the conversion contractors, will be provided in a building rented from administrative group will be Robert Bell Industries, Ltd, The ad bas- ed in Cardno's Hall. The Bell In- dustries building consists, of 20,000 feet, while Cardno's Hall contains 3,500 feet. Both have been rented for one year, from January 1 next, with an option to renew, Frequency standardization Area D, of which Seaforth will be head- quarters, includes Tavistock, Strat- ford and St. Marys, to the east: Grand Bend, to the south, and Goderich, to the west The area extends north to the existing 60, cycle area. While no decision has been reached as yet, it is expected that standardization operations in Area E surrounding Palmerston, will al- so be carried, on out of Seaforth. Personnel for the Seaforth area will come here from Sarnia, The suggestion that adequate floor space could be made available in Seaforth was first advanced early last winter during conversa- tions between Seaforth P.U.C. of- gcials and representatives 'of the standarization division. .Stehsee quent investigations revealed Sea - forth facilities to be the most suit- able, and as a result the decision to base area headquarters here was arrived at. The Seaforth' Chamber of Commerce was instru- mental in bringing to the atten- tion of conversion officials the ad- vantages of locating here, and has assured the officials of its full sup- port and co-operation. Meanwhile hydro technicians will begin operation inventory commenc- ing the last week in November for approximately 730 customers of all classes served by the Seaforth Pub- lic Utilities Commiseion, This was announced by Hydro Chairman Robert H. Saunders, who added that the inventory of eus- tonaers' electrical appliances eand equipment was the first major step in the Commission's frequency standardization work in Seaforth. The listing of these appliances is expected to be completed during the first week in December. The inventory will be conducted in this manner: Hydro technicians will call on all Seaforth P.U.C. cus- tomers and make a systematic check itt homes and business plats es of all electrical appliances and equipment that have to be adjust- ed for operation on the higher frequency. Each of these items will be listed and allotted a special code number so that the netessaree, replacement partscan be ordered well in advance of the actual date of cha:ngeover from 25 to 60 cYcles. Co-operation of Seaforth custom- ers in making the inventory effec- tive was enlisted by Mr. Saunders. If appliances are acquired after the inventory has, been taken, he point- ed out. customers would assist themselves and the Commission if they would report these additions at ()nee to the nearest, Hydro Fre- quency Standardizaticin Office. The necessary replacement pelts, could then be ordered by Hydro, and lengthy delay in changing over such add.ed, equipment might be avoid ed. Inventorying usually recedes the actual frequency -etandardiza- tion work. in municipalities such ns Seaforth, by Cour to five months. to allow time for the delivery, of thousands of parts for the big changeover job. However, even with the early careful inventory, occasionally some material does not reach Hydro on schedule From the mperfacturer, and a customer may have to wait a few days after "Cutover Day" for an appliance to be altered for 60 -cycle operation, "Cutover Day" for Seaforth cus- tomers ie. scheduled for early; in April, 1951. There are an estimat- ed 584 domestic, 125 commertial, and 21 industrial users in SeafOrth and the load is about 1,1541 kilo- watts. s re- ar- ed. 8- 0' he 00 a - to e at Son (lining school -homework): "Say, Pa, the teacher want$ me tit find the greatest common Pa: "Glood gosh, IS that, thing, still ltia0 The teacher .had mo hunting for it when t school," aste'AleadaeheadeSieS,:eferheadeafeeeeiti•SdIidalleetithdraSeeeda,...a..teae.haisheiSattiegla:delkgiaaile se, da'A .a4 C.

Manners, he stated, are part or what a person knows, and part,of what he is. There ,is too ' nittch laxity around the home in the mat- ter of manners. Parents -ahotildi examine their own moral conduct first, before attempting to tell the child what is right and what is wrong. Children and their friend.hould be entertained in the home; if not they will be where they shouldn't be. Children in the home are more important than shiny furniture and polished floors. Parents need to show more fellowship towards their children.
