A snowstorm of polar propor- tions swept down upon Seaforth and district Tuesday night and con- tinuing throughout Wednesday and most of Thursday. It was probab- ly the worst storm of the winter, at least as far as hampering traf- fic was concerned. While the pro- vincial, county, township and local snowplows were out in full force, little could be seen of their work during the height of the storm. Motor traffic in Seaforth was brought to a standstill, as cars were being stalled in snow in the middle of the streets. Hydro and telephone services, were not ser- iously interrupted. The school buses encountered a great deal of difficulty on Wednes- day. They left as usual in the morning, and met with little trou- ble except for visibility. By 2:00 p.m. the storm had increased in such intensity that Mr. Habkirk, the owner of the school buses, deemed `it advisable to leave then, so that the drivers could be back before dark. However, snow stop- ped most of them en route and many of the pupils had to be brought back and billeted in town, According to Principal L. p, Plum - steel, most of the pupils hall rela- tives in town, and securing billets ,for the remainder wasa't a great Ydeal of trouble. No attempt was made by the bus drivers on Thursday morning to begin . their routes. "Attendee* at the high school was down, but not as much as one would expect," Mr. Plumsteel said. The ton -n street committee had crews and plows working early Thursday morning to clear the streets of the' town. • Filmore Chappel, Cromarty, President Of Perth Federation Clayton Bender, Gowanstown, president of the Perth County Fed- eration of Agriculture, was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Hibbert Federation of Agricul- ture in Staffa Hall. During a business period, the farmers were unanimous in their support of warble fly spraying in the township, and felt it should be continued each year until the warble fly Is under control. Rev. A. Daynard, Staffa, was chairman during the election of officers. The officers elected for the year are: President, Filmore Chapple, Cromarty; vice-president, August. Ducbarme, Dublin; secre- tary-trea.surer, Fergus Lannin. Dublin; association treasurer, Ed- ward Dearing. Staffa; directors, Elmore Kleinfeldt, Mitchell; Ed- ward Melady, Charles Roney, Lorne Balfour, M. Coyne, Dublin; K. Rice, J. M. Scott, C. H. Dow, Staffa; S, Grehatn, M. Dow, M. Cbristie, W. T. Harper, Cromarty; .A. Hackney, Kirkton; C. Horton, Hensel], Mr, Bailie, of the Mitchell High School staff, showed National Film Board films. At the close of the program lunch was served. In his opening remarks, Mr, Bender said it was his policy to visit the townships from time to time to keep in touch .with the various programs and bring infor- mation to the different farm groups. "You know that farmers are in- clined to become impatient with the federation, but I think it Is pretty well,- agreed. that all farm groups are. Much better off, and, are able to place complaints before Highlanders'Band Reviews Year's Work at Meeting Seaforth Highlanders Band held its annual banquet and meeting Thursday night in St. Thomas Parish Hall. It attendarice, besides members of the band, were mem- bers of Seaforth Council and Reeve. Following the delicious dinner serv- ed by the Ladies' Guild, Reeve F. S. Sills spoke briefly on behalf of Mayor E. A. McMaster. In speaking on the ipportant part played by the band munici- pal life, Reeve Sills mentioned that the band has always been a repre- sentative of the town. A band is always a pleasure to older people, for it makes them think of days gone by. Thanking the band for what they had done during the past year, Reeve Sills wished it continued success. "Instruments look much better when polished and held, straight out," was the Reeve's only criti- cism of the local music group. E. H. "Al" Close, leader of the band, was then' called, upon by the president of the Band Association, D'Orleon Sills. "If all members of our band loved music as I do, we would have the most wonderful band in the district," Mr. Close as- serted. "Although the band re. ceives much competition from sports as far as players are con- cerned, people grow too old for .sports, but music goes on for years after sports," the bandmaster con- tinued. "If the members keep up their interest in the band, it will become the best yet; but there still is a great lack of players with a desire to play," Mr. Close conclud- ed. Councillor A. W. Sillery thanked the women of St. Thomas' Church for the .bahquet on behalf of the council and the band. A. Y. Me - Lean, M.P., in a telegram, express- ed his regret at being unable to be present. Following the banquet, the band retired to the band rooms for their yearly meeting and election of of- fficers, with President D'Orleon Sills presiding. Frank J. Sills read the minutes of the 1950 meeting. Report by the secretary -treasur- er showed the band with a bal- ance of $351.15 at December 31, 1950. .. Part of this balance is to be used by the property commit- tee for the purchase of new spats, socks, etc. • Five replies were received for the position of leader of the High- landers Band, but none was sati- f actory. The 1951 band executive was then chosen, with Frank Sills mov- ing up to the president's chair. Walter Scott was chosen as vice- president after being chairtnan of the 1950 property committee. Sec- retary -treasurer's duties were hand- ed to Diane Mowat. Property com- mittee, headed by D'Orleon Sills, chairman, include also Gordon Rowland and George Shaw. By motion of the entire band, Senator W. H. Golding and A. Y. McLean, M.P., were elected hon- orary presidents. A general discussion followed the election. A tattoo is being planned by the band for some time early in the summer. It is the hope of the executive to bring in five or six bands and a vaudeville show. A representative of the hand is be- ing sent to the Legion meeting concerning the tattoo arrange- ments and a dance following it. On motion of George Shaw and Oliver Pryce, E. H. Close was re- hired as leader, although he form- ally retired last year. It has been found necessary to revert from Thursday to Sunday nights for their summer concerts. Last year they took in $100 less than in the previous year. The executive also found it hard to get other bands to come in on Thurs- day nights. • • RED CROSS NOTES During the Winnipeg flood disas- ter last spring, the Seaforth Red Cross Society sent the following goods, which went by air force from Windsor: Thirteen quilts, several boxes of mixed clothing, babies' wear con- sisting of four bonnets, six shires, 16 pairs of batees; 2 dressiest gowns; one girl's coat. • Peru has the highest of the An- des Mountains.

The speaker said that'at the pro- vincial annual meeting in Toronto this year there was a feeling of unity add. co-operation among the different commodity groups that seemed to 'be lacking at last year's provincial meeting. "We need more financial support to carry out the program iri. the. Ontario organization; however, no one should get too shocked about this," the spea-ker said, "because\ 50 cents a farm paid into the pro- vincial federation treasury would double its present income." In referring to the Perth Coun- ty Medical Services, Mr. Bender said that as of December 31 this organization was put under the supervision of inspector of insur- ance and thiS means rates must be increased. The auditor, In his an- nual report to the Perth Medical Services, had stated that Perth was the best 'financed coUtity in the Droller authorities, Whether 1 Ontario. , • .3 • , • - Ai iad e. iJLL41;1 t'Idt SEAFORTTI,4Y, FEBRUARY 9, 194 TuckersmithCouncil Adopts WarbleFlyControlMeasures Otr f"f °Renews Fire Protection LIBRARY BOARD Agreement With Sea - forth.
