PARKE The congregation of St. Thomas' 'Anglican Church presented R: G. Parke with a rest -rocker chair and wallet at a social gathering Wed- nesday .evening, in,.bh-e. Parish Nall. The honoring of Mr. Parke was in recognition of 30 years' service aa an official of the church, During' this period of years he has served' as people's warden, rector's war- den and treasurer. The presentation was made by Robert Archibald and T. T. Jack'. son, on behalf of the congregation. Following is the address which was read by John Earle: Dear Mr. Parke: After so many years • of service as warden and treasurer of St. Thomas' Church, your resignation has affected the members of the congregation very deeply. Each one frpm his own ex- perience can recall many kindly acts of courtesy which -have placed you'high, and rightly so, in the re- spect and esteem of our member. And also, everyone is aware of the fact that the care and preservation of the- chureh :property has always been foremost in your thoughts and the first charge upon your free time. • Certainly; the hours, spent in service., over these many years could 'bet be counted, but we know th .t, they -have- ee a ..been . fr_eely.-,giKen without hope or expectatlan-of-tee ward or recompense. Such service should never be per- mitted to be brought to an end without appreciation or acknowl- edgment. Indeed. this was the thought and feeling of the entire membership when you resigned. And so this gathering of the chlrch members has been brought togeth- er for the sole purpose of express- ing to you, in some manner our very strong and sincere apprecia- tion of your unselfish work and ef- forts on our behalf for such a long period of tithe.; And as a tangible token of the high regard in which you are held we ask you to accept this gift, and with it our best wishes for your continued health to enjoy it. On behalf of the officers and members of St. Thomas Church, Seaforth. Yours most sincerely: H. G. Metre Vestry Clerk; T. T, Jack- son, Warden; . Robert Archibald, Warden; William A.

Si33s presided ALA* regular ,meeting of Seaforth Coon- ell on Monday evening,. in the aeb, 'sence of Mayor E.. A. "McMaster.,. 'Ail councillors were present. A request was receivedfroni the Sehool Board to (1)- extend: --the water service on 'Market,St.; (2) provide electrical service'. for the new school; (3) resurface Market St. and bailee a new eidewelk on the north side from the corner at Sperling St. to the .school proper- ty, repair and 'widen the sidewalk' on the south side. Council was of • the opinion that the water service, as n ' ried in (1) should not be extended, as it is now at the school property, and--thatels-as-far-es-fi town• is committed to put it; the wiring is a P.U.C. matter, and the resurfac- ing of Market St. and new' side - walkers in (3) is being held over for further' consideration. The question of "who pays for it?"' was raised in the discussion on a new sidewalk. for Market St., since new walks are only put in by a petition of the ratepayers con- cerned. I•t was also felt that exist- ing hydrants in the school• area would be sufficient to provide pro- per fire protection. Reeve F. IS, ;Sills, at a previous meeting of council, gave a notice of .motion to ;bring in a by-law on store closing. He raised the mat- ter •for discussion, and Councillors Crich and Sharp were of the opin ion that such a move should come direct from the merchants.

Council was informed ina letter from the headquarters of the 'On- tario Provincial Police of the new rates for policing, to be effective January_d., 3953- eThe selare sa constables was increased from $2 590.00 to $3,300.00. It was point- ed out , that in spite. of the' new irk creased rates, the net cost to the town would be no more than under the previous, system, • where the town hired.its own constables. The town receives a rebate of 25 per cent of the cost •of policing when the services of the Ontario Provin- cial Police are utilized. A letter from"•t'he district•'veter- Icarian stated that' a number of pigs were eating refuse from the town dump, and as this might re- sult` in food_ contamination, the practice must stop. The matter of the town's responsibility was rais- ed, and it was decided to refer it to the town solicitor. In the mean.- time ean-time the gates to the dump are to be kept closed, and the ew .;:,-of the pigs advised di the tre. An invitation to join tr Federa- tion of Mayors was filed. Fire ,chief J. F. Scott informed council• that the Fire :Marshal',s of- fice had called a regional school for the near future. Mr. Scott request- ed council to invite it to be held in Seaforth. The' only facilities in- volved would be to provide a vac- ant lot and ler?ture rooms. Coun- cil agreed to Mr. Scott's request. The new carbon dioxide fire extin- guisher has been delivered, and the siren is working satisfactorily,' said Councillor Crieh, e'hairman of the fire ane water committee. In his property report, Council- lor Christie inquired as to the feas- ibility of putting steel culverts in, the road leading to the town dump, as bridge timbers seemed so hard to obtain.. He also said that the town scales need overhauling and the building repaired. Councillor Daly stated that little snow -plowing and drain wont had been done during the past month; 1,000 bags of cement have been bought to begin the spring work With. Mr. Daly said that the snow plowing account was more than it should be.

Mr. Daly also reported that a road machinery company had avail- able small road maintainers at a cost of about $1,000 -$1,200, whiGlt included scarifier, cab and snowe plow. As the town had 'consider- able use for a grader, council thought it worthwhile to investi- gate the matter 'further. Reeve F. S.
