Although last year's Junior 'B' club was high above average, it was Oar behind the record' of the present high -flying Baldwins. Pos- sibly the only team to compare with it as far as Seaforth is concerned during the last decade, is the Sea- fortfi. Golden Bears of two seasons ago, vnho took the. Ontario 'W.O.S. S.A. football championship. In their 24 games in their sche- dule, the group leaders have, cap- tured 22 Victories, while only go- ing down under the red line twice. Sarnia was the first team to set Seaforth hack, which was last No- vember, and the only other success- ful team was the Wingham Town Hailers. During the 12 isome games of tthe schedule, there has 'been an aver- age verage of 900 fans at •each game to see Seaforth win all battles on home ice. The high -scoring club has fired 213 goals past their op- position, While giving up less than half, wibh 101 going into the Bald- win cage. This gives the goal- tending the average of 4.2 goals a game with the best goal tending in the five -team grouping. Julius 'Cheeta' Chouinard, Ken Stenlund and Ron Muir were the top scoring trio of the league. Chouinard .and Stenlund finished one, two in the scoring race, while teanmenates Ron Muir and Tommy Salter were close on their heals.

He predicted that Iby 1961 Canada would lead the world in theepro- duction of several ores. Replying to a question regarding the possi- bility of finding oil in this district, Mr. Bali said that it should, not be discounted, as this area has simi- lar properties to those in which oil is being found.

Association, report- ed that total receipts from the sale of -Christmas Seals were $9,522.93. an increase of $395 at this same time last year. - Dr. E. A.

Further consideration is be- ing given the matter by 'his com- mittee, be said. • Ask .Forif Un orms The Seaforth Athletic Society suggested to Council the advisa- bility of purchasing six blue uni- forms for the local fire department. It was suggested. that the town buy four of the uniforms and the fire department purchase the remain- ing two. The purpose behind the proposal is to make it possible for firemen to attend all large gather- ings in the town and act as deputy fire marshals. 'It was felt that Sea - forth was in need of such safety precautions and that the situation should be remedied. As an . ex- ample, the Illustration of the Code munity Centre was used, especially with play-off hockey time coming up. If the plan is adopted, the six men on duty, it was suggesTed, will be adsnitted to the public func- tion free and will receive a salary of $2 per night. The present condition of indus- try around the town was inquired of by Councillor Crich. "Not bad," said the Mayor, but he recommend ed, Council should acquire good in- drstrial sites around the town where possible. At present, he said, booklets are being prepared, discussing the advantages of Sea - District Forums Discuss Grading of Farm Products PARR LINE FORUM The Parr Line Forum met Mon- day at the home of Mr. arid Mrs. John Soldan. In discussing the top- ic. "What Grade. Madam?" the group reached the following con- clusions: (1) We feel that all beef and pork sold out of butcher shops should, be stamped with the„ grade it represents. We also feel that all vegetables. including' potatoes, car- rots, beets, turnips, etc., sold out of stores, should come under a Dominion -wide compulsory grading la w. • (2) We, feel that all beef cattle sought from the farmer. should be paid for on a. dressed basis, and a marketing scheme set up sonre- wila.t similar to the one handling hogs. These cattle would be grad- ed at the. packing 'plant and paid, for according to grade, and' the grade carried right through to the consumer. We think that all leafy vegetaIbi. s,•`aiso carrots, beets; tur- -nips, etc.,_ should be bought under grade from the grower. There are far too many inferior quality vege- tables stored • in the; e storage plants, and when they are ready for packaging, tons of 'first quality vegetables are contaminated and are spoiled for proper grading. The next meeting will be at tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Weido. FOUR SQUARE FORUM Four Square Farm Forum, Mc- Killop, met Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Keys with a good attendance. After the radio broadcast, groups were form- ed to discuss' the following ques- tions: "Are there any products In your area that are not sold to the con- sumers by grade and which you think should be?" The group thought meat should be graded. "You often hear people Say: Grade should be carried through from producer to consumer. In re- gard to the products of your own area, would it be possible to do this? What problems would be in- volved?" Yes, we think it would be possible, butit would cost con- siderable money to do the grading and this would' make the products more expensive to buy. Progressive euchre was enjoyed with Mrs. Archie Lamont and Gor- dan Popple as winners. Lunch was served, after which- all enjoyed a sing -song. The next meeting will be held at Gordon,MacKenzie's. S.S, \NO. 2, McKILLOP, FORUM SS. No. 2, McKillop Farm. Fonrm t at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McClure on Monday evening ii � i s iot� Pordds cus- sOt Were: No. 1: "Are 'there any redlitd'te in your area that are not sd e° the etrealitter by grade and L�gin 1�rJa°l,.n,,tn.�ca.� which you thinit should be?" One group says only beef is not sold on grade, while the second group re- ported beef and pork, and the third group mentions fowl, pork, beef, cheese and maple syrup. Question 2: "You often hear peo- ple say: Grades' should be carried through from producer to consum- er. In regard tQ the products of your area. would it be possible to do this? What problems would be involved? Agairl, we say-, grow and produce a first quality product, and on livestock put a stamp :of grade on each carcass. Apart from the discussions noted in this re. port, it is the personal opinion of the writer that records at feeding stations for 'hogs show that Grade 'A' hogs can be grown on slightly less feed, why not produce hogs of this type and give the consumer bacon of a much more uniform good quality than at present prevails? Following, discussion, progressive euchre was played and lunch and tea. served—yes, that. friendly cup of tea really puts the finishing touch to anevening well spent. Wieners en euchre were: ladies, Mrs.- S. McBrien, Mrs. S. Dol'rn•age and Mrs. R. McMillan; men. Alvin Dodds, T. McMillan and S. elc- Brien. The next meeting will he at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ell- wood Clark. FIRESIDE FARM FORUM Fireside Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Buch- anan. Monday evening. Topic un- der discussion was, "What Grader Madam?" Questions and answers on this topic were as: follows: "Are there any products in your area that are not sold to the consumers by grade, and which you think should he?" Beef le graded in large cit- ies, but not in our area. The cus- tomer has never seen either the red or bblue stamp on beef which they buy. Consumer could see more -what he is getting in the bacon line if red -striped paper was replaced with a clear wrapper. Bacon should be graded, and that grade carried through to the consumer. It would be beat, in some cases, to grade carcasses, a.s they do not always grade the same as the live animal. These carcasses should be inspected. A social evening followed the discussion, with euchre being en- joyed. Winners were: ladies, high, Mrs. Dorothy Dalton; lone hands, Mrs. Dorothy Dalton; consolation, Mrs. Bert Hoggart; men, most games, Mrs. M.• Babcock; lone hands, GeorgeCarter conso laiioi , Otivet- Anderson.

Councillor Crich felt that wherever possible, booklets should be distributed if there i5 the slight- est possibility of an industry tak- ing aking an active interest in Seaforth., Mayor McMaster indicated, he felt the best policy that could be adopt- ed would be to establish.. an Indus- trial ndustrial committee for the whole county. " Consider Forum Resolution ,Council considered the wrecking of the ,100 -year-old• Court House, the matter having been referred to it by Hulled Boundary Farm For- um. Councillor Sharp maintained that the plans for the construction for the new court house would not leave enough room for parking, and' that the present old court house would provide additional 'museum accommodation. Not only would it be completely occupied as a mus- eum, but also could be used as a tourist information 'bureau. Coun- cillor Crich suggested the building should be retained, if possible, since 'we are losing too many of our historical sites." He thought that possibly a spot fol t'he new court house could be found close to the centre of the town, and that the old building could be left stand- ing. Reeve Scoins told how the county had asked Professor James Scott, of Seaforth, to write a book on the county, and when the book is published the Museum would make an excellent spot for dis- tribution. It was decided to dis- cuss the matter further when full information was available. Before the next meeting the as- sessment of Mrs. Katherine Ken- nedy's property is to be adjusted, and also Council will grant $25 to the Huron Seed Fair to be held in Clinton in March. Need $500 To Meet TB Seal Objective A total of $9522:93 has been re- ceived by the Huron County; T.B. Association, according to Mrs. 1. B. Russell, association secretary. This is an increase of approximate- ly $400 over the total for last year, but is- still less than the 1953 ob- jective of $10;000. It is pointed out that contribu- tions to the 1953 fund may still be made and can be considered as a charitable donation with respect to 1953 income, Mrs. Russell said. In the campaignthe association received donations from approxi- mately one-third of thqse 12.500 Huron County citizens to whom Letters were sent. The need for continued assist-- ance4s indicated by the fact that while the .13, death -rate is at' its lowest, there are as many or more new cases being reported. It is only 'possible to maintain a low death -rate by providing necessary treatment -to each new case as it is reported. Assistance given the battle against T.B. permits a con- tinuei campaign of 'education and treatment, Mrs: Russell said, Seaforth Institute Holds Euchre, Dance Here Seaforth Women's Institute spon- sored a euchre and dance in the Seaforth Community Centre last Friday evening, which drew a ca- pacity. attendance. There were 35 tables in play. Mrs. Alex Pep -per was in charge of the event and warded prizes to the following: ladies, most. games, Mr Campbell;s Mrs. R. W. lone land.., Mrs. R. W.
