By windang up their 1953-54
hockey schedule, the Seaforth
Baldwins have written one of the
brightest sport pages in Seafortih's
sports history during the last 10
years. 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

Lions Learn Canada
Has Vast Oil Potential
"The mining industry in Canada.
and its possibilities for expansion"
was the subject of Harry Ball's ad-
dress to the Seaforth Lions Club
Monday evening.
Mr. Ball, of Clinton, and a part-
ner of the firm of Ball -Macaulay,
is a mining engineer and has spent
a number of years in Northern On-
tario with Wright -Hargreaves Ltd.
In his remarks, he touched on the
expansion programs' of several
well known mining cbmpanies in
each of the provinces, the Yukon
and Northwest. Territories. 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.
The speaker was introduced by
.his brother, William Ball, and
thanked by Dr. W. J, McCabe.
F, J. Snow, chairman of the Hur-
on County T.B. 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. McMaster suggested to
the club that another crippled chit- +
dren's clinic should be held again
this year.
Chairmen of the meeting were
Elmer Larone and Dr. W. J. Mc-
Cabe.
The proposal to provide a par-
tial
artial sewage system in Seaforth ad-
vanced a step further Monday
night when Council gave second
reading to an enablingby-law to
provide funds in the sum of
$95.000. Third and, final, passing
is held in abeyance pending Muni-
cipal Board approval. .
It was suggested that a petition
had been circulated in town pro-
testing the proposed work, and,
that this had been filed with the
Municipal Board. The Board, it is
understood, Will review the entire
matter and may find it desirable to
hold a hearing in. Seat -nth.
Councillors reported'•`up to the
present <he cost for snow clean-
ing has been a low $180, which has,
actually been saved from previous
savings. During the last month,
eight rotten trees have been cut
down, and at present work is be-
ing done on the painting of the in-
terior of the Town Hall. Council-
lor Crich discussed. the new fire
siren. 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.

cheese and maple syrup.
Question 2: "You often hear peo-
ple say: Grades' should be carried

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

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

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,

forth from an industrial stand.,
point. 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,
