Pupils Honor Teacher At S.S.S. 1McKillop The pupils of S.S.S. No. 1, Mc- Killop. honored their teacher, Miss Joan Flanagan, on Monday, June 28, who has resigned to accept a position in Waterloo. Miss Cath- erine Ryan read an address and Miss Anne Maloney presented her with a large plate glass mirror. The following is the , address: Dear Miss Flanagan: We are here today with feelings of both glad- ness and sorrow. We are sorry you have decided to leave us, but we are glad that we were fortunate enough to have been your pupils during the past few years. No doubt there were times when we provok- ed you with our thoughtlessness, and we thope you will forgive us. As the years go by, we will re- member how well you taught us our religion and our ABC's, as well as teaching us both by word a,nd example to be ladies and gentle- men. We assure you that we will often think of and pray for you. We wish you every success in your new school, and ask you to accept this small gift as a token of the love and respect of your pupils of S.S.S. No. 1, McKillop. Miss Flanagan replied gracious- ly and thanked the pupils for their thoughtfulness. The pupils of S.S.S. No. 1, Mc- Killop, who were successful in passing their Entrance exams are: Beatrice Maloney, Ronald Ryan, Kenneth Maloney, Viola Givlin Anne Maloney, Cecilia Krauskopf and Marie Givlin. Old Photograph Recalls Football Greats of 1888 In going through some papers at his home here recently, Mr. Fred Beattie found a photograph of the Seaforth Collegiate football team of 1888: In the photograph were a number of well-known players, who established names for themselves in years past.

Southgate; grocery wheel, M. E. Clarke, Ralph McFadden, Ed. Smith and J. W. Crick;; special draw, Dr. E. A. McMaster and Car- man Rowcliffe. The blaze was discovered by Mrs. O'Connor, who was alone in the house with her three children, Pat, 3 years, Betty 2, and Rose Marie, four months. When flames prevented sending an alarm b'y telephone, she bundled the children out of the blazing house and ran a quarter of a mile to her neighbor, J. •F. Murphy. When she had given the alarm she fainted. Neighbors, quickly summoned by phone, formed a bucket brigade in an effort to confine the blaze to the rear of the home. Seaforth brigade arrived in.a few moments and took over the fight. When the water supply the tank truck carries was exhausted, additicuLa1 supplies were taken from a well and cistern. Spectators also aided in carrying water to the pumper. Called later, when it was thought the blaze might get out of hand, Mitchell fire brigade arrived as the fire was ex- tinguished. Damage by fire was confined to the rear por ion of the neat, trim, two -store“ ame house, but the en- tire building was badly damaged by smoke and w .' ter. The home tad been remodel ed and refinished re- cen y. hbo s succeeded in re- moving muc of the household, furnishings. Mr. O'Connor, who was in Seaforth when the blaze was discovered, arrived home shortly after. Cause of the blaze is not known. Mrs. O'Connor and the children are with her mother, Mrs. Joseph Doyle.

In addition to English headquar- ters, the organizations main- tain eleven offices on the Con- tinent. Prior to sailing, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart spent some time in Seaforth visiting his parents. A proposal for the installation of sewers in Seaforth was given a green light by the Ontario Munici- pal Board following a public shear- ing held in the Town Hall,on Mon- day afternoon. The proposal pro- vides for an expenditure of $95,000 for the installation of a treatment plant and a partial distribution sys- tem in the business section of the town. In giving its approval of the proposal, the Board indicated that a vote of the ratepayers would not be necessary. The Municipal Board who attend- ed at the meeting included R. C. Rowland, board chairman, and C. W. Yeates, a member. The purpose of the meeting was to obtain the opinions of those who in a petition had indicated there •were objections to the pro- posal as advanced by the Town Recent Surpnse Party Honors Miss Langtry Honoring Miss Margaret Langtry, Huron County Health Unit nurse, who is leaving Seaforth in mid - refuse to entertain any proposition July, Mrs. T.

Our wish for you is great success, along with health and happiness." Mrs. Nelson Cardno presented a lovely chest of silver with a setting of four inside it to Miss Langtry, who thanked everyone for such a beautiful gift. Preliminary work necessary before actual construction of the sewage system commences is proceeding, Mayor E. A. Mc- Master told The Expositor on • Thursday. Final passing of the enabling by-laws must await receipt of a formal order from the Municipal Board, and this, may be received in time for action to be taken at the regular meeting of Council Monday night. In the mean- time, contractors for the dis- posal plants and the distribu- tion system have been alerted. Council. At the same time, the Board invited objections from any ratepayer. The meeting, held on the second floor board room of the town building; attracted between 40 and 50 citizens, about one-quarter of whom were women. In an effort, he said, to clear up points which Were in doubt and about which he had been asked by ratepayers, Reeve Norman Scoins directed a series of questions to the Board, Hequestioned whether or not a simple majority of Council was sufficient to have given first and second readings to the sewage by-law. The Board indicated that a simple majority was all that was required in the case of an initial installation. Had the proposal been to add to an existing system. and without reference to the Board, then a larger majority would have been required, he was told. The Department of Health has approved the proposal. but the Board was not aware as to whe- ther or not a firm order had been made on the municipality to" pro- vide a sewage disposal plant, Mr. Scoins was told in answer to an- other question. Has the Board refused a proposal to provide for a total system? Reeve Scoins asked, and was told by the chairman that he knew- of no reason why the Board would mately will make use of existing, drains throughout the'town, as well: as newer lines, Mr. Reid expleallefii in answer to another .question It is in_ tended to 'handle both • storm and sanitary sewage, he said. lalhate the disposal plant will not reslil,t in completely pollution -free Wa- age, Mr. Reid assured the board it would be mueh -freer of'^ polutip>st than is the case at the moment. There is no such thing" as total freedom from pollution, he said'. Asking why the proposed plea had not been explained in detail to the public and as a result of which there was lack of condi- deuce onideuce on the part of the public in the work, Reeve Scoins was told that that was a responsibility for the municipal council. A sugges- tion that the sewer route might better have been along Main St_ to South Main St., rather than turn- ing urning at Crombie St., was advanced by Reeve Scoins. It was felt, he said, that a route of this nature would provide immediate service to a greater number of residents. At the same time, it would, he said, make available a. sewage ser- - vice to a greater number of exist- ing industries, and also would serve an area wherein future indus- tries might be located. Hensall Woman Splits lits p o at Bingo g Over 900 attended the monster cash bingo in Hensall- Monday night, with proceeds for artificial ice. Winners of the $1,000 special were Mrs. Richardson. of Wood- stock, and Miss Hannah Murray, of Hensall, Who each received $500. The $200 special was split three ways, Mfrs. D. J. Appleton, Grand Bend; A. Riley, Londesboro,. and Mrs. Albert Traquair, Exeter. The first $100 special was won by Mrs. Ernie Chipchase, Hensall, and the second $100 special by Mrs. Ernie Fisher, Goderich. There were also 12 regular games at $60 each, which were won by bingo fans from Stratford, Mitchell, Goderich, London, Dash- wood, Thedford, Exeter, Preston, Clinton, Centralia, Kippen, Sea - forth, Woodstock, Grand Bend, Clandeboye, Watford, Fort Wil- liam, Zurich, Lunen and Hensall. Winners from Hensall in the $50 games were Mrs. F. G. Bonthron, Mervyn Eyre and Jim Sangster. The bingo was -sponsored by the Legion and Auxiliary. Most Economical Route The Board, he was told, is inter- ested in servicing present residents and frowns on the construction of sewers in areas which would r suit- in the sewers' -lying idle, look- ing, ook ing tc the day when they might possibly attract industry. It was felt, the chairman continued, that if there was a basic installation of sewers, the problem of providing connections for industry which might locate in5the municipality at a later date, would be a relatively simple matter. Mr Reid told the board that the route which is pro- posed had been selected because, in his opinion, it was the most economical route and at the same time would avoid a disruption, in- sofar as is possible, of existing paved streets. He went on to in- dicate that eventually all parts of the municipality would be served: Reeve Scorns queried the enginr eer as to what the meaning of ev- . entually was. "When can it be an- ticipated/ nticipated that all parts of the town can be served?" he asked. The Board Chairman felt that the mat- ter was being approached in a reasonable fashion. He indicated that certainly some would not be attached in the initial stages, but any persons desiring service would. be at liberty to petition the Coun- cil and to ask for an extension. He was of the opinion that Council would pay attention to such peti- tions. Sewers, he said, are now a necessity, not a luxury. It is nec- eessary that a start be made some piace. Discussing the proposed location of the disposal plant which it was suggested was in a clay area, and in a most unsuitable area from the standpoint of construction and of disposal, Reeve Scoins was told by Mr. Reid that again, in his opinion, the location was not only the most economical. but the most logical. It is adjacent, .he said, to the only outletting stream, and the land is available here. Discuss Rate Structure The Board discussed with Reeve the chairman of the Board stated Scoins the manner in' which the that as a rule of thumb the Board rates are to be established.` It was considers that when the debenture agreed that there must be a vari- load of a municipality is approach- able and that it would not be pos- sible to cover the entire costs by means of a frontage tax or 'on a rental basis, because it was not known in advance the number of persons or properties to be served. Tt was felt, however, that the vari- kble, that is the amount which is to be a charge on the general rate, would not be great. Reeve Scoins pointed out that the feeling was that there were a great many more ratepayers who were not benefit- ting than there were those who were benefitting. and that this greater number should not be call- ed on to contribute through the general rate for the benefit of roughly. he said, 50 ratepayers. It was indicated to the Board by the engineer that the provision of a plant lo serve the entire munici- pality would cgpt between $450,000 and $500,000. The plant, which it is now proposed to erect, is large enough to accommodate the whole town, and the greater proportion of this additional charge would be in the provision of sewers and con- nections. He pointed out that the plant, as proposed, would not res• quire any additional work in order to serve roughly one-third of the citizens. However, when the load on the plant went beyond this fig- ure igure of one-third, it would be neces- sary to provide secondary treat- ment. reatment. In his opinion, the present plan will serve between 15 and 20i per cent of the residents. Complete service throughout the municipality would be possible within the next 15 years. 5 ing 25 per cent of the assessment of the municipality,. then, as he put it, "the flag is getting near the top of the pole." Referring to the Sea - forth picture, he indicated that an analysis of the debenture load here indicated that at the moment it was still considerably below 25 per cent of the assessment of $1,434,412.00. Reeve Scoins explained that he was attempting to establish whether or not the municipality was in the position to carry a greater deben- ture load and make possible the installation of an entire sewage system at one time. He felt, he said, that such a procedure would save considerable money, and it was for these reasons he was in- quiring whether or not there was a limit on the amount which. the town could borrow. The Board inprmed him that there was noXequirement to ob- tain approval\from the Township of Tuckersmith or from a property owner in that township who might be adjacent to Silver Creek, pro- viding that the Department of Health has approved of the plans for the installation. It was indi- rated that this approval hacl been received. Asking whether or not the estimate included an amount for the expropriation of properties and the deepening of Silver Creek, to provide an outlet, G. G. Reid, of Graham. Reld & Co„ the town's consulting engineers, stated that the cost of obtaining easements and the necessary lands were in- cluded in the estimate, but that no provision had been made for deep= ening of Silver Creek. He indicat- ed ndicated that if action of this nature was to be taken, it would not be a sewage matter, but would have to be proceeded wfth under the Drain- age Act.
