• It was deputation night as
Seaforth Council held its final
pieeting for 1954 on Monday
eVening. AU members were
present and Mayor E. A. Mc-
Master presided.
A request from the Seaforth
Athletic Association, which was
Presented by Leo Stephenson,
asked for financial assistance to
Permit hockey to be carried on
in town.
The Association was $1,200
behind at the moment, Mr.
Stephenson said, as a result of
the operation of junior hock-
ey team. In past years the as-
sociation had been carrying
minor hockey, but in view of
the financial situation this
would not be possible this year
unless assistance was received.
A canvass for membership and
donations had brought in $810,
he said, and it was the hope of
the association that Council
would match the amount col-
lected, dollar for dollar.
The December meeting of the
Hospital Auxiliary was held on
Tuesday evening at the nurses'
residence. Mrs. A. W. Sillery,
the past president, conducted
the meeting in the absence of
Mrs. H. E. Smith. The meeting
was in the . form of a Christmas
party with gifts being exebang-
ed and carol singing. A fea-
ture of the evening were piano
selections by Dora Anne Stin-
son.
An inspection of the newly
modernized kitchen was con-
ducted by Miss Drope. A tames
week' was wider discussion,
with final arrangements to be
completed at a later date.

Aid is Necessary
Mr. Stephenson predicted
that if assistance was not forth-
coming, junior hockey would
fold up. He felt this would be
unfortunate for the town, since
hockey had carried the arena
to a great extent.
Councillor Crich said he was
anxious to see hockey continued
in town. The thing that was
bothering him was that if coun-
cil gave a grant to the associa-
tion, what was there to stop ev-
ery other sporting organization
that was in financial difficulty
asking for similar assistance.
Councillor Scott was of the perhaps you should have been

In answer to a question from
Councillor Christie, Mr. Steph-
enson said the association spon-
sored minor hockey, as well as
the ball team in the summer
The prime cost in the operation
of the minor hockey teams was
a guarantee of $35 per game to
the arena, he said.
Mayor McMaster said he un-
derstood Goderich Town had
given $5,000 to hockey, but it
was explained that had been
an' arena operating deficit.
Woodstock council, however, it
was stated, had granted $600 to
carry its senior team to Janu-
ary 1 next.- Mr. Stephenson
said the problem was not pecu-
liar to Seaforth, and that at-
tendance at hockey was down
all over. At Scaforth, it was
estimated 700 admissions were
necessary to break even, while
the average attendance had been
about 400. Mr. Stephenson re-
tired and council considered the
matter later in the meeting.

it up.
It was explained in answer to
a query from Reeve Scoin.s,. that
revenue from the Curling Club
would be $500, the same as in
previous years.
Pointing out that the Athletic
Association sponsored the Mid-
gets and other minor sports,
Councillor ChriStie asked if it
wouldn't be better to give $300
now than perhaps have to pay
$1,000 or more as an arena de-
ficit if hockey folded up.
Councillor Sharp wondered in
the event a grant was made,
would it be repaid in the event
there was a profit at the end of
the season.
Agreeing, Councillor Christie
had a good argument. Reeve
Scoins felt there would be no
further response to a canvass if
a grant was made. He suggested
the same benefits would result
if it could be arranged to cover
arena charges for juvenile
games, Councillor Crich agreed
such a plan would solve the
problem, but Clerk Wilson indi-
cated it wasn't possible to pro-
ceed in that fashion.
Councillor Christie recalled
the beginning of the Athletic
Association some 20 years ago,
and that it had been designed to
promote sport, but at the same

SEAFORTH EXPENDITURES LOWER

The B.C. Construction Com-
pany is required to pay for all
gravel, trucking and grading in
connectin with the sewer con-
tract, Council decided as it re-
fused payment on accounts be-
cause they had not been agreed
to by the company.
Presentation of the report of
the finance committee precipi-
tated a sharp discussion as to
why previous payments had
been made to the company with-
out the knowledge of Council-
lor Christie, chairman of the
finance oommittee.
Mayor McMaster said he had
approved the payments on the
order of the consulting engin-
eers. Councillor Leslie, chair-
man of the sewage committee,
was absent, he said, and he had
acted for him.
The finance committee wasn't
notified and it should have been
told, Councillor Christie affirm-
ed, and Mayor McMaster agreed
Councillor close recalled he
had contributed to the canvass.
He would prefbr to pay aonther
$10 himself, rather than give a
grant. You can't give to every-
body that comes along; he said.
Mayor McMaster said he. tod,
would rather give another 510.
"If you give a grant, those
who contributed are paying
twice. I don't like spending the
people's money without them
having a say in it," Councillor
Close said.
"I was going to suggest we
make it up to $1,200," interject-
ed Councillor Scott.
Councillor Close recalled the
arena history and said the pub-
lic had voted for the arena. If
there was a loss, it would have
to be paid. There were crowds
at games last year, but when
they make something they split

Seaforth expenditures a r e

indicated by a return presented
by Treasurer D. H. Wilson
While amounts are approximate

geted would be substantially re-

Seaforth Council at its naeetr,
ing Monday night took steps to',
improve firefighting facilities
the area at the Seaforth Distr.igt
High School after the schnol-,,,
board had requested action. Te':
matter was also raised by Fir.O
Chief John F. Scott, when he
reported to council on the fire 4,
hazard situation in town.
Council instructed the fire and
water committee to purchase
200 feet more hose and recom-
mended to the incoming council
that a similar amount be pur-,
chased early in 1955. •
This action was taken in pre-
ference to the installation of a
hydrant adjacent to the school.
Chief Scott agreed that with 400
feet more hose, protection could
be given from existing hydrants
in the area. The cost of main
extension necessary to install a
hydrant was estimated at $3,000.
Hose costs about $2 per foot,

the fire and water committee
