F. Christie, and Scott Ifabkirk to obtain details as to the manner in which neighbr- ing towns had proceeded and to report to a meeting within a week •or ten days. The occasion would also mark the 100th anniversary of the beginning of activity at the site of what in 1867 became the village of Seaforth. According to Councillor Christie, representatives of in- terested groups, including the Chamber of Commerce and Lions Club, would be asked to attend the meeting with the council. In the meantime the commit- tee is checking with Mitchell, Clinton, Goderich and Wingham where reunions have been held in recent years. The question was rtaised at the Monday meeting of council by Mayor McMaster, when he recalled that the 1954 council, at its November meeting, had considered a resolution from the Lion t• Club asking council t take steps to organize an ld Boys for 1955. At that tune council endorsed the pro- pbsal and recommended it to the 1955 council for action.. In discussing the matter, council agreed that general co- operation of all elements in the community would be necessary to put jach a program over. Reeve Scoins felt particularly was it necessary that it have the backing of the merchants. This year, too, there would be no fireman's convention which had added so greatly to the 1914/and 1924 Old Boys, he said. - Councillor Close wondered if there was time, and Councillor Kellar suggested it might be better to wait until streets were fixed, sidewalks repaired and street signs erected. He was as- sured by Councillor Leslie this work could be completed in lots of time. Answering a query as to the extent- to which the Lions Club would co-operate, Councillor Leslie said, he could assure council the Lions Club would work in any way that would help. He said he had talked to a number of business men and felt there would be no difficul- ty izl obtaining backing. Coun- cillor Habkirk agreed, as did Reeve Scoins, providing back- ing was obtained.

TUCKERSMITH COUNCIL ORGANIZES; APPOINTS TWP. REPRESENTATIVES Tuckersmith Municipal Coun- cil met in the Town Hall, Sea - forth, on Monday, for the in- augural meeting, and subscribed to the oath of office before Clerk E. P. Chesney. The coun- cil consists of Reeve Jas. Doig, and Councillors I. Forsyth, B. Garrett, F. Falconer and V. Lee. Rev, W. E. Milroy, of Eg- niondville United Church, at- tended the meeting and invoked Divine. guidance upon the de- liberations of the council fo the ensuing year. Adrian Timmermans at - ed the meeting and agai om- plained that the McCu drain was not sufficient t ugh his property, and council promised to investigate the matter. Council joined- the Associa- tion of Rural Municipalitie, Ontario Good Roads Associa- tion and the Association of As- sessing Officers, and ordered fee of $10 each paid. The clerk was instructed to subscribe to eight copies of the Municipal Worl for use of council and of- ficials. A grant of $10 was made to the Huron County Soil & Corp improvement Association.

Council adjourned to meet on February 1, at 2:00 p.m. Communications Must Be Sigped The publishers, during recent weeks, have received a number of communications for publica- tion, some of which have been on subjects of general interest. Unfortunately it has not been poSsible to use them, because they were not signed. Commun- ications intended for publica- tiOn must be signed, not neces- warily for publication but as an indication of good faith. Discussion followed appear- ance before council of a dele- gation of J. E. Keating, of the arena commission, and J. A. Murray, secretary of the S.A. A.A. Mr. Keating told council the extent to which the arena must depend on hockey activi- ties for its revenue, and that difficulty could result if hockey was curtailed. Mr. Murray said a recent canvass by the associa- tion had produced $769. At the moment about $800 was still owing. Mr. Keating pointed out he was speaking, not on behalf of the S.A.A.A., but only as a member of the arena commis- sion. He told of assistance the arena was granting, such as free practise time and ice for minor hockey. While revenue is less this year, expenses too have been reduced. He expected a full report of the arena would be available before' the next meeting. Grant Con'1tna1 Decision to make Ie grant conditional resulted from ques- ies by councillors as to what use was mayie of money by the S.A.A.A. V t• over after suc- cessful seasons. Referring to a Chamber of Commerce proposal to erect signs at entrances to the town, Clerk Wilson said the Depart- ment of Highways had asked no action be taken until the sit- ing had been discussed. Reporting for the fire and wa- ter committee, Reeve Scoins said additional hose ordered by council, had been received. He told of difficulties being experi- enced with the rural truck. It was supposed to have bean re- paired, but firemen found re- cently this was not the case. Streets Are Sanded Councillor Close, chairman of the street committee, told coun- cil a number of trees had been trimmed and streets had been sanded, 45 yards of sand and salt being required. He said John Cummings, in charge of the weigh -scales, was ill and suggested R. H. Sproat could look after the scales for the time being. He told council that repairs to the grader had not been completed properly. Council confirmed assessment of the residence of M. Arm- strong in its original amount of $1,175 on recommendation of W. E. Southgate, town assessor. Council gave final readings to by-laws providing for bank borrowings and prepayment of taxes. Borrowing limit of .$70,- 000 is rarely reached, Clerk Wilson explained. Interest is at 41/2 per cent on actual amount borrowed. Representatives Named J. E. Keating and James A. Stewart were reappointed as the town's representatives to the Community Centre Board for a one-year term. Mayor Mc- Master and Councillor B. F. Christie were reappointed from council to the same board. The Mayor and Councillor H. H. Leslie were named representa- tives to the Huron County In- dustrial Promotin Bard. Other officers and representa- tives are: D. H. Wilson, town clerk and relief officer, $1,800 (an increase of $300), and tax collector, $1,000; W. E. South- gate, assessor, $700; John F.

Based on a recommendation from the Mayor, council cancel- led approval it had given for membership in the Canadian Federation of Mayors. Willa he found the associatin het many ways, the contralto this (Continued on Page 5) MOVED TO VICTORIA ST.? A proposal for the rearrange- ,- ment of accommodation in the", Town Hall as between the town ,-' and the Public Utility Corarn.W sion was advanced by Mayor A. McMaster in his inaugural address to Seaforth Council Monday morning. Removal of the police office from the Town Hall to the former sub -station building, owned by the Public .4 Utility Commission, on Victor- ia St., would release accommo- dation to permit the Public Utility Commission to unify its operations. At the same time, the Mayor said, this would make available additional space in the area used by the town clerk and the Commission sec- retary, which was needed for town purposes. Under the pro- posal, a separate entrance would be provided to the Public Util- ity area from the laneway ex- tending between the Town Hall and the Regent Theatre. In ad- dition, Mayor McMaster propos- ed that proper garage accommo- dation for town vehicles be er- ected at the rear of the Town r Hall, replacing several sheds presently there. Much of this work, he felt, could be done by town employees. Addresses Council As council commenced its de- liberations, Father E. P. Weber, of St. James' Church, was ask- ed to address the council• and to invoke Divine blessing on its deliberations. Father Weber pointed out that an occasion of this kind provided an opportunity to look backwards and to gain from the failures and mistakes of past' days the means of an improved future. He pointed out that all classes of peoples were divided into two parts, the governors and the governed, but that each was subject to the Divine God ' in expressions of justice and charity to all. He warned the council vile the governors possessed certain powers, in the final analysis there was no power but that which was given from above. This must be remembered, he said, in exercising authority. The governed and the governors must work together as scissors. One alone can accomplish noth- ing, but together and working in co-operation and in harmony, much can be accomplished. • Need Not Fear Criticism Mayor McMaster welcomed members of the council to the inaugural meeting and congrat- ulated them on their election. He felt the fact that so many had been returned by acclama- tion spoke well for the work which each had done in the past. He warned the two new mem- bers of council, Councillors Hab- kirk and Kellar, that they could expect criticism, but that they would get toughened and would find that they could throw it off as did present other mem- bers of council. Criticism, the Mayor said, was not something to be feared or to be concerned about, but was only an indica- tion that something was being accomplished. He commented on the absence of Councillor James T. Scott. and expressed, on behalf of the council, the hope that Councillor Scott, who is presently a patient in Scott Memorial Hospital, would be. completely recovered and able ' to resume his place in the coun- cil. Reviewing the situation as it existed in town, Mayor McMap ter said that in his opinion the town was in fairly good shape, but that despite this, much had to be done, and that it was nec- essary that maintenance be done each year, because if mainten- ance was allowed to lapse the town would soon deteriorate. Among the matters which would require attention, he said, were repairs to the west side of Main Street sidewalk and also it would be necessary that some repairs be carried out to the pavement on Main Street. He proposed that County Engineer Peter Patterson be asked to at- tend a meeting with council to discuss the completion of the paving of Main Street. He said that the engineer had promised to investigate the matter on several occasions, but nothing had been done. The Mayor told council that he hoped there would be harm- ony during deliberations in the year, but that he wanted a full discussion of every subject. Seaforth Has Most Road Reeve Scoins referred ,to the situation ‘that exOi the Main Street and said tht the county engineer hadare t� make available:00a Ica nOld 's patch, but picked agree t1i afro Otitee resnerniiht0 " le
