New Pianf For Concrete Firm Construction of a new plant to house the manufacturing activi- ties of Seaforth Concrete Products is commencing inrnrediatefy, Peter Christenson, manager of the firm, said this week. Mr. Christenson formed Seaforth Concrete Products about a year ago and said the new one -storey building would be of cement block construction, 1011 feet by 40 feet. It is being erected on land recently purchased from Joseph rummett, on No. 8 Highway, west of Seaforth. A feature of the new plant will he modern equipment for manu- facturingg cement blocks, bricks and flagstones, that will be in- stalled. One piece' 'of equipment, a new type vibrating machine, is being procured. in Europe, Mr. Christenson "said. During the past year the firm has operated in premises leased from Ontario Textiles Ltd. In- creasing business, however, has resulted in a demand for addi- tional accommodation and this, in turn, Ied to the decision to build. -Midguts Continue Wins; Down Milverton Squad itrSeaforth Midgets continued their winning streak when they defeat- ed Milverton 12-3 in Milverton ;Friday night. .

Prepare for 110th Anniversary; Agricultural Society His Annual Members of the Seaforth Agri- cultural Society, holding their an- nual meeting .in the Town Hall on Saturday afternoon, reviewed the extent to which a third day had contributed to the results of° the 1954 Fair. For the first time in the history of the 110 -year-old so- ciety, the fair was extended to three days. The society plans a special program this year to mark its anniversary. President Art Nicholson pointed out to the meeting that while there had been a deficit, the deficit which existed came about as a result of capitalimprovements and repairs .which, had been car- ried out. In reviewing the activi- ties of the year, Mr. Nicholson posed the question as to whether or not the society was paying out too much in pr►zeain certain de- enefits-which were resulting. He mentioned particularly the fact that horse classes had received more than $700 in prize money, and wondered whether the interest on the part of the public in horses was such as to justify an expendi- ture of this nature. In addition too, he said, the . third day had resulted in additional expenses for entertainment, Receipts $6,608 In his report, Secretary -Treas- urer Earl McSpadden told the meeting that total receipts amount- ed to $6,608:93. The receipts in- cluded grants of $2,991.25, mem- bership fees of $185, entry fees of $370.90, admissions of $1,248, and midways, concessions, etc., $560.95. Expenditures during the year totalled $7,918. This included prize money totalling $2,862.85, with $84L00 additional going to junior classes. Attractions cost $468, and the races $684. The cost of main- tenance and operation, including iiiiprovements to the grounds and interest of $80, amounted to $1,- 404.67. This left a deficit, Mr. Mc- Spadden said, of $1,321.56. In ad- dition, there is a liability of $800 covering a loan, which was made necessary for the construction of barns. The secretary indicated that assets amount to $7,900, in- cluding $6,400 for buildings and $1,500 for grounds. In 1954 there were 258 paid members, the sec- retary said, and 134 members are paid in advance for 1955. A breakdown of the number of entries in each of the classes, to- gether with the amount of prize money which was offered, and the amount which was actually paid, is ak follows: Entries Offered Paid Horses 90 $1,084.00 $679.00 Cattle 369 1,786.00 1,461.00 Sheep 95 280.00 163.50 Swine 67 199.00 155.00 Poultry 63 116.00 59.50 Grains,., Seeds7� 34x00, _ 00 i'€otis i%" et: 1 5 :7r'" r r' g Fruit, flower's 116 Dairy products 14 Food 235 Clothing . 183 Arts, crafts 6 Boys' & girls' exhibits .... 1,546 985.00 841.00 70.75 47.00 9.00 9.00 96.50 91.05 134.75- 89.75 11.25 5.05 2,936 $4,946.50 $3,703.85 Huron County Agricultural Re- presentative, Gerry Montgomery, discussed briefly the situation as he had seen it at Seaforth. He said that fairs generally had a tough year and that in the main, receipts were lower and that general at- tendance was lower. He attributed this to bad weather which prevail- ed during the fair season. Com- menting on the three-day fair with which Seaforth had experimented, it was his opinion that a two-day fair was preferable. Credits 4.11 Program He discussed the extent to which the 4-H program contributed to a good fair and expressed the opin- ion that it was preferable that fea- tures such as of 4-H exhibitions be encouraged, rather than classes which attracted professional en - Farm Forums Divideci on This Week's Topic - Marketing Board • PARR LINE FORUM The regular meeting of the Parr Line Forum was held at the home sof Mr. and Mrs. Howard Adkins with 24 members present. A discussion was held on the topic, "Produce Marketing." We believe that farmers can benefit through organization. It helps to stabilize the prices of these pro- ducts, also gives more bargaining power to the prodticer. This for - arm thinks most farmers will agree to the regulations which govern the marketing of livestock. Our Bean Board is working well. There were farmers who criticized the Iboard when it was first set up, but the majority of farmers are well satisfied with its operation. The consbieration of the Ontario Hog Producers plan to collect for a fund to be used for market- ing arketing hogs when there is a surplus was brought up. Most members felt that this scheme would have to be collected and or 'anized-- 'ominion-wide, and not -just here in Ontario. Winners of euchre were: ladies Mrs. John Soldan; gents, Carl Reichert. Lunch was served. The next tieeting, will be held M the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Wassink. S.B. NO. 2 FORUM The regular meeting of B.S. No, 2 Farm Forum was held this, week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. McMillan. The topic under discussion Was "Pro ucer Marketing."

Marketing boards have more bargaining power than indi- viduals, also a more equalized price over the province. Question 2: Will farm people agree to regulate themselves as to manner and place of marketing live stock, in order to gain the benefits of a producer marketing livestock board? We think when farmers become better acquaint- ed with the facts concerning the matter, they will more readily agree to regulations; however, we can always expect some discus- sion, as marketing boards will neg- er be perfect, for after all we ET just human beings. A social hour was spent in pro- gressive euchre. Winners were: ladies, most games, Mrs. Stewart Dolmage; Ione hands, Mrs. Eph- riam Clarke; consolation, Paulme Dolmage; gents; most games, Ar- thur Anderson; lone hands, Secord McBrien; consolation, Alvin Dodds. The meeting next week will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eph- riam Clarke. MULLETT FARM FORUM Fireside Farm Forum, Hullett Township, met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Taylor with 22 adults in attendance. Topic un- der discussion was "Producer Marketing." The first question was: "What benefit can farmers expect from an orderly marketing program for livestock wider producer controlled marketing boards?" Fireside Forum agreed that there should be' more stabiliz- ed inethods. This would gide the fartrgte,�s snore bargaining o'weir. e?s- and e..tio ' 'under dia. ,, 7# 'Cus tti� ., s. .. 11 a'rr . , 'eiiii qtr: •i� f ',;1100:04 � to manner and place of marketing livestock in order to gain the bene- fits of a producer marketing live- stock board?" The group was divided in answering this ques- tion. One group thought most farmers would co-operate with the farm marketing board. The sec- ond group thought most farmers would want their livestock ship- ped to the place paying the most, therefore `supply and demand'. Progressive euchre was played, with the following winners: high, Mrs. Vietta Hoggart, Geo. Car- ter; lone hands, Mrs. Dorothy Dalton, George Carter; low, Mrs. Robert Jamieson, Oliver Ander- son. A delicious lunch was ser - ed. Ms and Mrs. William Dolmage invited the group to their home for the next meeting. A selection of films have been obtained for the Film Night feature. CROMARTY FORUM Cromarty Farm Forum was held Monday night at the school. The 'subject for discussion was "Producer Marketing." It was felt that there should be more stable prices, also expected that there should be a sympathetic govern- ment. It was felt that if the bene- fits of such a marketing board were being felt directly by the farmers they would co-operate fully, but it is often hard to con- vince the farmer of the benefits he is receiving: We think the marketing schemes are in. their willing Mage. We think they will be better organized and more bene- fits. will be received. Euchre winners were: high. Mrs. Bert Riley; low Arleen 'Ho artli gents .high, John tigI�arth; low, e B :. ' Riley; lone hands, . Leslie ly. Next weak trants. The latter, he said, take a lot of money from the county and do not create the interest which results in larger attendance. He congratulated those who had co-operated with the 4-H Club pro- gram and for the extent to which they had made possible particular- ly successful exhibitions. Discussing the . clubs . which it was hoped would operate in 1955, he suggested as leaders for the 4-H Baby Beef Calf Club, Robert W. Campbell and Eric Anderson. For the Dairy Calf Club, William Boyd and Irwin Trewartha, and for the Poultry Club, J. M. Scott and R. V. Whitely. The Swine Club is to be sponsored by Sea - forth Junior Farmers. Mr. Montgomery indicated that the Perth -Huron Jersey Parish haw, as twell as.: the Ontario Here- ford Show, which had been feature attractions at the '54 Seaforth Fair would like to return to the '55 Fair. Ia his opinion, shows such as this created a great deal of interest and were well worth the money paid in prizes. It was hoped, he said, that different arrangements would be made for judging cattle, because,. of the delay which result- ed under, the arrangements that existed during the past year. ' Urges . Crop Competition Mr. Montgomery said that Hur- on County was tops insofar as field crops were concerned and the competition held last year was ex- cellent. He felt that it was par- ticularly important that there be a field crop competition and sug- gested competitions in corn and oats. He told the meeting that if it was desired to change from Beaver oats, there were alterna- tive kinds available, and mention- ed particularly Simcoe, which was early, had a satisfactory yield and was comparable to Beaver in all respects. Others which might prove helpful were Gary and Rod- ney, but the difficulty here was the seed was very difficult to obtain. Mr. Montgomery reviewed ar- rangements which had been made in previous years to avoid con- fliction of dates for fall fairs, and told that this had been achieved as a result of a meeting which he had called. However, he felt that this year it would be possible to dispense with such a meeting. The date which Was suggested for the Seaforth Fair was Thursday and Friday, September 22 and 23, but that if it was decided to have a three-day fair, then it would be necessary to delay the fair one week. He urged the society to en- sure that there was adequate re- presentation at district meetings and at the provincial convention held in Toronto. Review Prize Lists Discussing ways and means of improving the fair, the speaker said that the first step of course, would be to attempt to balance the budget and he felt that this could best be achieved by review- ing various classes to determine the amount of prize money which was being offered, and whether the prize money was in keeping with the results which were being ob- tained. He suggested that the prize money paid in horse classes was out of proportion' with that paid to cattle, particularly when it was considered the number of horses in use in the county. He stressed again the extent to which an active 4-11 program could as- sist the fair in increasing both at- tendance and interest. He said that Bayfield was an example of this, and that in 1951 there had been but six cattle entries, and that this had been increased in three years to 187 through the boys' and girls' program. Not on- ly was the attendance up at the fair, but the prize money had been raised substantially, and what was more particular, the prize money stayed in the dis- trict. Because o lc which s f the diff; ulties Most fairs had experienced in 1954 Mr, Montgomery anticipated that there would -he a slight erense in pi<a kleial grants. He urged the'. .� C on tri ted toil; ,Plige 4) JANUARY 28, 1955 (.OidBoys' Reunion Propo :ommittee Report Is Favo ns, Friends ()nor Burns At annual Dinner �.• Discussions which may Lead to a decision to hold an Old Boys' Re- union in Seaforth in 1955 advanced a step further Tuesday night, when a meeting of citizens and re- presentatives of Seaforth organ- izations endorsed the proposal pro- viding proper financing could be arranged and personnel obtained to carry out necessary organiza- tion.

Scott, as he "cussed the Scottish poet and his w `rks on the occasion of the Lions b annual Burns' banquet in t Community Centre Monday evening. !Burns was the poet of the com- u on man. For the first time a writer spelled out what the com- on man could become and what h stood for. The common man a " seen by Burns was one of hon- e y, of simple tastes, of inde- p'ndence and of dignity. He lov- e his family and his home, and courage and patriotism was t superficial, but was rooted ep in the soil of his native land. ecalling the moves that led to t e settlement of Huron, the speak- er said that John Galt, in bring- irg settlers to this district, trans- lated Burns' desire for an improv- ed living for his Scottish friends into reality. The results of their pioneering remain in this com- fiirtable, prosperous area. Warn - against complacency ,in the n�iadst of many blessings, Prof. Scott concluded: "I wonder where Burns would put us today." About 170 members of the club and guests enjoyed the dinner and ptogram. The haggis, carried by �Eva Lillico, was piped in by Peter 1colm, and D. L. Reid deliv- e ;"Ode to the Ha ggi s."

Scott. Mr. Scott said the right-of-way for the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway was acquired in, 1.03; ':tonstruc-. tion of the railway commenced then, and the line reached Gode- rich in 1857. There is not much doubt work was under way in the Seaforth area in 1855, he said. In addition, first .transfers of land in what is now Seaforth, took place in 1854, and the first plan was surveyed in 1855 and register- ed in 1856.
