happened if the individual had
come back later to get it. Mayor
McMaster agreed that a receipt
should go forward, and council
left the matter with the police
committee to investigate.
A query from Mrs. Sarah Swan
as to the steps she should take to
recover taxes she had paid on a
lot which had been improperly as-
sessed to her was referred to the
finance committee for checking.
It was indicated that in 1952 Mrs.
Swan had sold the lot to Lawrence
Dillon, but that this lot had con-
tinued to be assessed in her name
and. she had not discovered the
error until this year. Clerk Wilson
pointed out that ratepayers have
14 days in which to appeal after
they have been served with an
assessment notice. He would hesi-
tate, he said, to give an opinion as
to whether or not recovery action
could be justified, and felt that the
statutes would have to be checked
and legal advice obtained to see
whether remedial action could be
taken.
No Grant To Seed Show

of Wilbert N. Cornish for a hawk-
ers' and pedlars' license.

Clinton] in March Of thl'S year, re-
ceived a stormy reception. "Why
don't they hold that in Seaforth

asked, and Councillor Christie
wondered where there was any
benefit resulting to the Town of
Seaforth. The Mayor replied that
there is none at all.
75th year.
Bora and educated in Seaforth,
Mr. Wilson served for a number
of years at various branches of
the Dominion Bank across Can-
ada. For the greater part of his
life he was associated with the
Royal Whiter Fair, Toronto. With
the fair during the years it was
being established, Mr. Wilson con-
tributed much to the world-wide
eminence which it enjoys today.
For several years he has been liv-
ing retired in Toronto.
While he had not been in the
best of health, his passing came as
a surprise. A frequent visitor in
Seaforth, he had been here for
several days a little over a month
ago. His wife predeceased him
several years ago, but he is sur-
vived by three sons, Douglas and
Louis, of Toronto, and Robert, of
Bessemer, Alabama. He is also
survived by two sisters, Mrs. Geo.
Anderson and Mrs. Arthur Samp-
son, of Seaforth. Town Clerk D. H.
Wilson, of Seaforth, is a nephew.
Funeral services were held in
the Trull Funeral Chapel, Toron-
to, Tuesday evening. Interment
followed at Maitlandbank ceme-
tery, Seaforth, Wednesday after-
noon, when graveside services
were conducted by Rev. D. Glenn
Campbell, of First Presbyterian
Church.
MISS THERESA HEFFERNAN
Miss Theresa Heffernan, in her
80th year, died at St. Joseph's
Hospital, London, on Thursday,
February 10, a week after she had
,entered the hospital. Miss Hef-
fernan was poorly for the past
five months, but was able to be
up and around every day and took
a keen interest in the activities
and news of the day.
She was the daughter of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Heffernan
and was born on the old homestead
two and a half miles east of Sea -
forth on the Huron Road in Tuck-
ersmith Township. Miss Heffern-
an lived for about 15 years with
Mr. L. Barry, an uncle, who farm-
ed near Centralia, before coming
to stay with her brother, Mr.
Joseph Heffernan, Seaforth, who
is the sole surviving member of
a family of eight, three girls and
five boys. She had been in Sea -
forth with her brother for the past
ten ycarg.
Active in church work, she was
a devout member of St. James'
'Church, Promoter for the League
of the Sacred Heart. member of
the C.W.L., and also of the Altar
Society. She was of a happy dis-
,position and loved children and
was always ready to give a help-
ing hand to those in need.

Councillor Close suggested that
it was time to cut out some of
the grants which had been made.
Perhaps then they would bring it
to Seaforth, he said. Council took
no action on the request,
ed members of council to see the
plan as it was at the moment in
his office at Goderich, and said
that if a complete 'plan was requir-
ed the cost would be $450. Coun-
cil agreed to look at the plan, and
before taking any positive action
will investigate the matter further.
Council finally agreed to join.
theAssociation of Mayors and
Reeves after a decision had been
taken that the association would
be of little advantage. Reeve
Seoins felt that there was a re-
quirement that municipalities stick
together in order to get thingsas
done, and said that this wpar-
ticularly true insofar as small
municipalities were concerned.
Councillor Kellar said that he had
experience with telephone associa-
tions and felt that little good could
result. On the other hand, Coun-
cillor Leslie said that annual meet-
ings of this nature were helpful
in that they provided an opportun-
ity to make contact with persons
who had a greater knowledge of
the' problems that were facing
municipalities.
Councillor Close doubted that
there would be any advantage re-
sulting from the meeting. He
pointed out that it bad held meet-
ings last year. and insofar as the
council was concerned, nothing
had come from them. It looked
like a waste of money to him, he
said,- - •

Councillor Kellar asked, "Why not
join it?" and wort on to say that
council saved $15 a few minutes
before when it turned down the
request for a grant to the Huron
County Seed Show, and "we may
as well throw ten of it now."
Mayor McMaster asked council
whether it desired to take action
in connection with converting the
former substation on Victoria St.
to serve as a police office, as had
been discussed at the inaugural
meeting in January. He suggested
that work could proceed immedi-
ately, and much of it done during
the winter months.
In answer to a query, Clerk Wil-
son told council that the building
was the property of the Public
Utility Commission Electrical De-
partment and, in his opinion, be-
fore it could be sold or disposed of,
approval of the H.E.P.C. would be
a requirement.
Reeve Scoins, chairman of the
property committee, said that the
matter had never been brought be-
fore the property committee, and
it was his opinion that if the P.U.
C. wants any changes in accom-
modation in either the Town Hall
or at the substation, it should be
brought to the property commit-
tee. There was no need for the
committee to go to the Commis-
sion. Mayor McMaster replied
that the matter had been discuss-
ed by the town council and that it
A request from the Salvation
Army for the usual grant of $40
to assist with its Home in London,
was approved. Council took note
of the communication from James
A. Murray, secretary of the Sea -
forth Amateur Athletic Associa-
tion ,in which the appreciation of
the association was expressed for
a recent grant.
A communication from the Sea -
forth and District Old Boys' Asso-
ciation informed council of the
dates which had been selected for
the Old Boys' Reunion, and asked
that council communicate with
the Department of Public High-
ways to insure that there would be
no disruption of roads and streets
in Seaforth, or immediate area,
during the time of the Old Boys.
