We're having a grand reunion,

Old Boys and Girls of yesteryear,
Coming home to celebrate.
We can only be succes:fu1,
And I'm sure all will agre,
We can do this thing tor;ether—

A. Y. McLean is President,
Now a Seaforth Old Boy Scout,
If you're seeking information,
He knows what it's all about.
Hazel Reid and her committee
Has something that you can do;
Give her the name and the address
Of your friends and kinfolk, too.
The committee have the know-how,
Willing experts, everyone;
Planning and working like beavers,
They will see the job well done.
:Seaforth, ever a sporting town,
Right up at the top, I think;
We are proud of our Arena
Anil our modern Curling Rink.
Schools are enlarged and modern-
ized,
Wide grounds for recreation;
Students today need room to play
For a sound education.
Our churches have a new look, too,
You will find a difference there;
The family pe'w is still the same
Where your forebears breathed a
prayer.
Where can you find a countryside,
A countryside just like it?
The pioneers who broke the sod
Were fortunate to strilce it. •
The Parade will be a highlight;
`Dur' Sills and his committee,
When they get through, Fm telling
you,
You'll think you're in a city.
With kilted pipers keeping step,
Playing "The Road to the Isles,"
Or, "Will Ye No Came Back Again"
May bring to you tears or smiles.
Lights will burn far into the night
In the homes you used to know;
Happy to meet, sorry to part,
When it's time for you to go.
Five days and nights to reminis;
Yes, and sometimes in between,
We will ail stand at attention
And sing "God Save Our Queen.."

HURON'LIBERALS HEAR McCUBBIN;
PROVINCIAL ASSOCIATION ELECTS
Liberals in the provincial riding
of Huron, at an enthusiastic and
well -attended annual meeting in
Hensall Thursday night, heard
Robert McCubbin, M.P., parlia-
mentary assistant to the Minister
of Agriculture, warn against the
practise of protesting imports of
dairy products.
"Canada is an exporting coun-
try," he said, "and we'll find our-
selves in serious difficulties if
foreign markets, through repris-
als. were shut off to us."
The meeting paid tribute to for-
mer members who had passed on.
Particular reference was made to
the late Charles Fritz, Zurich, and
Mrs. Howrie, Goderich.
"I don't like to see county coun-
cils and other organizations asking
the Federal Government to shut
off imports. I don't believe re-
strictions are the answers to our
problems."
On the contentious cheese im-
portation issue which has prompt-
ed Middlesex, Grey, Dundas, Stor-
mont and Glengarry counties to
pass resolutions seeking an end to
imports of dairy products, Mr. Mc-
Cubbin said, "importation of New
Zealand cheese this year is simi-
lar to that of the last five years.",
"About 2,250,000 pounds of New
Zealand cheese has been imported
this - year for use in process
cheese products."
Mr. McCubbin, said since 1950
imports of cheese have been 45,-
000,000 pounds. He emphasized,
however, that in the same period
Canada exported 117,000,000
pounds.
New Zealand cheese imports in
1950 were 6,400,000 pounds, he
said: 1951, 6,500,000; 1952, 5,900,-
000. There have also been im-
ports from other countries.
He viewed optimistically the ag-
ricultural outlook this year. The
per capita consumption of beef
ha.s been rising annually, he said,
and in Ontarie' as elsewhere there
is a demand for meat.
Mr. McCubbin said he expected
the hog market to strengthen dur-
ing the year. In the egg market,
he said, the 110,000 crates taken
up by the Federal Government
have been disposed of and a good
egg price is predicted for this

The Government should stay in
the butter business, he said. Can-
adian climate means that more
butter is produced in the summer
months than during the winter and
the Government has a right to take
up the butter to assure consum-
ers a steady supply throughout
the year.
The floor price of butter will be
set some time this month, Mr. Mc-
Cubbin said, and he hoped it wogld
be the present 58 cents. "A good
floor price for butter will .stabilize
the whole industry," he said.
The surplus of 1954 butter will
not be as great this summer as
was felt Iate last year. He said
that there should be a floor price
for butter and -hogs, but not for
cattle, when the American market
is prepared to handle any cattle
surplus.
Mr. McCubbin was introduced
by A. Y. McLean, former M.P. for
ron-Perth. He was thanked by
James R. Scott, Seaforth. Greet-
ings were extended by Ex -Warden

McMaster presiding,
Nearly two-thirds ($460 00) :off . :.
the 'account was for three' mass
concrete round sewers for extra
manholes in the west lane which, ;a
the engineer had omitted in, kis
original estimate. He admitted
this as a mistake on his part. The
Mayor commented ,op this State-
ment: ". , and the town--haa,
to pay for it]"
The mayor pointed out that no
instructions had been given for
this extra work, and council knew
nothing of it. He also mentioned
the fact that a figure of $420.00 had
been charged for steel for rein-
forcing the manholes. This meant,
according to the mayor, that the
type of manhole had been chang-
ed without consent.
Another item on the account was
$1,660.00 for extra work in the east
lane. This. was an error in esti-
mating depth of the sewer. .
Councillor Kellar remarked that
the project seemed to be up in the
air with nothing finished and noth-
ing settled. Since such was the
case, he queried any action to pay
more money over to the contrac-
tor.
Council decided to seek legal ad-
vice as' to the town's position,
should it refuse to pay the account.
In a letter to the clerk, the On-
tario Provincial Police advised the
council that it would terminate its
contract with the town at the end
of the year. This was made nec-
essary due to recent government
legislation changing the policy of
the O.P.P. The mayor said that
he and Councillor Leslie had an
appointment in Toronto with the
Commissioner to discuss the mat-
ter of an extension to the contract
and thus retain the present meth-
od of policing. All members praised
the work of the Provincial Police
in the town. •
Councillor Close, in his street
committee report, said that certain
drain work had been completed on
Church St., and that there had
been considerable refilling of holes
in roads. Ile informed council
that a "binder" had been discov-
ered which would enable the street
committee to consider the resur-
facing of Main Street sidewalks.
This "binder" would be brushed
on to the original cement and a
thin Layer of cement applied to
this. A small section of sidewalk
will be done immediately to try
the experiment.
Discussion on a proposed snow
loader for 32,075 to fit a three -ton
truck was postpon.ed until fall.,
Councillor Close and Reeve Scoins
are to investigate the purchase of
a sweeper for 3425. This has a
sweep of four feet. and according
to Mr. Close would pay for itself
in one summer.
Reeve Scoins, chairman of the
property c•ommittc e. reported that
the operation of the weigh scales
was costing the town about $300 a
year. It was Councillor Kellar's
opinion that those who were using
he scales should pay Torr their up-
eep. 11 was not the town's policy
n Tooke any rt slit, but it was
iesirable to breapk even O,t learn-
ine that the present rates had
bean in- force for many years, he
expressed the opinion that it was
Ii me to increase them to keep pace
with present economic conditions.
The new rates are 25c a weigh
Inc loads up to 2'2 tons. and 35c
for loads over 2,2 tons. Present
::tes are 15c and 25c. respectively.
A request for a building permit
to erect a Pentecostal Church, at
n cyst of S5.000. was turned over
to the property committee for fur-
ther consideration. The building
to be 24x2,5, and et cement block

requested by C. H. Addicott, bu'
council decided it was not neves•
sary in his particular case.
Daylight Saving Time was set to
begin Monday, April 25, at 2:00

An informal discussion was held
at the conclusion of the meeting
on mileage being allowed council-
lors when their duties take them
