One of the chief assets of the building is its economy of construc- tion. The first half of the barn'was put up in three days by Thorpe Rivers and Elmer Rivers, who were in charge of construction, with the completion taking a little more than six days. Not one bag of cem- ent was needed in the entire build- ing. It is 36 feet in width. The Large building will house young chicks for the first 6 months of the year, and broilers for the re- maining months. Automatic feeding and watering takes away most of the labor norm- ally involved in operating such a large building. "Our sand floor seems to be much dryer than cement," said Mr. And- rews. Up to the present I am quite satisfied. Our loss is only .1%, which includes de -beaking at one day old."' At the present, the new building • is housing pulletts that are from stock which lays at least 320 eggs United Church YPU a year, according to Mr. Andrews. Draw Schedule for . Mr. Andrews looks forward to the day when it will be possible for him Summer Softball to construct a building of similar type but one which will be 600 feet long. He expects that a require- ment will exist shortly and is plan- ning to provide the additional con- struction at that time. His propos- ed building will house 10,000 laying hens. - Mr. Andrews commenced the poultry business seven years ago and operates the farm himself. His volume increased each year and as a result of this increase the provis- ion of his new accommodation be- came a necessity this year. Be- cause of the Iabor saving arrange- ments that are in existence, he finds it possible to operate the plant without additional help. DORAN STINSON RECEIVES STUDENT COUNCIL CITIZENSHIP AWARD Seaforth District High School's annual citizenship award has been re -introduced by the Students' Council as one of the highest honors given to a student. Previously this award" had been giver -to the best school citizen of the year by the Seaforth Lions Club. Accomanying this honor was a $25 scholarship. The Lions Club is now contributing to another school endeavor. One of their first steps was to de- vise a standard of evaluating the students qualified for the honor. Both council and staff worked out a plan where 'they judged a student on his or her merits without com- paring -them with another student. This gave the average, all around student just as much of a chance fo the honor as the popular, active student. Handling it in this manner it was hoped to divert a popularity contest. Selected by a special committee of eight members of the staff and four members of the Students' Council, Doran Stinson was selected for this year's citizenship award. Based on her high academic stand- ing and school activity participation Doran was an unanimous choice. At present the young student is campaigning for the office of secre- tary for next year's Students' Coun- cil. She has been active in musical DORAN S'I'INSON productions around the school as well as having a high school spirit in sports and special campaign work. BISHOP OFFICIATES AT ST.

Under the direction of F. A. Dob- son, the 250 cadets performed their colorful ceremonies before a large number of onlookers. Highlighting the ceremonies was the cadet bugle band demonstra- tions under the leadership of Bill Flanigan. The maroon clad en- semble' went through a variety of manoeuvres accompanied by their musical numbers. "We were a pretty fair' band this year," said Bandleader Flannigan. "We've always had a good band, but this year I think they are a little better." Camp Cadet Leaders Four of the head cadets were ex- pieriened cadets who had spent summer in Cadet Camp at Ipper- w-,ash. Company Sergeant Major Ron Scoins will be attending Nat- onal Cadet Camp at Banff this summer. This award is given to a leading cadet fol- his proficiency, combined with high standing of his corps.

Major Cook selected Joe Williams and Ron Scoins as the best boy cadets, and June Ross and Joanne Beuremann as the best girl cadets. Individual Demonstrations Three individual groups of boys demonstrated the use of the bren gun, signal relay, and map read- ing.

All five boys have tried their signal tests and are waiting official word of their passing. For those who do pass, the army will give a bonus of $20. During the inspection, this group of six demonstrated 4 radio sets which included long wire antenna. Bren Gun and Maps Sergeant Bill Litowski said, "Most of the boys in our group know quite a bit about the bren gun." The group of eight was very ver- satile in handling the light weapon and showed the inspecting officer that they were completely familiar with its mechanism. Orienting maps, taking readings and locating yourself was the theme of the show demonstrated by the map reading group under Company Sergeant Major Ron Scoins. tant coach Bill Smith, and Mr. Brown said they hoped the sports fans will encourage support and help for their young squad. Baseball Equipment Needed All three teams are in need of ball equipment, any mitts, balls, bats, or uniforms could be readily used, which includes used equip- ment. FALSE ALARMS CAUSE HEADACHES FIRE DEPRTMENT SEEKS SOLUTION Continuation of false alarms has forced _the Seaforth Town Council and volunteer fire department to take steps to replace the central battery mechanism in the alarm system. Although the actual cause of the false alarms isn't known, Fire Chief Jack Scott said the fire department thinks the 30 -year-old alarm system is wearing out. Chief Scott says the alarm boxes on posts around town are working efficiently and can still be relied upon. It is the central part of the system that is causing the confusion. "My feelik, is to do away with the alarm system and that goes for most of the brigade," said the chief. "It is too costly." It is recalled Count:il, some months ago, approv- ed removal of all but four alarm boxes. Councillor Bev. Christie is invest- igating the matter with fire alarm manufacturers. From information he has received, he says, "It will IX 1"rk'i'aR�'d!U$tul.nli''Drfirttr`fwea�.+ Y ai.kz'dfei�uv'riti9i cost the town too much money for an alarm system." Another headache encountered with the present alarm connection is the continuation of alarm{ boxes burning out when fallen limbs snap the wires. The repairs for these burned out units are also a high cost. A solution to the problem is ex- pected to be discussed at the next council meeting.

PUBLIC SHOWS NO INTEREST, ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DISBANDS Seaforth Amateur Athletic Assoc- iation lras disbanded and has with- drawn from any further activity in the Seaforth sports' picture. ' This was the action taken by the athletic group as a result of the poor turnout at last Friday night's annual organization meeting. The small twelve member attend- ance felt the association wasn't functioning for hockey alone. "There's more to this athletic business than a hockey team," said "ex -president John Baldwin! Most of the members wanted to see the group carry on but under present conditions the committee thought it was carrying on an ac- tivity in which _only themselves showed any interest. Publish Financial Statement - In a general discussion on the financial affairs, it was decided that the financial picture of the associa- tion should be published. This will be "available shortly. "I think the finances should be published. The people don't know how much it costs to run a team," said Gordon McGonigle. "Any funds that are left over should be given to the Minor Baseball Assoc- iation." This proposal was unanimously accepten by the rest of the group. Ex -secretary -treasurer, Jim Mur - To Draw Huron Football Schedule A meeting of representatives of teams in the Huron Football League will be held this week when a sched- ule will be drawn. It is expected that the league will operate in two sections with four teams in each. McKillop Lady, 72, Is Badly Burned Seventy-two year old Mrs. Frank Coleman Sr., of McKil- lop was seriously burned Wed- nesday afternoon when her clothing caught' fire as she tend- ed a stove at her farm home, four milesnorthwest of Sea - forth. Alone at the time, her cries were heard by her hus- band who was working nearby and who summoned help: - Mrs. Coleman was rushed to the Stratford General Hospital, where she is reported by Dr. M. W. Stapleton as being in "very serious condition." Seaforth Bowlers - Ready For Season Seaforth bowlers got underway for the new season when club mem- bers held a pot -luck supper Wed- nesday evening. Dr. J. C. MacLen- nan, club president, was in charge. In discussing plans for the sea- son, Dr. MacLennan issued an in- vitation to the public to enjoy the club facilities during the summer Months. Any who may be interest- ed in playing or joining the club, may contact him. ray said the amount left in the Ath- letic Association accou t uld b halt and when it was possible' surae work four years agog' a ate was made. at the Seaforth enlc4;o1 the ards were altered in the meantune! road. Highway construction stand to provide for a 100 -foot right-of- way- and this meant that the work done at the Kippen end would re- quire to be brought up to the new standard. A further delay arose because consideration was being given to the advantage of the existing route as compared to a new route. These problems have now been "resolved .'• and the necessary right of way ac- quired to permit construction to go ahead this summer. Some seven- teen feet of land abutting the exist-.-. ing road on each side have been purchased from the adjacent pro- perty owners. The two and a half mile stretch does not present any major grading problems, Mr. Patterson said. With exception of rises near the John Sin- clair farm the route is quite level. While it is not possible to say ex- actly when the work will commence Mr. Patterson said he was hopeful the program would be underway by mid -summer. McKillop Grain Club Meets The McKillop 4-H Grain Club met at the home of Stanley Hillen on 'Tuesday. President Bob Broadfoot opened the meeting with the 4-11 pledge. As Bob Betties is going to be absent during the . summer months, Wayne McMichael was elected in his place as vice-presi- dent. A class of oats and a class of timothy was judged and every- one gave reasons. Earl McSpad- den showed films, and a delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Hillen and more films were shown for those who wished to stay. n wo e around $25.

Town Recreational Committee "It is now up to the town-te- form a recreational committee in con- nection with Community Program Branch of the Department of Ed- ucation," said Dr. Paul Brady. Concern was, expressed as to what would happen to the arena if there was no organized hockey next year but it was the feeling of the meeting that this would be something for the arena commission to deal with. ' Detroit Trip After the organization had offici- ally disbanded, a few of those inter- ested in last year's midget hockey agreed to take the team to Detroit to see a ball game. All finances for the trip are to come out of their own pockets. Seaforth Lions Club spring pap- er drive totalled 64,320 pounds, and according to Lions who took part, was one of the most successful paper collections promoted by the club. A C.N.R. freight car was com- pletely filled, and 6,200 pounds were left over. This additional paper was trucked to Brantford paper mills by Lion Walter Stuart. The best tied bundle of papers- f<'as put out by Bob McGonigle, volunteer workers said. The neat bundles were easily handled, which saved a lot of time when filling the freight car. Lion President, Alvin Sillery, discussing the drive, expressed appreciation to Seaforth and dis- trict citizens for their fine co-op- eration.
