The recently installed Seaforth sewer disposal plant is working satisfactorily and has"received ap- proval of the Ontario Department of Health, diembers of Seaforth Council learned •Monday night as Councillor IL H. Leslie reported for the committee which he heads. Mayor E. A. McMaster presided and all members were present at what proved to be an unusually short meeting, adjourning at 9:25. Councillor Leslie, who as chair- man of the sewage committee, has been faced with the many prob- lems that arose during construc- tion, told council he hoped at the next, meeting to be able to report that everything was finished. A representative of the engineering firm had been in town and claims everything had been or was in the process of being finalized- Ile said the work in connection with manholes and laterals, which was undertaken by Frank Kling on be- half of the bonding company, had been completed and that the en- gineers had indicated their com- plete satisfaction at the way the work had been done. Operation of the disposal plant is proceeding satisfactorily, he ;aid, and council agreed that pres- ent town staff could handle the work under the supervision of street foreman Harold Maloney. Council approved payment for the balance of the town guarantee to the Old Boys' Association. The Mayor and Clerk D. H. Wil- son reported that several inquiries have been received in regard' to lots available for purchase on which to build houses, with the result that a notice is to be placed in local newspapers, asking that all lots for sale be listed with the clerk. Streets committee chairman, Councillor E. H. Close, reported two new six-inch drains laid, one on Market St., between Ord and Louisa Sts., and one on Centre St., between Chalk and West Sts. He reported there were at least 30 dogs in the town without tags and asked what was to be done about it. Clerk Wilson reported that to date 111 tags had been bought in comparison"with 140 last year. Mr. Wilson explained that"as there was; Beauty Winners a separate assessment roll for dogs, the dog tax could not be col- lected with the regular taxes. Har- old Maloney, tax collector, is to be instructed -to proceed at once to collect all dog taxes in arrears; if these are not paid on request, court summonses are to be issued. Councillor Kellar suggested the town put ads in the papers giving owners so many days to purchase tags. Mayor McMaster pointed out that if there is a law it should be enforced_ Reeve N. Scoins, reporting for the property committee, said that two of the rear tires of the town's grader were done; they were "re- caps" when the tractor was bought, he explained, and owe the town nothing- It was left to the reeve anal- Councillor Close to do what they thought best about buying two new tires, estimated to cost about $200 each. The grader, which is credited with already saving,the town considerable money, may be put to further use. The possibili- ties of shaping the plow sections into a blade is to be investigated, and reported on at the next meet- ing of counciL Members agreed that a blade on the grader would be an asset, as it could then be •Jsed at the dump as well as for the streets. Reeve Scoins reported that the construction of the new police sta- tion is progressing favorably. He said that a resident on Jarvis St., in the vicinity of the railway tracks, has been complaining of rats and weeds- - Chairman B: F. Christie of the fire and water committee, told council the new system installed by Bell Telephone was working satisfactorily. Certain additional work remained to be done, and it was expected this would be com- pleted immediately. The rental of the system amounted to $29.55 per month, he said. Clerk D:11. Wilson was instruct- ed to write a letter of appreciation to Neil McArthur, University of Western -Ontario, on the survey he and summer school students con- ducted here this past summer. From the survey, a land use map has been made and forwarded to the town. A town planning com- mittee was suggested as the next move by congeal. `If we stop here, itIan-wasted : effort," ,commented. Mayor McMaster. Building permits totalling $9,000 were granted: C. M. Smith, resi- dence, $7,000; T. Atkinson, garage, $1,000; Seaforth Clinic, addition, $1,008. Council filed for the present a request from the Chamber of Com- merce that a. cycle path be con- structed from Chalk St. to the Lions Park and swimming pool, as a safety measure. The Public Utilities Commission is to be ask- ed to install an additional street light on Chalk St., two poles south of the P.U.C. transformer station. No action was ,taken to appoint an inspector, as required: by a re- cent Ontario Act, to ensure that all ditches were properly protect- ed when men were employed on them. Members will think about it until the next meeting. In Windsor Event Seaforth received wide publicity as the result of the entry of two Seaforth Beauty Queens in a beau- ty contest held in Windsor last week by Windsor Firemen. While the two entries—top girls in the Centennial contest here; Marion Hemingway and Pamela Sadler— didn't finish in the money, they were well up in the final selection. Seaforth's participation in the event was sponsored by the Cham- ber of Commerce, and the entrants were accompanied to Windsor by C. of C. Secretary Eric Milner and Mayor E. A. McMaster and Mrs. McMaster..

Outgrowth of a public meets, ing held August 25, the associa- tion will have the responsibility of sponsoring Junior 'B' and minor hockey in Seaforth. The August 25 meeting named a committee, including 'Adam Ast, John E. Longstaff, Brad Smith, Ken Powell and B. F. Christie, and instructed it to review the hockey situation and to take such action as might be necessary to ensure that Junior 'B' and minor hockey were in operation this season. Minor hockey is financed by re- ceipts from Junior hockey. The association has completed arrangements to enter a Junior 'B' team under the name "Seaforth Hurons,'•', -since it was desired to indicate the broad support that has been forthcoming from the area surrounding Seaforth. Asso- ciation officers emphasize that it intended to regard the entry as a Seaforth and district team, rather than just a•.Seaforth team. The team will play in a group with Sarnia, St. Thomas and Lon- don, as far as is known at the moment, and an interlocking sche- dule will be in effect with the east- ern group, including Waterloo, Dundas, Woodstock, Burlington, Owen Sound, New Hamburg and Simcoe. This will mean many new teams will be in action in Seaforth arena this year. Gordon Muir, long-time Seaforth hockey star, will coach the team. Asking for the co-operation of the public, Secretary John Long - staff pointed out that a Booster Club has been formed as a means of providing funds to meet prim- ary expenses entailed in the or- ganization of teams. "We must provide the youth of the district with healthy outlets for their energies, and this can be done with the support and co- operation of the citizens," he said. Booster Club membership indi- cates interest in and support of the hockey association, he said. It entitles -the member to preferen- tial consideration m purchasing re- served seats for playoff games. A `ftore of the association sociation is a Yhiataa `.

They were very pretty girls and made a great impression on the crowds. The paraders tossed jests back and forth with the spectators. One, feature of 'the procession was a 1912 model Ford. There was an- other of 1920. There were young- sters on decorated bicycles and citizens on foot. It was a sight to bring tears to the eyes, to think that citizens of Seaforth had gone to all this trouble to show their pride in the old town and that neighbors had come from other parts to join in the celebration. Along the route residents had put out Chairs and benches so that the spectators could rest them- selves. The physical exertion of the marchers under that August sun was no smallthing. who were in Seaforth during the Reunion and Centennial was the well-known Canadian columnist, J. V. McAree, of the Toronto Globe and Mail. Mr. McAree, after re- ferring to the Seaforth occasion in seyeral" columns, devoted his Labor Day story` to the reunion here. The piece is reproduced by permission of the Toronto Globe and Mail.) It is probably the first time that the Shakespearian Festival . has been called a side show, but nev- ertheless our visit to Stratford was a mere incident, our destina- tion being Seaforth, or, as our wife would say, Good Old Seaforth in Good Old Huron County. The occasion was a centennial celebra- tion, though diligent search failed to disclose what precisely was be- ing celebrated. Every day is the hundredth anniversary of some- thing or other, and a hundred years ago Seaforth was a swamp .or something very like a swamp. It had not been incorporated. It was a blank space between other hamlets. It really came to life through the building of a railroad, one of whose promoters was a 'partner of Sir John A. Macdonald, and apparently had some interest in the swamp that was Seaforth. In fact, if investigations then had been as popular as they are now the mysterious materialization of Seaforth might well have been the subject of inquiry by a Royal Com- mission. However, this is no time to hint at a scandal which can be only suspected after this lapse of time. - Successful Prayers Gottlieb Mueller, of Brodhagen, celebrated his 93rd birthday at the home of his son-in-law and daugh- ter, Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Beuer- mann, on Monday. Friends called to extend best wishes, and in the evening the Brodhagen Band, of which he was formerly a leader, played in his honor. Mr. Mueller' is in good health, looks forward to reading the daily and weekly newspapers, and goes to the post office for the mail. Mr. Mueller conducted a shoe repair business in Brodhagen for many years hod was also postmaster. He was born in Germany. He is a member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Brodhagen. Seaforth, known, respectively, as Singing Jimmy, Curly Jimmy, Chicken Jimmy and Writing Jim- my. As was the case with so much of the country we had cov- ered the land was shrivelling for rain; but there was hope the drought was nearing an end. This assurance derived mainly from the fact that we were in a God-fear- ing district',, where people said grace before meat. They were praying for rain and we were as- sured that never before had rain failed to fall if the praying were continued long enough. One skep- tic told us that it rained anyway but it turned out that he was not a Seaforth man, but a nasty atheist from Perth County and not held in much repute. With the exception of a few of our wife's relations we knew only /two ,people in the Seaforth district when we arrived. One was Tom Jackson and the other was Jim Scott, professor of English litera- ture at Western University and formerly the popular and respect- ed literary editor of the Toronto Telegram. It was into the Scott home, where three generations of the family had lived, thg we were cordially and comfortably install- ed tinder the auspices of Mrs. Matilda Dunn Jim's housekeeper Grand Reunion While the origin of the centen- ary as we have said was veiled in some doubt there was no question as to the main purpose of it. It was a reunion of old Seaforth boys and girls who had scattered to dif- ferent parts of the country, even to different countries. We met a man who came from California. They went to the old schools, to the old churches, and the streets rang with shrieks and screams and squeals. "Why, Marguerite! This is Jenny, isn't it? What ever became of George? Did Sarah ever get married? D'ya remem- ber?" and many variations of the theme. It was recalled that early in the First World War the high school dances had to be abandon- ed because of a shortage of young men. They had enlisted and were on their way•to France, their only fear being that the war would be over before they were actually in the fighting line. Many of there did not come back, for that is the kind of place Seaforth was and is. night's activities, which will be • climaxed by the car draw. Com- mittee in charge includes J. Scott Cluff, chairman, Frank Kling, Maurice Brown and Cyril Kirk. The club pians its usuai partici- pation in Seaforth Fall Fair ac- tivities. In addition to sponsoring the children's pet show, the club is holding a draw for a purebred sow, valued at $75.00. Tickets for the annual Thanksgiving turkey raffle will also be available. - In charge of the net show are A. W. Sillery, W. J. Duncan and C. A. Barber- H. H. Leslie and Homer Hunt are looking after the sow draw. • The annual fall paper drive takes place on 'Wednesday afternoon, October 5. •Lions will canvass Sea - forth, Egmondville .and" Harpur- hey and pick up papers and maga- zines, which residents are asked to have ready. Depots are being es- tablished in neighboring centres. Thecommittee is headed by Wil- lis Dundas. A new feature which is being planned, according to Lion Presi- dent Clarke is a two -night presenta- tion of a local talent show in the S.D.H.S. auditorium, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 24 and 25. A. W. Sil- lery is chairman of the committee in charge which includes M. E. Clarke, J. Modeland and E. P. Chesney. TheLions Safe Driving Roadeo, first introduced a year ago, will not be held until next spring, the club was informed. At that time the event will be enlarged to in- clude a tractor class, according to J. Scott Cluff, and competition for The Expositor trophy will take place. The Parade The culminating event of the reunion was the parade on Civic Holiday. It seemed to us to be considerably more than a mile long. It was made up of floats and exhibits, what we used to call living pictures, advertising dodges and bands. A copple of them came and .guardian angel- It turned out from outside. These were led by Hensall Lady Celebrates Her 90th Birthday Campaign Officials, Propose Clean-up Of Areas Missed Mrs. Annie Richardson, Hensall, on Wednesday observed her 90th birthday quietly at her home. A highly respected resident of he village for 35 years, Mrs. 2ichardson wasorn in England F. and came to Canada with her hos- rna iZe etas With construction of . the new swimming pool at the Seaforth Lions Park well advanced, steps are being taken to finalize the - canvass for funds which was com- menced throughout the district in May, according to Dr. J. 0. Turn- bull, general chairman of the cam- paign committee. Throughout much of the district the canvass is completed, but in certain areas 'delays resulted, and • for various reasons the canvass could not be proceeded with. Pre- sent plans call for all residents in these areas to be canvassed next Tuesday, Sept. 20. In addition, any residents who were absent earlier in the campaign, will be visited. In Seaforth, details are being worked out by Seaforth' Chairman Elmer Larone. John Modeland is in charge of Tuckersmith, and in McKillop arrangements are being made by James M. Scott and Gor- don McGavin. Response to the appeal for funds has been quite encouraging, ac- cording to campaign officials. There is general appreciation of the necessity of improving swim- ming facilities at the park, and the public has knowledge that the program of improvement can on- ly be carried out if there is gen- eral support of a financial nature. Then, too, it has been pointed out, almost every family in the dis- trict has enjoyed park facilities at some time or another. "Even though they don't swim, they have had a.picnic there, or have visited there. They • realize this is an opportunity to acknowl- edge the benefits received without charge in the past," Dr. Turnbull stated. Organizations are co-operating o number f functi h v and a ,pus been planned, with the proceeds . to go to the pool fund' A number of organizations, who have used the park, have sent donations. An indication of this was a donation of $50 received on Wednesday from the Stratford District Civil Service Association. Pouring of concrete for the pool proper is completed, except for a section of floor at the shallow end.. This will be "done' -hs soon as cement is available. The equip- ment room is completed and in- stallation, of mechanical equip- ment is under way. b E I d F l• D •ls )and and family in 1913.

She takes With Seaforth Fall Fair but a time out to make daily calls on her neighbors. She is a member )f St. Paul's Anglican Church. She has a family of two daugh- ters: Mrs. Archie Noakes and Mrs. R. Taylor,, Sr-, Hensall; one son, Jack, in England; 13 grandchil- dren; 36 great-grandchildren, and one great -great -grandchild - We Were Deflated There was some slight misun- derstanding on our part concern- ing the parade. We had expected to take a more prominent part in it than actually we did. Coming under the most impeccable aus- pices as a relative, by marriage, of the Stewart family, we had sup- posed that we should be either on the reviewing stand or part of a float. Indeed we think there was some such idea in the mind's of others. Unfortunately the day be- fore in casual conversation we had admitted that we did not know Marilyn Bell, or Whipper Watson, or President Smith of the Uni- versity of Toronto, or any mem- ber of the Eaton family. The managers of the parade seem to have come to the conclusion that we were not as important a citizen of Toronto as we had represented ourself in our columns. However, we left with no sense of ill usage, and as we went an old debate was being revived. It arose when one Seaforth citizen said: " Say, how about having a CENtenary?" "Do you mean a cenTENary?" remarked a second. The third, recently from abroad, said: "Do you chaps by any chawnce mean a cenTEENary?" This for a time divided the town, but it was agreed to postpone the discussion until after the visitors had left. C.N.I.B.
