YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO DEFtAT MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY The great and urgent need is to discover the cause and a cure for this dreaded disease. Through funds collected since the first public appeal in 1954, research is now being carried out in leading centres in Canada. The Seaforth Fire Brigade is sponsoring the appeal in town. Its members will call at every house in town on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, Nov. 29 and 30. Please have your envelope ready. An official receipt for the donation will be issued and these monies constitute a de- duction on your 1955 Income Tax. Assist the Firefighters in their campaign ,against Muscular Dystrophy. They are ring- ing doorbells that others might live. This advertisement is published in the interest of the Community by the Seaforth Fire Department. G. A. Whitney, a local merchant, donates to the school either a cedar chest to a girl in the school with the highest marks, or, if the highest marks belong to a boy, then Mr. Whitney donates a writ- ing -desk. However, although the boys have been coming very close to this top honor, a girl just seemed to have' that extra decimal point which was needed. One exception was when Ron Ennis, two years ago, became the first boy to achieve the writing desk. Now, you boys will not want to be beaten by girls and, of course, the girls would dislike to be beat- en out by a boy. The average of both the Easter and Christmas exams are consid- ered, and may the best person, whether boy or girl, win! $ $ The girls' senior volleyball team, or should I say those girls who could escape a couple of classes to play volleyball, journeyed to a new Mitchell High School and a hew gym, to beat the Mitchell girls' volleyball team. Needless to say, some good plans are bound to go astray, and this one was of no exception. Al- though Seaforth led at the end of the half, but as soon as the next half started Mitchell raked up 10 quick points, placing them in the lead. They kept the lead and gra- dually added a few points here and there, when the final score read: Mitchell 36, Seaforth25. $ $ • The school year book has finish- ed a chore—a very large chore— that of the collecting of advertise- ments. A committee of four high school students, Bill Flannigan, Doran Stinson, Joanne Beuermann and Hugh Gorwill, under the guid- ance of a member of the publish- ing firm, approached the merch- ants of the town to buy a section of advertisements at the back of the year book, and in return a year book would be donated to them free of charge. On the whole, the merchants were excellent in their donations, although a few refused to co-oper- ate, believing it to be a poor risk. However, the total amount need- ed, plus a little extra, rolled in, and the year book is well on its way. Not too much shall be done on the assembly of it until after the Christmas exams. $ $ The Student's Council has placed a box in the downstairs hall on the bulletin board. As some stu- dents know already the annual "At Home" will be on Friday, January 20, ideas have to be found in or- der to decorate the gym. Now that the formal is so soon after the New Year, work on decor- ations have to start before Christ- mas. in order that they shall be finished for the dance. So, if you have any good, but attractive, yet simple ideas for a formal decora- tion, the shoe box in the hall is quite willing to accept all dona- tions. $ Question of the week: Audrey, is a player on the Hurons what at- tracts your cheerleading?

Pincombe presiding' and Council- lors Harold Jeffery, Harold Hern, Clayton Smith and Hugh • Love in 'attendance. Minutes of the last regular meeting held. on October 8, were confirmed as printed on mo- tion of Jeffery and Love. H. G. Hays, solicitor for L. Al- len in weed cutting appeal, coun- cil directed that action of council in disallowing appeal he confirm- ed, to Mr. Hays, County Clerk ad- vising that -provincial drainage grant rebates might be applied to unpaid drain taxes. Resolution re approval of high school addition: "That we, the municipal council of the Corpora - B of M Reveals New High Records Revealing new high records in deposits, loans and investments, the Bank of Montreal shows a growth of a quarter -of -a -billion dol- lars in resources in its 138th an- nual statement covering the twelve months to October 31 last, issued Tuesday. Thus, total assets at $2,- 796,174,064 were the highest in the bank's long history. Maintaining its traditionally strong liquid position, the B of M reported quick assets of $1,730 mil- lion, which is equal to 65 per cent of all its public liabilities. Contributing heavily to this posi- tion is the large investment port- folio. valued at $1214 million which —notwithstanding the enlarged de- mand for credit—shows an in- crease of $44 million over the total for investments a year ago. . One Billion in Loans The very substantial increase in loans is noteworthy, inasmuch as total advance have now passed the billion -dollar mark. Commercial and other loans rose $134 million and mortgage loans under the N. H. A. were up from 10 to 51 million dollars, while call loans, reflecting lessened activity in the securities market, showed a decline of $21 million. As a whole, loans rose $154 million to a total of $1,057,- 444,000. Most notable of the increases in the items making up the balance - sheet is the rise in deposits to $2,591 million, up from $2,365 mil- lion a year ago. With the completion during the year of subscriptions to the new issue of the bank's capital to a paid-up total of $45 million, the amount of the shareholders' equity has again shown substantial en- largement, running now to $139,- 134.215. This is made up of the rest fund of $92 million and undi- vided profits of $2,134.215. in addi- tion to the paid-up capital of $45 million. • Increase in Earnings After providing for taxes of $7,- 043.000, the B of M reports earn- ings of $8,042.146 for 1955, compar- ed with $7344274 a year ago. From this shareholders received $6,521.346 — half -a -million dollars less than the, bank is paying in taxes. Total payments to share- holders in 1955 ran to $1.45 per share, compared with $1.40 a year ago. Profits after dividend payments amount to $1 520,800 which, added to the balance of undivided profits from 1954. brings the total to $4,- 134215. From this. $2.000,000 has been transferred to rest account, leaving a balance of undivided pro- fits of $2]34.215. SEAFORTH WI.
