SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1955
Seaforth Top Poultry Centre
Leads Canada In Production
Seaforth is the centre of the
heaviest poultry producing area in
Canada, Merlin H. Mode, district
inspector of Canada Marketing
Service of the Department of Ag-
riculture, told a meeting of the
Seaforth Lions Club Monday night.
Guests of the club at the dinner
in the Community Centre were
members of the Seaforth 4-H Poul-
try Club. Chickens raised by club
members was featured on the din-
ner menu.
Mr. Mode told the gathering that
in the area contained within a 12'/z
mile radius of Seaforth there are
19 poultry stations and six poultry
plants, more than in some Cana-
dian provinces.
"Poultry and poultry products
play a big role in this area. It is
not a one -time -a -year crop, but a
steady, year-round crop.
"Farmers' income in the Sea -
forth area from poultry is be-
tween $15,000 and $20,000 per week
which rolls back into the business
of the town. Seaforth is renown-
ed for the quality of eggs produc-
ed — a quality which exists no-
where in Canada," he continued.
He cited Seaforts as having
only three or four per cent grade
"B" eggs in the summer season,
and "no place else in Canada do
we find such a high standard," he
said. Saskatchewan was reported
as having as high as 50 per cent
Grade "B" eggs in summer and
as low as 30 per cent Grade "A."
"Seaforth is unique in the poul-
try industry and should be more
widely advertised as such," Mr.
Mode advised.
This, the first year a 4-H Poul-
try Club has been in existence.
"has enabled the members to
learn how to assess the value of
their work," he said. He cited one
club member, Betty Storey, as
estimating that she had made $1.58
per chicken profit. She and Ken
Coulson had made up a team which I
competed, as one of 90 teams, in
the inter -provincial judging com-
petition at Guelph, and took fifth
place. Betty Storey and John
Scott, both of R.R. 2, Seaforth:'
stood highest on achievement day
held in conjunction with the Sea -
Lost
M. E. Clarke, Lions Club presi-
dent, welcomed the poultry club
members and expressed the hope
that the sponsorship would con-
tinue to create better rural -urban
relationship.
Arthur Bolton, Seaforth, assist-
ant agricultural representative for
Huron, stated that 418 club mem-
bers in Huron completed their pro-
jects. In reviewing the work of
the poultry clubs, he said the mem-
bers learned to judge live and
dressed poultry, and learned the
business end of poultry raising by
finding out food costs and losses
first hand. He announced County
Achievement Night to be held at
Wingham Dec. 2.
The excellent record book of Ag-
nes Hicknell was passed for in-
spection.
Mrs. P. J. Johnson
Moves To Seaforth
On Friday afternoon the neigh-
bors of Mrs. P. J. Johnson, Mc-
Killop, assembled at the home of •
her son, Joseph, to bid her fare-
well before she moves to Seaforth
to live with her son, John Lou.
The afternoon was spent. in social
conversation, and she was present-
ed with a chenille bedspread, also
a remembrance for John Lou.
Mrs. Johnson thanked the ladies
for the beautiful gift.
A delicious lunch was served by
Mrs. John Dietz, Mrs. Steve Mur-
ray, Mrs. Elmer Koehler and Mrs.
Dominic Murray. All wished Mrs.
Johnson good luck and good health.

en to the Lions Club.
NOVEMBER BLIZZARD BLOCKS ROADS;
SEAFORTH HURONS' COACH INJURED
Heavy snow on Tuesday night,
driven by strong winds, reduced
visibility to a minimum and
brought traffic to a halt on many
district sideroads.
Unusual for November, the
storm by late Tuesday had reach-
ed winter -like proportions. While
main highways were heavy, traf-

Curling Opener
Seaforth curlers held a dinner
Friday evening to mark the open-
ing of the fall and winter season.
President John Longstaff we! -
corned the members and their
guests, and following dinner four
sheets of ice were in play. Din-

fic continued to move despite
ground drifts that made driving
hazardous.
District sideroads and lanes
were blocked Wednesday morning.
Buses serving S.D.H.S. were late
and, according to Principal W. P.
Plumsteel, one bus from the north
returned without pupils when it
was faced with impassable roads.
The absence and lateness of
rural pupils created an unusual
situation at the S.D.H.S., where
exams were • scheduled to com-
.nence Wednesday morning. Since
t was not possible to proceed with
io many absent, the Wednesday
exams were postponed.
The storm appeared to be cen-
tred in the Clinton-Seaforth areas.
While there was some snow and
wind south of Hensall, the storm's
intensity was much less than was
the case further north.
The storm is believed to have
been the indirect cause of an ac-
cident early Tuesday morning
that resulted in serious back in-
juries to Gordon Muir, Seaforth
Hurons coach.

next week.
The Friendly Few Farm Forum
met at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. Jewitt on Monday evening with
an attendance of 20. The topic,
"Farm Accounts," was discussed.
Progressive euchre was played,
with prize winners as folloows:
high, Mrs. W. Dale and Frank
Riley; low, Deanne Dale and Ron-
nie Jewitt.
Lunch was served by the hos-
tess, and Mrs. Frank Riley invited
the forum to her home for the
next meeting.
FIRESIDE FARM FORUM
The Fireside Farm Forum met
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Hoggart, Hullett, with 16 adults
present. The topic for the evening
was, "Why Keep Farm Accounts?"
It is to a farmer's personal ad-
vantage to keep records of his
farm management. A complete
picture of the farm business in-
cludes more than income and ex-
penses. An annual inventory will
show • the general progress of the
business during the year. Full ac-
counts help farmers to have money
on annual tax returns. Elaborate
accounts are priceless, hard to
keep and understand.
A good farm account book is
available free of charge from the
Department of Agriculture, Clin-
ton, and if it is properly filled in,
it makes a good record.
Euchre winners were: high, Mrs.
Hullo and George Carter; lone
hands, Dorothy Dalton and Oliver
Anderson; low, George Hoggart
and David Buchanan.

S.S. 2, McKILLOP FORUM
S.S. No. 2, McKillop Farm For-
um, was held on Monday evening
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Se -
cord McBrien. Topic of discussion
was "Why Keep Farm Accounts?"
Every farmer must be skilled
in many trades, and most impor-
tant of all must be a good man-
ager. It was felt that nowadays
every farmer does keep an ac-
count of his total income and ex-
penses, thereby getting a better
picture of his financial transac-
tions of the year. The simplest
and briefest records will do the
job, if kept faithfully during the
year.
A social hour was spent playing
euchre, the winners being: ladies,
most,- games, Mrs. Sam Storey;
lone hands. Mrs. Elwood Clarke;
consolation, Mrs. W. R. Scott;
men, most games, W. R. Scott;

solation. Ephriam Clarke.

will be held at the home of Mr.

PARR LINE FORUM
Parr Line Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Soldan on Monday evening. There
were 23 adults and six children
present. The topic for discussion
was, "Why Keep Farm Accounts?"
Question 1: What kind of sim-
ple farm records do you think
practical farmers can keep? An-
swer: We think the simplest farm
records would be to have a book,
and keep all the receipts on one
page and all the expenditures on
another page. The farmer should
also keep on file or demand re-
ceipts for everything he purchases
or sells.
Question 2: What are the advant-
ages of keeping such farm re-
cords? Answer: You would know
whether you should file income
tax. It would give the farmer an
opportunity to assess the cost of
production. It would make bud-
geting much easier if farm ac-
counts are kept in order.
Question 3: What might be the
advantage in keeping more detail-
ed and complete farm records?
Answer: It would help the far-
mer to know whether he is pro-
gressing. and what type of farm-
ing he could best benefit by. We
feel though that the ordinary far-
mer or his wife does not have
much time to keep such a detail-
ed record unless they have a good
record book. We think that a de-
tailed farm accounting system
would be more practical on the
farms where accredited herds are
kept, or where farmers desire an
R.O.P.
After the discussion progressive
'euchre was played. Winners were:
ladies, first. Charles Robinson; con-
solation, Miss Margaret, Mousseau;
gents. first, Wilfred Mousseau; con-
solation. Carl Reichert.
The hostess served lunch, much
enjoyed by all. The next meeting
will be held at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Gordon Love. The topic
for discussion will be. "Retirement
Plan For Farmers."
added, namely, the teaching of re-
ligion. He said that the Catholic
teachers are fully qualified to
teach in any school in the pro-
vince. The primary aim of edu-
cation, continued the speaker, is
to instill loyalty to God and to
our country in. the. hearts of the
students. In other words, we are
only shaping citiiens according to
God's plan.
The speaker discussed education
from its beginning in Uper and
Lower Canada, and said that in
the beginning all education was
religious. He traced the advance-
ment of' the educational system
from the time of Jacques Cartier
until the present day.
Father Priester was introduced
by Rev. Dr. Ffoulkes, and a vote
of thanks was moved by James
McQuaid.
William Ryan, the president, was
chairman for the evening. The
minutes of the previous meeting
were read by the secretary. James

MAYOR E. A. McMASTER
SEAFORTH RATEPAYERS HAPPY?
FEW ATTEND NOMINATION MEETING
Municipal officials were return-
ed to office by acclamation, it was
disclosed at the close of nomina-
tions held in the Town Hall Mon-
day evening. No new names were
introduced into the nominations,
only those who have held office
during the past year being pro-
posed.
The nomination meeting was dis-
tinguished by the small attend-
ance which was present, and by
the lack of any contentious sub-
jects raised by the audience that
heard officials tell of municipal
activities during the past year.
Nominations closed at 8:30, and
at that time there were 38 people
present in the hall, including the
press and municipal officials. Dur-
ing the next hour, and until the
meeting concluded, several others
drifted in, but just as many drift-
ed out. Clerk D. H. Wilson was
named chairman of the meeting.
About to begin his sixth year as
head of the municipality, Mayor
E. A. McMaster told the meeting
that he enjoyed the opportunity of
working on behalf of Seaforth. He
expressed regret, however, at the
lack of interest shown by the rate-
payers in the town's business,
which he described as "big busi-
ness'. During the course of the
year the speaker said that $120
thousand was spent by the mun-
icipality.
Finances Good
Describing the town finances as
being in good condition, Mayor
McMaster said there was need for
additional industry and for more
new houses. In his opinion, Sea -
forth has everything in which in-
dustry would be interested, and he
felt that beneficial results would
flow from an organization being,
'proposed by the Provincial Gov-
ernment, whereby the Province is
being divided into zones. The area
in which Seaforth will operate is
being organized at a meeting in
New Hamburg this week, and it is
intended that representatives of
the Council and the Chamber of
Commerce be present at that time
The Province proposes to make .a
grant of $10,000 to each zone, pro-
viding an equal amount is provid-
ed by municipalities in the zone.
In the case of Seaforth, a grant
of $130 would be involved, which
the Mayor said he felt would be a
well worthwhile contribution..
Commends Chairmen
Referring to the sewage system.
Mayor McMaster said that this is
now completed. and he commend-
ed Harvey Leslie, chairman of the
sewage committee, for the im-
mense amount of work which had
been involved in ensuring that the
job was brought to a successful
conclusion.
Councillor E. H. Close, chairman
of the street committee, was also
signalled out by the Mayor for the
job he had done in looking after
the street department so effective-
ly_ during the recent years. The
Mayor pointed out that the pro-
gram which had been followed
would result before too long in
practically every street in the
town being paved.
Reeve Scoins, who is chairman
of the property committee, had al-
so done an excellent job in main-
taining town property and in sup-
ervising the construction of the
new police accommodation, the
mayor said.
Looking into the future, Mayor
McMaster suggested that it would
be necessary to continue a sewer
front line along Goderich Street,
since he had been informed that
the Department of Highways pro-
posed repaving a portion of the
connecting link during 1956. May-
or McMaster said that the instal-
lation of a sewer line and latterals
prior to the paving would save
thousands of dollars to the town,
since the necessity of tearing up
pavement and then replacing it
at the town's expense would be
avoided At the same time. he
said, the Department of Highways
'would contribute substantially or
undertake the entire cost of pro-
viding a bridge at Coleman St. He
and Councillor Leslie had discuss-
ed the matter with the Minister of
Highways.
While he hesitated to stand
again, Dr. McMaster said that
when he recalled the amount of
work which he had done already
on the No. 8 Highway link, and on
the bridge, he decided that he
wanted to see that the work was
finished, and for that reason he
had agreed to accept office for
one more year.
Property Below Estimates
Reeve Norman Scoins, who also
was returned to office by acclama-
tion when Councillor Leslie decid-
ed to qualify for council, told the
meeting that it was gratifying to
know that one had the confidence
of the public.
Referring to the property com-
mittee, of which he is chairman,
he said that while costs had been
estimated at $10,000, it was believ-
ed that actual expenditures would
be somewhat under this amount.
At the moment, $8,950 had been
spent.
Reeve Scoins said that there are
other matters to be attended to in-
sofar as town buildings were con-
cerned, but that it was not pos-
sible to do all the necessary work
in one year. He referred to the
auditorium of the Town Hall in
which the meeting was being held.
as one of the areas that required
major maintenance, and in addi-
tion to this, the wiring throughout
the town building, was obsolete and
required to be replaced.
Relief costs o were. clown a few
dollars from last year Reeve
Scoins said At the moment the,
cost amounted to S425. as ()noosed
to $537 last year. At the sonic
time. hospitalization costs increas-
ed from 1931 last year. to II 063
this year.
Enid P. R. Meetings
As Seaforth's representative fir
county council. Reeve Scoins is a
member of the Library Commit-
tee, and he described the method
by which the committee serves the
people in the county Despite the
expansion which the committee
had undertaken, there continued
to be 60 schoolrooms which are not
being serviced, and this was as a
result of there being no funds avail-
able. A provincial grant amount-
ing to -100 is ma,ched by an eq-
ual amount produced by the coun•
ty. During the year the commit-
tee purchased a new bookmobile..
Reev,e Scoins said, and he regret-
ted that there had been no tender
on this requirement from a Sea -
forth firm, since he would have
liked to have had the opportunity
of purchasing the vehicle from a
Seaforth firm.
In his capacity as chairman of
the County Children's Aid Society.
Reeve Scoins said that public rela-
tion meetings had been held at
Exeter and they had proved par-
ticularly successful. The meetings
provided an opportunity to tell the
public the nature of the work
which the Children's Aid was un-
dertaking.
Reeve Scoins said that some 350
children were under the responsi-
bility of the Children's Aid. includ-
ing 50 full wards
P.U.C. Reports
Frank Kling, chairman, of the
Public Utility Commission, describ-
ed for the meeting work which
had been completed by the P.U.C.
during the past year. The elec-
trical department had been par-
ticularly busy, and during the year
properties on Goderich St. East
had all been serviced from the
rear, which made possible the re-
moval of distribution lines along
Goderich Street. Ultimately new
street lights will be provided on
Goderich St East, but the work
is being postponed until the high-
way program has been complet-
ed.
New street lighting was installed
on John St. and Victoria St., and
during the year 20 consumers in-
creased their service from two -
wire to three -wire. Eight new
domestic services were created
and one new power service. To
