' Since 1860 Serving tho Community First „Published at Seaford', Ontario, every Thursday morning by McLean ANDREW Y. MCLEAN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES Canada (in advance) $2.50 a Year. United States (in advance) $3.50 a Year. SINGLE COPIES — 5 CENTS EACH Authorized as Second Class Mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa Let Ratepayers Decide Sewer Question There appears to be a possibility that Seaforth ratepayers will have an opportunity to express opinions on the construction of an extension to the sewer system when they go to the polls in December. First step to- wards such a vote was taken at last week's council meeting when Council- lor Scott Habkirk served notice that he would introduce an enabling by- law at the next meeting of council. In the light of the conflicting op- inions that existed during discussions of the sewer problem at council meet- ings last summer, it is well that a clear-cut decision be taken. Certain- ly the extension of the sewage system to seive the community as a whole is inevitable and the sooner a pro- posal on -which a majority is agreed is worked out and put into effect, the less costly the finished work will be. To ensure that all aspects of the problem are given consideration by the ratepayers it would seem that the question to be voted on should include three elements. (1) Approval for the preparation by responsible, engineers of a master plan designed to provide sewer ser- vice throughout the town and an in- dication as to when the various por- tions of the plan might be brought into being. (2) Approval for the immediate construction of the extension propos- Industry Has Preferences, Too We all want more industry. In fact, if there is to be an easing in the tax load being carried by citizens in most small towns today, it can only be as a result a a more balanced relationship between industrial and domestic assessment, and that in turn can only come about by more indus- ry. - But how frequently do those who lament the absence of industrial growth in a community fail to real- ize the factors that make such growth possible. It simply is not enough for a town to wish out loud for in- dustrial growth — there are definite steps that must be taken as the Mil- wauke Journal pointed out recently. "Officials of an Indiana city, for instance, asked a large manufacturer to tell frankly why he had ruled out plans for a branch plant there. He did, thus:, Too many houses looked as if they had not been painted for 25 years. Water supply came from one river, raw sewage went into another near where they joined. Not enough, and not good enough restaurant and hotel facilities. Decrepit -looking bridges evidenced lack of civic pride. Business district looked like 1900 vintage. Shortcomings in traffic control, sshools, hospitals, zoning 0 Helping you is part 'of his job!, Bros., Publishers Member of Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association ed this summer to serve a portion of Goderich Street and the hospital, - and such other extensions as might be deemed necessary and economical- ly feasible at this time, provided such extensions fitted into and formed a part of the master plan. (3) Approval of the necessary funds for the preparation of a mas- ter plan and the presently proposed extension. Such a procedure would eliminate much of the criticism of the existing proposal in that ratepayers general- ly would be assured that each ex- tension was a part of an over-riding plan, not something constructed to serve a particular purpose or section. And, too, there would be knowledge as to when the various parts of town would be served. An affirmative vote to such a ques- tion would make possible within a reasonable time the installation of a system designed to serve all elements in the town. It would permit the construction of that portion most urgently required, safe in the know- ledge that such an extension would fit into an /over-all plan. This con- struction in turn would permit the rebuilding of the connecting link of No. 8 highway through Seaforth as soon as possible. Certainly it is de- sirable that sewer lines be laid along Goderich Street before repaving is proceeded with. planning. So an essential and large part of a proper program to -attract indus- try is just good civic housekeeping in general, both by City Hall and by individual businessmen and house- holders. When you apply for a job, yoU look and act your best. So does a community that really wants new business to come and live in it." The March of PKgress We suppose that in the march of progress it is inevitable that changes will occur that may be regretted by some and things will be destroyed that through the years have been cherished by others. But, nevertheless, we were sorry to see several splendid maples de- stroyed on Goderich Street this week in preparation for the erection of a service station. Goderich Street is becoming commercialized and losing its attractive, shaded beauty rapidly enough as it is and can ill afford to lose needlessly any trees. We won- der if when approval was given to cut down the trees bordering the street at this point, full considera- tion was given as to whether it was necessary that all be destroyed in order to serve the hand of progress? There was a time when young men went into bankipg merely to get some business experience. However, today at The Toronto -Dominion Bank we look for juniors who want to make banking their career. They are bright young men who-realize-that.the local and international aspects of today's banking offer unlimited scope ' for brains and experience. We think you'll notice the difference when you deal with the young men of The Ttronto- Dominion Bank. They're studying to be bankers . and they're interested in you and your banking problem. ,Youis CKNX Staff Miss Betty Ann Giesler, tOrMerk S°4hatwhe, WlIgkeertsotn4%14 !el 44 and,t staff at CKNX as assistant to ;Miss Margaret -Brophy, in the women's department.

Real Hen Fruit To her surprise, when Mrs. Ches- ter L Smith opened an...egg the past week which was purchased from Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Smith, Blue Water Highway, it contained three normal yolks which tumbled out instead of the usual one. It is quite common to find 4two yolks but three are an exception. —Zur- ich Herald. Finds Old Coin on Farm A. G. Hicks, of Usborne town- ship, uncovered an 1852 coin in a field near his house this wvek. The coin, marked "One Penny Bank Token", was issued by the Bank of Upper Canada. It is near the size of a 50 -cent piece. Althodgh black, ,the 104 -year-old coin was not badly worn—Exeter Times - Advocate. Night 'Classes to Start The committe in charge of plan- ning for the 1956-57 Community Night School met in the 'Colleg- iate on Tuesday evening, with E. A. Fines, principal of the school indicating a successful season end- ing this spring, the committee set dates for this years' school as follows:- Wednesday evenings, beginning Nov. 7 to Dec. 12, and in 1957, from Jan. 2 to March 6.- gees will be the same as last year: $3 per course, with the exception of welding which is $10.—Clinton News Record. Population Decline Reflects 'Shift Change in operations at RCAF Station Centralia, resulting in few- er married personnel at the station, is reflecting in the decline of pop- ulation for the town of Exeter, re,- vealed by assessor Eric Carscadden at last week's council meeting. This year's population figure of 2,568 is the lowest it has been since 1951. The figure is 1,400 %less than the high record of 2,708 recorded last year. Clerk C. V. Pickard said the decrease was evident in the num- ber of apartments -now vacant. The reason, he felt, was the change in personnel at RCAF Station Cen- tralia. With the establishment of a new school at the airport, many single men have replaced married instructors with families. He for - saw, however, an increasing de- mand for housing as these younger instructors become married. Pop- ulation figures for the past six years, reported by Mr. Carscadden, reveal a fairly constant level: 1951, 2,559; 1952, 2,609; 1953, 2,605; 1954, 2,646; 1955, 2,708; 1956, 2,568.—Ex- eter Times -Advocate. Construction! Work will commence shortly on the building of eight new '.grain bins at the Upper Lakes ,add -St. Lawrence Transportatiort Com- pany elevators at the harbour. Manager R, M. Menzies states they will have a capacity of 25,000 bu- shels and will be about one-tenth of the size of the large bins. Pur- pose of the new bins is to facilitate the loading of trucks carrying feed grain to Western Ontario points. The bins will be located at the south end of the new annex.—God- erich Signal Star. New Street Signs Signs of the times: Apparently traffic experts have awakened to the fact that the average ear driv- er doesn't see too well. In Wing - ham the stop signs have all been treated to a red background on which white letters stand out sharply. On Ontario highways the curve and other directional signs have been changed to black on yellow, while signs which indicate routes to various towns and cities are white on green. — Wingham Advance -Times Police Recover Stolen Cars Two cases of car theft over the past weekend are being *investiga- ted by town police. AC2 Herbert Reid, of RCAF Station Clinton, has been lodged in the county jail in Goderich since Monday evening on a charge of car theft. He is to appear in magistrate's court in Goderich this afternoon. A second car theft occurred earlier in the weekend, when a 1951 -model car owned by Witt Shanahan, RR' 1, Clinton, was missed Friday night. It was recovered by Clinton police from the RCAF Station Clinton.— Clinton News Record. SP1*001 ON/W.409n Mayer R, E, MeKin, IleY, Weaking to *embers Of tile Winghalli.

The .school board, how- ever, decided to proceed with their Plans to construct an addition to the school as quickly as Vossible. The mayor bad been requested to attend the meeting to give his views on the raising of funds for the erection of a new wing at the school which is te cost in the neighborhood of $80,000.—Wingham Advance -Times. Marijuana to Teen-Agers? Local 'police say they have 'no information which would substan- tiate persistent rumors that some- one is supplying marijuana to teen- agers here. Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were in Goderich recently, it is 'nitwit, but np one seems to know whether or not they were engaged in narcotics investigation. Mayor J. E. I4ickins has receiveclut least one c m the worried mother of a teen-ager, but he claims he has no knowledge of what is rumored to be going on. With the rumour spreading like wildfire, it has reached the stage where someone in authority may be forced to make a statement as to whether or not there is any foundation for the story. A spokes- man for the local detachment of Ontario Provincial Police said the rumour is still just a ,rumour as far as they are concerned. The OPP has received no. complaint in the matter, he said.—Goderich Sig- nal Star. Minor Injuries to Young Men Last Friday night two local young men, Robert Williams. and Jim Howson,....iniraculously escaped in- jury when a car in which they were riding went out of control on the Base Line near Summerhill. The car was driven by Williams and as he approached a bridge going south on the Base Line, it went out of control in loose gravel, shot up the side of the bridge, and flopped over on its top. The two boys climbed from the wreckage practically un- hurt. The car, owned by Mr. Grov- er Clare, of Blyth, is so badly dam- aged it is not believed worth re- pairing. The entire top is crushed, down badly, along with other frame and body damage. Again on Tues- day, David Nesbit, who is an em- ployee of the Brennan Construction Co., working at present out of Dub- lin, was driving to work about 6:30 a.m. when his half -ton truck was struck by the.. eastbound morning passenger train as it was pulling into the Dublin station. Other workmen following in vehicles found David standing beside his truck, which had been badly dam- aged and pushed a considerable distance by the locomotive. David was taken to Scott Memorial Hos- pital, Seafortii, badly shaken up and with facial cuts, and bruises. He was kept .there over night for observation, but was, expected to be released on Wednesday.—Blytb Standard. "licrt-volisk Anniversary serviees MretfehON at.
