DISTRICT FARM FORUMS DISCUSS
FARM MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS
S.S. NO. 2 FORUM
S.S. No. 2 Forum met this week
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wal-
ter McClure with an attendance of
20 adults.
The subject was, "What About
Farm Management." It was felt
that farm management would be
all right for the younger farmer
starting to farm. We don't think
it would be needed unless he is un-
able to manage his own affairs.
It was considered that the per-
son that benefits from the service
should be the one that pays for it;
also operated by the farm organ-
ization or the Provincial Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
A social hour was spent in cards.
Winners were: ladies, Mts. Stew-
art Dolmage, Mrs. Sam McChire
and Mrs. Walter Scott; men, Sam
McClure, Robert McMillan and
Walter Scott.
The next meeting will be held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Palin.

Council Grants
$1400 To Aid
Hockey Deficit
A grant of $1400, to be applied
to the 1955-56 hockey deficit, was
approved by Seaforth Council Mon-
day night. The deficit amounts to
$2537, John Longstaff and W. T.
Teall, representing hockey inter-
ests, told council.
The municipal grant of $1400
will permit outstanding accounts
to be cleared on the basis of 50
cents on the dollar. It is expected
all credtiors will agree to such an
arrangement, according to the
delegation. One account—covering
board—will •be paid in full,
Reviewing hockey difficulties,
the delegation told council when
Junior "B" was organized this
year. it was expected that with
some assistance from the town,
plus $1,000 promised by Chicago,
debts could be paid in full. Since.
Chicago withdrew its -support, this
no longer was possible.
As far as the present season. is
concerned, Mr. Teall told council
he felt the hockey program would
break even, providing the sale of
booster tickets held up. Certain
additional expenses involved in the
operation of minor hockey would be
faced, but probably could be met.
Agreeing the hockey group need-
ed help, Councillor Kellar, at the
same time wondered whether coun-
cil should assist one organization
and not others.
Councillor Close felt it unreas-
onable that groups go ahead with
proposals, and when difficulty is
experienced ask council for help.
Discussing the arrangement the
team has with the Arena Mr. Teall
said the arena gets 40%, the club
60%, after game expenses. Mem-
bers of council were disturbed, be-
cause they had no knowledge of
arena commission activities. May-
or McMaster said he had no know-
ledge of a meeting having been
held, but Councillor Christie, also
a member of the commission, said
he had been present.
In attempting to arrive at a rea-
sonable grant, Mayor McMaster
wondered. whether if the town put
up $1,000, neighboring townships
would each donate $200. This iiti'S`
not considered feasible, it being
pointed out few booster tickets
were being sold in the country.
Recalling that he had opposed
Junior "B" at public meetings be-
cause he doubted it could be af-
forded, Reeve Scoins Wonderecr
whether the Lions Club would fore-
go an annual grant of $125 or park
maintenance, so that amort could
go to minor hockey.
As the meeting adjourned, Reeve
Scoins asked. council to make ob-
ligatory the provision of financial
statements in every case where a
grant is requested of council. It
was agreed he would discuss how
this could best be done with the
town solicitor.

Question No. 1: In what circum-
stances might the individual farm-
er in your neighborhood use a
farm management service? An-
swer: We think that with the in-
formation we can get from, farm
magazines and papers and the ag-
ricultural representatives. if we
were getting adequate prices for
the products we could manage our-
selves. No. 2: Who should pay for
it?, No. 3: Who should operate it:
universities, provincial d e p a r t-
ments of agriculture, farm organ-
izations,' commercial organiza-
tions? Answers to 2 and 3: This
forum does hot think this farm
management service is necessary.
We feel that If this plan was put
into action there would be an in-
crease in production and therefore
there would be a greater surplus
of goods on the market, and na-
turally the prices wouldodrop. The
farmer would have more work for
the same amount of money. We
feel that the farmers should have
more of the consumers' dollars.
The discussion was followed by a
few games of progressive euchre.
Whiners were: ladieS, Mrs. Chas.

L.O.B.A. Dance
Goes On Despite
Union Ban
Despite Union differences that
have resulted in the Lloyd Wright
orchestra of :London cancelling an
aireement to„play here, members
of the L.O.B.A. and L.O.L., who
were arranging the dance, an-
nounced this week the dance sche-
duled for Nov. 16, in the Commun-
ity Hall, will go ahead as planned.
Services of a popular orchestra are
being obtained.
Officials of the society had en-
tered into what they considered
was a firm agreement for the ap-
pearance of the CFPL orchestra
here and had advertised the
dance extensively throughout the
district. They were surprised to be
advised by the Wright orchestra
that since Stratford mitsicians' un-
ion refused to let them play here,

Vancouver, B.C. agreement, •
Seaforth ratepayers will be call-
ed on to decide whether or not
they approve the extension of the
sewer system to serve Goderich
Street West and Scott Memorial
Hospital, Seaforth Council decided
Monday night.
Council gave two readings to the
sewer by-law and passed an en-
abling by-law to permit the mat-
ter to be referred to ratepayers.
The vote will take place on Dec,
12 at the same time as municipal
elections are held.
Possibility of a vote on the sewer
question was seen at the October
meeting of council, when Council-
lor Scott Habkirk gave notice of
his intention to introduce an en-
abling by-law at the November
meeting. At that time he said he
felt sin.ce there had been so much
controversy surrounding the mat-
ter, the public should have an op-
portunity of expressing an opinion.
While council set in motion ma-
chinery for a vote, it was not with-
out some hesitation on the part of
some members.
Councillor Habkirk found the by-
law as drawn to be different than
he had expected. In answer to a
query from Councillor Kellar, it
was explained the by-law covered
only that work proposed last sum-
mer—an extension along Goderich
St. West I and to the Hospital.
Reeve Scoins felt the by-law
didn't go far enough. "I think you
should have gone further and de-
fineda means of providing pro-
gressive sewage throughout the
town. The vote would be differ-
ent if it was on the whole town,"
he said.
Councillor J. T. Scott understood,
he said, that when sewage was
first undertaken, it would in time
cover the town.
To
Replying to suggestions that
there were areas in town for which
there was no requirement for sew-
ers, Reeve Scoins pointed out the
south section of town was not in
that category. He agreed that the
people should have a vote, but that
the question should be broader—
something in which all were inter-
ested.
After second reading had been
given, Clerk Wilson explained in
answer to a query, that the vote
on the sewer by-law would now
have to take place, even though
all municipal offices were filled by
acclamation.
Councillor Christie raised the
matter of service to Goderieh St.
West. People on the south side of
Goderich St., beyond Sparling St.,
can't get service, he pointed out.
A simple majority is all that is
required to give approval to the
by-law, Clerk Wilson said, He was
unable to indicate • the number of
ratepayers entitled to a vote. Un-
der certain circumstances tenants
may vote.
Councillor Close Back
All members of Council were
present and Mayor E. A. McMas-
ter presided until called out near
the end of the meeting, when
Reeve Scoins took over the chair.
Council welcomed back Councillor
E. H. Close, who had been absent
through illness.
Court tif revision on the 1957
assessment roll will be held Mon-
day. December 3, at 8 p.m. Coun-
cil was informed there are a num-

PULATION INCREASE ENSURES
BRIGHT AGRICULTURAL FUTURE
Members Of the Lions 4-H Poul-
try Club were 'guests of the, Lions
at a chicken dinner in St. Thomas'
Church Hall Monday evening. The
meeting was arranged by Club
Leaders J. M. Scott and Dick
Whitely, Mr.. Scott presided. Mem-
bers welcomed W. J. Duncan, who
returned following his illness.
Describing the outstanding con-
tribution which 4-H work made. to
.he community, Lion President J.
S. Cluff welcomed the guests.
Assistant agricultural representa-
tive Art Bolton told the meeting
559 4-H projects were under way
in the county this year, of which
85% had been completed. Each
year ,sees an increase in quality.
The meeting paid silent tribute
to the late Dr. J. G. De Pape, who
died a few weeks ago. Dr. De Pape
had been active in the club lead-
ership.
Introduced by Mr. Bolton, Geo,
Gear, Bruce County agricultural
representative, told the meeting
there was a bright day dawning
for Canadian agriculture. Indus-
trial development. coupled with
large increases in population, made
necessary increased food supplies.
At the same time, there was a
falling off in the number engaged
in agriculture.
The difficulty, he said, might
well be not one of surpluses, but I
the problem of feeding the popu-
lation. As more youth left the
farm, it was necessary that farm-
ing methods increase in efficiency
if production was to be maintain-
ed. He described the necessity for
productive increases as -a chal-
lenge to 4-H members—the farm-
ers of tomorrow. Production can
be increased and as an example,
Mr. Gear said in Denmark output
was lip four times since 1900.
Describing means adopted to in-
crease efficiency in Bruce, the
speaker told of cases where farm-
ers were depending on the output
of beef type milking cows for day-
to-day expense money. The work
involved, coupled with poor stock,
resulted in a return of about $100
a 'year, or 27 cents an hour. Farm
management training suggested
the advisability of obtaining pro-
active dairy cows, Farm man-
agement, he says, teaches what to
do under particular circumstances.
The speaker, while recognizing
the need for more efficient pro-
duction, said he hoped the day
I would not come when the family
farm disappeared. Neighborliness
depends on it, he said.
R. S. McKercher thanked the
i speaker. while Bonnie McLeod ex-
pressed appreciation to the Lions
Club.

McKillop Friends
Honor Joy Jowl"
Approximately 80 friends and
neighbors gathered at Duff's
Church, McKillop. on Tuesday eve-
ning to honor Miss Joy Jahtzi,
bride -elect, at a miscellaneous
shower.
During the evening a bride's book
was made and several contests en-
joyed. Mrs. Robt. Doig and Mrs.
Gordon McKenzie 'gave two read-
ings. The basement was decorated
with pink and white streamers and
bells. The bride was seated in a
decorated chair with her mother,
Mrs. Aaron Jantzi, and the groom's
mother, Mrs. Alfred Ross, On either
side.
Catherine Campbell read the ad-
dress and Dorothy Keys and Jean
Scott carried in the well-ladep bas-
ket. Joy thanked everyone for the
beautiful gifts and invited every-
one to visit her in her new home
in Hibbert.
On Saturday evenig Joy Jantzi
was honored at a miscellaeous
shower when about 25 girl friends
gathered at the home of Audrey
Godkin. The evening was spent in

ty. He felt the matter could be
handled more economically by..
agreement than by bringing in au -
engineer and agreed to pay $30
to the work.
Mr. Reynolds said the cost would
be about $1.00 a rod to have the
work done by a power shovel. This
was what a similar job in MeKil-
lop had cost. About 100 rods was
involved.
The street committe is to take
necessary action.
Councillor Scott said he had dis-
cussed the matter with Tucker -
smith Council and that they were
not interested. Tuckersmith would,
however, pay half the cost of 16 -
inch tile to close in a drain on
Brantford St. This, too, was • left
to the street committe.
Reporting for the street 'commit-
tee, Councillor Leslie said a num-
ber of trees had been removed,
certain drains cleaned. and a new
drain installed through Victoria
Park. Snow fences were in place.
Councillor Close again pointed
out to council the necessity of ob-
taining either a truck or grader
for snowplowing. Suitable equip-
ment . was available from the Ad-
ams people in Paris. Reeve Scoins
said Dominion Road Machinery at
Goderich also had equipment.
Councillor Habkirk and street
superintendent H. Maloney are to
check and report.
Councillor Habkirk, chairman of
the property committee. said Town
Hall changes and construction were
well under way. Council agreed
that his committee proceed with
necessary repairs to the former
waterworks residence.
A check valve has beeil installed
at the sewage disposal plant to
prevent river water backing up,
Councillor Leslie, chairman of the
sewage committee, said. The con-
tractor had not completed •replace-
ment work necessary, and there
were rumours the company was
perhaps not in a position to do
the work. The solicitor and en-
gineer were checking.
Mr. Leslie spoke of the work
which had been done by the solici-
tor since the sewer program got
under way nearly three years ago.
Involved was the completion of 46
easements, as well as four trips to
Toronto and countless consulta-
tions.
Mayor McMaster told council of
a convention concerning drainage
and sewage which he had attend-
ed in Windsor.
Accepted practise, he said; is
that all laterals be not less than
six inches and in many cases 10
inches.
Sewers should be laid in crushed
stone and packed with sand. All
lines should be flushed twice a
year to prevent costly replacement
work in the future, was informa-
tion he had gained from conven-
tion speakers.
If the provnieial water resources
board undertook a sewer program
in the town, the cost would be high,
Mayor McMaster warned. The
board would insist on serving the
entire town and would also oper-
ate the disposal plant.
Commenting on the value of the
meeting, Mayor McMaster said he
wished he had known when sewer
work started here, what he knows
now.
The Mayor reminded council
Clinton was reviewing its drain sys-
tem and replacing a portion each
year in accordance with an ap-
proved plan He felt in the long
run such a course would save
much money.
The big difficulty here; Reeve
Scoins felt, was that there were
no records of existing drains.
The town solicitor will ask the
Municipal Board and Department
of Municipal Affairs as to steps
that can be taken to relieve five
citizens from liability as a result
of advances they had made to per-
mit the construction of a perman-
ent floor in the Arena.
Councillor Scott was doubtful as
to the value of the floor. He felt
the only benefit was to the Cham-
ber of Commerce. who held a show
on Fair Day.
Reeve Scoins said that wasn't so
—that everything on such occa-
sions was given by the Chamber
of Commerce to the Agricultural
Society.

A recommendation 'by Mayor
McMaster that the town take an
eiition to purchase 34 acres pf land
as a potential site for industry
was accepted. by Council Monday
night.
The 'option covers land owned by
Carl Dalton, and is located south
of the C.N.R. at the westerly end
of Railway Street. The option is
for six months at a rate of $115
per acre. The option was obtain-
ed for $100.
The action was recommended,
Mayor McMaster told council, be-
cause officials of the Mid-W.OD,A-
had told him an industry was in-
terested in this area. He had been
told if anything was to come of
the matter, it would be necessary
to have at least 30 acres available.
The site in question had been
inspected and was felt to be well
adapted, he said.
Plan Restaurant
In Queen's Building
Plans to operate a restaurant in
the Queen's Hotel were concluded
Saturday night, when Jack Chereos
entered into a lease for a portion
of the building. The hotel has
been closed for some months.
Mr. Chereos, a former Seaforth
resident and well known in the
district, will open the restaurant in
what Was the dining room of the
hotel. Major alterations are under
way, which will include the pro-
vision of a new entrance onto
Goderich St. Planned to provide
a full restaurant service, the new
enterprise expects to open Dec. 15,
according to Wilson Oke, who ar-
ranged the rental details.
Hockey Hapn's
(Ey W. T. Teall)
At a well-atterided meeting fol-
lowing the game last week, your
present group agreed to continue
'management of the Junior "B"
team. and I believe all points of
disagreement were cleared up. As
you know. J. E. Keating won the
$100 draw and at the meeting it
was agreed that he and Mr. Reid
would accept the prize and each
have purchased an additional $100
worth of booster tickets.
That all may know how our ex-
penses are made up, I would like
to explain the following expense
accounts: Travelling expense is
the cost of players and coach driv-
ing to Seaforth for games and
practices. also the cost of taking
players to out-of-town -games. This
is one of our biggest expense ac-
counts, but we feel it is cheaper to
bring players in than maintain
them intown.
Coaching. as you will see. is $25
per week—very reasonable, we be-
lieve. since this means being here
every Sunday afternoon and gen-
erally four nights each week—two
for games and two for practices.
Lunch expense is composed of
monies given to players after each
game. which is $1.00 at home and
$2.00 away. This is the only money
given any player besides driving
expenses to the ones who drive
here. and this is only enough to
cover bare expenses for gas. etc.
From Lucan. Wingham, Goderich,
and Stratford it is $3.00, and from
Hensall and Clinton it is
$2.00. which we feel is not exces-
sive.
I believe the balance of the state-
ment is self explanatory. such as
equipment. etc.
1:
May we again ask our rural
friends to try and purchase or sell
the tickets mailed to them. or at
least see that they are returned,
as we must account for all tickets
out. and each ticket is charged to
the party to which it was mailed.
*
You will see by the following ac-
count that to date we have been
able to keep even, but we now
have the additional expense of
equipping the minor hockey teams,
1 and for this reason we are going
to have additional •help by way of
booster ticket sales. I know we
have hockey friends who have not
as yet purchased their ticket, but
intend to do so. It is impossible to
contact all, so please do not wait
for someone to call.
