atepayers Are Urged
To Take More Interest
In a statement issued this week.
Mayor McMaster appeals for a
greater interest in municipal af-
fairs on the part of Seaforth rate-
payers. Mayor McMaster's state-
ment follows:
Many miles away in Hungary,
there are millions of people being
subjected to abject slavery—some
being shipped in cattle cars to
Siberia—none are given a chance
of a free vote,•and many are be-
ing murdered for no cause at all.
How these people, and millions
others throughout the world, would
be overjoyed to be able to live in.
a country that was free. with the
private voting booth in which to
enter and record their wishes. The
gift of a free vote is one of our
real treasures. It is one of the
great gifts of freedom. I can never
understand the indifference our
Local Men Await
U.N. Police Action
citizens take in regard to our muni-
cipal government, why our citizens
fail to attend yearly nomination
meeting to receive• the report of
work done during the year. I also
cannot understand the reluctance
citizens, and especially business-
men. have to bearing their share
of work for their home town. Their
motto seems to be: Let George do
it; and then on the street—but not
in council chambers, criticize
George, who has done his best.
This year many new men wil
have to be selected for your coun-
cil. Will you be • at nomination,
either to stand yourself or to nom-
inate and support other patriotic
citizens?
I Another important decision Sea -
forth citizens have to take on Dec.
12 is in regard to sewerage line to
your hospital. Our hospital is full
—two to five people lying in the
corridors for want of sufficient
room elsewhere. The only solu-
tion is an addition to the hospital.
This cannot be done until a sew-
erage line is built, because there
is no room for additional weeper
tile, So when you go to vote—and
vote you should—just remember
your suffering friends and neigh-
bors lying in those draughty halls.
This work would cost the taxpayer
; throughout the town about one
mill.
When sewerage was first dis-
cussed by Council, the thought was
at that time to build a disposal
plant large enough for the town;
then install sewerage lines only in
critical areas, on the advice of
the Department of Health for the
County. This has been done; the
plant built and Main Street ser-
viced. A letter has been received
by the Council from Dr. Aldis,
M.O.H., requesting this extension
to the hospital, and also a letter
from the hospital. asking for such
an extension. Further additions
should and will be made on their
advice. until all needed areas are
serviced. By proceeding in this
way the burden on people will not
be overwhelming.
The connecting link on Highway
No. 8 is in disgusting condition.
The culvert at the east end of
town is partly closed, due to break-
ing up of the tiles, thereby caus-
ing flooding of the northeast part
of the town. The Ontario Depart-
ment of Highways are willing to
construct a new road from east to
west at no expense to the town,
and are also willing to bear 80 per
cent of the cost of this new culvert.
Our only cost will be catchbasins
and curbs, This is an opportunity
that should not be. neglected.
Citizens, it is your duty to at-
tend' nomination meeting on. the
night of November 26, and to vote
on December 12. It is a privilege
that should not be neglected.
Among those who are awaiting
orders to proceed •as a part of
'Canada's 'contribution to the Unit-
ed Nations Police Force, are Rfm.

To Deliver Mail
After serving some 70 patrons
on Seaforth Rural Route 5 for 27
years. and travelling nearly 200,-
000 miles to do it, Lorne Webster
has •recently retired. The route is
now being handled by Frank Rey-
nolds.
During the years he was re-
sponsible for mail delivery over the
23 -mile route, Mr. Webster rarely
missed a trip, despite heavy snows
and on occasions almost impass-
able roads. On only one occasion
does he recall service being dis-
rupted for more than a day or so,
and then there was a ,three-week •
period during which it was,not
possible to travel 'the entire route.
Worst periods were thesepreced-
.
ing Christmas, when mail deliver-
ies were particularly heavy. The
heavy load, coupled with snow,
made delivery more difficult than
at other times of the year.
A highlight of the evening was
the presentation of the Soole tro-
phy to Lorne Dale and Mrs. H. 0.
Free. Competed for annually for
many years, the trophy was won
by Mr. Dale 25 years ago when he
was bowling with the late R. J.

presentation was made by F. C.

P.*
Huron County ein. expect a bal-1
anced budget at the end of 1956,
with perhaps a small surplus, Conn-
ty Clerk -Treasurer A. H. Erskine
told members of County Council
as they assembled for the' final
meeting of the year on Monday.
Predicting increased borrowings
and resulting higher interest pay-
ments, Mr. Erskine said it has
been necessary to borrow $230,000
from the bank to meet the general
expenses of the county, other than
road expenses. This loan will be
paid off when the county's ,$364,-
755.50 from the county tax levy is
received next month from the mun-
icipalities in the county. Mean-
while. he noted, bank borrowing is
this year likely to cost the county
about $14.000 in interest payments.
Next year, Mr. Erskine warned,
bank interest will cost more, both
because the interest rate has gone
up. and because the county will
have to start borrowing much earl-
ier in 1957 than it did in 1956.
New methods of bookkeeping put
in effect at the Huron County
Home are showing, said Mr. Ers-
kine, that the county farm. oper-
ated, in conjunction with the Home.
is probably going to have a small
profit on its 1956 operations. The
new bookkeeping methods were in-
tended to separate the business of
the farm from the business of the
Home, ; to determine whether the
farm was being run at a profit or
at a loss,
Microfilm equipment. installed
last year in the county registry
office. seems likely to pay for it-
self within two years. in reduced
costs, the clerk -treasurer reported.
The equipment cost $4.100 to buy,
but, so far this year, the operating
costs of the registry office are en-
ough lower to gain back the $4,100,
within a two-year period.
'Possibility that before too long
Huron would have its own hot mix
asphalt plant was seen as Engin-
eer J. W. Britnell told council that
such a plant would, he believed,
pay for itself in a number of years.
There is an increasing need for
hot Mix pavement on Huron roads
to withstand present-day traffic.
"For many years," said Mr. Brit-
nell, "the county as been apply-
ing cold mix pavement. These pave-
nts were adequate for all coun-
t3Poads several years ago. and are
still adequate for many roads in
the county. They will not, however.
withstand the traffic on many of 1
our county roads. The only answer
is hot mix paving in the very near
future. Unfortunately, there are
no large paving contractors in the
immediate area that are able to
take on a hot mix program such as
the County of Huron should carry
out."
There is little chance that a

FEDERATION FINANCING

PARR LINE FORUM
Parr Line Farm Forum met at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon
Coleman. It was review night and
the forum was asked to discuss a
way of financing the Ontario Fed-

were given and the forums were
to decide which one was the best
and their re.hsons. This forum felt
that the levy system is the best
for our township. We think that
if more money is needed for fed-
eration purposes, a grant frorri the
township would be the fairest
method.

trying to prevent Campbell and
Bain (who have been with us from
our first practice and who have
played in' all our games to date)
from playing with us. This is go-
ing to leave us in a bad way, as
it is late now to find replacements
for them. We feel that Bain, par-
ticularly. might be a good Junior
"A" prospect, and if forced to play
in a minor grouping will lose
an opportunity for advancement
which could assure him of a good
education from his hockey ability.
We are still hoping that the pow-
ers -that -be in Wingham will not
prevent a boy like Bain (who is
very anxious to continue with us)
fromgetting all he can from his
hockey ability. which could mean
a good education paid for from his
hockey.

cellent turnout by the ladies,
