Large Attendance At Egmorkiville Another important milestone in the history of the Egmondville United Church was reached Sun- day, when the 122nd anniversary of the church was held_ Large congregations were pres- ent both, morning and evening to hear Rev. Dr. elunnisett, Superin- tendent of the Fred Victor Mission in Toronto. ler. Hunnisett's ser- mons, "Jesus of Nazareth Passes By" and "Soup, Soap and Salva- tion," were most stirring and will be remembered by all who heard Rev. Dr. Semple, minister of the church, was in charge of both ser- eices, and was assisted in the.eve- zing by the ministers from the Seaforth churches. The church choir was in charge of the morn- ing music, singing appropriate an- thems. In the evening the talented group of men, "The Harbouraires," thrilled the congregation with their music. Sunday afternoon, "open -house" was held and many friends took this opportunity to see the renov- ated church and enjoy a cup of -of the evening service "Fireside tea with old friends. tee close Hour" was held, when: the, "Har- bouraires" again -sang several numbers for the enjoyment of the large group of people who had stayed. A feature of the service was music by Mr. and Mrs. Hansen and their daughter, newcomers to Canada from'Dempark. A very generous offering of ap- proximately $1800 was thankfully received, and will be used by the general and renovation funds of the church. At the Fireside service, the con- gregation recognized the contri- bution in time and effort which had been made by John McCloy, and presented him with a travel- ling bag. Dr. Semple emphasized Mr. McCloy's contribution, and the presentation was made by Mrs. M. Patrick. Discussing the successful anni- versary occasion, Dr. Semple ex- pressed appreciation to. the com- munity for the part which citizens generally had played. The servic- es were an amazing success, Dr. Semple said, and we would like the public to know how grateful we are. Shower Honors Miss Rose Givlin A miscellaneous shower honoring Miss Rose Givlin, at her home, Dublin, whose marriage will take place this month, was sponsored by Miss Mary Margaret Coyne and Miss Marie Maloney. About fifty ladies assembled to extend good wishes to the prospective bride. An address of congratulations was read by Miss Marie Maloney, and presentation of varied prac- tical gifts of linen, china and silver was made by Miss Mary Margaret Coyne. The guest of honor thank- ed each individual donor. Several games and interesting contests were arranged. A delicious lunch was served. Service Stations Change Hands Here, A change in the management of Supertest Service Station here oc- curred Monday, whep William Wil - bee took over the lease of the sta- tion from George Miller. Mr. Miller, who has operated the sta- tion for several years, has not completed plans for the future, he said. He expects, however, to re- main in Seaforth in the same type of business. The Fina Station, -operated since it first opened by Walden & Broad - foot, has been taken over by Don Brightrall. Mr. Walden and Mr. Broadfoot recently acquired the - Texaco wholesale distribution out- let here, and have been operating it for the past month.

Marie, aunt of the bride. Wedding cake was served, made from the same recipe used 25 years ago for the bride's cake, and also nearly 50 years ago by the bride's mother. Assisting in serving were Ruth Howat, Eleanor Holgate, Sally Nott, Grace Bond, Nancy Pepper and Beth Johns. In charge of the tea room was Mrs. Glen Galbraith, Blyth. Many beautiful gifts were re- ceived, showing the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Webster are held.

Guests were present from Sault Ste: Marie, Toronto, Hamilton, Kit- chener, Lucknow, Dungannon, Foothill, Clinton, Seaforth, Brucefield and Blyth. DISPLAYING A VINE CROP of tobacco, a seldom -seen plant in this area, are W. J. Cleary (right) of Side Street, and Charlie Geddes, who resides at the Cleary home. The 12 plants were given Mr. Cleary by Hector Verhoeve, of Tillsonburg; whose father owns a tobacco farm near there. Mr. Cleary promptly put them in the flower garden to serve as a background for his zin- nias. With careful watering and lots of fertilizer, they flourished. Hector, who came to Seaforth last year to play hockey as a Junior 'B' goalkeeper, was amazed, at the vigorous growth of the plants when he visited here two weeks ago. Michael Boeder, who 'also stays with the Clearys, has actually made and smoked cigarettes made with the tobacco from lower leaves of the plants. Mr. Cleary sampled one of the cigarettes. He said these. had the usual tobacco taste, bet lacked the flavor of manufactured smokes. Council Advertises forPolice Will End OPP Contract Here Seaforth will be policed by a local force in 1958 if efforts to ob- tain the services of a chief con- stable and constable are success- ful, Council decided Monday night. Clerk D. H. Wilson was instructed, to place advertisements in local and daily papers immediately. e The move to terminate the ar- rangement that has existed with the Ontario Provincial Police for several years, has arisen as a re- sult of increasing costs of the OPP contract.

Contributing to increases has been additional mileage, in- creased overtime, and increased basic rates of pay. Advice from Queen's Park mceived by council a month ago, Urn if the contract was to be continued another year, a third man would be necessary, brought the matter to a head. Council indicated acceptance of such a proposal would bring polic- ing costs to more than $12,000. Costs in August amounted to $1,113, including amount billed for a replacement for a constable on leave. Council discussed the salary range that should apply, and agreed that ceilings should be: chief $3,500, constable $2,800, with arrangements to be negotiated for install New Diesel At Waterworks Installation of the latest word in stationery diesel engines has been completed in the Seaforth PUC pumphouse on Victoria Street, by John Nagle, Dublin millwright. The engine, a full diesel, is a Case 600, and was supplied by Rowcliffe Motors. It replaces a gasoline engine in use since 1923. The engine drives water pumps in case of an emergency, when additional pressure is required, or in the event there is a hydro fail- ure. PUC Manager R. B. Holmes said the engine is run in twice a week to ensure that it is in work- ing order. Will Associate With Local Office Dr. W. G. Drennan has joined the staff of Turnbull & Bryans. Formerly associated with the Am- bulatory Clinic and Farm Service Department of the Ontario Veter- inary College, Guelph, for the past two years, Dr. Drennan brings with him wide experience in the field of veterinary medicine. A native of Simcoe, Ont., Dr. Drennan' graduated from the On- tario Veterinary College class of '55. Following graduation he join- ed the staff of the Ontario Veterin- ary College, where he has been en- gaged in general practice, associ- ated with Dr. D. C. Maplesden, formerly of Seaforth.

It was expected a third man would be required as a standby or holi- days and sickness. Council was informed by Mayor McMaster that Seaforth Shoes Limited was considering a pro - ram of expansion and was nego- tiating for additional space on which to erect a three-storey 15,000 -square foot addition. On completion the 60x100-tfoot addi- tion would require the employment of up to 80 additional personnel. Council indicated its willingness to assist the company and instruct- ed the Industrial Committee of Mayor McMaster, William Ball and Thorpe Rivers, to which was added Dr. J. 0. Turnbull, to take action at the earliest date. Mayor McMaster informed coun- cil there was no indication as yet when a representative of the De- partment of Planning and Devel- opment could come to town to dis- cuss zoning proposals with coun- cil and members of Tuckersmith Township council. Tax prepayments amount to $11,220 to date. Clerk Wilson told council that this was $3,800 more than in the same period a year I ago. Tax arrears payments this year total $16,490.24. The street committee report showed some 1,481 square yards of sidewalks and streets laid. New traffic signs are up, and some trees have been trimmed. Councillor Scott Habkirk, chair- man of the property committee, told council that progress is being made with the renovations at the Town Hall. Council received a letter from Wingham council, requesting the feeling of Seaforth members in regard to the extending of Day- light Saving Time through Octo- ber. Council decided to wait and see the reaction in other towns that are extending. the time. Sea - forth will revert to Standard Time on, September 29. Council accepted the resignation of foie -ter Mayor J. E. Keating as a member of the Community Cen- tre Board. Several persons were suggested as possible appointees, but no de- cision was taken. Several mem- bers of council, asked by the may- or if they would act, refused. "I don't know who you are go- ing to get to take it. It's a thank- less job," Mayor McMaster com- mented. The tax sale, proposed early last winter by council, may have to be deferred until early in 1958, the, Mayor said, Statutes require cer- tain notice being given, and there may not now be time to permit the sale being held this year, he said. Council instructed Clerk Wilson to place preliminary advertise- ments immediately. Included in the sale will be all properties over three years in arrears. Action concerning a deputy reeve must await the return of the assessment roll, expected the end of this month, Clerk Wilson said in answer to a query from Couficillor Turnbull. Council agreed to rent acorn- modation on the second floor to Mrs. Charles Pounder, of Gode- rich, to permit her to instruct a Music lass of 50.

Attending the meeting were some 45 chiefs, members of brigades or municipal officials. Representing the fire marshal's office were John Turnbull, executive officer, and In- structqr Andy Anderson. Chief John F. Scott, of Seaforth, was chairman, and in anticipation of the creation of a meduail aid plan in Huron was appointed coun- ty co-ordinator. The appointment, by order -in -council of the Ontario Government, is symbolized by a badge of office which was pres- ented Chief Scott by Mr. Turnbull. The plan, as outlined by Mr. Turnbull, envisaged a, co-ordinated fire -fighting unit embracing the entire county. Including the fire- fighting units of 13 municipalities in the county, the force would be similar to that already established in Perth and 39 other Ontario coun- ties. Mutual aid plays a major role in peace. time, Mr. Turnbull said, as well as being the basis of a civil defence organization in the event of hostilities. Under a civil defence division of the province, Huron is in Region Three, which also includes Water- loo, Perth, Huron, Bruce and Grey All counties in the region are or- ganized, except Huron. Municipalities represented at the meeting here were Bayfield, Blyth, Brucefield, Brussels, Clinton, Dash- wood, Ethel, Goderich, Hensall, Seaforth, Wingham and Zurich., Indicating there was little doubt in his mind as to the formation of a mutual aid plan in Huron, Mr. Turnbull said the reaction and co- operation of those at the meeting would do a great deal in creating an effective organization. Necessity for such an arrange- ment was brought home in 1950, at the time of Korea. In the light of modern weapons, it was realiz- ed one fire department couldn't cope with what might happen. Establishment of a civil defence set-up followed. Since there is no provincial fire- fighting set-up, the fire marshal's office was made responsible for the development of a plan which, of necessity, would be based on the use of municipal apparatus. Since po single municipality is large enough to handle major dis- asters, county units were determ- ined on as the basis of the co- ordinated effort. Requirement for civil defence cannot be known in advance, Mr. Turnbull warned, but it is inevit- able that there will be fires in particular towns which will be be- yond the capacity of local appar- atus to handle. It is at this point that mutual aid proves its worth. In some areas mutual aid is al- ready in existence, but is unor- ganized. Establishment of the pro- posed plan will not alter or dis- turb existing arrangements which may exist between municipalities. Advantages of the mutual aid plan were that time delays while brigades obtained permission to answer calls in neighboring mun- icipalities were eliminated. This loss of time in arriving at a fire frequently meant that the fire got out of hand and the brigade was away longer than otherwise would have been the case. A second advantage was a stan- dar system of hose coupling at 21/2 inches. Until five years ago there had been 103 different sizes, which meant that many brigades were unable to operate in other than their own centres. No cost is in- volved, other than the mainten- ance of the local apparatus. Answering a query as to why there had been a delay in intro- ducing the plan in Huron, Mr. Turnbull said areas first organiz- ed were those that had in them larger centres with full-time staffs. There were no such brigades in Huron, all being volunteer. Describing steps to take to bring the plan into being, the speaker • e • said each ronuicipality tritist pass* an enabling by-law to permit the local bergede to take part and to, give the local Chief authority to removeapparatus for assistance under a prearranged plan.
