• The eetoard 'ell' Transport Com-
missioners for Canada has reject-
ed an appeal of Huron municiPali-
ties against a. decision of t.he CNR
to cutsservite ineltelf on the Strate
ford-Goderieb line. The 'last run
of the morning and night trains
which are affected will be on Sat-
urday. ••
In a letter ,addressed to munici-
palities along the line, the board
says it has given careful consid-

by the municipalities and shippers
concerned, but does not feelit is
justified in interferring in the CNR
decision.
The CNR proposal was first ad-

112th Fair
Sets New
Records
Toe 112th Seaforth fall fair was
an outstanding success in every
respect, directors /earned Tuesday
as they met for the first tune since
the fair.
Prize money earned totalled
more than $5,000, President R. W.
Campbell said. Of this amount,
approximately $4,000 can be count-
ed towards Class B eligibility, en-
suring that the standards will be
met for the second year. • Re-
quirements for Class B rating are
that prize, money paid total at
least $3,000 in each of three. suc-
cessive years.
According to the report of, sec-
retary Earl McSpadden, entries
were up, prize money offered and
won was up, and attendance was
up, Mr. Campbell said. The meet-
ing reviewed each department,
with the thought of recommending
improvements for next year. The
annual meeting will be. held in
January, but plans for this will
be worked out at a later meeting
of the board.
Despite increased prize pay-
ments, directors- were confident
the 1957,.ir would at least break
even, Mi.• Campbell said. Prize
monies will he' paid in full and
payment will go out shortly,, he
stated.
The annual meeting of the dis-
trict fair association is being held
in Dungannon on October 31. Sea -
forth will be represented by Mr.
Campbell, secretary Earl McSpad-
den and Mrs. J. Grummett.
ectEd
use Followieg receipt of protests,
a further meeting was held in
Clinton with representatives of the
Board of Transport Commission
ers, In the meantime, the railway
proceeded with its ',plans to re-
duce service, and more than two
weeks ago announced the final
pine -would he on October 26. The
advice of the Board to the muted,-
Palities is dated October 16.
The letter of advice, which the
board sent out over the signatures
of C. W.. Rump, Secretary, fol-
lows:
"With reference to your com-
plaint in connection with the re-
moval of trains 37 and 284between
Stratford and Goderich, Ontario,
Canadian National Railways, this
matter has been investigated by
officers of the Board's Operating
Branch and their report has been
reviewed by the Board:
"It is noted that, in the event -
of these trains being removed, ade-
quate express truck service will
be provided and the extent to
• which the travelling public will
be affected by the Company's pro-
posal is the only matter left for
consideration.
"In dealing with questions of
this nature, it is necessary for the
Board to weigh the economies
which will be realized by the Rail-
way Company against' the incon-
venience which might be caused
to the railway patrons under the
proposed reduction in train ser-
vice.
"In this particular instance, the
Board on careful consideration of
the above factors does not feel it
would be justified in requiring the
Railway to continue to operate this,
unprofitable •train service.
"However, you will appreciate
that .the Board has the power to
investigate any complaints which
may arise in respect to the in-
adequacy of the service being pro-
vided by the Railway after this
service has been given a fair
trial."
Brigade Fights
Fire In Auto
, Fire completely destroyed a 1953
model car in McKillop Township
• late Tuesday night. Damage was
estimated at $900 by Fire Chief
John F. Scott, who, with the rural
fire brigade, was called to the
scene shortly after 11 p.m. '
The vehicle, owned by Calvin
• Bulky, was parked in the farm
driveway, near the Hulley house,
about 6:30 p.m. Mr. Hulley said
that no one was near the car after
that time until about 11 o'clock,
•*hen members of his family arous-
ed him when they noticed fire in
the vehicle.
Not having an extinguisher, Mr.
Hulley called the Seaforth brigade.
By the time firemen arrived, the
car was completely• in flames,
with the interior demolished and
the motor blazing.
Cause of the fire has not been
determined, but it is believed to
have started in the dash area. The
Hulley home is located .between
the llth and 12th concessions- of
McKillop townships, two miles
east of County Road 13.
Insulin Idea ‘,
Born in HOMO
01 Bert,Shaw
The discovery of insulin took
place in a London home, now oc-
cupied by former Seaforth resi-
dents, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Sbaw, a
time -worn copy of the London
Free Press for November 13, 1923,
reveals. The paper recently came
to Mrs. R. J. Boussey, who is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Shaw.
The then Dr. F. G. Banting had
recently addressed a meeting of
the combined London Canadian
Club and Chamber of Commerce
and had said that the idea for0h-
sulin occurred to him while he oc-
cupied the residence at the corner
of Adelaide Street and Queen's
Avenue. Hie statement resulted in
a demand that the house be mark-
ed with a stliteble tablet commem-
orating the event. The Free Press,
in a long editorial, urges that this
action be taken, and reviews Dr.
Banting's career and the'develop-
merit of insulin. The paper con-
tains a picture of the Mese
Nothing dame of the proposal,
apparently, or in any event there
is no tablet on the house today.

Decide To Try Again
Reverse Jr. 'B' Decision
Although announcement w a s
made last week that there would
definitely be no Junior 'B' hockey
this winter, another meeting was
held Monday evening and the
group decided to go ahead with a
team.
Following much discussion on
the part of those present, plans
were formulated to attempt to put
another Junior 'B' team on -the ice
for the 1957-58 season. Consider-
able delay was caused in prepar-
ing a schedule in the Western di-
vision because of the Seaforth
withdrawal and re-entry.
Seaforth will play their first
home game against London Thurs-
day, November 7, and their first
away game on November 12 at
Woodstock, according to a sche-
dule released by Jack Pearson,
league convener, New Hamburg.
Seven teams will see action in
each of the Central and Western
leagues. An entry from St. Cath-
arines has replaced the Brantford
team, which found it tough finan-
cially trying to raise enough mon-
ey to support a club for this sea-
son.
Seaforth's entry will be coached
by Ken Doig, with Jack Webb as
manager. Ken Powell will be as-
sistant manager and trainer. A

Seaforth Star
To Play
With Cornwall
A Wilber Seaforth Junior "B"
hockey player and member of
many teams in the Seaforth minor
leagues, Ronald Muir has been
signed by the Cornwall Chevies
for 1957-58. Ron is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Gordon Muir, Railway
Street.
A story carried in the Cornwall
Standard - Freeholder last week
tells of the signing of this young
hockey star.
"The Cornwall Cheviesi of the
Eastern Division of the Senior
OHA announced the signing of left
winger Ronnie Muir for the 1957-
58 season. Muir came to terms
with the Chevies last night, it was
disclosed by manager Ray Miran
today.
"Last season, Muir bagged 16
goals in his first year of senior
hockey and the Chevies are count-
ing on him to be a leading light
this coming term now he has a
year of senior hockey under his
belt.
"Ronnie, a hard - hitting 175
pounder, hails from Seaforth, Ont.,
where he played Junior B hockey.
He saw Junior A action with
Brockville in the ODHL where he
was a teammate of Ted Szydlow-
ski, the young defenceman signed
by the Chevies earlier. Last sea-
son he was a favorite of the local
fans with his hustling aggressive
plays. He can hand the checks
and is not afraid to go into the
corner with anyone.
"Ron is employed at the Power
Project and a summer of- softball
with the Power Project club in the
North End League has put him in
good condition at his regular play-
ing weight. Ron was shortstop
with the club and batted a solid
.280 with two homers.
"Ron is one of the several Chevie
players to desert bachelor ranks in
the off season and wife Barbara
is his leading rooter.
"Muir is quite happy with his
new contract and should be one
of the top performers in the loop
this season."

Flu Less Here
As SchoolsOut
hi Hensall, Zurich
While Hensall and Zurich schools
were forced to close because of
increasing flu among staff and
pupils, the indications in Seaforth
were that the flu was abating.
Seaforth District High School
attendance was almost normal on
Wednesday. Earlier there had
been about 15 per cent of the
pupils absent. Staff members had
been affected to a lesser degree.
Principal John W. Talbot, of the
Public School said Wednesday
there were 45 pupils absent, about
14 per cent. Staff members had
escaped.
About 10 per cent of the stu-
dents at St. James' School were
absent, but it was not considered
that this was unusually high for
this time of year. One teacher
was suffering from the flu.
Hensel Closed
Hensall Public School has been
closed from Monday until Thurs-
day of this week because 104
pupils out of 184 are ill with the
flu. School Principal Robert Rea -
burn said Tuesday that the school
will reopen on Thursday, provid-
ing that too many more of the
children are not stricken with the
flu. If the proportion affected con-
tinues high, the school will re-
main closed the rest of this week.

Students Star In
Prevention Week
Fire Drill
Seaforth pupils can move in a
hurry when they want to, recent
fire drills conducted at the three
local schools revealed.
At the public school, 341 pupils
cleared the school in 45 seconds.
High school pupils were a little
slower, 330 pupils taking 55 sec-
onds. The 140 pupils at the Sep-
arate school were out of the build-
ing in 40 seconds.
The tests were conducted by
Fire Chief John F. Scott, who
said that Seaforth and district
schools were found to be in good
condition from a fire hazard stand-
point. He had just completed an
examination of schools in the Sea -
forth fire area in connection with
Fire Prevention Week.
Pupils in the schools completed
a questionaire concerning the con.
dition of their homes. This was
expeded to result in improved
condithms in the homes, the Chief ,q
said.
Conditions of basements along
Seaforth Main Street were meal
improved over previous. inspee-
tions. While there continued to lie
several places where co-operation
