Children's day at the Cromarty,
Presbyterian Church last Sabbath was a
most interesting one. There were very few
absentees among the pupils and every
teacher and officer was present.There were
diplomas given to children for certain por-

young girls also recieved diplomas for
repeating the whole of the Shorter
Catechism, and each child was presented
with a Bible.
OCTOBER 8, 1937
Mr. C. L. Willis, well known Seaforth old
boy, was ably assisted by a bear cub in win-
ning his game over Dr. McNivern of Vic-
toria B. C. in the first round of the cham-
pionship flight, Totem Pole competition,
Mr. Willis drove off from the second tee
and both players noted the position of the
ball on the hilly fairway. They also noted a
young bear in a tree near the ball. On com-
ing over the brow of the hill they saw the cub
in full flight towards the hole with the ball in
his mouth. He had already covered 100'
-yards in his journey toward the green before
he was overtaken and made to disgorge the
ball. Condition of the ball, however, made it
unplayable.
• The annual field day of 'the Seaforth Col-
Highway

on Friday afternoon was marked with keen'
competition in every event.
Girlschampions were: Senior Edith
Wallace, runner up Unice Cutting, In-
termediate Clara Dolmage; runner up Alma

up Doreen Regier and Thelma' Dolmage.

OCTOBER 11, 1962
Seaforth town council moved Tuesday to
have stoplights installed at the main in-
tersection.' The move wasmade despite a
survey made some weeks ago by the
Department of Transportation at the' re-
quest of the council. The survey pointed out
that the light "cannot be .practically or
economically justified.”
•Councillor Earl Dinsmore said the survey
was "a lot of hooey" and. recommended'
council pass a by-law for traffic signals and
install the lights "on our own."
Despite wet sticky ground conditions, the
Huron County plowing match went ahead_ as
scheduled on Saturday. Paul Turnbull, of
Dashwood had the best plowed land in the
tractor classes, and Edgar Howatt in the
horse class, Mr. Turnbull won the Esso
• champion tractor special, and .Mr. Howatt
the second special from that' company.
The' match • was held on the farm of
Howard Feagan, just one mile north ' of
Benmiller.

immediately with the planning and detail
design of the next' two projects extending
easterly to Kitchener. Mr. Fulton said they
will concentrate on that project which ex-
tends the existing four lanes from Kitchener
westerly to Regional Road 12. This, he said,
will address the problems in• the Trussier
Road area.
As soon as these contract drawings are
available, contracts will be ?warded, and a
program of continous construction will be
implemented.
"Once the four laning into 'Kitchener is
completed, the only problem remaining will .
be what to do with the two lame section of
highway from Regional Road 1 to the four
lane section that was constructed in the Lit-
tle Cakes area, and what to do about a Strat-,
ford by-pass," said Mr. Fulton, adding he is
aware of the study carried out which
discussed four laning in this area.
The major problems outlined in that study
revolved around building four lanes through
Shakespeare, how to get by the church and
the cemetery, and what to do with Fryfogels
Inn, a historical monument. There was also
major opposition to either four laning the
existing highway, or the construction of a
highway on a new alignment.
However, notwithstanding the ,differing
concerns to our recent proposals, I have in-
structed my staff to carry out a complete
review and update of information pertaining
to this section of highway during the re-
mainder of this year," he said.
"I trust these actions are considered as a
major step towards addressing the traffic
problems in the Highway 7/8 corridor
westerly from Kitchener."
Fireman's- death.
• from page 1
the accident may have been avoided. '
Hazardous equipment
Still, the potential for serious problems
would' have existed in this particular in-
stance because of the equipment itself.
The tanker, a 1970 truck, was once used as
a milk truck by,the Teeswater Creamery, It
was purchased by the Brucefield Fire
Department some five years ago and refit-
ted for its use as a fire emergency vehicle.
The inquest determined that the truck was
unsuitable for this use.
Expert testimony was given by John
Woodruff of Ottawa, an engineer research
scientist with the National Research Council
of Canada.
"It was a high risk vehicle for emergency
'fire response duty," Mr. Woodruff told the
jury.
His investigation found that the truck
chassis was undersized for the tank that was
used. The vehicle had overloaded springs
and the load en the truck had a high centre
of gravity.
Mr. Woodruff reported, "The centre of
mass height is the most crucial aspect in roll
stability. The higher the mass the more
unstable the vehicle."
He suggested, "The driver virtually has
no input into the vehicle (when the roll
begins)." 1
volunteerHe fire depart -
merits in Ontario are outfitted with similar
refitted milk trucks. Two sin -Afar accidents
with tanker trucks have also been reported.
In one case, two fire fighters were killed.
It was suggested that old milk trucks are
used for fire fighting purposes as a cost effi-
cient solution. However, Mt. Woodruff
stressed, "It is iotcumbant on municipalities
to ensure that equiprnent given to fire
fighters is adequate."
He further suggested that it should be im-
perative that any commercial vehicle that is
refitted should be approved by appropriate
individuals to ensure that it complies With
load dynamics.
Mt. Fields re -iterated Mr. Weodruff's con-
cerns, noting that his research has found
sintiilar accidents with convertedmilk
trucks.
"It's'beeonning a major probl'ein es far as
I'm concerned," he noted.
He said that many fire departmeiits and
municipal coune'iis opt to refit trucks far fire
use, The cost to refit a used Vehicle runs in
the ne
ighborhood of $20,000 to $40,000. It
would coat at least $40,000 to $60,000 to built
a new tanker truck.
Mr. Fields noted more emphasis and safe-
ty pre`caiutioli's should be placed on tanker'
truetts. He said, "People say, `Why do We
have to be concerned about a truck that car-
ries water arotm'd?' Wheii you put a red light•
and a siren on such a truck, it puts it in a far
d'iff'erent Situati'on."
He further said, "Sotnetinles fire fighting
apparatus is not as special as it's thought to
be. Sometimes it's just a commercial vehi-
cle with the fire department sign on it,"
Mr. Fields said that often times, par,
titularly with fire departments in rural
areas, equipment safety is compromised.
Rural fire departments usually have one
pumper truck and one tanker. With no back-
up equipment readily available, trucks are
used even when the vehicles are not safe,
"It's a Catch-22 situation," he said.
He said that fire service has been slow in
setting standards, and suggested that the
Ontario Fire Marshal's Office work with the
14'ational Research Council to compile a set
of mandatory standards for fire 'equipment
safety.
Clare Duvalle, a vehicle inspector with
the Ministry of Transportation and Com-
munication (MTC) suggested that criteria
should be laid Out for mandatory insepction
of all fire department vehicles.
While MTC legislation calls for regular in-
spections of commercial vehicles, including
buses and dump trucks, no such rulieg is fn
place for fire trucks.
"Right now a fire departrhent could buy a
truck today and conceivably keep it for 20 or
25 years and never have it inspected," he
said.
He suggested that fire trucks should be in-
spected on a six month basis to ensure a
minimum of maintartence. lie also sug-
gested that criteria should be in place that
would ensure that refitted vehicles are ap-
propriately designed to be fire vehicles and
that the chassis is adequate to handle the
load.
Specifically speaking ter the Bru efield
Fire Departtnetit tanker truck, Mr. Duvalle
said, "My own opinon is that the centre of
gravity Was too high and there wasn't
enough baffles (for what the truck was be-
Mg used for)."
In his summation to the jury, Crown At-
torney Robert Morris said that "fire
fighting should be high priority on the list'
•when municipalities determine how money
should be spent, •
He further suggested that provincial
governiilent funding should be made
available to local municipalities to help ease
the monetary constraints of finaneing fire
departtt e1 ts.
Further recommendations from the in
quest jury call for a review of, all fire safety
documents to form the basis of one docu-
ment to be used as a mtninium guideline for
use of all tank -trucks used in fire fighting.
This doeuinent is to be distrib'ute'd to all fire
departments in Ontario.
Also reco'inmended is that provincial fun-
ding should be made available for
