Later in the meeting the committee talk- ed about the project to erect entrance signs in Seaforth. Two existing signs, at the north and south ends of town, are to be cleaned, repainted and have planter boxes and lights installed. An east entrance sign is being considered on Seaforth Coilununi- ty Hospitalgrounds and will look similar to the west entrance sign. Another sign, similar to the east and west signs, is be- ing considered at the main intersection of town. Peg Campbell said in an interview that situations need not become so extreme. Council and committee meetings are advertised and open to the public. "Most people don't attend and we have to do everything on our own if there's no public input," said Peg.
