erhood night held Thursday in
the auditorium of the Seaforth
Community Centre and sponsor-
ed this year by the Foresters of
Constance.
Mr. Hatton, introduced by
Erid Anderson, congratulated
the various organizations on be-
ing presdnt for the occasion.
He stressed the point of his
topic "Attitude" as a means to
better understanding of one an-
other wherever life takes us.
To promote better understand-
ing, better. attltudes are the -
goals sought thrqughout the
year and which is encouraged
by Brotherhood Week all across
the country.

The second area he referred
to was the new Canadian. There
are over a million homeless.
These people have come to make
a hame here and we should
welcome them. It is wonderful
he said, to hear so many dif-
ferent tongues, and Canada can
be made a more significant na-

Municipal
Problems
Problems facing local munici-

of centraliption, ' rising costs
and a lessoning in. responsibili-
ty were discussed by Seaforth
Town Clerk Ernest Williams at
a meeting of the Seaforth Lions
Club in the Commercial Hotel,
Monday evening.
• Mr. Williams reviewed the
members of the Huron -Perth
municipal government and the
trend in recent years of an in-
creasing intrusion by the prov-
ince. This has come about, he
said, ,by the increase in assis-
tance which the province is giv-
ing by way of qualified grants.
There is a continuing demand
for increases in, administrative
staff i 'which, he said are made

mers Co-operative Tuesday
, night following the annual meet-
ing in Egmondville United
Church. He succeeds Warden
Haney. •
Wilfred' Coleman was named
..vice-president and Donald Dodds
was re-elected as secretary.
Earl McSpadden was elected
as director. ;
Approximately 100 were on
hand to hear Douglas Jamieson,
• guest speaker for the occasion.

ities and accomplishments of
the. new Centralia College of

• were Bill Dyell, U00 area man-
ager, who conducted; the elec-
tion and gave the finaneial re-
port and Robert McKercher,
UCO first Nice -president who
also gave reports.
In his report on behalf of
the directors, retiring president
W. E: Haney paid tribute to
the excellent» work being done
by manager Gordon Elliott who
had been in charge dUringAbe
.past year. He said that Ile
c011ections continued to be a
problem, sales had increased by
some $30,000.00 to $430,231.00.
mittee secretary, Mrs. Roy Bur-

now it was not known the
amount that would be available
for distribution. Distribution
procedure and other details in
connection with the assistance
payments will be discussed at
a meeting expeeted to be held
sometime next weeic. About 50
area property owners were in-
volved in the damage.
Lloyd Humphry, manager of
the Dublin branch of the Bank
of Commerce, who has been
treasurer of the fund, recently
was moved to the Palmerston
branch of the bank. However,
it was suggested that he would
continue to act as treasurer un-
til the distribution was complet-
ed.
Many factors will enter into
any decisions made, concerning
the distribution, In some eases
there is no intention of replac-
ing buildings. In other cases
buildings damaged were al-
ready in poor repair and the
storm served only to speed up
the deterioration.
The day following the torna-
do the extent of the damage
was drawn to the attention of
the legislature by Huron MPP
Charles 14aeNaughton and Hur-
on-Bruee MPP Murray Gaunt.

Food, William A. Stewart, after
expressing sympathy to those
who suffered demage, said the
province would match dollar
