ed business the council could
hold another meeting to deal
only with the unfinished bust'
nese. Councillor _Donaldson felt
the meetings ran too tong be!
cause there is a tehdancy for
each member to become side-
tracked during the meeting. He
'said, "We should try to stick
to the business at hand,"
Councillor Betty Cardno felt
the. Iong meeting were partly
the fault of committees who did
not complete their work before
presenting it to the full council.
She also said if one council
member distracts from the line
of business,then possibly ev-
eryone else should put up their
hand's.
Mayor John Flannery said he
would stress spending more
time at committee meetings
rather than holding another
council meeting each month.
He felt the meetings would not
take so long if other members
were quiet when reports are
being given.

Crackdo
Council told a four -lean dele-
gation of Jaiues St. residents
they would instruct police to
vet up radar equipment on
Janes St. in an attempt to get
motorists to drive more slowly
on the street which runs east
and west one block north, of
Goderich St.
Wilmer Kelly who headed the
delegation said the • street is
not safe for children because
of the excessive speed of mot-
orists who use the street. "It's
responsible citizens who are
speeding not just teenagers,"
he said.
He suggested to council pos-
sibly a stop. sign could be erect-
ed at one of the corners. At
present, the street has no stop
signs.
- It was, pointed out to Mr.
Kellyea stop sign would not,•, be
legal if council did not. obtain
permission of the Department
of Highways to erect it.

Look For Solution
To Dump Problem
Mayor John Flannery suggest-
ed at Monday night's council
meeting that council consider
hiring a man to work ,pant -time
at the town dump.
Mayor , Flannery saidw
many
persons just throw their gar-
bage around the dump area
rather than going right to the
dump. He sat& it is impossible
for anyone on council to watch
the dump bidif they hired a
man he could.watch people who
throw garbage around. This
man;Could also burn some gar-
bage.
The mayor said there was one
person who took iron from the
dump and put it on other
people's property and then
would pick it up later. He sug-
gested the council could pos-
sibly put an advertisement in
Efforts Pay Dividends
As LOL Burns Mortgage
rhe burning of the mortgage
and the honoring • of Borden
Brown, former secretary-trea-
surer, were two highlights at a
joint meeting of the men's and
women's lodges of the Orange
organization of Seaforth at the
Orange Halle Thursday evening.
Oliver Jacques, grand master
of the. Grand Black Chapter of
Ontario West, conducted the
burning of the mortgage cere-
mony. He praised both organi-
zations for their hard work to
clear the debt on -their common
meeting place. ,
Prior to the burning cere-
mony, Mr. Brown gave a history
of how the Orange Lodge came
into possession of the hall. He
said in Feb., .1956 there was "a
rumor that the Salvation Army
citadel ivas for sale. Atthe
same time, the Orange Lodge
had to"vacate the McConnell
block where they had held their
meetings. They made - an in-
quiry to the Salvation Army and
learned the Army would rather
sell to them than the other
groups who hadinquired about
the hall.
Mr. Brown saidmoney was
the stumbling block. However,
they -raised enough for the
down payment by selling $10
nates to the members. They
took possession ie June, 1957
and were never late with one
payment. Mr. Brown said the
apartment at the back of the
hall which they rent and the
suppers which the ladies' lodge
held- were the lifeline to the
payments.
Mr: Brown, who is moving to
Hanover, was presented with a
silver tray by the lodge in ap-
predation of the work he did.
Ken Holmes; master of the
men's lodge, LOL 783, made the
presentation. Mrs. John ()Wield
mistress of the women's lodge,
LOBA 712, presented ' Mrs.
Brown with gifts for herself
and her two daughters.
President, Mrs. John Van. Eg-
mond, who was chairman for
the meeting, conducted the el-
ection of officers for the com•
ing. year. Mrs. Evert Smith was
elected president and Mr. John
Oldfield, secretary -treasurer, •
Norma Garrett provided en=
t.ertainm'ent by doing a step'
dance, accompanied by Mrs. Van
Egmond on, the piano. A pot
luck supper was served follow-
ing the meeting. -

the newspaper asking people to
co-operate and take their gar-
bage right to the dump. He also
said a sign should be erected
stating that no children are al-
lowed in the dump,
Mayor Flannery added that
local and provincial police feel
sctinething - should be done re-
garding the situation' but they
can take no action unless a by-
law is passed.
Councillor George Hildebrand
asked .if something could be
done similar to what Tucker -
smith _ .township did. Tucker-
1smith have gates at the dump
land only open it to the general
public two -days of the week.
The mayor did not feel this
system would work too well
!and- expressed the opinion that
many persons would just duinp
their garbage outside the gate.
Councillor Brian Flannigan'
told council they should. look
ahead to the day when the town
will need a town dump truck
and will have a town collection
of garbage.
Councillor Hildebrand said it
surprised him to learn that one-
half of the people in town don't
have their garbage picked up -
by -the private firm which of-
fers this service for 25c a week.
He added he couldn't drive to
the dump that cheaply.
Council left the matter of the
dump to the Committee on
'Public Works and Sanitation
who will consider the situation
at their next meeting.
