Mr. Doig said although he did not playas well on Friday as he thought he Should 1>e felt he would have won the semi- finals against Neale if Neale had played as poorly against him as he did in the finals against Marty Mason, Toronto, who Won the tournament. He said he enjoyed match play, where each hole ,counts, rather than the total score, but he added a funny thing about it is a person can play a bad round and win or play a good round and lose. Mr. Doig, who plays in most tournaments in the area, said his fourth round, when he de- feated Doug Robertson, Tren- ton, was his best round. He had 10 pars and four birdies to win 5 and 4. In the qualifying round, he shot 72 which was well under the cut off limit of 78. On Wed- nesday, he defeated Bob La - Ronde, North Bay, 4 and 3, in the opening round of match play. In the seeond round, it took him an extra hole to win over Gar Hamilton, Jr., Weston. He had a one -hole lead going into the -eighteenth but had a bogie five on the final hole, which brought about the play- off. Thursday, he won over George Stokes, Niagara Falls and then beat. Robertson to qualify for the semi-final against Neale who earlier had upset six -time winner Nick Weslock of Port Credit. Weslo'ck'.was‘ the pre= tourney favorite and had shot 68' in the qualifying round. Doig said he intends to enter the. Ontario Amateur again next year.

S. W. Archibald, township en- gineer, who designed the Broad. foot Drain . project was present for the' discussion. Reeve Elgin Thompson had each of the delegates talk sep- arately to Mr. Archibald who attempted to explain why their rate had been arrived at. When one of the delegates still did not agree with the engineer's ruling, Mr. Archibald, told him he should appeal at the court of revision and in his appeal he should state why he feels his assessment is too high and whose is too low. Reeve Thomp- son disagreed with this saying if someone suggested his neigh- bor's assessment was too low, he certainly wouldn't have good neighbors. Council adjourned to a room off the main council chamber where they held a private meet- ing for 15 minutes. They called in one of the delegates to talk to him privately. Before the ' delegation left, council set • the court of revi- sion on the drain for Sept. 6th. The reeve , told the delegates each of the council members had taken an oath and would do what he `thinks is right. The discussion continued on after the delegation departed with council expressing the opinion one person had been overassessed. Councillor Alex McGregor said he would' be willing to .rake• changes in the assessment at the court of re- vision if they could get Mr. 'Archibald to back them up^ if a ratepayer took them to court. Reeve -Thompson said they would make the necessary changes and take their chances -on someone taking them to •court. - Other, drains didn't provide as many problems for council at the meeting. The courts of revision oil the Coyne and Viv- ian Drain had no appeals. Convention Expenses Councillor McGregor said 'he felt any township employee planning ' to attend a conden- tion should request council to ask for expenses in advance rather than request money af- ter returning from the conven- tion. He said he felt it was worthwhile to attend these con- ventions. Councillor Ross Forrest said he felt anyone who showed enough interest in his job to. want to attend conventions should be allowed to ' go at council's expense. He added council should expect a report from anyone who does attend a convention. 'Council decided to take no action on the situation of con- vention expenses. They decided to leave it up to the council next. year whether they would pass a motion making it com- pulsory to request expenses' be- fore attending a convention. Welfare Money In other business; Clerk James- McIntosh told council they had to pay welfare for a man in Toronto who formerly lived in Tuckersmith because council had ignored an earlier letter from. Toronto. The 'law on the matter says if a letter is not answered then the council who failed to answer assume responsibility. Mr. McIntosh NEWS OF BRODHAGEN _ said the council could be forced to pay welfare charges to the man for two years. He added the man was taking a job re- training program and probably would be off welfare in a short time. Council decided they were not interested inhaving lights installed at the crossing at lots 25 and 26 because they felt they would be too expensive. rain Drainage 1.oan4 Council took action on five tile drainage loans. They -gave three of -them final reading -and provisionally passed two other loans. Loans of $1,200 to John H. Cooper, $1,900, to Alex Town- send, and $3,000 to Malcolm. Davidson were passed. The ap- plications provisionally passed were for $1,500 to Ken MacKay and $1,000. to Harold Parker.

Mr. $tefaniuk was in town re- cently and took a tour of the area While here for the clinic next week, he will aid the Horsburgh Visits Seaforth_ Rev. Russell D. Horsburgh, who was in this area recently, said one of .the reasons he came to Seaforth and other area towns was to try 'to break down at the Iocal level the dis- torted image that has been crea- ted by the' sensational publici- ty he has received. Mr. Horsburgh was fot.nd guilty in Nov., 1964,' of contri- buting to juvenile • delinquency at .Park Street United 'Church, Chatham, where ,he was the pastor: In October, 1965, he lest an appeal before three judges of the, Ontario Supreme Court in Toronto. The decision was 2-1 • against him and Mr, Horsburgh said the split vote of the judges enabled him tti ap- peal' to p- peal'to the Supreme Court of Canada this fall. He is confident of winning the appeal but said he will have. to do more to regain his reputation and honor. He said •an understanding of the case was necessary and thus he was urging people to read the book "The Horsburgh Affair —• Dis- ciple" or DeViate" by Rev. Ron- , ald C., Smeaton. Mr. liorshiurgh felt the hook tells his side of the story which up to this point had not been told, He added the book has re- ceived good reviews 'including one in the Osgoode Hall Law ,Tournal. The minister currently is , writing three books himself. Ile hopes the royalties from the books will help to pay the $18,000 debt that has been in- murred for legal fees. Chamber in an assessment -of their current operations: In or- der to help him in his study, Mr. Stefaniuk has instructed local Chamber officials to pro- vide him with documents such as 'their constitution, program of work, minutes of meetings and membership list. Robert Read, president of the Seaforth Chamber, said he hopes th6, citizens will give a few minutes of. their time to talk to Mr. Stefaniuk and' make this one of the best clinics he has conducted. Mr. 'Read also said all interested persons are in- vited to attend Tuesday night's meeting. - Area W and Performs in USA - Six area bands which had combined together to form one band performed in the United -States on the weekend.
