The Beavers Have Earned Recognition
It is good to know that plans are -
afoot to provide civic recognition for
the three -time Champion Seaforth Bea-
vers. A committee of council }has the
matter in hand.
The Beavers, in bringing an Ontario
Chaniyionship to Seaforth for the third
year in succession, have not only es-
tablisheda provincial record but• have
made a unique contribution to the
town. They have added distinction to
an already proud record of athletic
achievement, built up through the cen-
tury that Seaforth teams have compet-
ed in a variety of sports.
'It is fitting that their achievement
be marked. Lets make it an outstand-
ing affair in keeping with their accom-
plishment.

Long Term Benefits for Seaforth
Seafo'rth Council this week took the
first step towards 'implementing the
MacLaren report on a town -wide storm
sewer program. -•
It instructed engineers to complete
plans and to call .tenders on a sewer
connection to the Lawrence Drain that
will provide the basic- outlet for most
"of the northwest area of the. town.
The work involves nearly half a mile
Of sewer up to 30 inches in diameter at
an estimated cost of $26,.950, of which
half is recoverable by subsidy.
Realizing that the work, was costly
• and that initially a relatively small
area would be served council at the
same time wisely recognized that this
particular phase of the program was
vital. Until properly designed storm and
,sanitary sewers are installed there can
be no permanent paving, no relief
from wasteful maintenance of streets ,
and -drains en a hand to mouth basis.
Sinee sanitary sewers already were in-
stalled, this was "the logical area in
which to begin the program that ultim-
o ately will,• result in all the town being
served with maintenance free, drains
and"- roads. •
Council at,.,the same time acted to
change from deficit financing to a pol-
icy of pay as you go' with a resulting
tax increase' of some 9.5 miles. While
this may seein substantial the increase
is, by no means, out of line with that
being .experienced this year in towns
and cities across Ontario.
In addition to being an indication of
council's intention to conduct the affairs
of 'the town in a sound manner the new
tax rate is ' a recognition of increased
costs that face municipalities as well
as individuals. rt -recognizes to a degree
also, the provision of long lasting im-
provements and services which make
the difference between a town more
, than holding its own and to which
people and business are attracted and
one which is slowly deteriorating with
resulting 'decreases in property values
and assessments.
There will . be criticism of tax in-
creases. Nobody likes to pay taxes re-
gardless of the amount, But looked at
in the proper •prospective- and in terms
of what is actually involved — perhaps
five cents a day for 'the average home-
owner — there will 'be agreement that
council acted wisely and in,the best in-
terests "bf all the ratepayers.
We're ' Sorry
In discussing steps taken to aid area
tornado victims an editorial in a re-
cent issue referred to the fact that
Huron no longer had an emergency
measures organization. We were not
aware at the time that the county had
provided alternative assistance.
We learn now that the Huron High-
ways department' acting on instructions
of council and of the ;road committee,
immediately made . available heavy
equipment including °a mobile crane,.'
and bulldozer to assist in clearing.. dam-
aged areas. There was, ',of course, no
charge for the facilities and the fact
that the department's construction fore-
man Billy Joe Hallahan co-ordinated
the program .assured,.. a- sympathetic
and knowledgeable approach. Mr. Hal-
lahan was himself the victim .of simi-
lar damage a number _of- years ago
when a tornado destroyed his barn as
well as many other barns in the north
part of the county

Did you read in the papers
recently about some drug, de-
veloped by 'a - Rumanian lady
doctor' which keeps you
young? Apparently it works
wonders. Old Konrad Adenau-,
