Council Has Served •Well
• Seaforth ratepayers on Monday eve-
ning face the responsibility of deciding
on those of their nurnber who will rep-
resent them in municipal matters dur-
ing 1968.
Mdst area municipalities will nomin-
ate during the next week or so and un -
there is a change from previous
years there will be little interest in
what happens. Unfortunately too few
of us recognize any responsibility con-
cerning the way in which our commun-
ity is operated. We content ourselves
with a few random phonecalls of com-
plaint to the mayor or reeve or a mem-
ber of council when a drain is plugged
or a stray 4og wanders across our
lawn or sone other matter arises that
displeases us and about,which we want
.some action — now. •
Fortunately in Seaforth we have had
the benefit of a council that; in ' the
year it has been in office, has made
major contributions in a number of
areas tothe progress of the communi
Under the forward looking 'lead
ship 3f Mayor Frank Kling and coupl-
ed with the' conscientious devotion to
the town's affairs which has charac-
terxzed each of the members, progress
has been made across a wide front.
Most ost important •perhaps in terms of
thetefuture of the town was the decision
to have..the community established as
a"'planning area and to initiate neces-
sary steps leading to the creation of
an official plan. Equally important
were the decisions concerning long
term programs for storm and sanitary .
sewers. Engineering studies are under -
which, . in the past, Seaforth has not
bothered. • All in all it has been a coun-
. cil which has gone about..the affairs of
the town in a quiet' business -like way.
While much hasbeen ac ornplished,b
equally important tasks lie akead in the
necessity of establishing on a firm
basis the programs instituted this year.
It is fortunate that most of the mem-
bers of council have' indicated a willing:
ness to carry on for another term.
These members have earned" and de-
serve the full support of -the citizens
they have served's° well.
Nasty Practise
"What can be, done about this pig -
like practice which is befouling both -
town and country alike?" asks the Oril-
lia Packet and Times in a recent editor-
,ial. Controls over packaging materials
is one possibility, but hardly feasible;
tighter supervision and stiffer penal-
ties for litterbugs would certainlyseem
more workable.
But perhaps the• best approach is in-
dicated by one significant fact; the
worst litterbugs, by a big margin, are
children and adolescents, particularly
the latter. Mostly this is because the
teenager consumes more than an aver-
age amount of beverages in bottles and
cans, candy and confections in wrap-
pers, cigarettes in boxes- and foil and
tissue by the ton. He is also by inclina-
tion likely to be heedless and untidy in
his- habits, making , him undisputed -
way -which will permit the town to take king of the litterbugs.
