Clear Debentures for
Two Township Schools
Tuckersmith council, meeting
in Seaforth Town Hall Tuesday
evening, approved the town-
ship's share of a debenture is-
sue totalling $650,000,., to pro-
vide for the construction of a
joint school on No. `4 Highway
in Stanley .Township. Discus-
sions concerning the school have
been underway since the be-
ginning of, the year when re-
commendations of the school
inspection /Staff were accepted
by, the township board and ar-
rangehtents completed to es-'

Wins
K of C
Prize
Miss K. Laverty, 120 (Ontario
St., Stratford, won the '$1,00I0
first prize at the annual Knights
of Columbus draw held at St.
Marys Friday evening, with
proceeds going to the :support
of Scarboro Foreign Missions.
Second prize went to A. An-
derson, of Ingersoll, while third
prize went - to Joan Ryan, St,
Columba n
Preceding the draw, a large-
ly attended dance was held in
the auditorium of St. Marys
arena„ The annual affair was
jointly sponsored by the Father
Stephen. Eckert Council, Sea -
forth; Father Nagle Council,
Goderich, and Kilroy Vermeil,
Stratford, of the Knights of
Columbus of District 81..
The cost to the township will,
be slightly less than half the
total debenture issue, since the
assessment of the two town-
ships is about equal. Tucker -
smith clerk J. L McIntosh said
the township's share could be
about $`300,000,00.
De ision to approve the de-
benture issue followed a visit•
to council by Reeve Ernest Tal-
bot, of Stanley. Reeve, Talbot
told . •council that the ,joint
sc'h'ool board - had approached
Stanley Township the previous
day and had asked that Stanley
approve its share of the deben-
ture issue, and Stanley had
done this. It was suggested that
Stanley, in turn; ask Tucker -
smith to take similar action.
Discussion reVeaJed ttbat
was hoped that conkructim
could get underway so as to
permit use of the school at
the opening of. the 1966 fall
term.
Close Present Schools
When the new school is
brought into use, existing
schools throughout Tuckersmith
and Stanley will be closed. Dis
cussion of the proposal which
has extended throughout the
year, centred about the, fact
that pupils in Egmondville and
Harpurhey, on the borders of
Seaforth, will then be required
to travel up to 20 miles a day
in order to attend school. The
village of Bayfield has opposed
the closing of the present Bay-
field' school.

Plowmen
Practice
For Match
A shortage of equipment for
high school competitors could
be an obstacle to the Huron
County Plowing Match, being
held near Belgrave on Satur-
day.
"The biggest difficulty will be
in obtaining sufficient plowing
outfits for the boys," said Gor-
don McGavin, RR 2, Walton, a
director of the Huron County
Plowmen's Association.
Because of the lateness of
the season, many fathers will
be using their tractors to bring
in the fall crops, said Mr. Mc -
Gavin.
Last Saturday 50 boys from-,
each of Huron County's five
secondary schools attended
coaching classes on plowing di-
rected by Fred Ford, of Hagers-
ville, on Mr. McGavin's farm.
Each school is entering a
team in Saturday's competition,
which is being held on the farm
of Simon Hallahan, RR 2, Bel -
grave, starting at 10 a.m. The
competition will determine Hur-
on's entry in the International

that an application had been
accepted to have a booth at
the plowing match in 1966 with
the different institutes in
charge. Mrs, Wallace explained
how she had started inquiring
about the building of the booth
and that a buyer would have
to be found to buy it after be-
ing used. The receipts from the
booth are to be divided equal-
ly between the three districts.
A bus from Seaforth is go-
ing to the plowing match at

frigerators and disposal units,
etc; South Huron: dishes, cook-
ing equipment, cutlery, etc;

low Oct. 19, at 2 p.m., to look
into the display of hobby craft
at the plowing match.

of the marketing and merchan-
dizing -of agricultural food pro-
ducts through the formation of

rious groups concerted. Mrs.
Bride is head of the Consumer

portance of buying local pro-
duce and that the local pro-
ducts have -to be as good as
the imported ones. After the
first of January a slice of bacon
will be shown on bacon carton

it. An interesting film, may be
procured from National Film

omy as a basic industry in the

Mrs. Barry said she always
had a feeling of warmth for
institute groups. Last' year,
1,242 people were in traffic ac-
cidents on the highways. Wo-
men drivers are considered
more safety conscious than men.
Teach young children traffic
safety and each family teach
their own children. Bicycles
are another problem. Many par-
ents teach the rules and just
let their children go out into
traffic without any further ex-
perience.
Driver education is being
taught in the high schools. De-
merit point system has lessen-
ed accidents by making reck-
less drivers more cautious. A
film entitled, "Emergencies in
the Making, was shown, bring-
ing out points to remember: (1)

ture; (5) Us. Various questions
were discussed on traffic rules,

the highest level in many years.
If C. M. Jutras, manager of the
National Employment Office,
stated that the number of ap-
plicants registered for employ-,
ment in Huron County at the
end of September, 1965, was the
lowest ever -134, as compared
' with 202 registered applicants
in September, 1964,
Increased employment oppor-
tunities resulted from continued
high production levels being
maintained in most local and
area firms. Seasonal industries
including construction. farming
and canning were also greatly
responsible for this increase.
While labor- requirements
were generally met. the demand
for all types of workers often
exceeded the supply.
Placements by the Goderich

tember 1965, compared to 149
for the same period a year ago.
