Have Nomination A Grey Township termer will carry the banner in the federal riding of Huron for the New Democratic party in the forth- coming November 8th election. J. Carl Hemingway, Brussels, former secretary-fieldman with the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, was named • Thursday night at the nominat- ing convention held in the audi- torium of the Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton. His name was the only one present- ed at the meeting, attended by 75 persons, and chaired. by Her- bert Klopp, Zurich. The nomina- tion was moved by the Rev. John C. Boyne, a Presbyterian minister from Exeter, and sec- onded by an Ashfield Township farmer. Warren Zinn. . • - For the 55 -year-old candidate, this will be his second try in a federal election. In 1962 he • was defeated by Elston Cardiff, Brussels, who carried the •Pro- gressive Conservative party to victory. In that election two other candidates were also in the running: Ernest. Fisher, Goderich, the Liberal candi- • date, and Earl Douglas, London, Social Credit candidate. Mr. Hemingway will run against Maitland Edgar, Clin- ton, Liberal candidate, and R. E. "Bob" McKinley, Zurich, Conservative. The seat was held in the last parliament by • Conservative L. E. Cardiff, who recently resigned. • Donald C. MatDonald, M.P.P., Ontario New Democratic Lead- er, in addressirig the nomina- tion convention, claimed that "the people in Canada are very disillusioned, disappointed and disgusted with politics". "This is an historic' election, for the people of Canada are coming face to face that they do not have to choose between the lesser of two evils," he said in attacking both the Liberal and the Conservative parties. • Mr. MacDonald stated that the real issue in the nation for the past 10 to 15 years • has been for a good political leader that "can give the coun- try a sense of direction and purpose insteacD•of the fumb- ling and the 'bumbling' that has been going on in the House of Commons". The speaker accused both parties of being, unsympathetic totthe farmer. While he failed to name FAME (Farmers Allied Meat Enterprise), he referred to the certain farm organiza- tion, made up 'of some 13,000 farmers, many of whom put their entire life •savings into it. "When the organization got into financial difficulty, the on- ly goverriinent assistance it re- ceived was a Royal Commission to dig out the dirt." Timniins area •farmers had to literally scream before their complete losses of crop, due to rain, were noticed. He suggested that a program be established similar to the United States, whereas ,after the matter is studied, that such area be declared disaster area. Mr. MacDonald said that the Bladen Report on Financing News of Week in $6,000 In Awards At SDHS Scott Memorial scholarships, totalling $6,000, have been awarded SDHS students, who this year have begun Studies at Ontario universities. The list of winners, released by SDHS Principal L. P. plum - steel, includes: Mary Buchanan, RR 1, Londesboro, at Waterloo University; Gerald Van Den Hengel, RR 5, Seaforth, at Wa- terloo; Allan Patterson, Sea - forth, at Waterloo; Darrelr Schneider, Seaforth, at Water- loo; Tony Visser, RR 1, Dublin, at Waterloo; Jim MacRae, Dub- lin, at Waterloo; Barbara Hol- land, Seaforth, at Western On- tario; Torben Haarbye, RR 2, Seaforth, at Western Ontario; Amy Stewart, RR 5, Seaforth,- at Western Ontario; Peter Sil- lery, Seaforth, at Western On- tario; Julie Hoover, Seaforth, at Waterloo Lutheran; Kim Mc- Lean, Seaforth, at Waterloo Lutheran. Higher Education in Canada documents ,in unanswerable terms the gross inadequacies of assistance to higher education in Canada. The Bladen propos- al, he continued, represents less than half as much assistance from the federal government to build universities as it did to build technical schools. "It is not enough," he said. Provide Scholarships Further attacking the report, the party leader said that "it is disturbing to learn that the re - pert has recommended that tui- tion fees for university should be retained." He added that as a result, the dollar sign will remain on higher educational opportunities, and deserving children from families of mod- est means will simply be un- able to go to university. The Canada Scholarship plan- ned, as announced two days before the Clinton meeting, promises, said the NDP leader, to provide assistance to over 10,000 students, when we know that the student population will be over 200,000 by 1970. SDHS Students Seek Subscription Awards Students at SDHS are under- way. with their annual subscrip- tion'campaign. The students this year are competing for three modern transistor radios, which are offered by The Huron Ex- positor to the individuals ob- taining the greatest number of new subscriptions and renewals to The Expositor. In addition, each subscription obtained earns a cash commission for the school. Last year the school fund re- ceived nearly $300.00, repres- enting commission paid on Ex- positor subscriptions which the students had .sold, The students in their canvass Walton Walton The Autumn Thankoffering in conjunction with the regu- lar October meeting of the Walton UCW was held Wed- nesday, in the church base- ment.

The offering was received and dedicated with Church offer a wide variety of maga- zine subscriptions, as well as new and renewal subscriptions to The Expositor. The campaign provides the student body with funds with which to carry on various extra curricular activities, as well as making possible the purchase of athletic, musical and other equipment which is not provid- ed from public funds. In co-operating with t h e SDHS students who calls to of- fer anew or renewal subscrip- tion to The Expositor, or to a magazine, the public can be assured that a worthwhile school activity is being aided. Adva7Sewer .Query $eaforth .Assessment • $e4orth assessment showed an (overall gain of $28,263 in 1965, town assessor Donald Haines told council Monday eve- ning._ During the year there was a slight drop in population„ from 2,278 to 2,249. . Noting that while the aSSess- , merit had increased, the popu- lation decreased, Mr. Haines suggested that Huron needs a shot in the arm in someway. Answering a query from council, he said that with the exception of Goderich, where there was a slight increase in Population, he understood that the Seaforth situation was con- sistent with other towns. Reviewing his method of as- sessing, he said the population count: as well, as the check of buildings, was done on a house- to-house basis. The results were accurate, with the excep- tion of changes that occurred during the actual period of the assessment where people had The Bruce Scott Memorial scholarships were created as a result of a bequest of Mr. Scott, who died in 1951. The ffrst. seholarship, valued at $500.00, was awarded in 1952 and since that time a total of 55 scholarships, each in a. like amount, have been awarded graduates of SDHS. With the awards this year the total dis- tributed amounts to $33,500.00. In addition, the bequest pro- vided for provisions of books to the SDHS library, and in the - period a total of $5,619.00 has been used for this purpose. .Tom Sills S.C.Is Candidate., 4 well-known Seaforth native is a candidate in the Federal election and is running against Davie Fulton, in Kamloops, B.C.

He said that sometimes it was impossible to qnd people home and in these cases he inquired of neighbors. He pointed out to -be 100 per cent accurate would necessitate visiting every home in the town on the same day, which was impossible. Referring to complaints that despite not haying visited the home, the assessment had been If Seaforth is to continue to pick up and hold stray dogs, improved accommodation must be provided. The protection' to persons committee has been in- vestigating complaints raised by the Humane Society, -who has told the town that the dog accommodation. .must in- clude 10 square feet per pen per dog, together with 200 square feet of running area. The floor of the building must be impervious to moisture, and there must be adequate drain- age. The building mustbe heat- ed and ventilated and be ver - iii n proof, The committee, which had been discussing the matter, had looked at several possible buildings in town with the :thought they could be' moved raised, he said improvements can be seen on the outside, such as new siding; or the changes could have been detailed in a building permit. There had been increases in certain cases of vacant lots to bring the as- sessment values in line with other assessment. This had counted for the net increase in the land total. Reviewing the changes in de- tail, Mr. Haines said that at the beginning of the year it looked and rebuilt, but Deputy Reeve' Wilmer Cuthill. the chairman, aid that no conclusions had been reached, and asked that it be permitted to study the matter further. Reeve Dalton said that it was his understanding that dogs which had been picked up at Clinton and in Tuckersmith were held in the Seaforth pound and suggested talks be held .with the other municipalities. with the thought that a com- mon pound might be provided, or that if Seaforth did make necessary provisions, the other municipalities would be inter- ested in entering into an ar- rangement for common use., • Councillor Kling, a member of the committee, agreed and said the committee had hesi- tated in making a firm decision without further investigation. He wanted to see what other places were doing, and also there should be discussions re- garding a firm contract with the dog catcher to know that there would be continuity in the use of the facilities. He could see substantial expenditure involv- ed in providing the facilities. Referring to police duties, the committee chairman said that discussions had been held with the chief constable at a (Continued on Page 6) HON.

The members included Sharon McDonald, Lorraine Huard,' Barbara Hubert and Patricia Etue, and they were present at the ,council meeting to see how. •I town affairs were conducted. As he began his report, Mr. Haines explained for the bene- fit of the group, the procedures followed in assessing, and de- scribed the classes of tlie ex- emptions such as churches and' certain public buildings, and: how in the case of the federal government, the lack -of asseu, ment was compensated by a' grant which the government paid to the town. As the meeting moved into other business, Mayor Flannery said it -had been hoped to have the discussion with the town auditors regarding PUC matters at this meeting, as had been planned earlier during the sum- mer, but it had been necessary to postpone the discussion Until the November meeting. As a result, payment of PUC ac- counts covering sewer billings were withheld.
