Police Check Breakins Here Seaforth police are continu- ing an investigation into a breakin which occurred at Mil- ler Motors ten days ago, Thieves gained entry through a rear window of the garage and stole a quantity of cash. The breakin was discovered the following morning by Mor- ley Storey when he noticed that the cash register had been broken into. Investigation is also under- way in connection with a break- in at the B/A Station several days later, when a quantity of cigarettes were taken, accord- ing to Constable Gordon Hulley. Supports Malt Edgar Up until the day; of his re- tirement, he continued to ban-, die' daily shipments of express in and out of Seaforth. Several years ago -he gave up the tele- graph agency. Under a rearrangement of du- ties carried out by the CNR, the responsibilities_for express movements nowill be that of Ben Williams, who recently was named station agent here. Mr. Williams already handles the freight and telegraph de- partments here. "I think I'll take things a bit easier now, Mr. McKellar suggested, as he contemplated the days ahead, and in the next breath added: "I've got to get along home now. I have the raking to do." He agreed •he wouldn't mind something to occupy his time. "Not too Icing hours and not six days a week like I have been doing," he said. It was on February 15, 1908, that Mr. McKellar arrived in Seaforth from Cromarty to learn the telegraph business :from" "the late William Sommer- ville. Three years later he took over the express business as agent, and in 1921 when Mr. Sommerville retired he added the telegraph business.

Plan •Opening Cere For Community Ho5I Meeting for the first time in the new Seaforth Community Hospital, the hospital board Tuesday evening set in motion plans for ceremonies to mark the opening of the hospital, The building was occupied for the first time on Sept. 14th. While no final arrangements were completed, the meeting agreed the opening should be arranged for the latter part of November. Reports presented indicated the hospital has been filled to capacity almost since opening day. In the period since pa- tients were moved from the old hospital to the new, there have been 115 admissions. Reporting for the property committee, J. M. Scott said that the transfer of the former hospital property to Mrs. Jean Henderson had been completed. The meetirig accepted a recom- mendation of the committee to accept a tender from R. S. Box Ltd. of $662.00 for tiling in the laundry and general stores. It was also agreed to provide moveable shelving in the stores up to an amount of $500, as well as to complete arrange- ments for the installation of flower shelves in a number of the patient's rooms. While consideration had been given earlier in the year to com- pleting the paving, of the- two parking lots, the meeting agreed because ofthe lateness of the season, this work would not be proceeded with. The areas will be brought up to grade by the general contractor, and a deci- sion taken in the spring as to whether paving and additional drainage is necessary. Regional Training School Mrs, Joseph McConnell told the meeting she and Miss Drope had attended a meeting of area hospitals in Stratford, when provision of a regional nurs- ing school was considered. Un- der the proposal. a school will he erected at Stratford, but will be administered by a hoard re- presentative of participating area hospitals. Trainees in the school will gain a portion of their training at each of the area hospitals. The finance committee report was presented by John Long - staff, the committee chairman. Work is underway on prepar- ing a budget and this will be considered by the committee later this month. The meeting agreed that the budget should be realistic' in reflecting de- mands both for operating re- quirements and for • personnel in the new building. William Dennis, chairman of the building committee, refer- red to details that required to be completed in the new hos- pital. It is expected that a final • •completi n certificate would be issued it in the month. Discussing the finance situa- tion as it affected the new hos- pital, the meeting reviewed a statement indicating the over- all cost. The total cost of con - Canadian Unity Vital To Country's Future St. Joseph's Parish Hall, on the Bluewater Highway, was crowded Thursday evening, when Hon. Maurice Sauve, Min- ister of Forestry in the Pearson Government, discussed election issues. The meeting. was in support of Mait Edgar, Huron LiberaL candidate.. Mr. Sauve suggested that 10 per cent less voters would go to the polls on Nov. 8 than for the general election in 1963. He -said 40 per cent of the vot- ers were still undecided. "All we have to do is to make sure we get the members of • the Liberal party out to vote, and we will be returned with a majority • government," said Mr. Sauve. "We expect a turnout of only about 70 per cent of the voting public at the polls—this is some 10 per cent less than last time," he said. kEp GARAN, G1t dit (left), and Liberal candidate Malt Edgar, with Mrs. Edgar, greet Maurice Sauve, Canada's Minister of forestry, following a meeting in St. Joseph Thursday evening, when Mr. Sauve was the featured `speaker. (Zurich Citizens -News photo). "We have the greatest con- fidence in Ottawa that your candidate, Mait Edgar, will be with us in our majority gov- ernment after this election," said Mr. Sauve, Commenting on the "real is- sue" behindthe election, Mr. Sauve said: "It seems to me to revolve around what we expect for Canada and what can be provided in the way of secur- ity. The Liberal spokesman said the problem of security for the country fell into three cate' gories economic, social and political. Economic Security On the question of economics, he said: "The Liberal party has always been associated -with economic prosperity in Can- ada. The very fact that our economic boom will achieve a growth rate of seven to eight per cent this year illustrates this." Turning to social security, he commented: "We were able to introduce every social security measure to be known in this country culminating in our lat- est venture, the Canada Pen- sion Plan-" He emphasized that at elec- tion time every party makes promises, but it has only been the Liberal party that intro- duced such legislation. Mr. Sauve pointed out that without political security social security and economic security would be undermined. "This is a very difficult coun- try to manage," he said, "for the federal and provincial gov- ernments have to be in agree- ment because the future de- pends on co-operation. • Unity in Diversity "We must provide unity in diversity in the relationships between French-Canadians, Eng- lish -Canadians and New Cana- dians," he added. Mr. Sauve went on to claim that the Conservative party was now no longer a national party. He said: "This is one of the things I consider most danger- ous for the future of our coun- try. "I would like to see more Conservatives elected in the Province of Quebec and more Liberals elected out West. In this election we expect to have representatives elected from all provinces in_ Canada—this Mr. Diefenbaker cannot say. "How can the Conservative party maintain the unity of the country when they cannot main- tain the unity of the party?" he concluded. Huron Liberal candidate Mait Edgar told the meeting : "The winds of change are blow- ing strongly in the county be- cause the Cardiff image has now vanished." He urged all-out effort on the part of support- ers. struction, subject to certain ad- justments, is $882,774.00, and of this amount a balance of $140,274.00 remains to be paid upon completion, In addition, there is a balance of $29,132.00 on equipment. Funds or securi- ties available total $210,427.00,. A provincial loan of -$170,000.00 is outstanding. Included in this amount are outstanding pledges of $65,693.00. The meeting agreed that while generally pledges -were being paid when due, efforts should be made to clear a relatively'shall number that were in arrears. The chair- man said a meeting of the cam- paign committee had recently discussed the situation and was taking steps to bring the mat - I NEWS OF WALTON ter of arrears .to the attention of the donors. Establish Lab Miss Y. Drope, the hospital administrator, in her report in- dicated that the move to the new hospital .had been carried out satisfactorily and that stu- dy was continuing concerning personnel requirements. A lab technician had been taken on the. staff and a labora- tory was in the process of be- ing established. The technician will operate under the supervi- sion of Dr. J. L. Penistan, the pathologist at Stratford General Hospital. The new lab facili- ties will avoid the necessity of much work being sent out of the town.
