Other cases have been discovered in Oxford. In all, a total of 4,170 hogs have been destroyed in Ontario and a slightly smaller number in Que- • bec, in an effort to halt the - spread of the disease. Hog cholera is a highly contagious virus, able to spread rapidly. Commenting on the possible spread of the disease and hqw it could be held in check, Dr. • ,Russell Bryans, of Seaforth Vet- erinary Clinic, said there should be great care in moving from farm to farm where hogs are located. He warned tdo against bringing in hogs unless it was known that there was no possi- bility of them having been ex- posed, • • • • • • w• • Arrange Schedule For Series Of Swim Meets First in a series of swim meets will be staged,at Seaforth Lions Park on Friday, August 3, when swim teams from Sea - forth, Goderich, Wingham and Teeswater will compete.

Main is rebuilt, widened and repaved late this year or early next year, new, sidewalks will be constructred between the exist- ing tree line and property Iine.. Decision to move the side- walks was taken at a .special meeting of council Monday night, when the plans were dis- cussed wig a representative of Huron Highways Department, who is doing. the work. Considering -relocating .the sidewalks, council learned that road construction will result in it being necessary to rebuild at three-quarters of existing walks and because of increased pavement, sidewalks if left in the present position would be narrower. Since the nem paving will result in increased traffic' flow, a narrow sidewalk adjac- ent to the roadcould- present a serious hazard to pedestrians. In addition, the difficulties of snow removal were pointed out. Councillor Dalton said he had interviewed a number • of pro- perty owners and in general had found no objections. Mayor Daly said he, too, had had the same experience.

It was im- possible to' prevent splashing if traffic ran next to the side- walks. - Councillors were concerned that trees bordering the street be protected. Recalling 'that many trdes , were old and in poor condition, .Mayor Daly re- minded council additional trees should be planted. Discussion revealed that salt was more harmful to trees than construc- tion work. No decision his been reach- ed as to the division of costs of the sidewalk construction, but discussion had indicated it was probable most- of the costs would be carried '.by the DHO, since the department was cov- ering the connecting link costs.

First step• is the purchase of a 43z -acre site on the north side of Welsh Street, from Clay- ton Dennis, Mayor Daly told coutncil Monday evening. While no decision ha been made re- garding construction of a sub- station, distribution planning in future will be based on power being obtafhed from the pro- posed station, as well as from - the existing substation on Chalk Street. Need for the new station was indicated last December when the present 'substation operated at peak capacity of 2,000 KVA for some time, according to PUC Chairman D. Sills, The station„ built in 1951, was 'ex- pectd to provide for require- ments for 20 years, but demand has been such that it has op- erated to capacity in little less than half that time. The proposed station will be served from a 26,000 volt line which runs t� the North Road. Location of the station on the lot will be such as to make available' three lots for other purposes, Mayor Daly said. He suggested that care be taken in erecting .a fence in the area, so that •the street allowance would be properly defined.

Winter Seal Windows process aluminum windows, doors and awnings and other aluminum products, which are sold through an extensive dealer organization across Canada. For the past eight years, Jackson Aluminum Ltd., of Sea - forth, have handled the com- pany's products. Jackson re- presentatives said Wednesday the move of Winter Seal to Sea4 forth' would result in sayings in transportation, as well as streamlining their supply. Speaking to The Expositor late Tuesday, Sam Moore, of Winter Seal Windows, said the move to Seaforth would com- mence in mid-August with the expectation operations could commence here September 1. While it is expected produc- tion here will involve alumin- um awnings, windows and doors, a final decision has not been made, Mr. Moore said. The company, which has been, in business in London since 1953, will continue to operate the existing plant in that city. It could be that additional pro- duction would be scheduled for Seaforth, he said, but this would not be known for some days. To Employ 10 Mr. Moore said the move to Seaforth would involve only one family. The plant manager would set up and be in charge CLARE A.

The appoint- ment was made at the 107th Communication of the Grand Masonic„ Order , of Ontario, held at Toronto last week. Winthrop Girls Lose Game In a game played in Londes- boro on Thursday, Winthrop lost to the Londesboro gird by a score of 23-12, S. Wightman and V.

For some time the factory building has been used by Tap - notch Feeds Limited . for stor- age. Garnet Stockwell, of Top- notch, said the storage aeeom- modation would now be provid- ed in the former flour mill buildirig, where renovations would be carried out. Established by the late W. J. Duncan, the factory served Seaforth Shoes until construc- tion of a new plant on West William Street three years ago. At the time the. town purchas- e building. ouncil at its' July meeting approved listing • the factory with Joseph McConnell, local real estate agent. Early last week Mr. McCoq-, nell 'had obtained an offer to purchase at $7,000 from the Conn,- interests, and at a spe- cial meeting Monday evening - council accepted the offer sub- ject to certain facilities being in working order. Checks' on Tuesday revealed no difficulties existed, and the offer was formally accepted, Clerk' Lyle Hammond said. Announce Terms $a Terms of the sale provide a deposit of $500 and a further $500' on closing. The balance of $6,000 is secured by a mort- gage with principal payable at $600 a• year, and with interest at 5 per cent. In addition, an- nual- taxes amount to approxi- mately $700. The offer also provided that ' the building be clean inside and that .furnace and boiler,„ toilets, sprinklers and elevator - were in working condition. Concerned that ensuring fa- cilities were in working order could be costly, council hesi- tated in making a decision. Mayor Daly left council and contacted D. Sills of Sills Hard- ware, who he said had install: ed much of the equipment. Mr. Sills assured him that there was little doubt everything was' in working order. Later. he attended the meeting a Rd agreed to make necessary physi- cal checks the following day. He estimated cost of replacing burners, motors and pumps, which hld' 'been ' removed for safekeep g and provision of certain valves and washers at not more than $200. Mr. Sills said the plant is served by a six-inch and a two- inch water line, and three years ago a valve in the smaller line had cracked and had not been replaced. It was at this time the burners and pumps had been removed so• there would be no damage in event of flood- ing. Council accepted the offer subject to a physical check by Mr. Sills confirming that cost of each gained a homer for the repairs and replacements would losers Lena Dougherty was the not exceed $200. winning pitcher, and William- son the loser, with relief from Buchanan. The second game. played in Winthrop on Tuesday, Brussels downed, Winthrop 23=13. Win- throp Wingers took an early lead in the game, but Brussels came back too strong for Win- throp to overtake them. For Brussels, D. Machan and D. Engle led, with Machan a triple, two doubles and single, and Engle with two triples, double and two singles. Irene Johnston gained a double and three sin- gles for the loser. G, Machan was the winning pitcher, and B. Buchanan, the loser. Winthrop plays host to.
