Seaforth Native Has 92 Birthday John Hanna, Stvift Current, - Sask., will celebrate his 92nd birthday on August 23. A na- tive of Seaforth, he left this district in 1907 and settled in Yellow Grass, Sask. Three years later he moved to the Van- guard district in ,Saskatchewan, where he continued to reside until his retirement several years ago to. Swift Current. While it is more than fifty years since he left Seaforth, he retains a keen interest in this district where he spent his youth: • ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING examples of community enterprise in the Huron -Perth area is the Brodhagen Com- munity Hall. Built through the co-operation of the citizens of the Brodhagen district, the hall now represents an invest- ment Of many thousands of dollars. While the men have never hesitated when there was work to be done, the women no les have contributed their share. Typical of how they help, is this group which catered for a recent reception.

SDHS Students Learn Results Long weeks of waiting came to an end Tuesday when Grade 13 students at SDHS received the results of the exams they wrote in June. The papers written here were among the 195,000 Upper School papers written by students across the province. C. A. Brown, registrar for the De- partment of Education, said there were 20,000 more papers written this year than in 1961, and about 90,000 more than five years ago. Mr. rown said this could •be attributed to the con- sistent growth of Ontario's school population. New marking systems, such as multiple choice questions; have helped the department maintain a mid-August dead- line for',results despite the heayieer wo-rk However English composition papers, on which each student must write an essay, are some- thing of a stumbling block. There was some shortage of markers as high school teach- ers are taking summer courses. It appears, said Mr. Brown, that some new method will be needed for assessing students' abilities with their native tongue. Nelson 11—Eng C. 65; Hist, 73; Geon'( 68; Trig. 73; Phys. 63.

Sod has been broken for a new building to provide accom- modation for Boyes' Farm Sup- ply. Located on the Mill Road, a short distance west of Eg- mondville, the 40x85 steel -clad building will be ready for oc- cupancy October 15. Alex Boyes, who established the business March 1, 1956, said the move to new and larger premises became necessary in order to properly .serve his cus- tomers. The firm has been lo- ceted in the Seaforth Motors building, with the repair shop located in a separate building at the corner of North Main and James Streets, "We had to have more room for equipment, display and for patking, and . there just wasn't room to expand," Mr. Boyes said. "At our new location there will be lots of display area, and we will be able to provide much better service." The new building will include office accommodation, a parts department and a large reetair department. It is located on a five -acre lot, just west of the Moore . poultry building. - The structure is being erected by John Nagle, of Dublin.

Seaforth went scoreless inthe fifth frame, despite the double collected by Bob Papple, In the sixth- stanza the Seaforth team 'got the range and con- nected for four. hits, to shove three runs across the plate.

Reversing the atand it took a month ago, Seaforth council Mondey night agreed to amend the parking meter bylaw to peo- vide for two-hour parking. The parking limit establish- ed when meters were installed three months ago is one houre and merchants and area farm- ers have protested the period as being net long enough for the average shopping trip. A delegation, representing t he Merchants' Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, met council at the July meeting and urged the limit be extended, but council at that time took the stand that the meters had not been in operation sufficient- ly long 'to provide.a fair trial of the existing regulations. Raising the matter again un- der the heading of neer busi- ness, Councillor Neil Bell said he had discussions with many A NEW L.

Stand- ing on tip -toes, he reached around in the barrel, drew out a ticket and handed it to the master of ceremonies, Bob Spit- tal. It was No. 5496, and on it was the name of Diann Dal- ton. With just , under a thou- sand tickets to choose, he had picked the one ticket that had en it the name of his 10 -year- old sister. Dianne took a bicycle as her award. Public Co-operates Commenting on the annual event, Lions Club President John Longstaff said the carni- val was possible only because of the co-operation of the pub- lic generally. He expressed particulat appreciation to those who had assisted at the gates, in parking cars, and who work- ed long hours in the various, booths. Proceeds from .the carnival aid in financing the maintenance of the park and pool. • Always a top attraction, the penny sale this year offered 100 prizes which had been don- ated by Seaforth area merch- ants. In addition to the prizes listed, cash donations were con- tributed by the following: Boyes' Farm Supply; Tre- meer's Barber Shop; Seaforth Beauty Salon; Wong's Grill; A. W. Sillery; Province -of Ontario (Continued on Page 4) farmers. While there Was lit, tie objections to meters, all were agreed the limit should be •,• extended to two hours. Councillors agreed. the Addle tienal -trial periodhad indicat- ed "an extension in the parking time would be not unreaseni- able. Recalling the decision taken a month ago, they agreed they had the right to recon- sider and in .the light of oda- tiertal representations that had been made to change their minds. In a voice vote a mo- tion by Councillor Bell, approv- ing the change, was adopted. Clerk Lyle Hammond said it would be some time before the new time limit could be brought into effect. The governing by- law will have to be amended; and although no cost is involv- ed, changes must be made to each meter. Under the new ar- rangement, a motorist will be able toinserttwo five cent piec- es or. ten one.cent pieces and buy two hours parking. Council will continue to press Ontariq Water Resources for action on sewers, although frus- trated by delays on the part of the commission and consulting engineers. Reporting for Ilio committee, Councillor Flannery said they were "fed up" with lack of co-operation. Nobody in Toronto seemed interested in the project, as successive tar- get dates set by the OWRC for calling of tenders were ignor- ed. Latest difficulty lay in ob- taining easements as the re- sult of what 'council described as unreasonable conditions pro- vided by OWRC. The engineers should have resolved the prob- lem of easements months ago, members said. • Despite all the problems, council agreed the work had to be pressed se that tenders could be called at the earliest pos- sible date. Difficulties in controlling the manner in which .sswerconnec- tions are being madeake nec- essary a system of permits, - council decided.

The new joint withstood a external pressure of 21/2 tofs in recent tests and held water at' 10•• pounds pressure without leaking. The tests, which were carried out at the Hamilton plant of. Hamilton -Kent- 'Ltd., who makes the special gasket involv,ed. in the joint, were wit- nessed by A. Shattuck, chief en- gineer, construction, of t h e Ontario Water Resources Com- mission, as well as by repres- entatives of consulting engin- eers across Oetario. The test had never previously been car- ried out in Canada, and on only Tonilee. previous occasion in the United States, according to Peter Christensen, of Sewer Termed a "single offset joint," the new union introduces closer tolerances not previously pres- ent in cement pipe construction. It creates a no -leak bond, de- spite -extreme external pres- • sures, officials said. The leak- proof characteristics of the new joint reflect the redesigning of the tile and gasket. As a result of the develop- ment, OWRC is permitting spe- cifications of concrete pipe in applications not previously al- lowed, according to Doug Dales, • sewer tile engineer.
