,heating system. The PUC will
be approached to do the nec-
essary work;
The progress report present-
ed by finance committee chair-
man Angus MacLean, showed
Our committees overspent and
two underspent at the present
time. The total amount of the
budget underspent to Oct. 31,
was $1,417.00.
- Reduce Arrears
Receipts from the tax sale
totalled $12,472.60, w h i c h
brought the total tax arrears of
1961 and prior down to $15,-
960.12. At the start of 1962,_
these arrears totalled $53,-
869.83. Current taxes for 1962
still outstanding are $31,330.55.
This is approximately $6,500
higher than at the same period
last year.
A request from the Seaforth
and District Community Centre
board for a grant of $1,000 was
sanctioned by council. The re-
quest pointed out that there
were a few unpaid bills due to
a decrease in revenue Iast year,
'including the loss of rent from
Teen Town for a period of 10
weeks during the summer. The
letter, from L. F. Ford, treas-
urer for the board, pointed out
that in 1959 the boardliad re-
ceived a grant of $3,500; in
1960, $3,000, and in 1961 it
was able to operate without
approaching the town for help.
Councillor Dinsmore, com-
menting that skating rates for
weekend skating were high for
many families, suggested that
council grant the board an ex-
tra $500 if these rates were cut.
After consideration, including
suggestions for the issuing of
season's tickets, the- matter was
dropped when Councillor Card -
no suggested that the two mem-
bers of council who were also
on the board would bring the
suggestion up at the next meet-
ing of -the board.
Mr. Cardno pointed out that
the town subsidized the arena
to keep it going, while the
rural councils provided no funds
toward its upkeep. If the sur-
rounding communities chip in,
it would make it much easier
to maintain, Mr. Cardno said.
The rural kids use the arena as
much as the town children,
council felt.
If the citizens don't stand 'be-
hind the police, they (the po-
lice) . can't do a thing, Council-
lor Earl Dinsmore said,follow-
ing consideration of a letter
from a local citizen and one
from Police Chief Elmer Hutch-
inson. The letters referred to
an incident on October 19 on
Main Street involving an out-of-
town ear. The Chief was not
able to make an arrest when it
was not possible to positively
identify the driver. However,
his letter said, when he ap-
proached the complainant he
would not lay a charge and
identify the' driver.
In the police report for the
month, the chairman of the
protection to persons corn
tee, Mr. Dinsmore, read a
quest from the new Ont
Police College at Aylmer, wh
is in itsr
sta ting stage. The
letter pointed out that training
was essential for good polic-
ing and requested information
about the Seaforth force. Mr..
Dinsmore felt that the course
would become a necessity in
the near future when hiring
•constables.
The PUC, will be requested to
install a light at the Ben Akker
residence on Welsh Street. -
Reporting for the protection
toproperty committee, .Council-
lor Neil . C. Bell said repairs
had been made to the roof' of
the fire hall, but that it was
still leaking, and further work
would have to be done on it.
Assist Arena
Twelve posts have been re-
inforced at the arena by the
town staff, the report of street
foreman Harold Maloney, read
by public works chairman, Carl
Dalton,- showed. Snow fences
are all installed and two drains
opened and cleaned on North
Main Street, as well as open
ditches cleaned at the mouths
of the tiles. Some sidewalk
patching and street gravelling
was carried out, two trees cut
and stumps removed on James
Street. There are still 11 or 12
dead trees to be removed, the
report revealed. Welsh Street
las been widened and graded'
at the entrance to the propos-
ed PUC sub -station.
The town will bear one-half
of the cost' of erecting a new
fence on Welsh Street, to re-
place one that had to be re-
moved when the street was op-
ened up. -Although surveyed as
a street, at some stage a fenoe
was erected on the street al-
lowance. The present owner
requested the town to replace
the fence when they approach-
ed him regarding moving it
back to the proper line, but
after discussions with the com-
mittee, agreed that by opening
up the street his property be-
came more valuable and agreed
to share the cost of the fence.
Victoria Park was described
as in a "disgraceful mess" on
Sunday by Councillor MacLean.
It should have been cleaned up
before the Remembrance Day
services, he said. Although the
trees were all bare, the leaves
were still on the ground, de-
spite the good weather on Fri-
day when they could have been
removed, he said. Somebody
certainly slipped this year, he
concluded.
Heating problems are still
being experienced at the dis-
posal plant, sanitation commit-
tee chairman John Flannery
told council, Where was too
.much dampness for the motors
'to operate properly and the
present units are so'badlycor-
roded that despite repairs
ainounting to $842, the repair-
man said it was debatable how
long they would continue to op-
erate. A new unit would cost
about $120.
It would be better to get the
heater fixed properly than to
have to continue all the repairs
to the motors, one councillor
said. Another suggested install-
ing the same type of electrical
unit as proposed for. the PUC
office, and council decided to
look into the matter at the
same time as the change is pro-
posed in the police office.
Council instructed Mr. Flan-
nery to contact the contractor
on the sewage job to see when
work will get under way. No
word has been heard from the
contractor, although one truck
was observed unloading items
at the Clarke service station
on Main ftreet last week. The
order to phone was given when
it was learned that the contrac-
tor on the storm sewer, Mc-
Lean -Foster, is anxious to get
underway.
November 26- was setas nem-
ination day for the town - of
Seaforth. The nominations will
take place in the Legion Hall
from 7:30 p.m. until 8:30 p,m.,
followed by the annual rate-
payers' meeting. Rates for
polling booths were set at $15.
A by-law was passed authoriz-
ing participation in the Ontario
Municipal Employees' retire-
ment system. The plan goes
into effect January 1, 1963, and
will require all town employees
to join.
The assessment roll, total-
ling $1,628,104.76 taxable, was
accepted by council. This re-
presents about a $50,000 in-
crease over last year. Ques-
tioned by Reeve W. N. Ball,
Clerk C. Lyle Hammond point-
ed out that Seaforth was 45
electors short of qualifying for
a deputy -reeve.
Council adjourned at 10:55
p.m.
Assessment Up
In Usborne
Taxable assessment in Us -
borne Township increased by
$4,500 this year,to $82,754,750,
the report 'of assessor H. H. G.
Strang showed. A breakdown
of the assessment shows resi-
dential, $151,000; commercial
and business, $37,600; farm,
$2,565,650; and Separate School
$22,400.
Population decreased in the
township by four, to 1,520.
Two appeals were disallowed
as council met as a court of re-
vision on the assessment prior
to the regular meeting. Appeals
were from Mrs. Gordon Hayter,
t 5, STR concession, buildings
too high, and John Tomlinson,
lot 13, SEB concession, land too
high. Transfers of lot part 13,
SEB, A. Chatten to R. Robin-
son, and part 10, concession 6,
A. Fulton to C. and M: Martin,
were confirmed by the ceurt.
Date for nomination and
ratepayers' meeting was set for
November 26, and polling day
December 3. Next meeting of
couneil will take place Tues-
day, Dec. 4.

ize our campaign was fixed in
advance and works out to ap-
proximately 21/2 per cent of our
total objective."
In explaining the low fixed
fee, Mr. MacMillan said it cov-
ered the services of a full-time
representative for a period of
seven weeks and the services
of an office manager on a part-
time basis throughout the cam-
paign. The company prepares
.detailed plans of the compaign
and creates and supervises the
necessary organization to carry
out the program. Consultation
continues to be available
throughout the campaign.
"In setting up an efficient
type of organization we are as-
sured that all in the commun-
ity have an opportunity to
know vdhat the campaign is
about, and to participate to
the best of their ability," said
Mr. MacMillan, "and with their
national know-how and contacts
the company also provides us
with advice regarding the solici-
tation of gifts from national cor-
porations and foundations."
In ` explaining the extent of
fund-raising activities in Can-
ada, Mr. MacMillan explained
that this particular company,
just in this area alone, cur-
rently is conducting a campaign
for the University of Waterloo
and also one for the University
of Western Ontario, as well as
the Seaforth Community Hospi-
tal—and it was also responsible
for the 'campaign which made
possible the erection of the
Stratford Festival Theatre.
"We are more than happy
with the results of our arrange-
ments so far," concluded Mr.
MacMillan, "for without profes-
sional guidance .it would have
been infinitely more difficult to
launch, let alone conclude, a
successful campaign."
DAY.—BUCHANAN
The RCAF Chapel, Winnipeg,
was the setting of a double -ring
ceremony on October 27, when
Padre P. Ross united in mar-
riage, Clara Stewart, eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don-
ald Buchanan,- Walton, and F/O
John H. Day, Winnipeg, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Day, of
London. -
The bride wore a cocktail -
length gown ,of white brocade,
featuring a bell skirt, •highlight-
ed with a wide self -bow and
slight train at the back. The
fitted bodice had a sebop neck-
line and three-quarter sleeves.
A pearl crown held her tiered
illusion veil. She carried a cas-
cade of white feathered mums.
The maid of honor, Miss Mary
Day, sister of the groom, wore a
cock -tail length gown of gold
brocade, similar to that of the
bride, and she carried a spray
of bronze mums.
F/O Gerald Johnsrude attend-
ed as best man.
Fallowing a reception at the
Ellice Inn, the couple left for
a trip to Clear Lake. For trav-
elling the bride chose a sheath
dress and jacket of cherry red
wool knit with black accessories
and a corsage of white mums.
The bride graduated from
Stratford Teachers' College and
the groom is a graduate of
Queen's University in civil en-
gineering,

ment frustrate them—stopping
their doing this, that, and the
other thing. The immediate re-
sult of all this frustration is
temper 'outbursts. The long-
term result of excessive frus-
tration at this age . is either a
lifelong 'fighting back at the
merest suggestion, of frustra-
tion, or a sense of defeatism
and an ,unwillingness to try.
This is not to say that we
should avoid frustration in
bringing up our children. Frus-
tration is one of the facts of
life that everyone must learn
to live with. It is excessive
frustration that we should •help
our children to avoid.
"Between these two peaks of
heightened emotion—the pre-
school and the teens -come the
relatively placid • years of ' the
elementary school child," the
speaker said. "I say 'relatively
placid', because there is emo-
tion experienced with every-
thing we do at all ages of life,
but the elementary school years
are not a period of intense gen-
eral emotion as the pre-school
and teen years are. Yet these
are years of development too,
although of rather quiet devel-
opment.
opment. If • I were to mention
some characteristics of each of
these years, .you would see a
change from year to year, and
of course there is a great
change over the eight to ten
years between the early pre-
schooler and the teen-ager.
Leaving aside the obvious physi-
caI differences in size and in
motor ability from year to year,
you will detect a thread, run-
ning right through, of increas-
ing independence and self-reli-
ance, and also a degree of feel-
ing -insecure. The independence
and self-reliance are being
learned by, for instance, push-
ing up to the limits of what
other people will put up with."
Six -Year -Olds Argue
.For example, the six-year-old
tries out his power by startling
his parents by using shock
words, toilet words, He argues
as to what he is to do. He isn't
always sure he is loved by his
parents; he knows there are
times when he doesn't love
them, and his brothers and sis-
ters, and he fears this may
work in reverse—a really dis-
• turbing thought. He is jealous
of anyone coming between him
and his mother. These mixed
states of feeling insecure and
unhappy are at the bottom of
much of the continual fighting
and teasing that some children
show,
"The seven-year-old has be-
come aware• of differences' in
authority. He knows ,his moth-
er is in command in some areas
of his life, and his father in
other areas; and if he is unfor-
tunate enough to have an older
sister he'll have experienced
her exercise.•of ,authority. What
he wants to know at Seven
years of age is, "Who's boss
around here, anyway?" He
wants to know the ultimate
authority. Also, he begins to
try out the teacher at school;
he straggles coming in from re-
cess; he annoys his neighbor in
class with an eye to see how
far he can go before the teach-
er jumps on him. He pushes
to the limit in calling his friend
such names as Stinky, Bug
Eyes. He loves caricature and
the grotesque—again a matter
of pushing to the limits of re-
ality and beyond.
"The eight-year-old begins to
appreciate the teacher as a
person in her own right; that
is, he does not expect her to
have the same standards and
to make the same requirements
' -11418,1411S PL irkitwuj x,arivsc
as his mother; he sees that the
teacher has and is entitled to
have different standards. He is
differentiating adults and sees
the teacher as having person-
ality traits of her own. Girls
of this age try on.their mother's
lipstick and nail polish, to see
the person effect, to be like the
grownups, and not just as a
matter of daubing anything in
the room. The girl and the boy
begin to appreciate historical
perspective and have great in-
terest in far -away places. They
can hold a friend longer than
formerly and can even share a
friend with a third party—so
long as he feels the 'friend
likes him best. He's beginning
to deal with abstract concepts,
such as honesty.
"The nine-year-old is begin-
ning to keep the adult at arm's
Length; he isseldom confiden-
tial wit}k' an adult; he needs the
adults' understanding, but he
prefers, at other than times of
crisis, to keep away from •them.
His rules of behaviour are com-
ing more from the gang. Girls
do more talking _ speculate
about people in the neighbor-
hood and know everything that
goes on. The nine-year-old
is
avid for information about oth-
er times and other places—pre-
historic monsters, personalities
in the news, inventions. He wor-
ries about how his freckles or
his curly hair prevent his be-
coming like his hero.
- Resistance Grows
"At 10 to 12 years, the resist-
ance to adult authority, the re-
jection of the elders' example,
and the dependence on the peer
group's approval which are so
prominent in the teens become
apparent. There is a great
variation in- youngsters of this
age—some are quite old for
their years, and others are still
little children. Girls are usual-
ly more mature than boys, both
physically and mentally. Both
boys and girls are interested in
the 'why' of personal relation-
ships; they talk with others
about how they ' feel towards
their brothers and sisters, their
absent friends of either sex.
Some have a sense of being
smothered at home or at school
and have an urge to seek ad-
venture elsewhere.-
"And
lsewhere."And so the individual comes
to the teens, with certain hab-
its and attitudes that are the
suit of the experiences he
had before—some of service to
him in readiness to tackle new
things; and some of handicap,
as an attitude of resisting being
told, or a habit of procrastina-
tion, for example. There is no
need to spend time here on
the characteristics of the teen-
ager. The development of in-
dependence and self-reliance—
the thread we have been fol-
lowing—proceeds at a faster
pace in the teens. `You teen,
agers may think you have a
hard' time with your parents.
It 15 equally true that parents
may think they have a hard
time with you. We parents do
recognize that it is necessary
for you to achieve an inde-
pendent position on all kinds
of things. The best thing that
could happen to gladden the
lives of teen-agers and their
parents would be for each—
teen-ager and parent—to put
himself or herself in the oth-
er's position and see things
from that point of view, as
well as from his own. The
ability to put yourself in the
other person's position and to
see how things look from his
point of view is something of
immense value in this life—it
will enrich your life beyond al-
most • anything else in the way
,•
you understand others, in get-
ting along with people — your
wife, your children, your boss,
your employees, the new Cana-
dians in our midst, the Ameri-
cans' attitude towards Canada,
etc. It' is a faculty .worth con-
sciously cultivating—to 'take' a
little time every' day to stop
and think how does what I'm
doing look to the other person
most closely involved with me
in this action, and also as to
what it is that underlies an-
other's action that involves me.
You who have grown up in this
predominantly Scottish com-
munity have probably heard
Robbie Burns on' this matter—
'Would somebody 'the giftie gie
us to see oursel's as ithers see
us'.
Must Find Place
"The central task of the teen-
agers, as far as the develop-
ment of personality is concern-
ed, is to find his place in so
far as his relations with others
go. .He will develop in these
years the feeling of how he
stands in relation .to others—
who is smarter •than he is, and
who not so smart; in what
broad areas of life he is likely
to succeed in competition with
others, and in what to fail; how
to get along, more or less, with
individuals of the other sex.
"The chief danger of this
period is diffusion of one's en-
ergy over too many activities
The teen-ager has much energy
—more for some things than for
others—compare playing ten-
nis and cutting 'the grass. He
has wide interests—the world
in its infinite variety is open-
ing before him. It is vital for
his future to put these various
•interests in some sort of order;
top priority goes to one; an-
other can be secondary, .and the
rest subsidiary — be it sports,
school, dancing, the other sex,
chemical experiments, shooting
pool. The teen-ager has to deal
with confusing, sensations as to
his body and ,his sex, conflict-
ing possibilities and choices as
to his goals and whom he will
associate with. He needs to feel
that he is moving towards an
understandable future in which
he will have a definite role to
play."
