Promise Fine Weather for Santa Parade Saturday Even the weatherman is co- operating to make Seaforth's welcome to Santa on Saturday afternoon the outstanding event of the year. Meterological fore- casters at RCAF• Station Centra- lia said on Wednesday night that Saturday would be some- what cloudy, mild, with temper- atures in the mid -forties. There would be no snow. There are going to be at least 28 floats, parade officials said. In addition; dozens of costumed marchers will take part, according to Mrs. Jean Hildebrand, who is looking af- ter parade entries. There will be eight bands, as well as clowns, drum major- ettes, horses, riders and others depicting favorite story book characters. Parade marshal is Charles Dungey, and he and his com- mittee will be in . charge at the marshalling point along Duke Street. Units will be lo- cated along Duke Street from the Arena to Highland Shoes. Area streets will be closed to traffic while the parade is be- ing assembled. "By parade time everything will be ready," the parade mar- shal said: "All that is neces- a—MT is to be at the marshal- ling point at one o'clock on Saturday." The parade gets under way at 2 o'clock. It will proceed to North Main Street, south along Main Street to the Legion Hall, where Santa will distribute candy to the children. The parade will continue east along Crombie to Victoria., and north Kids March In Pixie Band There is nothing children like to do more than march. Realizing this, a group of mothers late Iast summer dis- cussed how an opportunity could be given a few of them. Out of these discussions was born the Seaforth Pixie Band, who will make its debut at the Santa Claus parade Saturday. Sparked by Mrs. Jeano Hilde- brand and Mrs. Angus '''Mac- Lean, the pixies soon developed into a smart -stepping, brightly. costumer group. As the weeks passed they developed a sense of rhythm under the guidance of Ken Bassett, The group—all 5 and 6-year- olds—was .aided by donations of shoes by Highland Shoes, and of instruments by the Sea - forth Legion. The mothers joined together and made the costumes. on Victoria to Victoria Park. There will be free skating in the Arena for children follow- ing the.parade. For a time it was feared sewer constructionwould force a change in the route, but this no longer is the case. During the parade, motorists are asked to keep cars from Main Street. Traffice arrange- ments are in charge of Chief Elmer Hutchison, 'and working with him is Keith Sharp and Boy Scouts, who are assisting with parking and in directing the crowds that are expected, Prior to the parade, and while it is in progress, the crowds will be kept informed concern- ing the various'entries by a PA system in operation along Main Street. - While most emphasis this week has been placed on com- pleting parade arrangements, committee members pointed out that work on all other aspects of the Seaforth Christmas pro- gram is going forward, . Main Street decorations are completed, and a number of stores have completed decora- tions, while others have work under way. .A large ,40 foot Christmas tree was erected in front of the Town Hall Tues- day, ready for, Santa's visit. Seaforth stores will remain open during Wednesday after- noons in December for the con- venience of the community. The stores also will remain op - Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings before Christmas. They will be closed the Wed- nesday after Christmas for Box- ing Day,' Huron f of A urges Action dn Supports The Huron County Federation of Agriculture, at its annual meeting in Londesboro Wednes- day decided to request the On- tario Minister of Agriculture to encourage the federal govern- ment to continue the price sup- ports in the milk industry until a national plan is developed and voted upon. "Ontario is not largely responsible for the milk surpluses in Canada, were the words used in the resolution.as it was drafted 'by the federation resolutions committee in re- gards to the collapse of the Ontario Milk Marketing Plan. . The meeting also unanimous• ly agreed to request the fed- eral government to establish a regulating testing station and to appoint an inspector for Hur- on County for the grain trade. "Whereas there is a very large grain, bean and corn trade car- ried out in the town of Hen - sell, and whereas there is some disatisfaction regarding testing and grading as there is a con- siderable distance to the. near- est testing station," *was the wording of the resolution. The federal government will also be asked to return the subsidy on Grade A hogs to the $3 level from the present $2 mark, in an effort to en- courage the production of qual- ity carcasses. The provincial government will be asked to abolish the present regulation requiring a permit by farmers for the movement of farm machinery exceeding eight feet on the highways.

SEAORTH,.ONTARIO, THURSDAY; NO EM13E -29 - 96 econ� Seaforth Voters C gyor ix Councillors Seetion, Pees ,$ In Hullett Return Reeve And Council There will be no election in Hullett this year. Reeve Thomas Leiper and the council were returned by acclamation on Friday. Nominated were: REEVE—Thomas Leiper, by John Armstrong and John Riley. FOR COUNCIL_ -Hugh Flynn, by Nelson Lear and Harvey Wells; Don Buchanan, by Glen Carter and Walter Scott; James McEwing, by Herbert Beacom and John Riley; Clare ,Vincent, by Lloyd' Pipe and Joseph Youngblut. A meeting of the ratepayers followe with the clerk as chair- man. The financial statement was read which covered the period from January 1962 to November 1962; also a con- densed comparative statement of revenues and expenditures for the year 1961. Copies of the financial statement were made available to the ratepay- ers for their study and com- ment. The chairman called on Road Superintendent Leonard Cald- well to report on the construc- tion. and maintenance costs for the roads and bridges of Hul- lett. Mr. Caldwell accounted for the expenditure• of $44,092.06 to Oct. 31, 1962. The budget for roads and bridges is set " at $52,000, so this will leave • a balance of close to $8,000 for expenditures to the end of the year. Reeve Thomas Leiper discuss- ed affairs of the county. One of the significant facts mentioned was that the county had set aside in their appropriations an amount of $50,000 for. the pur- poses of assisting in the con- struction of new hospitals. A rural municipality is generally obliged to support more than one hospital construction due to the proximity of its boundaries to the various hospitals. The Township of Hullett could be asked to contribute to four hos. pitals. Councillors reported on the work done in the municipality. Each expressed appreciation for being nominated and mention- ed their concern at the amount -of arrear taxes. Although the situation is not alarming, it is worthy of serious considera- tion. One of the bridges in the municipality is due for replace- ment as the floor of the bridge has given way and is consider- ed unsafe for traffic at present.
