The congregation has been served by eleven miniatera' since its founding in 1847. Cadets Parade For Inspection Seaforth -District High School Cadet Corps missed a soaking in their annual inspection be- cause of a soggy field Tuesday afternoon. The soggy field forced the inspection into the Seaforth Memorial Arena. Rain pelted down on the roof as Major John D. Harvey, of the 21st Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artil- lery; Captain Thurgood, G Branch Officer Headquarters, Western Ontario Area, and Staff Sat. D. Darling, of Area Cadet Office Headquarters, Western Ontario Area; inspected the cadet corps. Major Harvey reviewed the corps for the third yeir. "It was pretty good the first year, better the second year, and it's even better this year," he stated. Major Harvey said there were 12 cadet corps associated with his regiment, and which stand out was difficult to say. "Naturally there are tail -end- ers, but Seaforth has never been a tail -ender," he reported. "As a member of a commun- ity with cadets, I get an extra lift when I see .good cadet work," said Major Harvey. He told the ' cadets we all have a responsibility for de- fence, and this cadet corps is evidence it has been accepted to a considerable extent. It is easy to see when a cadet does a conscientious job, and "I can see quite a few today," he stated. Major Harvey commented on the Regimental March. "The Grenadiers stole it from us. You, being associated with a gunner regiment, should stand up when you hear it," The four platoons, outfitted in neatly pressed battle dress, marched past the inspecting of- ficers to the music of the Sea - forth District High School Girls' Trumpet Band. The girls ' were dressed in black pill ' boxes with a white border, spanking white blazers, bright red skirts and white knee socks. After the march past in pla- toon column and route column, the cadets demonstrated first aid, Cadet Peter Sillery's .charges...displayed artificial res, piration and the application of splints to broken limbs. The map using demonstration under Cadet Bryce Jacobi char- tered various local courses. The Bren gun was used in the light machine gun display. Cadet/Cpl. Barry Nolan in- structed the group and was in charge. The cadet gymnasts, in trim white athletic uniforms, exhib- ited an exciting series, of rolls and vaults under the ellarge of Allan Patterson. Captain Archie Dobson said the cadets had placed more em- phasis on their training during the last month for the inspec- tion. Major Harvey presented the awards, Cadet Richard Muegge received the best shot award. Cadet/Major Paul Rau was the best officer on parade, and Cadet/Sgt. Maj. D. Fry was the best NCO on parade. Cadet/Capt. Thomas Phillips showed the best qualities of leadership. The Most Improved Cadet Award went to Cadet Brian Stewart. Major Harvey said the most improved cadet would •us- ually attain the best cadet sta- tus within one or two years. First aid group members were Peter Wilbee, Bruce El- liott, Robert McNaughton, Mich- ael Newnham, Brian Habkirk, William Rowat and Leslie Car- ter.

WO a $fear• i>a *Oa' Single Co*, 10Cents Seek IIternctiveIj4ittE For New •Storm SeWer Seaforth Town Council auth- orized James F. MacLaren Ltd. to prepare a plan showing de- tails of easements required for an alternate route to Side St. for the 24 -inch storm sewer from Main St. to Chalk St., at a special meeting Tuesday night at the Town Hall. k Necessity to- determine on .an alternative route for the line which will drain the new high- way construction on North Main Street, arose as a result of dif- ficulty in constructing the sani- tary sewer line on narrow Side Street. Swer contractors, who be- gan work - on the street early in December, found a water main four feet from where it had been indicated on the plan. In addition, there was a gas line, a number of surface drains and two rows of utility poles on the street. As a result, the street has been closed to traf- fie since work began and only this week was it possible for some residents to drive to their homes. Engineers said it was im- practical to attempt to lay a further sewer line on the street because of the congestion. Cost of replacing the water ' main would be prohibitive. The alternative, they suggest- ed, was that an easement be .obtained through private land 100 feet north of Side Street. Huron Highways Engineer J. W. Britnell and representatives of the MacLaren firm attended the meeting. Council also passed two by- laws concerning the new sewer projects. The first bylaw con- firms the sewer rates to be charged on sanitary sewage in- stallations. The rates are: 40c per foot on residential front- age, with an additional 25c per foot for commercial frontage and on frontage of buildings containing more than two dwel- ling units. The second bylaw authorizes the, town to enter an agreement with the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission for con- struction and operation of addi- tions to the present sewage pro- ject, This covers extensions on Goderich ' Street and James Street. Because the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation is hesitant to finance' construction without a town planning bylaw, town council set up a town pian- ning committee. Members of the committee are Mayor Earl ' Dinsmore, Reeve William 13.411, Nelson Cardno, Richard Box, Bradford Smith, Ross Savauge and James A. Stewart. While the committee has- no authority under the act, it will collect necessary data prelim- inary to an application being made to the province to create a planning area. Application for such an area and the creation of a town planning board will be considered later. Decision leading to the crea- tion .of the committee was prompted by discussions held recently between representa- tives of the council, chamber of corfimeree and Mid -Western Development Association. Council also passed a resolu- tion to request the Mid -Western Ontario Development Associa- tion to do an industrial survey of the town. The survey will be taken at no cost to the town and will help, determine the; growth potential of Seaforth..
