The Huron Expositor, 1960-09-01, Page 1n, 101st Year Whole No. 4829 SDHS Cadet Tells Experience At Army Camp Cadet Major Bruce Miller was one of several hundred army cadets who attended Banff Na- tional Cadet Camp during the summer. A student of SDHS, he is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. P, Miller, Seaforth. Here he. describes his experi- ences: Our group df 127 Cadets left London at 10 o'clock Sunday morn- ing enroute for Toronto, where we transferred to our sleeping cars. When we awoke the next morning we were well intp Northern On- tario, where great expanses of rock and thousands of small lakes met our astonished gaze. We had seen ,rock before, but never any- thing like this. • We moved on past the rock to the Lakehead, where we followed the constantly rough Lake Super- ior, as great log booms moved up and down her shoreline to the pulp The following day we arrived in Winnipeg, where everyone raced to see the sights -of this great city. - Then came the praries-miles and miles of flat land, broken occa- sionally by the odd house or stor- age elevator. This flatness soon became a series of rolling hills, which grew larger and farther apart as we pushed west. This was oil country, where great derrieks and storage 'tanks stood in great numbers at the outskirts of the cities. Then there were the mountains - mighty giants pushing their snow- capped summits through white, fluffy clouds that seemed to cloak their shoulders like a cape. What small and insignificant creatures we seemed to. be as these giants towered over us with more ma- jesty and magnificence than any monarch could ever command. Butwe couldn't look for long, as buses waited to take us to our new home. We arrived in what seemed to be a large tourist camp, complete with bungalows and of- fice, flanked by mighty, Cascade Mountain; which had a stream cas- cading down its side in a series of waterfalls, into the tree -line which covers the base. We soon found that this beautiful setting was to be our Camp for the next three weeks. During these three exciting weeks we made a tour of the sur- rounding country, as well as camp- ing for a week in the mountains. The first Week of tours began with swimming in the hot sulphur baths at the Upper Hot Springs and the Cave and Basin where the water maintains a constant temperature of 72-80 degrees.

SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMDER 1, 1960 WORKING HIGH above the General ,Coach Works plant at Hensall, steel erectors are assembling a 160,000 -gallon water tank to provide fire protection for the large Hensall mobile home indus- try. The tank 'and tower will reach 110 feet above ground when completed. It is' located on company property adjoining No. 4 Highway. Sprinklers Aid General'Security. Grain silos, long a mark - of the Hensall' skyline, had competition this week as erection of a 110 -foot high water tower got under way at the plant of General Coach Works of Canada Limited. Take Area Woman To Hospitbl After Car Strikes Ditch A Seaforth area woman, uncon- scious for some hours following a car accident late Tuesday after- noon, was in satisfactory condition Wednesday at Scott Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Rudolph Etue, RR '4, Sea - forth, suffered cuts, bruises and shock when she was thrown from her car after it crashed into a diteh on County Road 10, four miles West of Kippen. She was alone in the car at the time of the accident. Attended by Dr. M. W. Staple - too, Seaforth, she was removed to Scott Memorial Hospital by West- lake ambulance of Zurich.. The accident was investigated by OPP Constable D. M. West- over, of Exeter. The car was bad- ly wrecked. Labor Day Comes Next Week Monday, Sept. 5 -Labor Day -will be a public holiday in Seaforth, and places 'of busi- ness will be dosed that day. Correspondents and adver- tisers are asked to co-operate by ensuring that their copy comes forward as early as pos- sible to assist the publishers in coping with the shorter work week. The 100,000 -gallon capacity tank will cdmplete installation of a sprinkler system for the large Hensall industry. Cost of the pro- gram is estimated at $45,000. Decision to install the sprinkler system was prompted by the na- ture of the work done in the plant, including painting and woodwork- ing, which results in a high insur- ance rate. With the risk of fire cut to a minimum by the new sprinkler system, the company ex- pects substantial reductions in in- surance costs. Equally important, according to W. C. Smith, general manager of the company, is the extent to which the elimination onfire hag.- ard contributes to, job security. "Employees are assured:that no longer is a sudden fire going to wipe out the plant and the jobs it makes piissiblec" Mr. Smith said. "The sprinkler system is ,a safety factor for company and employees alike." He added •that the com- pany had had but one fire in the time it had been in Hensall, de- spite the high risk that existed in certain operations. • The tower formerly served To- ronto township and has been mov- ed to Hensall from Cooksville. It is being erected by Dominion Steeplejacks Ltd., Toronto, under contract to. Vipond Sprinkler Sys- tems Ltd., also of Toronto. Protects Two Plants The system will provide fire pro- tection for 56,000 square feet of building, including two plants and a storage warehouse. Each sprinkler head, placed 10. feet apart across the ceilings, will throw 20 gallons of water a min- ute when the automatic valves are opened by heat ranging from 160 to 220 degrees. Water for the new tank will be obtained from the Hensall water system. When the tower is com- pleted in about a month's time it is expected that a further two to three weeks will be required to completely fill the 23 -foot diameter tank. F of A Proposes Annuity For Retiring Farmers A retirement annuity plan for Ontario farmers is an early possi- bility, it was revealed Tuesday. Ontario Federation of Agriculture members, meeting in Toronto, dis- cussed the proposal and the man- ner in which the program could be put into motion. 4 Attending from the Huron Fed- eration of Agriculture were Presi- dent Warren Zurbrigg, and Secretary Carl Hemingatray. R. S. Me- Kercher, McKillop, president of ODPC, was also present. The proposed annuity plan is de- signed to fill the retirement needs of many farmers who in the past have not had any pension or re - *meat plans to kelp these in their advanced years. 11 farmers give full support to this program; promotion and selling costs will likely be very low and the annuity will be an extremely attractiva savings plan. The proposal is in three parts: one, an unregistered plan which a farmer can borrow against, or convert to cash if the need arises. The unregistered plan will be pre- ferable to most farmers, but a high income farmer may prefer a registered plan. Under a registered plan, the farmer can save 10 per cent of his gross taxable income up to a maximum of $2,500,00 per year, and deduct it from his gross in- come for tax purposes. if he dies before his amity begins, his es tatewill pay only 15 per cent tax and the death benefit. Even though he may have saved a much' greater rate of'tax on his contri. butiotis, he cannot borrow on his savings or convert them to cash except under a severe tax pen- alty. The third part is to have one registered plan and one unregis- tered plan. ° - Premium on the annuity will vary according to age and the amount taken out. OFA melnbers approved a motion asking Co-op- erators Insurance Association° to set up the plan and give full sup- port to it in encouraging farmers to participate. ,Metnbers also discussed mem- bership problems and plans for the OFA annual meeting to be held October 31, November 1 and 2, 1960, M *Permit°, $2.50 a Year M Advance Single Copies, 5• CentO See Area Classrooms Crowded When Students BOgin NewTerf*. • Attendance in Seaforth schools is expected to be somewhat higher NAME CHAMPIONS when the bells ring Tuesday morn- ing.
