SEAFORTH NOT NOTIFIED Lodge. Protest Against New Maitland Authorit Seaforth is protesting the formation of the Maitland River Conservation Authority on the grounds the municipality re- ceived no notice of a meeting at which a decision to establish the authority was taken. At a special meeting of coun- cil Monday, instructions were given Clerk Lyle Hammond to advise the Department .of Com- merce and Developmentiof -the town's objection. At the meet- ing in Wingham Thursday, Sea - forth was listed as absent, al- though municipal officials say they had no notice of the meet- ing. Seaforth's concern lies in the fact preliminary studies by the authority suggest about 50 per cent of the municipality is within the authority, while in practise a much smaller per- centage drains* into the Mait- land Valley. Had the Author- ity included the Bayfield River Valley as well in the Maitland, Seaforth would be involved. The Maitland River Conserva- tion Authority, encompassing all three branches of the river in the Maitland Valley water- shed, was formed at the Wing - ham meeting despite the objec- tions of five area municipali- ties. Following arguments for and against the formation of the new authority, a vote of 23 af- fected municipalities was taken, 13 voting in favor and five against. A two-thirds majority, under provincial law, was needed to pass the motion. Four other municipalities eligible to vote were not represented at the meeting in addition to Seaforth. These included the village of Blyth, and the townships of West Wawanosh, Maryborough and Kinloss. Extension of the Maitland area was requested by the Mid- dle Maitland Conservation Au- thority, a body formed 10 years ago by municipalities on the middle branch of the river. The meeting was called by the Ontario Department of Com- merce and Development. A. S. L. Barnes, assistant director of the conservationand parks branch of the department,' was chairman. Municipalities opposing for- mation of the new authority were the towns of Clinton and Goderich, and the townships of Hullett, Colborne and Goderich. (Continued on Page 12) Seek OMBApproval For New Sewer Plan A special meeting of Seaforth Council Monday evening gave approval to a revised sewer plan which had been negotiat- ed by Mayor E. Daly and Coun- cillor J. 0. Turnbull, at a meet- ing ...with the OWRC in Toronto Friday. The OWRC will seek Municipal Board approval to permit work to be completed before North Road paving is begun by the county. The proposal, designed to produce maximum sewer serv- ice within financial limits im- posed by the Municipal Board, is in two stages. The first stage, to cost $185,000, will in- clude trunk lines on Centre, East William, North Main St. and Side St. to Coleman. Here sewage will be lifted by a pump to the existing line at Main and Goderich Streets. The second stage will involve additional trunk lines on Gode- rich and Coleman Streets and construction of lagoon -type dis- posal facilities. Reporting on the Toronto meeting, Dr. Turnbull, chair- man of the Sewage Committee, said Stage 1 permits installa- tion of basic lines to provide service to that portion of the town north of Goderich Street. It ensures sewer installations will be in place before the county paves North MainStreet and will provide immediate service to the present hospital and shoe factory. Estimated cost of the project is $185,000. Annual costs would include OWRC interest of $10,- 637; OWRC debt retirement, $3,700; operating, $650; re- serve, $1,350. The recommended proposal takes in a substantially greater area of the town for a relative- ly small additional cost. Under the previous scheme, the pump- ing station would have been located at James and West Wil- liam Streets. Stage 1 would provide potential services to 185 residences. The Police Committee was asked to make further inquir- ies concerning a police school in London before approval for attendance of local officers is given. Council instructed the Clerk to initiate legal action to col- lect arrears of business taxes and other outstanding accounts. tries Crowd Se Crowds from across Huron County are expected to con- verge on Seaforth Friday to welcome back Gerald W.

The occasion was the first fall meeting of the Home and School Association, when 31 graduates of the class of 1960- 61 were guests of honor. The president, Mrs. A. Y. McLean, presided. Necessary things may not al- ways appear desirable, the speaker said, and reminded the graduates that control would always limit freedom. He told how even at his age he realiz- ed how little he knew in con- trast to the know-it-all feeling of Grade VIII graduates. Mr. Jefferson told the gradu- ates they had possibilities ahead of them, but the results were up to them and what they did with their abilities, and the decisions they made. He re- minded them of the necessity of tempering ambition with selflessness and spoke of the necessity for work and plea- sure, which work gives when understanding and liking are achieved. Mr. Talbot welcomed the new- comers to the Home and School and to Seaforth, as did Mrs. McLean. He informed the meet- ing that there are now 344 stu- dents, an increase of six, al- though the kindergarten was down to a model -sized class of 39. Members of the graduating class contributed to the pro- gram: Darlene Sills played two piano selections, and Jolene and (Cdntinited on rage 't') HENSALL FAIR Tuesday evening attracted wide, atten- tion as pupils of Hensall and surrounding schools took part in varied competitions.

Organized under the auspic- es of the Chamber of Com- merce, the parade this year is expected to include a greater number of floats, depicting fairy figures, according to C of C president Bruce MacMillan, who presided.' In discussing plans for the event the meeting stressed the fact that more community par- ticipation was needed to en- large the parade over the pre- vious year. In order to do' this, there was a requirement for more help, particularly on the day of the parade. The parade committee, as a step towards greater participa- tion, ' has canvassed Seaforth businessmen and has received asurances of broad support. Lee Learn, committee chairman, who with Mrs. Jean Hildebrand and Dr. J. D. Harvey made the canvass, said that everywhere there was increased interest. "We know the businessmen want the parade, and they are going to co-operate." Name Committees The meeting named a special Santa Claus parade committee, This includes as co-ordinator, A. Y. McLean, with L. F. Ford as assistant. Secretary is town clerk Lyle Hammond. Commit- tee chairmen are: publicity, J. R. Spittal; finance, Jim Stew- art; decorations, R. J. Boussey; ing in planning in the event. Discussing decorations, Mr. Boussey said approximately 10 new strings of lights were need- ed. It is planned to criss-cross the lights this year, and that all would be at the same heigth on the poles along Main Street, Mrs. Jean Hildebrand, report- ing on a Merchants' Committee meeting, said assistance would be given those intending to en- ter floats by suggesting ideas. C of C Secretary Leo Hagan told the meeting that this year's streets signs have arrived. Erec- tion of these will begin .shortly. Cliff Broadfoot told the meet- ing that his committee, in con- junction with the Seaforth Ag- ricultural Society, has disposed of display space to merchants and other businesses at the Seaforth Fall Fair. • Plan Selling Event Merchants are planning now for the next Seaforth Selling Event, which has been set for Saturday, Oct. 7. In addition to money -saving 'buying oppor- tunities in each of the stores, a street program is being or- ganized with prizes for a num- ber of special events. "It will be even more popu- lar than the other big nights Seaforth merchants have ar- ranged," according to Mrs. Jean Hildebrand, who is assist- SEAFORTH MINISTER IS NAMED MODERATOR OF PRESBYTERY Rev.
