liaison meeting were spent
discussing whether the press
•should be allowed to attend. The
provincial representative said
.that although it was unusual, he
had no objection if nobody else
had. None were raised.
Complaints about dusts from
the sewer construction were
brought tip by Reeve John
Flannery. Peter Sawyer, of James
F. MacLaren Ltd., the consulting
engineers for • the project,
reported all the streets, except
Railway Street and the ones that
the crews were working on, have
•had at least one application of
calcium chloride,
Rce‘e Flannery said he had
seen one such application and
that you could scoop the dust up
after the applicator went by.
The provincial represesntative
said that there is no reason for
this taking place.
"The contractor has no reason
to skimp," he said. "He is paid
for what he uses.."
The provincial representatives
said that there, had been. some
problem in obtaining the calcium
chloride, but this was not an
excuse not to do a proper job
when they do have it.
"If you., need another
application, there is no doubt,
we'll have to get it," he said.
The provincial representative
also presented a progress report
on the sewers to the committee.
At present there are two sewer
crews working on the main sewer
lines and one crew working on
connections. Another crew is
working on tunnelling.
The tunnelling crew has just
completed work on a tunnel at
George SoUth and Main St. and
now will move to the CNR
crossing at Jarvis St. After that is
completed the crew will move to
Oak and Main St. and then to

Hurbn County farmers should
be on the lookout for army worm
infestation in their wheat crops as
several cases have been
discovered in the county,
according to Mike Miller of the
Huron ' County agriculture office.
Mr. Miller said that the eases
discovered to date have been
spotty with some fields having no
army worms while the next one
has, four or five to the square foot..
Several cases were discovered in
Hullett -Township *Tuesday.
- Farmers should check their
fields in the evening and if they,
find four to six to the square foot
they should consider spraying, he
said.
The army worm ranges in size
from 3/8 of an inch up to 1" or
more. Mr. Miller said that it' the
worms discovered are small ones
a farmer should be more inclined
to spray as they will have a lot of
eating ahead of them. However, if
the worms are large they will
probably stop eating in the next
week or so.
TIf a high-boy is to be used for
spraying the farmer should be
convinced that the spraying will
be of enough benefit to make up
for the damage from tramping
that will occur", said Mr. Miller.
"However, if a plane is used
there won't be that problem."
Miller said it was
important that farrnerscheck their
wheat crop now and then recheck
in a week. 'Farmers should also
start checking their grain crops in
a week .for army worm damage.
There shouldn't be any damage
there as of yet, 'said Mr. Miller.
Efforts to control the spread of
army worm will be on an
my home city for the next three months. Belo
Horizonte, the capital of its slate, M inas

surrounded by mountains. In fact, the city
itself is built on a mountain. Many of the
streets are very narrow anti steep. The city is
at its best at night. From the top of the city
you can look down on the lights below and it is

from city in Brazil
-(Editor's Not : Sandra Hulley, who this year
completed G ade 12 at SDHS and is editor of
the Expositor's school page has written to
Expositor readers from Brazil, where she is '
making a return visit , with the Brazilian
student, Bete Maia; who stayed with her
family near Winthrop this winter, Sandy is the
daughter of Robert and Marg. Hulley of
R.R,1, Seaforth.)
Dear Readers:
,l-lere I am seven thousand miles from home
in Brazil, South America. What an awesome
feeling. I have only been here a little over
three weeks yet it feels like a much longer
time than that. So much has happened during
this time. I have met so many different people
and done so many different things that I feel I
should write home and share all my
experiences. What better way to do this than
through the local newspaper? I will start fram
the beginning.
This past winter, for three months, my
family and I hosted one of the three Brazilian
students who came to live in the Seaforth area
for 'three months. Bete Maia is probably a
friend of many who are reading this right now
as she 'met and delighted many people in the
area during her stay. Now I am returning this
exchange and I am staying in her home 'for
three months. I arrived in Rio de Janeiro on
May 30. I came by plane from Toronto via New
York and from there a ten hour trip to Rio.
Bete and her brother were waiting for me in
Rio. Bete's home, Belo Horizonte, is about
600 miles northwest of Rio so we did not spend

Tuckersmith Township Council
gave approval for tenders to be

Brucefield Tuesday night. This is
subject to the final approval of the
Ministry of Transportation and

During..the construction period
the road will be closed to traffic.

Thursday 'evening at an organiza-
tional meeting, along with several
Seaforth residents may pay
now or pay later, but as far as the
Sewer Liaison Committee is
concerned residents will pay the
sewer frontage and connection
fees in 1976.
Last Monday council was faced
with several citizens, angered over
being billed for sewer frontage
and connection fees before any
sewer pipe had been laid down
their street. The Mayor promised
to bring the matter up at the
Sewer Liaison Committee
meeting on Th,ursclay between the
town, province, and the
contractor. At that meeting the
provincial represenative agreed
that the town had acted properly
in billing residents this year,
'Legally speaking they do not
have to pay . until the end of
December," he said "And there'
is no way that interest can be
charged ratepayers until then."
Seaforth 'Clerk; Robert
Franklin, in a later interview,
pointed out that, the town was
only trying to make the burden
easier for the taxpayer by billing
them now.
• "If they let these installments
go now, they will be -faced with
paying the frontage charges_;
connection fee, and their taxes all
at once. We are trying to make it
a lot easier; -but' they don't
understand that. it is•ati awful lot
• easier to phy it in two little bits,
than one big one just before :
Christmas," he said.
Clerk Franklin said that the
town will have to .pay $72,000 to
the Ministry of the Environment
for the sewers this year and that if
residents don't 'pa.y their bills
until the. end of the year, the toyvn
will have to take out a loan to!,
meet the payments. This would
mean 'taxpayers would have 'to
pay the added expenSe of the
interest on the loan in Their taxes.

The provincial representative
said that $609.166 was the value
of the work to May 25. He said
that the work. was "extremely

any spraying here.

experienced widespread attack by

spraying program has been
carried out there in an effort to
bring the problem under control.

Dr. William J, Thompson was
installed as president of the
Seaforth Lions Club at a meeting
Monday night. He succeeds Leo
Teatero.
Other officers installed were:
vice presidents, Harold.TurnbulL ,
Gordon Rimmer and Marlen
Vincent; secretary, Keith Snell.;
treastifer, Willlain Hodgert; Lion
tamer, Ross Itipery; tail twister,
Ed Taylor; directors, Irwin Jiahn-

parents. Police Constable Ron
Lauzon, who will head the group,
said he knew of several others
who weren't at the meeting, but
were' interested ih joining.
Const. Lauzon says that he
feels there is a need for some-
thing in town for kids to do and
that after seeing the results of an
air cadet group that Was'started in
Mitchell he decided to see if he
could start one here.
Lieutenant Terry Williams,
who. is in .charge, of the Mitchell
group, outlined the cadet
program to the meeting.
If corps gets off the ground
Cadets may learn-to fly
Lieutenant Williams said that
the main idea behind cads-was
to get people, ages .13 to 19, who
have nothing else to do and get
them interested in something. He
said with the availability of
equipment and money supplied
by the Department of National
Defense, cadets could take
courses .all over the country in
everything from leadership to
defensive driving. It would even
be possible for a cadet to learn
how to fly a plane in four years
under a defense department
scholarship, he said, ••
Lieutenant Williams said a
cadet must first learn generally
about- cadets and other subjects
— engines, navigation, meteoro-
logy, leadership and citizenship.
He said how far one went in the
cadets and how much they got out
of it depended on the individual.
"If you want to join the cadets
that's fine," he said. "I don't
care if your father is the town
mayor or the town drunk, a
farmer with 50Q acres or 50 acres.
you Will be treated on what you
do."
Lieutenant Williams said the
cadet program was similar to a
high school club with slightly
more discipline. Mention of hair-
cuts for boys brought a groan
from several seated in the back of
the room„ However Lieutenant
Williams said the cadets Were
sensible about the"atter and ,
required only that a person could
tell if' one had two ears and that it
was off the collar.
"Remember, we arc not the
military. We are akin to it, but we
aren't the military," he said,
Lieutenant Williams- said that
girls were rather reluctant to join
because of the military attitude,
but they were treated very much
the' same as boys except they
didn't have the same hair
regulations.
Cadets - will receive some
weapons training with a 303 Lee
Enfield rifle and a.; 22 caliber
target rifle . under "Very, very
strict sup ervision," he said. 7
Lieutenant Williams said that
he always insisted on one thing
with Cadets — "Home comes
first, then school, and then the
cadets,"
