Candidates speak
Candidates for mayor, PUC and.board of
education had a chance to speak at Monday
night's _coensil meeting.
Present mayor Betty Camino asked for
support for a third term, citing important
decisions to ._be • made on
developmept, zoning and housing. Her
opponent, former councillor John Sinnampn
said Seaforth has to attract more industry to
remain progressive and that streets "are in a
pretty ill state of repair." In the 1979 and
future budgets street repairs, storm drains
and sidewalks should be considered, he said.
PUC candidate Doug Fryett, a partner in
Bothwell and Associates, outlined his
business. experience, which included
auditing town and PUC books when he was
an employee of Clarkson, Gordon.
Peter Kling, also a PUC candidale, said
he'd worked closely with the PUC "on many
tough projects" and that his business and
plumbing and electrical experience would
help him do a good job.

two years and I'd like to see some' things...

Board of education incumbent John

owners all this month
This November, gun owners who have had
illegal or unwanted guns or ammunition in
their homes can turn them into the Seaforth
police and there will be no questions asked.
'Also, if the gun is an antique or a souvenir
from the wars, Chief John Cairns said the
owner can indicate what they want done with
the gun, for example, designating that it be
donated to a museum.
A month long amnesty program for
owners of restricted and prohibited firearms
was announced last week by Solicitor-
General Jean Jacques Blois.
The gun control campaign was opened
with-a $350,000 advertising program in both
newspaper and on television,
Chief Cairns said gun owners can also use
November to register guns which have never
been properly registered in the past.
After the new year, a prospective 'gun
purchaser must have a certificate„.,of mental
competence and musebe able to prove that
he doesn't have a criminal record.
Even guns purchased from friends wilt
require a fire'arms acquisition permit or the
sale could result in the original owner facing
criminal charges.
Owners of rifles and shotguns, classed as'
hunting or sport weapons, aren't expectedto
hand these guns in. These guns also don't
have to be registered at the present time.
bist ChterCairns said this may change in the
future.
The chief added owners of hunting
weapons are expected to have them stored
away so they aren't accessible to children.

Mrs. Brian Barry of 155 Main St.N., in
Seaforth said, "Terrible. We just had our
TV checked. We're spending money out for
cable TV and only getting one station."
Mrs. Margaret Case of 78 Main St., N.,
Seaforth said, "We Oleic it's very good,
and we like it. We have a good reception
for everything,"
Meg. Jack Taylor of Main St. Seaforth
Said, "The stations are all very good except
Kitchener."
Complaints from ratepayers about poor
'Cable TV service in Seaforth' have prompted
council to send a lettle to Mitchell-Seaforth
