the marks of Christ Jesus
would be reflected in: their

felt.
The choir sang "The Lord's
Prayer" during the offertory
with Mrs. E. A. Featherstone
at the organ.
Mrs, R. MacVean (Captain)
First Company Bayfield Girl

Bishop Appleyard his chap-

stalled in a small belfry topped

cessional.
Frei k Falconer was intro-.
diced by chairman Ross For-
rest, RR 2, Kipper, as •a vet-
eran councillor who had been
with the township for a 'fang
tie and was iholairLg up his
end of the job very well. Mil.
Falconer .noted that be bad ser-
ved for seven years, since join-
ing council when he was 31
years old, and be expressed his
pleasure at working under
Warden Forsyth,
Mr. Falconer reviewed cost
of fire protection — at
the rate of $125 a year retain,
ing fee, plus $7$ torr each fire,
and Clinton at $200 a year, plus
$75 the first hour and $50 the
second hour on each call, The
decision ' to meet Clinton's
terrna had been in answer to a
delegation of ratepayers, who
requested Clinton Fire Depart-
ment protection,
"The assessment in that end
of the township is high," re-
ported Mr. Falconer, "including
a trailer camp which brings in
about $500 a year. I don't see
how the 1962 council can re-
fuse them fire protection from
Clinton."
•Mf1. Falconer said the loss of
sheep killed by clogs was three
times as high as the average
year, and the first time he
could remember that -the dog
tax did not cover losses. In
August the cost was $1,050,
just because the farmers re-
quested this price, the evaluat-
or agreed to it and the majority
of council passed it.
"This does not convince me
those sheep were worth that
money. Dr. M, Stapleton was
paid for 11 ewes valued at $40
each and three Iambs at $25
each, with no proof the ewes
were registered. Allister Broad -
foot was paid for four ewes
at $40 each and 15 lambs at
$25. I don't know bow you
could get $25 for lambs when
the top price is $21 in Toronto,
nor do I know how the d'ogs
could pick out all top lambs,"
said Mr. Falconer.
Mr. Falconer did not favour
raising dog tax one dollar a
dog, "because this would only
solve one problem: the money
end of it. With 300 dogs in
the township, why penalize all
owners? Raising the tax one
dollar won't get the man with
two doss to tell the assessor
he has fwd. Only solution is
to use tags, and destroy dogs
found without tags."
Mr. Falconer did not believe
there should have been any ar-
gument over the reeveship, 'be-
cause Tuckersmith needed both
line and Mr. Thompson. This
way one of them will be out
and there will be two new
councillors.
Victor Lee reported 'briefly
noting that more weed spray-
ing was needed, but taxes had
to be kept down.
Elgin Thomson hoped for the
day when the township had two
graders to fight snow. He said
there were eight loans for tile
drainage, plus four more ap-
plications. There has been $22,-
100 loaned since plan was be-
gun in 1956.
The Township gets only a
small amount of tax money, An

assessment of $5,100 brings the
township only $72 out of a tot-
al of $342. He was undecided
whether to run, although he
had bean sure he would stand
for reevet However, he didn't
want to be "out" with anybody.
Arthur Varley reported on
7,700 cattle sprayed. He urged
people to pay taxes early and
take advantage of discounts of-
fered. Mr. Varley explained the
road program, and how ro»eY
was apportioned. "It will be
rough getting along without
Ivan," said Mr. Varley, "He is
a clever municipal officer, who
knows and remembers the
work."
Ervin Sillery (named by.Mer-
vyn Falconer and W. D. Wil-
ms) hoped he would not lose
all hisfriends by standing for
council. He was willing .to go
,half way with anyone, .but be-
lieved reason and good judge-
ment must be used.
Ross Forrest reported that
the inspector of public schools
had asked them to consider
central school for the township.
Mr. Forrest hoped that since
the present build'irigs were in
good shape, they would be able
to operate them for another
ten years at least.
Vice-chairman Cleave Coom-
bs reported on iinprovemenpts:
two new heating systems in
SS 1 and SS 4; a bus trip to
Niagara; painting of SS 1 and
SS 10; painting basements in
SS 4 and SS 9; enlarging ,and
fencing school grounds at SS
9 and SS 8 and adding 26 new
desks at SS 7.
Bob Gemmill and Clair Han-
ey are 'the other members of
theboard, with Vern Alder -
dice added (named by Ernest
Whitehouse and Wilmer Broad -
foot). Jack Patrick (named by
Wilmer Broadfoot and Charles
Eyre) decided not to qualify.
George Falconer, the town-
ship representative on the
CDOI Board reported that it
was harder work for the older
members, when new ones were
added to the board; the new
vocational school section would
increase the work. He suggest-
ed that $5 per meeting was not
really enough: trustees should
get the same fee as councillors.
J. C. McIntosh reported for
the Seaforth District High
School Board, saying they sh-
ould be glad that the Clinton
board was willing to take on
a thing the size of the new vo-
cational wind. He called it a
great change in educational op-
portunity and very important.
"Actually," said Mr. McIntosh,
"this may cut costs because the
schools may need fewer teach-
ers in present schools."
There was no report from
South Huron District High
School board, nor from the
Seaforth Hospital Board.
