This means that the bread winners of 61 fam- ilies commute daily to their work at this station. The exact number of depend- ent's is not known. Besides those living in Seaforth and Egrnond- ville, other families who live away .from the station :are locat- ed +in Clinton, Goderich and Ex- eter as well as in the =emend- ing villages. The largest number is at Goderich where there are 143 fatuities and 53 civilian em- ployees. ,Shopping facilities in Seaforth are used by many from the eta - tion +besides those who actually live here, but no figures are available on this point. However, a rough estimate of the money value to Seaforth as a whole, from those connected with the station and living here, ie placed at $12,000 a month minimutu, It is estimated that the num- ber of RCAF families now laving "out" is at present the highest in the history of the station. This is +because of the large increase in station strength in the past two years with its resultant over- flow from' the married quarters in Adastral Park. These personnel come from all over Canada from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island and as far north as the Yukon. • 0,5,0.
