Police Phone Extension McKILLOP Two Nurses Receive Caps A capping ceremony took place at South Huron I'Iospital, Exeter, last Monday evening, when Miss Jane IDykeman, Zion, and Miss Olene Godkin, Walton, nurses -in -training, received their caps and pins. A Valentine party With the hospital staff was en- joyed after the ceremony, Pancake Supper Debenture Rate Discussed A representative of the Bell, Gouinlock investment firm was present and offerers to give a firm bid on the Town of Sea- forth bonds. Council were re- luctant to do business as formal' approval had not yet been re- ceived from the municipal board. However he did make an offer which was off the record. He al- so gave council information how the bond companies go about disposing of these issues. He showed what things buyers looked for in a municipality's credit rating. Seaforth's deben- ture debt is getting over $200 per head, he said. Council look- ed this fact up and discovered the town's debentures now gross around $275.00 per head, Lon- don Life won't buy any munici- pal debenture where the debt is over $100 per head, he informed council. Others won't buy from any municipality under 5000 pop- ulation, and so on. Tax arrears are another consideration, he said. Seaforth's tax arrears amounted to $14.00 a head last year, while same bond buyers look for as high as 98% tax col- lections. The representative claimed he was making a very good offer, but council were not altogether satisfied, and felt the issue should be let by tender. Asked if this would complete Setiforth's borrowing, Mayor McMaster said yes, unless possi- bly a small issue to complete the sewer up Goderich street this year. This might amount to $25,000. Council asked why towns in the Niagara Peninsula got better rates than here, and the repre- sentative claimed it was the fruit belt, We are between beef and beans :here," Councillor Kellar remarked. Council wanted to know why towns in Quebec province get more favorable rates. Tse bond man claimed this is because of a law keeping interest rates not over 4%. Firms pick these is- sues up below par and retail theme locally at par. "Our business is -wholesale, not retail," he said. He offered to try and peddle the 'Seaforth bonds at a better late if council would give him an agreement for one week. This council was hesitant about doing and finally at the close of the meeting de- cided to wait and call for tend- ers- to give other firms a chance. K. I. McLean and Eric Mun- ro laid before council their re- spective plans for group insur- ance for employees. Both called for a minimum of ten entering the plan, and total cost would be in the neighborhood of $1000 per year which could be divided with the employees or not as decided. Councillor Kellar and Reeve Scoins said this would mean pay- ing twice as the town comes un- der the Workmen's Compensa- tion. Mayor McMaster said this covers other things and while employee is not working. Em- ployees would rather have this than a pav increase, he said. De- cision was left over to another meeting. at St. Thomas Church Seaforth Shrove Tuesday Feb. 22 (i to 8 P.1VI. Admission. 75c. Children 35c EUCHRE In the L. 0. B. A.

"If you want to spend money I think we should have a new three -ton truck and snow- plow." Cost for a truck complete with equipment is around, $8786, he said. ' A,. grand outfit could be had for 05000 which would do the plowing in a quarter of the time. 'Councillor Habkirk was dele- gated to see what could be had in a good used three -ton truck.

Communications Communications included a protest from Jos. Little, McKil- lop, over a parking fine of $1. He claimed he had double park- ed on Dec. 14th opposite the Co- op egg grading store for two minutes while carrying a crate into the store. He asked where was he supposed to park under the circumstances. Councillors Kellar and Hab- kirk said they had heard Mr. Little complain he got no re- ceipt. Town Clerk Wilson said this would be because he paid it before the duplicate card was turned in. Mrs. Sarah Swan wrote pro- testing ,that she had been asses- sed for two years for a lot sold to Mr. Dillon, but council de- cided it should have been ap- pealed at court of revision. As- sessment on the lot was $25.00. A request front Clinton seed fair for a $25 grant was tabled as council felt "Seaforth gets no benefit from a fair which is al- ways held in Clinton. If it is a county fair it should be passed around to the different towns, council thought. The usual grant of $40 was made to the 'Salvation Army home. A letter from Seaforth Old Boys reunion asked that ,the $1000. credit be made available. Also another letter asking that the Department of Highways .be asked not to have any highway work in progress at reunion time. Councillor Kellar said pre- liminary plans are being made for rebuilding No. 8 highway east of 'Seaforth. The Mayor said he and Councillor Close would be interviewing the department at Stratford and would enquire, on Sunday with Mrs. Taylor's mother, Mrs. R.

No,' 2, McKillop Farm Forum met this week at the home of Mr. and Mrs..Samuel Storey, Topic, Farm Marketing Abroad. Question 1, Do you think farm price supports should be designed to protect the farm- er against disastrous drops in price, or should they be high enough to encourage increased production, or should they be in between. Support prices should be set to protect the farmer against drastic drop in prices, but not high enough to cause over production. Question 2. Do you think we in Canada should set support prices higher than prices in the available export markets? Sup- port prices whether for home or export markets, should if possi- ble cover the average cost of production, plus a reasonable profit, or else the economy of the country on a whole will suf- fer. Question 3. Can we have an effective price support program without ancreasirllg barriers to international trade? A price support program may increase barriers to trade, but we see no reason why this difficulty cannot be overcome by means of inter- national co-operation. Conclud- ing discussion period a social hour was spent in progressive euchre. Results: Ladies, most games, Mrs, R. E. McMillan; lone 'hands, Mrs. Stewart Dol - mage; eon., Mrs. T. W.

We talked of course about the world With all its fear and hurry. In memory we scanned the years How long we had been living, And recognized with gratitude Good reason for thanksgiving. We talked about our early friends While we were reminiscing, And silently we realized Many today are missing. Our boyhood days were happy days, No care, no want, no worry, I said they surely were the best, And so did William Murray. It's grand to live a long, long life, Providing you are healthy, Some sacrificed this priceless gift In striving to be wealthy. We both were blest with merry hearts, Good friends, good health and a' that. We had our sorrows, ups and downs, We're living yet for a' that. We'll meet again, exchange a smile, Have friendly conversation, And from experience reeom,nend A life of moderation. -John Beattie Notice TOWNSHIP OF TUCKERSMITH To facilitate snow removal operations the public is requested not to park cars or vehicles on roadsides during the winter months.
