The Seaforth News, 1934-12-13, Page 1Winter sings its own peculiar hymn:
Muted with its ermine tufted snows,
It lifts its silver song of praise
Where purity in spotless garment
goes.
It brings a psalm of silence where
Barren boughs have gathered in the
night

Ten million star -encrusted gems
To catch the dawn's glad gift of
golden light.
Twilight winds are low and reverent,
Chanting to the velvet deeps of Sky
And winter sings its song of praise
In minor note or pian tempest -high.

Mr. W. Golding, M.P.,
Seaforth, -Ont.
(Dear Mr. Golding, -ll wonder if
you could use your influence with
some people there who would get to-
gether a !bale of clothing and send it
to the people of this village. Like
most of the small villages they have
no money for ,relief and all the cars
that are donated go to people in the
municipalities and they are being
looked after too by the Gov't. The
people here in this village haven't had
a thing donated to them and there are
two old ladies that need clothing, one
old,man needs almost everything, in-
cluding shoes and socks, Then there
are several children who need cloth-
ing and :footwear, especially two boys
of 112 and 113 years of age. '11 we
could get a parcel of clothing for
these :people and if it could get here
before Christmas lit would be just
splendid, for Christmas in. this district
is going to be pretty slim. Both Dan
and I have done our best but it doesn't
seem to go very far.
"Thanking you in advance for your
kindness and 'Christmas greetings to
you aid, 'I am, yours sincerely, Mrs.
Dan MacDonald.
t(3dr. and Mrs. MacDonald are for-
mer residents of .McKillop and rived

Matters concerning what to do
about the Canada Furniture factory
and the Avon Chests tax arrears were
discussed at some length, but no de-
finite action was taken, the feeling of
the council -being to leave decisions in
these affairs to next year's council,
who will be dealing with them.
'Torun 'Solicitor sluggard reported
that the Seaforth Holding Syndicate
had shown him their agreement with
Mr. Boshart, and it was quite satis-
factory; the- Syndicate does not re-
nqu,fsh title for five years. *Mr. Bo-
shart will start production next week,
it is expected,
The relative powers of council and
court of revision in regard to tax ar-
rears were reviewed,
The letter from Mr. Nelson of the
Canada Furniture Mitts, was read to
council by the Clerk, making a prop-
osition for a new lease of two years;
it appeared that the CJI ;M. would
otherwise pay into court and let the
town contest on the old lease of 25
years ago. Mayor Sutherland said it
might ibe good business for the town
to accept the cheque offered, and .have
the town and company co-operating,
than have a couple .of years of litiga-
tion and a possibility of the fatter,
being turned over to ,the wrecker,

No one is putting up new factory
buildings these days, the Mayor
pointed out, and the town should pre-
serve the factory buildings. He cited
the cast of the sold caroling Hill on
South Main street, partly in 'Seaforth
partly in ".[ eckersmith: Mr. A rd -
erson of the flax mill, had been con-
sidering using it for part of his pro-
cess, ,but the taxes 011 the few feet of
the mill in the town are prohibitive,
theing four times that of the rest of
the mill in the township. Failing an
nnrcement, there is every possibility
the wreckers will tear the building
down, the Mayor said.
'Councillor Johnstone reported for
the property committeethat the sign for the town clerk's office door was
completed, also that the tower hall
