Councillor drawn away about once a e and Jim Flannigan each got 2 touch- Christie wanted to downs, while Keys, Sills, Joe Murray know if the partial disposal plant and Jim Flannigan got 1 apiece. would contaminate the creek. The engineer said he thought it would be five to ten years before it will be finally necessary to treat the efflu- ent. He thought the partial treat- ment system would be away ahead of the present system which does not treat effluent in any way, and no one could find colon bacilli in it. Reeve Scoins suggested putting the matter to a vote of the people. Mayor McMaster said the munici- pal board would not authorize expen- diture of over '$100,000 by the town. This would serve critical areas in town; other areas may not need it for a number of years. The hospital will need it in a couple of years. There was some discussion about the cost per year. This would work out to something over $8,000 a year. Councillors suggested that a mo- tion be made to call for tenders for building a partial disposal plant and for the first unit of sewers, known as Plan A and B. Council agreed_ The tenders will be considered by council at a meeting on November 16th. Councillor Close reported the work of the streets committee. He said that Wright and 'Leyburn had applied for a fifty -foot bridge over the drain on Coleman street into the property at the old flax barns which they recently purchased, 0 ouncill or Close said that there had been flooding at theBoshart factory. Councillors suggested putt- ing in a curb along the street. TOWN COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER SEWER TENDERS Seaforth town. council bold their regular monthly meeting on Thurs- dayevening of last week. Important business included the calling for tenders, for the first part of the work on a sewage system, ,also that Nov, 11 would be observed as a full holiday ,n town. Present at the meeting were May- er Dr. E. A. McMaster who presided, Reeve Scoins, Councillors Close, Christie, -Crich, Sharp, Scott, The meeting had been postponed from the previous Monday because of Thanksgiving, The engineer, Mr. G. G. Reid, who has been drawing up plans for a sewage system here, was present. He had a report and blueprints for a disposal plant and sewers. He explained that it was proposed to build what was known as a partial disposal plant, Later on when the town was in a financial position to do so, the rest of the disposal plant could be added to make it a complete disposal plant, The partial plant would really be a "chlorinator" which would treat the sewage with chlorine. This would render it harm- less for a period of three days, by which time it is pretty well dispers- ed. Mr. Reid said the plan for the actual sewers throughout town had bean divided into units which could be completed as the town felt the need for them and was in a financial position to carry them out. The first unit of course would be the one serv- ing Main Street which would form the trunk lines for the whole system to the disposal plant, which will be located south of the foundry. Mr. Reid said he would recom- mend that council call immediately for tenders for the partial disposal plant and first unit of trunk sewers which will come as far north as God- erich street, the work to be done next year. He said that if the work were done during the winter it would be much more expensive than if done in the warn weather, especially the building of concrete sewage tanks. The disposal plant will be located on a plot 200 feet square at present owned by Wright and Leyburn. This will be big enough to allow for any foreseeable future expansion. The engineer explained the opera- tion of partial disposal plant. From the sludge tank the effluent would flow to a pond temporarily until such time as a complete disposal un - Two converts were kicked by McMil- lan and 1 by Bill Brock. Seaforth now leads the way on the grid -iron. Clinton won over Goderich on onday by the score of 7-5. The next game will be on Thurs- day with Goderich in the Lions Park.

CROSSLEY HUNTER AT NORTHSIDE The climax of the recent Anniver- sary and Reopening Services at Northside Church came on Monday evening last, Oct. 1.9th when Rev. Dr. E. Crossley Hunter brought his famous lecture "The Skin of our Teeth". Dr. Hunter is a descendant of the Evangelistic Team of Cross- ley and Hunter of some decades back; being the son of the Rev, John E. Bunter, "It is a great joy to minister in a church in which my Father conducted a Preaching Mis- sion." delcared Dr. Hunter. A fine congregation greeted him and fol- lowed his address with intense in- terest. Using the modern play: "The Skin of our Teeth" which ran for many weeks on Broadway in New York, he drew many lessons for his hearers, employing many lively touches of wit and humour. But the main lesson which the play empha- sized he said was this; 'that in all of life's seeming tragedies, distresses and calamities there runs the wond- rous element of Hope'. Every act of the play could have ended in com- plete and hopeless ruination for Mr. and Mrs. Anthropos and family, but in the final moments of the act, something always happened to save the situation and allow the family to be saved by "The skin of their Teeth". For the Christian who has learned to walk by faith, this is a wondrous vindication of his constant effort to live close to God. "Hope springs eternal in the h u m a n breast." "He hath begotten us unto a lively hope." 'In the midst of the confusion of the world, the jealous- ies, the hatreds, and the fears," said Dr. Hunter, "God calls us to work, even as He did the Christians of the early Church, in faith, in love, but best of all in HOPE." Rev., John Stinson, Minister of Northside, ex- pressed the sincere gratitude of Con- gregation and Officials to Dr. Hunt- er for his inspiring and memorable lecture. Each Sunday Dr. Hunter ministers to large congregations in Trinity United Church, Bloor St., Toronto. Quite often he can be heard over Station CFRB in the 11 a.m. service. Councillor Scott suggested that Nov. 11 be a holiday the whole day this year. Council agreed. Council was willing to accept the old school building from the public school board, but said they could not build sidewalks requested on Mark- et and Goderich streets. Councillors said the Board had asked for the wide roadway that is now on the end of Market street near the new school. Councillors said nomination day this year will come on Nov. 30th. Councillor Christie said trucks were going into the •dump and haul- ing material away. He thought the town should receive any revenue available from the dump.
