' AEROPLANE SIGN, Everyone knows v\ s that Seaforth, like other towns, has highway signs for motor traffic, but few are aware that Seaforth also has a sign for, the guid- ance of aeroplanes. Last 'Fall a large sign was erected west of the freight sheds at the station. It is about 100 feet long and 15 .feet wide, and is supported on posts ten feet above the ground. The name of the town, "Sea- for@h,” is painted in huge letters on the sheet iron top which resembles a flat roof. To the casual inspection the struc- ture looks like a partially completed building, and it has even been mis- taken far a pew chicken house: The sign was erectted by the Imperial Oil Company, and painting it has just been completed.
