'SEAFORTH FAVORS
GARBAGE COLLECTION
The result to date of the straw vote
of Seaforth citizens to find out whe-
ther garbage collection is wanted, bas
resulted in a vote of 284 in favor and
111 against, town clerk D. H. Wilson
announced at the regular meeting of
Seaforth town council Monday night.
All members of council were pre-
sent with Mayor M. A. Reid presiding.
Fire Chief D'Orlean Sills was pre-
sent and gave his -monthly report;
the brigade had two calls in January:
Four new hats, two coats and 200 feet
of 13fi" hose are needed, also fire bell
cable needs repair and the 48 foot
ladder is cracked. The brigade has
one gas mask and needs another.
Councillor McMaster recommended
the cannister in the mask should be
changed every six months to keep it
in proper condition. How long should
the fire siren blow was another ques-
tion put before couucil, and left to
the flre and water committee to de-
cide, with the understanding the town
clerk shut off the siren in the day
time and Rae Holmes at night.
Fire Chief Sills informed council
that the new fire truck does not need
any extra pressure in the town mains
and the big pump at the pumping sta-
tion will be run only at idling speed,
ready to give pressure if word is sent
back by the bre chief.
Councillor Keating wanted to know
whose duty it is to remove snow from
fire hydrants.
Councillor Close said the 'snowplow
sometimes covers them 'up after the
snow is cleared away from hydrants.
He agreed to give the street foreman
instructions to keep hydrants clear of
snow.
Reeve Frank Sills gave a little his -
toy about the fire chief's salary.
Originally the fire chief got no salary,
he said, but was granted $15.00 an-
nually, not for any services rendered,
but so he could provide entertainment
for bis men. In 1908 the salary was
set at $25 a year, later at $50, and
two years ago it was raised to $150
when inspection duties were added.

THE CHURCH -GOING HABIT
Did you ever stop to consider the.
fact that it is easier to go to Church.
every Sunday than it is to go only
occasionally? •
When-Church-goin is a regular
habit, there is' no debate about the
, matter: it is settled in advance. But
when we allow ourselves the -false
luxury of going !'when we feel like
it" or when the minister's sermon
subject looks especially interesting,
or when we have not been up too.
late the night before, we have open-
ed the door to all sorts of difficulty.
When the matter becomes something
to decide it becomes a debate. We
have to thrash out every week the
recurring problem of "To goor not
to go -that is the question".
The easiest method is to settle'
the matter once and for all, and
having settled it, to feel the satis-
faction of those who know'the.value
of regular habits in all phases of
living.
JACK KELLAND KILLED
IN ACCIDENT'
John Kelland, a 27 -year-old resi-
dent of .Seaforth, was killed instant-
ly when his car skidded off High-
way No. 7 and 8 a mile: and a half
east of Shakespeare and crashed
into a tree at approximately 3:45
p.m. Friday. Mr. Kelland was alone
in his car at the ,time of the acci-
dent and there are no known eye-
witnesses to the tragedy. A block
and tackle was used by passing,
truckers to hoist the car clear of
Mr. Kelland's body where it was
crushed beneath the right door.
Mr. Kelland had been driving:
west on the highway toward Strat-
ford. Wheel marks at the top of a
'rise about 50.yards.west of the Old
Homestead indicated the car had
skidded toward the south side • of the
road, overturned on hitting the
soft snow, and slid on its side into
a large tree. The car's chassis was
bent around the tree from the force
of the impact.
Elvin Lilley, Woodstock, first at
the accident, was unable to pull the
victim from beneath the car, Short-
ly afterward, however. Robert
Schaefer and Kenneth Weber, both
of Bridgeport, came up in their
truck equipped with a block and
tackle. The wreckage was lifted
from the victim.
Dr. T. B. Feick, of New Ham-
burg, coroner for Waterloo county,
who was called to the scene, said
death had been instantaneous. The
body was removed by ambulance to
Stratford General Hospital
Provincial Constable C. N. Ander-
son conducted an investigation at
the accident scene.. Dr. Maxwell Fra-
ser it the coroner in charge 'there.
A son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank.

was born in Blanchard township 27
years ago. He grew up and received
his education in that township. He
removed to Seaforth two years ago
from Mitchell and opened a store

election in the provincial riding of

servative, and Benson Tuckey, Lib-
eral, were nominated.

sent to hear the candidates.
Elmer D. Bell, K,C., of Exeter, acted
as chairman for the meeting, and each

ly conducted by both sides with sev-
eral cabinet ministers speaking in the
riding, and Premier Drew speaking at
Goderich on Friday.
On the Liberal side Farquhar
Oliver, leader, has been staying in
the riding making a vigorous cam-
