Seaforth 12, Mitchell 9
Seaforth, d3osharts won its fifth
game in six starts against Mitchell
Legion in Mitchell Saturday night.
Deciding factors in Seaforth's 12-9•
win were their goalie, . McNab, and
Seaforth's ability to capitalize on op-
portunities. Saturday night they start-
ed right in where they left off in Sea -
forth, with nobody sparing the body
at . all. Early in the game House- was.
penalized for interference and • while
he was off, McLean put McFadden in
the clear on a long pass and "Far-
mer" made no mistake. Nearing the
end of the period Seaforth banged in
three goals in a minute and ten sec-
onds. Roberts getting the first from
LaBute, then Elwood from McFadden
and the last by McFadden frdm Ell-
wood. Roberts made it 5-0 for Sea -
forth on a breakaway to score unas-
sisted.
Wright scored for Mitchell to open
the third period on.a pass from Powell
but McFadden came right back with
bis fourth goal unassisted. Midway
through the third period Stock scor-
ed Mitchell's sixth goal on a pass
from Smith. Once more Seaforth came
right back, O'Shea scoring on a pass
from Ellwood. -
Weber and O'Shea started punching
one another, then most of the players
on both teams ended up in a shoving
bee. When Referee McQuade got
them sorted out, he gave O'Shea and
Weber majors. While playing five a
side, "Farmer" McFadden broke away
to score his fifth goal unassisted.
Peelings were still running high; Wal-
ther and Ellwood started to exchange
punches, so McQuade marched them
off with majors. Wright trapped a
loose puck in the .Seaforth zone and
-sifted it home for the Legions ninth

Roberts broke away to adore, making

The 1948 municipal council of the
Township of Usborne held their ins
augural meeting. Reeve Hugh Berry
and Councillors Oscar Tuckey, Wel-
lington Brock, Jas. Simpson and Verne
Pincombe took the oath of office be-
fore the clerk, after which the 1948
council was formally co'hstituted and
convened with Reevg Berry presiding.
Minutes of the final municipal coun-
cil meeting for 1947, held Dec. 16,
were confirmed as prinr}ted as were

(Officers and officials were appoint-
ed for the year 1948 on motion of
Councillors Brock and Tuckey as fol-
lows: Clerk, H. H. G. Strang; Treas-
urer and relief officer, N. G. Clarke;
road supt., Wm. J. Routly; collector

Council reluctantly accepted the re-
signation of Wm. J. Routly as asses-
sor. Mr. Routly stated that his duties
as road superintendent left him no
time in which tib' carry on the duties
of assessor. He felt that since a new
system of assessing was to be adopt-
ed under a county assessor, it would
be a good time for a new man to
start. Members of the council ex-
pressed the feeling that the township
had been well served by Mr. Routly
in the past and regretted that he felt
that be could no longer act in that
capacity. The appointment of town-
ship assessor was laid over to a later
meeting and till such time as further
information could be secured by the
Reeve county officials regarding the
new system of property assessment.
On motion of Councillors Brock and
Tuckey. the following salaries and
rates of pay for township officials• and
employees were adopted: Reeve $125,
councillors $100, Clerk $720 ($60 per
month), Treasurer $250, relief officer
$1 per month per family and mileage,
tax collector $100, caretaker $25, road
superintendent, 70c per hour, grader
and plow operator 70c per hour, oth-
er employees 50c per hour, mileage
allowance,' 10c per mile. Fixing of
hourly wage rate to operators of the
crawler tractor was laid over to the
next meeting.
Councillor Wellington Brock was
appointed to represent the township
on the Sauble River Conservation
Authority on motion of Councillors
Pincombe and Simpson. The second
Monday in each month was fixed as
being the regular council meeting day
for 1948. Council authorized the Clerk
to purchase all necessary supplies for
the proper carrying on, of the town-
ship business during the year 1948,
including 10 subscriptions to the Mun-
icipal World for township officials.
Election expenses were authorized by
resolution of council for payment as
follows: Polling places $5 each, depu-
ty returning officers $4 each, and poli
clerks $3 each. In view of the fact
that many municipalities have now
adopted the plan of holding nomina-
tion and election meetings earlier,
and that weather and'road Conditions
are often mot favorable for these meet-
ings atthe end of the y"eat; council
resolved to set ahead the ,date of
nomination and election in 1948, date

Huron CQ�Lunty Council on Wednes-
day accepted' the report of the Eiival-
ization Committee, thereby confirming
the appointment of Alex Alexander, of
Grey Twp., and, former warden, as
county assessor. It was also decided
to adopt a county equalization assess-
ment system in orderthat the assess-
ment might be completed by 1950.
With Reeve George Ginn in the
chair, considerable discussion follow-
ed the reading of the report.
Reeve J. McNab thought the sys-
tem would cost a lot of money, Reeve
13. W. Tuckey argued that different
municipalities in the county have
changed drastically and something
should be done regarding equaliza-
tion. High school areas had created
the necessity for new schools, and it
was imperative that a new assessment
should be got under .way.
Clerk N. W. Miller pointed out that
an assessment is due under the sta-
tutes and there are only two ways'of
instituting :it -by the appointment of
an assessor•or by the appointment of
a five -man committee.
"Goderich has its own special meth-
od of assessing industries. We have
to see they are not taxed out of ex-
istence," Reeve Huckins asserted.
Reeve Ferrish explained that Han-
over is highly industrialized and there'
were only three appeals against its
assessment, which would indicate sat-
isfaction, he claimed. On motion of
Reeves M. Johnson, of Wingham, and
J. E. Huckins, of Goderich, the report
wds;, adopted.
George Pollock, Morris Twp., ap-
peared before council to •=bject to a
clause in the tree-cuttar.e bylaw that
prohibits• the cutting of trees in a 50 -
foot belt along the road. He wished
to cut some of the timber on a stretch
of his property. This was the first
complaint voiced against the bylaw,
it was claimed. The prime purpose of
the bylaw is conservation, and pro-
tection of the highways "for the good
of the country."
Estimates submitted by County
Treasurer A. H. Erskine showed an
estimated :epo_itdtgre .- o€.;-_$208:859;.
estimated revenue, $212,532; estimat-
ed surplus, $3,682. This would mean
an estimated rate of six mills, made
up as follows: General account, 3.5
mills; county highways, 2.6; plus the
cost of secondary schools to those
townships not included in high school
areas. The `State for urban centres
would be six mills.
At the opening session of Council
on Tuesday afternoon, Reeve Hugh
Berry, for four years Reeve of Us-
borne, was elected Warden. He was
chosen by a caucus of the •Conserva-
tive members.
Correspondence read to the council
Tuesday afternoon by Clerk N. W.
Miller included a•resolution from Lan-
ark County seeking action to remedy
the shortage of feeds and the adverse
price structure. A. resolution from the
County of Elgin favors the nationaliz-
ation of sweepstakes to relieve the
high cost of hospitalization. A com-
munication was also read from the
Christian Social Council opposing the
Elgin resolution.
Huron County Temperance Federa-
tion strongly urged that the council
make representation to the govern-
ment to add the following amendments
to the Criminal Code, pointing out
that the county, which is under the
C.T.A., has been deprived under re-
cent legislation of these provisions
under the L.C.A.: "To make it an of-
fence to consume liquor in any place
other than a residence; that•no per-
son shall sell' or supply liquor to be
sold or supplied to a person under or
apparently under the influence of liq-
or; that no person shall knowingly
sell or supply intoxicating liquor to a
person under .21 -'years." -'

Benson W. Tuckey, Exeter businessman, who at an enthusiastic
convention of Liberals of the riding of Huron, was nominated as
candidate to contest the forthcoming by-election, ie shown being
congratulated by Hon. Farquhar Oliver (left), Provincial 'Liberal
Leader. In the centre is Albert Kalbfleisch, Zurich, President of
the riding association, and the other nominee.
Liberals Choose Ben Tuckey
ToContest Huron By Election
Enthusiastic C o n v e n tion
Hears Hon. Farquhar Ol-
iver in Fighting Speech.
Predicting a protest vote which
would spell defeat for the Tories, 'Hon.
Farquhar Oliver, Ontario Liberal
Leader, told an enthusiastic conven-
tion of Huron. Liberals that packed
the Town Hall at Hensall on Friday,
despite snow -filled roads, that the
blame for the present Hydro shortage
rests squarely on the shoulders of the
Drew Government.
The convention chose Benson W.
Tuckey, 43 -year-old Exeter business-
man, as its candidate at the by-elec-
-tion February 16.
Mr: Tuckey -won- the -nomination its
a close vote over Albert Kalbfleisch,
Zurich businessman, and president of
the Huron Liberal Association. When
the latter moved that Mr. Tuckey's
selection> -be made unanimous he. was
given a resounding round of applause
by the delegates which packed Hen-
sall Town Hall.
In promising pensions for the crip-
pled and disabled of the Province, if
a Liberal Government is returned at
the next Ontario election, Mr. Oliver
said they were the only group which
today is not receiving some aid from
the Government. He said they were in
a class who, through no fault of their
own, were unable to earn a livelihood.
It was time they got some aid and h
promised that a Liberal Government
would 'bass the necessary legislation
aiding the crippled and disabled.
The Ontario leader also advoQ_cated
old age pensions be given at 65'"with-
out the means test and claimed On,
tarso, with its great wealth, was ac-
tually contributing less today as its
share of the $30 monthly than when
the pension was $28. Mr. Oliver claim-
ed further that not more than half
the old age pensioners were getting
$30 a month. (Pensions are paid at
the age of 70).
The Liberal leader again put the
blame for the present hydro power
shortage on the Drew Government.
He charged the Progressive Conserv-
ative Association did nothing for three
years after they got in office to ob-
tain more power, though warned in
1942 by Mr. Houck, vice-chairman of
the Ontario Hydro Electric Power
Commission that a shortage was in-
evitable unless more power was ob-
tained.
"I Intend to be in this riding until
the middle of February enumerating
the political sins of the Drew Gov-
ernment," declared Mr, Oliver. "You
can't do that in a short time." (The
election is one month away, Monday,
Feb. 16).
As the audience laughed Mr. Oliver
said that he meant his remarks to be
serious.
"This by-election is the first test
of public opinion the Drew regime has
faced since it won in 1915," continued
Mr. Oliver, "and if I am reading the
signs right there will be a protest
vote recorded in this riding which
will spell defeat for the Tories."
Mr. Oliver said the Premier called
the vote as early as he could under
the law, following the death of Dr.
Hobbs Taylor, Progressive-Coeserva-
tive memrber of the Legislature.
"He couldn't have pulled it any
sooner," continued Mr. Oliver, "It is
plain that Mr. Drew was seeking to
discourage the Liberals.of the riding
by calling a snap 'election at a time
when road conditions would be at
their= -'worst and winter had its icy
grip upon the countryside.
"But he didn't expect that this rid-
ing would be humming with activity
on the part of the Liberals. That you
are not discouraged has been a great
source of satisfaction to me."
Mr. Oliver contended the Drew ad-
minisiration hadn't done a single
thing for the farmers of Ontario. Not
a single bit of legislation had been
ppassedwhich might have eased the
burden en the farmer, he claimed. In
contrast, . the former Liberal regime
had git'e'n cheese, hog and sugar beet
bonuses to the fermers. It was a Lib.
era" Covernment which paid half of

thoroughly. He was stationed in the
North country for 18 years, and his
talk was sprinkled with many inter-
esting and entertaining anecdotes.
The business part of the meeting
was conducted in the usual way, the
roll call being answered by "My fav-
orite magazine, and why."
A letter from Finland was read and
a photograph of the little boy adopted
by the Women's ,Institute in 1946 was
passed among the members. Both
mother and son are now prospering
and are in no further need of help
from the Institute.
The next- Institute euchre will be
held on Friday, Feb. 6, and an all-out
effort on the part of all the members
to fill Cardno's Hall on this occasion
