ering at the public school Tuesday
evening. In the absence of the
president, Mrs. W. T. Tea11, Mrs.
II N. Eastman. presided. Pterosaur
James Scott, Seaforth, was guest
speaker.
Speaking on, "Stick Up For Your
School," Professor Scott provided
the members with food for thought.
aThe place for criticism of the
schotel is here, at these meetings,
and not out on the street," he said.
Teaching new ideas in education
in the past quarter century, Pro -
lessor Scott said: "Just because it
is old does not mean it is not good;
because it is new, it is not neces-
sarily, good. Cut out the dead
wood, and graft the new on the firm
denudation of the old," he aaid.
Referring to the fine new school

After briefing council on resolu-
tions and other matters of Interest
occurring at the Ontario Municipal
Association's recent convention at
Bigwin Lea Mayor E. A. McMaster
turned the -floor to Finance Chair-
man A. W. Sillery.
$11,000 Tax Arrears
Councillor Sillery told the coun-
cillors that Seaforth's tax arrears
sheet presently totals $11,000.00, a
decrease of some $861 from last
month. Furthermore, he advised,
the current figure is nearly 11,000
below the total of outstanding tax-
es recorded, at this time in 1951.
Over fluff the 1952 arrears, about
$6,700, are owed by three local Mad-
ness establishments, the chairman
continued. This leaves a,pproxi-
empty $4,300 owed by the small,
private taxpayers, he added, •and
indicated that this latter figure was
not, comparatively, large enough to
cause worry. "I think taxes are in
•better shape than they 'have been
for a long time," Councillor Sillery
eoncluded, with the agreement of
several other members. Business
tax arrears seem to be the main
worry, one councillor 'commented.
Pigs is Pigs
Then about the pigs: In his prop-
erty report, Councillor B. F. Chris-
tie mentioned that pigs, in the
southeast end of town at the Eg-
mondville border, were making
nuisances of themselves as they
ran at large from a nearby piggery.
The pigs were endangering town -
owned fences, he added.
"Well," Councillor John C. Crich
observed, "pigs is pigs!"
Councillor Christie continued,
that since town property was in-
volved, charges be laid against the
owner.
"That's a matter for civil action,"
Reeve' Frank Sine replied.
"But when the town -places and
maintains fences, and they're en-
dangered, it should be our con-
cern," Property Chairman Christie
answered.

Ratify $10 Fee for Children
From Outside Municipality
At the September meeting of the•
Public School Board, held in the
school Tuesday evening, the $10 per
month per pupil charge for non -
ratepayers on the public school tax
roll was reviewed and ratified, with
the exception of a charge for pupils
attending kindergarten. This rate
was set at $7.50 per month for each
.pupil.
All payments are due in Septem-
ber, January and April, except
where such fees are paid by an-
other school section. As previous-
ly published, these rates are based
on last year's cost per pupil of
$110.69 each.
Total public school attendance to
date is 298. The original estimate
of over 300' was changed when new
rate,s were charged for non -rate-
payers. However, further enrol-
ments have been accepted and final
attendance will be over 300.
Investigate Overcrowding
There are now eight grades in
the school building, with kinder-
garten held in the ,Presbyterian
Church school room. Overcrowd-
ing in the junior grades prompted
the board to appoint a committee
of Dr. P. L. Brady and, John C.
Stevens to arrange more suitable
accommodation, if possible.
The board was advised that the
borne economics and manual train-
ing periods for Grades 7 and 8, pre-
viously held at the Seaforth Dis-
trict High School, would not be
avatilable this year. It was decid-
ed to set up temporary' measures
air teaching a minittium of these
desired courses with what facili-
ties were available in the public
school.
The rate of pay for supply teach-
ers, when required, was increased
to $9 per day.

Local Foundry Ships
Out Largest, Boiler
The largest boiler ever produced
by the local foundry-. Robert Bell
Industries, was shipped this week
to Montreal aircraft engine firm by
flat car. Weighing 19 tons, 16 feet
long, 12 feet high, and 7% feet

is powered by a 250 H.P. unit and
will function at 75 pounds pres-

The construction, taking approxi-
mately a month and a half, is of
haleineh plate steel, and boasts
2,520 square feet of beating surface.
It is oil fired.
