up to date on the highlights of
your school year, 1953-54. Although
it was a year of steady action, it
was not as activated as some of
the previous. By saying this, I
don't mean that it was dull; on
the contrary, something was wild-
ing the interests all the time. No
one or two features were a com-
plete standout.
The Fall Terms
Starting the bale rolling was the
election of the ,Students' Council.
School spirit stepped to the fore-
front in the hard-fought battle for
president, secretary and treasurer's
positions. When the storm had
cleared, Jim Flannigan was sitting
in the president's chair, with Sheila
:McFadden and John McGavin as
his cohorts. The first council
meeting spelt misery for the First
Formers. Initiation was the theme
of tthe meeting, and before it was
over the frosh had travelled rug-
ged paths. The weird wonders
wandering around the streets the
following week assured the local
Seaforthites that High School was

the meters would be helpful.

Reeve Scoins appreciated the
problem that existed. As far as he
himself was concerned, he didn't
like them in other centres when
he found it necessary to use a park-

clamation to this ef-
reased Grant
Appearing as a delegation on be-
half of the Seaforth Agricultural
Society, Russell Bolton and Earl
McSpadden asked Council for a
grant. It was pointed out that in
previous years Seaforth had con-
tributed a grant of $150 to the so-
ciety, but because of additional ex-
penses with which the society was
faced, it was hoped that Council
would find it possible to increase
the grant to $300. Council was told
that the town of Clinton and the
village of Brussels each contribut-
k' �$
giviiG9Wti~ALxI.Us a ee k
lil850`, ° 6 1 c, a„�
ed $300 to agricultural societies• in
those communities.
In answer to a query as to whe-
ther anything in particular was
planned for this year's fair, Mr.
Bolton told council that again there
would be an outstanding cattle dim
play, including the Hereford Reg-
ional
egional Show, the Jersey parish show
and the 4-H Calf Club. Mrs. Grum-
mett, former secretary of the so-
ciety, added that next year the so-
ciety would mark its 110th anni-
versary,
nniversary, and as such was the oldest
agricultural society in Huron Coun-
ty. When the delegation had retir-
ed, Council discussed the request.
Reeve Scoins was under the opin-
ion
pinion that '"in view of the financial
circumstances of the town, he
didn't think that the Society would
expect any more this year. On the
other hand, Councillor Leslie point-
ed
ointed out that the town, after all, de-
pends on the agricultural commun-
ity
ommunity which surrounds it. If it was
possible at all, he would hope that
the grant would be increased.
Town Reaps Benefit
Councillor Close felt that in view
of the way taxes are increasing,
very careful consideration would be
necessary to any increase in the
grant. Mayor McMaster added that,
in his opinion, he didn't think the
town could afford $300.
It was painted out that the town
had benefitted to a great extent as
a result of the good -will w:ueh it
created when a grant had been
given to the Huron. County Beed
Show last year. Reeve Sco'-s. told
council that the County as n Nvhole
is more responsible for agricultur- acct., $2; Receiver General of Can-
al matters than is an url:;t,, corn- ada„ $16.50; T.'Pryde, acct., $6.55;
munity, but despite this grants to Watson & Reid, acct., $69-27; Re -
agricultural societies had been re- ceiver General of Canada, acct.,
duced by half by the County this $10; Seaforth Highlanders Band,
year. This. was because county ex- gyne -halt grant, $350; Bell Tele-;
penses had been so heavy, and it phone Co., acct., $29.80; McConnell '
had been necessary to cut some &' Hays, acct., $105.90; Treasurer of
place. "On the other hand," Coun-
cillor Sharpe said, "there's one way
to look at it, and that is that the
agricultural society is a form of
advertising for the town. If people
don't know about Seaforth and
.don't continue to do business here,
then the whole town suffers." Coun-
cillor Scott suggested a compromise
of $200. He pointed out that prim-
arily the townships were more in-
terested, or should be more inter-
ested, in the agricultural society
than was the town, and yet the
town always gave the larger grant.
"The fair has increased and im-
proved a great deal in the last two
or three years and it certainly
should be encouraged in any way
we can," Councillor Leslie said.
Councillor Crich indicated that this
improvement to a great extent was.
as a result of the work which the
Chamber of Commerce had done,
and because of the construction of
the arena on the fair grounds.
Council adopted a motion estab-
lishing the grant at $200, but not
without some opposition. It was
felt that in view of the anticipated
tax rate, consideration should be
given to many of the ratepayers
who find difficulty in paying in-
creased amounts of taxes, Reeve
Scoins and Councillor Close said.
As Council was about to adjourn,
Mr. Christie reverted` to tWe steps
which were being taken in con-
nection with the proposed sewage
system, and indicated that in his
opinion, the public should be in-
formed more fully of the proposed
work. Councillor Sharpe agreed
with him and said that, he under-
stood that a letter was to have
gone out to the ratepayers of the
town from the Council, explaining
in detail what was proposed. He
felt that this should have gone out
prior to the hearing by the Muni-
cipal Board.
Letter Being Prepared
Ma.yor McMaster replied that full
coverage had been given the dis-
cussions by the press, and that if
no approval was received for the
work there would be little point in
going ahead with an explanation.
Even now, he said, we don't know
what the cost in detail is going to
be, nor is it possible to determine
what the precise cost on the gen-
eral levy will be. He went on to
explain, as was also explained by
the Municipal Board, that of neces-
sity there must be a variable in
the rate structure. "For instance."
Councillor Christie interjected, "do
those of us who live away from the
Main St. 'have to pay a frontage
tax, or do we 'have to pay for
sewers that are being constructed
in the back alleys?"
Councilrail Crich explained that
the general rate, that is, the var-
iable amount which is not yet de-
termined, would apply across the
town. The frontage tax, hdwever,
`our Mills
who will be served. He recalled
that Council had discussed a front-
age
rontage tax of 15c per foot, plus 25c
per foot where the lot is occupied
by a business structure. In addi-
tion, there was an amount equal
to the water rate. This, he
thought, would result in some-
thing in the order of $3,600 re-
maining to be provided for out of
general revenue. It was explained
by Mayor McMaster that this fig-
ure of $3,600 was not certain, be-
cause the actual operating costs
were_not known, nor, for that mat-
ter, was it known the amount for
which the debentures would be
Mld. The Mayor said a letter was
being prepared and would be avail-
able shortly. Reeve Scoins was of
the opinion that any increase in
the Variable should be borne by
those who are using the sewers, but
it was pointed out to him that this
was not possible.
Referring to stories which had
appeared in daily papers to the ef-
fect that a salt industry was com-
menceng operations in Seaforth,
Councillor Crich asked the Mayor
whether or not definite arrange-
ments had been made; and if it
was known that the industry was
coming here, Mayor McMaster re-
plied, "No, it's indefinite."
The report of the finance com-
mittee included a recommendation
for the payrpent of the following
accounts:
Seaforth Separate School, acct.,
$500; G. Mowbray, wages, $11.70;
J. R. Burns, acct., $67.50; A. Mil-
ler, wages, $60.30; J. Lansink,
back in full awing with their an-
nual ridiculousness!
Once initiation was over, atten-
tion was shifted to football. This
topic still remains very touchy, as
far as feelings are concerned Af-
ter a five -game winning streak, the
Golden Bears lost their crucial
sixth contest to the Clinton Red -
men. From here on in the battle
royal for the H.S.S.A. crown was
at a feverish pitch. After three
hard-fought, battles and the ques-
tioning of player eligibility, Clin-
ton was credited with the better
showing. During the gruelling
football series, school spirit and
public attention rallied to full sup-
port. .Alter a large number of ser-
ious injuries had handicapped the
team, it was this high spirit that
carried the team as far as it went.
No sooner had the football sea-
son ended than the Christmas ex-
ams were right on our doorstep.
Just before the soup started to boil,
Sadie Hawkins made her annual
appearance. The girls turned out
in full force with their pride and
joy, as the evening ended in one
of the best school dances of the
year.
All the midnight oil was burned
out one week before the holidays.
It was between this period of trial
and relaxation that Old Man Win-
ter decided to spread his chest.
For a solid three and one-half days
the county roads were completely
blocked, resulting in the entire
school getting a% unsuspected
break. During some of these blus-
ter -breezes, there was an energetic
little group battling their way to
school daily in a time -racing ef-
fort to get out the invitations for
the "At Home."
Here is where the first lap ends.
I will pick it up from here next
week.

Salt • Manufacture
Here is "Indefinite"
Seaforth was in the headlines
last week when a story, under a
Seaforth dateline, interred it could
be anticipated a salt industry was
soon to start here.
However, according to M. A.
Reid, who was listed as seretary-
treasurer of the company, the of-
ficers shown are provisional arid
for organization purposes only. As
far as he knows, no financing has
been completed.
When. queried at a meeting of
Seaforth Council Monday about the
matter, Dr. McMaster, who is list-
ed as a vice-president, indicated
the establishment of the industry
here was indefinite.
The story carried by the London
Free Press follows:
Salt will be mined here again,
after bores near the town have laid
idle for the past seven years. Sea -
forth Chemicals Ltd., comprised of
a group of Montreal, Toronto and
Seaforth businessmen, plans to
start production by mid -fall.
They hope the recently -formed
company will start with a capital
of between $300,000 and $500,000.
Seaforth was the centre of a
booming salt mining industry 40
years ago, and an attempt. to re-
start mining seven years ago fail-
ed due to high costs.
Introducing a new method of
extraction to Canada, Seaforth
Chemicals hope to produce salt
with a minimum of labor and cost.
Extensive Government tests in
he said, is for only those people the area have revealed an unlimit-

Engineers of the Ozark-Mahonic

drawing up blueprints for the in-
stallation of the new equipment.
:k submerged combtfition system,
each unit :is fired by butane gas
and is fully automatic. The heat
from 'the fired gas crystalizes the
salt which is blowen into a silo and
fully dried. The company plans to
start with one unit, which costs
$90.000, and later add others.
The equipment needs only one
engineer to operate.
Dr. E. A. McMaster, of Seaforth,
second vice-president of the com-
pany, said that the daily output
from each machine will he about
100 tons. One of the failings of the
company which attempted to re-
start the industry seven years ago,
he said, was that it used the old
drying method which took a maxi-
mum of labor, and resulted in high
costs.
He predicted a ready market for

amounts of the mineral from the
United States.
