Locates Photo of
Early Seaforth Team
Examining some old documents
recently, John F. Scott located a
photograph of an early Seaforth
baseball team, which he brought to
The Expositor office.
While inquiries which he made
in town failed to provide the actual
date on which the picture was tak-
en, Mr. Scott feels satisfied the pic-
ture is about 70 years old. He
thinks it belonged originally to the
Sate J. P. Bell.

Parking Meter Plan,
Meets Opposition
Seaforth Council's proposal to
install parking meters on Main St.
has run into heavy opposition.
W hile farmers and visitors to
the town, when asked their opin-
ion, seem to be about evenly divid-
ed, merchants in the main are op-
posed.
S eaforth Chamber of Commerce
discussed the matter at a recent
executive meeting and as a result
Lions Preparing for
Hallowe'en Frolic
A committee of the Lions Club is
hard at work completing arrange-
ments for the Club's annual Hal-
lowe'en frolic, which thisyear is
being held on Friday evening,
October 29.
Seaforth Lions Club will hold its

established at various centres in
the district to serve the rural com-
munity. A house-to-house collec-

Wins Commendation For
Work At Wingham School
In a story reporting progress on
the construction of the new half -
million dollar Wingham District
High School, the Whighain Ad-
vance -Times makes reference to
'the work being done by a Seaforth
r ontractor, Frank Kling.
The Advance -Times says: "The
plumbing and seating work is well
M hand, and the work of the con-
e:rector, Frank Kling, of Seaforth,
es, worth a special mention for its
high quality, according to the
architects."
This is but one of the major
contracts Mr. Kling has held
throughout the district during re,
eent years.
Winthrop - Holstein
Ordered To Replay
Winthrop Football Club was suc-
cessful in its protest following a,
game with Holstein on Friday, and
as a result the game has been or-
dered replayed in Brussels Thurs-
day night.
The Friday night game was plays
ed under protest by Winthrop, be-
cause the visiting team arrived
more than an hour late and the
game didn't get under way, until
7:10. •Play was discontinued after
27 minutes.
Winthrop is leading in the ser-
ie.s, but a win by Holstein would
tie everything, according to league
secretary Harry Bolger. If this
happened the next game would al-
so be played at Brussels, he said.
Council Holds
Special Meeting
Seaforth Council held sea
special meeting following its
discussion with Tuckersmith
Council on Monday evening.
No prior notice of the meet-
ing had been given the public.
but Clerk D. H. Wilson said it
lasted but a short time, and
dealt only with a discussion as
to the steps to be taken to
prievide an improved outlet for
Silver Creek. This action was
recommended by the town •en-
gieeering consultant, Graham
Reid.
SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1954
is having a petition prepared, ask-
ing no action be taken to install
meters. If is understood that there
are no lack of signatures.
Main opposition flows from a
conviction that meters will result
in a loss of business. While agree-
ing there is a serious parking
problem, •those opposed say the
town isn't big enough, nor the
parking situation serious enough to
justify meters.
Best bet now is that there. will
be no meters this year. Council, it
is being suggested, wiul decide
that since it is so late in the year
there would be little point in pro-
ceeding with installation, at this
time. This would mean the whole
matter would be shelved until early
next spring, when it would be ex-
amined again by the 1955 Council.
Hospital Aux.
Plans Tag Day
Plans for the season's activities
were made when members of the
Seaforth Women's Hospital Aux-

Arrangements for the annual tag
day, to be held on Fall Fair Day,
Sept. 25, were left in the hands of

Plans concerning the annual
rummage sale, to be held at the
Library on October 23, were dis-
cuesed. It is hoped that the public
will save - all old clothes that are
in a good' clean condition, and get
in touch , with a member for col-
lection.

Plan Organization of

Announcement was made this
week by Scoutmaster J. R. Spittal.
that a Wolf Pack would be forme
next Monday night. The Wol
Pack is for boys of pre -Scout age,
9-12. Meetings will be held every
Mcinday night in the Scout Hall at

heard Dr. Berry, Ontario Depart-
ment of Health, give his assur-
ance that adequate protection ex-
ists in present legislation to pre-
vent objectionable features.
Chairman of the meeting was D.
H. Wilson, Clerk of Seaforth, and
E. P. Chesney, Clerk Lif Tucker -
smith, acted as secretary. In sum-
marizing the purposes for which
the meeting had been called, Mr.
Wilson indicated that it was the
feeling that explanations "by an of-
ficial of the 0 ario Department of
Health were desirable. He added,
too, that the meeting would give
consideration to the possibility of
improving the lower reaches of
Silver Creek.
Reeve James Doig, of Tucker -
smith, speaking on behalf of the
township, was not aware, he said,
that tbe meeting was to discuss
improving Silver Creek, and
thought that it had been called
solely for the purpose of resolving
differences which have resulted,
from the proposal to inject sewage
into Silver Creek.
Agreeing with Seaforth's desire
for sewage disposal facilities and
the reed of a sewage system, he
said that Tuckersmith's objections
were as a result of the manner in
-hich the proposed piece of work
had been implemented ance the
manner in which it is being done.
The prime objection, he said, is
based on the proximity of Silver
Creek to Eemondrille. It was felt
that since residents adjacent to
the stream depend on the stream
for watering stock, it would be in-
cumbent on Seaforth to remedy any
difficulties which would arise as a
remit of the injection of effluent
into the river. Stock, he said, can

Reeve Doig inquired as to how it

moving in that area ft Egmoad-
ville which formerly constituted a
mill dam, and Dr. Berry felt that
this was quite a. piece down the
river and that a problem would not
exiet. Reeve Doig told him that
the distance was one-half Mile. Dr.
Berry went on to tell the meeting
that the proposal was not items-
sarily providing the final degree of
treatment. When additional sew-
ers were added, additional treat-
ment would be necessary.
"I have told Seaforth that a
greater degree of treatment will
become necessary,' he said, "as

No Alternative Outlet
Discussing the situation gener-
ally, Dr. Berry pointed out that
there appeared to be no alterna-
tive to that of the injection of
effluent into Silver Creek. The
only stepthatetflust be taken now
were to insure that the material
was treated so that there would,

Reeve Doig questioned whether
existing sewage disposal plants in
the area were as trouble-free as it
was being indicated the Seaforth
plant would be. He referred par-
ticularly to the plant at the B.C. '
A.F. Station, Clinton, which. he
said, was an up-to-date installation,
but which was creating odors and
which was resulting, in farmers ad-
jacent to the river being up in
arms' in criticism. It was found,
too. that cattle would not drink
the water in that stream.

inquired what action would be
taken in the extent that the farm-
ers found it not satisfactory and
asked the township to provide
them with a well.
If it can be proven that Seaforth
sewage causes contamination to
the injury of a ratepayer, then
Seaforth certainly would be requir-
ed to correct the situation. Dr.
Berry said. However, in view of
the treatment which it is proposed
to give the effluent, he didn't think
that difficulty need be ,anticipated.
Discussing the Clinton town
plant, Reeve Doig elicited from Dr.
Berry -the fact that it is consider-
ed to be a good plant if it is pro-
perly operated. Dr. Berry said if
it was turning out faulty material,
then the fault was in the opera-
tion. This, however, was contrary
to the advice which had been giv-
en Reeve Doig, wbo said he under
stood continual complaints arising
from odors in the area of the dis-
posal plant were being received.

Mayor McMaster, Seaforth, point-
ed out that the town had no altern-
ative to the present plant for the
discharge of effluent into Silver
Creek. in his opinion. while he
was not an authority, he felt that
the situation would definitely be
improved, since at the moment yaw
sewage was being discharged into
Silver Creek. He pointed out that
before the work had been proceed-
ed with, the town had obtained ap-
proval of the Ontario Department
of Health for the manner in which
the plant was to be constructed.
Sewers Must Come
Explaining that the purpose of
the meeting was to give proper un-
dersta.ndieg of what is being tone
Anil what is being planned. Dr.
Berry expressed his appreciation
10 Reeve Doig for the way in which
Se had presented the attitude of
Trickersmith. He indicated that in
all urban municipalities the ques-
tion of sewers must be taken care
of sooner or later, and agreed with
Reeve Doig that it was unfair to
oppose sewers in any 'particular
town. He was coneerned, howev-
er, lest any steps which were tak-
en 'would result in- harm to rate-
payers in. adjoining municipalities.
Retelling to the concern which
had been expressed regarding the
possibility of odors and other prob-
lems arising In Egmondville, Dr.
Berry said that he could not see
