Plumbers Strike
Delays Changes
At County Home Discuss New • Grouping for Jui
Seaforth Hockey Prospects
The effects of a strike of union
plumbers is being felt at Huron
County Home, it was •revealed
Wednesday. Mrs. Martha Jacob.,
matron, stated that the strike has
affected the work of the renova-
tion of the old building, and that
the situation is serious.
Although the new addition to the
Home has been completed 'with
central plumbing, work on the old
building commenced only Tues-
day.
Everything was held up Wednes-
day as none of the half-dozen Lon-
don plumbers returned to work.
In all, some 14 patients, eight of
whom are bed patients, are ,incon-
venienced, and the hold-up has not
only upset the home's routine, mak-
ing more demands on the staff, par-
ticularly the nurses. To use the
words of the matron, "It has con-
fused our old people. They are up-
set by the whole matter, as they
cannot understand the predica-
ment."
Mrs. Jacob said that the new ad-
dition is now housing the patients
from the old building, while the
bed patients from the hospital
ward are now in the old building.
She expressed concern over whe-
ther the interruption might inter-
fere with the official opening of
the new addition slated for Fri-
day, October H.
St. 'Thomas' WA
Makes Plans for
65th Anniversary
Highway Link
West of Seaforth
Open to Traffic
Traffic began to move over the
new No. 8 Highway cutoff west of
town on Wednesday.
The new road, construction of
which got underway some months
ago, begins on the west at the
farm of J. F. Scott, and runs north
of the existing highway, then joins
the existing highway opposite the
residence of Roy Lawson, at the
westerly town limits.
While the new road eliminates
existing curves at Harpurhey, it
does not cut across country in a
straight line, but curves to the
north. • The road passes through
the farms of Peter Simpson and
Joseph Grummett, nibbles at the
northerly limits of several proper-
ties until it reaches the Beattie
residence. Here it was necessary
to move the residence a distance
north to avoid the road.

Arkansas Speaker Lauds Lions
As Club Here Has3Oth Birthday
Members of the Seaforth Lions
Club and guests. representing the
international organization and dis-
trict clubs, marked the thirtieth
anniversary of the founding of the
club at a banquet in the Commun-
ity Centre Monday evening.
Edward G. Barry, vice-president
of Lions alnternational, who came
from Little Rock, Arkansas, to
join Seaforth Lions at their birth-
day party, reminded the gathering
that a birthday celebration is in
fact an opportunity to pause. to -
assess past efforts, and to plan for
the future. It is an occasion that
inspires hope for continued ser-
vice, he told the Lions, as he re-
called the record the Seaforth
Club has established in its 31.4yeear
history.
Increasing interest in Lionism,
he said, was indicated in the
steady growth in membership. un-
til today the Lions organization
was the largest service•club in the
world. It indicated, too. the fact
that Lionism is premised on char-
acter, is built on service. It holds
the freedom of man as being para-
mount, and with this is knowledge
that the only effective means of
controlling man is from within,
through religion. Only by this
means can freedom be assured.
Lionism Is a force for peace.
The situation in the world, the
speaker pointed out, is such that
it becomes the responsibility' of
every Lion to approach his. mem-
bership with seriousness. Too fre-
quently Lions regard their mem-
bership as a stepping stone to of-
fice, or to recognition, rather

length the hockey sittlation ,that
would exist in town It was indi-
cated the juniOr `13' hockey come'
mittee of the association waS
ready to commence practises as
soon as ice was available in the
arena. The meeting was told ice
was expected in perhaps 10 days.
New grouping arrangements for
the Juniors were mooted., and the
meeting was agreed changes were
desirable in view of the distances
involved in last year's group.
While no decision has been tak-
en, it is considered likely that two
groups would function and play an
interlocking schedule. In one
would be Seaforth, Waterloo and
Guelph. In the other, the teams
would include London, .Woodstoek,
Brantford and Chatham.
While top interest centred on
the Junior 'B' picture, the meeting
did not lose sight of the necessity
of actively continuing its Bantam
and Midget program.
Carnion Rowcliffe will again
manage the Bantam team, while
Gordon McGonigle and Hugh
Thompson will handle the Mid-
gets, John Baldwin and "Farmer"
McFadden are manager and coach
respectively of the junior entry.
Possibility that Seaforth would
have a recreational, director was
seen. as Past President John A.
Baldwih told of the success which
had followed the creation of simi-
lar positions in other district
towns. Action must' come from
Town Council before such a recrea-
tional program would becom elig-
ible for a provincial grant of one-
third of the cost up to a specified
maximum. While it was suggest-
ed the meeting should adopt a reso-
lution urging the Town Council to
set a recreational program in mo-
tion, no action was taken. In. -
stead, the proposal was referred to
the. associatipn executive for fu
ther investigation and action, if
desirable.
A special committee, including
Leo Stephenson and Wm. Smith,
was named to consult with the
arena management, concerning
availability of ice.
