Save Lives and Property Loss!
Your attention is called to the danger to life
and property from Christmas decorations,
such as draperies, scenery, cotton to repres-
ent snow, etc.... Displays of this nature and
the lighting arrangements in connection
therein, add greatly to the ordinary risks of
fire!
See that inflammable material is clear of and
not hung over lightning devices, steam pipes,
stove pipes, electric lightbulbs, etc.
See that electric circuits are properly fused
and not overloaded. Have all temporary
decorations removed as soon as they have
served their purpose.
REMEMBER! Nothing can render
these displays absolutely safe, and that if
accidents are not to mar the festive season,
constant vigilance and care must be exercis-
ed.
To Citizens of Seaforth and District We Extend Best
Wishes for a Happy Holiday Season!

Suit of discussions on co-

Forums m the Seaforth area
during the whiter of 1842.
Prior to that time, for about
31) ye. , there had existed in
Seaforth a Farmers' Cub. A
branch of the then existant
United Farmers of Ontario, the
club operated on a seasonal, off -
car, cash-and-carry basis, hand-
ling a limited variety of farm
supplies and fertilizer. The ex-
ception to this was an unfor-
tunate attempt at a full time
grocery business.
With the closing of the "Big
Mill, and the going out of busi-
ness of the owner of the build-
ing now occupied by Seaforth
Farmers Co-ogrative, there re-
mained in Seaforth no really ef-
ficient full-time feed service.
Faraters,doing buss ' as in the
town had felt the n of,such
an enterprise. Fhe demand for
farm produce, especiall live-
stock products, coupled with
the necessity of bringing In
grain to produce these commod-
ities to help, sustain Canada's
war effort helped to bring the
matter to a lead- •

A general meeting was held
in March of 1942 to discuss the
possibility of enlarging and
strengthening the operations of
the Farmers Club. A survey
committee was appointed at
that meeting, and- at a later
meeting, addressed by H. H.
Hannam, now President of the
Canadian Federation of Agri-
culture, Leonard Harmon and
the late R. J. Scott, it was de-
cided to form a chartered no -
operative.
