Two private tenders for sanitary plumbing additions to the Town, Hall, part of the modernization prograrn, were read by counciI•but not acted upon. Submitted bY lo- cal plumbing firms, Prices quoted were viewed with some surprise. Following discussion of the ten- ders, councilheld a short recess • to inspect the site of the proposed addition. The clerk was asked to obtain an estimate of cost for a venetian blind to cover the lenge window in his office. For standard size windows in the Town Hall, price quoted per blind was $7.50. Board Member Resigns A letter, tendering the resigna- tion of R. S. Box from the board of Scott Memorial Hospital, touch- ed off discussion of possible addi- tions to the hospital, now over- crowded. Seaforth is one of two Huron municipalities that have not yet asked a second hospital grant from County coffers. If they should decide to build, the hospital board could expect a grant of $700 a bed from the county, to a maximum of $35,000. In addition, a grant of $1,000 a bed from provincial sourc- es, plus federal grants, would ap- ply. The portion of building costs left to the Seaforth taxpayer would still be great, Mayor •McMaster pointed out. The discussion came only hours after Huron County Council had set policy concerning hospital grants to municipalities. Third round grants will total only $350 a bed. Farm Landis Exempt A by-law to exempt farm lands within town limits from certain levies for town .services was pass- ed on its third reading. It provides an exemption of 10 mills for farm lands, and property in blocks of five or more acres held by one person. Application by C. E. Marley Ltd. for permission to erect a billboard at Goderich and Coleman Streets was rejected. Among other business discussed was: Replacement of topsoil and reseeding lawn of Mrs. Louis Ab- erhart, Goderich St. West, follow- ing alleged damage by town trucks; purchase of insulin for town resident at 75 cents a month; prohibition of motorists from mak- ing U-turns on Main St. by swing- ing around and out of C.N.R. pro- perty without stopping. All members but Counpillor John Kellar were present. Members, of the Seaforth Cath- olic Women's League and . neigh- bors gathered to honor Miss Mary Van Den Hengel recently.

Snell First Presbyterian Church Men's Club held their eighth annual Lad- ies' Night Tuesday. About 90 per- sons attended the supper and heard a well-received address by the Rev. Harold Snell, Exeter, recently elected president- of '-the London Conference of the United Church of Canada. Mr. Snell said he felt a special connection with First Church be- cause his late mother, the former Elizabeth Hawthorne, had been a member and had been married there by the late Dr. Larkin. He urged the audience to ap- proach their problems in an orig- inal way and reject hackneyed, outdated solutions. Much confus- -ed thinking today stems from the confusion. of world conditions. Some of the present confusion among teen -aged children could be traced' to a lack of clear thinking on the part of their parents. Mr. Snell also had a word for chronic hurriers—those who have no place to go but want to get there fast. He blamed weaknesses in the church on such members, who could devote time to church work, but claim_they have no time. The speaker was introduced by the Rev. D. Glenn Campbell. - Music entertainment was pro- vided by violinist Frank Schubert, and a vocal quartette composed of Fred E. Willis, Dave Stewart, John Cardno and Harry McLeod. A toast to the ladies by Charles MacKay, answered by Mrs. Wil- fred Coleman, expressed the men's gratitude for suppers prepared and served by the Ladies' Aid through- out the, year. Remarks by Robert McMillan, club president, echoed the sentiment., Appreciation to Mr. Snell was voiced by Scott Cluff, on behalf of those present.
