PEDLARS / FROM PAGE ONE This would avoid a license fee being set which wouldn't be in agreement with the B1A, "We're not against anybody doing business in Seaforth," said Bob Fisher, chairman of the BiA. But somebody strolling into town for a week shouldn 1 have an unfair advantage. We're proposing a license fee of 5300 per year." A person starting a new business must first pay a flat rate of 5200, which in turn is put against business taxes. This stops people from coming into town, setting up a business for one month, and leaving again without paying any fee, said Mr. Fisher. The hawkers and pedlars bylaw states that a license is required for people who come into town with goods. wares or merchandise to sell and who carry and show samples. patterns, specimens of goods and wares or merchandise which is to be delivered afterwards. A hawkers and pedlars permit is not required when a person is selling merchan• dise or produce manufactured or grown in Ont. And a permit isn't needed if Mich goods are produced by a farmer resident in Ont., or if such goods are sold for the producer or manufacturer by a dealer who pays business tax in Seaforth. "We're only concerned with the license fee. A hawker or pedlar now only pays $75 to do business and can come and go as often as they wish for a year. "But local business people pay business, tax, property tax and BIA assessment." A person who sets up shop far a few days or a week could be taking business away from Seaforth merchants, said Mr. Fisher, "People buy their stuff because it's cheap. But the merchandise could be ends of line and buyers don't get guarantees. And if people buy products, they don't have much recourse if it's defective," said Mr. Fisher. "The fee should have been raised long ago, 1t should be looked at every three years." he said. "The BiA isn't against business. But tsiders shouldn't have advantage over the people who support the community." LYNNE DODDS/FROM P.a. oN. records at the gates. Everybody who came to the match was counted. We were very happy with attendance. We didn't beat the best previous attendance records, but we were only 15,000 away." Though Tuesday was a bad day, Mr. Craig says there still was a good crowd. But he says the bad weather may have worked in favor of the iPM since farmers could not harvest crops. When people saw the tented city site on Wednesday, they were shocked. By Wed- nesday noon, things were drying up just super. The streets vJere dry and th a were no ruts. We got a lot of bad press er the Tuesday rain," say s. D WELL - "But we proved a point that we could'ck a tented city site that could take a lot of rain. We all adjusted very well to the weather," There were alhuR tto00 exhibitors in the tented city. The site was full. Plowing competitions and visitor parking was located close to the tented city. A nearby airstrip was used by 178 aircraft. "We had good comments overall," says Mr. Craig. Visitors said the people of Wellington County were very hospitable and helpful. Exhibitors were pleased with the match. Some said a lot of people were interested in buying equipment." As for the future role of the International Plowing Match, officials were busy at the match lust finding out what that would be. "We had six people on the site doing a survey. When completed, the 1,000 people surveyed will have answered a lot of concerns we have. And one is, who comes to the plowing match? On the first four days, we had a good selection of farmers. And on Saturday, we had many urbanites visiting the match." Soon, the site of the IPM will be no more than a farm field. Construction at the site started in Aug. And if the weather co-operates, Mr. Craig hopes all the displays and huge tents will be gone In two weeks.

"This is probably the last time we'll all be together as a group," principal Harry Scott told the graduates. "But that's a way of life and we must accept it." He said four years ago, there were approximately 80 students enrolled in grade nine. And the number who graduated from grade 12 this year was near the same number. "That's good for us," he said. "It's amazing the number of people who have graduated from this small school who have become successful. And you will too."

The snowplowing tender was awarded again to Mackin Construction Ltd. for their $34 per hour removal tender and an $18 per day standy agreement. REQUEST FOR SUPPORT McKillop council has decided to look further into a request for financial assistance from the Seaforth and District High School Girls' Band before reaching a final decision. "I hate to see us start this. It's not just the band, but then we'll have the beavers, the . cubs and the hockey teams....coming to us," said councillor Brian Campbell. "I don't think it's up to us with the budget we're operating on to give out money," he said. In 1982 the council assisted the band with a trip to Calgary, but they based their decision on the number of girls in the band from McKillop Township. Council requested at their Monday meeting that more information be gained about the,McKl lop representation in the band and the intended use for the money before they made a final decision. 1t was noted that the 1982 decision was not meant to set a predecent.
