Petition
"Protests
Parking
?There is no foundation to
rumors that a parking lot is
t be established on John St.,
according to'Franl5 Kling, chair -
Man of the board of managers
of First Presbyterian Church.
He was referring to a petition
protesting a parking lot which
ad been considered by Sea -
forth council Monday evening.
Mr. Kling said that when the
Hawthorne property, which ad-
joins First Church property,
came on the market, it had
been suggested by a number of
.church. members . that it would
be a wise move to purchase the
property in the event require=
merits for it might arise in the
future. Since there was not
time to raise the matter with
the 'congregation, 'a number of
members . had arranged person-
ally, to make the .purchase, .to.
protect the church interests 'in
the event the congregation
wished to use the property, or
a part of it. As of now, he
said, the congregation was in
no way •involved.
- Referring to suggestions that
had, been advanced, he said at
no time was there any inten-
tion to remove the present resi-
dence. However, the rear por-
tion Of the property could pro-
vide some additional parking,
since it abetted present church
parking facilities.

Full Information
Seaforth Council Monday
night agreed full information
should be provided in the ,ev-
ent an application for a build-
ing permit was received in con-
nection with a John Street pro-
perty. A petition, representing
16 area ratepayers, had re-
quested that no building per-
mit be issued for a parking lot.
-' Discussion revealed , that the
petition had circulated when a
group had purchased the for-
mer Hawthorne residence, and
it had been rumored the house
was to be removed to create
space for use as a parking lot
for nearby First Presbyterian
Church.
Parking is Problem
Recognizing that church park-
ing ,yss-� becoming an increas-
ing th.oblem, Reeve Cardno sug-
gested the two Goderich Street
churches would have been wise
to have bought the former pub-
lic school property as a com-
mon , parking lot.
"It looks like foresight to
me. It seems better to have
proper parking facilities than
to 'have cars .crowding streets
and driveways," Councillor. J.

A STORM described by eyewitnesses as a baby twister,
. struck parts of Seaforth and Harpurhey early Friday eve-
ning and left a trail of fallen trees and tangled hydro and •
phone wires. Traffic was .closed through Harpurhey when
trees fell across the highway and hydro was off in much of •
Seaforth as hydro wires on North Main Street and East Wil-
liam Street were toppled. A large tent, at the. Lions carnival
was blown down. While Seaforth braced against the winds,.
in Egmondville, less than a mile away, a resident said there
wasn't "enough wind to blow out a match." Above, crews
work to clear the l=farpurhey highway. (Expositor photo by

Provision for auxiliary police
to be available in tine Qf em-
ergency and as a relief pool"of
trained personnel for the legal
force, was made Monday night.
Despite reservations 'by Council-
lors Flannery and Turnbull,
council adopted a bylaw creat-
ing an emergency measures or-
ganization for the town.
The bylaw, patterned .after
the Huron County bylaw, was
recommended by Huron EMO
co-ordinator ' Stewart Forbes,
when he met council two
months ago. Seaforth is the
second Huron town to adopt
the bylaw, the first being Gode-
rich.
Mayor MacLean reminded
council. the EMO co-ordinator
had discussed the bylaw with
council in June. At that time
council had asked a draft by-
law be made available for
study.
Discussion revealed while the
bylaw had been received, it', had"
not been considered by any .
committee in the interval and
there was doubt as to which
committee . it had been. refer-
red. The question -arose again •
when the co-ordinator, during a
recent visit urged early action.
Apart from authority which
the bylaw gives to outside ag
encies to control Seaforth per-
sonnel under certain circum-
stances, the main interest here
is in the provision of auxiliary
police and later, of a radio
communications system to con-
nect Huron urban municipal
clerks,
Suggests More Study
Suggesting there should be
detailed consideration of the
long bylaw before it was adopt-
ed,'Councillor Flannery said he
would prefer it be held over
for another meeting and "go
over it olause by clause."
Deputy Reeve Dation, a mem-
ber of the Huron EMO Com-
iittee, said the county provid-
ed uniforms for auxiliary, po-
lice. There was no cost to the
town. Seaforth is entitled to
four additional constables, who
would receive training . three
hours , weekly by Chief Con-
stable Gordon Hulley, starting
Sept. 1.
