Act To Provid�•
Plansfor $ewer
Seaforth council, at aTspecial
meeting Monday evening, ap-
proved a route recommended
by its sewer consultants for a
sewer line to serve the new
hospital,
James F. MacLaren Associ-
ates, the engineering firm that
carried out previous sewer pro-
jects for the town, • examined
several possible routes, but re-
commended a line to run from
north of the hospital building,
westerly to meet the existing
sewer as it projects east from
Side Street. The engineers said
in a letter to council, the route
appeared to be the most eco-
nomical. A preliminary esti-
mate set the cost at $28,000 for
an eight-ineh line, including en-
gineering and contingency.
Area Fire
Calls Are
Fewer
x Seaforth Firemen' so far in.
1964 have '.answered 23 alarms,
Chief John F. Scott said this
week, as he reviewed plans for
Fire Prevention Week.
Chief Scott pointed out that
while there had been 23 calls -
three more than during the
same period last year -no down
fires had been of a serious na-
ture. ,
He attributed this to the ex-
tent to which Seaforth and area
residents are fire , conscious.
During the period there were
15 rural calls, including , two
barn fires and a residence fire.
Calls in town totalled 18.
During Fire Prevention.Week
'inspections of places of busi-
ness, schools and public build-
ings will be stepped up.
Referring to the loss picture
in Ontario, Chief Scott said that
during the second quarter ': of
the year, while the number of
fires reported was ,,less, losses
had increased by nearly 25 per
cent. Losses in the period for
5,641 fires totalled $14,184,049,
In the correspondingprevious
period,- the figures were 6,349
and $11,701,215.
During the second quartet,
41 people lost their lives due
to fire, and 218 were' injured.

E gmondville -
H as Anniversary
Egmondville • United Church
celebrated the 129th annivers-
ary of its beginning in this
community on Sunday. Histori-
cal records indicate that be-
cause the pioneers were anxious
to have a minister and a
church; efforts were made in
the early 1830's to secure one.
Inthe year 1835 a minister
was called and placed in charge
of three places-Goderich, Stan-
ley and. Ttickersniith Townships',
The first church in Egmond-
ville was built in 1850 on land
that is now the Egmondville
cemetery, with most of the
work being done by free labor.
Eleven years later the church
was enlarged ..to accommodate
the growing congregation.
The present church was for-
mally opened on February 3,
1879. The debt incurred was
cleared in three years, and the
present manse was built.
Few descendants .of the pio-
neers remain, but through the
years the good work that was
started has been faithfully car-
ried on by 16 ministers and
people who have supported the
work in •the church, in the Sun-
day School and other organize -

The anniversary services Sun-
day were led by Rev. Alan Scott,
who recently accepted a call to
be minister of the congregation.
Rev. Morley Clark, of ,London,
who is in charge of Religious
Education for . London Confer-
ence, was the guest minister in
the morning, choosing as a title
for his sermon, '"Salty Chris-
tians.". Mrs. Robert McKercher
was guest soloist.
In the evening, Rev. Clifford
Park, of Wesley -Willis Church,
Clinton, was guest minister,
having a sermon entitled, "The
Woman At the Well," and Mrs.
Mervin Nott was soloist. The
organist and choir leader, Mrs.
Arnold Scott, led the choir in
an anthem at both services.
Despite continuing, showers
that turned much of the grounds
into sodden mud, attendance at
the 119th annual Seaforth Fall
Fair was up over the previous
year Exhibits crowded accom-
modation in almost every de-
partment.
The fair Was o'f leially open-
ed Thursday evening by Mur-
ray Gaunt, MPP for Huron -
Bruce, who reviewed the his-
tory of fall fairs 'from the time
he was a ' 4-H member. "Fall
fairs should try for new goals
in the next 100 years," he said,
adding that they have been im-
proved each year.
He pointed out that Seaforth
Fair is the only Class B fair
in Huron County.
Gordan Papple, . RR 5, Sea -
forth, was the program chair-
man, and Harold M. Pryce,
president Of the Seaforth Agri-
cultural Society, .extended a
welcome to the gathering.
"I should like to extend a
welcome to all exhibitors, old.
and n,ew, and to . the Huron
Presbytery
Elects New
Chairman.
At a recent meeting of Huron
Presbytery of the United Church
of Canada (covering an area
from Centralia in the south to
Wroxeter in the north), the
Rev. William ten Hoopen, Gode-
rich, was re-elected chairman.
A highlight of the meeting was
a report on General Council,
which met in St. John's, by Sam
Scott, of Seaforth, and Rev.
Grant Mills, Clinton, who were
delegates to the meeting in
Newfoundland:
"The New Curriculum was in
the spotlight," they reported,
"and. it . was discovered that
much of the criticism of this
new material came from people
who read their newspapers re-
ligiously, 'their Bibles intermit-
tently,' and the new material
not at all." An interesting note
is that 100 per cent of the pas-
toral charges in Huron Presby-
tery have ordered some or all
of the New Curriculum mater-
ial; 85 per cent of the Sunday
Schools.
The call. of Blythh pastoral
charge to the Rev. M. Mathers
was approved; also the call of
the Egmondville charge to -the
Rev. A. Scott, of Regina, Sask.
Peter Lewis, son of Rev. and
Mrs. S. E. Lewis,.• Exeter, has
been approved as '‘a candidate
for the ministry and will be of-
ficially received at ".the next
meeting of Presbytery'.
A financial report revealed
that a total of $9,300.00 has been
paid to such projects as: West-
minster College, London; Gode-
rich Camp;.""Sing-Time" (CKNX-
TV); Alma College, and Five
Oaks Training Centre in Paris.
Also, a sum of $33,187.00 has
ben raised so far this year for, isiry must be in the office by

hand for the official opening.
