BRUCEFIELD
.The October' meeting of the
Brucefield Messengers was held
on Sunday with an attendance
of 40. A chapter of the study
book was reviewed with the
help of several members. It was
learned that Hindus do not eat
food prepared by Christians.
The children learned that.being
a Christian should help people
to feel more kindly toward oth-
ers, and it should help people
to face life with courage and
to know the meaning of "love
thy neighbor as thyself,"
The remainder of the' time
was spent preparing for the
Messenger Family program on
Nov. 15th. Glen McGregor dis-
tributed copies of "World
Friends."
Hold Thankoffering
The autumn thankoffering of
Brucefield UCW was held Tues-
day evening, ladies of Bayfield
and Goshen being guests. The
speaker of the evening was
Mrs. Jackson, of Belgrave. Mrs.
Elliott presided and gave the
call to worship and words of
welcome, and led in opening
prayer.
Hymn 10 was sung with Mrs.
Moffatt at the organ; Hymn 729
was read in unison, and Mrs,
Fred McGregor sang a solo.
Mrs. Plant read the scripture
from the ninth chapter of Sec-
ond Corinthians. Thanksgiving
Hymn 771 was sung, and the
offering was received by Mrs.
Ken Scott and Mrs. R. Allan.
Mrs. Plant introduced the
speaker, Mrs. Jackson, who
spoke on "Women's Part in the
Church," noting the change
since Christ's time. Canada has
led in the idea of women taking
their place among the elders
and on the board of stewards.
She felt it was a good thing for
the church; also that the women
of all the world were working
for the total mission of , the
church. Mrs. Elliott thanked
Mrs. Jackson for her message.
The ladies of Bayfield and
Goshen both gave musical num-
bers, and Mrs. Moffatt, Mrs.
Murdoch and Mrs. Mac Wilson
gave instrumentals on t h e
piano, organ and violin.
THE ONTARIO Agricultural College Dairy Cattle judging team again participated in
the National Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contest held in conjunction with the Na-
tional Dairy Cattle Congress in Waterloo, Iowa, last week. This year's team placed eighth in

leges from the United States.. Team members were, left to right: Bill Clarkson, Brampton;

'coached by Professor D. G. Grieve, of the Animal Husbandry Department and formerly
assistant agricultural representative in Huron.

The Mayor, Members of the Council and Ratepayers, ..
Municipality of the Town of Seaforth.
We have examined the balance sheets of the Munici-
pality of the Town of Seaforth and'its affiliated bodies as
at December 31, 1963, and the related statements of revenue
and expenditure for the year then ended. Our examination
included a general review of the accounting procedures
and such tests of accounting records and other supporting
evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We report as follows:
(a) Except as noted in (b)1 and (b)2 below we have ob-
tained all the explanations and information .we have
required. -
(b), All the financial transactions which have come under
our notice have been within the power of the Munici-
,,,pality and its boards except for the following:
1. During the course of our audit apparent cash
shortages were discovered in the records of the
Public Utilities Commission, and accordingly, a
special investigation of the accounts and records
1 -of this Commission was undertaken by us.
This investigation revealed cash shortages as at
' 'May 31, 1964, totalling $11,926.74 and probable
additional shortages of $5,584.43. Details of
these amounts have been set out in our special
report, dated July 22, 1964, to- the Chairman and
Members of the Public Utilities Commission.
In the attached financial statements of the Public
Utilities Commission surplus accounts of • the
Waterworks Department and Hydro Electric De-
partment have been credited with amounts of
$3,511.52- and $517.62 respectively, representing
unrecorded revenue of 1963 and prior years.
Also included in surplus accounts of the Public
Utilities Commission are charges of $13,387.43
in respect of the Waterworks Department and
$1,437.67 in respect of the Hydro. Electric De-
partment. These. amounts .represent cash short -
TOWN OF SEAFORTH
ages, including unrecorded revenue and probable
cash shortages, as at December 31, 1963.
Because of the lack of adequate control of the
revenue of. the Public Utilities Commission we
are not in a position to express an opinion on
the balance sheets and statements of revenue
and expenditure and earned surplus of the
Waterworks Department and the Hydro Electric
Department.
2. Because of the lack of adequate control of the
revenues of the Seaf,orth Community Centre we
are not in a position to express an opinion on
the current fund balance sheet and capital fund
balance sheets and statement of revenue and
expenditure of this centre.
(c) The audits have been conducted in accordance with
the instructions of the Department. of 'Municipal
Affairs. ' •
(d) In our opinion; subject to the exceptions referred to
• in (b) above, the attached balance sheets of the
Municipality of the Town of Seaforthand of its
affiliated boards and the related statements of rev-
enue and expenditure present fairly the financial
position of the Municipality and the respective boards
• as at December 31, 1963, and the results of their
operations for the year ended on that date.
' In accordance with standard accounting practice laid
down by the Hydro Electric Power Commission of
Ontario, the accompanying electric light and •power
statement of revenue and expenditure reflects rev-
enue for the twelve months ended Novmeber 30,
1963, and electrical energy purchased represents the
cost of power for the twelve months ended Novem-
ber 30, 1963.
