Streets Benefit As Firemen Hold Practise Session • Seaforth firemen held an ex- ercise in hose handling Tues- day evening. In the process they washed down Main street and before the evening was over managed also to rinse each •other pretty thoroughly. With both pumpers working at full capacity and six lines of hose laid out it didn't take too long to. give the pavement and sidewalks a clean-up and in the process acquire practise in pumper operation and hose technique. The combination of unlimited water and a hot summer even- ing can be blamed if at times the practice session gave •every appearance -of a. water fight between the two crews man- ning the pumpers Hensel!!

The acreage involved was arrived at in a preliminary survey Conducted this week, As many as 100 farms may be affected. The survey did not attempt to put a price tag on the loss but did determine that damage ran as high as 100% in many cases. The survey was the outcome of a meeting held in Seaforth Town Hall Saturday evening and arranged by Reeve Elgin Thompson of Tuckersmith, when farmers affected by the hail storm met with members of parliament Elston ,Cardiff and Charles MaeNaughton and muni- cipal officials. The meeting named a committee of Reeve Thompson, Reeve Dan Beuer- man, of -McKillop, and Reeve Cliff Dunbar, of Grey, to inter- view Ontario officials in Toron- to concerning the crop loss faced here. In the meantime arrange- ments were completed with Mr. MacNaughton for a representa- tive of the Department of Agri- culture to visit the area. W. .A. Montcalm, of the extension ser- vice, arrived Wednesday morn- ing and with area Reeves is visiting properties where da- mage has been reported. The meeting in a far-ranging discussion sought' to obtain from Mr. Cardiff assurance that eastern farmers involved in hail damage would be gated the 1 same as western f Tiers had been treated. It wa ' indicated that on several occasions prairie farmers had been re- compensed for hail damage by the federal government ' Treated the Same Mr. Cardiff agreed the gov- ernment had paid for hail dam- age in the west where hail was more frequent.- Here 'we didn't have hail often, he said, and would think that if damage was such as to deserve consideration the same assistance would be given as in the west. He was sure the federal ' government would match the provincial gov- ernment and any other funds raised for the purpose. In opening the meeting, Reeve Thompson, who was named chairman, said a difference of opinion existed as .to whether steps should be taken to obtain assistance. There were those who felt that the losses eould have been covered by insur- ance. On the other hand, hail came but rarely, andinsurance was costly and was carried by relatively few farmers, Among those suffering damage in the present storm, only one, as far as was known, had insurance, Mr. Thompson said. "We want a full discussion. R is up to you people who lost crops to decide what you want to do," he told the meeting and added that losses in many. areas would be severe. On the other hand, he said, individual tamers had lost crops and stock in past years and there had been no assistance given. Fol low Procedure Hon. Charles MacNaughton, Huron MPP, outlined the pro- cedure laid down and which must be followed preliminary to provincial assistance being considered. The are involved must ini- tiate action and determine the damage. If damage was con- sidered to be in an amount to merit provincial aid, grants re- presenting 50% of amounts col- lected locally could be prevtded. First steps, he felt, was -fernier tlion of a committee to deter- mine damage and in this he promised full co-operation. The chairman asked A. Y. McLean, who had been a mem) ber of the 1956 committee which provided aid when a num- ber of buildings had'been dam- aged in a wind storm, to recall the steps that had been taken at that time. Mr. McLean said $2,750 had been raised by public subscrip- tion including $512 from Mc- Killop, $955 from Tuckersmith, $596 from Hilbert and $700 from •other areas. The county had contributed $700 and the province $1,725. A further $1,- 200 had been received from the Canadian Disaster Relief Fund. This had been distributed on the basis of damages as deter - (Continued on Page 4) Seaforth. Loses In W.O.A.A.
