GAME POSTPONED The hockey game between Goder­ ich and Exeter scheduled to be play­ ed on Monday evening was postponed owing to the mild weather, LOCALS WIN EXHIBITION GAME The local hockey team got away to- a good start on Friday last when they defeated the fast Kirkton team by the score of 10-0. The score was no indication of the play, the losers putting up a good battle through­ out. The locals started the scoring in the opening period with three goals. In the second they added two more and in the final session netted five. R. Pryde was the leading scorer with four goafs, while Ken. Hockey, G. Cochrane and p. Creech scored two goals each. The kid line of Pryde, Hockey and Cochrane play­ ed a smart brand of hockey and worked up some nk«e combination plays. Cluff on the defense for Kirk­ ton proved a stumbling block for the locals and bounced the boys around quite freely.

I INAUGURAL ADDRESS The following is the inaugural ad­ dress of Reeve W D. Sanders at the Council meeting Monday evening: Gentlemen; We are assembled here tonight, as a duly constituted governing body of the Municipality of the Village of Exeter, for 1934, each having sub­ scribed ta the oath of office, as pro­ vided by law. Having sworn, that wo will per­ form the duties of the office, with­ out fear or favor, and strictly in the interest of the citizens generally. With that object in view it behooves us to safeguard that interest by re­ fusing to allow any undue influence to be brought to bear that would tend to favor the few at the expense of the many. I feel sure with your earnest co-operation, we can accom­ plish the people’s desire, and at all times practice economy with effic­ iency. In order to carry tnese prin­ ciples into effect I find it necessary to make some changes, namely, an all round reduction of salaries which has been a long deferred duty for which there is a strong demand rrom the ratepayers, to meet conditions, brought about by the present depres­ sion. It must not be forgotten that we are among the very few municipal­ ities in Western Ontario that has not made such reduction, and In some cases there has been a second reduction since 1929. I find it nec­ essary also from the fact that sal­ aries paid to our officials far ex­ ceed the amount actually spent on the maintenance of our roads and sidewalks which to my mind is not in the interest of the municipality in general. We must remember the number on relief is increasing and others on the verge. Such conditions would not exist if there were a more even distribution of money collected for municipal purposes. I also suggest that each salary be dealt with separately, because a per centage basis would not be just­ ifiable as some salaries should be re­ duced more than others. Now I wish to have it understood I am not find­ ing fault with the efficiency of our officials they are all satisfactory, all I find fault with is the cost to the municipality. I feel confident that such a re­ form. with many others, will give more work to our working men, keep the village in a higher stan­ dard of repair, and bring about a greater degress of security and hap­ piness among our people. Now to prove that I am sincere in my contention, I will donate my en­ tire salary of $55.00 to the relief fund of the village. The foregoing being the most im­ portant question to be considered at this meeting. I will make further suggestions regarding future under­ takings as the occasion demand.

W. Holman has receiv­ ed the sad news of the death of an elder brother, William Lewis Hol­ man, which occurred at San Fran­ cisco on December 4 last. Deceased at one time owned a very large car­ building and elevator business in that city but the earthquake of 1907 followed by fire, completely destroy­ ed his business and he retired sell­ ing his timber limits in Washington and other States from which he pro­ cured his timber. He leaves a fam­ ily of two sons and two daughters, his wife having predeceased him some years. This death leases only two of a family of twelve, Mrs. John Owens of Chicago and Mr. George W. Holman, of Goderich. The de­ ceased was the fourth son of this large family, whose parents, Lewis Holman and his wife Jane Bailey were among the earliest pioneers of Huron, making that English set­ tlement two and a half miles south of Exeter with Devon as its centre. The Holmans were not the only large family having only one of a majority over the Handfords and there were also the Bissetts and Balkwills who held a good reputa­ tion for population. These large families were all raised in the bush as we say, but all inherited good healthy bodies, got good .schooling and made good in the world. As the old family nest became .crowded these boys, especially the Holmans went West in the pre-Confedera- ion days, following an uncle, Joseph Holman, a brother of the father, who had settled .on the Pacific Coast in the U. S. in 1849 and had pros­ pered. Will as indicated above made his home in San Francisco. These boys, in fact all the family were playmates and chums of the Hand­ fords, particularly, and Mr. James Handford, of Exeter is the remain­ ing member of the older set and the two families numbering twenty-three altogether have been reduced to two in each family. CREDITON EAST Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Merner and children have returned home after spending Christmas and New Years with Mrs. Merner’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Rorky in Stratford.
