DREAM TOO REALISTIC A dream kick from a cow was too realistic for an aged Exeter lady and she is now suffering from a broken rib and bruises. Dreaming khat she was again sitting nt a milking stool and that the cow was in the act of kicking her, Mrs. John Pedlar, of town, aged 84 years, in attempting to avoid the impact fell out of bed early Monday morning and fractured a rib and was other­ wise shaken up, A refrigerator car has been loaded at the Exeter station this week for Western relief and on Wednesday it was sent to Milo, Alta. A large pro­ portion of the foodstuffs sent com­ prised potatoes and turnips with a nice lot of beans, apples, and honey. Other farm and garden vegetables were in proportion and in addition maple syrup, canned goods, jars of pickles and preserves, flour and salt were stored away in the car, Many of the farmers have contributed quite liberally. C o n t r i butions amounting to $49.50 were spent in the purchase of potatoes, beans and turnips. Rev. Miu Elliott and Rev. Mr. liuht have been the leading fac­ tors in the loading of the car.

Mrs. Stanbury made a feeling reply expressing her thanks and deep ap­ preciation. Mr, F. W. Gladman, who has been associated with Mr. Stanbury for many years, spoke of the latter’s interest in all things pertaining to the welfare of the community. It was not an easy thing to leave the community in which one has been associated for so many years and had made so many friends and to go to a new but the honor which had been con­ ferred upon Mr. Stanbury necessi­ tated such a change and the best wishes of all would accompany the family. Mr. Wm. May, chairman of the Board of Education, spoke of Mr. Stanbury's long association and intense interest in the education. Rev. J. W. made a few remarks. Honored By Caven !

The decision cf the Board waives any objection that has been raised against the expenditure and also any irregularities that may have taken place when the vote on uie by-law was taken. The word was received by Mr. F. w. Gladman, solicitor for the council. Commission Held Sitting A sitting of the Board was held in the Town Hall on Friday afternoon of last week to hear the arguments in connection with the proposed municipal building. Members of the board present were E. W. Cross, chairman and W. M. Brodie. Under the present legislation it is necessary to secure the consent of the Muni­ cipal Board before a municipality EXETER COUNCIL Monday, October 26The Municipal Council met in regular session in the Town Hall.

Public Utilities Commission ask­ ed the Council to further arrange to -finance the sum of $6,000.00 for the Water Works Local Improve­ ment. Granted on motion of Coun­ cillors Morley and Hern. Carried. A by-law for the purpose of granting the sum of six thousandcan proceed with such an undertak- dollars to the Exeter Public Utilities mg as that proposed in Exeter. The ! Commission to meet farther costs in matters of Down also Church gold-headed the Congregational Miss Ethel Kydd for the People’s Guild and Mrs. C. on behalf of the Margaret Auxiliary. Rev. W. A. of Hensail, conveyed the the Presbytery. Mr. manner ex- and un­ Dr. Mr. the hall was practically filled, with the supporters of the by-law slightly in the majority, Mr. F. w. Gladman outlined the steps leading up to the vote on the by-law and exhibited numerous co­ pies cf the Times-Advocate showing the publicity that had been given in connection therewith. He had ures to shew that the number people voting on the by-law for municipal building was exactly same as the number voting on recent waterworks by-law. Ex-Reeve W. D. Sanders spoke in opposition. He said that the town was not in a financial position to un­ dertake the erection of the building. In 1934 Exeter had spent $5 00 on relief and in 1935 it had spent $1,- 016.163. The retired farmer and the laborer comprised 80 per cent, of the population and the business men I 20 per cent. Persons other than property owners had voted on the by-law. Mr. Sanders claimed that an article which had appeared in the Times-Advocate was filled with false­ hoods and uncertainties from begin­ ning to end. Retired farmers who had left their farms a few years ago and were depending on the farms for their income found their income 1 considerably reduced and were in a] deplorable condition. If taxation were increased they would have to leave, town. If the vote were taken ■ again' the result would be different. ■ Asked by the chairman how many ; had voted that were not entitled to 1 note, Mr. Sanders said he knew of wo and on being asked to name < Qhapt 233, .Section**65 and Sub-Sec. them Mr. Sanders named one of the h and 2 and Section 6,6. Motion bifegest tax payers in the town. _ | by Councillors Morley and Hern. A standing vote was taken thj)se in favor and those opposed to the new building and the majority were in favor of the building. Rev. j W. Down stated that the fair board; that those wishing a school gymnasium and those wishing a. skating rink were rallying their forces for the new building but that it was not in the interests of the re­ tired, farmer and those on small in­ comes to have the building erected and that in his opinion it was being railroaded through. Reeve Pryde objected to the term “railroaded through” and Mr. Down retracted the words. Mr. Down felt that the fair thing to do was to take another vote of the people. Mr. S. M. Sanders voiced his op­ position stating that others than the members of the council were pushing for the new building. He advocated another vote of the people. The commission stated that the main question was whether if an­ other vote of the ratepayers was taken would the result be different. The commission then asked if any ratepayer who had voted for ttee by­ law now wished to change his vote and no voter responded. Reeve Pryde in conclusion outlin­ ed the steps taken by the council that the council were not trying to dictate in the matter but as servants of the people desired to carry out the wishes of the majority. Mr. Rose stated that he had no doubt that the whole matter had been thoroughly discussed through-, out the village. That no matter what irregularities may have existed when the vote was taken on April 7th it was for the Board to consider whether any different result would obtain if a second vote were taken and by so deciding avoid the expense of another election. As it was nec­ essary to have the unanimous opin­ ion of the three members of the Board a decision was reserved. fig- of the the the the erection of the Local Water Works System was authorized on motion of Councillors Hern and Morley; the same to be submitted at the adjourned meeting Thursday, October 29th at 8 .p.m. The Clerk was instructed to call Mr. Frank Gibbs, of Stratford, and see if he would meet with the coun­ cil on Thursday at the Clerk's office The following accounts were read and ordered paid: W.
