ANNIVERSARY The anniversary services of the Main St. United Church were held hn Sunday and were a decided suc cess in spite of the inclement weath er of the day. There was a splendid congregation at the morning service, the congregation of Caven Presby terian and Trivitt Memorial Church uniting with Main St, for the occas ion. Rev. D. C. Hill, -off Caven Church was on the platform and assisted with the service. The speaker was Rev. Stanley Owen, of Stratford, who delivered a very helpful and in spiring sermdn.

Mr. Owen took his text fr'om Paul’s epistle to Philemon, verse 17 "H thou count me therefor a partner, receive him as myself” Paul was writing on behalf of Onesimus, w-ho had fled from his mastert Philemon and had g*one to Rome to escape by mingling with the crowd of the city.

Traffic Officer Ro- binston investigated. The far was The very excellent financial standing of the Village of Exeter was strikingly exhibited at the open ing of the tenders foi' the purchase of $34,000.00 of Water Works De bentures and the $10,000,00 of Community Hall Debentures, at a special meeting of the Council held on Monday, Nioveraiber 16th. The Water Works Debentures brought a price of $105.00, per $100.00 and the Community Hall Debentures brought a price of $104.60 per $100.00. The yield' on this price w’ould be in the neighborhood of 314%. The Mid land Secruities Corporation of Lon don, Ontario, was the highest bidder and became the purchaser of the total block of $44,000.00. At the present time Dominion of Canada Bonds bearing interest at 4 % are selling at about $108.00 per $100.00, while Province of On tario 4% Debentures are selling at about $106.00 per $100.00. Taking into consideration the fact that part of the principal of the Exeter De bentures will mature each year, while Dominion of Canada Bonds and province Of Ontario Debentures have a fixed term the yield basis is approximately the same. On the prices received for the Debentures it means a total prem ium t'o the community of $2160.00.

E. R. Faulkner, of Sound, had a flat tire and partly off the pavement allowing room to use the jack on the pave ment. After changing the tire he was about to proceed on- his journey when he observed that a second tire was flat. As he had not a second spare he came to Exeter to secure a new tire. It was daylight when he left 'his car at the side of the road and in the meantime dusk settled in-. It was also raining at the time and Mr. Bert Brunsden on his’ way to Londesboro, failed to see the Faulk ner -car and rained into the back of it. The -Faulkner car was shoved in to the ditch while the Brunsden car turned over on the highway. Thya front end of the -car was badly dam aged and the glass of the windshield and one side of the car was badly broken. Mr. Brunsden was badly cut from the glass. One finger was almost severed and his face <and hands badly cut. He was brought to the office of Dr. Fletcher where his wounds were dressed. The cars were brought to the Huron Garage- The second accident took place about a half mile south of town. A truck belonging to the Wingham Transport ran out of gas and the driver parked the truck and came to Exeter for a fresh supply. It -was about 5.30 in the evening and rain ing at the time. A truck used for drawing cream for the Centralia Creamery and driven by Tom Meyers o<f Zurich, was meeting another car and the driver' failed to see the parked truck in time to stop. The side of his rack struck the back of the rack of the Wingham Transport forcing the latter partly into the ditch and ripping off the side of the rack of the Zurich truck. Traffic Officer Jackman-, o'f London, investi gated both accidents a^s Officer Rob inson was off duty at the time.

The funds the Debentures will be payable at par at Exeter which means that the Muncipality receives the hand some sum of $46,160.00 for the total issue of $44,000.00. It was stated by the representa tive of the bond house that it could place the total issue with an insur ance company that has requested the same, but in the event that any citi zen should desire to purchase some of the debentures they could be pur chased at a slight increase over the purchase price. The Co.un.cil before coming to a decision to sell these Debentures considered very seriously the claims 'of the citizens of the' community to the right to purchase them at par. However after giving thoughtful con sideration to th© matter it was con cluded the interests of the public would be best served by the sale at a premium which will benefit all the tax payers and water users.

In order to raise some cash to .pay Patterson Mr. Cal vert sent him to Exeter Friday with some clover seed to sell and with (some grain to be ground. When- Pat terson did not return at the supper houi’ Mr. Calvert became anxious and phoning to Jones & May found that Patterson had sold the seed realizing about sixty dollars in cash. The team had been left'standing in the shed at Harvey Bros, mill and Patterson was not to be found. It is stated that he was wearing a sheep skin coat belonging to Mr. Calvert when he disappeared. After phoning Jones & May Mr, Calvert phoned to Dr. E. S. Steiner to see if he could locate the team as the latter knew the horses. After visiting the church sheds of town he found them still at the mill shed. Later the horses were put into the mill stable for the* night. Mr. Calvert spoke very highly of Patterson as a farm hand, but it seemed as though $60. was too great a temptation.
