The matter of securing equip­ ment for clearing drains was con­ sidered. The Clerk was instructed to secure more information re equipment. The Clerk presented material which he had prepared regarding Village of Exeter for insertion in County of Huron publicity pamph­ let. It was moved and seconded by Councillors Hern and Sweitzer that the Clerk be complimented on the arrangement of the material and that it be forwarded to the County Clerk. Material supplying information regarding industrial facilities of the Village to be submitted to On­ tario House, London, England was accepted. The Clerk was instructed to write to Bickle-Seagrave Ltd., Woodstock in regard to defective reel on fire truck. It was moved and seconded by Councillors Bierling and Sweitzer that the Arena Committee be ask­ ed to see that proper exit lights and door hardware he installed at the Arena. The matter of purchasing snow removal equipment was given con­ sideration. The idea of using a plough in front of a village-owned truck was suggested, the truck to be available during the summer for the removal of garbage and for other Municipal work. It was de­ cided that snow removal equipment be inspected aS opportunity offers and that the matter be again dis­ cussed at next meeting of Council. Reeve Tuckey introduced the matter of renovating and enlarging the Town Hall. It was suggested that the building be extended to the East, in this way making room for a good auditorium with stage upstairs. There would be room for fire hal| in the rear and the space at present used as a fire hall could be made available for public rest, rooms. Members of the Council felt that this project should be given consideration. The following accounts were read and ordered paid on the mo­ tion. of Councillors Dignan and Sweitzer, Bell Telephone Co..

Future Gaines— Thursday, February 22-—Mount Hope vs. Flyers (this is the first game of the semi-finals and will be played at Exeter), The ‘Flyers will meet Mount Hope in the semi-finals, the first game being played in Exeter, Thursday night. It is to be a two game serie» with goals to count. The second game may possibly be played in I Exeter as well, probably on Monday . night, but this is not definite as yet. This year’s sQuad, while not as powerful as the team that won the championship last year are strong contenders for the honors again this season. The loss of Wally Wil­ son was a big blow to the Flyers. They have had no trouble in this league running up big scores in practically all their games. How­ ever, Thursday night will be their biggest test. Win From Stratford The Centralia Flyers in a home and home series with the Stratford Intermediates carried off both games. The Flyers defeated Strat­ ford on their home, ice 2-4 and in a return game at Exeter Thursday evening of last week they won 7-5. About 400 fans saw the nvo teams battle on soft ice. After the first period ended in a 2-2 tie Centralia took the lead in the second and then turned’' back a Stratford counter-attack in the third with a pair of fast goals. Sherritt and Shaw led the Flyers’ attack with three goals and one assist each. Hawk counted the oth­ er Centralia goal and Yeandle con­ tributed four assists.

EXETER OFFICER WARNS CORRESPONDENT OF SHOE MINES The following was taken from a despatch which appeared in the Toronto Daily Star written by their staff correspondent, John Clare. With the Canadians Inside Ger­ many, Feb, 10—This village of Wyler, which Canadian infantry captured early yesterday, is the first German town of any size that the Canadians have captured. The tense is probably wrong there. A provost I talked to while lie directed traffic along a rutted, muddy road, was more to the point when he said “This was Wyler,” The glimpse I had of it in my glasses through a smoke barrage from an artillery observation post gave no indication of the destruc­ tion the Canadians have heaped on this village of 50 or so houses. Cellar as Headqnartei’S Many of them are levelled to the cellars. Here and there a jagged stump of wall remains, or some roofs, stripped bare until the rafters show through like the ribs of a skeleton. “Is this the best place you could find?” I asked men of a western regiment which shared in the cap­ ture of Wyler. They had set up their company headquarters in a cellar choked with debris. Above them was the tangled mass of what happens to a house when a barrage drops on it. “This is the only place we could find,” said Pte. Bill Imhoff of Bath­ urst, N.B. This company came into Wyler under command of Lieut. Ed. Lord of Montreal when the company commander was hit. It started out behind the big barrage laid down by the artillery. “We had to cross an open space of about 1,500 yards and we tucked ourselves right in behind that beau­ tiful barrage,” said Bill, “We walk­ ed along about 200 yards behind it and when it lifted we went for­ ward. All we really had to worry about was mines and there were plenty of them. Most of them were those wooden shoe mines in wooden boxes about the size of a shoe box. We were lucky and one of our boys who stepped right on one got only a broken leg.” Forced Back By Snipers They fought all the way to Wyler. Then they were forced back by German snipers who held out in slit trenches and cellar dugouts. The whole village, which has been clear­ ed of civilians for some months, is criscrossed with a system of Ger­ man trenches. Late Thursday afternoon the western outfit with a Quebec bat­ talion finally entered the town and began to mop up the snipers in earnest. Darkness stopped this work and Friday dozens of them came out of their own initiative. They explained they were afraid to sur­ render during the night for fear they would be shot. Dust sifted down on the maps and down our necks and the artillery officers dug it out from between their collars and their necks and looked very pleased indeed. “Hit ’em again,” said Lieut. Joe Barmy of St. Catharines as the field guns threw out some more assistance to the Canadians making a waterborne attack on one of the dwindling Ger­ man positions in the flooded coun­ try. between Wyler and the Rhine. Lousy With Shoe Mines Lieut. Grant Taylor, of Exeter, showed us where the barrage had in many cases smashed in the walls of the trenches. There was Ger­ man equipment lying everywhere. Shoes that no one would ever wear again and abandoned masks and rifles. In a tree rested a faded derby hat. We scuffed against a broken doll. On our way out Tay­ lor yelled “Be careful when you’re going through that cabbage patch. 'The place is lousy with shoe mines. One of our trucks popped one this morning.” You could see the in­ offensive-looking little boxes lying between the cabbage stumps. As we left the village the stream of traffic going up to the battle was still thick. Soldiers were moving up with the bored look of infantry­ men who have fought much and are never surprised, just unhappy Over the next job. One group of riflemen had blacked their faces and one had added a theatrical touch by giving himself a wide white mouth.
