Improvements at Arena
The Exeter Arena Board, which
has in the past ‘been called a com
mittee, has decided to use the cor
rect name, the ’name under which
the original by-law was passed. The
decision to change the name was
made at a meeting of the board Tast
week. Mr. Ralph Batten was en
gaged to carry on as caretaker at
the arena and it was decided to dig
out a basement east of the cellar
for a coal bin. It was also decided
that later in the summer the iron
sheeting should ■ be spray painted
with a coat of aluminum in order
to protect it from rust. A cement
curb is to be erected three feet out
from the front of the building to
protect it from cars bumping into
it.

Professor of Economics
Addresses Lions Club
The Exetei* Lions 'Club held their
regular supper meeting in the
Trivitt Parish Hall Monday evening
and after the business of the eve
ning listened to a very fine address
by Dr. M. K. Inman, professor of
economics at the University of
Western Ontario. Dr. Inman took
for his subject, “The Gold Stan
dard, is it Workable in the Modern
World?” He outlined the effect the
international' monetary system had
on trade between the various coun
tries. The gold standard had served
a very useful purpose but with the
present world conditions he did not
think it would return. Adequate
financing of the nations to meet
the industrial needs and to prevent
inflation is one of the big problems
today. Dr. Inman was introduced
by Lion J. B. Creech and a vote
of thanks was tendered by H. L.
Sturgis. It was decided to donate
$100 to the Cancer Fund and $25
to the Y.M.C.A.

On Thursday evening last a num

ger to the branch at Gore Bay,

send-off with a banquet and pres

‘For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow’ was
sung. C. 6. MacNaughton, on be
half of thbse present, presented Mr-.

Mrs. Otton with a handsome dish.
Mr, Otton in expressing his apprecia
tion, stated that Exeter was recog1

none in the province. He spoke of
the building operations now going
on; the good work the Fair Board
are doing in fixing up the grounds;
the new club-house at the bowling
green; Jones & MacNaughton’s pro
posed seed plant, and he intimated
that a good job is going to be done
in fixing up the Bank pf Montreal.
He has been happily situated irj

and Mrs. Otton and the family. A
sing song was enjoyed with Mr.
Otton, who is a talented musician,

Local Syndicate
Acquires Property
The Southcott property at Grand
Bend, comprising over 20 0 acres of
land with a lake frontage of a mile
and a quarter, for which several in
terests are said to have been bid
ding, has finally been sold. The
new proprietors are branches of
the same family ‘ but were not in
on the original ownership. They
are T. O. Southcott, J. M. South
cott and H. O. Southcott, of Exeter.
Two additional citizens have been
added to form a- syndicate.
While property has been chang
ing hands fast in this popular sum
mer resort the Southcott property
has remained a private undertaking
in the hands of " the heirs of the
late Charles and George Southcott,
pioneers of Exeter. The great bulk
of the property has remained in
the same natural state as when
the Indians sought game in the
forest, lake and river.
Years ago the Aux Sauble River
took a turn a few hundred yards
east of the lake front and ran
south for a distance of about 12
miles before entering Lake Huron.
It was owing to this turn that Grand
Bend got its name. Fifty-one years
ago a canal was dredged that per
mitted the river to run directly in
to tlie lake. When the dredging
was about half completed the wat
ers that had backed up behind the
dredge carried the remainder of
the sand into the lake and formed
its own river bottom. The bed of
the old river remains with patches
of water here and there and this
river bed is part of the Southcott
property. There is considerable
stand of oak and pine timber. Op
posite the property is what was
once an old Indian burying ground.
The property has been in the
hands of four branches of the
Southcott family, with members
living at Blenheim, Toronto, De
troit and California. The disposi
tion of the property has been in
the hands of Miss Freda Spackman,
of Blenheim.
.It has been estimated that from
800 to 900 cottages could be crowd
ed into the potential development.
The new syndicate have not as yet
decided what action will be taken
to develop the property.
Recreational Director
Being Considered
A special meeting of the Board
of Education was held in the public
library Monday evening and met
with members of the town council
and the Lions Club to consider
several applications that have been
received for the position of a rec
reational director for Exeter. It
was felt that the Board of Educa
tion could to advantage Use such a
director for a portion of the time
in connection with the physical
traning at the school and that the
town council and the Lions Club
would share the cost of such a
director for the proniotion of hock
ey, baseball and other sports as
well as hobbies and recreation for
the older citizens. The municipal
council ’at a special meeting Tues
day evening decided to bear their
share of the cost if a director is
secured. It was decided to contact
two of the applicants for a person
al interview. One of them will be
in Exeter on Saturday to look the
situation over.
During the past year the art de
partment of the National Film
Board has provided newspapers
with illustrations on subjects of
national importance such as ration
ing and the prevention of inflation.
Large Congregations Attend
Easter Services at Churches
Levelling Fair Grounds
A large 'bulldozer belonging to
Huron County is being used to level
off the grounds of the South Huron
Agricultural Society. The old stable
on the property has been remodel
led and fitted up with 16 box stalls.
A number of farmers have devoted
considerable time and equipment in
fixing up the property and several
businessmen have made generous
offers to heln along with the ex
penses.
Ladies See Slides
On Tuesday evening a large
gathering of ladies met in the Triv
itt . Memorial Parish Hall to see
slides on Foreign Missions in Af
rica, India, China, Japan, West and
East Indies. There were representa
tives from every church in town as
well as from Hensall. The president
of Trivitt Women’s Auxiliary, Mrs.
Vernon Heywood presided over the
meeting and conducted the talk on
the slides. The meeting opened with
hymn “From Greenland’s Icy Moun
tains” followed by prayer by Rev.
M. A. Hunt. The vast amount of
work yet to be done in the Mission
Fields was stressed-1 especially in
Africa, where the people there are
undergoing great changes socially
and spiritually due to the six years
of war. The meeting concluded
with a hymn and benediction after
which a cup of tea was served.
Shower for Bride-Elect
A very enjoyable evening was
spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
A, Moir when about forty neigh
bors and friends both from town
and country gathered in honor ot
Miss Audrey Sims, bride-elect of
this week. The evening was spent
in contests, singing and solos by
Mrs. G. Taylor, readings by Mrs.
B. Ballantyne followed by a comic
duet by Mrs, M. Beckler and Mrs.
E. Mitchell, acting as bride and
groom after which a decorated
wagon was drawn in by Mrs. A.
Moir filled with both useful and
beautiful gifts. Audrey although
taken by surprise made a very fit
ting reply. A dainty lunch was then
served from the dining room table
which was decorated with a large
wedding cake. Tea was poured by
Miss Nettie Keddy.
^Accident in Iceland
Delays Trip Home
FO. Stewart Fuke, who was 20
months overseas with the R.C.IA.F.,
arrived home IF'riday of last week.
Stewart was navigator on one of
the Dakotas that returned home by
air. They were held up at Iceland
for almost a week the result of an
accident when one of the wings of
the plane was run into and dam
aged after landing at the Iceland
airport. It was necessary to send
back to England for repairs. On
the last lap home they were ten
hours in the air and had some
trouble with ice forming on the
plane. At one time one of the en
gines went dead and while in the
act of making some adjustments the
other engine failed creating no
little concern but fortunately one
of the engines came on .immediately
much to the relief of the six men
aboard.
