On Thursday evening of last week
, a number of young people of the
i community extended a warm wel
come to Mr. Max Harness and his
English war bride at a dance and
reception in McKnight’s Hall. Mr.
and Mrs. Harness were presented
with an address by Stanley Frayne
and the gift of a radio and a purse
of money presented by Oryal Hun
ter. Both Mr. and Mrs. Harness ex
pressed their appreciation. Mrs.
' Harness is delighted with the friend
liness of the Exeter people and of
the conditions she has found in
Canada. The presentation was the
sequel to a charivari. staged by the
young people a couple of weeks ago
When Mrs, Harness, who had nevei’
heard of a charivari, thought for a
few minutes that gangsterism in
true western, style as seen in the
movies, had descended upon their
home and that they were in for
trouble. The firing of guns and the
hideous noises ha<L her frightened
for the moment. However her fears
were soon,allayed, when she learned
that it was one of our peculiar cus
toms. She is becoming quite at home
among friends and she said that

sultant Committee of the Huron

of Exeter, Hensall, Stephen, Hay
and Ushorne Townships and Pfttk
tions from each municipality Uftye
been forwarded to the County Coun-
cil for their consideration at the
June, session.
On Friday evening last a deputa
tion from the Exeter Board of
Education met with the Council
and School Board of Hensall and
after some discussion it was decid
ed that Hensall would* join the
Exeter School Area on the under
standing that until such time as
there is sufficient accommodation
at the Exeter H- S, for their influx
of new pupils that Hensall school ■
would form a part of the Exeter
schodl for the accommodation of
one or more classes.
After meeting with the -Council
and School Board the Exeter dele
gation met with . Mr, M. Sanders,
principal of the Hensall school and
an agreement was reached to em
ploy Mr. Sanders on the Exeter
staff, his duties to continue at the
Hensall school. There will be more
or less commuting of scholars and
teachers between the two schools
in order that home economics,
shop work, agriculture and cadet
.training will be available to all
students in the required grades.
With the setting up of the new
area it will mean that the present
Exeter Board of Education will be
dissolved and a new Board with
two representatives from Exeter
and one from each of the munici
palities, together with one or more
representatives appointed from the
county council will be set up. Mr.
Gordon Duffin, a representative
from the department of education,
has been detailed to assist in set
ting up the new areas throughout
