Mrs. Schroeder was in the house and while in the act oif turning around she caught her foot in some floor -covering and fell with the above result. Her daughter, Mrs. Goodman, a former nurse of Detroit, is waiting on her. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Schroeder and two children, of Detoit, arrived New Year’s Eve and are visiting here. On Monday next, January 6th, 1947, you, the ratepayers of Exeter, will be expected to vote on a by-law as follows: Authorizing the Village Council to grant the sum of $500.00 annually toward the support of the Exeter Citizen’s Band. 4 The Exeter Chamber of Commerce has endorsed the proposed by-law and the Band Committee feel it should receive the support of the ratepayers. You are asked to consider the following points in its favor: 1. In former years Exeter was noted for having the fin­ est band in this part of the country. . 2. During the war,, the ranks of the band were decreased by some sixteen bandsmen because of military enlistment, necessitating the training of almost an entire new band. 3. In the past eight months a thorough program of in­ struction and practice has been carried on and Exeter can again boast of an excellent and capably directed band. 4. The Exeter Band own instruments and music to the value of approximately $5,000.00. 5. New uniforms have been ordered and will shortly be available to the value of approximately $1,600.00. 6. An active program of community concerts is contemp­ lated as soon as the new uniforms arrive. Several out-of- town engagements are already being considered for next summer as well as a local band tattoo. «•* * Lucan. at Grand Bend. Hensall. Dashwood, at Lucan. -Grand Bend at Exeter.

Dinner I was served about 10.30 so that all! the opeartors could partake of the meal of roast 'chicken with all the trimmings. The table was decorated with red and white crepe paper and was centred with a lovely 'Christmas cake. An exchange of gifts followed' the meal and ibefore retiring a plate was made up for Mr. G. Lawson who was on night duty at the office. Skull Fractured Wm. Triebner aged 24, suffered a nasty accident while employed at, ■Snell Bros. & Co. garage on the evening before Christmas. He was inflating a truck tire when the rim blew off and he was knocked to the cement floor. The small nozzle at the end of the air line struck him in the forehead inflicting a fracture of the skull. One arm was bruised and cut. He was taken to Victoria Hospital and an X-ray later reveal­ ed that he had also suffered a frac­ ture of the back of the skull. He returned to his home after about three days in hospital and is now i able to be around.
