The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1949-07-07, Page 1EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1949Seventy-sixth Year on the Linden- by the Parkmunicipal Board to allow them to com-, plete -the Seeks By-Law Enforcement ■Councillors thrashed over old problem of getting some teeth into the building permit by-law Monday night. Some vio­ lators in the village have either failed to apply for permits or failed to build according to per­ mit specifications and the coun­ cil feels that the by-law should be strictly enforced. How it can bC done is another question, however, and no solution has been arrived at yet. Clerk C. V. Pickard presented the half-yearly financial state­ ment and expenditures and esti­ mates are in good balance. The report was accepted motion of Councillors field, and Hern. Funds were advanced body to the plete -the construction of the grandstand and to paint it. The funds are to be returned as soon as the Park Board has the money available, Clerk Pickard was instructed to advise the Township of Ste­ phen that the parties assessed for the Makins Drain in the municipality are not satisfied. The move came after the council heard a protest from Preston ^Dearing, who waited on the body and complained that although assessed, his farm would derive little benefit from the drain. Building permits were applied for as follows: Mrs. Victoria Hyndman, roofing house; Alf Andrus, a garage; W. H. Hodg­ son, a garage; R. Rasmussen, a house; and John Caldwell, a house. It was moved and seconded ■by Councillors Snider " and Hughes that building permits be granted to the above with the exception of John Caldwell and ' that his application be further investigated. The matter of the Street storni sewerx and pumping station at the corner ~J’ T~’*" ar.d Marlborough was given consideration. Plans and specifications foi’ the pumping station as prepared by W. R. V. Anderson, consulting' engineer, were examined. It was moved, and seconded by Councillors Lindenfield and Hern that Chas. P. Dietrich and Wainwright Con­ struction Company be asked to submit tenders for the construc­ tion of the ( pumping station and the installation of the required force main, both complete, with the exception of the required pump. The clerk was instructed to contact Dr. Berry, Department, of Public Health, in regard to permission to proceed with the project. The clerk reported that he had written the Department of Plan­ ning and Development in regard to Mr. Verne Heywood’s request to have street opened but up to the present has had no reply. It was moVed and seconded by Councillors Hern and Hughes that new uniforms be purchased for our two" police officers. Coun­ cillor Hern will make the pur­ chase.

The memorial sertfce will be held at 7:30‘ p.m. DST and Rev. F. L. Lewis of Port Pranks will be the guest speaker. The board of .management appeals to the residents to bring extra flowers for friends who live at a distance and will not be able to attend. The following is an excerpt from a statement issued by the boArd. "In this cemetery there are buried a number of McGillvray’s earliest pioneers. They weie buried around the old Salem Methodist Church, in the- early years of the settlement when the church and the cemetery were situated on concesson 18 of Mc- Gillvray, one and a quarter miles south of the North boundary. A number of years ago the church was burned down and was never rebuilt. At that time the shed was sold and the money layed by for tery. "As money who had looking after the cemetery had mostly all died. The cemetery was neglected. The fence around it became of little use ana the cemetery grew almost into a pasture field. Wild apple trees and other rubbish and weeds grew up/ monuments Were being brokeh down by cattle and the situation became disgraceful, "In the year 1946 a few of those who had relatives .buried there took the situation in hand. They called a meeting of those interested and a board of man­ agement was elected. • The board made a canvas of relatives of those buried in the cemetery, and when the situation was placed before them, the response on the whole was quite favor­ able. "A bee was arranged and the fence was replaced. The monu­ ments were all repaired, new foundations put In where needed, caved-in graves were levelled off, the brush and weeds cut and burned, which took a number of men three days to complete. "The board of management was able to open a bank account known as the Salem cemetery account to be used for the up­ keep of the graveyard. "The board Is not satisfied yet. They would like to have all the small cemeteries in the town­ ship of McGUlvray repaired In a similar way and eventually have some kind of perpetual Care established under the supervision of the council. Our pioneer residents are buried in graveyards and in the future there will be no interested in the resting of their earthly bodies. "Surely We owe this to those who chopped trees and cleared out fertile fields and left us their heritage.

Search Wrong Bed For Missing Man A concentrated search for missing man, believed to have drowned in the lake at Grand Bend, was successful on Friday afternoon. They found him all right but not in the lake ... in his hotel room! The man and some of his friends went swimming and some time later the friends missed him. An alarm sounded, a crowd gathered, a chain of nien, one in full clothing, waded up the shore, and boats scouted around looking for the missing chap. They looked in the wrong bed. There was a big crowd at the lakeside holiday resort 'over the week-end. Police had a little trouble with firecracker throwers on Dominion Day night and a few minor arrests were made to curb disturbances. Hensail Assessor Former Lucan Pupils Celebrate A gay and sentimental last post was sounded for Lucan High School Saturday and Sun­ day when an old boys’ and girls’ reunion was staged to mark the end of a faithful service of fifty- nine years. aThe school, set in the familiar square just north of the busi­ ness section of* town, and sur* rounded by shade trees and play­ ing campus, graduated Its final class this Spring, and now Lucan pupils will travel to the new East Middlesex Collegiate at Arva under the centralization scheme.Hundreds rallied to the call of the reunion as they had rallied to the call of the school bell many times before, and more than anything else they remin­ isced. The program, good as It was, was only secondary as the Stanleys and Hodgins and Cour­ seys and Revingtons and O’Neills talked of old times with other pupils and teachers. In tune with the same spirit' of progress responsible for the closing of the school to set up better educational facilities for the district, the proceeds from the reunion are being used to build a new community centre. Arthur Ford, editor-in-chief of The London Free Press, and a former pupil of the school, was the chief speaker of the after­ noon. Others of the graduates who came from the west, Que­ bec, United States and Northern Ontario, spoke at the celebra­ tion. Gives Report Hensall assessor, J. A.
