How To Make Exeter A
Better Place In Which To Live!

by Mrs. G. C. Koch, was award

Fair donated by The Exeter
Times-Advocate* It will be of in
terest to our many
So you're going

aside? Fine. I'm not
al adviser. I have had little prac
tical experience but observation
of other Utopian towns has en
abled me to select what I con
sider the ten most Valuable tech
niques for making
ter place in which
they are:
1. Beautification
sable River banks.
2. Construction of a modern
Public School.
3. Installation of a .sewerage
* system.
4. Erection of a hospital.
5. ■jProvision for a kitchen in
the Arena. .
6. Tmrovement of the system
, ‘of car parking on Main street.
7. Erection of street signs and
numbering of houses,
8. Establishment of adult edu
cation classes.
9. Re-organization of the Hor-
* ticultural Society.
10'. Formation of a Home and
School Club and Women's In
stitute.
These ten tips call foi* a defin
ite plan which may require a
period of years. for completion.
Hit-or-miss planning is a big
financial leak in any .community’s
spending.
Let's go into the ten suggest
ions and find how to .make them
work for Exeter.
1. Beautification, of the Au-
saible River banks: The natural
beauty of onr river could. be
greatly enhanced by planting wil
lows along its banks. A portion
of the river bed below the dam
could be dredged, treeing it from
unsightly weeds and shrubbery,
and the river channel could be
widened. By the erection of a
small dam a greater expanse of
water could be produced in this
< area.

outdoor life, and there are many,

the tourists, Who pass over .out

Riverview Park by the natural
charm or the wooded shores of
our river.
Ideas might be obtained from
a study of park systems In Strat
ford, Woodstock and Seaforth,
with, respect to the beautifica
tion of our river and also to the
improvement pf our park.
A natural swimming pool, with
a diving board could be made

2. Construction of a modern
Public School: The Exeter Dis
trict High School is to be com
pleted soon, taking adequate care
of our Secondary School popula
tion. This, however, does nothing
to meet the needs of pupils in
our elementary school. Exeter’s
school population is largely in

3. Installation of _
system: The’streams in
ter vicinity are being
with sewage from .our many sep-
tank drains. This map result in
an outbreak of a serious epi
demic at any time. Scientific dis
posal of waste is the only rem
edy.
4. Erection of a hospital: The
Exeter Lions Club have initiated
a plan for a hospital which will
meet the needs of our commun
ity. From here on the project
should be taken over by ,the
community as a whole.
5» Provision for a kitchen in
the Arena: For some years past
it has been difficult to hold ban
quets in Exeter on account of
lack of kitchen .equipment, A
modern kitchen in the Arena
would alleviate this handicap*
6. Improvement of the system
of car parking on Main street:
Did you ever attempt to drive
along Main street on a Saturday
night, with cars to the left of
you, cars to the right of you and
pedestrians in front of you? If
so, how far did you go in high
ghat? Would it not be better to
have angular parking on one
side of the street or perhaps, to
have parallel parking oil both
sides?
7. Erection of street signs ana
numbering of houses: If you are
a native of the village you may
know the names of the streets
and, the occupants of the houses
but for the sake of the .new
comer and the visitor it would
be more convenient if street
signs were erected and .the houses
numbered.
8. Establishment of adult edu
cation classes: -Since people have
more leisure due to shortened
working hours, classes In Arts
and Crafts might? be formed to
encourage our people in the pur
suit of hobbies. General academic
night classes might be establish
ed also.
9« Re-organization of the Hor
ticultural Society: We have plea
sant memories of Elower shows
held in Exeter in the years gon.0
by. Could these not be revised?
The removal of old, weakened
a sewerage
the Exe
polluted
/trees along our streets and their
Replacement with saplings is
advisable. We also lack the
beautiful municipal flower beds
so prevalent in some other towns.
An active Horticultural Society
would tackle these problems.
10. Formation of a Home and
School Club and of a Women’s
Institute: Exeter lacks parent
teacher contact, which is vital to
the welfare of our children.
Closer co-operation between the
home and the school is essential
for effective' character training
of the child.
The social life of the women
of Exeter would be enriched by
their contact with others in the
meetings of the Women’s Instit
ute.
These are my ,10 proposals for
the improvement of Exeter. Are
they too demanding in time and
money for one year? Then how
about a five or a ten year plan?

To .The Editor
Exeter Times-Advocate
Dear Friends:
I greet you from the High
Seas’. Yesterday at 10 a.m. we
crossed the equator. Father Nep
tune met the children on the
upper deck and the age-old tra
ditional ceremony was performed
beside the white, tiled open-aii’
swimming pool. The initiation in
this barbaric custom, .however,
was very mild —* a bit of soap,
some talcum powder, a drink of
salt water — a hearty handshake
with the god of the sea, and the
much coveted certificate was
theirs. This will be cherished by
the happy youngsters in the
years to come, as a memento of
their first crossing .of the “Line.”
I crossed into the Northern
Hemisphere yesterday^,with
mingled feelings of joy and re
gret. When I traversed the equa
tor a little more than a year ago
(July 26, 1948, to be exact) the
“Union of South Africa was still
an unknown land to me. i was at
that time, a little fearful, per
haps, of what strange v new ex
periences "The Land Down
Under" might bring, Today I re
call many happy times, many
kindly faces, all .of which helped
to make it a really wonderful
year.
Many and varied are the .privi
leges and experiences of an ex
change teacher. Not only was I
keenly bent on seeing .as much
of South Africa as possible, but
I was doubly anxious to get a
working knowledge of the scheme
of education. During my short
stay, I covered some 20,000 miles
in the Union during my four
term holidays. The natives I
found Intensely interesting —
charming, affable, with the most
ihtriguing customs. To them to-,
morrow is always "another day."
What a happy people.
By the time I reach Windsor
again, I shall have covered some
40,000 miles-— by land, seu and
by air —- eiwtigh to circumnavi
gate the globe twice! I shall not
attempt to give yon any detailed
accounts of what I have seen and
arid heard. H. V. Morton, in his

Junior Collegiate School for
Girls. It was a nice change to
have classes of girls only. My
subjects included English and
geography, Standards V and VI,

most South African schools,
Junior Collegiate is a boarding
school with a proportion of day
