Exeter Huron County Advantages Huron County warden Arthur! Nicholson this week issued an invitation to Grand Bend resi­ dents listed step. He Lanrbton would not bring the summer resort under the Liquor Control Act. Reliable authorities at Toronto advised that condi­ tions respecting the sale of liquor will be no different, whatever County the village may 'become a part of, because the Canada Temperance Act is a Dominion Statute and municipal boundaries are controlled by the province.” The warden cited court cases which supported this view. On taxation, Mr. Nicholson said: “The lower priced properties in Grand Bend on both sides of the County Boundary have simi­ lar tax bills at present, It is true that some of the more expensive properties are assessed higher re­ latively in Huron than Lambton and pay higher taxes, but any advantages these properties may receive in Lambion will be only temporary. “Assessments for taxation are subject to revision until they are correct and no doubt some prop­ erties in Grand Bend have been assessed too high. In the future assessing of the Village will be done by the assessor appointed by the Village Council and when the Village is t. reassessed and equalized, more direct control can be exercised. There is a growing feeling in Huron that summer cottages and other 'prop­ erties associated with the holiday business should be assessed spe­ cially, as owners do not use the schools and use other facilities provided by the public for only a few months each year. Twenty- six counties have County Assess­ ors-—Lambton is one of the twelve that has not yet adopted the system. It is likely that the appointment of a County Assess- oi’ will become compulsory so that the effect that it I Huron will then apply to ton.” Other advantages listed warden were: “During the past few Huron paid for work on streets to the value of 25% of the Road Levy of the municipal­ ity. No other county treated their urban municipalities so well. “If Grand Bend becomes a part of Lambton, all of the busi­ ness associated with the courts, the registry office, the County Council and much law business will have to be transacted at Sarnia which is nearly twenty miles further than Goderich. “The Lambton portion of Grand Bend would benefit by be­ ing in the Exeter High School Area on account of the extra dis­ tance to Forest since one bus would serve instead of two. If in Huron, there would be a strong argument for admission. “The County of Huron is a progressive county. “It has no debenture debt ex­ cept for a new Court House, and while most of this money has been raised and the debentures retired this year, the money has not yet been spent. These deben­ tures bear interest at the rate of 1 % % credit .... „ county has about $200,000 other surplus funds. “It has the Health and Sani­ tation unit recommended and subsidized by the Department of Health in operation and its citi­ zens are deriving its advantages. “It has 120 miles of paved county roads. It was to give vice to Grand Bend that Crediton road was paved by county many years before jacent provincial highways. to join Huron County and the advantages of such a said incorporation into “It has a new Registry Office that has been paid for from 1949 and 1950 taxes. “The County Home has man­ agement that is second to none and is an institution in which we take great pride. “While Huron has* been giving these services to its citizens, its tax rate is similar to that of Lambton. Taxes will probably be lower in Huron than in Lambton in the future because the one mill Court House debenture pay" ments will end this year, the Registry Office payments com­ pleted, and Lambton will prob­ ably raise their taxes to provide services already enjoyed in Huron. “No effort was made by this county to retain Grand Bend in Huron so long as it appeared that the proposed municipality might gain by being in Lambton, but since a study of the situation shows that the reverse is the case, it is the hope of Huron that the residents of Grand Bend will decide to remain in Huron where the Village belongs, geo­ graphically.” With London j Ray Yelle, popular pitching i ace with the Dashwood ball team I last year, has been trying with the London Majors. According to reports, Ray made an excellent showing is almost a cinch to catch with either the Majors or London Juniors. During a three-inning stint on the mound, Ray struck out Russ Evon, a leading slugger of the fast Intercounty League, twice. Local fans will wish Ray the best of luck in his bid to ad­ vance to faster 'baseball company. He is the son of J. H. Yelle, principal of Parkhill High School.

McLaughlin, have lived through both discouraging times since the in­ itial campaign for funds was launched in the spring <?f 19 50. The campaign at that time was postponed until an indefinite later time. Several months ago a financial campaign was just about launched again but once more an interference to its poss­ ible success appeared in the form of new government orders with regard to building materials. Now, as the result of a meet­ ing held on Monday evening this week it is very likely that a financial campaign for some $65,000 will be commenced in the near future. It is strongly felt by the members of the com­ mittee that this amount can be raised. It is also their unanimous belief that action must be taken soon or the prospect of having an arena in St. Marys may have to be put off for years to come. ! Hope To Sponsor Baseball Tournament An effort to secure the co­ operation of service clubs and organizations in Exeter to spon­ sor a Bantam baseball tourna­ ment in August was made at a meeting in the town hall Mon­ day night. Spear-headed by ‘‘Derry’’ Boyle, the project is to draw bantam teams from Western On­ tario to participate in a two- or tliree-day tournament. Present plans are to form a committee made up of represent­ atives from the Legion, Lions, Kinsmen, Firemen and council. Clubs will donate money to meet expenses and it is hoped that ladies can be organized to Cole's Jewellery ser- the this ad- GODERICH JOHN DEERE TRACTORS encouraging and.yj.Qvije sandwiches for the kids.

BENNETT Finer weather this past week has seen a number of cattle go vass although the greater of dairy herds are stabled. Feed supplies This to gJ proportion still being- are still fairly plentiful, past week has seen hog prices strengthen considerably. A large amount of seeding was done this past week although some land still cannot be worked because it is too wet. Farmers find it necessary to work around a number of wet holes in many fields. Some grain that was seed­ ed earlier during the infrequent dry spells is now coming up. Winter wheat made considerable progress during the past week and hay and clover is looking well. Farmers report that the ground is quite hard to work, having dried out considerably on top but still being very sticky underneath, making it more dif­ ficult to make a satisfactory seed bed.
