Exeter’s contribution to Huron County Council is $22,409.35 this year. The local council accepted the assessment at its meeting on Monday night. County rate is 10 mills this year. A deputation headed by Archie Ryckman waited on council ask­ ing for the use of a room in the town hall for their card club. He said their present quarters above the Co-op building necessitated too much stair-climbing. Council­ lor Andrew Snelgrove advised that the Recreation Council was endeavouring, to secure quarters for a club of this kind. He asked the deputation to appear before the Rec Council Tuesday night. Council set the rates for grader work for taxpayers at $4 an hour, with a $2 minimum. C. S. MacNaughton, member of the South Huron District High School Board, advised council that his board was prepared to erect a fence to the north of the high school playing field and ex­ tending east to the limit of the property. This fence would pre­ vent cars from crossing the school lawn from the Community Park. Council said it had no ob­ jection to the fence.

Exeter Kinsmen are planning two all-new shows in the after’* noon and evening of their third annual Dominion Day Celebra­ tion. New attractions this year in­ clude the Goderich Girls’ Trum­ pet Band, prizewinner at ONE last year and the Toronto band com­ petition this spring; new novelty contests for the children; Cy Strange, former Exeter boy, of “Fun Parade” fame; and i com­ pletely different vaudeville show. The Celebration, which re­ ceived nation-wide publicity last year with its novel egg-throwing contest among the reeves of the district, will feature another competition among officials. This year the reeves will hurl juicy pies at each other. As in previous years, the after­ noon show will cater to the child­ ren who receive free ice cream cones and drinks. All kids who attend are eligible to win a bi­ cycle, tricycle or wagon. The famous Carter Shows, of Windsor, will operate the midway and there will be more rides and amusements than ever before. Three bands will be featured in the opening parade and will entertain during the afternoon. They are the Exeter Citizens Band, under the leadership of Ted Walper; the RCAF Centralia Report Finds District High Schools Operation of high school dis­ tricts has improved community spirit and understanding among the municipalities, a report pre­ sented to Huron County council last week stated. The report noted tlie forma­ tion of high school districts and their operation in the past few years have resulted in: . V increase in’ the enrolment in secondary schools, especially from rural areas. With very few exceptions, pupils who complete the work of Huron Plumbers Organize Group A meeting of the plumbers Huron County was held for the purpose of forming branch of the Master Association. Mr. Peter McHardy, to, assistant secretary-manager of the National Association of Master Plumbers, addressed the meeting, outlining the purpose of the Association, Mr. Wingate, of Toronto, secretary * manager of the Master Plumber’s Associa­ tion, also addressed the meeting. Prominent guests from Lambton County Branch also attended the meeting.

The boards have established a varied program which is aimed at meeting the needs of all pupils. It would appear that more pupils are receiving more second­ ary school training. The increased enrolment, and surveys of the elementary schools showing probable increases in enrolment have caused boards to erect new buildings or to make extensions to jjresent buildings. Increased expenditures in each district have resulted from in­ creased salaries, the cost of transportation and, in many cases, the payment of debentures. In the comparison of enrol­ ment, South Huron District High Scliobl ranks third in the county. Schools with larger enrolment are Goderich and Wingham. Estimated enrolments for the local school for the next three years are; 1953, 410; 1954, 430; 1955, 455. S.H.D.H.S. has the lowest transportation costs per pupil of all the schools. The figure is estimated at $87. Most of the other schools are over $10i0y the largest being $130. The total expenditures of tlie local school in 1952 were the highest in the county. The figure is $148,780.19. Goderich is sec­ ond highest,with $147,097.34. A comparison of tlie costs of each municipality for secondary school education in 1945 1952 reveals considerable crease. Exeter paid $47.62 per pupil in ’45; $144 per pupil in ’52; Hensall, $73.19 and $155; Us­ borne, $78.21 and $154.15; Hay, $113.80 and $157; Stephen, $102.47 and $228.51.

The Goderich band won top place at the recent trumpet band competition at Tor­ onto. Novelty contests during the 'afternoon include a calf scramble, a competition in which boys at­ tempt to throw bucking heifers by hand; a race on rolling bar­ rels; and a match of fighting skill on drums. All three contests should provide spectators wjtli plenty of merriment. Big feature of the afternoon will be the reeves’ contest. Hay Reeve Earl Campbell, who was named champion egg-thrower last year, will attempt to defend his title this year in a pie fight. Reeves of other municipalities will be trying to out-plaster him with pastry. To knit the show together and announce it from the grandstand, the Kinsmen have secured one ot Canada’s top radio personalities —Cy Strange. Son of Mr. John Strange, of Exeter, entertainment artist ous with his exciting ade’’ show which toured the coun­ try ’ on the CBC network two year ago. Cy will bring with him some of his favorite antics which he used on the “Fun Parade”. The evening show starts with a ball game between Exeter Mo­ hawks and Dashwood Tigers. The Tigers edged the Mohawks 3-2 in their first meeting this year and the Exeter crew will be out for revenge. Lee Paul, of Kirkton, lias ar­ ranged a terrific vaudeville show for the evening. Close to $500 is ■being spent to bring the best entertainers available to the local stage. The show features a var­ iety of talent, most of which has never been seen in this district before. The show will mark the pro­ fessional debut of two popular Exeter, singers, Jean and Grant McDonald. This brother and sis­ ter Combination has entertained many local audiences as amateurs but they are expected to be big hits in their first professional appearance.

He was inspect­ ing a fence on the grass farm of Stewart Triebner, Concession 3 of Hay Township, when he took hold of a wire carrying 110 volts and was frozen to the spot. The live -wire was stretched across the farm to keep the ani­ mals from straying but instead of the usual electric wire fencing it was connected to the hydro on the farm of Mr. Triebner. There were four others in the party, including Mr. Triebner and with the aid of a pair of pliers one of the men cut the wire. Fortunately the one who cut the wire was wearing rubber-soled footwear otherwise he too might have received a severe shock. On Tuesday afternoon Messrs. Jack MacFarlane, chief inspector of hydro for the western region, and Ken Lampman, local super­ intendent, visited the Triebner farm and found the wire had been disconnected from the hy­ dro. “I warned Mr. Triebner how lucky he was that no one had been killed or that some of his cattle had n.ot been injured,” said Mr. MacFarlane. tralia. Previous high was inches on June 1, 1947. Already this month, almost as much water has fallen as in the heaviest June on record at Cen­ tralia, So far 3.77 inches has been recorded in 17 days. In June ’47 the total for 30 days was 3.90 inches. Average for June is three inches. Ontario Agriculture Department oficials have weather loss fbr the province at more than $50,000,000. Earl Campbell, reeve of Hay township, said water was damag­ ing the beans. Rain had beaten down some of the hay but he hoped it would straighten up again. Tuesday night’s rain, lie stated, “was the heaviest we’ve had for a long time.” Verne Pincombe, reeve of Us­ borne, said some grain, particu­ larly barley, was turning yellow from the wet. The rain had flat­ tened six acres of his wheat. He felt the sugar beets in his area would be harmed and that the heavy hay crop might start to rot. "I can’t remember when we’ve had such a wet spring,” he said. Dick Etherington, of North Usborne, noted the hay and wheat crops were badly lodged and he expects the yield will be cut. G. W. Montgomery, agriculture representative for Huron, said in his weekly report farmers are sowing and millet on areas been too wet to seed crops. “Several farmers in the county were putting in grass silage and. because of the wet weather, it would appear that more farmers than formerly will be putting in grass silage.” estimated the wet >o;ooo,ooo. that many buckwheat which have other early the Toronto became fam- “Fun Par­ States; Frank Rockwood, tenor soloist with the “Don Wright Chorus”; the Nicklings, famous acrobatic team who have a brand new show; and, of course, ever-popular, Paul Brothers Shirley.
