My eyes shed many a tear;God only knows how much I miss bin As this ends the first sad year. —Sadly missed, by his wife, Harris Murray and family. our heads for the past two years.” He said the financial position of the arena was in top shape and that receipts to date showed a “nice" profit. He expressed con­ fidence that the arena would show a surplus at the end of the sea­ son’s operation. As chairman of the police and fire committee, he felt the pur­ chase of a cruiser for the police department was a wise move. He noted that there had been some discussion about hiring a third man but he didn’t feel this was necessary at the present time. He said the town was fortunate in that it experienced very little crime. New Equipment Satisfactory Councillor R. C. Dinney, who described his position as chair­ man of the drains committee as “the most wanted job" on coun­ cil, said the new drain-cleaning equipment had proved satisfac­ tory. He criticized those homeowners who were connecting their eaves- troughs into the drains, allow­ ing leaves to plug them. Redecoration of the town hall, which he directed, had produced very favorable comment from people outside the town as well as artepayers, Councillor Dinney reported. There are still some improvements to be made, he said. Slow Progress Industrial promotion is a pro­ ject which doesn’t progress rapid­ ly, Councillor R. D. Jermyn re­ ported. He outlined the formation of a county board for such pro­ motion and said that it had done some advertising this year. He also referred to work of the rec­ reation council of which he is a member. Councillor Andrew Snelgrove, also a member of the recreation council, said that Exeter’s play­ ground was ranked fifth in the province of Ontario this summer. He noted the organization of the Senior Citizens, the Figure Skat­ ing Club and the adult skating club. The town is one of 252 com­ munities in Ontario which has a recreation committee and one of 77 which employs a director. Councillor Snelgrovve indicat­ ed that the town was able to em­ ploy a recreation director and arena manager economically be­ cause of provincial grants. He said the town paid $1,333, the arena board $1,333 and the pro­ vince $1,333. He mentioned one neighboring municipality which paid an arena manager $2,600 for only six months’ work. Councillors Bailey and Witmer declined to state their intentions. New nominees, R. L. Beavers and Oliver Fee, were undecided. Education Cost Is $80 Approximate cost to ratepayers to send each pupil to public school for a year is $80, Board Chairman R. E. Russell pointed out. He thought this was “not too much out of line.” Mr. Rus­ sell noted that the construction of the four-room addition to the school was the major project of the year. He expressed appreciation to the retiring members of the board, W. H. Pollen, who was vice-chairman, and Carfrey Cann. W. G. S eldon, who was re­ elected to the board, and Warren May and Robert Riley, new mem­ bers who won seats by acclama­ tion, were not present to report to the meeting. They left at the end of the nomination period. Tax Rate Dow C. S. MacNaughton, the town’s representative on the South Hu­ ron District High School Board, said the high school tax rate of five mills was one of the lowest in the province. He also noted that the school had attained the highest academic record in On­ tario two years ago when only one paper of the 110 written failed to pass. Mr. MacNaughton paid tribute to Dr. H. H. Cowen who is re­ tiring after being chairman of the board for 10 years. “The results that have been obtained from the formation of a district high school had been largely due to his capable ’guidance,” Mr. Mac­ Naughton stated. Surplus of the board would be about the same as the last few years, he indicated, and this meant that the board would not have to levy for any additional amount in 19 5 5 unless increased enrolment forced construction of an addition to the school. PUO Hits Well Exeter P.U.C. has struck a well in Usborne township which will produce about 500,000 gallons of water a day, Mayor Cochrane re­ ported for the Commission. Al­ though this might be satisfac­ tory, the commission is drilling in other areas closer to town because of the high cost of laying pipe­ lines. The mayor explained that the drilling was being done to in­ crease the water supply when it was needed during dry summer periods. The present supply, while adequate most of the time, will not provide foi’ peak periods such as were experienced this summer nor will it provide for any growth in the town. The mayor indicated that the commission was also considering the construction of a 15,000,000 gallon reservoir to store surplus water which could be used in cases of emergency. Mr. Cochrane noted that the cost of electrical power was cheaper today than it was in 1934, Public Utilities Commissioner H. C. Rivers, who Was re-elected by acclamation, was hot present for the meeting, Miss Lina E. Abbott was the lucky winner of the Magic Maid Waterless Cookware set which was on display at the Bevington Meat Market last -week.

Ladies’ Guild T.he Ladies’ Guild met in the Parish Hall Monday evening, No­ vember 22 with Mrs. James Thompson presiding. The report on. the recent turkey supper was most satifactory. It was decided to give the wardens a substantial cheque to help pay for the two oil furnaces. A donation of $5 was also voted to the caretaker for extra duties in connection with the supper. Arrangements were made for members on the fourth concession to have charge of the next Lions Club dinner. Owing to Christmas activities it was decided to hold the next Guild meeting (which will be the annual meeting) on December 13. A nominating committee will bring in a slate of officers at that meeting.

Southcott was chairman of the meeting, which was called by the Home and School Associa­ tion. Mrs. John Schroeder, of the Home and School, acted as secre­ tary. New Nomination —Continued from Page 1 wouldn’t return unless at least 80 percent of the present council went back in. Councillors Brady and Dinney, who announced earlier their intentions of resign­ ing, said that they would con- sider going back only if no one elsb would accept the position. They insisted, howevbi', that “there should be lots Of people around to take the job.” A similar view was expresed by Councillor Snelgrove: “After four years on council, I definitely would like to quit. There are lots of capable citizens in town who can do these jobs and. I would like to see them come out and take them.” Mr. Henry Hodgins, who has been confined to his home for two months with a broken shoul­ der, was able to accompany Mrs. Hodgins on a Sunday visit with Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Abbott.
