During 1954, under the leader- ship of president Bierling, the Legion erased the debt from its large'memorial hall and the mort- gage was burned during the Nov- ember ceremonies. In addition to its work among veterans, the Legion sponsored the Mohawk intermediate base- ball team; contributed towards minor sports and the children's Christmas party; purchased equip- ment for the public school Safety Patrol; distributed gifts to needy families at Christmas time, and donated the hall to Senior Citi- zens.

Hooke, field officer for the Authority,, And other of- ficials are .cooperating on the project since it will also be a flood control measure, Mayor Optimistic About New Year 1VMayor-'Elect R. E, Pooley, in a New Year ntatelnent, predieted a "better year in 1955 tor Exeter and community", Mr, Pooley, who is also chair- man of the district vegetable growers organization, said he is^ optimistic from an agricultural outlook because he believes can crops'wiil be larger, "Acreage of canning crops will increase Considerably in 1955,' Mr, Pooley said, "and we hope: 1954 prices will be maintained. This will benefit the, entire corn,. munity, the mayor -elect predict- ed, Turning to town projects, Mr, Pooley said he favored starting a, program of.hard-surfacing streets. He suggested a mile of road might be paved each year. Sewer System Not Urgent "I don't think we should wait e system isinstalled until a sewer syst m i s before we begin paving because I don't think we'll need sewers for many years yet," He was referring to the 'decision of previous coun- cils who had turned .down the paving project because the in- stallation of sewers would neces- sitate tearing up the roads. The mayor -elect said sewers would not. be needed for another 10 years. Most important problem facing the municipality in 1956 was the enlargement of water supply, Mr. Pooley stated. This may involve either the construction of a re- servoir on the river, or piping in water from a major well. • Another project which Mr. Pooley hopes to proceed with is the establishment .of a park on the river flats between the.. bridge, and the dam. He has been chair- man of the committee which has effected improvements in that area. He sees no reason why taxes shou=d increase in 1955. The new mayor urged citizens to co-operate with the council to _. make 1955 a prosperous and pro- gressive year. "Exeter is a great little town,” he said, "and all of us should work together to make it a better one."

Tribe Faces Top Test, Meets Goderich Friday Exeter Mohawks, now on' an- other victory string, will face their toughest and most crucial test of the season Friday night against Goderich Sa'llors in the local arena, The lakeport team is the cur- rent leader among the "A" entries in the league and it's the only club in the class which Mohawks haven't defeated. The tribe is only one point be- hind Forest now and boasts a bet- ter record because it has played less' games. Strathroy moved into second place among the "A" teams by winning two games this week, one over Forest, the other over Milverton. Mohawks copped three victories this week, two exhibition matches with Zurich and it league game against New Hamburg. Edge Flyers Exeter Mohawks hung a 12=0 shutout on Zurich Flyers Tuesday night in the second exhibition match between the two teams on Exeter ice.

Other pointgetters were Harry McEwen, Doug Beatty and Coife BoWinan.

Harry McEwen, Loader's playncaker, picked up two assists on the night. It was Mohawks' fourth win in five games and gave them a .500 average on the season. Rough play was climaxed by a fight . between Frank Anderson and an unidentified New Hamburg player, Botb, received a Meta. misconduct which . involved automatic 910 fine. Pete 'testes'' had to be carried from the lee after his hip was ' injured against the boards. Gar Baker received a Cut on the face from a high stick. Shutout Zurich One of the larger crowds of the season watched Exeter Mohawks edge Zurich Flyers 7'-5 Thursday night in one elf the fastest am - tests of the year, Heavy favorites to take the exhibition game, Mohawks were pressed throughout the GO min- utes inutes by the hard-working Zurich: crew. Goaltender Bill Merrier wan the outstanding player of the. night as he sparked the Flyers' defence with speetacular saves be-. fora 500 fans. The tribe outscored Zurich in the first and second periods by one goal, Both teams. counted two goals in the final period. "Boom -boons" GlFavett and Bill Hayward, who has added spark and potoncy to the third line, led the winners with two goals each. Don Hesse and B111 Hanley both counted pairs for Zurich.
