Council Orders Survey Of Pollution Problem Exeter Council has Instructed R. V. Anderson and Associates, 'Toronto, to make a report on the town's eWage and pollution pro- blems and bring in 'recommen- dations on how they can be sol- ved. The move followed a three- hour meeting with 'the sanitary engineer during a special session Monday night. Mr. Anderson, who drafted the foriginai sewer plan for the town In 1948, suggested the present pollution of the Ausable River could be prevented with the Con- struction of a minor treatment plant at a c &at of $725,000 to 4100,000, He promised to pre- sent several different proposals tor the town to consider. iComplete sewage system or Hog Ballot Not Official Ontdria Minister of Agricul- ture's office said "nothing official as yet" when asked about the hog producers vote by The Times - Advocate Wednesday. This tomment leaves up in the air a report last week that the government planned to call a vote and a denial made this week by Charles McInnis, president of the Ontario Hog Producers Ass'n. ,McInnis told reporters Tuesday night • at Stratford that he had received no official word about the proposed vote, He contradict- ed the report Issued last week stating a vote would be held. (McInnis preclictad at an Ex- eter meeting of producers last month that a vote would be held but b did not discloSe when.) The spokesman for the Mini -- ter Wednesday would not 'elabor- ate on his statement but the "as yet" could indicate en early an- nouncement. It is expected the department will clarify the issue shortly, (The Times -Advocate's etory on page five and editorial on page two Were based on the early report of the vote last week and Were printed before the denial by MeItiniS.)• Mist, Abide By Co -Op Over 500 Ontario livestock truckers have been notified through the official bulletin of their Automotive Transport As- sociation..that they must abide by the regulations Of Ontario Hog Marketing legislation, This legislatien provides that dial' persons who assemble, ship er transport hogs for slaughter' must secure a shipper's license froin the Ontario Mg ePradueerie Exeter would cost around $400,- 000, he estimated.. .Council be- lieved this expenditure to be be- yond the town's means. The pollution problem results from, the dumping of wash water and sewage into drains which empty directly into the river. During the dry spell this sum- mer, the •pollution is—believed to have killed one cattle beast in Stephen township. Soap Troublesome Health officials claim the wash water, which contains strong soaps. and detergents, is more harmful than sewage. Dumping of sewage into the drains is con- trary to regulations but it does occur, particularly in the Main St. area. Council estimates 75 percent of homeowners dump their wash water into the drains. The main plan discussed by council and the engineer was. to link Main and Andrew Streets drains into the 'William Street storm.sewer at the river and erect a treatment plant which would handle the summer flow. During spring floods the water would have to 'pass the plant. This would provide- for pre- sent pollution only. It would not mean that homeowners 00111 d dump sewage into the drains in- stead of using septic tanks. Council asked the engineer to bring up to date his sewage plan of 1948 under which the town has Constructed storm sewers on five Marketing Board in TOronto. Fee for the license is one dollar. The following is the policy announcement distributed to all members of the Livestock Trans- portation Division Of the Auto - Motive Transport Association of Ontario through their Members' Bulletin over the signature of their- Secretary, Mr. J. R.

A pum- ping station,' to force the water from the west and south sections of town into the William Street trunk, has also been constructed according to the plan. , 'Mr. Anderson was critical at first of the plan to combine storm and sanitary sewers and he told council this should be avoided It possible in favor of separate systems. He later said, however, that the combined system is used in towns which are not large enough to pay for both systems. Mr. Anderson's report is ex- pected around the first of the year.

Vetter, in his own evidence, said he was trying to claim wages he alleged. were owed by Hackney. "You whipped a man (with the pistol) who was lying in bed, with his face turned avfay, not in self defence," the magistrate said prior to sentence, Two shots were fired from the pistol, one during a scuffle in Hackney's bedroom and another when Hackney sought refuge in a downstairs closet. The victim was not struck by either bullet. Vetter had stated he was not aware of the second shot, or any- thing else that happened after becoming struck on the head with a shoe by Mrs. Hackney as the two men struggled in the up- stairs hall." The events were a result of a complete physical and emotional The Rev. Alex'r Rapson con- ducted both services at Main St. United Church last Sunday when the anniversary of the church was observed. His morning sermon, 'A King Reveals His Sovereignty," was based on the incident of Jesus washing His disciples' feet. He emphasized the quiet, humble way in which Jesus dealt with men, in contrast to man's pomp- ous and sometimes vulgar dis- play of power. Rev. Rapson's evening sermon, "Faith To Live By," concerned 'the characteristics of faith which, if believed, are sufficient to en- able a man to live abundantly in the here and now and to live eternally with God. Mrs. J. H. McKnight, Clinton, was guest soloist for the day. The choir sang two anthems and numbers were rendered by the male quartette, Harold and Ger- ald Skinner, Robert Russell and Sterling Ince.
