Plans Delay Progress 0 f...Pineri Public Park Work on the start of develop- ment Of the Pinery park has been delayed until late summer, The Times -Advocate learned in a letter from W, B. Greenwood, chief of the Division of Parks, Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Crews were .scheduled to -open up a limited area this spring but delay- in the drafting of a master plan• for the area has postponed the work. A ground .survey party moved into the Pinery this week to take contours of certain areas which have been selected for future developmenE. In explaining ihe delay, Mr. Greenwood wrote The Times-, Advocate: • lAny proposed development: for. the Pinery is autherized. after the submission and approval of Fine Driver ForDrtnking 4 John' HadarO 22, 'Lande.a, was fined Vs and - •heeiFT, sus- -pended for six ihrritlis On cOn- -t viction of impaired driving an. magistrate's ,court, Grand thisweal • • .0 Six other persons Aireif fined $i0 each for having liquor. other than in their private residences.

The detachment will have five Pill -time men and three on weekends, in addition to the cor- ponal. •N 4 , a master development plan. In order to preparea master de-; velopment . plan, a survey with t five foot contour intervals is necessary. 1 "The boundary line survey was completed last fall by Mr. J. K. I Benner, 0.L.S., after which plans were turned over to our Aerial: Photography Branch to see if they could put in the contours from the aerial pictures It ap- pears, -however,. these are not going to be satisfactory, and we have placed a ground survey party there this week to give us Fly Singer.

Reeve James Dalton and in the afternoon will attend an afternoon tea at a private cottage in one, of the resort's ' exclusive subdivisions, Program Chairman Eric Mc- Ilroy, who is in charge of the event, said the club agreed to pay the $300 plane fare in ad- dition to her normal fee to bring r., the blonde ginger from her home in Vancouver, where she will FY" spend the summer. Proceeds from the Lions dance will go towards , erection of the proposed youth centre near the public school. Draws for $500 in cash will be made the same evening. five foot contours of certain areas which have been selected for future developrnept. . "As aeon as this survey ha's been completed and filed with us a start will be made on de? velopment 'of at least one or two recreational areas in the Pinery, together with the necessary ac- cess roads. We Would hope to have development under way by the late summer, and will prob- ably continue unlit Christmas, or as late as weather conditions permit. "I might add that with ap- proximately 100 parks in the. Province, with either minor or major improvement p r o4.e c t under way, the days age just not long enough to handle everything at one time." The Stratford Beacon -Herald reported this week businessmen at Grand Bend were complaining ove rthe delay in development of the Pinery. No official protest has been made. , Service Ballot Cuts Majority T. The service vote and corrected returns have trimmed' Elston Cardiff's majority to 3,453,•Huron Returning Officer J. K.

Contact Stephen, Hay ver Fire Protection Exetert town, conned plans to find out from Stephen and Hay townships how far its fire protec- tion services should be extended in these municipalities, Meeting Monday night, council authorized Clerk C. V. Pickard to write officials in both town- ships to clarifythe position of the town brigade in respect to fires within their limits. This action was taken not be- cause of a complaint, but follow- ing a discussion on what protec- Lion the brigade is expected to give in the district. Council learned that. an agreement was in effect with Usborne Township but there is no understanding concerning calls into Stephen and Hay areas. The town will ask the town- ships 1,o guarantee payments for fire calls. The fee is 00 for the first hour and $25, for each ad- ditional hour. This is actually less than if costs the town to provide the service, Clerk C. V; Pickard pointe'd out that neither Stephen nor Hay had refused to pay charges incurred when the brigade had been sent to fight fires in the past. No retaining fee was paid, either, he said. Although it is a common prac- tice for rural areas to contribute retaining.fees for fife protection, Exeter council does not request this type of deposit: Degety-Reeve Cheater Mawhin- nek started the discussion when he said he had been told that householders south of .the town limits, in Stephen Township, would not get fire protection un- less consent was given by the mayor. He was told this proce- dure had been revised 'and that the •brigade iself now is free to answer out-of-town calla. No Help 'From Society Council learned it could expect no.help catching stray dogs from, the humane .society in London. An ...offierel. ..the society, wrote, council thaf it did not pick up clogs outside the city but it would accept dogs brought in by the Mayor Pooley said officials at Centralia and Crediton were interested in- Exeter's attempt to secure an outside dog catcher. They wanted one, too, he said. Said kaolin, McKenzie: "It sounds like dog catching might be a good business for someone to start," Other aninials — squirrels, hegs and cats — demanded cm- enmisematt;teenrstion, linger, district game warden, that learned from Roy it was permissable to shoot squirrels if they were damaging property, He advised that the police should do the shooting. Mayor Pooley reported receiv- lag complaints about the raising of hogs inside the town limits. One party said pigs were being "housed in a building in which their .owners lived, but the mayor doubted this condition existed, The mayor also said he had received complaints that there Were too many cats on the Main Street, lie was supported in this 1)y several merchant -councillors who said one business harboured at least 17. The mayor said, the town bad iro jurisdiction over either hogs or cats and that the complaints had to be referred to the Huron County Health Unit. • • • All Streets Oiled •Councillor Italpli Bailey said over 20,000 gallons of oil had been used on. town streets this spring. All roads have now received at least one treatment. • Councillor Bailey "iaid the ex- treme heat on Monday would help absorb the sand into the oil and eliminate dust: Council authorized the erection of signs at Riverview Park by the Recreation Council indicating the hours when the .pond would be supervised for swunming. Reeve McKenzie stressed the importance of water safety, point- ing out that during the swimming -season last year, drownings had taken a larger toll than traffic accidents in Ontario. . • Building perdits were issued te Delbert Tayldi, for a house on the north side of Highway 83, and to Ernest J. Wells for a house on Gidley street. Tuesday Stofni Darnagds Roof. During -the wind and' hall storm in the Cromarty-Staffa district Tuesday, a section of the roof of , a barn owned by Wilbur Glan- ville was destroyed.

Paying tribute to the commu- nity, she states: "I came here not knowing one soul but'I never spent one lonely minute in Exeter. I think it's the friendliest place on the face of the earth, and we are not leaving without big heartaches."
