Visibility'0', Cars Pile Up Accidents were frequent over the weekend when storms made driving conditions treacherous. Only three crashes caused damages over $100, but there were many minor mishaps. Police estimate over 100 cars were stuck in snowbanks and drifts on Sunday and Monday. Some are still there, buried deeply in snow thrown over them by plows. Damages exceeded $2,300 in a five -car crash on No. 83 High- way, east of Exeter, Sunday, in which it t wo police cruisers were involved. A cab owned by Harvey's '.taxi, Exeter, and driven by Bob Har- vey, was turning around on the highway when it was struck by a vehicle driven by Lloyd, 1•Iey, Crediton, who failed to see it be- cause of the blowing snow. While OPP Constable Hank Reid and Exeter Constable John Cowan were investigating the crash, a car driven by Malcolm. Latnond, London, struck the ' Exeter cruiser, driving it into the pro- vincial car. The two cars were parked at the side of the road, The Harvey and Hey cars sub fered the most damage. Similar mishaps occurred on No. 4 Highway, just south, of the Crediton sideroad, when Marshal] Langille, R.R. 2, Hanover, be- came stuck in a snowbank while he was proceeding north. Bill Thompson, R.R. 1, Clande- boye, also travelling north, couldn't see the car until it was too late and he hit the left rear corner, skidded into the ditch ahead of the other car. Later, Ronald Johnson, Seaforth, • hit Langille's car. Total damage Amounted to $70. At Centralia on Saturday, a ear driven by Seth Winer, Exeter, skidded into a vehicle driven -by Doug Grayer, RCAF Centralia, who was making a turn in front of the Centralia Hotel: Damage amounted to $85. Erhard Kopp, .'Blyth, skidded out of control on No. 4 Highway, south, of Exeter, as he ap- proached a car coming from the the opposite direction and driven by Robert Grassick,' Exeter., The cars collided but damage was light. Carl Aston, RCAF Clinton, who was Southbound on No. 4, pulled out. of his lane to avoid hitting a stalled vehicle and collided with another car driven by Robert Parker, London. Damage was $75.

During the press. conference, Gen. Pearkes spiked a number of rumors which have been circu- lating about Centralia. He in- dicated there would be 'no con- struction on runways to make the station an operational base for jet aircraft, a suggestion that was made at the time that Cen- tralia's future role was in doubt. He was definite that the pre- liminary flying training school, with its Chipmunk aircraft, would not be transferred, to the west, but would remain at Centralia. The renovation program for the station, rumored to be esti• mated at a cost of $7,000,000, will not even approach the one mil- lion dollar mark. These speculations have been circulating recently among 'civilian employees at the station but were never supported by official sources.

A considerable change in personne is expected, however. To Modernize Warning System Questioned as to how Canada's early warning system in the north would cope with the inter- continental and missiles being developed, Gen, Pearkes said: "We do expect to have our warn• ing system modernized so that eventually it will detect bombers at a very great height and inter- continental missiles." Asked if the present system is obsolete, the minister replied; "Our present warning system is designed to detect the armed bomber -it will only become ob- solete when the armed bomber becomes obsolete. Queried about reports that the United States had developed equipment which would detect intercontinental missiles and satellites and that three warning stations will be established with this equipment, the minister said he had received no application from the United States for setting up a station of this kind in Can- ada. "I'm 'not sure that there is a location in Canada which meets the requirements demanded by this new system,' Canada was prepared, however, Io give "every assistance to our allies" in this regard. Despite Monday's storm -•- the worst of the winter - the minis- ter's plane landed at Centralia at 11 o'clock as scheduled. Gen. Pearkes showed no signs of anxiety over his trip through the storm and praised the "skilful" handling of his craft by its crew. Pilot of the CF pla.ne, a large VIP version of the four.engined North Star, was Flying Officer Don Thompson, Ottawa, who re- ceived his training at Centralia. He made only one pass over the station before landing in the wild snow storm which reduced vis- ibility to zero, The storm, PO Thompson said, was confined mainly to ground level, and he had experienced no trouble in the flight from Ottawa. The jet carrying Air Marshall Ilugh Campbell, chief of the air staff, to Centralia, wt.: not able to land here, however, and it went on to London from where the C,A.S, motored to Centralia to join the minister in his inspee- tion of the station.

F v,irr II 195P .41. For Costs To Lower r Sewers, Official Urqes Speaking as a taxpayer, no as clerk, C. Y. Pickard told Exeter Kinsmen last week he thought the town would be wise lo postpone the installation o a sewage system for 10 years. Mr.Pickard cited high cost of construction, high interest rat. and the current heavy .debenture debt as reasons for the post }ponement, I The • clerk and members on 1 eouncii acted as a panel on "Your Business" during the Kinsmen meeting, The officials answered questions on .all types of mun5eipal , problems during the discussion. Mr. Pickard said a complete sewer system would cost tate town .at least one million .dollars, according to rough estimates I submitted by the town's engineer, I R. V. Andersson, Toronto, whore the clerk described as one of the outstanding men in this field in the province, If debentures were spread over a period of 30 years at the pres- ent six percent rate, the interest an the loan alone would amount to $41,177,467, be saki. He felt it would be advisable to wait until money becomes more plentiful and interest rates drop, pointing out that the same loan at. four percent would re- quire only $734,900 in interest payments. ,Mr. Pickard said the total de- bnture debt against the town at the present time is $880,000. Of this, approximately 8400,000 will be met by district municipali- ties on the high school loans and 5124.000 will be financed by the Public Utilities Commission. This leaves roughly $360,000 in debentures which must be paid off through revenue raised by the town mill rate, In 10 years, the total debt against the town would be re- duced to $200,000 less the appro- priate amounts attributable to the municipalities in the high school area and the PUC deben- tures. Exeter would then be in much better position to handle a major loan for the sewerage, said Mr. Pickard. The clerk explained that, at the present time, the town's sew- age problem is in the hands of the Ontario to i r o Water Resources Commission. Engineer Anderson drafted a report on the situation ttvo years ago and the town sub- mitted it to the Commission for its advice and assistance on de- termining the best solution. The Commission has not yet considered the town's report, Mr. Pickard said. Kinslnen directed questions of all types to the panel and the chairmen of the various com- mittees provided answers. The discussion revealed that two of the main problems in .the minds of the club members were. industrial promotion and park- ing. Questioned as to how they could help the council bring in- dustry to town, Councillor Mur- ray Greene said every citizen t • could assist in this regard by boosting rile town wherever to ntigltt go. One never knew, he continued, when .a prospective f industrialist might be present !and pride in one's community ' would .encourage him to. investi- e gate the ppsaibility :of estahUsh• e ing a plant in 1'::cetar, Mr. t;reeni said brochures -1 havtede :beetsCrates; sent Unitetod KingToronto, doitt Uni- and• ` Europe in the hope of attracting industry, , .Reeve Willi$m McKenzie ent- phasized that •the possibility of ltory shnocal citiuldns not zeestabbelishingoverlookeda far• , 'Ire cited a case of another Onta- rio town where several enter- prising businessmen had started a plant which was now thriving. Asked why the streets servic- ing the district high school were not liardtopped, Councillor Ralph !Bailey pointed out that tins rout was five blocks long .and at 1.83,000 a block, total cost would , be $15,000. "That's more titan we have in our budget to spend on all roads this year." he said, Councillor Glenn Fisher, ques- tioned about Riverview Park de- velopments between the dam and the bridge, said he felt it was "senseless" to spend money in . an area which Would be flopded out each year. Asked why the town did not establish a parking lot to re- lieve Main street congestion, Councillor Green pointed out that a large lot owned by Snell New Hardware Opens Thursday New Crest Hardware in Hensail, owned and operated by Drysdale Hardware Ltd, stages its grand opening this weekend following a $.10,000 renovation, Stories, pictures and bar- gains in connection with the gala event, which starts to- day, Thursday, appear on pages 16 to 20 of this week's edition.
