It sue - daily summarized the reaction of both airmen and civilians at Centralia Saturday to the out- standing performance of the "Golden Hawks.". Tilled as the feature of the Air Force Day show, the Hawks came through with flying col- ors •— literally. Frain their :first 'bomb burst" to their smoke- faehio_ned red, white and blue fir nale, they staged a thrilling cli- max to the most outstanding air exhibition ever presented at Cen- tralia. It was the famed Hawks' for- tieth performance across Can• Acta and they proved to the 10.000 spectators why they're rated as one of the top acrobatic teams of the world. Travelling atspeeds up to 600 mph, the six golden jets screamed across the tarmac in a rapid. -fire succession of forma- down i' htItion, duet and solo flying that Exhibits 1 kept heads scaning nearly every u second of their 20 -minute show. Their .fcrmations were so tight it appeared the craft ,were ' " stapled together. Big contribution to the Hawks' display was the professional- ty'pe announcing of FO. George McDonald, former public rela• tions officer at Centralia, who detailed the Hawks' moves for the puibli --- stapled a feature attraction on the ground, and a "Flying Boxcar" did short field take -offs, as did two Maritime command N`ep- tunes. Although overshadowed by the Hawks. Saskatoon T -33's and Centralia Chipmunks presented some excellent aerobatics of their own. Particularly impres- sive was the solo work of the "Red Knight." a T-:13 which flashed into view shortly after a fine bomb burst by the pet train- ers in formation. Music by Centralia and Clin- ton hands, a precision drill, ca- listhenics display and parade of mobile vehicles were presented in the early portion of the pro- gram, following the official ope- ning. Feature of the 27 hangar dis- plays were the exhibition of the Silver Dart. first plane to fly in the British Empire, and the Ble- j , riot, first craft across the .Eng• lish channel. Other displays t helped to detail the advances made by the RCAF in its 35 - year history. Missile and radar displays from RCAF Clinton, hobby work, training displays, films and other attractions kept thousands entertained before and after the air show. Two "do-it-yourself" ultra light Ms - aircraft from ch drew considerable attention. Made by reveals polluted; Keith.

At the request of the commis- sion, council advised the own• ers of land near the Marlboro street well that "under present circumstances building ,permits will not be .issued where build- ings or septic tank drains will come within 200 feet of the. well," The decision affects only a small portion of the .new subdi• vision between Carling and Vic- toria street being developed by Whiting Construction and John Burke, tea tor. The PUC reyealed its water consumption bit a record high during the past summer and fell that `all steps should be taken to insure that the present sup- ply of water will remain free of contamination." Sup't H. L. Davis, in it letter to council, said: "At the present time we are unable to use. our .Kes1Je well, which is .located south of Exe- ter, due to pollution. Our con - mission. is concerned with the fact: that this .could possibly= oc- cur to our .Marlboro street well if there are no restrictions to building in the vicinity. "I might point out: that .human pollution is the most dangerous kind since germs of typhoid fe• ver, paratyphoid fever and dy- sentry are.,confined in the dis- charges of man. This type of pollution could or•,igi.nat:e from cesspools or wastes thrown. on Order study into drain to meet housing needs Shouldtown council spend Council gave Mayor. Pooley permission to continue his development on Huron street, where services are now provid- ed. however, it appeared coun- cil would allow construction on only two lots to the north of Huron and two on the Dow sub- division north of Sanders. Discussion of the developments consumed. the major portion of a four hour council session and. it embraced the establishment of the new planning board, policy of the PUC and .building in other areas. The. proposed $48,000 drain under study would run from Huron or Sanders street to 'the river, relieving the Ann street drain of that ;portion east of Ed- wardand providing drainage for several hundred lots on the east side. - Construction of this drain was recommended. by Engineer B.

Only municipality which has not passed the bylaw is Stephen township but no reason has been given. It has been reported that officials in this township esti- mate cast of the dam will be too high even with federal assist- ance. Reeve Glenn Webb was not available for comment Wednes- day.

(hal„ the Thomas street area, west of Carling, was being opened for building. "The consumption in tows. reached a new high of 934,700 gallons on July 9 and to pump this meant our facilities were taxed to the limit. This is ap' proximately 300,000 gallons more than the peak of other years. With this in mind,, the commis- sion felt that all steps should be taken to insure that 'the present supply of water will remain free of contamination." Mayor R E, Pooley said the commission is awaiting the de.- cision of the Canadian Canner3 Ltd. in regard to its proposed ex- tension of the local plant before it makes plans to enlarge its present supply. He said that in,, addition. to constructing a kit= (ration planet to use water front tbe. Ausable river, the PUC may he able to tap a sizeable spring near the Moody well in Usborne township. The spring was dis- covered by the Ontario Water Resources Commission in recent surveys of the area.

Advising council of i.(s inveee ligation, the unit said: "A series of samples has beet taken from this watercourse 4 various places within and with* out the town. of :Exeter. These in* 'dicated the presence of arsenics; but in a concentration which is Ie'ss than the maximum sug. gested as >t safe limit in drinke ing water. "This investigation does not rule out the possibility that en some particular occasion higher concentrations of this element may hhve existed. as a'result 'of an unusual. incident, At the time of this investigation and at blue points sampled, however, the concenteation of arsenic was ing finitesimal •and not considered hazardous." Copies of the report Were .for• warded to Preston Dearing, RE l Exeter, who lose a beast thiel spring through arsenic poison- ing, and t0 the OWRC, which has also agreed to conduct an investigation.
