As the counciPs library board representative he announced an increase in the 1959 grant to the library bringing it up to $400. Mr. Gill complimented Clerk Murray DesJardins for his ex. cellent work and his thorough knowledge of village affairs. Councillor Bill Sturdevant ex- pressed his willingness to run for council for a second term. Mr, Sturdevant discussed the work of the water committee and explained the current situation in regard to test drilling. In August, he stated, seven test holes had been drilled and of those the first seemed most favourable. Further test pump - in of that hole however was not up to expectations. He an- nounced that shortly another hol.: will be put in with different equipment and more- testing at this site will be done. ' Questions from the floor indi- cated the interest which ratepay- ers have in this project. Mr. Sturdevant answered the queries and used chalk illustrations to clarify his explanations. Drilling to date has cost $7,500 and another $1,500 will be spent for the upcoming tests. Councillor John Manore an- nounced that the Ausable Con- servation Authority is planning work at Walker Creek to help stop erosion and clean up the creek. Councillor William Cochrane thanked-. his supporters and stated his intention of running for office again. Stewart Webb said that he would make his decision Tues- day. Eric Mcllroy complimented the council on the work it has done. Arthur Pugh, nominated for reeve, said he would consider the nomination and decide on Tuesday. W. F. B. MacLaren chairman of the iniblic school board dis- cussed the growing need for fur- ther classrooms. He announced the rental of the Church of God basement for a kindergarten which will begin operating in the new year and the hiring of a teacher for this group who will assist with other grades during afternoon classes. An addition of at least two rooms seems inevitable according to current enrollment figures, stated Mr. MacLaren. Such an addition would cost about $40,000. Ken Young who was reap- pointed to the school board won- dered whether two rooms would be enough since this would just provide for adequate space for the current enrolment and would merely free the basement of the school which has been con- verted into two classrooms. Lawrence Mason thanked the ratepayers for his reappointment to the school board. William Love, chairman of the PUC, announced that the com- mission is negotiating a rental - purchase plan to buy property for an office since the present headquarters has been sold. There was a discussion of this project from the floor. Asked if the acquisition of this property would increase rates Mr. Love stated that it was in- evitable that rates would be go- ing up and that the purchase it- self would not affect them. Cam Chapman, reappointed to the PUC, said that although last year he inferred that rates should be lowered it was obvious now that just being able to keep rates at their current level would be a big accomplishment. In discussing the fluorescent lighting of Main street he ex- pressed a hope that eventually all approaches to the Bend would be as well lighted since tourists usually stop when they see bright lights. Mrs. Emery DesJardins re- ported for the Forest District High School Board and stated that three new rooms are near completion and that Grade 13 students last year averaged 84.5%. Digressing from her report, Mrs. DesJardins suggested that population figures on the signs at the approaches to the Bend be updated since they are gross- ly inaccurate; that council should remind its lifeguard that their sole purpose is not entertaining girls and posing for pictures; that there should be more high- way signs advertising the village and said that the weekly newspa per 'Holiday' did not do much for Grand Bend last summer, Mr. MacLaren reported that SHDHS was faced with a heavy increase in enrolment and that $160,000 in additions would be needed before 1961. A discussion among ratepay- ers 'of the pros and cons of sending Grand Bend students to two different high schools ended with nothing being decided. Elections will be held on De- cember 7.

Drivers involved were George Jones and Herbert Broom, both of RR 1 Centralia. New outlook. on •cancer "A new pattern of thinking to- ward cancer has evolved in the last few months" said Mr, Mau- rice Grimes Toronto, secretary of the Ontario Division of the anadian Canger society, in speaking at the meeting ef the Exeter and District Branch Mon- day evening, "The danger signals, that have been publicised so widely, are not the right approach" he con- tinued "rather think of hew to prevent pancer by being con- cerned with our health at all times and being more tempe- rate in many things we do - in our attitude toward food; to- ward sunlight, toward smoking and toward activities." He advised his listeners to de- velop a happy outlook on life for there is a definite tie between physical troubles and mental at- titudes. Research units are being es- tablished across the country at Toronto, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Vancouver and now one is slated for London where re- search workers devote their whole time to research rather than trying to combine research with their profession with better results on both counts. Mr. Grimes paid tribute to the Women's Service committee who have found so many ways to help cancer patients. "It will still be a long fight and addi- tional effort will have to be put forth year by year" he said. Mr. Grimes was introduced by Mr. Ray Mills. President Mrs, Allen Fraser presided for the meeting and announced that Dr. D. A. Ecker had been appointed medical advisor for the branch, The January meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. followed by a unit meeting at 8:15. Selections were given b y Woodham quartet, Glen Cope- land, Norris Webb, Harry Hern and Ken Blackler, Mr. Mills led in the singing of Christmas ca- rols with Mrs. Ken Ottewell at the piano.
