Aid bowling club
At the request of petitioners
W. E. Middleton and Howard
Truemner, council approved a
$100 grant to the Exeter Lawn
Bowling Club.
Councillor • Simmons asked
why the members of the club
couldn't finance their own
operation. Deputeelleeve Fisher
wondered why the grant was
increased from $50,00 to $100.00.
The grant was approved with
several members abstaining.
Council has supported the club
because its greens on Main St.
provide a beauty spot for the
town and benches for citizens
to relax on during warn stun -
mer evenings.

"I can't see why the increase
in water rates should affect hy-
dant rental," contended Sim-
mons. Mayor Ppoley suggested
he take it up with the PUC,
Farrow felt council should
question if the inerease is war-
ranted,
Delbridge: "1.1 they don't

Simmons: "That's all right.

Lowers drain figure
Drains chairman Taylor said
his committee did not foresee
any major work this year and
felt the budget for this de-
partment could be lowered
from $5,000 to $4,500. This is
less than a third of the amount
spent on drains last year
when council made major re-
pairs to the Anne and Alexan-

Protests band grant
Simmons protested the $500
annual band grant, pointing
out that the organization sel-
dom makes an appearance.
"One member of the band told
me they were dead but •they
won't Ile down," he said. "If
that's the case, we could push
them over by cutting off the
grant,"
The mayor appointed him to
determine if the senior band
is still operating to the extent
that it meats the municipal
grant.
Simmons also questioned the
$4,000 grant to the community
centres board, which operates
the arena. The citizens, he
said, already were paying

How to get the most
from your life insurance
It's .a three step suggestion and, as it should, it starts with you,
When you purchased life insurance, you no doubt had in
mind definite jobs for it to do for your family if you die;
for you 11 you live, But time brings many changes ...
and it makes good sense for you to review your objectives and
to check whether your life insurance currently meets them,
There are two other people who can help, The first is
your wife. Your life insurance is designed for her and the
family and it's wise to have her know your plans.
The more she understands your objectives, the more she will
be able to help you keep them up-to-date, and the better
she'll be able to use this priceless protection that is being
paid for through her careful budgeting.
The second is the Man from Manufacturers. Through him,
the flexibility of your policies will come to life. His experienced,
practical recommendations add up to an invaluable source
of service for you now and for your family later.
