Boeenquet and Stephen townships don't want it, The New Venice and Haig peel* aren't interested in it unless it's given to them, and you can't expect a man to pay more for something than it's worth," Bill Schlegel, manager of the Haig farm and a member. of the authority, said: "We simply can't afford it," Ile al- so suggested: "You might be able to buy the whole area for $500,000 and eliminate the need for the Parkhill dam." George Hunt, St. Thomas, farm consultant to New Venice Corp., maintained the dam could not give adequate con- trol of flooding and described the assessment as "very, very unreasonable", Authority Chairman Freeman Jiodgins, requested to com- ment, said a meeting of this type should have been held two years ago. "This could. kill the future business of the authority; it is making us the laughing stock.. It ires me up that we have reached this point before something like this was done," Ile said the authority had not pushed the project. It had re- ceived requests from three municipalities to do something about flood control. in the lo- wer lands, He maintained there was benefit from the dam in terms of both. flood control and rec- reation. "If we don't leave snmething for future genera- tions, we are not doing our job." Robert Love, Bosanquet's representative on the author- ity, was elected chairman of the meeting. Reeve Webb wel- comed the officials to Stephen and indicated he was happy with the turnout of about 60 municipal officials. Reeve Sitter said some 36,000 acres of Bosanquet did not drain. into Parkhill creek sys- tem and therefore would not be, affected by the darn. It could. .not assess its $60,000 share against the Haig lands because it "would just about ruin them," he said. He read a letter from Schle- gel and Hunt which pointed, out that the dam would only effect about 29% of the flood condi- tion in the lowlands. They seriously doubted if the dam would provide much relief. Reeve Webb pointed out that the total proportion of the cost of the dam attributed to flood control. was upwards of $500,- 000. He doubted that this was warranted, He pointed out, too, that if the channel into Grand Bend was to be cleaned out as had been recommended, the Haig property owners would have to pay heavily toward this ex- pense. Said Schlegel: "We're not op- posed to the darn. We simply can't see the benefit from the expenditure we apparently are going to have to 'make," Most of the flooding in his area. came from the Ptsebe creek, he contended, and the dam would not control any of this George Hunt, said the New Venice Corp. had spent $2,000 to $3,000 on drainage during the past year and hoped to get it back, "But $60,000! Will we ever get that back!" He pointed out that the flood control darn did help in On- trolling spring runoff, in 'that the basin could be emptied in Society hears town doctor At the meeting of the 'Huron unit of the Canadian Cancer.

William Goble, an ex-marine, was sentenced to a total of 37 days on three charges of false pretences which resulted from bad cheques he passed in Hen- sall and Zurich areas and se- ven days for taking a car with- out the owner's consent. Goble had already spent the last 21 days in Goderich jail and the terms handed down by the magistrate wilt be conse- cutive. "You need some kind of help," the magistrate said, "and you should be protected from yourself until that help can be arranged. 7. don't think you have command of yourself enough to be trusted." Evidence presented by Con- stable Don Westover, showed that Gabel had received goods and cash in the amount. of $14.12 from two Hensall stores and $25.00 in cash from e Zu- rich garage operator, In each case, he had presented him- self as a salesman for Pear- son Motors Ltd. and had writ- ten cheques on the Bank of Montreal, Zurich, where he did not have an account. Constable Westover pointed out he had also passed worth- less cheques in the Grand Bend area, but his younger brother, Jim, 21, had offered to make restitution to the persons in- volved. "The public have to be pro- tected from depredations such as this," the magistrate told hire. "These merchants are used to dealing with honest people and things such as this will undermine the way of life in these places i.f they are vic- timized by bad cheques." Goble told the court that he had spent over $15.00 in one of the Hensall stores to purchase Chr I s t in a s decorations and most of the $25.00 he had been given by the Zurich man had been spent on liquor for a party at Pearson's. The Grand Bend man pleaded guilty to all three accounts. Bites kindly hand Goble pleaded not guilty to the charge of taking a car from the Pearson Motors Ltd. lot, but- 'fie was given seven days after being found guilty. Evidence revealed that he had been hired as a salesman- trainee by the Zurich firm on December 11, but one week la- ter was taken from the posi- tion and put in the back shop washing and cleaning cars. Goble had been given per- mission by manager Jack Pearson, to drive an Austin win ter and filled f ro. In water in the spring,.

The dam, filled with water for rec. nation. purposee, would not help prevent these disasters, he maintained, Sitter stated that the Bow. fleet council, who were ail present at the meeting, had decided to instruct their Aua- able representetive„ Robert Love, to make a motion at the next regular meeting of the Authority to "(math the whole deal," unless they received a reduction in assessment. "The people doin the As sess- meet in Bosanquet. made a very big error," he said, "be- cause we have only 4,000 acres that will be charged with our full assessment," Webb urged the members to take this declaim back to their municipalities a n d instruct their representatives how to vote if the motion came up, Approximately 12 of the 23 re amber municipalities were represented at the meeting, A number of Exeter and district men — ice fishing ens thusiasts joined the polar bear swimming club involuntarily over the weekend.

S. awarding medical, assistant at RCAF Stetion Centralia, for his ef- forts in saving the life of Beverley Ann Horell and an- other unidentified youngster' off the pier at Grand Bend on August 12. The bar is an ocl- dition to the bronze medal which Corporal }envie won while serving at RCAF Station Penhold sonic years back, The presentation will take place at a later date, car back and forth from Grand Bend "until lie had saved enough money to purchase his own care' On December 26, Pearson noticed. that a 1960 Envoy was missing from his lot and in subsegoent conversation with members of his staff, he di- rected an employee to phone Goble, who had gone home to Detroit for holiday, to see if he knew where the car was. Goble reported that he did not know where the car was, 'However, his brother testi- fied that Goble had started out to Detroit driving the Envoy, but abandoned it at a Forest garage when he had trouble with gas-line freezing. On. January 4, Goble, came to the Exeter OPP detachment office and, gave Constables Westover and Reid a state- ment and they recovered the car in -Forest. Defence lawyer Toni Mur- phy, Goderich, pointed out that Goble had taken the car be- cause the Austin did not run and felt lie had the owner's consent to drive it. "1 find it hard to fancy Mr. Pearson, by any stretch of Go- ble's imagination, would allow the car to be taken to Detroit for such a lengthy time," the magistrate stated. Magistrate Hays questioned the man as. to why he had not stayed behind the other car when he found out it had been travelling at 25 mph. Nixon ex- plained he was in a hurry to get down town because the stores were closing. "You would have been bet- ter to miss the stores," the ma- gistrate replied. "You have suffered an ex- tensive penalty already," the judge said, "judging from your injuries." He warned him to "watch your driving or you'll be walking." Appalled at truck A charge of driving a com- mercial vehicle loaded in such a manner that part of the load became dislodged during tran- sit 'was dismissed against Al- bert Albright, Brownsville. Defense lawyer, L. J. Gent, London, contended that the in- vestigating officer had not pro- ven that part of the load had become dislodged, although lie admitted that it.ntay have been loaded in such a manner as to be dangereaa. Constable Don Westover tes- tified he had been called to the intersection of number four highway and the Mt, Car- mel road and had been told by Lewis Looby that gravel had fallen off Albright's truck and had smashed his windshield. However, the accident had apparently happened on the highway and Westover could — Please turn to page 2 "We were frightened of course," said Ed Johnston, one of the victims anti the last to be taken out of the water, "but we Were. never in any real danger. Everyone took it calm- ly—which is remarkable when you think about it, It might have been serious if there had been panic." The men were in a covered sleigh being drawn by a large snowmobile across the lake to the huts about two Mites out from shore, As the snowmobile crossed a "V" crack on the surface, the ice began to give, Gearing down, the driver kept the machine going until it got on solid ice but the rear of the sleigh dipped into the hole.

M. Aldis, Huron MOH. Dr, Aldis revealed nearly a dozen new cases have been re- ported in the Dashwood, area within the past week. Other cases have been found in the Goderich area, In his report to county .COnn, Cit last week, Dr. Aldis said: "Infectious jaundice smoul- ders here as in the rest of the province, Some authorities feel. that this disease is on the in- crease but our figures are not sufficiently complete to draw any firm conclusions." Earlier this week, a senior federal health officer warned that the current outbreak has spread "out of control". Dr. E, W, R. Best, chief of the federal health department's epidemi- ology division, said there was "reason for alarm" over the increase in incidence, Hepatitis is a virus-borne ina flammation of the liver. The virus is so small it would take 500,000 of them to stretch across a 25-cent piece, , The virus cannot be killed and hepa- titis cannot be cured. Control by hygiene But, 'according to Dr. Aldis, washing your hands thorough. ly with .soap and water will prevent hepatitis, "Good per- sonal hygiene should be prac- ticed," he stated. "H ands should be kept out: of the mouth." in schools, he said, teachers are emphasizing the washing of hands before lunch and after visits to the rest rooms. Symptoms of hepatitis in- clude indigestion, gas in the stomach, loss of appetite, vom- iting and some fever, Patients. become tender in the liver area and feel weak. He said it was difficult to Appeal fails for Kendall The Ontario Court of Appeal deliberated for only eight :min- utes Tuesday before • unani- mously dismissing the appeal of Arthur James Kendall, 51, against his conviction on a charge of capital murder. Kendall was convicted at Walkerton in October, 1961, of the murder of his wife, Helen, nine years earlier. She was 33 when she disappeared from their Bruce Peninsula cabin Aug. 2, 1952, Her body has never been found. Only an appeal to the Sup- reme Court of Canada or inter- vention by the Federal Govern- men now can save Kendall from being hanged Feb. 14, St. Valentine's day,. The court returned its deci- sion without calling en W. C. Bowman, director of public prosecutions, 'for his arguments supporting the conviction. Mr. Justice R. E. Laidlaw said the five-member 'bench found that the charge to the "Supreme Court jury by M r.Justice W. D. Parker, the trial judge, was complete and correct, "When you stop to think about it, it could have been a bad tragedy but it didn't seem so bad at the time, I've been out there hundreds of times without any trouble and be going out again in the future.

William Hyde dies Fiddle king dies at 98 William Hyde, this area's champion fiddler for over half a century, died suddenly Mon- day at the home of his son; Harvey Hyde, RR 1 Hensall. He. was 98. Despite his age, Mr. Hyde enjoyed fairly good health in. recent years and loved to play the violin which won him close to 100 prizes of various kinds. He competed in a contest last year, as he had for years pre- viously. His prizes included trophies, cups, medals and badges, in addition to the many cash awards he's received in var- ious fiddling contests through• out the province. He farmed in the Hensel! area most of his life, living for many years a mile and a quarter south of the village on No. 4. He was a member of Hensall United Church. Surviving are his widow, the former Anne Troyer Bell; one son, Harvey; one daughter, Mrs. Alfred (Violet) Vier, Car- men, Man. -The body is resting at the Bonthron funeral chapel, Hen- sale where public services will be held Thursday, January 25, at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev.

Aldis, "Prevention of the first type is possible through high stand- ards of personal hygiene and general community sanitation with emphasis on control of food and water supplies. The second variety has been traced to infected human serum and requires fastidious techniques by hospitals, clinics etc. where contamination syringes a n d equipment might contribute to its spread, At Monday night's council :meeting, Deputy-Reeve Claude Farrow requested the town works crew to stick as close- ly as possible to its garbage collection schedule. He said he had received com- plaints from ratepayers who objected to having their gar- bage sit outside for two or three days waiting for pickup. Dogs often spilled the con- tents of the cans around the lawns. The deputy-reeve made the request directly to Foreman Gerald Cornish, who attended the meeting at the request of Mayor Simmons. Foreman Cornish ex-Maine& that drains, sanding and other extra duties often disrupted the garbage schedule. Farrow suggested that, as much as possible, these extra duties be executed at times when they won't interfere with the col- lection. Farrow requested and re- ceived, after some delay, the collection schedule as it was Mondays, west side of town; Tuesdays, east side of town; Wednesday, Main Street and north end, Foreman Cornish said spe- cial collections were made Thursdays and what had not been picked up was done Fri- days, Some pickups also were made on Saturdays. Roads Chairman B a i.l e y promptly accused Farrow, as head of sanitation committee, of tieing up the truck for six days a week. This was in re- ply to Farrow's suggestion ear- lier that this year's "aggres- sive" roads chairmen may have been interfering with the gar- bage schedule. Councillors dis cussed the town crew's work with the foreman in what Mayor Sim• mons hopes to establish as a regular consultation between council and the works dep't.

The application calls for fi- nancing the project over a pe- riod 01 30 years with, interest at 5,75 per cent, Proposed changes to ratepay- ers will include a frontage rate of 30 cents per foot, a service connection charge of $4,20 yearly, and a charge of $34 per annum for each dwelling unit. First notice If the applica- tion is published by the Ontario Municipal Board in this week's edition of The T-A. Ratepay- ers have a period of 21 days in which to object to the pro- ject., The commission estimates the annual charge, including interest, debt retirement, re- serve for renewals, replace- ments etc and operating costs to be $34,152 for the first year, increasing each of the first five years until it reaches a total of $41,647. During that pe- riod, it is expected that the number of dwellings served will increase froin 528 to 740. The notice describes the lo- cation of mains for the system which will be erected west of Carling St. Drains chairman Taylor estimated the cost would be about $400, The dept of transport, pres- sed again for a survey of the hazard at, the public school crossing of Main St., said it would not consider making the survey until spring because traffic conditions could not be properly assessed during the winter time.. Thos. conventions As it does almost every year, council bantered about the question of sending delegates to the good -roads. convention in Toronto, Roads Chairman Bailey said one delegate was all that was necessary. "I don't think we get a thing out of it." Reeve Fisher, former roads chairman, said there should be at least four, Asked Councillor W o o d e n: "Does council get a report on what goes on there?" "There's always one in every crowd," laughed Farrow, A motion requiring police constables to retire at the age of 65 was withdrawn at town council Monday night after the move met with varied opposi- tion Reeve Fisher made the re- commendation as chairman of the police committee, which considered the suggestion from a previous meeting. Fisher said the committee felt a man over 65 could no longer tope with traffic prob- lems and young persons caus- ing disturbances, This meant that other members of the force were required to perform extraduties. , At the prodding of Councillor Joseph Wooden, Reeve Fisher admitted the regulation would bring about the retirement of Corporal John. Cowen, who has been on the force for the past 11 years. Wooden said he felt it was a "sneaky way , to dispose of a man". Re suggested the com- mittee should deal with individ- ual eases rather than general- ize, There would be times, he felt, when council would wish to keep a constable over 65 years of age on the force, Councillor Ross Taylor op- posed the move, stating that in Many ways Corporal Cowen was "A very good Man". Bailey seconded the motion, contending that tinder modern conditions it was difficult for MI older man to do an •effic, tent job of la enfoteereent,... Farrow indicated would back the.

Discuss fire policies Council discussed the recent- ly signed fire agreement with the township of Bosanquet and the fire committee were in- structed to set up a m with the townships of Flay, Bo- sanquet and Stephen to discuss protection. The committee was also asked to make inquiries into agreements made with' other urban municipalities to give council a better idea of their responsibilities in fighting fires outside Grand Bend and also for receiving outside help at their own fires, Emerson Desjerdine, chair- man of the committee, reported that repairs arc presently being made to the pump on the large fire truck. Clerk Murray Des Jardins was instructed to notify a firm who had made inquiries into the PS debentures that the deadline date for bids was February 5.
