Minister dies in crash Exeter's minor hockey pro- gram, threatened by an abrupt ending due to a lack of money for ice time, will be featured in full force on Saturday, Feb. 17, in a "Family Night" pro- gram arranged to raise funds to finish the season at the local arena. flee Director Boom Gravett and Arena. Manager Alvin Wil- lert have finalized plans for thc night that will see alt Ex- eter's minor hockey players in action in a four-hour program. Gravett and Willert are hop- ing that the event will raise at least $300.00, the amount needed to pay for the ice time to complete the schedule in the local house leagues and also for all-star teams to play in WOAA playoffs.' The young hockey players will he selling tickets for $1.00, which will entitle an entire family to admittance to the games, featuring youngsters from five years old to 16. Out of funds Actually, the recreation com- mittee expect the minor hoc- key funds to run out this Sat, tirday, but they will carts' the program until the February 17 date. However, if they do not receive support at their "Fam- ily Night," indications are that the entire minor program may come to an abrupt halt at that time. Although it has been known for some time that there would not he enough money to carry on the program under its pre- sent schedule, neither the minor athletic society nor the ree committee have made any efforts to raise money to carry their program to the end. The rec committee did write a letter to the arena hoard stating that they were out of money and were desir- ous of a meeting to discuss the problem, but the letter did not reach the arena board in time for their meeting last Wednes- day. So far, the minor 'program has used almost all the $1,100.00 set aside for hockey and it is expected to run out Saturday. This money is the . total do- nated by the three Exeter ser- vice clubs, RCAF Centralia and Dashwood. This is actually slightly high- er than has been spent in other years, but the funds have run out due to higher rental rates at the arena. Throughout the past 10 weeks, the minor pro- Lions fete personnel . Exeter Lions Club enter- tained over 40 members of the RCAF at Centralia Friday night. at a dinner meeting at the Colonial Hotel, Grand Bend.

This figure is expected to drop for the remainder of the season as the Exeter minor all-star teams are eliminated from playoffs, Need higher fees Rev. 13ren deVries, a mem- ber of the rec committee, said he felt the registration fee of 250 per player was much too low. This fee had been set at the beginning of the season by the minor athletic association, who disbanded about three weeks ago, "They spent all our money and then folded," Rev. deVries stated, "dumping the whole problem onto our laps." He said he would favor a hike to $2.00 for registration for house league players and higher for players selected for all-star teams, He pointed .out that in some centres, bantam players are assessed $3.00: midgets pay $5,00 and the juvenile players pay $10.00 . "The boys should pay higher Ices to Show that they are in- terested in playing hockey," he said. However, he said not all the money should come from registrations alone, but noted they could hold special projects to raise funds. Rev. deVries said he thought the arena rates for minor hockey were' too high, stating that they were higher in Ex- eter than in other centres,' "I can't see the arena making money from our minor hockey alone," he added. He pointed out that the arena was an asset to the entire com- munity as it produced healthy boys and girls, built good citi- zens and gave the kids some place to run off excess energy. Will build park store The Dep't of Lands and Forests called tenders this week for operating the conces- sion at the new store and re- freshment booth recently com- pleted at the Pinery Provincial Park. The 40' x 30' structure houses a combination grocery store, souvenir counter and will be in operation this summer, The store was built under the direction of the department to serve the needs of the heavy influx of campers that visit the park each summer. Pinery superintendent Gar Myers pointed out that stores were being built in most panics, except the smaller ones. He stated that many families moved into the park for two- Week periods and many hund- reds drove back and forth to work, leaving their families Wtiliout any transportation to get into area shopping centres. The move is also expected to cut down on the amount of traffic on the park's roads which has caused considerable havoc during the past, Tender ferrets and detailed information are available from the Aylmer °filet of the dist- rict'forester. Area MP's view Middlesex West iii? Bill Thomas says both Prime Min• ister Diefenbaker and Liberal leader Pearson jumped into the political gutter last week as the combatants warmed up for this year's election. Here's his description of the opening barrage, contained in his regular column, "Report from Parliament": Mr, Pearson led off for the Liberals and spoke for 21/4 hours. He was in great form and heaped ridicule and scorn on the government's record with libtle or no restraint. He accused the government of preferring agitation to edible- istration and of conducting an electoral war of nerves. He characterized the govern- ment's defence policy as one of indecision, 'procrastination, confusion and contradiction, The government's attitude to Britain's application to enter the common' market, he said, was sterile, negative and com- plaining.. lie stated that Cana- da's influence in international affairs has declined in the last three or four years. lie seem- ed to be. thoroughly enjoying himself. His colleagues loved it. Mr. Pearson declared that when the election comes it will not be fought on the issue of. free enterprise versus social. isni ; es forecast fOrecest a Year age by the Prime Minister, but on the record of the government, By the time the, Liberal leader was finished and. his colleagues had given him voeiferotts :arid prolonged applause, the Ceti. servatives were eager for re- taliation. Then came Mr. Diefenhaker's turn. His speech was broken by the supper hour and later by the ten o'clock adjourn- meth. He finished up with an hour on Tuesday morning. 'His speech lasted for three hours and 20 minutes, and when he was finished the Liberals were not exuberant—but the Con- servatives were. Both speeches were terrific, The Globe and Mail editorially described them as being of low political level and I would agree. I couldn't agree, though, with their suggestion that Mr. Diefenbaker was more re- sponsible than Mr, Pearson.

At a special meeting Thurs- day, council approved purchase of the 100-acre fares. from Ernest "Pete" Willard at a price of $22,500. This is $2,500 more than had been estimated in the report prepared by Engineer U. M.

Few pay $20 fee Oily a few car owners are pay'ng the increased fee of $20 for not having third party lia- bili insurance, local licence issuer Ti. G. Seldon reported this week. "We have had only four or five who haven't had insur- ance" said Mr. Seldon. "The number seems to he a lot less than last year." The fee, which goes to the Ontario Unsatisfied Judgment Fund, was raised from. $5.00 this year in accordance with th.: recommendations of the select committee on automo- bile insurance. Insured owners, as for the last few years, must present their card evidencing their in- surance, but instead. of the cards being retained at the re- gistration offices they are be- Mg returned to the owner, Uninsured owners who pay the $20.00 levy receive a re- ceipt which they are instructed to keep. Any owner in the province may be called upon to produce evidence of insurance or re- ceipt for 'he $20.00 levy. If a check is made by pro- vincial or municipal police and evidence of the insurance card indicates that the policy has expired, the owner concerned may be required to pay the $20.00 levy. Mr, Seldon. said sales of li, censes are going "very slow- ly", which means there prob- ably will be another great rush for licences when the deadline conies In March, Theriault new CADO Flight Lieutenant G.
