J. G. Stanbury, solicitor, and
Mr, Staribury in a letter to the
council stated that the two
eases were entirely different
because the franchise to the
Exeter company had expired,

Fitting. tribute
The recognition of the late ht. Hon• James
G, .Gardiner, throligh the erection of a plaque at
Thames Road, is most deserved, He was a states-
man who expended all of his considerable energy
in the interests of his fellow Canadians,
Born in Hibbert township and raised in the
Farquhar area, he surmounted many obstacles to
become premier of Saskatchewan and agriculture
minister in the federal governments of King and
St. Laurent. His achievement is, as his biographer
said at the unveiling ceremony, an outstanding
example to the youth of today, particularly in this
area.
As cars stream by the Thames Road United
Church along No. 83 highway. not a few will be
reminded and perhaps inspired by the plaque and
what it represents. In addition. there are quite a
number of relatives of Mr. Gardiner whose chests
will swell with justifiable pride as they drive by.
The recognition and tribute inherent in the
plaque is reason enough for its erection. Let us
hope that the encouragement it may give to others
will make the memorial doubly valuable.
Dangerous delay
Canada's defence policy is not only of
general interest to this area but also of particular
concern because we have in our midst the RCAF
stations of Centralia, and Clinton, The men and
their families at these stations are devoting their
lives to the protection of the nation.
It must be keenly frustrating for these per-
sonnel. even more than for the rest of us, to con-
sider the woeful lack of direction and purpose
which characterizes our defence program today.
Inadequately armed for today's warfare and de-
void of leadership, the armed forces have develop-
ed into a rank of stagnation, It would appear that
the political indecisiveness at Ottawa will keep
them in this condition for some time to come-
The government, it seems, is afraid to act,

Our neigh.boring riding to the north, Huron-
Bruce, is the scene of a major political contest
already underway. The eyes of all Ontario
tieians are focused on the provincial by-election
called there to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of John -.Hanna.
Ontario's 110W priule minister, John Roharts,
is testing public opinion in Huron-Bruce, presum-
ably with an eye toward the next provincial elec..
tions which must come some time .Within the next
year or so. Mr, Roberts suffered a setback in the
by-elections held shortly after he was chosen to
succeed Leslie Frost as prime minister. The party
will be going all out to keep the Huron-Bruce seat
in the government ranks,
Eager to chalk up another victory is the
Liberal party -under John Wintermeyer who won
the 'little general election". Already Mr. Winter-
meyer has issued a challenge to Mr, Roberts to
meet him on the platform in Huron-Bruce.
Standing on this spotlighted stage are two
able candidates, both known in this area, The
Conservative nominee is the warden of Huron
county, George McCutcheon, 39. of Brussels, who
is highly respected by his fellow county councillors.
An even younger man, Murray Gaunt, 24, Lucknow,
has been selected as the Liberal standard-bearer,
Air. Gaunt has had the advantage of making him-
self known throughout the district as assistant
farm editor of CKNX-TV Wingham. Before that,
he was prominent in work in Huron and was
a winner of the Queen's Guineas.
All in all, the neighboring contest is shap-
ing up to be one of the keenest in many years,
Minister Diefenbaker, mimicking the tactics of a
successful predecessor, Mackenzie King, is stalling
for time in the hope that some event will take
place which will make a decision universally popu-
lar,
CanadianS should not tolerate such deliber-
ate inertia on the part of our leaders, In the area
of national security, surely, a lack of decision
must be considered just as odious as a wrong one
and potentially much more dangerous,

JOTTINGS BY JMS
11.1 was in march, 1900, that
thp. Village of Exeter entered
into a contract with Chas, B.
Snell for the erection of poles
and the construction of a line to
provide electric light for the
village.
On December 30, 1905, the
agreement was cancelled and a
new agreement was signed
granting a franchise for a pe-
riod of ten years,
The new agreement called for
Mr. Snell to provide 20 or more
fifty candle power incandescent
electric lights at the price of
$16.90 per light for 260 nights'
service in each year or if 30 or
more lights be required, the
price was $16.00 per light, One
50 candle power light in-
stalled on James street cost
$16,90, Twenty 16 candle power
lights that were installed in the
Town Hall cost $43.70 per an-
num. Eleven arc lights of 2,000
candle power for Main St, for
260 nights cost 21 cents per
night. per light.
After a period of four years
the corporation was permitted
to cancel the agreement should
they see fit to establish their
own service. In that event the
price to be paid to the company
was to ..be settled by arbitra-
tion.
Dining the term of the con-
tract, lights were to go on 30
minutes after sunset and con-
tinued until midnight. The cor-
poration selected the 260 nights
for street lighting, the object
being to eliminate the lights on
bright moonlight nights.
The agreement was signed by
C. B. Snell, W. G. Bissetl,
reeve, and Joseph Senior, clerk,
and was witnessed by L. H.
Dickson.

The Birds of America
An excellent book on the
"Birds of America" by John.
James Audahon, probably the
greatest of American natural-
ists and undoubtedly the great-
est of all bird painters, is in
your library.
During the greatest part of
Audubon's life he travelled
through the then frontier coun-
try of America painting birds
in their native habitats. His
great work, The Birds of Ame-
rica. was engraved and printed
in England and at that time
the price of one of these sets
was $1„000, Today the folio of
Audubon's Birds is so rare that
a set would probably bring in
the neighborhood .of $15,000.
This new book contains all
435 of these paintings repro-
duced in the authentic colors or
the original prints. Many of
them are 10"x7". A concise
description of each bird pic-
tured telling its name, where it
can be found and its outstand-ing characteristics is given,
