On Saturday a group of 65
grade 13 students, the students'
council and nine teachers tra,
veiled by bus to. Toronto to see
the musical comedy entitled
"I Can Get It for You Whole-
sale".
This trip takes the place of
the usual graduation banquet
held yearly for grade 13 stu-
dents. Grants of $2.50 per stu-
dent were given by both the
student' council and the school
board to help to cover the cost.
GOING STEADY
One of the most controversial
social questions for teenagers
concerns the pros and cons of
going steady. Here are just a
few opinions voiced by students
on this topic.
A 12B Boy: "It is not a good
idea especially among younger
teenagers. In some cases it may
interfere with their scho ol
work. Your outlook on life nar-
rows and your number of friends
decreases if you go steady."
Janet Morlock: "It depends
upon the age of the person as
to whether he should go steady.
If you go steady when you are
too young you miss meeting a lot
of people".
Linda Clarke 11A: "It de-
pends upon the age and maturity
of the people involved. By the
time a person is 17 or 18 he

motions.
“Obviously he took an im-
proper way of finding out," re-
marked Mr. Bell. "Even if the
suggestiOns he made were In-
nocent on his part, they might
threaten somebody in fear of
bodily assault, and therefore
in law it constitutes an assault."
"The Ontario Hospital, God,
erich, has out-patient facili-
ties," said the magistrate. "I
will place him on probation for
one year; I can always shorten
that if everything is cleared up.
He is not to speak to, or at-
tempt to speak to or be in com-
panY of Mrs. Sprackling, and he
will, on a voluntary basis, com-
mit himself for such treatment
as the Ontario Hospital may
prescribe, under supervision of
the probation officer. He will
report to the probation officer
once in two weeks, or as often
as required."
The crown attorney agreed
that supervision and examina-
tion were desirable.
When Mr. Bell pointed out
that Marchand goes to a tobacco
farm later in the year, the magi-
strate said; "He can always get
a dispensation from the pro-
bation officer. He will enter
into his own recognizance."
To Marchand he said: "I do
not want to threaten you or
upset you, but if you do not do
what you are told today and
carry out what you sign, and you
come back before me for sen-
tence for assault on this wo-
man, I think you will go to
jail."
Swimming pool blitz here last
week wasn't as successful as
its organizers had hoped,
Chairman G. John Goman re-
ported Tuesday.
"Several sections of the town
still have to be canvassed," he
said. "The turnout of canvas-
sers wasn't as large as we had
expected."
The cold weather didn't help.
Goman said about $1,500 has
been received in cash and pled-
ges from the campaign so far.
With the previous donations of
$8,350, this brings the total
figure close to $10,000.
The chairman said he hoped
the amount would increase to
$12,000 before the canvass is
completed.
The campaign is being con-
ducted by members of Exeter
Legion, Lions and Kinsmen,
should know his own mind."
Fay Schlenker 12A: "I Weald
say that going steady depends
upon a person's age and how
mature they are. Seventeen or
18 seem to be good ages to
start going steady.'"
Shirley Sauder 11M "Among
older teenagers it is all right.
It is fine at that age just as
long as it doesn't interfere
with their careers or ambi-
tions.
Roger Cann 13B: "It is with-
out a doubt the most ridiculous
custom that I have ever heard
of!".
Ruth Anne Salmon 12A: "Go-
ing steady depends entirely on
the individual. For some it is
not a good idea. Actually the
average student doesn't have
enough time for school work,
extra-curricular ac tivities
AND going steady."

UWO VISIT
A group of 25 grade 13 stu-
dents recently made a trip to
Western University to acquaint
themselves with the subjects
they intend to take next year,
First on the program was a
welcome address and several
lectures given by both univer-
sity students and professors on
two subjects of their choice.
After lunch there was an after-
noon assembly.
The s tudents toured the
grounds of the university and
saw a Gilbert and Sullivan ope-
retta ,,H.M.S. Pinafore". The
teachers, Miss E. McTavish and
M.C. Sanders, who accompanied
them, spent most of the after-
noon talking to the professors.
Democracy is the consensus
of opinion of the majority of the
people crystallized into law.

has been around $3,300 in recent
years.
The board asked for a con-
tract to consider.
The board also:
Learned that the agriculture
department suffered a loss of
some $800 on projects through-
out the past year;
Purchased a new spirit du-
plicating machine at a cost of
$250.
The principal felt the board
"should try to keep thlS school
filled to provide a balance be-
tween here and Clinton (the
composite school)".
"This would be more eco-
nomical than building more
rooms •pp there and emptying
this school", he said.
in order to provide for all
grade nine and 10 courses here,
the principal said the first step
would be to provide a com-
mercial department, nucleus of
which is already established at
South Huron. To complete the
technical and trade facilities
required, another shop would
be required in two years' time.
The board proposes a num-
ber of changes to the existing
building to provide more of-
fice space but this will be
financed out of current funds.
CATERING SERVICE
The board was impressed
with a proposal for catering
service from the Beaver Food
Service Associates, London, al-
ready operating cafeterias in a
number of schools, in the Lon-
don area.
Representatives explained
that the firm's fee for handling
the operation would be 6% of
total sales with a minimum of
$900. Any profAs in the opera-
tion would go to.the board; in
turn, the board would assume
any losses.
Bob Keulman and J. 0. 0'
Rourke, from the firm, pre-
sented typical menus provided
at other schools, along with
prices which would be charged.
Three adult staff would operate
the service, with assistance
from students.
Besides the cafeteria, the
firm would operate a snack bar
at which milk, ice cream, candy
and sandwiches would be sold.
The firm said it has cut cafe-
teria losses considerably in a
number of the schools in which
it operates. The South Huron

for the first time in this part
of the Province,
Roger Marchand, 32, who
lives a mile and a quarter east
of Exeter, on the St. 'Marys road,
was accused of assaulting Mrs.
Kathleen Sprackling, 57, house-
keeper for Melvin Reid, farmer
in the second concession. of
Usborne. Marchand has a farm
on the opposite side of the road,
a short distance away.

Provincial Constable George
Mitchell told the court that
Marchand had gone to the Reid
farm on the morning of Feb-
ruary 25 to get water. Mrs.
Sprackling was alone. Marchand
entered the laundry room for
water. She reported that Mar-
chand, who had taken off his
outdoor clothes, grabbed at her
and she became alarmed and
put him out.
The accused, a Belgian seven
years in this country, does not
speak English perfectly. Called
to the witness box by his coun-
sel, he gave a long narrative
including alleged difficulty with
Mr. Reid over pay for work and
a statement by Mrs. Sprackling
that he was "the worst farmer
on the land."
The witness said he wanted
to find out on the recent visit
"if she hated me or not." Mrs.
Sprackling, he said, had "looked
town bodies for the coming de-
cade;
Was happy to learn, through
the submission of the annual
statement, that the library

Guest speaker at the Huron
PC nominating convention last
week suggested the prosperity
created by the Tories has helped
provide opposition to Elston
Cardiff in the April 8 election.
Eric Winkler, Grey -Bruce
MP in the last parliament, out-
lining the healthy state of the
economy, said:
"Implement dealers tell me
their business is five times that
of last year and perhaps that is
the reason the man who is run-
ning against Elston has chosen
to do so--he feels that under a
Tory government he can afford
to run."
The comme n t drew both
laughter and applause from the
PC audience.

BIKE LICENCE PENALTY?
Police Chief C.11 MacKenzie
asked council to consider es-
tablishing a penalty in the bylaw
requiring bicycle owners to
purchase licences, The request
was turned over to the police
committee.
The chief said the licencing
had proven a "great asset" in
locating lost and stolen bicycles
but, because no penalty is pro-
vided, the number purchasing
the 50-cent licence is declining
each year.
The chief also revived the
question of a two-hour parking
limit on Main St. "to keep the
traffic moving". He volunteered
to take a survey of cars which
parked on Main St. most of the
day and his offer was accepted.
This matter also was referred
to the police committee.
Council, as it usually does,
pointed out a number of cases
where individuals leave their
cars parked throughout the day.
Councillor Wooden said: "May-
be we should think about going
to meters."
Council also:
Approved erection of banners
by the PUC for the July 12
celebration of district Orange-
men here;
Authorized attendance of
Constable Lloyd Hodgins at a
provincial police traffic school
this spring;
Agreed to call tenders for
the renting of a portion of the
Stephen township farm purcha-
sed for the sewerage system
lagoon;
Learned that the planning
board, preparing an official plan
for the town, is requesting pro-
jections of expenditures from
PUC, school boards and other
Negotiations are taking place
with the Ontario Water Resour-
ces Commission over the es-
tablishment of frontage prepay-
ment rates for sanitary sewers
and operation of the plant when
its construction is completed,
Reeve Glenn Fisher reported to
council.
Fisher, who chaired Mon-
day's meeting in the absence of
Mayor Simmons, said the mayor
and he hadtalkedtocommission
officials during the good roads
convention in Toronto last week.
The reeve said prepayment
rate would probably be $6.00 per
foot frontage, compared to the
established annual charge of 42
cents per foot which amounts to
$12.66 over the 30-year period
of the sewerage loan.
It was suggested that ar-
rangements for prepayment be
made as soon as possible.
The revenue from prepay-
ment, according to Fisher, can
be used for only two purposes:
extension of sewers or for re-
tirement of debt. Council has
considered principally the for-
mer.
The town officials learned
that a public hearing will have
to be held on any extensions
proposed. This includes the
short stretch on Huron which
is being considered to service
the nurses' residence at the
hospital.
Also discussed were the qua-
lifications of the man required
to operate the sewerage system,
which council is taking into
consideration in the employ-
ment of a town works manager.
OWRC indicated it wishes to
interview the applicants when
the town has narrowed the num-
ber down to three.
People who have no money to
speak of just have to do their
own talking.
