While the familiar entrance and bridge will stand for the summer, visitors to Grand Bend will notice a change on the east side of the highway, formerly the Manore property, which has been cleared and levelled. Until the Department of Highways is ready for it, permission has been granted the village council to make use of it. Council has proposed it be used as a sum- mer parking lot.

Dredging at the mouth of the river will continue this year, in spite of reluctance of the con- tractor, George Crow, Picton. Mr. Wassmann said that the contract was for 12,500 yards of sand to be taken from the two troublesome sand bars. Al- though the spring ice cleaned out the bar immediatelyin front of the river-mouth, "We still have 8,500 yards of sand to come, according to the con- tract'', Wassmann said. About 4,000 yards were removed last year. On a motion by Councillors Ian Coles and Rollie Grenier, the group decided to buy space in the newly-established News- Bulletin each week on a year- long contract, subject to the approval of the 1964 council. In connection with the plans for a new town-hall and reno- vations to the police offices, Mr. Coles suggested that abut- letin be sent to all tax-payers explaining the need for the $27,- 000 expenditure. "I think we need to explain why it's $27,000 instead of the first estimate, $22,000", com- mented Mr. Wassmann. He later explained that the group had been advised to add all expen- ses to the basic building es- timate. The difference is made up by legal and registration ex- penses, cost of the vote and in- terest payments.' Clerk Murray De sJ ardins ap- peared briefly to advise council to set the mill rate at the next meeting, that the dog tags were in, and to suggest that mer- chants' licenses be collected at the same time as the assess- ment was taken. During the meeting the group approved cheques totalling over $3,300. Reeve Stewart Webb directed proceedings and James Dalton was acting clerk. cost of approximately $15.

The latter will finish examinations June 18. Reporting on the vocational school at Clinton, Garnet Hicks said the board is considering the acquisition of playground area, since none at all is pro- vided at the moment. He also reported the cost per pupil is expected to de- crease from $2.28 per day to $2.16 per day during the com- ing term. In regard to the long-debated question on whether or not stu- dents should provide smocks or have them provided by the board for the shop classes, Hicks reported the board had decided the smocks will be purchased by the students at a Coroner Dr. J.

A. 13ower- ing, Seaforth, said Hoffman was travelling west on the county road when his car went into the south diteh and hit a, maple, about 26" in diameter. The car squashed around the tree in the shape of a horseshoe—wheels on the right side of the vehicle were only 20 inches apart. The accident occurred about 8:50 pm, First on the scene were Allan Brokenshire, Zurich, and Glen Nixon, Hensall, who hadassist- ed Hoffman in getting his car out of the ditch shortly before the accident. Earlier in the day, it is understood, Hoffman was in Port Huron. He drove back to Zurich in the afternoon, picked up the Brokenshire youth and they went to Seaforth where they had supper. The victim died of a frac- tured skull. His body was found at the edge of the car. Dr. God- dard attended and he was first taken to South Huron and then to London hospital.

EXETER FINDLAY ROTISSERIE NEW DISPOSABLE OVEN LININGS — — Continued from page 1 saddling on the school area is tremendous". His comment followed a re- port from Secretary Howey on the reaction of a departmental official who felt that to not make the plan retroactive would be unfair to present members of the staff retiring before 1963 but who also indicated that the board should take a close look at the amount of gratuity. Mickle pointed out that a num- ber of present staff members will retire within the next few years and established that the board would receive no pro- vincial grant on the gratuities it might pay. Later, the Hensall repre- sentative suggested decision be postponed until the "rural areas have a chance to talk to their representatives to see what the reaction is." MacLaren said it was not the management committee's idea "at all" to exclude teachers who will retire within the next 10 years, providing they have had 10 years continuous ser- vice. He was firm that the management's committee's proposal meant that such teach- ers would share on a "pro rata" basis, depending on the number of years they serve after September, 1963. Principal Sturgis pointed out that unless the plan is retro- active any teacher on the staff "has prejudiced him self by staying here". He felt the teach- ers would have received the bonus if they had been at other schools where the plan was retroactive. Garnet Hicks, U sbo r ne, a- greed with Mickle that the board should consider future costs. He pointed out some of the salaries being paid to starting teachers at the new vocational school which were as high as $7,000. This would be reflected on costs in future years, he said. During the discussion, Prin- cipal H. L. Sturgis announced he would retire in one more year. "That's a promise," he told one member who question- ed his statement. It was earlier indicated that the principal might remain for sometime be- yond the normal retirement period. ONE RESIGNATION In his report, the principal announced the resignation of Robert Noonan and the hiring of Mrs. Donald Pullen to re- place him on next year's staff. Mrs. Pullen is the wife of the new assistant ag rep in Huron. Next year's staff will total 28 and school enrolment will be about '700, the principalreport- ed.
