Don't intend to run: Rowe RECOUNT OK'S MEN'S PARLOR Sewerage hits snag, relet extension work Area crops not hurt yet Lodge aim one school • • Hay school area board trustee Elmer Rowe chuckled this week about Reeve John Corbett's challenge to an election in the fall. "I think he went a little overboard," said the trustee. "I don't intend to run--I've got enough to look after now." Corbett invited the trustee to oppose him at the polls after Rowe said he would "work his heart out" against the reeve in the next election. The remark came during debate over the school board-council conflict on the board's request for funds to erect an addition at Zurich. Afternoon speakers will in- clude Rt. Rev. J. V. Mills, Ontario West grand master and secretary of the Ontario Trus- tees' Association, Huron MP Elston Cardiff and Hon. C. S. MacNaughton, minister of high- ways. Master of ceremonies will be Harry Crich, Clinton, the county master. Other afternoon activities in- elude a sports program for the children promoted by Recrea- tion Director Don Gravett. Fea- tured contests will be one mile and half-mile swims at River- view Park. The evening show starts with a girls' ball game between Ex- eter Greys and Brucefield, at 7 p.m. A professional variety show in the evening will include prize-winning talent--a dog act recently seen on Ed Sullivan's show; a comedian and magician, who won a top talent award in New York last fall; prize-win- ning fiddler Graham Sisters, a unicycle act and the baton- twirling Rithemettes who won three prizes in a recent Dundas competition. A dance in the Legion Hall will complete the day. Exeter's sewerage program struck a snag this week which will cost the town $2,000 and some valuable time. Council learned Monday the company which had won the award to install extension lines on Main, Anne and Huron streets was forced to give up the con- tract because it couldn't post a performance bond. At a special meeting Tues- day night, council re-let the contract to Gaffney Construe- After 16 "dry" years, the beverage room in the New CoM- mercial Hotel at Hensell will resume operation near the end of the year. This is the expected result of the recount Wednesday which resulted in approval of men's beverage room licence for the village. The recount gave the vote for a men's room one-tenth of a percentage point above the 60% required for approval. The women's beverage room vote, although raised, didn't make it. It stands at 59.2. Judge Frank Fingland, pre- siding over the recount, allowed all the ticked ballots which had been rejected in the original count. Some others marked, but not with an "x", were also allowed. The recount established the vote for men's beverage room at 263 "yes", and 174 "no". The total is 20 more than the former result, which was 249 "yes" and 168 "no". The ladies' beverage room result was changed by the al- lowance of 24 more votes. New No Hay vote for licences Two Wyoming area men in- jured in the plane crash north of Grand Bend Friday night are still in London hospital. Pilot John Grieve remains in "serious condition", although Victoria Hospital reported Wednesday he is "b e co mi ng conscious". Grieve suffered head injuries, multiple lacera- tions, a fractured left leg and broken ribs. Passenger Ed South is not as seriously injured but has no re- collection of the crash. Depart- ment of transport officials at- tempted to question him Tues- day but he could remember nothing about the incident. Meanwhile, the engine of the Piper Super Cub, whose failure is believed to be the cause of the crash, is being examined by transport department mech- anics in Toronto. A two-seater high wing mono- plane recentlyimportedfrom the U.S., the craft was coming in for a landing when it struck hydro and telephone wires on the farm of Rufus Turnbull, RR 1 Dashwood, and crashed upside down in a field of grain. Both men were hanging up- side down in the wrecked plane. Neighbors and passers-by .as- sided in freeing the occupants from the craft. Fergus Turnbull, a cousin of Rufus who lives across the high- way, said he heard two suc- cessive "bangs" and at first thought there had been a car accident. He ran out of his house in time to see the plane hit the ground, Other witnesses said the en- gine of the plane seemed to fail as it headed north from Grand Bend. The pilot apparently tried to land in one field, then tried to clear trees and wires to reach another. Hydro and telephone service into the Norman Heights sub- division were cut off by the crash. Huron county crops are not hurt by the current drought but moisture would help them con- siderably, according to Ag Rep Douglas Miles, Clinton. "We're not suffering," he said, "but rain would do an awful lot of good." The beet crop is not looking well. "We don't think this is entirely a moisture problem but moisture would overcome it," Mr. Miles said. "We've found a lot of root maggot in beans sown in spring .plowed fields. The ag rep said he viewed a "terrific crop" of beans near Kippen in which he said the plants "came within four inches of closing the rows right now". This would indicate that mois- ture is not the entire problem with this year's bean crop. Some winter barley has been threshed in the Hensall area. The corn crop is only fair at the moment. Don Graham, area manager of Canadian Canners Ltd., said the dry weather was causing some difficulty with the pea crop, "They are not maturing as evenly as they would if we had sufficient moisture." totals are 263 for and 176 against, compared to 243 and 170. The results differed by only two more "no" votes for the women's room. Owner of the hotel, Maurice Tudor, naturally was pleased with the result. "I'm quite happy, not only for myself but for the town." The hotel, he felt, would once again become a centre of community activity. DEPOSIT REFUNDED As a result of the change, the $100 deposit which Mr. Tudor had to make for the recount will be refunded. The hotel owner indicated it would probably be about six months before the hotel would be serving beer and liquor, providing regulations are' met. A preliminary application must be made first to qualify for the licence application, which will include plans for the renova- tion of the premises. The li- cence is not actually issued until the renovation is com- plete and passes inspection of the liquor licence board. Attending Wednesday's re- count, which took three hours, were Earl Campbell, village clerk; Mr. Tudor, for the af- firmative; Albert Alexander, for the negative; Elmer D. Bell, QC , representing Tudor; and Peter Raymond, Exeter lawyer, representing the village. Dining room and cocktail lounge licences received ap- provals in the original count and were not retained. Charged with arson, crashes into bridge A non-religious public school system for all children and a British flag for Canada are two of the current objectives of the Orange Association which cele- brates the Battle of the Boyne here Friday, according to Oli- ver Jaques, Hensall, a past county master of the lodge. "We advocate one school in which no religion is taught," Mr. Jaques explained. "We are opposed to separate schools because we don't think public funds should be used to support religious teachings. We have enough churches to do that." "A lot of poeple have the idea we are against Roman Catholics. That is not the truth. We are against all separate schools which receive public funds." There is a movement afoot, says the past county master, among Dutch and other deno- minations to establish separate schools. "If we have to support all these various systems, we won't be able to finance proper education for any of our chil- dren." "As far as the flag question is concerned, we support the Union Jack for Canada. But if we can't retain it we will go for the Red Ensign. This is part of our policy of trying to main- tain the British tradition. We feel the Union Jack should be incorporated in anyflag adopted for Canada." The Orange lodge also under- takes charity work, supporting an orphan's home in the Toronto area and contributing to retar- ded children's schools. The or- ganization turrently is raising funds to erect a home for elder- ly people. Sewerage should be in operation next weekend Rapid completion of the sewerage project here means the system will probably be ready for opera- tion by next weekend. Work on the lagoon, above, has been completed with the exception of sodding which will be done in the fall. However, council had to re-let contract for three extensions to the program this week when the original contractor was unable to produce a performance bond. Harry Dillard, 59, Exeter, charged with arson in con- nection with fire at his home on Huron St, here Dominion Day, was seriously injured in an accident near Lucan Tues- day morning. Fullard was on his way to magistrate's court here from London when his car struck the new bridge on the township boundary road, just south of Clandeboye, about 9.45. He suffered a Severely fret- lured right leg, knee and ankle and a broken left arm, and was taken to St. Joseph's hospital. The impact jarred the body of Gospel service attracts crowd Eighty-five carloads attended the first drive-in gospel service at the Starlite theatre, Shipka, Sunday night. Rev. C. A. Britton, G r and Bend, was chairman for the service which featured a mes- sage from Rev. 3. L. Vinet, Chatham. Music was provided by Goderich Harbouraires male choir. This coming Sunday, Bishop C. F. Derstine, DD, of the Mennonite chtirch, Kitchener, will be the guest speaker. Golf course builder Gordon Smith, RR 2 Zurich, says he has abandoned plans to call for a liquor licence vote in Hay township this year. "We'll leave it until later after we see how things are going," he said. Smith told Hay council at its June meeting that he and his brother, Stanley, are building a nine-hole golf course on their Bluewater farm, near St. Jo- seph. Their present plans are to add 18 more holes within two years. The farmer said this week work on the golf course has been delayed during seeding but expects a bulldozer to begin work again this week. The brothers plan to erect a modern lodge and had discussed with council the possibility of hailing a vote on cocktail lounge and dining lounge licences. tion Co. ' contractors for the principal project, which sub- mitted the second lowest tender for the extensions. The difference in price is over $2,000. N or br ant Con- struction, Delhi, won the ex- tension work with a bid of $13,344.25. Gaffney's bid was $15,419. In addition to the extra cost, the default may also cost time. Ontario Municipal Board regu- lations require that public no- tice concerning the additional work must be given for three weeks before it can start, un- less approvals can be received from all property owners. Council members decided Tuesday night to canvass the owners for signatures. Major concern in the stretch on Main St. from Huron to the south limits, where prepara- tions are being made for re- building the highway. If the sewer isn't installed soon, ex- pensive delays may develop. FINISH MAIN PROJECT Meanwhile, the pr inc i p al $267,000 sewerage project is rapidly nearing completion. On the plant itself, all but the Wir- ing of the pumping station has been finished. Construction of the 22-acre lagoon is completed and a fence is being erected around the area. Only a few lateral installa- tions and some road work re- mains to complete the contract. OWRC Engineer Charles Ke- menyffi reports one-half of the lines have been tested and the rest will be tried shortly. Property owners will be able to start making their connec- tions just as soon as the main pumphouse is put into operation. This is the building near the river, at the end of WilliamSt a which will seed the sewage through the 14" line to the lagoon in Stephen township. Householders will be noti- fied through the press as soon as connections can be made. 45ique Ancestors unveil pl Tribute to Huron's eariess 'rebel' But that was the laSt half of his career--a career during Which he Wore a skull cap to hide his lack of ears, probably lost during the Napoleonic Wars, Scion of an aristocratic Dutch family, the colenePe nett v e army was pressed into Napol- eonic kites and took part in the disastrous cainpaigh Rus- Ala In 1812.
