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-

ways.
Master of ceremonies will be
Harry Crich, Clinton, the county

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

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

provals in the original count and
were not retained. Charged with arson,

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.

Gospel service

Eighty-five carloads attended
the first drive-in gospel service
at the Starlite theatre, Shipka,
Sunday night.
Rev. C. A. Britton, G r and

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

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.

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-
