GRAND After planning since June for a, turkey shoot on the beach at Grand Bend this month, the Chamber of Ce r ce has withdrawn its request for per- iniSaien to stage the event in that ipeation. At council meeting Monday night, strong objection to the event was -expressed by Omen- ciller Ian Coles, who has been opposed to the shoot since it Was first suggested, Also a member of the chain- beg, Mr. celes noted that since the e pt ire chamber was re- questing permission for the shoot, that if any accident pc,- curred, all members of the chamber would be held respon- sible. lie did not think that this was right, since some members would be unaware of this, and would be in a position they had not bargained for.

Test line for Lake Huron water supply completed The two-and-one-half mile test line at Grand Bend first step toward London's Lake Huron water supply — was completed Monday. The line, composed of 13,000 feet of one and-one-half inch plas- tic pipe — extends northerly from the Grand Bend pier to the intake site, about 8,000 feet out from the shoreline. It was laid by the four-postedbarge above. London PUC is awaiting delivery of some test equipment before actual work can begin. The equipment will be located on the pier at Grand Bend. During the next year, engineers will make daily tests of the water, to assure that it is not contaminated or polluted by icing, turbulance and other changing lake conditions. Completion date is slated for 1970. --Dinnin photo Mrs. John Whitehouse, 89, who has made her home with her daughter Mrs. W. H. (Minnie) Parker, Huron $t.

DEMAND POLICY Councillor Doyle,, who has advocated en several. occasions the establishment policy for members of the town works row, was joined by Councillor Wooden in a renewed dernand resulting from discussion about an employee who IS off .work because of a broken leg. Council. decided the employee should. receive two weeks' sick leave even though the accident occurred on his own time, fact which brought about some objection. The finance committee, who had been asked months ago to prepare a policy for such situa- tions, was chastised by Boyle for not acting on the matter. Wooden rebuffed the mayor, chairman of the committee, for scoffing at the criticism. "I think this is serious; we should have one," said Wooden. Council also: Authorized a review of town streets by the police committee with a view to installing more "yield" or "stop" signs; Ordered the repainting of "no parking" warnings on cross- walks in the business section; Learned from Clerk C. V. Pickard that a county bylaw makes town council responsible for the establishment of a local emergency measures organiza- tion; Instructed the PUC to start billing sewerage users their increased fees for water rates the beginning of the month fol- lowing connection; Granted building permits to Milton Keller, Wellington St., for a house; R.

TOWN WORKS — Continued from page 1 Mr. Zonnenberg indicated he was not qualified to advise coun- cil on the connecting link situa- tion but offered advice on pro- cedure. The PUC had planned to in- stall underground lighting at the same time as the drain goes in but the official indicated departmental subsidy is paid on this work only at the time the highway is rebuilt. This also applies to curbing and gutter- ing. Mr. Zonnenberg indicated subsoil tests would be required to determine whether or notthe highway would have to be re- built or only repaved. He sug- gested that the condition of Main St. did not appear to warrant construction for a num - ber of years at least. ,his ..opinion that he felt .specific individuals would be ready to accept responsibility .for .anY accident that might occur, yellowing the initial request for permission to hoicithe sheet. this spring, an amendment was. made to the firearms by-law in the village, So. thatengalliaaa, Hens- _multi apply for .apertn it to hold. a shoot within. the cipality, During the three read- ins given this emending by- law, Councillors Was are arm amd Greiner were in favor, with Councillors Cedes and Deslara dine against, in each of the readings, the deciding vote was -east by the reeve, and the by- law was passed, Since no members of chamb- er were present other than those men who are also councillors, President 0. Wassmann with, drew the -request of the chamber for the event. • Thi$ does not cancel ail possibility of a shoot being held somewhere this fall, but it does create a situation where there is little time to plan for it. The Department of Public Works of Canada will be ad- vised that the village is still very much interested in fair - chase of the Grand Bend air port, land and buildings. WATER SURVEY COST An invoice from consulting engineers, M. M. Dillon and Co., for $1,100 was filed, This is the cost of preliminary sur- vey work done on a proposed water system for the village, The property committee, headed by Councillor Coles will investigate the heating system of the village hall. The 15- year-old furnace which was in, stalled when the hall was built, may need cleaning or replace- ment. Al Dayman, dockmaster, re- ported a successful season with receipts of $1,664 for dock rental this summer. He asked that -better water and hydro service be made available to the boats on the river. Both Councillors Wassmann and Desjardine favored putting some of the revenue from the docks at work modernizing the facilities there. SEEKS ADVANCE POLL Councillor Coles asked that an advance poll be arranged for on the Saturday prior to the municipal election this winter. He said that out-of-town rate- payers were disenfranchised as the situation was now, Coles contended that an ad- vance poll on Saturday would bring people to the village for the weekend. The clerk was authorized to find out how an advance poll affected licensed outlets, before action was taken.

Flasher and clearance lights required by a public emergency vehicle will be Installed on the district's mutual aid fire truck. Authorization was given by Exeter council Monday night after hearing a report from. Oeinielllor Ted Wright that the law might consider the vehicle Inadequately equipped if it be - came involved in an accident. At a Previoua meeting, Wright charged that the lack of lights on the vehicle endangered the lives of firemen when the truck was on the road in the evenings, Tie also revealed a number of wiring Problems on the treck. Monday night, he divulged an even more hazardous situation. A shprt circuit had developed in the system, he said, which caused the motor to cut out if the siren was turned on. He said both firemen and police constables had examined the truck and judged it wasn't properly lit as he had indicated. He urged the installation of clearance lights on the front and on the back, along with a $72 revolving flasher, light on the roof. Mayor Simmons requested Wright bring in an estimate for the purchases and installation. Councillor Boyle couldn't see the point: "We've got to put them on, regardless of what it costs. I move we buy the lights." Wright-seconded the motion and it carried without opposition. Council approved a procla- /nation regarding fire preven- tion week, Oct. 6 to 12. LIQUOR PERMITS DOWN The number of liquor permits being issued for town functions is decreasing, according to a report from Police Chief C. H. MacKenzie. The chief noted only 18 have been issued this year, compared to 28 a year ago. During August, the report indicated, only one reportable (over $100 damage) accident occurred; 11 traffic charges issued; 19 warnings given, one minor theft reported, and two dogs impounded. The number of bicycle licen- ces issued for the year total 248. LACK POOL LIAISON Lack of communication be- tween the swimming pool com- mittee and town council became apparent during discussion re- garding the amount of moneythe municipality will contribute to- ward the school. Joseph Wooden, a council re- presentative on the committee, said he had been requested to learn what grant the town will make to the project. Mayor Simmons, somewhat annoyed, said council had al- ready intimated that it would spend up to $3,000 toward con- struction of a booth, dressing rooms and toilets in connection with the bathhouse. This was on the suggestion of the RAP com- mittee. "They haven't met with RAP, showed us their plans or any- thing," continued the mayor. "We want to know what's going on because we have to provide new facilities for the park next year. If we don't hear from the committee, we'll have to go ahead on our own." Councillor Wright, who has attended several meetings of the committee, said it was "still If your 1956 Ford was just right for your garage you will find the 1964 Ford Fairlarie most attractive. The 1964 Fairlanes combine proven performance with family-sized in- teriors. The new roof styling presents a wider, lower appearance as depicted in the Sports Coupe model pictured here. The highly-sculptured sides provide the Fairlane with a new look of grace and tautness. Engines include the economical six cylinder and the high per- formance V-8's.
