Court fines
area youths
Juniors reach finals,
meet Stratford today
BY JOHN PRYDE
Playing at Listowel in a sud-
den death semi-final contest
Thursday, November 7, South
Huron Junior Panthers emerged
victors with a 7-3 win.
Their margin of victory was
a converted touchdown in the
third quarter. Listowel could
manage only three singles, all
in the first half.
The win gave South Huron
the right to meet Stratford Ju-
nior Ramblers at Stratford,
Thursday, November 14 in the
Huron-Perth conference junior
final.
In the first quarter, a Lis-
towel punt went deep into the
end zone and Bud Desjardine
was brought down behind the
goal line giving the northern
squad a single point edge.
A short time later, Listowel
regained the ball at the South'
Huron 40 and this time it was
Mark Hinton who was hit be-
hind the goal line after the punt.
A Clinton youth paid a$40 fine
for failing to stop at an intersec-
tion and a Zurich youth was
assessed $35 for having liquor
in his car, by Magistrate Glenn
Hays, QC, in court here Tues-
day.
Robert R. Thompson, 19,
Clinton, pleaded guilty to going
through the stop sign on No. 83
when he approached No. 4 at the
north end of Exeter. The driver
of another car struck by Thomp-
son, Clayton Lang of Harriston,
received extensive injuries, ac-
cording to the crown.
For Henry Brokenshire, 19,
it was his second offence of
having liquor in his car, the
first occurring about one year
ago.
PC William Glassford stop-
ped the car on the Goshen line
and found liquor and beer in the
vehicle. The costs added to the
fine made a total payment of
$42.50. Humorous moment at solemn rite
Although Remembrance Day is a solemn occasion, its observ-
ance is not without some humor when veterans recall old times.
Above, Rev. J. P. Gandon makes such a reference during his
speech to the Legion at Saturday night's banquet. Both Hon. C.
S. MacNaughton and past president Eric Heywood enjoy the refer-
ence. Rev. Ganclon recently was appointed padre of the branch.
After the interception a first
down brought the ball to the
South Huron 10. The punt went
out of the end zone giving Lis-
towel a 3-0 edge.
Mark Hinton intercepted a
Listowel pass and his fine run
back brought the ball to the
Listowel 35. A first down by
Bud Desjardine and another
first down by penalty left the
ball at the Listowel 2-yard
line, But the Panthers were
stopped and their opponents took
possession on their own 5. After
a first down Paul Mason inter-
cepted a Listowel pass on the
homesters ' 35-yard line. Each
team failed to make a first
down and the Panthers regained
the ball on the Listowel 33 as
the first half ended.
Again the home team kicked
off to the Panthers, Scott Bur-
ton, replacing the injured Ma-
son, picked up a single first
down before the Panthers had
to kick. Listowel too was forced
into a punting situation. How-
ever, the kick was blocked by
alert Bryan Baynham who then
fell on the ball in the end zone
for the South Huron touchdown.
Allan Oke converted,
Ausable authority has accept-
ed the functional plans for the
Parkhill Dam prepared by M.
M. Dillon and Co.
Approvals are now being
sought from the federal and
provincial governments before
the engineering firm proceeds
with the final design stage. Ten-
ders will be called when this
latter development is complet-
ed.
At a recent executive meet-
ing, the authority established
a special sub-committee to de-
termine policy in connection
with purchase of land for the
Parkhill dam and to plan future
development.
The sub-committee was set
up following a request from the
land acquisition committee for
direction in regard to the
amount of land to be purchased,
the Toney in regard to nego-
tiations with property owners
and the possible necessity of
securing flood easements up-
stream.
The sub-committee, which
has power to act, consists of
William Amos, Joseph Bryan,
Robert Love, Lorne Hay and
John Stephen, along with Au-
thority chairman Freernanliod-
gins and Craig Leuty, special
field advisor,
On the recommendationof the
engineering firm, a hydraulic
model study of the dam will
not be undertaken because of
time and cost factors. The pro-
vince has been requested to con-
firm this omission.
George Ramage, project en-
gineer, pointed out the report
recommendedpr eparationof
a model to determine the water
flow at the inlet structure and
to evaluate the discharge re-
lationship of the side inlet and
the gate controlled conduit. It
had been hoped, that the model
studi e s could be completed
prior to the end of the year and
that the cost would be nominal.
Investigation with universi-
ties and other sources, how-
ever, have revealed that the
Usborne native
president of firm
A. Liew Stewart, 64, a native
of Usborne township who re-
tired earlier this year as pre-
sident of the Bailey Meter Co.,
died in Montreal hospital Satur-
day.
He was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Stewart, of the north-
east boundary of Usborne who
retired to Exeter. His brother,
J. Almer Stewart, RR 1 Hensall,
and two nephews, Jack and Ray
Stewart, Usborne, attended the
funeral in Montreal Monday.
He graduated from the Uni-
versity of Toronto with a degree
in applied science and later
served as president of the Tor-
onto alumni association.
Mr. Stewart became manager
and director of the Bailey com-
pany in 1923. In 1927 he was
named vice-president and man-
ager. He became president in
1956.
A member of the United
Church and a former Rotarian,
Mr. Stewart was also a member
of the corporation of profes-
sional engineers of Quebec, the
engineering institute of Canada,
the engineers club, Montreal
badminton squash club and two
golf clubs.
He was married to the late
Hazel Florence Dodd, Toronto.
A daughter, Mrs. H. D. Dryant,
Windsor, survives him in ad-
dition to his brother. HENSALL DISPUTE
model study is not possible in
the time required in these cen-
tres. Ontario Hydro wo uld
undertake the work but at a cost
of $9,900, which was felt to be
out of proportion to the value
of the study.
The authority reviewed cost
estimates of $1,162,900 with
the engineers and it was agreed
there will probably be a slight
increase in construction expen-
ses due to a price rise over the
past several years. Also, the
design of the structure haS been
altered due to the change in
hydrology requirements, and
the results of soil investiga-
tions.
Land costs also are expected
to rise above the original es-
timate.
Ramage pointed out various
ways in which the authority
could reduce the amount of land
necessary to purchase.
In regard to land require-
ments, the executive rejected
one suggestion that a profes-
sional planning consultant be
engaged to prepare a master
plan of development of the area,
which will provide considerable
opportunities for recreational
facilities, wildlife habitats and
nature study areas.
The executive turned this
function over to its land acqui-
sition sub-committee.
In other business, the au-
thority:

PRINCIPAL FINED
Lawrence Plum steel, Sea-
forth, principal of the high
school there, was fined $20 and
costs of $7.50 for failing to stop
at No. 4 highway Oct. 16 when
he was approaching from the
east at Kippen. He struck a
pedestrian who was crossing the
intersection, but there was not
serious injury.
"You were in too much of a
hurry," said Magistrate Hays
when he fined Brian Montmor-
ency, 17, RR 3 Exeter, for care-
less driving on Huron St. east.
The youth paid $15 and costs.
Montmorency wasdriving
east, overtaking another vehicle
when he struck a third car
making a left hand turn into a
laneway. The third car, driven
by John McNaughton, had almost
cleared the highway when lie was
struck on the side, Chief Mac-
Kenzie reported.
Byrnell Holtom, 22, Exeter

the future if it is needed''.
As for the cases of other
road closing cited by Donnelly,
Taggart said that Hensall coun-
cil should not proceed just be-
cause other councils have done
it in the past. "This brings up
the two wrongs point again. It
is not a valid argument."
Councillor Baker asked Cook
Bros. if they had investigated
the possibility of securing pri-
vate land. Bob Cook indicated
that several property owners
had been approached but that
the land available was not suit-
able.
Solicitor Raymond at this
point was asked for advice by
Reeve Norman Jones and the
lawyer said the question was
a matter of policy for council.
Shortly afterwards council went
into recess.

Masse was travelling north on
the Goshen when Rader came out
of a farm driveway. Damage to
the vehicles totalled $3,800,
according to PC John Wright.
In another accident Saturday,
a car driven by Philip Davis,
16, Exeter, suffered $150 da-
mage when it skidded into a
hydro pole near the Stephen
township garage at Crediton.
Davis was attempting a turn
when the car went out of con-

MICKLE APPLICATION.
Council then turned to the
MiCkle application for a por-
tion of land at the corner of
Mill and Wellington and re-
quested the lawyers to present
their findings in regard to the
ownership of lands.
Taggart, for Mickles, said the
first plan on the property shoW-
ed a stub of a road extending
Wellington north of Mill but
that it was not shown on fur-
ther surveys nor did it appear
On the Mickle deed. The stub,
if extended, would run into the
Mickle buildings.
For Cook, Donnelly contend-
ed the stub was shown on se-
veral documents and had infect
been used at one time to gain
access to the railway to the
north. He said no action had
ever been taken to close the
road.
There seemed general agree,
merit that only the courts could
decide if the road Allowance:
did, In fact, exist.
Solicitor Rayttiond pointed out
that council, if it wished to
close off the portion Of road,
could also close op the stub in
the ealne bylaw and avoid at-
taining a court decision.
Again because one member
was absent, council decided' net
to proceed' with the question,
'59 Dodge
--Continued from page one
The lawyer said he was not
submitting that "two wrongs
make a right" but felt these
factors should be considered
in assessing the weight which
council should give to the ob-
jection".
The Cook firm, he said, has
been operating in Hensall for
80 years and has been one of
the village's larger taxpayers.
It was a steady-going industry
and it was important to them
to continue and expand their
operations by the use of the
portion of road.
Referring to Taggart's sug-
gestion that the issue might be
taken to court, Donnelly said
"he would be glad to meet him
at any time and any place."
"I wouldn't like to think that
council could be intimidated by
threats of legal action".
"ONLY HUMAN"
In a brief reply, Taggart said
the Mickle application for a por-
tion of road was not a matter
of bad faith, "My client is only
human. If council is going to
give away lands of the village,
they felt they might as well
get some too'', He made it
clear, however, that if the Cook
application was turned down,
the M I 0,k 1 e s would withdraw
theirs.
The white bean crop, he stat-
ed, was growing year by year
and fortunately, these indus-
tries are expanding. ',If coun-
cil gives this piece of road,
what's the next step? If Cook
continues to expand will they
ask you for another portion of
the street, and another portion
after that? Surely council would
be setting an extremely dan-
gerous precedent by closing this
portion of the street."
In regard to the overhang, he
said It had been authorized by
A previous council and, further-
more, it did not involve a con
veyance of land, ',There is a
considerable d if f e rene el "
he noted, ult doesn't prevent
council from using that land in
