Cleave Coombs, Seaforth? chairman of the .TUckersmith school area board, said he felt his board would let the central school question “sit until the end of the year'', He also opined that the two would not go together to build one school. ""We feel we should stand on our own feet,” he stated. The Tuckersmith board, along with council, met with ratepayers in Egmondville Monday, and were advised the residents wanted the proposed Tuckersmith central s c heel built in their community, PrevimisV, the Tuckersmith and Stanley boards had both formulated plans to proceed with their own centralschools and each had informed its re- spective council of this inten- tion, However, no definite action has been taken by either, Hendrick stated some of the areas in the west of Stanley were not interested at the pre- sent time and the school area board would probably wait until all schools are tinder the juris- diction of one board. At present, some of the schools in Stanley are in- dependent of the school area board. COST HIGH Murray Dpuglas, cabin oper- ator, said the average business- man' could not afford the water system if it was going to cost him $800 a year. Councillor Qry Wasstoeon agreed. tiT didn't sign for that reason, but we are feeling the pinch for water now and I'm glad to see there are a few outsiders taking an interest in this affair," he stated. Coles noted it may be possible to hook into the London pipeline in a couple of years, but added there was no proof it would be any cheaper anyway. "“It will pay us to be indepen- dent of London or anyone else,” commented Rev. Brittain.

McIlroy said he felt the whole thing centred on money. "There just isn't enough money in Grand Bend," he stated, He added this was surely a distress and questioned if the government shouldn't advance the money to an area in distress. Rev. C. Brittain, president of the Chamber, noted the resort could not afford not to come to an agreement over a waterpro- ject. "Everyone will suffer for sure this summer," he pre- dicted, ""The water will not be in." Councillor Ian Coles asked if there had ever been a poll taken among property owners to de- termine how many really wanted Sales and Service service. Clerk Murray DesJarclios re- plied that out of 750 letters sent out two years ago, only 141 had signed the application for wat- MADE PROPOSAL The proposal to have the two townships go together to erect one school was put forth by J. G.Burrows, South Huron public school inspector. After the two township boards had signified their intention of proceeding on a school in each, he presented the proposition to have them join. He predicted a saving of $100,000 in costs if the two built only one 16-room school as op- posed to two eight-room sch- ools. =- The site for such a building was suggested as Brucefield. viding these facilities will con- tinue. Care will also be taken to pro- tect existing commercial areas outside the core area. In the policy in regard to re- sidential areas, no provision is made in the plan for the se- gregation of different types of dwellings in certain areas, but every effort will be made to encourage builders to build on 'hone 235 -1100 EXETER Hunter -Duvar Ltd. discourage a ribbon-like com- mercial development on Main Street betwden Victoria and Alexander (north end) Streets.

One of the important aims in regard to commercial growth is to provide for the prosperity and the expansion of the com- mercial core area and aims to Approve PUC hike Expect 4,000 —Continued from front page the next few years are: RCAF Centralia, London's expansion, possibility of industrial growth in Exeter, population decline in rural areas, general population increase of Ontario. The projected growth for Ex- eter will mean 200 to 250 new houses over the next 10 years according to the official plan data. It will also mean increased recreational activities and pos- sibly a second elementary school. The plan states there is no problem in water and hydro supply for any future growth. The Town has prior claim for water impounded behind Mor- rison Dam for industrial pur- poses and the drinking supply is adequate. The remainder of the infor- mation contained in the appendix provides interesting reading as it deals with physical charac- teristics of the Town, an his- torical summary, land use and a list of the recreational, edu- cation and other c om munity services available. Huron Liberals at a meeting in Clinton Thursday evening named delegates to represent Huron ridings at the annual meeting of the Ontario Liberal Association, being held in To- ronto, May 15 and 16. Huron federal riding associa- tion president A. Y. McLean, Seaforth, and provincial riding president E. B. Menzies, Clin- ton, presided at the joint meet- ing. Delegates named are: Federal Association — John Laport, RR 2, Zurich; Cecil Blake, Dungannon; Mrs. Alex Addison, Clinton. Alternates— Harold Shore, Goderich; John Broadfoot, Brucefield; and Ivan Kalbfleisch, Zurich. Provincial Association — E. B. Menzies, Clinton; Howard Aiken, Goderich; Mrs. Kenneth Bridges, Exeter. Alternates— Mrs. Elmer Cameron, RR 4, Seaforth; G e o r g e Dieckert, Zurich; Larry Wheatley, RR 1, Dublin. Clinton addition — Continued from front page in Clinton under a "handicap". The board said if the move is accepted, it would investigate a vocational addition for Seaforth to include motor mechanics and machine shop training. The Sea- forth school now offers only ele- mentary drafting and woo d- working in grade nine. Board members noted that Seaforth is the least equipped of the four schools as far as shop subjects are concerned. The motor mechanics and machine shop instruction are on the list of courses to be offered in grade nine at all four schools. A standard course has been drawn up by Dick Har- land, vocational director at Clinton, so all grade nine stu- dents would be on an even basis when they went to Clinton for the remainder of their edu- cation. All grade nine students in the four and five-year courses will be taught at their home schools this year — and until 1967 -- due to the fact there is presently no room at Clinton for them. The Seaforth board also passed a motion at their meet- ing in favor of keeping grade nine classes at Seaforth on a permanent basis instead of sending first year students to Clinton at any time. While the boards have agreed to keep their grade nine stu- dents at home until 196'7, this agreement is to be reviewed at that time. Projected enrolment figures for the Clinton school show that if the grade nine students are kept home, the smaller addition for 380 students would suffice at the planned opening date of September, 1965. sites suitable for the types of buildings to be constructed. The industrial policy out- lined calls for the Town to at- tempt to secure additional in- dustry and insofar as possible retain choice industrial sites within the municipality. Of course, every reasonable effort to retain existing industry will be made as well. The remainder of the plan dealt with parkland, develop- ment, streets and roads and development policies. It is intended that the policy in regard to the latter will be to ensure that no urban develop- ment shall be undertaken with- out municipal water and electric power. A careful study shall be made before development pro- ceeds in areas lacking storm sewers and sanitary sewers. While the Town's objective is to provide adequate drainage and sanitary sewers for all areas, development in certain sections will depend on the Town's ability to provide these services. dangerous due to the fact the local men had to get up as high as 30 feet to service the new lights on Main Street south. He also explained this type of equipment would extend the useful climbing years of more qualified linemen and will en- able them to work right beside the younger, junior men, He went on to list the equip- ment owned by other commis- sions of a similar size and in all cases they had considerably more trucks and equipment than here. —Continued from front page The proposed truck would be equipped with a detachable in- sulated bucket from which men could work safely on lines and street lights, as well as for trimming trees. It has an auger for digging holes and will also hoist poles into place. He quoted an article from the Electrical Utility Safety Asso- ciation which noted "the trend to aerial basket equipment is certainly a new and better ap- proach to more efficient and safer overhead line work, and can undoubtedly be considered the greatest advance in equip- ment for our industry in many years". Davis told council the PUC had already received a warning that the practice of having men climbing high on an unsupported extension ladder was "unsafe and should cease".

CORRECTION—In the outline of proposed commercial rates, the service charge was listed incorrectly as 400 per 1000 watts. The charge should have read 500, the same as the exist- ing rate. NEED STORAGE The PUC Manager informed council the storage was needed for several reasons, one being that Ontario Hydro has asked them to purchase their needed supplies elsewhere as they are not stocking as much as in past years. This would mean no imme- diate supply would be available for the PUC, requiring them to stock more on their own. He explained at present they only have the PUC basement, porch and two small frame sheds. In asking for approval of the increased rates, Davis noted that the PUC was similar to all other businesses in that its costs were going up. "And the trend will con- tinue," he predicted. He also informed council the PUC could increase the rates even without council approval. "They're quite within their rights and we'll just have to accept it," commented Coun- cillor Derry Boyle. Approval for the issuing of debentures will have to be cleared by the Ontario Munici- pal Board. Start work on Usborne central school Excavating machinery started this week at the site of the new central school for Usborne Township, although the contract has not yet been signed between the school board and McKay, Cocker Con- struction, London. Board chairman Elson Lynn explained the OMB had to approve the contract before it could be signed. He said the contract price would be released at that time.--T-A photo VELVET SHEEN VELVET SHEEN VELVET SHEEN '...11181111111111111111111114111111 4111 I 11111111111111111111111111111 11111 111181141111 I 111110111111 I I 111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111142, Chrome & Metal Polish regular Giant Thirsty Sponge regular Velvet Sheen Your Choice \% per ,.

CASH CARRY Bonus Coupons Under the new rates proposed by Exeter PUC, cost of power for industry remains "very competitive", according to Manager Hugh Davis in his out- line to council. He indicated plants with a high load factor could wind up with a lower bill than they're paying now. The proposed industrial rates, omitted from last week's report, are as follows: Existing—Service charge $1.20 per kilowatt per month of connected load or maximum demand; 2.10 per KWH for first 50 hours' use of connected load or maximum demand; 1.0 per KWH for the second 50 hours' use; 0.30 per KWH for the balance. Proposed—Service charge $1.00 per kilowatt per month of connected load or maximum demand; 2.30 per KWH for the 1st 100 hours' use of connected load or maximum demand; 0.50 per KWH for the 2nd 100 hoUra use; 0.330 per KWH for the balance. This rate has an increase in the first and last block of kilowatt 'hotirS with a lOWer middle rate. It also standard- izes on the 100 hoUrs' use of Connected load, a Method now beind used by most utilities. • Manager,Davis commented; "For comparison Purposes the Ontario Hydro Power rate is: service charge $1.35, 1st block 3.0, second block WO and re» maining consumption at :330.

Constable Glassford stated all the boys had been drinking. George Eisenschenk, 28, Woodham, was fined $35 and costs of $7.50 for a similar infraction. Constable Lloyd Hodgins, Exeter, reported he found liquor in the car of the accused on March 24. Two area drivers also paid fines of $5.00 for minor in- fractions.
