Since he started, Paisley has taken pictur es of all areas where work was done and can easily determine to what extent they must be repaired. Reeve Fisher, Deputy-reeve Bailey and Councillor Wopden volunteered to assist in this work.

On the beach parking is regulated, and 25 cents a day is charged in the fenced off area, during busy .periods of the week. Paul Wa.dsorth, Toronto, who has had experience with the Harbour Police of that city, outlined to council an idea he has for running swimming classes both at Grand Bend, and other municipalities and cottage areas along Lake Huron. Money received from these classes would pay for trans- portation to the lake and life- guards for the area. Also, he hopes to have a beach patrol, which would warn vacationers of the dangers of using inner- tubes and other beach toys in the water. Council asked him to return to the next meeting, June 1 to report on progress made in his organizational work. held, and preeiclente of all pere ticinating gepepe formed a semi-circle !Were them, Mrs, Margaret PieherOen) Terente, immediate past-pre- eiderit of the Ontario Provincial Command was guest epeeeer, Also preeent was Mrs. Bezina Snelgepye, Wyoming, pee come mender for the local zone, Mrs. Snelgrove reported a total of $20,000 raised in 1963 from a total membership of 360, A cheque for $151 was sent to Westminster Hospital on be- half of the zone.

A village bylaw prohibits the setting off of any type of firecracker, rocket or similar explosive anywhere within the village. There is no law prohibiting the sale of these items. Though the village does not expect much more trouble with this until near the July 1 holiday, they will use space in the Grand Bend News- Bulletin, and in the Exeter Times-Advocate to advise the public of the existing bylaw. Fines applicable are from $1 to $50, and council will request the police department to levy the maximum fines. Seven area crashes MONTHLY PHONE BILLS John Hood approached council and asked them to request the Hay Municipal Telephone Sys- tem to render monthly invoices for commercial accounts. He said it was impossible to check on long distance charges three months after they had been made. He noted that summer em- ployees often were gone with no forwarding address, before the invoice with toll charges was received. Tuesday, approximately 35 students accompanied by the echpol librarian, Mr, V. Dinnin, travelled to London. These she; dente, all librarians, have faith, fully worked in the lib r a r clueing noon hours and before and after school, Their work Includes repair- ing booke, cataloguing bOoks, tidying them and checking them out. The first stop of their bus trip was made at the London Public Library and they were taken on a guided tour through the Immense building which also contains an art gallery. They ate their lunch at Vito's Cave. The specialty peeved here is pizea. The inside of this restaurant is, similar to the inside of a cave complete with a waterfall. After lunch they visited the library at Beck Collegiate and this concluded the trip, These trips are made yearly to London and last year they visited the London Free Prese. Our congratulations go out to Carolynne Simmons who cap- tured the senior girls cham- pionship at the Huron-Perth track meet in St. Marys on Thursday. She collected three firsts in the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash and standing broad jump and so got 15 of South Huron's 31 points. We were quite a few points behind St. Marys who won, but at least we weren't last. This meet had been scheduled for Wednesday in Mitchell but He was travelling north on highway 21 some three miles north of Grand Bend at 11:40 p.m. Saturday, when he attempt- ed to pass other northbound cars during a heavy fog. While he was doing so he collided with a southbound car driven by David B. Cuddy, 17, RR 5 Strathroy. Damage was estimated at $900 in the two-car crash. Discuss addition —Continued from front page be changed over to an electrical shop. Besides the advantage of be- ing able to give vocational train- ing at their own school, the board is interested in the move due to the fact it is also ex- pected to cost area ratepayers less money than the $225,000 addition they have been con- sidering. Vocational facilities are covered by a 75% grant from the governments, with no maxi- mum. The academic addition would be eligible only for 70% grant, and then only up to a maximum of $150,000, regardless of the cost involved. Johns noted that another of the great benefits would be the elimination of the extra bus time for students who now have to travel to Clinton. WON'T SELL GARAGE Steve Smith requested on be- half of the Winter Sports Club, permission to buy a garage on River Road, for the sum of $25, and the club would move it at i ts own expense. Council de- cided to keep the garage for storage purposes. —Continued from front page He said he had come to the point where he could only handle so many evening meetings, and didn't feel able to take on this responsibility. Mr, Pickard also explained Exeter had one of the first active committees in the County and it had fallen through be- cause the first co-ordinator here had been unable to gain the interest of others. Forbes said he felt interest fell off because there were too many people who were onlyvol- unteers, noting that under bill 91, town employees could be forced into acting on such an organization. "If a person is a town em- ployee it is necessary for him to work," Forbes added. "That's the law." Councillor Boyle came back with the opinion that if Mr. Pickard did not feel he wanted to handle the assignment, there wasn't a person in Canada who could make him. He appeared to express the opinion of council by telling Forbes they had no intention of loading the clerk with these extra duties if he did not feel able to handle them. Mayor Simmons said he felt the police office was a more logical place for the two-way radio as there was someone there throughout the day, while the clerk's office was only oc- cupied for eight hours. He then told Forbes council would go into his proposed bylaw later in the meeting or at an- other time. After Forbes left he asked council for volunteers to look for someone to act as 'co- ordinator in Exeter. He quickly named Deputy- reeve Bailey and Councillors Taylor and Delbridge to find someone. "Is that your pr i vile g e?" questioned Delbridge. "He has that power under bill 91," replied Reeve Fisher, end- ing the discussion on a note of laughter around the table. In his report, Forbes also told council he hopes to have a mutual fire aid agreement set up for the county, but said this would probably not come about until Goderich named their fire chief on a full-time basis. He also outlined plans for an auxiliary police force in each town. In other business, council: Decided to hire Industrial Split on flag —Continued from front page torical Red Ensign" adopted as the official flag. "Is it more historical than the maple leaf?" questioned Mayor Simmons, noting the de- sign favored by the Prime Min- ister. Councillor Delbridge entered the breezy debate by exclaiming that the debate over a flag was uplain stupid". "With all this arguing it shows people musn't have much to think about," he added. The Mayor then pointed out the Red. Ensign was in fact not a flag, but Wooden stated it could be declared as one. Councillor Boyle said he fav- ored the Pearson flag, adding it was the first time he had ever agreed with anything the Lib- erals had proposed. Delbridge then contended the maple leaves on the flag should be green—not red—as three- quarters of the life of a real maple leaf was in effect green. "Red shows up better," ar- gued Simmons. Boyle chided Delbridge about his color plan and noted most people painted maple leaves red. He then asked Delbridge what color he painted maple leaves when he went to school. "Green," came the reply, ending the debate on a round of laughter. Simmons then called a vote as some of the members were standing up and leaving the chambers, and after looking at the hands, dismissed council. However, Wooden demanded another vote be taken and the hands be counted. It was found there were four in favor of backing the Red Ensign and four against. This left the Mayor to cast the deciding ballot and he de- clared the original motion de- feated. —Continued from front page LONE FATALITY The lone fatality occurred on Sunday at 10:30 p.m. when Lorne Elford Herm, 23, RR 1 Woodham, struck the Holstein cow on high- way 83, about three miles east of Exeter. The cow, which was valued at $250, was owned by Lloyd Bal- lantyne. Damage to Hern's car was estimated at $200. The only other person injured in the weekend crashes was Marie Kathleen Keller, Dash- wood, who suffered a cut chin when the car in which she was riding crashed into a tree in front of the William Miller resi- dence in Dashwood on Monday at 8:50 p.m. Milo Henry Westlake, 22, RR 3 Exeter, was driver of the car and was eastbound when for some unexplained reason his vehicle went off into the north ditch. The car was damaged in an amount of $50.

Agreed to have the depart- ment of highways again paint centre markings on MainStreet from the south limits to Huron Street and then from Gidley Street to the northern limits, instructing the clerk to ask that the hill north of the bridge also be marked as it had been missed last year. Were told none of the police were interested in attending the Ontario Police College this year. Received information from a local dealer that he could supply a street sweeper at a much lower cost than what had been indicated at a previous council meeting. No action was taken. Decided not to pay the $15 membership fee into the Muni- cipal Police Governing Author- ities Association, although Boyle noted it may be a good counter-balance to the powerful Police Association. Wooden contended there were already too many commissions, author- ities, etc. Approved construction of a $600 drain south of the Brewers' Retail store to alleviate the flooding conditions along High- way 4 in this area. Suppose you do believe too much, it is safer than believing too little. T. C. Haliburton IN CEMETERY Fortunately, only one area driver is believed to have end- ed up in a cemetery and he was apparently only there for a short time and was on the ground and not under. Police were called to Kirkton for their first investigagion of the weekend when it was report- ed a car had run into the fence and damaged some of the pro- perty at the Presbyterian Church cemetery. It was believed the damage was caused between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. in the morning and it was estimated at $50. Later in the day, as a result of their investigation, police charged Douglas Mark Ulch, 21, Kirkton, with failing to re- port an accident. CARELESS DRIVER The other person charged with careless driving was Jon Mark Wilton, 19, Louise Blvd., London.
