The. Y0Ptli was sPetted going through the north end intersection without stop- ping, and Constable Lloyd gins gave phase.

The announcement that OWRC would take over the building of the large water main from Lake Huron to London, and would be in a Pnsitipn to supply communi- ties along the way, has been re- ceived with enthuslas m, the Doctor stated, but they now did not know just how to plan. "However," said the doctor, "the distribution system within Grand Bend will remain the same regardless of the source of supply, and our engineer is continuing work on this over- all system," Woodham Dance students promoted Students of the Errington School of Dancing class here performed for parents and friends last week during apromotion program in the library basement which concluded the season's lessons. Three members of the primary class strike a typical pose. From left, they are Kathleen Burke, daughter of FO. and Mrs. P. S.

In the end, decision was that the efficient machines were too expensive, and the ones the village could afford were next to useless. •••'• • en cook breakfast at conservation site We were a part of 141,0019w; we'd be at the west tip.

HEALTH RULES William Rendle, health and sanitary inspector, noted that two eating establishments that had been refusing to do the re, quired things concerning wash, rooms for the public, had been interviewed by a representative of the Department of Health in Toronto. One was permitted to operate this summer on the promise that the whole place would be renovated in the fall. The other one had planned to open his own washroom to the public. Mr. Rendle was encouraged to proceed under the direction of the Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Fred Boyes, Parkhill, to continue action against property owners who continue to put raw sewage into the Walker drain. Mr. Rendle stated that only one property holder, Prosper VanBruane had taken the re- quired action of installing his own sewage system. There was no leisurely Sun- day breakfast in bed this week for members of the Jame s Street United Church AOTS Men's Club. They were up bright and early and on their way to Morrison Dam for an 8:00 a.m. feed of juice, cereal, bacon and eggs— cooked by members of the club over the barbecue grates. Cool morning breezes and the early rising resulted in healthy appetites as the 25 members and their guests kept the cooks jumping. After breakfast, preside nt Aub Tennant turned the pro- ceedings over to Carf Cann, who was in charge of the devo- tional period. A quartet of Ray Mills, Norm Walper, Mery Cud- more and Cann sang one number and led the members in a second hymn. Bill Batten conducted devo- tions and Terry McCauley, field officer of the Ausable River Conservation Authority, was guest speaker. He outlined the history of the Morrison Dam area and noted its value for flood control, water supply, reforestation, recrea- tion, erosion control demon- stration and as a wildlife sanctuary. The members were told na- ture was one of God's master- pieces, "and we are stewards of it". McCauley outlined some of the other projects undertaken by the Authority, and concluded by telling the club members that conservation groups today are challenged to a great degree by the disinterest of the public in maintaining the renewable natural resources of the coun- try. He, also gave the members an insight into the work being car- ried on by the Christian Family Movement of the Roman Catho- lic Church, of which he is a member. We are attempting to change the attitudes in our church," he said, ',and we attempt through "Mermaid" Combination SPIN-CAST Rods By MRS.

A lawyer's letter in behalf of Miss Barbara Allen, whose cottage is located on the extension, warned that they felt the property was being under- mined, and that access by road was difficult. Reeve Webb commented that the situation was a bad one, and that they would have to repair the situation. Councillor Wassmann stated that he had directed certain excavations, and that if his di- rections had been carried out properly, the serious situation now existing would not have occurred. He said he would speak with the contractor that had done the work, and have the damage repaired. GRAND BEND Monthly telephone accounts for all those billings over $10 a month will become the rule by January, 1965 logra.013eN, was the word received by pp4id Bend village council on Monday night from Reg. Black, secrel, tary,treasprer of the Hay Muni, nipe.1 Telephone Qompany. Mr. Black answered queries about why it could not be done sooner by reporting that change-overs in automatic equipment belonging to the Bell. Telephone Company that sorted toll slips, took some time, and January was the first possible date. Request for the monthly bills was triggered two weeks ago, when John Hood mentioned the need during an interview with council when he requested some adjustment be made in his tele- phone account. (Practice is for "in arrears", accounts to be added to the tax roll.) Several amounts in Mr.Hood's account were, he claimed, not owing by him, and should not be charged to him. Following this request, the Grand Bend News-Bulletin printed an editorial calling for some action in this regard and the Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce passed a motion indicating the need for all accounts to be rendered monthly. WATER MAINS Dr. E. A. McMaster, chair- man of the citizens water com- mittee, reported that plans were at a standstill as far as water supply was concerned un- family participation to focus the need of extending Christ's work on earth." He reported the local group meets every two weeks in each other's homes, to discuss scripture and how it pertains to daily living. diThe actions from this group are both spiritual and tempor- al," he said. McCauley was introduced by Carf Cann and thanked by R. E. Pooley. In the business part of the meeting, several members ex- pressed a desire to attend the ceremony in London when Earl Burr, who has been financially assisted by the club, will be ordained as a minister of the United Church. HIGH SCHOOL Council endorsed a resolution from the town of Forest calling upon the Forest District High School to change its method of financing. The board of the school has budgeted this year for a sur- plus of $62,000. The Town of Forest suggests that the board should set up a reserve fund of $20,000 this year. Stephen pupils going to resort At a special meeting, Monday, Stephen Township school area board decided to send students from two sections in the west end to Grand Bend in the fall. This move was approved by members of the Grand Bend board who attended. Students attending will be those from section 10 and a sec- tion known as the B-line school. The latter students have been attending Dashwood in the past. Mrs. Helen Jamieson has consented to teach at the Grand Bend school. She is at the number 10 school at present. The board is also contem- plating the closing of at least two other one-room schools in the township and sending them to other larger schools. On January 1, the Grand Bend School and all others in Ste- phen will come under the juris- diction of one board and plans are already being discussed in regard to a central school in the township.

In other business, council: Awarded the contract for a new culvert on concession 16 and 17 south of Shipka to W. H. Battram, Parkhill, for a cost of $4,032. It was the lowest of three tenders submitted. The highest was $5,494. Turned down a request from Hay council for drainage works on a portion of the Mud Creek drain to give an outlet to the Bender drain. Learned 18,050 cattle had been sprayed for warble fly at a cost of $1,167.21. In 1963, the cost was $1,235.27. Received the Dominion grant in lieu of taxes on the RCAF Centralia property in the amount of $15,826. Of this, $10, 335.25 is the County of Huron share. • Gave approval for the village of Crediton to pave William Street at a cost of $1,100. • Sewer opening Approve addition COUNTY ASSESSMENT Reeve Stewart Webb told the council of a decision by the county assessor to add $20,- 000 to the village assessment for county purposes. This could mean in the neighborhood of $240 extra payment to the county of Lambton in 1965. The adjustment became necessary when, in the judge- ment of the county assessor, the assessment of the Town of Forest was considered too high. A re-allotment of assessment to raise the same amount of Money in the county, led to the raise in Grand Bend. Councillor Ian Coles asked, "What do we in Grand Bend gain from the County?" Clerk M. A. Desjardins re- marked curtly, "We're in a strange position, here at the north tip of Lambton. If we belonged in Huron we'd be at the south tip of that county, and if was the place due to its high enrolment. He went on to say that he expected there would also be vocational facilities built at Goderich in the future. — Continued from front page board was urged to retire once again and reconsider their pro- posal. They did this and returned with an acceptance to allow HSDHS to reduce the committ- ment from 15% to 5% of their total enrolment. They also asked that the agreement be reviewed at the same time as the boards will meet to further discuss whether or not they will keep their grade nine students at home, or will send them to Clinton. 1.95 2.75 4.75 "MERMAID" FISH-GETTING CASTING RODS—REELS 1—MERMAID "EASY-CAST" 1-Piece tapered fibre-glass blade.

Minimum NOT DISSATISFIED Chairman Johns outlined the reasons for the request to the various boards, explaining the suggestion for them to build vocational. facilities had been presented by area inspector, D. W. Scott. "We should make it very, very clear this move is not due to any dissatisfaction with the Clinton school or the courses being offered," added Principal H. L. Sturgis. On questioning, Mr. Sturgis reported he expected about 50 students would continue to go to Clinton after the Exeter facil- ities have been added. These will be students in the terminal classes or those in Special courses not being provided at HS DHS. O. L. Day, principal of God- erich, said the move would be a real saving to all concerned due to the fact an addition would not haVe to be built at Clinton. HSDHS board member, Rev. John Boyne, pointed out the move would also save taxpayerS in the Exeter area some money due to the added grants for v 6c ationai facilities. "The money saving won't be too great," he noted, "but we'll be getting twice as much for our money." Principal H. L. Sturgis also predicted the new facilitieS would entice more students to take vocational training, where- as the distance :factor to Clinton Was at present eliminating Sortie students. H. w. Beatty, vocational Spector, said it was bbVioUt that an additiOn had to be built at One of the four centreSi and said it appeared logical that tetor Parsons drain —Continued from front page time council either told Mrs. Parsons nothing could be done, or else they should go ahead and do something. "Someone's been left holding the bag," he stated. Mayor Simmons outlined a number of the procedures need- ed before any action could be taken, also explaining those al- ready done, and concluded by telling Boyle he should perhaps go down and see the people him- self at night. "It's not my department," replied Boyle. Deputy-reeve Bailey said he felt it was up to Mrs. Parsons to petition the seven or so own- ers to see if they would agree to pay for the line. "She shouldn't have to do that," Deibridge contended. "It's supposed to be up to the taxpayer," Bailey answered in reply. Delbriclge then explained to Parsons that his mother's house had been built on a permit sub- ject to existing drainage and council could not be faulted for theproblem. However, Parsons indicated some promises had apparently been made, adding the house would never have been built had these promises never been Made. More discussion followed, with suggestions on how the owner could alleviate the water problem, and Paisley reported he would contact the owners in the neighborhood on Thursday to seek their answers as to Whether they WOuld help pay for a drain or not. However, it was indicated a lengthy procedure would Still have to be followed even if 100% of the owners agreed to the drain. "At least it Will be a start," Boyle stated. "That's What Pni concerned about."
