Bruce Forrest, a 13eyear-eid from AR 4 Hensall, moved into the top spot in the grade 10 Plaza. He Was. Second in grade nine. Barry Morlock, son of Mr, -and Mrs. Ray Morleck, RR, 2 Crediten was second and the two Saud er children were third and fourth. Marcia, who topped the grade nine list last year, placed third ahead of her brother, Ray. The two, along with sister Shirley, were members of the HSDHS Bible Club, which won the Iluron-Bruce-Grey title re- cently. The two grade 10 stu- dents memorized the e ntir e book in the Bible on which the quiz was based. raise at least $15,000 through selling $100 shares and could then borrow another $15,000 on the strength of this capital to get the $30,000 needed for the interested industry. "We should not have any trouble at all in raising the funds," Tuckey predicted. "It's there and everyone realizes they'll share in the benefits of a. new industry." He said the Corporation has been assured that as soon as they have the money the sod will be turned for the plant. The E*eter Inclustria.1De- velopment Corporation, which has been fishing for industries for some time, decided two weeks ago to add a lure by at- tempting to raise funds locally to lend to any interested in dustries to erect a building. The idea appears to have been one of their wisest moves to date as they already have a big bite on the line and they haven't even dug up the bait yet. Shortly after the idea of es- tablishing a building loan fund was made publicly known, an in- terested party approached the Corporation, and indicated he would "call your bluff", and would definitely establish in Exeter if they could provide funds for a building. Chairman Ross Tuckey call- ed a quick meeting of the Cor- poration and the directors im- mediately swung into action to see if Exeter citizens would fi- nancially support their share selling program. They have, and Tuckey re- ports the response has been "wonderful" and estimates they have in the neighborhood of $10,000 pledged to date. He said they would have to For the fourth time in five Years, Jim Carscadden has won the top scholastic honor in his The 17-Year-old son of Exe ter's assessor, grip Carscad- den and Mrs. Carscadden, Jim this year won the top honor in the grade 12 class at "HSDHS, The youth started his award winning beck in grade eight when he was the top male grad- uate at Exeter Public School. He earned top spot in grade nine and then after slipping to a still commendable second spot in grade 10 he came back to cop top spot An both grade 11 and 12: Jim still finds time to sing in the choir at James Street United Church and is a member of the Leareers' of God Sunday School class. An ardent swim- mer, he has his senior swimmer badge and also enjoys several other sporting endeavours as well. Jim was the only repeat win- ner of the top place in any of the classes this year. Evidence of the keen compe- tition at the sohool is shown by the fact two of last year's runners-up moved into top spot and there was considerable "shifting" among the top four in each of the four grades. Bob Bennett, son of Rev. and Mrs. Lyle Bennett, Kirkton, was second in the grade 12 standing behind C ar scadde n. Elaine Powe, an accomplished pianist, was third. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Powe, RR 1 Centralia, and is no stranger to the top echelons of her classes. The fourth place finisher was Shirley Sauder, Exeter, one of the three chidren of Pastor and Mrs. Stanley Sauder who placed in the top four of their classes. KIRKTON WINNER Topping this year's 1 ar grade nine class was 14-year- old Dennis Hazelton, Kirkton. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Jack Emery, Who operate a grocery store in the village.

The 16-year-old was second last year in grade 10. Bryan is also a sports en- thusiast and has played on sev- eral championship hockey teams. Following him was Carolyn Campbell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Campbell, RR 1 Exeter. A couple of students from Huron Park finished third and fourth. They were RobertStorie KELLER PROPERTY While Corporation directorS have asked that the name of the interested party not be pub- licized, they have been given permission to release the iden- tity to any persons who may want to know before purchas- ing a share. This is being done in some instances to prove beyond any doubt that the project is de- finite. An official of the new in- dustry has informed the di- rectors that the plant would employ at least 15 to 20 on opening, and would probably in- crease to at least 40 within the year. Persons employed wouldpri- marily be in the woodworking and carpentry line. The plant would be erected on the Keller property on high- way 83, east of Exeter and would be within the Town limits. Tuckey, who noted the Cor- poration directors hadn't even dreamed of such quick success, pointed out the move proves — Please turn to back page Kids prove attentive audience_ at school Any teacher would probably be happy to have such an attentive group in any classroom and this photo is indicative of the interest area elementary school students had when they listened to lectures at the conservation school held at Camp Sylvan last week. With the success of the school beyond any doubt, officials are already suggesting it will be carried on next year and perhaps to an even greater measure. T-A photo MPP told to slow up Egg vote approved by slim majority? Success prompts plan for continuing 'school' Hon. C. S. MacNaughton was released from London hospital on Saturday following a 10-day stay, and has been advised to take things easier for awhile. The hard working Minister of Highways was in hospital for treatment of a blood pressure condition. Mrs. MacNaughton reported he was in Toronto on Tuesday for a meeting he "felt he had to attend", but the family plan a vacation at Norman Heights. "I hope we can keep father there," Mrs. MacN au ghton stated. Report change in businesses Milt Robbins reported this week he has sold his Canadian Tire Corporation business to Don Jones, Toronto. The change becomes effective on -July 12. The change in ownership will bring further changes as Jones will move the CTC business to part of the store owned by Sandy Elliot, just south of its present location. Jones will have his retail out- let in the south side of the Elliot store which was formerly a drug store. The Elliot Furniture store will be reduced in space to occupy only the north portion which previously hoased the Bell Telephone switchboard. An addition is being put on the rear of the portion being used by Jones. The 34'x30' structure will be used as his service centre. Robbins will remain in busi- ness at his present location and plans to operate a mower and cycle shop. The local business- m an has taken several courses on small motors. All other employees of the present Canadian Tire Cor- poration store will be employed by Jones. He will continue to use the present service centre until the new building at Elliot's is com- pleted. classes throughout the period of one month. About 350 former and present pupils and residents attended a reunion at Lumley School, Sunday, and the afternoon was spent informally in reminiscing and renewing old acquaintances. It was the last reunion to be held in the school, which was built in 1904. The building will soon be sold as students will attend the new central school being erected intisborne Town- ship. Guests were present from Kitchener, Blenheim, London, Sarnia, Goderich, Palmerston and many other Western Ontario centres, as well as the sur- rounding area. Mrs. Ethel McDougall Peiffer was present from Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Mervin Ryckman attended from Flint. The latter's father, Grant Ryckman, RR 1 Hensall, was the oldest ex-pupil in attendance. He is 90. A number of former teachers returned including the follow- ing: Belle (MacDougall) Mc- Ewen, Exeter; Helen (Anderson) Dawson, Exeter; Lila (McCul- logh) McKaig, Cromarty; Mary (Thomson) Parson s, London; Ray Creech, Exeter; Fletcher Whitmore, Kitchener; Reta (Rowe) Smith, Exeter; Mabel (Workman) Stanlake, Exeter; Mrs. Jean Mair, Exeter; Mrs. Beth Batten, Exeter. Tables were bountifully laden with food for the noon meal. Arnold Cann called the gather- ing to order and said a few words of welcome. He then called on Mrs. William Cann to lead in the singing of the blessing, after which all enjoyed a smorgas- bord dinner. Ernest Pym was in charge of registration, Some of the former pupils stayed close to 6:00 p.m. as they obviously enjoyed meeting at their old school on this final opportunity.

Although returns are still not official on last week's vote by egg and poultry producers, Doug Miles, Huron County ag- riculture representative, said it "would appear" the Farm Products Marketing Board will recommend to Hon. William Stewart that the egg vote carry. Miles stated "just a little over" the necessary two-thirds majority was r e gist e r ed by those in favor of the plan. Voting was extremely low throughout Ontario as approxi- mately 2,000 of the 30,000 eli- gible voters turned out. Huron County had about one-tenth, as 202 farmers cast ballots in Clinton and the other three polling stations. However, while the number of voters was low, they did re- present about one-third of the total chicken population. The 202 who cast ballots stated on forms they owned 260,000 birds. The total population of birds over six months old is in the neighborhood of 740,000 ac- cording to Miles. There were two spoiled bal- lots and 141 for in favor of the plan and 59 against. In each of the four centres there was a majority in favor, although Huron voters did not give it thenecessary two-thirds backing. Only 28 ballots were — Please turn to back page The committee in charge of organizing the area's first con- servation school have termed the effort "succ es sful" and worthy of consideration for an- other year. "We will certainly recom- mend that it be run again," commented Terry McCauley, Au sable River Conservation Authority field officer. While he noted it was only conjecture, be saidthatthe suc- cess of the school has opened thoughts of conducting such a school on a permanent basis. Other members of the com- mittee are: Gil Burrows, area public school inspector; Ray Bryson, district Scout executive for the London Scout council;' C. P. Corbett, Lucan, repre- senting the ARCA; Bruce Perry, teacher at HSDHS. The committee met Monday and one suggestion presented was for a co-educational camp of this nature with entire class- es and their teachers being in- volved. They suggested such a pro- gram could be carried on for a week-long period again, but there was also a suggestion they would receive greater support from schools for a two or three- day session or even a one- day school held for various Opening track for speedsters The former Grand Bend air- port will once again echo to the roar of giant motors and speedy craft. However, most of the travel- ling will be on the ground, unless some drivers attain greater speeds than what they think they can. On Sunday, the Grand Bend Dragway will open with races featuring speedy cars that can hit an high as 180 MPH, The races will be staged over a quarter measured mile and advertised prizes are $1,500. Jerry Eagleson, Grand Bend, is the track owner and the races are being run by the Grand Bend Dragway Club, Popular officer retires to town Squadron Leader W. D. "Wal- ly" Burton, CD, of RCAF Station Centralia, was honored at a mess dinner recently on the occasion of his retirement front the RCAF, Burton retires after having served 24 years with the RCAF. For the past four and a half years he served as Senior Ac- counts Officer at Centralia. Although not a native of Wes- tern Ontario, Burton and his wife, Helen, have planned to retire in the Exeter community for 15 years. Their plans have been final- ly realized and they, along with their son, Scott, have taken up residence at 69 Gidley Street, East. Wally has accepted a poe sition with the Accidental Life Insurance Co. Both he and his Wife are ardent golfers and curlers, and may be located at either place during the respective seasons. SOME FAULTS As may be expected, due to the fact this was their first ex- perience in such a venture, the committee realized some faults were inherent in the schools this year, but were extremely pleas- ed with the reception they re- ceived from elementary and secondary school pupils from the Parkhill and South Huron district. Comments from the lads showed they enthusiastically enjoyed the outing and gained valuable knowledge into the many aspects of conservation they were given by the technical specialists who lectured. McCauley said some of the lectures may have been too long and the students given too little time to do the work expected, and said the committee realized some streamlining would have to be done. He suggested they may con- sider fewer subjects and having them covered better, rather than attempting to cover as many topics as they did this year. He said the geology and fos- sil formation study given by UWO's Profeesor Winder was the most popular with the stu- dents, but that the weather stu- - Please turn to back page in Exeter and Hensall, the Rev.
