Fred Sloman, Who now re, sides outlined his experiences of teaching in Northern Ontarie when he con- ducted classes frorp, CNR Rail- way School car One. He made 13 ,stops on his 10.P, mile trip and taught classes that averaged between six and 12 in the remote areas of the north. He described, his concern tor people who are in remote areas. The retired teacher also told the graduates that one of the greatest things to teach was to teach people how to enjoy life. In..an apparent move to give one of the graduates an oppor- tunity to enjoy the art of giv- ing and of being a help to her fellow citizens, Mr. Sloman presented a gold-headed cane to Judy Estey, whom he had picked at random from the class. He told her to take the cane and to lend it to anyone whom she thought may be in need of it. It was pedicted she would gain much from the knowledge that she was able to help some- one in need. The cane was "presented to John Maclntyre from an Exeter friend" in 1907, and fell into the possession of Mr. Sloman. "She received amessage that is a real education if she stops to think about it," commented Gil Burrows, areapublic school inspector, who made the cour- tesy remarks. Burrows also issued a plea to the students to continue their education as far as they can. Principal Arthur Idle, in his last talk to the. graduates, told them not to underestimate their capabilities. "No matter what they are — use them!" he added. Mr. Idle was chairman for the proceedings and the invo- cation prayer was given by Pastor Stanley Sauder of the Exeter Mennonite Church.

The old "1250 Club" had be- come a bit of a joke and some holidayers felt the $12.50 was apparently a small enough price to pay for the privilege of drink- ing in a place other than their residence. • Now it is more! Fine for section 42-1 of the Liquor Control Act now totals $25.00 plus the same $2.50 for costs, and at this price of $27.50, is no longer a laugh- ing matter. Total fines at last week's court were $785.00. Only area person to appear in court that week was Donald Wray Cooper, of Melton and Exeter, who paid $50 and costs for failing to report an accident. His auto was damaged to an amount estimated at $200 when it hit a rock garden in front of the summer home of T. 0. Southcott, Exeter. The garden damage amounted to $100. Lorne E. Hicks Centralia native Lorne Edgar Hicks, 64, died at his home in Centralia Wed- nesday, July 1. He was a son of the late An- drew Hicks and Mrs. Hicks, Centralia, and had lived all his life in the community. In later years he was a fire- men-engineer with the RCAF Station, Centralia. He is survived by his wife, the former Verna Pollock of Ripley, his mother, Mrs. An- drew Hicks, Centralia, three sisters, Mrs. Irvine (Kathleen) MacCauley, Hudson Heights, Que.; Mrs. Sidney (Margaret) Henry, Listowel; Miss Helen Hicks, San Carlos, Calif. Funeral service will be held Friday, July 3 at 2:30 pm at the Hopper-Hockey funeral home, Exeter, conducted by Rev. D. M. Guest. Burial will be in Exeter cemetery. Pallbearers will be Messrs Fred Penwarden, Wilfred Hux- table, George Baynham, Riney Keller, Harold Tripp and Ralph Lightfoot. WILL SUPPORT In view of the success of the venture, Mayor Eldrid Sim- mons called a special joint meeting of council and PUC Monday, to see if these groups would support the venture and provide services to the indus- trial area. Although the press was not informed of the meeting, the Mayor provided a 'recap of the three-hour discussion. "This thing looks like it's going to go— and go big and everyone I've talked to thinks it's a wonderful idea," he said. However, he noted, there was no sense in the Industrial Cor- poration locating an industry if council and the PUC wouldn't provide services to the area and this is the reason the meet- ing was called. One of the problems discuss- ed was the fact the town has reached the peak of the amount the OMB will permit in de- bentures this year, andthe RUC have few funds for extensive work also. PUC manager HughDavis es- timated the cost of water ser- vice would be $26,599 for an 8" pipe to service the industry and also the north end of Exe- ter. At present there is only a 4" main north of the bridge. While the service is not adequate, it was suggested it would do for a year or two by hooking a larger 8" main to the present 4". Cost of this would be between $6,000 and $7,000. Hydro service would cost an estimated $6,000 for the indus- try. It was pointed out the PUC planned several major expenses such as a new line truck and storage shop, and possibly eith- er could be postponed to make the funds available for the in- dustry. Council also decided to write the OMB and see if they could get approval for expenditures for the project. They also have funds available from the Muni- cipal Loan Fund which they Are Pleased To Announce They Are Now The Dealer For Anglican Bishop confirms three Last Wednesday the Bishop of Georgian Bay (The Rt Rev H. F. G. Appleyard) visited Exeter to confirm three candidates at Trivitt Memorial Church. This is the second Confirma- tion in the church this year, and is the first occasion the Bishop has paid two visits for .this purpose within the same year. Those confirmed were: John Harness, Garfield Johnston and Douglas Triebner, all of Exe- ter and Alexander Kilpatrick from St. Thomas Church, Gran- ton. The three Exeter men re- ceived First Communion last Sunday. NORDIC HUSQVARNA SEWING MACHINES Teacher retires after 23 years Khiva Section, No. 6 Stephen, turned out in larger numbers than usual June 26, to celebrate their annual picnic and to honor their teacher, Mrs. Ada McDon- ald who has taught in their school for 23 years and six months and who is retiring from teaching. A ball game and a line of sports were enjoyed, after which Mrs. Fanner showed in- teresting films. Gordon Ratz read the pre- sentation address and Vincent Ayotte and Shelley Weber pre- sented the gift of luggage to their teacher. Mrs. McDon- ald fittingly replied, thanking the parents for their wonderful co-operation which they had extended over her entire ser- vice there, assuring them she had many pleasant memories of her work in their neighbor- hood. With best wishes extended to her for a happy retirement the evening closed with lunch provided by the ladies of the section.

Folk beat heat, thieves beat them Cpl. C. J. Mitchell, head of the Exeter OPP detachment, this week advised bathers in the area of Port Blake not to leave valuables in their cars. He said his officers have had three reports of thefts of valu- ables in recent days. According to police, it is of little avail to lock cars, be- cause the thieves have gained entry by breaking windows. He advised bathers to leave their valuables at home or take them to the beach and not lock their cars. Egg vote — Continued from front page, cast in Exeter with 19 in fa- vor. Perth producers turned down the plan as they voted 80 against to 48 in favor. All other coun- ties approved the plan by slim majorities. The purpose of the plan is to establish a board to promote egg consumption and research into egg uses. Board operations would be paid for by deducting a maxi- mum of two cents for each bird marketed by producers. A levy could be collected more easily on birds than on eggs, it was decided. Agriculture Minister Stewart said such a board should mean egg producers will no longer need help from the provincial government, which presently gives $2,000 to the poultry pro- ducers association a year to help defray the cost of meetings. STEAL CART On Tuesday, the Exeter Cart Club at the Centralia Road was reported broken into and a go- cart stolen. It was valued at $300.
