F, cook, Strat- ford, who presided in the ab- sence of Magistrate Glepntlays in Exeter ,court, Tuesday, The first charge tried against the district man was one of careless driving and it resulted from an incident on Highway 4 on June 15. Evidence revealed Lightfoot. was driving in an erratic man- ner along the highway and pers. ed a large truck twice, and immediately after passieg, slowed down considerably in front of the truck. Each time, the truck driver was forced to take evasive ac- , tion by pulling around the ye- hide, Following the truck and Lightfoot was an OPP traffic officer in an unmarked black cruiser and he radioed the OPP detachment at Exeter to come to the scene. By the time Constable Harry Reid arrived, the other officer had stopped Lightfoot and he was turned over to the Exeter officer, who reported Lightfoot had been drinking. "Perhaps one less drink and it wouldn't have h ap pen ed," stated Magistrate Cook in hand- ing down a fine of $20 and costs of $2.50, The Centralia man also pleaded guilty to illegal posses- sion of alcohol arising from the same incident. Investigating of- ficers found 12 bottles of beer in his car and several empty ones, He paid $25 and costs of $2.50 on the charge. The accused claimed he did not drink on the highway. He was defended in court by God- erect). lawyer, Jim Donnelly. The incident happened at about 4:30 p.m. aneXeMealiEtateee.:Se City TB scare aids attendance The recent outbreak of tuber- culosis in a London school, and the publicity it received, was cited as Dr. R. M. Aldis, head of the Huron County Health Unit, as one of the reasons why more people have turned out to the mass survey being conduct- ed in the county this month. Four years ago, only 25,000 people turned out in the county, but Dr. Aldis said it appeared as though there would be many more this time. He also attributed the better organization of volunteers in the county and their work in completely canvassing the i r areas, as another reason for the better attendances, "You mean to discuss if we need one?" questioned Bayn- ham. "If we need one and what we are going to do," replied Mac- Millan. Reeve Fisher then questioned Baynham if they should adver- tise for a qualified director, and was told they would have to under the present conditions. The discussion ended at this point and MacMillan called for a seconder for Baynham's mo- tion. There was none. New industry ready to build STEPHEN BAYNHAM "I'm dispsted. liere I went and put on a white shirt and tie to come to the Bible school program andI end up in here getting a jab from that darn thing."

I sure fooled these people, I came in looking a bit frightened, but actually all I wanted was to have a couple of those cute looking nurses hold my hand. Heck, there's nothing to this." (Roddy is the son of F/L and Mrs. Don Ward). SAYS PREMATURE MacMillan then said he felt the suggestion was premature. "I'm strictly puttingforthmy idea," Baynham retorted. —Please turn to back page Ross Tuckey, chairman of the Exeter Industrial De- velopment Corporation, said he hopes details will be finalized within the week for the industry which has accepted the offer to borrow funds from the Corporation for building purposes in Exeter. "The deal is almost completed," he told The T-A Wednes- day, and we have only a few "tag ends" to clean up. Negotiations with the prosepctive industry have kept di- rectors of the Corporation busy for the past three weeks, as the acceptance of their offer to provide funds for building purposes came before they had even had an opportunity to attempt to sell shares to local residents. However, the citizens responded., and with definite commit- ments for most of the money needed, negotiations have been carried on with the owner of the proposed site, the Exeter PUC, the Ontario Municipal Board and others. The directors have also found it necessary to revise their constitution in order to accept public funds for the venture. Tuckey said the directors would probably be calling on persons who promised to purchase shares within the next few days, indicating the new industry's management were ready to turn sod as soon as money and final arrangements were made. "They're ready to go," stated Tuckey. JANICE HEYWOOD . "Come on daddy, let's go home, this isn't going to be any fun. I know you are watching her closely, but I'm afraid she's still going to hurt me. And look at brother, Tod. He doesn't want it either." (The child- ren's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ron Heywood). Tuckersmith rates up two SIMILAR CASE A Stratford man paid fines of $75 and costs of $5 when he pleaded guilty to similar char- ges. Daniel Austin Hunter, 3 Wil- low Place, Stratford, was char- ged with careless driving in Stephen Township on June 6 when he forced another car off the road, causing damages es- timated at $600. The accused gave no reason for his car wandering over onto the left side of the road. Magis- trate Cook stated it was due to lack of attention in his driving. Fine was $50. Hunter also pleaded guilty to illegal possession of alcohol and was fined $25. Both charges French lady visits 'area flyer's grave . MICHAEL FOREMAN "This is going to be fun.

Rate jumps in Usborne, up three due to schools The French lady said she thought the mother of the dead soldier would like to know of the condition of the cemetery and said she would send aphoto of it and the tombstone if she had contacted the right parties. Mrs. Brock immediately re- turned an airmail letter to thank the French lady for her thought- fulness and to let her know that she was the mother of F/L Motz. —Please turn to back page Confidence men back in district OPP at Exeter have advised area residents that a group of house repair confidence men have been reported in the area recently with a deal on alumi- nium siding. They say an elderly flay Township man was approached with a proposal to have his house done over, and the men wanted to give him money to let them do it, The pitch was that they wanted to have a house for advertising purposes. Fortunately the man took no part in the racket and notified police. It is not known what type of gimmick the men were using, but in most cases customers sign contracts which they find out later have committed them to paying exorbitant prices for the work to be done. All residents—especially elderly people—have been warned not to deal with these men and incidents similar to the one mentioned, should be reported to the police. Exeter's RAP committee de- cided Monday night not to seek a replacement for Rec Director Don "Boom Boom" Gravett who has resigned and assumes sim- ilar duties in Hanover on Sep- tember 1. Gord Baynham was the only one who apparently thought a qualified rec director was need- ed for the community. Although it was p u blicly known for some time, Gravett's resignation was read officially to members of the committee and it met without any comment whatever, except that Mayor Eldrid Simmons noted there should be a motion placed on the books accepting the resig- nation. The motion did not even con- tain the usual "with regret" that most motions accepting resignations contain. The letter from town council advising RAP they were being given another $500 to deal with the rec director's requests as they saw fit, and not strictly from a monetary aspect, was also read. It received no comment either. Later in the meeting, Bayn- ham said he felt the committee better advertise for another rec director, "seeing we don'thave one". "That's a thought," replied chairman Tom MacMillan. Baynham then m o v e d that RAP advertise for a rec direc- tor. "That's what Boyle told you we had to do," said MayorSim- mons to Reeve Glenn Fisher. The aside was apparently a reference to a discussion fol- lowing last week's co unc meeting when Councillor Derry Boyle told the two men he felt RAP was obligated to advertise for a rec director. MacMillan then suggested the motion should be tabled until such time as there was a full committee present. Lloyd Cushman was absent from the Monday meeting. Usborne Township c ounc managed to "hold the line" on their own mill rate this year, but' residents will still notice a three-mill increase due to the hike in the high school and pub- lic school levy. The township budget calls for an expenditure of $214,000 this year and the total levy will be 51 mills for residential and farm and 53 mills for commer- cial and business assessment. The township rate of 12 mills and the county rate of 14 mills remain the same from last year, while the high school levy has increased from 12 to 13 mills and the public school rate has jumped two, from 10 to 12. At the meeting, which lasted for close to seven hours, coun- cil also approved a motion ask- ing the department of highways for a supplementary road sub- sidy in the amount of $20,000 Arrange meeting to plan centennial project work Third T-A bingo starts this week Mervyn Grainger, Andrew Street, has been declared the winner of the $100 prize in the second newspaper bingo spon- sored by the swimming pool committee. He clicked on the 60th num- ber published which was B-16. The first bingo was won on the 61st number published. Mrs. Orville Smith, Hensel].) and Mrs. Golda Tyler, Dash- wood, phoned in to report they had filled their cards with the 61st number, while Mrs. Wes Vernier, Hensall, had hers filled on the 62nd, However, all three were beat- en by Mr. Grainger.

Council agreed that it will co- operate with the Blanshard Municipal Telephone System in setting up an emergency call- ing system for fire calls. to complete the Westlake bridge. There is an 80% grant on bridge construction and council has let the contract to McLean- Foster Construction, St. Marys, for a price of $21,556.85. The supplementary subsidy would be on top of the $55,000 already approved for the town- ship this year, Council received complaints from Joe Kernick regarding his lane bridge and this was re- ferred to the drainage engineer. The complaint of G. Cornish will be referred to the County road engineer by Reeve Archie Eth- erington. Parkhill man killed in plunge from roof with a park project, it may be necessary to have some of the trees and shrubs planted a year or two ahead of time to have it completed in time to receive approval. Following his appeal to get started, council turned the mat— ter Over to RAP. And at their meeting, Monday, RAP decided all interested groups should have an oppor- tunity to share in the project. The plans to be followed will probably conic from a design which an engineer from the Londoe. PUG drew up for the Exeter KinSmen some time ago. It has been indicated this club will assist with the project. work will be undertaken. This is the reason for the meeting, and it is hoped some of the invited groups will assist in the project. Concern over the delay in deciding what was to be done exactly was raised by Clerk C. V. Pickard at last week's council meeting. Although dead- line for applying for the cen- tennial grant has been extended to November 9 of this year) he told council they would only receive approval on a project that would be completed inCan- ada's centennial year —1967. He went on to point out that Exeter's three service clubs and the Horticultural Society will be asked to send represen- tatives to meet with the RAP committee to discuss plans for Exeter's centennial project— fixing the river flats at River- view Park, The meeting has been sche- duled for July 27. Although the decision to pro- ceed with improvements at the Park was made some time ago, and it has also been known for some time how much money will be available from the thre e government sources, it has never been decided just what The thoughtful act of a French woman has resulted in much appreciation by an area lady who lost one of her sons during the Second World War. Mrs. Wellington Brock, RR 1 Granton, the former Mrs. Ro- land Motz, received word from Mademoiselle Collet te Bien- venu, of Laval, France, that the latter has found the grave of R. Bartle 1V1otz in the British Cemetery at Escoublac-la- Baule, eight miles north-west of St. Nazaire, France. The French lady was touring France when she came upon a "petite" cemetery and she found it so beautiful she stopped and went in. she reported the cemetery was a profusion of red roses and flowers of all colors, and it was remarkable the way it had been maintained. While walking through the cemetery she came across the grave of F/L Motz, and took special notice of it due to the fact he had been killed on the date of her birthday—August 30. Mademoiselle Bienvenu Went to the registry office and was informed of the young man's parents' address and she sent a letter by airmail on July 3, which was received by Mrs. Brock on July 8. Although written in French, Mrs. Brook's son, Ron Mots, a grade 13 student at HSDHS, was able to translate it for his Mother. Tuckersmith Township coun- cil last week established a tax rate of 11 mills for general purpose at their July meeting. The rate is up two mills from last year. The rate of 11 mills is for residential and farms. The commercial rate is 13,5 mills. The increase in the rate re- sults from a deficit of $6,000 on last year's business. This arose from costs involved in the fire hall construction at Bruce-. field which had not been bud- geted and for some additional road work, In considering the advisabil- ity of making application for a supplimentary road grant, council was concerned that the tax rate be held at 11 mills. While it was agreed that sit- uations could arise that would necessitate additional expendi- tures beyond that for which approval has been received, such expenditures should only be made as an emergency. As a protection, however, it was agreed to apply for a suppli- mentary grant of $3,000. Road expenditures planned this year amount to $54,000, of which approximately $41,000 has been spent or committed. Work on township municipal drains, which is pending, occu- pied a large portion of the meeting time. Included in the drain program is the repair and improvement of the Broadfoot drain. The drain discharges into the Hayfield River, and with its tributaries drains a large part of the southeastern part of the township. A petition initiating work on the drain was received from E mmer son Coleman, Carl Richardson and Gerald Velinga.
