Danny Brintnell, left, holds a portion of the solid fence which was snapped in two when the branch came tumbling down for no explained reason. There was no wind at the time. Others from the left looking at the limb are: Kathy McDonald, Carolynne Simmons and Gale Fuller. Some of the supervisors and children were sitting on the fence under the tree to the right. --T-A photo District girl enjoys trip to aid Mexican peasants One Honeywell Electric Filter & Thermostat Signal (to indicate when air filter needs changing or replacing) during RED HOT DAYS Lindenfields Ltd.

They received an estimate that it would cost $250 to have the clock repaired and only Councillor Derry Boyle was opposed to the expenditure, "It's well worth $250," corn!, mented Councillor Wooden, The man hired to fix the clock recently fixed a large clock at the New York World's Fair and came highly recom- mended. A letter was received from the OWRC that steps are being taken by them to form an agree- ment for the operation of the Marlboro Street pumping sta- tion, and requested council to present a survey of the area for definition purposes. The letter was signed by the same man who over a year and a half ago said such an agreement would be ready in three months. "They've been going to give us that agreement every three months for the past year and a half," quipped Clerk C. V.

Councillor Norm Ferguson was commended by council for his efforts in beautifying the park at the library and for placing new park benches inthe area. "They're getting lots of use," he said. * * * * Council authorized the pay- ment of another $1,000 on the grant to the Exeter Cemetery Board, after Councillor Ted Wright reported considerable Work had been done at the area. The pillars have been re- paired, new iron railing in- stalled at the gates, the pump- house has been rebuilt, a tractor purchased and the shed painted. New cupboards have also been installed in the house, and Wright said he didn't know any woman who would have put up with the old cupboards as long as the manager's wife had. Deputy-Reeve Ralph Bailey asked council what they wanted the street committee to do in regard to having Huron Street restored to the condition in which it was before Gaffney Construction installed the sew- ers. "In front of the hospital is a long way from being what it was before they started," stated works superintendent Jim Pais- ley, who has pictures to show its previous condition. Other councillors expressed the opinion that much of the street had to be fixed to match its original condition. It was decided to contact the OWRC, who control the pay- ments for the work. * * * * Councillor Joe Wooden was informed that the town hadpro- vided an access to the residents on Pryde Blvd., by way of the street behind the grandstand, while the work on the Sanders Street sewer was being com- pleted.

At one of these, in San An- tonio, Texas, Nora and five others lost their luggage and had to continue on the trip without it. She was forced to borrow clothes from companions. On the return through the Texas city, she found the lug- gage on a rack. A pretty graduate of HSDHS returned home recently from a six-week stay in a poverty- striken area of Mexico, and has already started planning to make a return visit to the area. Nora Hall, 21, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. John Hall, RR 3 Ailsa Craig, was one of 45 Ontario students who made the trip in connection with the Conference on Inter-American Student Pro- jects. A second-year student at Brescia College, UWO, Nora helped in the construction of a four-room concrete school, started work on a water pipe- line and taught illiterate Mexi- can peasants the basis of the three Rs in her sojourn. She was stationed in an In- dian district of Mexico — in and around the village of Pisaflores, 200 miles north of MexicoCity. They raised about $3,000 to cover their expenses and went by Greyhound bus from London, Our Studio Will be closed July 27 — 30 X2r. WORTHWHILE She termed the trip "very worthwhile" and undoubtedly was pleased at being able to help those less fortunate than herself. At Pisaflores, a valley com- munity of 1,500, the Canadians built the school 'and drew up plans for a waterworks to re- place the well systems. They showed the villagers how to build a reservoir in the mountains, and supplied plastic piping to bring the water down to the village. Villagers sup- plied the labor. Water was running through the pipe before the students left. The Canadians were divided into groups of three and sent to outlying villages. Nora and a Dublin girl, Jeanne Melady, accompanied a Toronto youth to San Pedro, about two miles away, where about 300 persons live in 80 single-room dwell- ings. The villagers were expecting them. "They threw flowers and con- fetti at us," said Miss Melady. "I just about died, I've never walked under confetti before. "But that's the way they are. If you saw a flower at the edge of the jungle and admired it, — MP& • MOMMOININ‘ —111\1•111110"..... they presented it to you," The girls, who had studied Spanish before they left Can- ada, taught the children and the women how to form letters, how to write the Spanish al- phabet and how to pronounce written words. The Toronto youth taught the men when they came in from the fields at night. About 60 adults took part in the classes. "When the time came for the group to leave, everybody cried," Miss Hall stated. The villagers walked with them for about a mile before turning back to their homes. The girls, both of whom are now on staff at the Colonial Hotel, Grand Bend, hope to go back next year. One of the interesting ex- periences listed by the area girl was the making of a cake for a birthday. One of the stu- dents had a cake mix and the natives were amazed at it. The students were also amazed, as it was cooked under a fire of burning embers, and Nora said it must have taken only about three minutes to bake. \\ Red Hot Days S-P-E-C-I-A-L-S Shipka folk go to town Mr. & Mrs. Wilfred Desjar- dine have moved to their new home in Exeter North.
