CHARGE DRIVER The driver of, a car not direct- ly involved in an accident has been charged with improper `passing following the collision of two cars on Highway 81 on August 5. Irvine Finkbeiner, RR 2 Ct'ee diton, was travelling east and William Samuel Swan, Kincar- dine was proceeding west on the stretch near Grand Bend. The third driver pulled out to pass Finkbeiner and when the latter saw that Swan was close, applied his brakes to allow the passing car to get back into the right lane. Finkbeiner slid into the west lane as he applied his brakes and was struck by the Swan vehicle. Total damage was $500 to the Finkbeiner and Swan cars. Driver of the third car was the one charged. The final accident was on August 2 when Steve Nodilo, Waterloo, lost control of his vehicle during a heavy rain west of Exeter on Highway 83 and slammed into a fence in the south ditch. Damage to the car was $200. The crash was investigated by Constable Reid. PERSONALS Visitors with Mrs. Violet Schwalm and Ray are Sgt, Carl Schwalm, Mrs. Schwalm, Ricky Damages ran over $3,000 in accidents reported to the Exeter OPT, detachment in the past two. Weel.t.S and included in their investigations were no less than three hit-and-run incidents. The hit-and,run barrage started over Civic Holiday weekend when Eugene Beaver„ Exeter, roported to police he had been:struck by an unknewn driver on Highway 61 on August 2. Travelling north on Highway 81 near the Grand Bend Drag- way, Beaver told Constahle Harry Reid that a green car pulled out to pass and when it attempted to pull back in front after passing, it struck his left rear side. While damage amounted to only $75, the Beaver car was spun completely around in the road and was facing south when he managed to get it stopped. The other driver proceeded without stopping at all. The incident happened at 12;30 a.m. On August 7, a car driven by Thomas Dougall Sr.,.RR 1 Hen- salt, sustained damages estim- ated at $200 when struck by an unknown car on Highway 4. Dougall was travelling south when a car collided with the rear of his car as it attempted to pass. He managed to retain control of the vehicle and got it stopped, The other vehicle was re- ported to have stopped some 100 yards farther up the road and then started off again. OPP Constable Bill Glass- ford investigated the incident at 11:12 p.m. by an unknown car when he attempted to make a left turn off Highway 83. Damage amounted to$100 and it was indicated the driver of the other car surveyed the dam- age to his vehicle and then drove Off. A man was later picked up and charged with leaving the scene of an accident, but his name is being withheld by pe- liee. Investigations by police indi- cate that drivers are having more than a normal problem in two different sections of the area near Grand Bend. Rear-end collisions near the Grand Bend Dragway resulted in damage to five cars and the other bad spot is near the inter- section of Highways 83 and 21. Constable Reid investigated two rear-end collisions near Grand Bend on Highway 81 foil- the Highway 83 and 81 inter.- .Section. Constable Reid was told the driver was travelling north and had pulled out to pass a line of traffic when one of the ears in the line suddenly stopped. Daniells applied his brakes 411d swerved to the right and lost control in soft gravel and eventually ended up against a tree in the ditch. On August 8, cars driven by William A. Holman, Strat- ford, and Daniel M. Spence, Toronto, were involved near Turnbull's Grove on Highway 21 when one of the cars made a right turn and was hit by the other. Constable George Beams es- timated damage at $275. Farther north on the highway near St. Joseph, Constable John Wright investigated a crash on owing the grand opening of the neW drag strip, Sunday, At '6;66 p.m., he was called to the scene Of a three-car crash where damages amounted to $450. cars driven by Brian K, Bar- endregt, RR 1 Union; James H, lionsberger, RR 1 Vineland and James W. Moir, Lambeth, were the drivers involved and no. charges have been laid, Shortly after, two cars driven by Michael Russell, RR 2 Dub- lin, and. Richard Roman, Lon- don, were involved in a mishap that caused total damageS of $700. No charges were laid in this incident either. On August 2, a sports car driven by Paul A. Daniells, Kitchener, sustained damages of $400 and the driver suffered head lacerations when his ve- hicle left the road just north of Shelve hydro changes when farmers object Plans for considerable work on hydro lines along the second concession of Usborne Town- ship and also In the Chiselhurst area have been shelved for the time and the program will have to be replanned. K. J. Lampman, manager of the area Ontario Hydro office reported this week no work has been done to date, and when it is replanned, he estimated it would necessitate a greater cost than previously hoped. This is due primarily to the fact hydro services could not be interrupted as long as orig- inally planned as four large chicken producers feared the interruptions could play havoc with their flocks. The four have modern barns without natural ventilation and rely on electric equipment to cool their birds. The general fears were ex- pressed by Bev Morgan, RR 1 Hensall, who reported a two- hour interruption on a hot day the step-down station at Sea- forth supplies this area. The new station is being built due to increased hydro con- sumption. Mr. Lampman reported that consumption in the Exeter area increases from 8% to 10% each year. could mean "plain disaster" for his 22,000 chickens. Farmers had received not- ices that services in their area may be off for periods of up to two and a half hours on any of the days the hydro crews planned to do the work. Mr. Lampman explained that only between 25 and 30 farms would be affected at any one time during the work period, when hydro crews would be putting in a third phase on the concession line and heavie r services near Chiselhurst. Mr. Lampman gave no indi- cation when the work may be replanned. WORK PROGRESSES He also reported that the new step-down transformer station being built on Highway 4 near Centralia would probably be completed some time this fall. The station will conver t 115,000 volt to 27,000 volt and is being built to service the surrounding area. At present, Swim pool opening is delayed further Mrs. Mike Heenan of Ottawa visited with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Trcebner, over the weekend. Mr. & Mrs. William Seebach, Miss Edna Willert of Mitchell were weekend visitors with Mr. & Mrs. Frank Triebner. Miss Dorothy Bishop Popple- sten of Kitchener spent the past week visiting relatives in this area. Mrs. Percy Tyerman attend- ed the wedding of her nephew, Glen Martin of Toronto in the Presbyterian Church, Ripley, last Saturday. Mr. & Mrs. Whitney Coates and Wilma were guests for din- ner on Sunday evening with Mr. & Mrs. Keith Coates of Exeter. CHARGE DRIVER Glassford also investigated another hit-and-run in Dash- wood on August 8 when Wayne Charles Keller, 16, RR 3 Zurich, reported he was struck Mrs. David Millar and Mrs. Milton Sleamon attended the graduation of their niece Miss Marnie Turnbull as a nurse from the Nightingale School of Nursing, Toronto on Wednes- day evening. They also spent a few days with their brother, Mr. Wilfred Turnbull, Mrs. Turnbull and family of Lea- side. Mr. & Mrs. Whitney Coates had as holiday weekend visitors and the following week, Mr. & Mrs. R. H, Doherty and family of Mt. Clemens, Mich., Miss Wilma Coates of London, Mr. Wally Smelanski of Kitchener, Mr. & Mrs. Glen Stewart and family, Mr. Roy Coward of Usborne, Mr. & Mrs. John Slaght of Langton and Mr. Geo. Hood of Toronto. Reason for the thought of having swimming even before the facility was completely fin- ished was due to the fact the river has been unsuitable for swimming for some time due to its muddy condition, and the swim instructors have raised concern that area youngsters will not do well in upcoming tests unless they soon have some swimming area available. The date when area residents may get to use Exeter's new swim pool has again been pushed back and it is apparent that the new facilities will see little activity this season. Mel Gaiser, co-chairman of the committee, reported this week the first swimming would not be conducted in the pool until at least August 18 or 20. C. A. McDowell Ltd., con- tractors, have been hampered in their progress by wet weath- er of late and other holdups ranging from an auto accident that injured a welder who was on the job. The swim pool committee, who at first hoped to have swim- ming started early in the sum- mer, were forced to cancel plans for an official opening this week and it will either be held later in the summer or perhaps even held over until next year. Arena manager Alvin Willert, who will supervise the opera- tion, told RAP Monday that water may be put in the pool to have the plumbing tested this week. However, members of RAP passed a motion warning the contractor to be cautious due to the hazards of filling the pool before the retaining fence has been erected. Some discussion was held as to who would be responsible, and it was the opinion that the contractor would bear all res- ponsibility. When swimming was suggest- ed, Mayor Simmons said he would hesitate to use the pool at all until the contractor has completely finished.

Liberals approve convention names Gets bingo card --and then fills it "He who hesitates is lost" may be a valid axiom, but it apparently doesn't hold true for bingo players. 'Iry Armstrong, chairman of the swim pool committee's newspaper bingo, reports that the winner of the third such event was Mrs. J, McDonald, 111 Columbia Drive, Huron P ark. Mrs. McDonald didn't buy her card on the bingo until Friday, July 30—a day after the final numbers had been printed in The T-A. When she filled in her com- plete card on the 60th number, Mrs. McDonald contacted Arm- strong and was declared the winner. Coming close to the winning combination were Bev Linden- field, Exeter, and Kennet h Glavin, Crediton, who filled their cards with the 61st number printed. Mrs. John Moser, RR 8 Park- hill, also came close to copping the $100 prize as she filled her card with 0-72, the 62nd number listed.

Reeve Glenn Fisher reported that one builder had already suggested that a new roof was definitely needed, or at the least an expensive repair job to re- nail the roof and cover up all existing nail holes which have in receipts in the splits. MacMillan pointed out this was unfair to minor teams who paid their way with regular ice rental charges. Some discussion was held on the present situation with the area men who are stabling horses at the barns at the cen- tre.

F ollo wing this discussion, Willert reported there were several holes in the flat roof over the gymnasium and he was given authority to seek esti- mates on tarring this section. At the meeting, Willert an- nounced that he had success- fully passed his three-year arena managers course. The course covered various phases of refrigeration, communica- tion and bookkeeping. He was heartily congratulated by RAP members. He also explained that during the course he found he was one of the few arena managers who had to personally pay for the renewing of his certificate with the department of labor.
