South End Service Hay Township school area board has accepted t. enders from two persons to provide transportation for children this year, and the disposition of a third tender is awaiting for,. ther action., William Watson, with .4 :Wet $0,50, won the contract to transport pupils from sections $s9,1() and 11 and the pupils Of 13 who reside onliighwey 83. The tender for transporting students to z4r10 from section 1 a and 4, those .from St. Joseph, as well as etwieete from OSS9 Stanley living on the Bronson line north, was avierded to Mil, ten McAdams at a price of $4,000. Carl Oeetreicner, Ross Turnbull and Elmer Rowe were appointed as a .committee to interview Harold Hendrick with regard to providing traespore tetion under the third tender,. The committee was given au- thority to make any other are rangements necessary for the transportation of the pupils as the tender advertisement called for. The school board also author,- ized that a letter be written to all parents announcing the changes being made for the September opening of the schools. HIKE SALARY At the request of Lawrence Wein, music supervisor, he will teach music at the Zurich school for a total of four hours per week this year, rather than the three he taught previously. It was found three hours was not sufficient time. The supervisor's salary will be increased by $200, bringing the total to $1,570 for the term. —continued from front page loans at December 31,1963 was $25,612.30. Harper recommended thatthe debentures be forwarded im- mediately to the Province of Ontario and in the future the money not be loa.ned to the far- mer until it has been received from the Province of Ontario. REDUCE TAXES Due to the fact Hay has de- ferred revenue amounting to $3,565.42, Harper suggested it should be used to reduce the tax levies for school and county purposes in 1964. Such a scheme has been fol- lowed by Stephen Township for the past two years, where the rate was reduced and the money needed to make up the difference was taken from the deferred re- venue. Deferred revenue gen- erally occurs in most muni- cipalities due to the fact the assessment increases each year. Harper also found fault with the present manner being em- ployed in connection with the Ontario Municipal Employee's Retirement System. He said if the township and its employees are going to par- ticipate, deductions and remit- tances should be made in ac- cordance with the regulations pertaining thereto. It was explained that deduc- tions should be made each month and should be remitted with the township's share before the last day of the month, following the deduction. At present no re- mittances have been made, al- though an amount equal to the township's and employee's share for 1963 has been set aside in separate bank accounts of the township andschool area. "Interest at 6% per annum will be charged by the Ontario Municipal Employee's Retire- ment System on late remit- tances," the auditor's report explained. The report went on to point out that the 1963 Warble Fly Light court docket only four appear With one charge withdrawn and another dismissed, there were only four cases presented in Exeter court before Magis- trate Glenn Hays, QC, Tuesday. Robert Watson, Exeter, pleaded guilty to a charge of following another vehicle too closely and was fined $10 and costs of $21.90. The driver had been charged by Cpl. C. J. Mitchell after he investigated an accident involv- ing several cars on Highway 83 near Zurich on June 20. Watson was defended by El- mer D. Bell, QC, who pointed out that the other cars in the chain reaction accident were in fault as much as the accused and contributed as well to the extensive damage caused. Damage in the crash was es- timated at $1,000. A Stephen Township youth, with an apparent yen to be a dragstrip competitor, learned the highway was not the place to practice. Wayne O'Brien, 19, Stephen Township was fined $30 and costs of $1.50 for creating an unnecessary noise on August 2. He was charged by OPP Con- stable Bill Glassford. The officer reported he stop- ped the youth in Mt. Carmel and found the car's muffler system equipped with a cut-out. O'Brien explained the cut-off had been put on the muffler as he planned to enter the races. A Toronto man, Melville Reed, was fined $15 and costs after pleading guilty to a charge of failing to yield the right of way at the intersection of High- ways 83 and 4 in Exeter. On July 11, Reed was travel- ling east on Highway 83 and collided with a southbound car on Highway 4, resulting in dam- ages estimated by Chief C. H. MacKenzie at $900. The accused claimed he stop- ped at the corner but failed to see the approaching car. The final case was a charge of speeding against Lawrence Marquardt, Sorrel. He was fined $15 for travelling at 75 m.p.h, in a 60 zone by Constable Glass- ford. how4NneW 44.•~0.0 WEISER DOOR LOCKS 1" x 2" STRAPPING Interior Passage Set, No, 100 REGULAR $3.56 A— NOW $2.66 Exterior Keyed Set, No. 500 REGULAR $8.93 — NOW $6.99 FOR WALLS OR CEILING 1 1//c per lin. ft.

Up in Hensall, Fred Broad- ley., sales manager of the east-r ern division, reports General Coach has recently received an oreer for 5e of their "Brock'" ,Brock 00 economy model mobile homes. The trailers are all 50' by 10' and, are Wing delivered now at the rate of about two per day to a nickel mine at Gordon Lake, Ontario. This mine is situated near the Manitoba bor- der, General Coach has filled small orders for the area in past years, and then at the be- ginning of this year received an order for 10 of their econ- omy models, The mobile homes were found quite satisfactory during a test- ing period and hence the order for 52 more, The homes are being used as residences for miners. He said the Hensall produc- tion line was being kept ex- tremely busy these days as business was "excellent". I3roadley said the firm was glad to get the order as the rough terrain into which they had to be transported was areal testing ground for the sturdi- ness of the trailers, The Hensell councillor said the mobile homes have been making the trip safely without incident. The sales manager said Gen- eral Coach would probably not replace the eight skilled men and the bookkeeper who re- signed last week to take up positions with Exeter's newest industry, Custom Trailers Ltd. He said General Coach had been slightly over-staffed, and while they were sorry to see the experienced men go, it had not hampered production to any great extent. BY ROSS WEIN (Ross, a student at OAC and a resident of Crediton, is work- ing with the natives in Kenya as a member of the Crossroads Africa plan.) After travelling about 2,000 miles to various parts of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika I can say that there is nature here that can rival that in the United States or Canada. I think the most beautiful area es Mombasa and the In d i an Ocean. Picture if you will the wind swaying the coconut palms over a crystal white sand beach. In the distance the surf is pounding on the coral reef where scarlet starfish andhandreds of other types of shells and coral are exposed when the tide goes out. Sounds great, does it not? We stayed here for a long weekend, swimming in the 70 degree ocean and collecting shells on the reef at low tide. During the trip to the coast we passed through prairie lands where the Tsavo Game Park has been set aside. Here we saw elephants plodding across the road and giraffe watching us from a distance. Parts of this park are of a rocky nature where lions, snakes and other cats live. There are many other parks which hold a very definite part in the economy of Kenya but I hope to discuss this at another DR. J. W. CORBETT L.D.S., D.D.S.

Saturday afternoon at 4:45, cars driven by Robert Scott, 27, 63 Waterloo Street, Exeter, and Kenneth Beattie, 21, of RR 3 Ansa Craig, were involved in a crash on Main Street, just north of the police station. Both cars had been travelling north according to Chief C. H. MacKenzie, when the Beattie vehicle slammed into the rear of the car driven by Scott. The latter vehicle, which was owned by McIntyre & Scott, sus- tained damages estimated at $80, while the Beattie vehicle was damaged in amount esti- mated at $150. Another two-car crash oc- curred on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. when a car travelling north was hit by another vehicle backing out of a laneway at 114 Main Street. The cars were owned by Ed- ward Stanley Vincent, 145 Brit- tania Street, G o de ri c h, and Joseph C. Ferguson, 66, Hen- sall. Constable Harry VanBergen reported that Ferguson backed out of the lane and hit the rear fender of Vincent's car. BELL & LAUGHTON BARRISTERS, SOLICITORS & NOTARIES PUBLIC ELMER D. BELL, Q.C., B.A. C. V. LAUGHTON, Q.C., LLB. Zurich Office Tuesday Afternoons Grand Bend Saturday Mornings by Appointment PHONE 519-235.0440 EXETER subsidy had not been applied for as yet on July 22, 1964. He said it should have been ap- plied for back in 1963 and he estimated the amount of the subsidy at $150.57 and set it up as due from the Province of Ontario. Some other notes were that he had not examined a fidelity bond for the secretary-treasur- er of C.R.C.S.S. No. 1 Hay and No. 1 Stanley, so it was pre- sumed that he was not bonded. Harper pointed out that the Schools Administration Act re- quires that a bond be carried. Crops survive —Continued from front page He indicated farmers would need better fall weather than normal due to the fact the late crop will be at the risk of frosts. Howard Scene, of W. G. Thompson & Sons, agreed with Cook that the crop had not been hurt too badly as yet in most sections, although there would not be the bumper crop as pre- viously anticipated. Scane predicted the Hensall mills would handle about the same number of bushels as in previous years due to the fact an increase in overall acreage would make up for the reduced crop in some sections. However, both noted that the weather will have to be more co-operative than it has for most of the month, Murray Shepherd, summer assistant at the Clinton agri- cultural office, said this week there was still a considerable amount of grain in the fields and conditions were making it hard for farmers to get it har- vested. "Quality of the grain still to be harvested is somewhat re- duced from what it would have been, but it will still make fairly good feed if we get favorable weather from now on", he stat- ed. Another point was that the cemetery investments of regis- tered principal $200 and bearer coupons were examined in the clerk-treasurer's office on July 22 and it was noted that some 1963 coupons still had not been deposited to the cemetery bank account. Harper suggested as well that Hay council follow the require- ments of the Municipal Act by preparing a budget each year. No budget had been prepared for 1963. The final point of the report recommended that since the account of $5,721.00 due to the township from the Community Centres Board appears to be uncollectible, a motion be pass- ed by council stating that the account be written off. Harper noted that such a re- commendation had been made in prior years. HADN'T HEARD When asked by The Times- Advocate on Monday if council planned to take up any of the suggestions made by the audi- tor, Reeve John Corbett report- ed he had not read the report and knew of none of the "qualifica- tions" or suggestions listed by Harper. The reeve said he had not read the large advertisement con- taining the report which was printed in last week's Zurich Citizens News, nor had he seen the report itself. Seriously injured C. H.

Another weekend we travelled to Uganda to Lake Victoria and Kampala, the city of seven hills. At the lakeside we saw fisher- men weaving their own nets out of sisal fibre and then sailing out in their small boats to catch a bass-like type of fish called tilapia. We were all thinking of swim- ming when we saw the lake but were warned that, like so many of African lakes, schistorniasis could be very harmful. Appar- ently the fish caught from the lake are perfectly safe for con- sumption once they have been cooked. A few of the group toured the "Victoria" which is a large ferry that travels around the lake. This ship was built in Britain, dismantled, crated up, shipped to the lake via ship and r ail and then reassembled. There are hopes of bringing another ship to carry the extra goods that progress has pro- vided. Returning from here we visi- ted Thompson's Falls where a river plunges 243' into one un- tamed glen of banana-like trees, bright flowers and trailing vines. This is really natural beauty without the commercial- ism that often mars our Cana- dian and US beauty. Finally, the beauty of the volcanic mountains and craters in East Africa are something I will always remember. About one half of our group climbed the 3,000' to the top of Mt. Longenot near Lake Naivasha. The mountain has two craters, the largest being a mile wide and a quarter of a mile deep. The floor of the crater was densely covered with trees and the African who took us up said few people had tried to go into this circular abyss. I have left East Africa's greatest pride until last. This is the beauty of the snow capped mountains of Kenya and Kili- manjaro. This time of the year both peaks are above the clouds but as we passed over the Kenya-Tanganyika border we could see the snow covered, dome-shaped peak of Kiliman- jaro towering 19,340 feet above sea level. The only reason that we didn't climb this one was that it is a five day jaunt. Mount Kenya, 17,058 feet, is Kenya's tallest snow capped mountain and several of us hope to see it before coming home. I have not had time to mention the cities with their Indian spice and silk shops and the rural markets with the brightly color- ed food and wares. One finds the unspoiled beauty of nature very appealing. I wish I had time to take a second look at everything I have seen this summer. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111e Conklin's Weekly Specials!
