Architects start
Zurich drawings
Noting that action is being
taken in eegard to the exprep-
niation of needed lands for an.
addition to the Zurich school,
the architects on the job have
advised the school board they
plan to start on drawings.
,,we think it is probably safe
to proceed with working draw-
ings," the board was told by
Rlacle, Connor, Falls & Irvine,
a London firm.
However, they did add that
possibly the Hay Township
board should seek their law-
yer's advice on the matter and
notify the architects if they
wish them to proceed.
"Our concern is that if we
do not proceed we will be into
a bad time of yearfor construc-
tion of concrete and masonry,"
they concluded.

Carter related that Wallace
had died and was knocking for
admittance to the pearly gates
of Heaven and was met thereby
God, who smiled and rubbed his
bands with glee and stated in an
obvious negro accent: "Man,
we's ben waiting a long time

Perhaps the serious vein be-
hind the joke is one that all
who discriminate against those
of other races, colors and
creeds could seriously consi-
der.
The post-convention trip to
Niagara. Falls was unquestion-
ably the highlight of the weekend
as it was made under Saturday's
ideal weather conditions and the
falls and the miles of parkway
at the honeymoon centre were at
their best.
Niagara Falls is perhaps un-
equalled in the world as a mecca
for photographers and the per-
sons of vision who have trans-
formed the city into a place
which attracts 8,000,000 visi-
tors a year are tobe commend-
ed.
It may not be the cheapest
place in the world to enjoy an
outing, but it certainly has not
degenerated into a place of
cheap attractions that one finds
at many other spots.
While the trips under the
falls by foot and by the Maids
of the Mist, the trip to the top
of either of the 500' observation
towers and the many other at-
tractions are well worth the
price of admission, tourists can
still enjoy all the natural beauty
without opening their wallets.
We were fortunate in having
Charles Foster, a reporter for
the Niagara Falls Review, as an
unofficial guide for a few min-
utes, and he came up with some
very interesting information,
On the less pleasant side, he
reported that an average of 10
people commit suicide each
year by walking into the waters
above the falls and being swept
to their shattering deaths on the
rocks below.
He told of one incident where
a young negro told people on the
American side he was going to
run across the top in the shallow
waters, and they stood shocked
as he broke away and started
on his fateful trip. However, he
made it three-quarters of the
way across before the waters
swept him to his death.
Charlie said it could possibly
be achieved by a strong runner
if he started farther away from
the edge of the cascading wall.
However, he said he had no
intention of putting his opinion
into an attempt at the feat, and
we certainly never volunteered
either,

With eliminator purses upped
by 50 percent this week there
was a good show put on by 165
quarter-mile competitors be-
fore 3,200 spectators at the
Grand Bend Dragway Sunday.
Fastest time was set by Doug

of this bid from the federal
and provincial governments be-

It is anticipated that the con-
tractor will be on site within
10 days after the signing of the
contract.
The ARCA is tentatively plan-
ning its official sod turning
ceremony for the Parkhill Dam
for Thursday, September 17 at
3:00 p.m.
The cabinet ministers of the
government departments con-
cerned, local federal and pro-
vincial members and municipal,
ARCA and other officials will
be attending. Business Directory PERCENTAGES
Fortunately—or at least to
prevent more loss of time with
further appeals over costs—the
OMB ruling handed down on the
dam project backed the manner
of assessing costs.
ALVIN WALPER DR. J. W. CORBETT
The municipalities' costs are
based on a percentage basis of
the completed cost and so all
municipalities will have an in-
crease in their costs over what
had been figured out on the
basis of the original $894,000
estimate.
The two senior governments
will also pay more as they have
each signed to pay for 37 1/2%
of the actual construction costs.
Therefore, 75% of the tender
price will be covered by them.
One of the few "fortunate"
contributors will be the depart-
ment of highways. They agreed
to spend $248,000 to have the
highway diverted over the dam
and this apportionment may re-
main constant.
Contributing municipalities
in the watershed will therefore
pay 25% of the total cost of the
project, less the grant from the
department of highways.

This year the school must

"It (grant) is quite inade-
quate," he reported, and added
that all schools were in the
same position.
He said he planned to raise
the annual caution fee at the
school from $1 to $5 to cover
the costs of books which maybe
lost or destroyed.
GB court
—Continued from front page
James Kelly, Grand Bend and
Robert Hurt, London.
Evidence given in court show-
ed that Kelly and Hurt had been
at a party when Hurt had a
disagreement with one of the
guests. A fight ensued in which
Hurt was knocked unconscious.
When he regained his feet, he
and Kelly proceeded to a resort
hotel to confront the man with
whom Hurt had previously grap-
pled,
William Ramtheloo, p a r t-
time employee at the hotel,
asked Kelly and Hurt to leave
since it was after hours and
they were using loud, abusive
language. When Kelly and Hurt
didn't go, Rammeloo phoned
for the police.
Kelly and Hurt then entered
the hotel dining room where
Kelly hit Rammeloo in the face,
knocking him to the floor. When
Lu d wig Rammeloo saw his
brother fall, he hit Kelly. Hurt
picked up a bar table to protect
himself and struck a blow to the
head of William Rammeloo, still
on the floor. Six stitches were
required to close the gash.
Hurt stated he was badly
injured from the first fight and
did not wish to become involved
in another. He said he was not
wearing his glasses' and was
unable to see what was going
on during the ruckus. He added
he was only defending himself
and had no intention to hurt
anyone.
Kelly stated that Ludwig
Rammeloo had hit him without
any valid reason and said that
Rammeloo had grabbed him
first. He denied having struck
William Rammeloo,
Magistrate P e arson gave
Hurt the benefit of the doubt
as to the intent and the charge
against him was dismissed.
"Not one iota" of doubt was
in the mind of Magistrate pear-
son when he ordered Kelly to
pay $100 and costs of $19.40,
"Because of the drinking and
the time elapsed, I will allow
that you have forgotten what
really happened," the Magis-
trate told Kelly. "AS a bar-
tender, you are conscious of
what happens to people who
drink."
The charge against Ludwig
Rammeloo was also withdrawn.
