Councillor Ferguson made the announcement of the clock having stopped again, and was questioned by Clerk C. V. Pick, and as to whether the repair man was actually finished in that no bill had been received, It was indicated the work had been done, and a clue to the stoppage was given by Paisley, who explained that the town bell should not be rung at the same time the clock is striking the hour. He indicated this may have been done and caused the clock to quit working. Although there was no fore mal discussion around the cope- oil table, comments Irani pee yerel members of town council would indicate erowte of the community 14 declining this year. The situation was brought up two or three times during (Ilse cession on, other matters. A letter was received from a firm doing a roads needs study for Huron County noting the projected population for Exeter in 1975 was 3,800. Joe Wooden, a member of the Exeter Planning Board, noted this was slightly lower than what his group had estimated. On questioning, Clerk C. V. Pickard pe gged the present popelatfon at about 3,300, but predicted that this year's figure would be down from that. "Wily?" qeestioned Del- bridge, "Are there a lot of people moving out?" Boyle replied that there were a number moving and noted there were a great number of homes for rent or for sale in town. Delbridge agreed, but point- ed to the number of new homes that had been built. Boyle then said he thought the population may drop as low as 3,100. The question of the growth of the town was brought up again when the building permits were presented for approval. Mayor Simmons noted that building in Canada was up 21% this year, but said Exeter would be far below that figure. The building permits included application for only one new home and the demolition of two present structure s, which prompted Wooden to state that New school -Continued from front page by Principal Arnold Mathers and his seven teachers.

Councillor Ian Coles termed the closing of the rink as "(W- eed ridieuleus" at Monday's council sessions, Reeve Stewart Webb said he had tried to keep the rink open but was told by police that the order to close the popular spot had come from OPP district headquarters in Lenden. Two dances scheduled for Sunday evening were also or- dered closed under the Lord's Day Act. Midnight dances were held. Staff Sgt. Keith Collins, of the London OPP, who headed the enlarged brigade, said he was pleased with the way in which the officers conducted them- selves, Sunday. Crowds, he said, taunted po- lice several times, but police kept the situation in hand ((with a little patience and a little tolerance".

Still others backed the po- lice move and noted that some- one had to make a decision in view of the situation. Another opinion expressed is that if the concessions had closed when they were asked to bythe police and by the reeve, then the crowd would have dispersed, and there would have been no need for the Riot Act later. Most of the 43 OPP officers remained in the resort through- out Sunday, and it was filled to capacity Sunday night. Many of those on the streets were described as people who had just come to satisfy their curiosity and to see what might happen that night, Youths jested about starting a riot and some talked in snide ways about the police. But there were no serious altercations, although one cruiser was pelted with eggs. -Continued from front page However, council learned they had "saved" some money on the project by setting aside their $6,000 in a trust fund.

LOSE BUSINESS The complaints over the ac- tion taken came mostly from booth operators who were ore dered by police to close down shortly after midnight on Sun- day.

He was stopped in Hay Town- ship on August 18 by Constable Harry Reid, Two Toronto men, IknoUrata and John Bryden, were fined after pleading guilty to a charge of illegal possession. Constable Glassford testified he found the two men sitting at a picnic table on Highway 81 and said there was some ale in their car. Urata, who was the driver of the car, was fined $35 and costs and his passenger received a penalty of $25 and costs. WATER PROBLEMS Council was informed by Wright that a resident had a complaint about water, and tear ne d that the fault was actually that of the town's. Wright said that the water from the town's shed was run- ning off into the garden of Norm Passmore, and suggested the town should correct the situation, Councillor Ross Taylor said he would check it immediately with a view to having an eaves- trough installed. NO PROBLEMS Inspector Gil Burrows, who has received word that he will now have Grand Bend included in his inspectorate, reported no problems anywhere In the school area.

Clare and Wil- liam J. Mayo, all of London, were involved. Police said Clare was the one who failed to stop and started the chain reaction. Seek more reps on Hay's board . Public School Inspector Gil Burrows has this week made a recommendation to Hay coun- cil that may permit more re- presentation from Hensall when the township Is under the juris- diction of one board inJanuary, 1965. He has recommended they pass a resolution asking the minister of education to revise the number of representatives to each municipality in the school area. His recommendation would be for three from Hay Town- ship, one from Zurich and two from Hensall. Present regula- tions call for only a four-man board with one from each of Hensall and Zurich and two from the township. Burrows noted that this ar- rangement did not do justice to Hensall, who will contribute heavily to the school board through their high assessment. Officials in Hensall have been displeased with the pro- posed arrangement and earlier interviewed department of edu- cation officials in an effort to get a change. While it was turned down, the inspector explained the request for a change was presented in an improper manner, as it should have come from the township council or the ma- jority of .municipalities con- cerned. council had a request from a citizen to have a tree removed, and debated over whether or not it should come down. Douglas Robbins, Main Street car dealer, had earlier request- ed a tree be cut at the front of his property, and council de- cided against it. Robbins met with council and asked them to reconsider their decision, noting that it was in such condition that it could come down and smash some of his cars. Councillor Boyle, who was left to look after the request at the last meeting, said there was one dead branch in the tree, but said it was "still a pretty good tree" in his opinion. Robbins argued that almost one-third of the tree was dead. Deputy-Reeve Ralph Bailey Interjected that by looking at the leaves, he doubted if it could be in such a bad condition. Councillor Ferguson said he felt the tree should come down, pointing out Robbins was oper- ating a new business in town and council should co-operate. It was decided that works superintendent Jim Paisley and PUC manager Hugh Davis should look at the tree in their annual inspection and mark if for immediate removal if ne- cessary. If it is not in bad condition, council indicated they would probably have it removed in their annual program next year. Robbins said this was satis- factory to him. Drive carefully-think of your children when approaching mine. UNSAFE PASS Donald Hill, 26, Grand Bend, was fined $25 and costs for passing another vehicle in an unsafe manner on Highway 81. Evidence revealed Hill pulled out to pass one car while an- other was coming in the opposite direction. While he managed to avoid an accident, the other two cars collided with damage estimated at $500. "This was a terrible exper- ience to force on any motorist," Mr. Hays commented. Two speeders also paid fines in court, Tuesday. Gerald Wurm, Exeter, was charged with attaining speeds of between 70 and '75 m.p.h. between Dashwood and Highway 21. He was charged by Constable John Wright and was fined $10 and costs. A fine of $30 and costs was levied against William W, Rad- er, Stephen Township, who was stopped by Constable Glassford for going 90 on Highway 83. ZURICH YOUTHS Two Zurich area youths, Ron- ald Ducharme, 17, and Lester Denomme, 18, were ordered to pay fines of $25 each for pos- session of alcohol. Constable Reid stated he stopped the youths at a lumber yard near Zurich. He said they had been drinking and when he approached they threw their bottles into the ditch. However, he found the bottles. The final liquor offense brought a fine of $20 for Colin Gilfillan, Winchelsea, who was picked up at the rodeo held near Chief scorns -Continued from front page down, Wooden said it was a matter that should possibly be brought up again, and indicated he would approach the board in this matter.

Decided that either a "stop" or ((yield" sign at the corner of Pryde Boulevard and Sanders Street was not necessary as it was an "open corner" and Pryde was not a through street anyway. DRINKERS PAY Fines ran high for several persons who were charged with a variety of charges involving alcohol. Irene Foster, Dashwood, paid a fine of $50 and costs and had her driver's licence suspended for six months after pleading guilty to impaired driving. OPP Constable Bill Glassford testified he stopped Mrs. Foster in Stephen Township on August 8 and said she was substantially impaired. G. Wayne Turvey, Andrew Street, Exeter, was fined $50 and costs of $2.50 for illegal CHARGE SPEEDERS While accidents were few, some of the credit was prob- ably due to the constant patrol- ling of police on area roads, and also the appearance of the traffic division from Kitchener. Cpl. C. J. Mitchell reported 39 charges were laid against speeders in the area by mem- bers of his detachment and the Kitchener radar unit.
