Continued from front page but said the bridge opentng was an example that they were now going ahead. Larnbton Warden, Lorne gar, took up the challenge,, and noted how pleased his fellow citizens had, been in the wise decision made by Greed Bend in. joining them. Huron Warden, Ralph Jewell, and Bruce Scott; deputy-reeve of Bosanquet followed up by noting the ee-eperation there was between the two counties in the past years, However, this was ProvPn to be a hit of a myth by Loree Henderson, Lambtongat NTT), who noted that the counties bad to go to court some 40 years ego when the original bridge was being built. He explained that Huron had not wanted to share in the cost and Lambtori had taken the case into court, where a judge ruled that both counties had to share in the cost. PAY TRIBUTE The usual flowery congratu- lations were heaped on those who had helped with the project and Hon, Q. S. MacNaughton was the recipient of many, Jim Dalton, a former reeve of Grand Bend and warden of Lambton, noted the resort had tried vainly to have the danger- Movie rights have now been bought for the book, Mr. Carter suggested village council could have the monu- ment erected in the Lucan Park, as a tourist attraction, since the village is closely associated out corner fiSed for some time, but it took the courage of Mac. Naughton to Implement StepS to have it rectified. “He took immediate steps after being named to the post,'? Dalton explained to the crowd of about 100. The former reeve also, issued a challenge to the pregent coun- cil to have the grounds around the bridge beautified. He said the area could be one of the most picturesque in the district.

One alternative, he said, would be to offer the marker to London's pioneer village. Mr. Carter did not say where the famed gravestone is now, ex ept that It is in "a safe place". He said a new marker will be placed on the graves after it has been completed by a stonemason. He said It will not bear "all the exotic markings" of the original gravestone— which said after each name — "mur- dered".

After several other "faults" in the construction were pointe ed put, some members of RAP queptierred whether not haying an engineer design the poet had been a wise move. Some noted that the money saved by not having one may well be spent in correcting some errors. Lloyd Cushman noted as well that, some of the tradesmen working on the pool had been disappointed because there was not an engineer on the job. The pool was closed last week according to Willert and the largest number using it in one day was 250. In other business, RAP: Named Fisher, Simmons and Frayne to a committee to de- velop and submit plans for the centennial project to Clerk C. V. Pickard to be forwarded for approval of the park beautifica- tion plans. Took no action on Baynham's suggestion to hold Sunday rol- ler skating at the arena. Learned the roof at the arena would be fixed this week. Hire teachers --Continued from front page er Intelligence than those of a "D" or any other class. The Presbyterian minister said he had asked the question because he had received some complaints along this line, as many people thought the stu- dents in the "A" class were rated more intelligent than those of a class with another letter. Closing Business Sept. 26 CREDITON MEAT MARKET The store will be closed to the public but will continue to do custom business such as the slaughtering of hogs and cattle for freezers, etc. ALL OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS ARE NOW PAYABLE THANKS TO MY MANY CUSTOMERS FOR THEIR PATRONAGE. C. H, SCHENK Members •Pf_ APR 1 e ne d MondaY they have two heating Prehleins, one at the arena and one at their new sWirrni4g. pool. The problem with the heat at the arena is that there is not enough in the gymnasium to permit the holding of some recreation programp such as the art club. ' The disposition of the art club was broeght up when chair- man Tom MacMillan noted they were out of a place to meet since the library basement was no longer available. The arena gymeasium was suggested, but arena manager Alvin Willert quickly pointed out it would be too cold for such a program. A discussion was held on the matter and it was decided to investigate the costs of radiant heeters for the large room, The question of heat in re- gard to the swim pool was brought up by Willert, who sug- gested the bath house would have to be heated during the winter in order to protect the flooring and because he also doubted the water would drain out of some of the pipes pro- perly, and they could freeze and burst. LUCAN Randy Hicks, small daugh- ter of Mr. 84 Mrs. Stanley Hicks of Centralia, has re- turned home, after spending a few days with Mrs. Alma Price, The infamous Black Doe- nellys may ride againor at least their PerneterY headstone will be on the move. Monday night, the headstone was, offered to Lucan council by the St. Patrick's Roman Catholic cherch, in whose cemetery the marker has rested for 84 years. The offer was made by F. G. Carter, lawyer for the Roman Catholic Diocese of London. The headstone, which noted the names of old JIM, his wife and other members of his fam- ily, has already been removed from the Biddelph cemetery due to the fact hordes of annual visitors damaged the church- yard during visits to the site. Some even went so far as to get into the church and attempt- ed to take articles as keepsakes. As many as 1,400 sightseers a week have been reported and a large wire fence was not even strong enough to keep them out, Some held picnics in the churchyard and the cemetery. Interest in the monuments to the murdered Donnellys has been heightened by publications of books and popular songs recounting their murder and the blood feud which led to it. Police Constable James Tomlinson, 23, son of Mrs. Marjorie Mikes, Exeter, re- ceived back injuries over the weekend when he was thrown from his police motorcycle, which skidded and overturned in Springbank park. UP SALARIES Following the request of Mrs. Jean Keller, stenographer at the school, for a pay increase, the board decided to give both she and Miss Doris Swartz a pay hike. Mrs. Keller, whose request for a pay increase was turned down in the spring, asked that her salary be raised from $150 a month to $200. After a lengthy discussion, the board decided to give each of the two ladies an immediate pay increase of $200 per an- num, bringing Mrs. Keller's salary to $2,000 and that of Miss Swartz to $3,200. It was also recommended that Miss Swartz receive a yearly lai.ost of $200 until she reaches $3,600; and a $100 a year in- crease to the junior steno- grapher until she reaches $2,- 200. In other business, the board: Approved a request from Mrs. Andrew Dixon to rent two more typewriters for the typ- ing classes. She pointed out there were only 40 on hand and some of the classes had this many students, leaving no ex- tras for any that had to be re- paired. The machines rent for $5 per month. Gave Principal Sturgis per- mission to raise the caution fee to $4 for students in grades nine and ten who receive free texts. The money is refunded if the books are returned in good shape at the end of the year. Asked that Mr. Sturgis ad- vise Joe Wooden to apply for the principal's course for the coming summer class. Gave assurance to the On- tario School Trustees' Council that they would not exceed the recommended salaries for teachers as set by the Council. Transport 1,191 kids; most picked up at gate Seaforth man chosen for trip Robert Fotheringham, RR 3 Seaforth, will represent Huron County on the Junior Farmers Soil and Land Use Tour, Sep- tember 21 to 24. Bob has an excellent 4-H record, is alead- er of the Tuckersmith4-1.1 Cron Club and is currently second vice-president of the Huron County Junior Farmers. He is well known for his ability to win championships at district Seed Fairs and as a judge of field crop competitions. a match as the jets were worn out. This created a hazard if gas had built up in the lines. Beaver Food Services also suggested a $730 food' mixer and stand would be a valuable addition to the kitchen. The board at HSDHS approved adoption of the bus routes set up by Exeter Coach Lines for transporting students, and se- veral members expressed amazement as well as plea- sure — at the efficient manner in which the bus system is or- ganized. It was noted only a few stu- dents had to walk any distance — the rest being picked up at their gates. Secretary-treasurer E.D. Howey reported the system was "more complex than ever be- fore" as the bus firm not only transports high school students, but also brings students into the Precious Blood Separate School and the Usborne Township cen- tral school. They also transport the high school students on to Clinton and take along some elementary students to attend the Calvin Christian school in that town as well. Howey explained there were l7 bus routes in operation this year with a total of 1,191 stu- dents being transported. Of this total, 724 go to the high school. Bus rates cost the board a total of $6,592.00 a month, an increase of $220.00 a month over last year. He added there were 60 ad- ditional high school students being transported this year, which worked out to about 20e per day for each. This is actually much lower than the average cost of 43e per pupil being transported. Howey explained the new setup was costing less than what it would if only the high school students were being transport- ed. LUCAN Mrs. Louis Kilmer is making satisfactory recovery after her recent operation. Sunday, Mr. & Mrs. Murray Hodgins attended the Brant St., UC in Brantford to hear the Rev. Arthur E. Kewley, who married them 25 years ago September 2. Following the ser- vice they were guests of Rev. & Mrs. Raymond J. McKnight of Hamilton. Mrs. Eva Colbert of London was a weekend guest of Mr. & Mrs. William Brownlee. The high school board pays only for its own students, with the boards of the other elemen- tary schools having their own agreements with the bus firm. TRUANT OFFICER After a lengthy discussion on the matter, Howey was author- ized to contact Exeter Police Chief S. H. MacKenzie, in re- gard to taking on the duties of the attendance officer. Garnet Hicks contended the board should receive approval from the town council, but other members pointed out this should be MacKenzie's duty before ac- cepting the position. He will be paid $50 per year if he accepts, and his main du- ties will probably be chasing youngsters out of certain down- town establishments during the times when they are supposed to be in classes. The board also authorized the secretary to request a repre- sentative of Beaver Food Ser- vices to attend the next board meeting to discuss what equip- ment was needed in the cafeteria kitchen. The firm presented along list to the board, but the members decided they should find out which were needed most. Rev. John Boyne said he felt the old range should be re- placed, noting he was "afraid" of it. "I don't think it would last another year," he said. After E. D. Howey reported on its dangerous condition, Rev. Boyne noted the board would look "awful stupid" if it blew up. Indications were that the pro- pane gas stove had to be lit with Surprise woman before departure LUCAN Prior to moving to her new Islington home, Mrs. Art Bell of Beech St:, was guest of honor at a surprise party, sponsored by Mrs. Cecil Lewis and Mrs. Clarence Young and held at the home of the former, last Wed- nesday evening. Fifteen members of Mrs. Bell's bowling team and near neighbours were present and during the evening Mrs. Bell was presented with an electric kettle, with Mrs. Young making the presentation. Mrs. James Mugford and Ja- mie spent a few days with Mrs. Lloyd Maguire of Scotland while Mr. Maguire was in the hos- pital. *ea "he Imeited To See The All New '65 Chevrolets And Oldsmobiles In Our Showroom SEPT. 24 SNELL BROS.

He noted that Thompson had much of the support of the strong Toronto contingent, and also Walter Gordon, a cabinet minister with prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. The voting will continue at the convention until one of the candidates has a clear majority of the delegates. Another delegate to the con- vention is Harry Strang, twice the Liberal standard bearer in the Huron riding. However, he said if the weather remains fine he will have to give priority to his bean harvest and may miss the proceedings. He indicated he had been in favor of Templeton in the race, and said he would have liked to see him run.

People are tough. We cooled off, we realized there wasn't a sensible thing we could do about it, and we went to the conven- tion. But not before we'd done some checking, and found he'd cleaned out his bank account, taken his guitar, and, to his mother's extreme mortifica- tion, absconded with only two clean shirts. Back from the convention, we received two letters. Excerpt: "Two really friendly ladies drove me from Kingston to Ot- tawa and bought me a sandwich and milk-shake. I insisted on paying, of course, but they told me just to do the same for somebody else some time." Excerpt: "I am going to Grand'Mere, Quebec, to spend a couple of weeks with a French family. I met the boy at the sta- tion in Ottawa. He is 19, his name is Michel, and he's going to U. of Montreal in the fall." Excerpt: "I am staying with the Ricaxds. He is a painter (in houses). Mrs. Ricard is 40 and rather pretty, a bit taller than her husband and doesn't speak a word of English. They are all extremely friendly and hospit- able. At first, I could not under- stand a thing. They have an ac- cent which pronounces mere, mire, and soeur, sire; moi is moee and Toi, Tooee." Page 4 and 5 of this letter are missing. P. 6 begins, "Just like you, Mom," which is driv- ing my wife crazy. There's a lot of other stuff, then: "Last night, Michel and I double-dated with one of his girl-friends and her sister (they are both really cute). We went to ShaWinigan for a band con- cert. There were about three times as many boys as girls and they all stood 'bumper to bum- per' on each side of the path while the couples walked be- tween them. Soon it started Pouring, so we went to a dance." Well, the kid's getting some sense. He knows enough to get in Out of the rain. There was a little message on the outside of the envelope of his last letter. It was the least literary thing he'd written, It said, "Please send $10." When the whole thing Stare ted, I was ready to send hiin to jail for 20 years. Instead I sent hitt the lb dollars. MORE EXCITEMENT The accident did not end the excitement around the garage that night, as over six heel's later the Blyth ear caught fire. A passing motorist advised the garage owner and hiS fam- ily and they ran to the scene in an effort to control the blaze.
