school buildings themselves.

Ninety-second Year EXETER, ONTARIO, OCTOBER 29, 1964 Price Per Copy 10 Cents
At a meeting last week, the
Hay Township School Area
board made their final sugges-
tions on the architect's draw-
ings for the three-room addition
to their school in Zurich.
The firm of Riddle, Connor,
Falls & Irvine, London, will
now prepare the final drawings
and it is expected these will be'
presented to the board for their
final approval within the next
two weeks.
Following this they will be
sent to the department of edu-
cation for approval and then
the board will be able to call
tenders for the construction
of the rooms, which includes
two classrooms and an audi-
torium.
Also included in the job will
be a new heating unit, a change
in the sewage disposal facilities
and modifications to the present
six-room building.
Total grant on the job is
$60,000, and while no estimate
has been given as yet, it will
cost considerably more than
the $60,000 figure.
When Hay Township comes
under the control of one board
in January, it is expected plans
will proceed for a similar addi-
tion at the Hensall school and
all students in the township
will eventually be taught at
either of the central schools.
A report in a recent issue
of The London Free Press,
stating "tenders for an eight-
room central school to be built
in Zurich will be called late
next month" were erroneous.
May know
next week!
ONE INJURED
One driver was injured
slightly with facial lacerations
when two cars collided on the
main road at RCAF Centralia,
Thursday, at '7:00 p.m.
Drivers involved were Givlio
Velletri, Scarboro, and Micky
Fejkl, RR 2 Centralia.
Velletri was eastbound on the
road and stopped after missing
the entrance to the gas station.
As he proceeded to back up,
his car was struck from the rear
by the Fejkl vehicle.
A total of $225 damage was
sustained by the cars.
The final accident was on
Saturday at 8:15 a.m., a short
distance east of Zurich on High-
way 84.
Involved were Donna Isobel
Thiel, RR 2 Zurich, and Harry
R. Bossenberry, Grand Bend.
The latter was eastbound on
Highway 84 and was proceed-
ing to make a left turn onto a
concession road. The Zurich
area lady saw him in the west-
bound lane as she proceeded
west and attempted to drive
around him.
However, they collided at the
north side of the road and the
Thiel car had damages esti-
mated at $500, and there was
$100 damage to the Grand Bend
man's car.
NO INQUEST, NO CHARGES
IN TWO AREA FATALITIES
Lay preacher at
local church
Last Sunday was observed as
Laymen's Sunday at the Angli-
can churches in Exeter and
Hensall. The preacher in both
churches was an Exeter layman,
Bruce D. Sturrock, clerk-in-
charge of the Centralia and
Crediton branches of the Bank
of Montreal.
Mr. Sturrock spoke about the
parable of yeast leavening the
flour. He said, "just as the
yeast and flour, when mixed,
become dough ready for baking,
so it is with us. Whether we
are at home, at work, or at
play, the word of God can bene-
fit us if we are ready to mix
it into our daily lives."
"If we try to do the will of
God not only in church but at
home and at work, then all our
waking hours will be affected
for good. One person with good
intent can affect the lives of
many," he stated.
The service was conducted
by Harry Page and F/L Phil
Rhodes. The lessons were read
in Exeter by Herb Broom and
Charles Barrett, and inHensall
by Clark Forrest and Danny
Cameron.

DRIVER IMPROVES
At South Huron Hospital, Miss
Mary Gardiner, London, is re-
ported as ',progressing favour-
ably" from injuries she re-
ceived in the double fatality on
Highway 4, south ofExeter, last
Monday.
She was alone in her car,
returning home from her po-
sition in Exeter with Snell Bros.
Ltd., when she ran into a car
driven by a Seaforth lady, which
skidded and went out of control
and shot sideways directly into
the path of Miss Gardiner's ve-
hicle.
Police reported this week
there would be no charges laid
and no inquest will be held.
Dead in the crash were Mrs.
Elmer Larone and Mrs. John
Talbot, both of Seaforth.
Mrs. Talbot's 14-year-old
daughter, Sharon, was trans-
ferred from Exeter to Scott
Memorial Hospital in Seaforth,
Saturday. It was reported she
was "as satisfactory as could
be expected".
The girl suffered shock, a
broken clavicle and knee in-
juries in the crash.
OPP Constable Harry Reid
was the investigating officer,
assisted by Cpl. C. J. Mit-
chell.

Present chimes
for church organ
"I haven't thought much about
it yet!"
That was the general reaction
The Times-Advocate received
this week in a poll of several
area municipal officials in re-
gard to whether they would seek
re-election this year.
Other comments received
were: "Is it- that time of year
already?" "You're a little pre-
mature aren't you?" "I hardly
know yet."
But don't be altogether mis-
led by the statements. There's
no doubt most of them are think-
ing of nomination time — which
comes in less than a month—
and to bear this out, most in-
dicated they would prob abl y
make some sort of statement as
to their intentions at their final
council meetings.
And for most of them, that's
either Monday or Tuesday.
There's no obligation on their
part to announce their inten-
tions, but most feel it is only
fair to the ratepayers that they
should have some idea of what
vacancies there may be.
General indication received
in The T-A poll is that most
of the area councillors and
reeves will seek another term.
None indicated definitely he
would not run, although one or
two hinted they would be happy
to see someone else run in their
place.
At any rate, The T-A hopes
to have a more definite answer
for all area residents in next
week's issue.
Children again plan
Hallowe'en 'treats'
District students again will
"treat" their less fortunate
brothers and sisters in foreign
countries this Hallowe'en..
The UNICEF collection
on spirits' night, started inter-
nationally six years ago, is now
becoming a tradition in this area
and school officials report the
children look forward to sharing
their Hallowe'en goodies with
others who need them more.

during the second session last
October.
This visit was made possible
by members of his congregation
and the late Bishop John C.
Cody. Purpose of the visit was
to be a demonstration of good
will by the Chatham church to-
ward the Roman Catholic
Church in that city.
Mr. Plaskett has also spent
three years on the London Con-
ference committee on church
unity, which has been meeting
with a corresponding committee
of the Huron Diocese of the
Anglican Church on a plan for
union between these two Com-
munions.
Kirkton heifer
sells for $420
One of the top prices paid
at the Huron County Holstein
Club sale at Glanworth recently,
was $420 for a bred heifer
consigned by Ross Marshall,
Kirkton.
It was purchased by Donald
G. Mitchell, Alvinston.
First trailer
rolls off line
had forced two cars off the
road while speeding through
Exeter.
"This is very, very bad driv-
ing," Magistrate Hays com-
mented, "and I wonder how old
one must be to realize it."
Otto Smale, Glencoe, a for-
mer resident of Hensall and
Clinton, was fined a total of
$55 and costs of $5 on two
charges to which he pleaded
guilty.
The 19-year-old pleaded
guilty to a charge of speeding
and one of unlawful possession
of alcohol.
Constable Lloyd Hodgins was
again the officer who laid the
charge and he told the court he
pursued a car north to Hensall
while it was doing speeds of up
to 95 m.p.h. in a 60 zone.
When he finally stopped the
driver, who was Smale, Hodgins
said there was an occupant in
the car who showed signs of
drinking, and there was also
one open bottle of beer in the
vehicle.
After Smale admitted he knew
he was being followed by the
police when he was speeding,

$176.50 behind in court fines
and costs, and one has a dam-
aged motor to repair as a result
of his escapade.
James G. Gould, 20, RR 1
Exeter, pleaded guilty to a
charge of careless driving and
was fined a total of $100 and
costs of $16.50.
Magistrate Hays did not sus-
pend the youth's driving permit
after being told by James Don-
nelly, Goderich lawyer, that the
loss of a permit would jeopar-
dize the youth's job as a truck
driver.
The charge against Gould was
brought against him by Con-
stable Lloyd Hodgins, who told
the court he heard Gould's car
travelling through Exeter
shortly after supper on Septem-
ber 21 at a high r ate of speed.
The officer estimated the
speed at up to 80 m.p.h.
At the north end intersection,
Gould turned left onto Highway
83 and at the first Hay township
sideroad, proceeded north on
the road and was finally appre-
hended some two and a half
miles north of Hensall when a
rod burned out of his motor.
Evidence also revealed Gould
Hope behaviour
continues along
Local youths and youngsters
apparently heeded the warning
issued by Chief C. H. MacKen
zie last week in regard to the
action planned against pre-Hal-
lowe'en pranksters by members
of the local force.
With the threat of having
charges brought against them,
the young people wisely avoid-
ed any incidents which could
lead to such serious repercus-
sions and no damage was re-
ported in the past week.
Chief C. H. MacKenzie said
this week he hopes the youths
will continue their more in-
telligent behaviour for Hallow-
e'en night this Saturday.
He again said the police would
be "watching it closely" and
extended his warning of bring-
ing charges against vandals
caught doing damage to pro-
perty.
In an effort to keep a close
watch on things this weekend,
five or six extra men will be
added to the force and will tra-
vel in pairs in unmarked cars
throughout the night.
While youths behaved them-
selves in Exeter the past week,
there was some vandalism re-
ported at Centralia.
Norman Wilson, 12-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell
Wilson, reported his bundle of
34 newspapers had been torn
to pieces and strewn about the
Centralia post office drop-off
point.
Two other Centralia stores
found their newspapers miss-
ing as well.
Store windows throughout the
Village were reported as being
heavily soaped.
New organ chimes and an
"old" minister featured the
anniversary services held at
Main Street United Church's
69th anniversary, Sunday.
The new chimes were donated
by Mrs. W. J. Beer in memory
of the Beer and Quance fami-
lies. They were played by the
guest organist, Bonnie McRae,
Dashwood.
Special speaker for the morn-
ing and evening services was
the Rev. H. J. Mahoney, who
was minister at Main Street
United Church some 15 years
ago.
He is presently in London.
Special music by both the
senior and junior choirs fea-
tured the event, under the
leadership of Mrs. Lorne Klein-
stiver. J. G. Burrows rendered
a solo in the evening.
This Sunday, James Street
United Church will mark its
anniversary and the guest min-
ister will be the Rev. Charles
R. Plaskett, Chatham.
Rev. Plaskett will speak on
"The Unity We Seek" and has
a good background for such a
topic. He was a guest observer
at the Vatican Council in Rome
Investigating officers of the
Exeter OPP detachment have
concluded most of their inves-
tigations into the three area
accidents which resulted in the
deaths of four persons in the
past three weeks.
Only one driver has been
charged over the fatalities.
There will be no inquest held
into the death of a 50-year..
old Hensall lady who was killed
Wednesday, nor will there be
any charges laid.
Mrs. Laurene McKenzie was
killed shortly before 9:00 pm,
Wednesday, when she was
struck by a car driven by Mil-
ton Love, 71, Hensall.
The woman was walking along
the west side of Highway 4 at
the northern limits of the vil-
lage and was hit by the south-
bound car.
The driver told OPP Con-
stable Yeaman that the woman
came out of nowhere into the
path of his car.
Mrs. McKenzie, who would
have observed her 52nd birth-
day this month, was the former
Laurene Schwalm and was a
member of the Hensall Legion
Ladies Auxiliary and Carmel
Presbyertian Church.
Surviving are four sons,
Glenn, Ronald and Jack, all at
home; Ray, of Toronto; her
mother, Mrs. Violet Schwalm,
}Jensen; five brothers, Gordon
and Ray, Hensall; Austin, Strat-
ford; Lee, H amilton; Carl,

Last year the children in
Canada alone collected almost
$400,000 in pennies, nickels and
dimes for the world-wide hu-
manitarian work.
UNICEF is a crusade by
children for children.
But it is not a charity in the
true sense of the word. It's a
much more practical program
than that.
It's a two-way street, and any
government wishing assistance
under the United Nations Child-
ren's Fund applies in writing
to the International UNICEF
body for aid in such specific
areas as disease control, milk
processing plants, mother and
child clinics, school equipment.
But for every dollar expend-
ed by UNICEF, the local govern-
ment provides $2.50 in build-
ings, personnel and local pro-
ducts.
UNICEF respects the self-
help on the part of local govern-
nients. Of necessity this is
limited by the economy of each
developing country. But UNI-
CEF is'world-wide. It needs
the financial assistance of Intel-
ligent world citizens.
Coins dropped in the UNICEF
Hallowe'en boxee make possible

Ltd. plant on Highway 83 at
4:30 p.m., bringing to com-
pletion several months of plan-
ning and building of Exeter's
newest industry.
President Bill Smith of Cus-
tom Trailers Ltd. said he was
quite proud. He said the com-
pany hat a "very rosy future."

long.
"Since he leases the trailers
over and oVer again", said Mr.
Smith, "we built it a little more
rugged and with more attention
to detail."
Yesterday's unit was only
the first of a series for Miller.
