The 6090 bell Par $25, That was the unusual switch in values found by Usborne Teamehie school officials when they sold three of their one- room schools by public auction, Saturday. In two cases, the school bells brought more spirited bidding and better prices than the school buildings themselves. At SS 2, Thames Road Ihe school bell was sold to John Bolden, former Hay Township councillor, for $22, The bend, ing, which must be removed from its present site, was sold to Les Desjardiee, Cromarty, Bid soon on Hay school Choir seeks engagements Ternbull was proceedipg west on Highway •83 whea a. car in 4'90 of 1141a slowed to make left hand turn into lapeway.

It just so happens a bevy of attractive, young, district ladies are look- ing for someone to entertain. Ron Heimrich, music direc- tor of The T-A Choristers, reported this week his young choir has resumed rehearsals again and are now inviting per- formance engagements. The girls, all from this area, are also starting on their Christmas Cantata. Bonnie Heather McRae is again accom- panist for the group. The choir is also open for new members, to replace a few of the "graduates" who have not already been replaced, Inter- ested girls should contact the director. Practices are held Tuesday night in the Exeter Legion Hall. Former officer gets remanded Carl W.

He appeared last Thursday, but was remanded until today (Thursday). He entered no plea and bail was set at $1,000 cash or $2,000 property.

The bell, at Zion was net auctioned, as it has not been located since it was taken dowil one Hallowe'en. However, it is possible it may turn up in time to be sold at one of the achool sales this Saturday. The land at Zion was sold by Alvin Wolper, auctioneer, to Ross Bern for $22. The only other school to be sold was SS 10, Lumley. It was sold as a complete parcel with land and all and went to Bob Wragg, Exeter, for $800. Soldan purchased that school's bell for $25. The only other valuable com- modity -- or at least judging by the bidding— was the piano at each of the schools. Two of them went for $25 and the other went for $55. The buyers included Mrs. Wragg, Peter Raymond and the Zion United Church. Garnet Hicks, secretary- 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.

Playing games is costly pair fined over $175 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. —Please turn to back page Two young drivers chastised for "playing games" with the police, didn't get off with only verbal punishments when they appeared before Magistrate Glenn Hays, Q.C., in Exeter court, Tuesday. Between them they also left Won't YOU help, too? Cathy Simmons, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Simmons, Exeter, will be among the hundreds of area public school children who'll be asking for "treats" for underprivileged children throughout the world this Hallowe'en. 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. Public school students from 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, --Please turn to page 12 $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, Petawawa; five sisters, Mrs. Harold (Nelda) Hansen, Strat- ford; Mrs. Bill (Margaret) Wayne, B.C.; Mrs. Jack (Vio- let) McFarlane, St. Thomas; Mrs. Don (Florence) Perdue, B.C.; Mrs. Arthur (May) O'- Hara, Belleville.

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.

The first trailer rolled out of Exeter's Custom Trailers 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." The unit was a mobile con- struction office built to the specifications of Miller Mobile Hornet of Cooksville, a lease and rental agency to the con- struction industry.
