Ready Mix CONCRETE ';'411g Thames Road folk surprise celebrant Fleas flop, wasps win The Exeter Public School football season ended Wednes- day as the Fleas defeated the Wasps in a tense, tough contest. The Wasps romped to an early lead on an end run by Jack Kraft who covered 54 yards for six points. The Fleas struggled back and finally Ron Moore plunged five yards for a Flea major score. The Wasps marched back and kicked into the Flea end zone for a single. That made it 7-6. At last the Wasps were "swarmed" under as another Moore, namely Bob, scampered straight through the Wasp line for six points. The same Bob Moore finished off the scoring with another long run near the end of the game. The final score was Fleas over Wasps 18-7. Good sportsmanship prevail- ed as the .Wasps gave three cheers to the Fleas as Flea captain Gary Campbell picked up the championship trophy.

It was felt it may have to be designated as a connecting link in the future if development along the highway required more accesses to industrial sites. It was felt it would be foolish to change the existing setup at present, as it could prove costly.

Sanitation is girls' study The fourth meeting of Elim- ville 4-H club 1 was held at the home of Sharon Fletcher. Roll call was answered by 11 members with "A defect in my posture". Notes were given by Mrs. Cliff Jaques on sanitation. Dem- onstrations on posture were given by Barbara Gilfillan, Emily Dykeman and Sharon Fletcher. The fifth meeting was held Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Cliff Jaques. Notes were given by Mrs. Jaques. The samples of water taken by the girls, were handed in. Guess what drew quips? Discussion of the Good Roads convention came Minot; 4;1114y, and dreW the usual number of quips and suggestiens of some delegates' deportment at the annual event. A letter was received asking for any resolutions which coup- ell may have in mind to present for discussion. Such resolutions were described as the "life- blood of the convention". They were also asked if any logal officials may be in line for the long service certificates which are handed out at the an- nual event. "Reeve Fisher suggested the requests be left with Councillor Taylor as "he's kind of a live- wire down there". "Mayhe he's in line for one of the awards?" another ques- tioned. Taylor replied that Reeve Fisher was more in line for an award than he. Councillor Joe Wooden at- tempted to get some serious- ness into the discussion when he questioned if the Good Roads convention should perhaps deal with the "lineal development" caused by the building of re- sidences along major highways near municipalities. He referred to the develop- ment along Highway 4 south of Exeter as an example. No one appeared to know if this would be a suitable topic, and Jim Paisley, works super- intendent, added there were "more horizontal than lineal problems" at the convention. The letter was subsequently filed. Exeter council this week de- cided not to concur with a resolution from the Town of Trenton witich called for a re, duction of education costs at the local level by having the provin- cial government assume a greater portion of the posts, The letter from Trenton in-. dicated they p4p.ned to include such a suggeition on their ballot at thiS year's election to see if their ratepayers would approve of it. It was explained that while it would not carry any direct weight, it would help show the gevernment what the people of Ontario wanted. Trenton's letter said the in- creased costs of education were detrimental to other phases of municipal government, but the Ontario government would pro- bably not do anything about it until such time as "the people scream loud enough". They noted that a vote ap- proved by a majority of the residents at local elections would serve as the indication to the government that they should consider another source of revenue for education costs. Councillor Wooden stated that if the government assumed a greater share—or all—of the costs of education, they would also want to assume the juris- diction over education, and the .local municipalities would lose any control over education. "They control it now," com- mented Mayor Simmons. However, Wooden pointed out school boards still have a cer- tain degree of autonomy in that they set their own policies and decide what courses they will offer. "We shouldn't concur be- cause we don't know anything about it," Councillor Taylor stated, although he later noted that the quality of education may be improved if profession- als appointed by the government had full control. Wooden noted this was the trend with there being less and less for local officials to con- trol. Council decided not to concur with the Trenton suggestion after Councillor De lbr i dg e questioned what difference it would make in the long run as to how the money was collected for education purposes. BAD ROAD Councillor Derry Boyle con- demned yet another of Exeter's streets, when he said Victoria Street East was "not fit to drive fast on". He came forth with his state- ment after Wooden reported receiving complaints from re- sidents on the arena street in regard to "late and loud" traf- fic. Boyle said he couldn't figure Plant 235 • 0833 Residence 228 - 6961 C.A.McDOWELL Ltd.

SEEK WATER William Allison, also of Southcott Pines, indicated that there was some wish from home owners in that area to be able to use the village water supply when it was available. He ask- ed that they be invited to meet- ings pertaining to this subject. Harry Sherwood, ornamental bird fancier, and property own- er in the Green Acres subdivis- ion, was advised to have the "squawk", removed from his four peacocks, so that the y would not be a nuisance to resi- dents in that area. An operation can be performed to remove the birds' voice boxes. Council received word from the Chamber of Commerce that a majority vote in that body favoured the name "81 Cres- cent" for a new street which passes in front of the post office. A vote passed that this would be the name council would assign the street. They also concurred with ad- vice from the Chamber con- cerning a desire to continue going on Daylight Saving Time Attains degree Malcolm J.
