The November 11 speaker commenced his sermon by not- ing that too few people realized what there was to remember on Remembrance Day. "They need to be told more clearly what it is," he suggest- ed, adding that many people found it difficult to remember the broken homes, bodies and nations that resulted from the World Wars. While he noted that most people hoped nations had learn- ed that war is now obsolete as a method of solving problems because it will bring death to all, he said many were slow to learn the causes of war. He explained these as being greed, selfishiness, lust for power, poverty and hatred, and said that these should also be as obsolete as war itself. his verdict of a $150 fine and costs of $2.50. cer he had been drinking when he made the notificationthat his car had been stolen.

Evidence revealed that on October 16, at approximately 1:00 a.m., a car driven by Webber smashed into a parked vehicle owned by Wes Ryckman, Exeter. The Ryckman station — Please turn to back page For the second time in recent months an area youth has caus- ed a member of theExeter OPP detachment to investigate an incident which never happened. And for the second time, Mag- istrate Glenn Hays, Q.C., has handed down a fine of $150 to give clear indication he will not stand for persons wasting the time of police officers to inves- tigate any hoax. The accused in the most re- cent case was 19-year-old Larry Denomme, Zurich, who pleaded guilty in Exeter court, Tuesday, to a charge of causing OPP Constable John Wright to enter upon investigation of the theft of an automobile when no theft had been committed. The officer told the court he received a call from the Zurich area youth at 2:00 a.m. on October 6, and was told Denomme's car had been stolen in Zurich, where it had allegedly been parked in front of a lunch counter. Constable Wright later foUnd the car—which had been dam- aged—in the ditch a short dis- tance from Zurich. True facts of the case, which was described as a hoax, were given by various friends of the accused. Denomme told the offi- with most subscribers on the Seaforth exchange and Tucker- smith Municipal Telephone Sys- tem, as well as Clinton, Exeter and Zurich. Subscribers on the Zurich exchange, which is operated by the Hay Municipal Telephone System will also have a wider calling service after Sunday. Size of the project is indicated by the fact it will involve four telephone companies. Bell Telephone of course is involved in all phases due to the fact they must be associated with the three independent firms in regard to long distance lines. This is the first dial change- over for both the Blanshard and Tuckersmith companies, while the Hay group have made a previous dial changeover at Grand Bend. The subscribers in the Dash- wood area are all who remain to have the dial system as far as the Hay Municipal System is concerned, while the Hayfield subscribers on the Tuckersmith system will join them in being among the few in the area who will still hear "number please" rather than a dial tone when they pick up their receivers.

Grand Bend Reeve Stewart Webb and Bosanquet Reeve Wil- liam Sitter met with Stephen 'officials requesting permission to establish a dumping ground within the vicinity of the Grand Bend airport. Pressure has been brought to bear by residents surround- ing the present resort dump to have it removed. A fire, which allegedly originated in the dump about four miles south of Grand Bend, swept through the area last year and destroyed acres of valuable bushland. Four sites on and around the 19th concession of Stephen were suggested by the two-man dele- gation as possible locations for the dumping grounds. Council hesitated to give their permission to the scheme and In the early hours of Sunday, the entire area switches into a complex telephone communica- tion system that is probably the most significant change since the inception of telephones in the district. At 2:00 a.m., the manual switchboards at Kirkton, Hen- sail, Zurich and Seaforth will be changed to dial in an opera- tion that will take less than two minutes to carry out at each. Besides bringing a new era of telephone communication to these centres and their sur- rounding telephone subscri- bers, the Sunday morning oper- ation will also be the beginning of a much wider free calling area for most district resi- dents. Exeter residents in particu- lar will have a large number of telephones added to their free calling area. "Exeter residents will be able to call all telephones in the Lucan, Hensall and Kirkton exchanges in addition to similar arrangements now in effect with Centralia and Crediton," said W. W. Haysom, Bell Telephone manager for this area. The Kirkton exchange, oper- ated by the Blanshard Municipal Telephone System, was added to the free calling complex by that company in co-operation with the Bell Telephone Com- pany, after representatives of both areas—Kirkton and Exeter —stressed the need of a free calling service between their closely associated communi- ties. Centralia customers will also be able to call Lucan on a local call basis, in addition to calling Exeter and Crediton. Lucan will be in a free calling area with London as well as Exeter, Cen- tralia and Ilderton. Kirkton exchange subscri- bers also receive free calling to St. Marys, while Hensall people will enjoy free service Good weather assist's farmers "Continued fine weather is helping farmers complete their fall work in record time," D. H. Miles, agricultural repre- sentative stated this week. He went on to say that corn harvesting is progressing well with corn moistures lowering satisfactorily. Turnip and sugar beet har- vesting is going ahead, and fall plowing is about 60%completed, Miles said in concluding his weekly crop report. Police report two collisions Damage amounted to $300 in two accidents investigated by members of the Exeter police department this week. On Friday at 7:10 p.m., cars driven by Eli Brown, 252 Wil- liam Street, and Lorne Turn- bull, 93 Gidley Street, collided at the intersection of Main and Sanders Street. Brown had been proceeding west on Sanders Street East and Turnbull was in the process of making a left hand turn off Main onto Sanders when the crash occurred. The $75 damage estimated by Constable Harry VanBergen was all sustained by the Turn- bull vehicle. On Saturday at 8:05 p.m., Constable Lloyd Hodgins in- vestigated a two-car crash on Main Street in the vicinity of Cann's Mill. The cars were driven by Larry Richard Sni- der, 20, Simcoe Street, and William Perry, 445 Main Street. Perry was proceeding north and was in the process of mak- ing a left turn off Main Street when Snider crashed into the rear end of his vehicle. Damage to Snider's car was estimated at $150 and $75 to the vehicle being driven by Perry. suggested the resort use the present facilities situated north-east of Shipk a, about seven miles from Grand Bend. The approval is for a one- year trial period. Stephen council also decided to hire London engineer, Wil- liam Ayearst, to conduct apre- liminary survey in regard to instituting a water supply sys- tem from the Lake Huron pipe- line for the lakeshore residents between Port Blake and Grand Bend. Residents of Oakwood and other subdivisions north of the resort under Stephen jurisdic- tion, asked that the survey be made. At the meeting, Reeve Glenn Webb said he felt a lot of people interested in water from the pipeline would be disappointed.

D. Ritchie, deputy clerk- treasurer at Riverside for the past year, has been appointed clerk-treasurer of Bosanquet Township. He succeeds Donald Frayne, who starts new duties as clerk-treasurer of St. Marys Dec. 1, after serving nine years in Thedford. Mr. Ritchie was selected from among five applicants in- terviewed for the position. A former resident of Stratford, he started his career with Lon- don Township in 1959. Following annexation, Mr. Ritchie worked in the City of London finance department, and a year ago was appointed to his former post at Riverside. Exceptional children and the special services that may be provided to meet their individ- ual needs, was the subject used in the speech given by J. L. Rothman, inspector of special services with the department of education, at the. Monday night meeting of the Exeter Home and School Association. Mr. Rothman defined the term "exceptional children" and pointed out to the large gather- ing that this expression applied to children at both ends of the learning scale. He noted that quite often there was the mis- taken impression that excep- tional only applied to those who experienced learning difficul- ties in the classroom. To enlarge on the high per- centage of children with diffi- culties in any given area, he cited a recent survey conducted in the United States which in- dicated that out of every 1,000 of the population under 21 years of age we should be prepared to find the following abnormali- ties: One child with a cleft palate or hair lip, four children with epilepsy, five with cerebral palsy, six with heart abnormal- ities, 1'7 with physical handi- caps, 19 with hearing defects, 24 with visual problems, 29 with personality or emotional problems, and 40 who are ment- ally handicapped or retarded. These figures do not include those with speech problems, various neurological problems, Usborne will build pair of park areas Centennial project ready by 2067? the educationally retarded, or the superior or gifted learner, who obviously require some special help also. In Ontario, it was noted, ap- proximately twenty percent of the children enrolled in our schools had problems of either a physical or emotional nature serious enough to hinder them in their school work. Mr. Rothman passed com- ment on the number of speech problems that are apparent. Many of these disappear as the child grows, but where the prob- lem is a lasting one, it was suggested that special instruc- tion in isolation from the regu- lar classroom programme may assist to overcome this defect. The implication was that a speech problem relatively simple and innocent at first could develop into a more ser- ious emotional situation as time went on. The largest group mentioned by Mr. Rotham were those who found it impossible to keep up with regular work. Children must achieve and if the achieve- ment cannot take place in the academic area the child will seek recognition elsewhere, he stated. Bullies, are ofttimes children who find a sense of superiority when picking on those less able to stand up to them, Consequently, Mr. Roth- man stated, we must give ser- ious consideration to classing achievement as another of our basic needs. Based on other statistics, it was thought that a conservative estimate in Exeter alone would to a minimum of 15 child, ren now in school who need in- diVidual assistance, with the strong pOSsibility of double that, number being present if we took all fields of exceptionalism into account.

Fortunately the deadline for applidations has been extended past its original November 9 deadline. After having agreed on the centennial project, council turned the matter over to RAP.
