In other business, RAP: Received a letter from the EPS board agreeing to the use of their gymnasium by members. of the junior square dance club.. However,. the board paggepted there should be more control over "unruly participants". The suggestion was that there was no damage being done in the school, but some of the youngsters were getting into mischief on the streets .after the dances. Chairman Tom MacMillan explained the board was con- cerned over the fact parents may be under the impression the children were at the dance classes, while in fact they may be on the streets. It was suggested the matter be mentioned to the square dance leaders. There was no suggestion the leaders were being lax; in fact, it was pointed out they kept a rigid control over the youngsters while they were in the school. iag your duty as an elected O- ficial if you choese to ignore OPP! children ,as individual. problems.'!

"The slow will never catch up to the swift", he said. "This is not a fairy story or fantasy as with the tortoise and the hare. The able can, and are, being dragged back by the boys and girls who need extra help from the already harassed classroom teacher. Make no mistake, he wanton, "this is as true here as in any community on this continent. You cannot claim to be accept- "we don't have any of those Problems." Gerd BaYnham said after hearing Mayor Simmons and Claude Farrow report on one Particular discussiOn which took place at a recent confer- ence .of Lake Huron Zone rec- reation officiale. The two men represented RAP at the ListoWel meeting, and Eiaynham's statement came after they told of hearing many recreation leaders tell of the problems they have with minor coaches and officials who want to win at any cost. Arena manager Alvin Willert agreed with Baynham that none of the local minor officials Were setting bad examples in any Way for their youngsters to follow. It was also agreed at Mon- day's RAP meeting that Exeter does not have many of the prob- lems outlined by several other communities represented at the convention. Farrow told of discussions where representatives reported on having too few facilities for various recreation programs. He said few had Scout houses and swimming pools and many others mentioned having diffi- culty in getting approval from school boards to use school facilities. Members noted none of these problems were inherent in Exeter. "We have more (facilities) here than any other group I was with," Farrow stated. Mayor Simmons reported one of the speakers explained that any sports program was as good—or bad—as its leaders. He said children imitate coaches and other officials, and therefore it was necessary for such adults to be careful in what they do in front of children. He stated that Exeter has a higher recreation budget than the city of Owen Sound.

However, he indicate d there would possibly be more when the season gets into high gear. The Exeter Figure Skating Club has an enrolment of over 50—and it could easily reach 60. Last year there were only 43. They practice each Monday, having the ice for five hours. As arena manager, Willert reported considerable painting and repair work had been com- pleted and askedfor permission to do even more. He said the roof had been repaired. RAP learned that the arena manager and Jim P a i s 1 e y, works superintendent, had made a visit to several area swim- ming pools to determine what procedures they followed in re- gard to winter protection. He reported most drained their pools, and none of the bath houses were heated. Following this report, and a lengthy discussion, members decided no heat was needed in the bath house, and also decided to leave the water in the pool over winter as had previously been Intended. Logs will be placed in the pool to allow the ice to expand without cracking the walls.

He was then apprehended by Constable H a r r y VanBergen, who had been watching the entire incident from the local police station, along with OPP Con- stable Harry Reid. Webber told the court he had fallen asleep. "This looks like a case of careless driving if I ever saw one," Magistrate Hays stated in handing down the sentence. Damage in -the accident amounted to about $1,300. The police reported they saw Web- ber make a U-turn at Cann's Mill and pull away with the motor roaring. Done by 2067? — Continued from front page the dam between it and the bridge over Highway 4. All that is needed is for council (or is it RAP) to detail all the work to be done on one plan—and break it down into approximate costs as to labor and materials—and forward it to the Centennial Projects Com- mittee for approval. It had earlier been suggested this should be done as soon as possible so work could start on the beautification project this spring, as it is hoped the project will be completed in time to present an attractive, completed appearance for 1967. Or is it 2067 they're working towards?

He was sentenced to an On- tario Reformatory. In other court cases: Gary Douglas Beaver, Brant- ford, paid $5.00 and costs of $1.50 for having a "crowded • driver's seat".

Council was also informed that contracts between the OWRC and the landowners whose property the pipeline will cross, are not too satisfactory in that no provisions are made for damages and future prob- lems arising from the digging. It was hinted that some of the promises made to the land- owners are not included in the contracts. The Huron Federa- tion of Agriculture is working in the hopes of getting a fair deal for farmers, who want valuable top-soil stripped be- fore excavation and also hope that the premises will be left in the same condition as found.

The final change in the area communication system is in regard to the book in which all area numbers are listed. The Bell Telephone book has been enlarged to include numbers at Seaforth, Goderich and Clinton, as well as their respective surrounding communities. These places were previously printed in the Stratford area book, as opposed to the London area book in which the Exeter, Hensall and Zurich numbers were printed along with the surroanding areas. Telephone officials from all four companies involved in the gigantic changeover this week- end, have urged subscribers to read carefully all instructions they have received in regard to their new conveniences. Area Bell manager, William Haysom, urged telephone users to check their directory for the nuMbers of friends and business establishments which they call frequently and enter them in their "blue book" of telephone numbers. He concluded by stressing that it would be necessary for telephone users to dial the full seven digits of the listed num- ber to reach telephones in the exchanges added to their local calling areas. The telephone book, which all area residents should coil= suit for numbers after Sunday, also lists the free calling areas Which subscribers in various areas may reach: Ali subseribers have been urged as well to learn the proper Method of contacting their near- est fire department or police forod: The "voice with the Smile" will no longer be on duty to aid thein in emergen- cies—one of the benefits all subscribers will lose through progress.
