Mrs. Cliff Barkley asked, if he would be doing night work With the new addition, and he said that this was not his plan unless he had an emergency job that someone needed, On another questien, she was Wormed by Councillor Joe Wooden that this would in no way affect the present zoning reguletions of the area and it would not be possible for an- other light industry to start operatioes there. Pym, who pointed out he was primarily concerned about what the shop may be in the future, was told that nothing but a welding business could be car- ried on there. He also asked what would happen if a similar request came aleng from some other person wishing to expand a non-conforming use in the area. After implying that council may- approve further requests if the applicant had some "pull" Councillor Joe Wooden retorted that he resented the implication of the suggestion as a member of council. "Requests would be treated on their individual merits", he replied. Pym said council would have no control over any future owner of the welding shop running it roughly, even though MacGre- gor was "keeping it tidy now". The Council chambers were jammed to capacity, Tuesday, as several property owners in the vicinity of Don Mecgregor's welding shop accepted council's invitation to discuss his pre-, posed addition to the non-Con- forming use building. Results of the meeting were rather difficult tq determine due to the fact many of those involved have changed their minds on the subject. Many of the residents of the area signed a petition circula- ted by Alvin Pym, requesting council not to amend the zoning bylaw es they felt it would be "undesirable" to them and could lessen their property val- ues. However, MacGregor also presented a. petition showing that many in the area were in favor of the proposed addition. Oddly enough, the names of some people appeared on, both petitions, although it appeared to end up with a total of four "net" objectors. And council, who had given tentative approval some time ago, also experienced a change of mind on the issue, and while they did pass a motion to pro- ceed with the preparation of an amending bylaw, they stipulated that MacGregor would have to submit final plans showing the intended location and size of the building before they would have the bylaw prepared. And this in itself may be more difficult than what may be expected as MacGregor ap- pears to have changed his mind slightly on where he will put the addition, due to the fact some of the neighbors have suggested he put it on the east side of the welding shop rather than to the north as he had originally planned.

JOE WOODEN I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who supported me at the polls in Exeter, Monday. A special thanks to all those who worked on my behalf. Thank You A case that took over seveu menthe to get to court due to injuries sustained by key wit- neeses, took about five hours to ,get out of court in Exeter, Tuesday. When the lengthy case was finally concluded, Wiagistrate Glenn Hays, QC, dismissed a charge of dangerous driving against Earl KnoblauGh, RCAF Centralia. Knoblauoh had been involved in an accident with Richard. O'Rourke, 18, on April 24 in Stephen Township. O'Reurke suffered cuts, shock, two broken ankles and broken ribs. Knob leech was in hospital for six months recuperating from his injuries. The accident occurred about two and a half miles west of C r editon. O'Rourke told the court the accident happened at about 11:15 p.m. and he had been driving home from the house of his brother-in-law when he became involved in the crash. He said the other car was over the centre line on his side of the road. He attempted to turn out of its path, but "seemed to freeze" and couldn't. OPP Cpl. George Mitchell, now stationed in Kitchener, was the investigating officer and said he arrived at the scene to find O'Rourke behind the wheel in his car, while Knob- leech was laying on the pave- ment. Although he admitted to hav- ing had between four and five ounces of alcohol with his sup- per that night, the accused said they had r effect on him. He said he r ; rnbered very little about the crash and was surprised to receive a sum- mons, as the thought had never occurred to him that be may have been in the wrong. James Caskey, London, re- presenting the accused, said the Impact would indicate that O'Rourke was driving close to the centre line and went on to say there must be a disregard on the part of the accused to constitute the offense of danger- CONFUSED MacGregor told council he believed some of his neighbors had been misinformed as to his intentions when they s i g n e d Pym's petition. He reported the addit ion would give him more working space and would permit him to store more of his materials inside rather than out in the yard.

He said rumors regarding the situation warranted looking into. THANK YOU Voters of Exeter I shalt endeavor to act in the best interests of the community. By MRS.

Grand Bend poll —Continued from front page signed from the Forest District High School Board after one year's service, due to the long distance involved in driving to Forest. Several letters were read, indicating that the Forest Board IS still requesting additional money from municipalities based on a second budget they brought down late in the year; the news that the town of Forest is refusing to pay this extra amount; (Grand Bend also has refused so far to pay the extra levy); and word of a change In construction plans at the school which will change the use of the addition into limited vo- cational classes, but is not expected to increase the cost to the municipalities. The objection to co-operation With the Forest board is based on the thought that it is unneces- sary for the board to build up a surplus of $60,000.
