The garden would include a flagpole, fountain, flower beds, benches and an old cannon. It would be located at the southeast corner of High- ways 21 and 81. Council has received an esti- mated cost of $1,500 for the project. May cover Anne drain if enough cash available Prohlems with the Canadian Canners lagoon, which is pre- sently under study by B. M. Ross, town engineer. Members agreed and the mat- ter was turned over to the drains committee for further study. Gals take to ice lanes A number of girls in the Exeter area have invaded another of man's domains as they have a two- team loop set up every Friday when they don the blades and enjoy some real hockey action. Some of them are shown here in a tense moment in front of one of the nets. --T-A photo APPROVE PROJECT "I move we go ahead with the dam preject," Councillor Mery Cudrnore said after a dis- cussion had been held in re- gard to the proposed rehabili- tation project at the Riverview Park dam. His motion was approved and council will ask the Ausable River Conservation Authority to designate it as a scheme. Cost of repairing the south retaining wall will be $10,000 and another $2,000 will be add- ed to the project in the cost of dredging the reservoir. At least a 50% grant will be received, and it is possible a 75% grant may be approved for the job. Of the cost not covered by grants, the town will pay 90% and the ARCA will cover the remaining 10%. Curling leads change in hectic fight for top Bill Rhode continues to lead the Monday night draw in the Exeter Men's Curling Club sec- ond draw after the third round with 37 points. Rhode's four- some defeated Gord McCarter 14-5 on Monday night to lead runnerup Bev Morgan by one point. Both Morgan and Reg Hod- gert, who holds down third place with 33 points, scored wins last week with Morgan edging Char- lie Smith 9-6 and H odger t squeezing past Ken McLaughlin 10-8. Allan Westcott took over from SEEK START Local subdivider Gib Dow and his solicitor, E. D. Bell, Q.C., appeared before council in re- gard to Dow's proposed 94-lot subdivision to the east of his present one. It was explained that Dow was agreeable to putting in drains and sewers, but at present there were no outlets. Mr. Bell said that if council was unable to provide these things, Dow should be allowed to get ap- proval on the subdivision and have it processed. He explained council would still have control over the sub- division in that they have the power to refuse to issue build- ing permits. Councillor Wooden explained that council planned to instal sewers on Pryde Boulevard this year and that would give Dow an outlet. However, it was noted it was doubtful if a storm drain could be built. Council appeared to be in agreement that proceedings should commence to have the plan approved and Wooden told Dow he considered him a 'cam- mendable subdivider" and hop- ed he wouldn't be held up any longer than necessary. All members of council sup- ported a suggestion Monday that an open section of the Anne Street drain from Huron to An- drew Streets be closed in, but whether or not the project is undertaken may hinge on what cost the town may have to meet in coming up with a solution to the lagoon at Canadian Canners. "These people have suffered long enough with the odor," stated Ross Taylor, himself a resident of the area. "I agree," commentedCoun- cillor Wooden. "Something should be done." With that, works superinten- dent Jim Paisley notified coun- cil he had recently investigated the situation and had come up with an estimate on the job. He said it would cost $6,104 for pipe and another $400 for a catch-basin that would be re- quired where the drain turns off Edward Street. Paisley gave no estimate on construction costs, but noted that the entire project would be eligible for a 50% grant. Reeve Boyle said the work should have been done long ago, but Paisley said the delay may have been beneficial because the grant was only recently made available. Before a definite decision was reached, Clerk C. V. Pickard questioned if any steps should be taken at all until it was known what it may cost to rectify the 11-8 has a total of 34 points. Competition in the Thursday draw is very tight with only five points separating the first four rinks. Glenn Mickle as the Tuesday leader when he outlasted the Mickle rink for a 10-7 win for a total of 34 points. Mickle's loss to Westcott dropped him into fourth place with 28 points while Claude Farrow climbed into second position with an 18-4 pasting of the Sandy Elliot foursome.

CLOSE RACE In Middlesex, Ivan Hearn had a much keener battle before emerging as the new warden. There were five men in the race and it took five ballots to de- cide the winner.

Conventions - Continued from front page deal with appeals on zoning bylaws, and both felt it would be worthwhile as this is a major topic of council at the present. Wooden also volunteered to attend a session in regard to "economic change" to be held in Toronto on February 15 to 17. Mayor Delbridge said he may also go. After all the conventions were discussed, Clerk Pickard noted there was enough going on in February that a member could go to Toronto and stay for the full month. Later in the Monday meeting, council learned there would be a planning workshop for Huron County municipalities in Coder- lob on March 10 and II. No decision was made on attendance, but most felt such a movement in Rural was bene- ficial and it is expected Exeter will be well represented, Pee wees still humbling foes Last week proved to be a successful one for the Exeter pee wees as they notched one Shamrock League victory and picked up three wins in WOAA play. The locals posted their ninth win in Shamrock play last Tues- day night with an easy 8-1 win over Kensall Park. As yet the Exeter crew have not tasted defeat and have won nine and tied one for 19 points and the league lead. They have scored 62 goals and allowed the oppo- sition only 15 scores in ten previous games. Chris Riddell led the locals in Tuesday's game with four goals while linemate John Guen- ther added a pair of tallies and Joe O'Rourke and Larry Davies picked up singles. In WOAA competition the boys posted easy wins over Mitchell, Clinton and Zurich. Larry Haugh and Jim Guen- ther supplied most of the scor- ing power in Saturday's 8-0 victory over Clinton by scoring three goals apiece. Riddell and Scott Parkes added a goal each and John Hayter picked up the shutout. On Monday night Mike Mc- Laughlin stopped every shot that was thrown his way to earn a 10-0 shutout over Zurich. Larry Haugh again led the team with four goals while the re- maining six goals were spread out among Allan McLean, Chris Riddell, Steve Riddell, Pete Glover, Scott parks and Dale Parkins. -' BRIDGE z EUCHRE -ft PARTY EXETER LEGION HALL THUR.
