He then went to a Hensel' service station to seek a tow truck and the operator of that garage phoned Roy Campbell, who had gone home after getting medical attention for his son. Centralia ladies open with spiel The RCAF Centralia Ladies' Curling Club opened the second half of their league schedule with a one-day bonspiel re- cently. Jewel Farrell skipped her rink to the top spot in the "A" event, winning all three games. Other members of her rink were Ellen Franklin, Marlene Com- rie and Helen Sickly. The runner-up position fell to Skip Muriel Courtney and her team of Peggy Setter, Marion Tesky and Shirley Lamond. In the "B" event, Gloria McLaren and her rink walked Off with the honors. Other mem- bers of her team were Joey Fairley, Marie Paxton and Joan Squires. They defeated the Grace Skin- ner rink in the final, and that rink was made up of Rita For- , tier, Fran Slater and Mang Helm. would not accept any more, but When you see something you will never find again, it is hard to walk away from it. We have re- ceived 1,800 exhibits in the past two years, donated or purchased with Mr. Neill's money. "I am after an extension to the museum. We need it badly. You are building not for today but for 50 or 100 years, and to serve the children in the edu- cational field. Don't wait until next year; do it now." Mr. Chisholm, questioned as to probable cost, said that while it was hard to estimate labor cost, the building might run to $12,000, or in the case of skele- ton building, unfinished inside upstairs, perhaps $10,000. There were 21,692 visitors in 1984, and the museum now holds 7,000 exhibits. Visitors have come from towns over most of Ontario, and such places as Flint, Michigan, which sent a high school group. by being stuck and not able to get away. curious as to who had been hit or if he maybe even had been killed. "No," replied the youth. Mr. Hays stated his greatest concern and shock was that not one of the three youths inquired about the one who had been hit. He stated such "calloue be- haviour" did not tie in with the argument by Regnier's lawyer that the youth had not been attempting to escape liability in the incident. He noted as well that Regnier had lied about who was driving the car when first asked and that he at no time offered any infor- mation to Mr. Campbell, even after learning on the trip to his own car later that Campbell's son had been hit. The magistrate felt that Reg- nier would not have told anyone if he hadn't been forced into it Campbell had call e d OPP Constable John Wright in the meantime and he arrived at the Hensall service station as Campbell was sitting in, the truck with Regnier and one of his two passengers. They all proceeded to the Place where Regnier's car was in the ditch. Regnier returned to Hensall in the police cruiser and evi- dence given revealed that at this time he admitted to the officer he had been driving the car and had hit someone on the road. Two other youths who had been riding with Regnier testi- fied they thought they had hit someone, but both reported they did not inquire about this when they walked back to the Riehl car. Magistrate Hays asked one of them if he were not even GODERICH No early action is indicated in regard to regional jails, Hur- on county council was told Wed- nesday by Reeve A. D. Smith of Turnberry, chairman of the property committee. "In the other counties nothing seems to have jelled," he said, "and they are not in a position to say what they would like to do. We have not been able to get any place in regard to regional jails, and having put in new heating in our own jail we are in a fairly good position, and people are comfortable in the building. More will be heard about it, no doubt, because I read in the press this week this is being discussed in other counties," The report presented by Mr. Smith as chairman mentioned an "interesting discussion" with representatives from Perth, leading to abetter under- standing of the problem. "We feel we have gone about as far as we can at the moment in this particular pursuit," the report stated; "therefore we plan to carry cn with our pre- sent jail and to maintain the premises to the best of our ability." Jail Governor R. W. Bell presented at the same session a statistical report for 1964. There were 254 prisoners at one time or another in the 124- year-old building, of whom only three were females. Pre sent jail population is three. Offences directly related to liquor totalled 123, almost ex- actly half the total. One person landed in jail as result of "un- necessary noise," and one was held for immigration authori- ties. Cost of daily rations was announced as 51.59 cents per prisoner. • *P.

T-A photo Pick RAP executive NEED SPACE The property report's only mention of Huron County Pio- neer Museum was in regard to James Chisholm taking over from Mr. Neill as curator of what Reeve Smith described as "one of the finest museums, and one of the largest, in On- tario." The curator, however, under- lined an appeal made last year for construction of a museum extension 60 by 80 feet. "We are crowded to the doors," Mr. Chisholm said. "There are lots of big exhibits to get. At last meeting I said I 91 A 19-year-old London youth, Frederick Noel Regnier, was fined $175 and court costs of $35.50 or 30 days in jail when he appeared before Magistrate Glenn Hays, in Exeter court, Tuesday, and was found guilty of leaving the scene of an accident. The youth was also prohibited from driving for nine months. Other charges of careless driv- ing and driving while under suspension were withdrawn. Regnier was charged follow- ing an accident on Highway 4 north of Hensall on November 21 when his car struck a 17- year-old Hensall youth, Eric Campbell. Campbell suffered a badly bruised hip when knocked down by the London car and was hospitalized for five days from the injury. Regnier was apprehended lat- er in the evening when his car ran into the ditch ironically it was Roy Campbell, father of the injured lad, who was called to tow the car. Mr. Hays expressed his "ut- ter shock" at the "irrespon- sibility" of the London youth, but noted that "anything I would say to you wouldn't do you any good anyway", as he gave the youth only a brief verbal chas- tisement. Evidence revealed that Campbell and his father had been pulling cars out of the ditch on the stormy night and they had come upon a car driven by Ronald Riehl, London, which was stuck in the ditch. The younger Campbell got out of the tow truck to ascertain if he and his father could be of any assistance and Riehl re- ported his wife had gone to call a tow truck and asked Campbell to wait until she returned. After she had returned, Campbell and the couple were standing near their car when a northbound car suddenly came upon them and struck Campbell. The car did not stop. Wondering about the delay, Roy Campbell then went to see what was detaining his son, and was approaching the Riehl car when he saw his son being car- ried back towards the truck by another motorist who had come upon the scene. —Continued from front page the point where it would be as popular as the minor hockey program. He concluded his thoughts by stating his suggestion had been greeted with f a v o r ab 1 e support from several members of town council with whom he had talked. Boyle said he might go for hardball lights, but not softball. However, he concluded this by saying that hardball is a "dead do-do". Rabies show Few accidents despite weather Despite the stormy weather over the past week and the hazardous driving conditions, the Exeter OPP detachment in- vestigated only six accidents and all but one of those were listed as non-reportable with damage amounting to less than $100. The only serious crash of the week was investigated Wed- nesday morning by Cpl. C. J. Mitchell. It involved a pickup truck driven by Andrew Hummel, RR 1 Zurich, and a car driven by Charles Stephenson, RR 1 Var- na. The accident happened on the seventh concession of Hay Township, about one mile north of Highway 84. Hummel was proceeding out his laneway with his two child- ren in the truck, and told the officer' he stopped to determine if there was any oncoming traf- fic before pulling out onto the road. we v e r, Stephenson was Ho proceeding south at the time and in an effort to avoid a crash, swerved to one side, but the rear of his car spun into the side of the truck. Cpl. Mitchell reported visi- bility was very low at the time. Total damage was estimated at $250. There were no injuries. Stephen votes —Continued from front page while Goderich split. The re- maining votes in favor were from northern reeves. Deputy-Reeve Bailey ex- pressed disappointment at the outcome of the vote. At present there are 226 pa- tients at Huronview with a capa- city for 235. Last year 105 patients paid their way. Clerk-treasurer John G. Berry said as more applications come in, the need for more accommodation is apparent. In the past two years, there have been 68 applications re- ceived in each for admittance to Huronview. WASN'T CONCERNED In the stand, Regnier testified he wasn't sure he had hit any- thing at the scene, although reported his car swerved and finally ended up in the ditch some 500' away from the Riehl car. Due to the poor visibility the witnesses at the scene did not see him run into the ditch. questioned if it wouldn't also be successful on Saturday. Other members less removed from their youthful days pointed out Friday was "the night" for teenagers to get out, and Bill Tuckey recommended that their night he left as is. • With that, Baynham presented a recommendation that RAP consider splitting the gymna- sium into two levels by building another hall over the present one. He said the estimated cost of such a scheme would be around $10,000. Baynham told RAP that the upstairs room could be heated more easily and could be made available for other groups. "It would be going every night of the week," he suggested. Farrow reminded the mem- bers that there was still a$6,700 debenture to pay on the arena this year and next and aproject of this nature would have to be done through the issuing of further debentures. SPLIT LEVEL Later in the meeting, Boyle questioned the possibility of having Teen Town on Saturday nights so the gymnasium would be free for hockey patrons on Friday. He said severalpotential fans were staying home because they could not get into the hall to get warmed up between periods. He explained he in no way wanted to shift Teen Town if it would be detrimental, but big decrease County roads costing more GODERICH A tax rate for road purposes of 8.75 mills, three-quarters of a mill higher than last year, was approved by Huron County Council last week. Reeve Joseph Kerr, of Wing- ham, chairman of the 1964 road committee, said the increase is necessary because the rising costs of labor, materials and other services has exceeded revenue. He said the 1964 cost of winter control, line painting, signs, weed spraying, mainte- nance and gravel are far higher than five or six years ago. A county roads study under- way in Huron is well advanced, Reeve Kerr told council. The study by McCormick and Rankin Limited, consulting en- gineers, is to estimate future construction, maintenance, and operating needs and to deter- mine population and assessment trends. A report is expected at the council's March session. Huron County has the second largest road system inOntario. The county has 390 miles of road, of which 210 are gravel roads. Major projects for 1965 will include: Road 13, west from Clinton, land fence, 12 miles; Road 16 Brussels to Highway 4, surfacing, 7 1/2 miles; Don- nybrook Bridge, Road 20, five reinforced concrete culverts. The county expects a$1,500,- 000 expenditure on roads and bridges this year. County Engineer 3. W. Brit- nell said a request to have Roads 3 and 12 from Hayfield through Brucefield, Egmond- vile, and north to Highway 8 in Seaforth designated as a de- velopment road has been made to the Ontario minister of high- ways. Expenditures in 1964 were: Road construction, $381,215.96; road maintenance, $439,631.73; construction of bridges and cul- verts, $185,191. Total expendi- tures for roads and bridges, $1,557,184.

Total damage was estimated at $85. No Hidden Charges, No Gimmics, No Obligations GODERICH "Thanks to Salk vaccine — 1964 was the seventh consec- utive polio-free year for Hur- on", Dr. R. M. Aldis, MOH, reported to county council at the January session. It is hoped that the health unit may soon be able to add the new Sabin (oral- type) vaccine to its armament against poliomyelitis. "Last year", the report stat- ed, "marked an increase in the incidence of hepetitis here, with 47 cases reported as against 12 in 1963. There was one death from this cause in 1964. The situation was the reverse of the national experience, which showed hepetitis on the decline. "Now endemic in the county, animal rabies has been report- ed at rates varying from 33 to 125 cases per year for the pre- ceding six years. Last year was the lowest on record, with 33 cases as against 68 in 1963". "Only 28 exposed humans re- quired the 14- day vaccine treat- ment, compared with 74 in 1962." A breakdown of the statistics regarding animals found to be rabid showed 1964 as "the year of the skunk." These numbered 12, foxes nine, swine eight, steers three, and one dog. The numbers checked at last summer's county-wide T.B. Survey showed a slight decline from 1960, at 23,337. At the five monthly chest clinks, 134 residents who have various in- active forms of tuberculosis are followed regularly.
