Times-Advocate, June 17, 1965 Page 14 Mourn death of RAP seeks cash, start park project oodham native The religious group refused use of the town hall by Exeter council last week has rented the arena for their one night meet- ing arena manager Alvin Willert told RAP Monday. Willert reported the group would be charged the regular $15 for use of the gymnasium on the understanding that if they wanted more chairs they would have to arrange for them on their own. Council turned down the re- quest for use of the town hall after members suggested the public building should not be used by religious groups.

And I haven't many illusions. I am not "dedicated." I don't go around talking about the joy of "seeing young minds flower." Heck, anything will flower if you throw enough fer- tilizer around. But there's a special satis- faction in teaching teenagers, even though it's tougher than working in a salt mine. There is a sense of reality that I don't think I could find in another profession. You are not dealing withtorts and trials, like the lawyer; not symptoms and cures, like the doctor; nor surveys and stress- es, like the engineer; nor goods and services, like the business- man. You are dealing in raw humanity, when you tangle with teenagers. Sorry for being sentimental this week. But today my home form gave me my present for the year, half-a-dollar a whack, and I'm still a bit misty-eyed. It's a desk set with two pens, my name inscribed, and a ther- mometer in it that doesn't work. That's better than last year when I got a shirt that didn't fit and the year before, when I got talcum powder, shaving lotion and other assorted male stin- kum that I never use. marks 96th birthda By MRS.

VACATION Board learns fund available Members of the SHDHS board were assured in Toronto Fri- day that $87,699 has definitely been set aside for them under the Municipal Loan Assistance Program and another $100,000 is still possible. They received this informa- tion from Mr. McLeod at the department of municipal af- fairs. Members of the board who travelled to Toronto to get a hearing as to their standing in the m at t e r were Rev. John Boyne, Garnet Hicks, Iry Arm- Strong and John Morrissey.. Business administrator E, D. Howey accompanied the memb- ers. Under the terms of the loan program, 25% of the loan is forgiven. This would amount to a saving of $21,925 for area ratepayers on the sm all e r amount already assured and an additional $25,000 if the $100,- 000 is attained. The loan is also made on lower interest rates than nor- mal. Some have been attained at an interest rate of slightly over 5% in the past, although they do fluctuate. Next step in the plans for the $1,687,041 vocational ad- dition is to seek approval from the Ontario Municipal Board. This is expected to be only a formality, but had not been done because Stephen Town- ship and the Village of Hen- sall have as yet to forward written approval of the ad- dition to the board. Both have passed motions okaying their share of the $400,000 deben- ture issue. The Town of Exeter will have to apply to the OMB for per- mission to issue the debentures. sermon "Jesus Said Follow Me", The children's choir under the leadership of Mrs. Ray Cann, Mrs. Floyd Stewart and Miss Doris Elford sang three numbers.

DOREEN'S BEAUTY NOOKE Crediton Conduct farewell June 26 to July 9 hall was refused after a 4-4 split was broken by Mayor Jack Deibridge. Willert advised RAP at their meeting that part of the grants should be secured from council as soon as possible as funds were being depleted in all phases of RAP'S administra- tion. A $1,000 grant for the com- munity centres will be requir- ed, along with a $700 grant for the swimming pool and the sec- ond quarter of the recreation budget. Reeve Boyle was asked to ap- proach council for the money. Approval was given by RAP to the "first stage" of the planned alterations in sport- ing facilities at the Community Park. The overall plan calls for the erection of flood-lights at the main diamond, which will be shifted so it will be directly in front of the grandstand. Monday night RAP authorized the spending of an estimated $125 to have the cement band- stand removed from beside the diamond and to have the dia- mond altered.
