The pack, containing smoke bombs, flares, solid fuel con- tainers, matches, and insect repellent cans, blazed up dur- ing the flight within inches of the motor and fuel tank of the helicopter.

After a lengthy debate which resulted in a noisy exchange between Reeve Boyle and Mayor Delbridge, council this week gave a vote of confidence to Exeter's RAP committee re- garding their plan to remove the bandstand from the Com- munity park. The bandstand will be re- moved to make it possible to move the ball diamond around so the grandstand can be used to better advantage for spec- tators at ball games. Councillor Ted Wright told council he had been approached by several persons complain- ing about the decision to remove the bandstand. No other coun- cillors reported hearing any criticism following the an- nouncement of the plan to re- move the facility. Reeve Boyle, a member of RAP, started to explain to Wright and other members why the bandstand was being re- moved. However, his eloquence was sharply interrupted by D e 1- bridge, who suggested, rather brusquely, that the matter did not require a 15-minute exorta- /on by Boyle. After a blistering tirade be- tween the two,Boyle threw up his hands and Delbridge to explain the situation. Both men cooled down and the discussion continued on a more pleasant note. Jack Duffield dies in hospital John Clifford (Jack) Duffield, 58, a resident of the 10th line Blanshard Twp., passed away suddenly in St. Marys Memorial Hospital, Monday June 14. He was a son of the late Al- bert and his wife Maude Ste- phens and was born Sept. 19, 1906 on a farm on the townline of Blanshard and B id du 1p h Twps. For the past 25 years he has lived on the 10th line. He was a member of Whalen United Church. Mr. Duffield is survived by brothers, Bert and Ross, Blan- shard, William of London, two sisters, (Grace) Mrs. Wm. Duf- fy, Hamilton and (Marybelle) Mrs. Andy Langton, London. The funeral was held Thurs- day, conducted by Rev. A. E. Duffield, London and Rev. D. Guest of Whalen. Interment was made in West Zion cemetery. On the basis of information to date, Exeter council indicat- ed. Monday night they would not favor going into county assess- ing. Deputy-Reeve Ralph Bailey, who is chairman of the county equalized assessment commit- tee, broached council on the topic as he pointed out members should give he and Reeve Boyle some guidance on how they wanted them to vote when the issue was brought to the floor of county council. "It will cost quite a bit more money," Bailey explained. He said it had been stated that it would take nine full /memento replace the present 26 muni- cipal assessors. Another member estimated the new assessors would prob- ably have to be paid between $6,000 and $7,000. "What advantages are list- ed?" Councillor Wooden asked, and to this Bailey replied that it would give the county a more equalized assessment. H o w- ever, it was noted they all work on the same standards at pre- sent and the county assessor has the authority to "whip them into line". Bailey said he thought the present system was equitable and even termed it ewonder- ful". Wooden said he could see no reason to change the pre- sent system, but went on to note he would have to study the situation further before formu- lating his final opinion. Other members appeared to be in agreement that the present system was adequate, but Clerk C. V. Pickard reminded them that Exeter has an above aver- age assessor. Wooden replied that this was correct and perhaps county as- sessment would be best for those communities without such a good man. MOVING QUICKLY Various construction jobs in the community were reported moving satisfactorily, with the PUC hoping to have their eight- inch water main to the north end completed by the end of June or the early part of July. It is also expected that the warehouse behind the PUC of- fice will be completed by July 15. The water heater control is also being installed at pre- sent. A communication was re- ceived from the PUC request- ing council to furnish funds to pay for these various projects and the first and second read- ings were given to bylaws call- ing for the issuing of the ap- proved debentures. Work s superintendent Jim Paisley reported work was also progressing on the reconstruc- tion of Anne Street, which will be asphalted from Main to Wil- liam Street. The remainder will receive an armour coat. Council viewed the lists of streets to receive various treatment this summer and ap- proved same. It was reported that River side Construction would probably start their work this week. PAPER BOYS MOVED After a lengthy debate in which Councillor Ross Taylor said they were creating a hard- ship for some boys, council decided to notify various news- paper publishers and abus com- pany that in future they wanted all evening newspapers left at the bus depot. At present the papers are dropped off at the intersection of John and Main Streets, and often results in the lads leav- ing old papers and string in the vicinity. Councillor Wooden reported he had received complaints from some merchants over the situation. It was suggested at first that the papers could be dumped at the town hall as the morning papers are, but it was finally decided to ask them to take them to the bus depot at Wellington St. In other business, council; Approved payment of partial grants to RAP amounting to $2,700. Decided to order two more trash containers to be put on Main Street.
