fined $35 and costs of $18 and
his driving privileges were sus-

Reason for the delay in get-

the incident.

Credit Union has a picnic
About 60 people, making up an unknown number of families, sat down to a picnic dinner at River-

May fight HS money
battle all over again
Recently named S ol icito r-
General in the Pearson Cabinet,
Hon. Larry Pennell will make
his first visit to the area when
he will be guest of honor at
the third annual Huron Liberal
picnic.
9 t
Sponsored by the Huron Lib-
eral Association, the picnic is
being held at the Seaforth Lions
Park, Thursday afternoon, July
2
Other guests at the picnic
will be Gordon Blair, Ottawa,
president of the Ontario Lib-
eral Association, and Bruce
McCullough, president of the
Western Ontario North Liberal
Association,
A special treat for the kids
and adults, too, will be the op-
portunity to meet and chat with
Larry Jeffery, of Goderich,
former Detroit Red Wing hockey
star, and now with the Toronto
Maple Leafs.
The picnic will feature a full
program of children's sports.
for early August and It was
possible that further changes
in the plans may push the cost
even higher.
Councillor Joe Wooden, who
is vice-principal atSHDHS
predicted that any changes made
at this time would not be signifi-
cant.
It was indicated that the OMB
would be asked if the board re-
quires approval for the $417,000
debenture. Their answer will
probably be relayed to the board
for their special meeting.
SHDHS board members, many
of whom tackled the job of gett-
ing their municipality's appro-
val on the new addition with
some trepidation, may have to
fight the same old battle all over
again.
At least that was the thought
presented Monday by Exeter
clerk C. V. Pickard after a
letter was received from the
Ontario Municipal Board ex-
plaining that while the area
municipalities supporting
SHDHS had approved a$400,000
debenture, the actual debenture
needed was some $464,510.
The OMB told Exeter coun-
cil that all the municipalities
would have to approve of the
larger amount in writing before
approval could be given.
However, the situation isn't
as bad as it may sound, in fact
it could be termed more of a
Cowen saves
girl at GB CU picnic
a success
"nuisance" than anything.
Mr. Pickard stated that in
consultation with SHAHS busi-
ness administrator E. D, Howey
he had learned that the amount
of the debenture was only
$417,000.
The difference in this amount
and the one cited by the OMB
is the forgiveness on the loans
which will be received by the
board from the Municipal Works
Assistance Program.
',It's ($17,000) not very much
when it's divided among all the
municipalities," Mr. Pickard
stated, adding that the board
would hope they wouldn't have
to go back for another appro-
val.
However, he said the OMB
"probably will insist on it."
The local cerk also noted
that a meeting of the board
and the architect was planned

the first annual Exeter Credit

Sunday. Herb Broom was con-

commemorating the Exeter pio-
neers, it was "valid".
While some members of coun-
cil indicated they also liked
the name, Pooley said he would-
n't want to see it changed, at
least without the sanction of
other members of the commit-
tee.
He said the present name was
not colourless and was much
shorter than McCauley's pro-
posal.
Councillor Barrett noted the
name could be changed later if
they wished and the matter was
dropped, with approval being
given under the present name.
After the report and the com-
mend at ion of the committee
were carried unanimously, coun-
cil also agreed to thank RCAF
Centralia for the aerial photos
of the park supplied to the com-
mittee and also to Mrs. C.
Hume, who prepared the report.

Dr. Harvey Cowen, Exeter
and his sailboat figured in the
rescue of a Stratford swimmer
at Grand Bend's harbor Sun-
day.
Despite red flags warning
rough water, Carol Schotzhauer
18, went swimming with a boy
north of the harbor pier. Caught
in the undertow she was swept
out into the lake at the mouth of
the river.
Leonard Rau, operator of the
pier booth, saw her difficulty
and called to Dr. Cowen to go
to her assistance. Meanwhile an
unidentified youth dived off the
pier and swam to her rescue.
Dr. Cowen, who had to sail
the craft alone, with two small
children was able to manoeuvre
his craft to the two swimmers
until they could grab the side.
He then let the sailboat drift
into the south shore until it was
grounded.
The youth told Dr. Cowen he
was exhausted, but shortly after
walked away without giving his
identity.
Carol was able to make her
own way to shore, but was later
taken to South Huron Hospital
by Hoffman's Ambulance, Grand
Bend.
Hospital officials kept Carol
for several hours for observa-
tion and later sent her home.
The rescue was made in high
waves which later hampered
two boaters who tried to free
Dr. Cowen's grounded sailboat.

items in the project include the
restoration of the former town
gates, which will be located at
the park entrance near the High-
way 4 bridge, along with a pro-
ject for the parcel of land
south of the entrance which will
include horticultural tree and
flower plantings and a senior
citizens lounge area.
As 1967 approaches, the Cen-
tennial Committee will be ar-
ranging a continuous monthly
series of festivities, for per-
formance in the park, with local
interest groups as the respon-
sible organizers.
It is also expected that by
this fall, service club and citi-
zen volunteers will likely orga-
nize work parties, to pick stones
and plant trees in addition to
whatever brushing, g rubb ing
and general cleanup is required.
NAME CHANGE
Although it came as a sur-
prise to members of the Cen-
tennial Committee, a change in
name was written into the re-
port. It showed that the area
being beautified was known as
the "Riverview Pioneer Valley-
lands."
Davis told council that the
title had been suggested by Mc-
Cauley and had not been approv-
ed by the committee.
In a letter to council explain-
ing the name change, McCauley
said he "couldn't resist" chan-
ging the ',rather colourless,'
name of Riverview Park.
Wooden said he was rather
taken by the name, noting that

Information was received
from the department of muni-

maintained by the corporation
may now be destroyed, although
the letter noted that many of
the records did have some his-
torical value and those prior to
1870 were desired for use in
the Ontario archives.
Clerk C. V. Pickard report-
ed Exeter's earliest records
date back to 1873, the year the
village was incorporated, and
he said some of these could
now be destroyed if council so
wishes.
Councillor Joe Wooden sug-
gested that the records be kept
until they can be studied. He
also said they may be of some
value to the Huron County His-
torical Association.

them, but only cards listing
the names of the well-known
magazines for which they were
attempting to get orders.
Another witness, Mrs. Pat-
ricia Kyle, stated that a sales-
man had come to her door with
a card listing the magazines and
after she had picked out those
she wished to order, was told
another salesman would be
around later to confirm the sale.
Mrs. Kyle was asked to sign
her name to an agreement to
take the magazines for 48
months, but she refused.
The defense pointed out that
the Salesmen actually did not
have the goods with them, and
thus their actions did not con-
stitute a sale.
P. L. Raymond, acting for the
village of Hensall, Contended
that a signed contract is as
good as a sale, especially when
the Magazines were well-known
publications.
In dismissing the charge, Ma-
gistrate Pearson ruled that it
had riot been proven that the
cards in the possession of the
salesmen Were actually the
same as goods.
