At the same time membership also voted on a proposed increase in patrons rebate on interest raising the amount fo 10% from previous 5%. These increases have been made possible through the healthy administration of growing assets in the past year. Since credit unions are non-profit organiza- tions all additional earnings are returned to members. Exeter Community Credit Union has shown a remarkable growth during the 13 years it has been in operation. Its assets this year have reached over $350,000 mark doubling since 1962, And the growing process has by no means stopped yet. Charles A. E. White, president of the organization noted, that the an- nual report to the membership was most encouraging and while some mistakes have been made in the past, and probably will also be made in the future, the unselfish efforts by members of the community in working for mutual benefit, deserve the high- est recognition. The Board of Directors re- ported a further expansion of the office facilities and along Winter fun Milder weather has allowed children to have a little more fun in the snow and to build snowmen such as this one. Other projects include igloos and there are at least two of these in town.

Lengthy discussion on recrea- tion in Grand Bend was touched off on Monday evening in the re- surt when village council met with a representative of the Commun- ity Programs Branch of the De- partment of Education. Mr. Miller explained his de- partment had made an advance payment of $350 on 1964 recrea- tion in the village but had re- ceived no application for subsidy on that year's recreational ac- tivities to justify the expendi- tures. He questioned whether the bylaw authorizing the appoint- ment of a seven-mernber recrea- tion committee was Still in force and if the committee was still functioning. He was told that while the by- law was indeed in effect, lack of interest on the part of committee members to supervise the life- guard operation in the resort had created a problem. The original bylaw passed in May 1963, provided for an of- ficially recognized recreation committee to handle all types of recreation including beach ac- tivities in the community. Under the plan, a one-third grant on in- struction and a 25 percent grant on maintenance and operating costs would be made by the De- partment of Education to the vil- lage of Grand Bend. However, after only one year's operation, in 1964 the commit- tee declined to continue as plan- ned and as Miller observed, "threw half the job back at you (council)". Miller suggested that applica- tion for subsidy on the 1964 operation be made at once but added there was no guarantee the Department would honour it at this late date. He advised that if council wished to continue with the plan, a new committee com- prised of community-m n d e d people (not necessarily involved with sports themselves) be ap- pointed to supervise a recrea- tional program in Grand Bend and as "the arm of council" become a liaison between re- creation leaders and council. He stressed the need for wo- men on such a committee. "Us- ually there are 97 things for boys to do and very little for girls to do", he remarked. Due to lack of time and a packed agenda, council held de- cision on the matter until a later meeting, probably tomor- row evening (Friday). 444‘Ne VE‘ et51 LA) rum 0%) flOk kAtt'4" ItAtglA kkJ 44405 *1* 41k' %%p L140 i.N‘ Library Assoc. is dissolved Kirkton Library Association has been dissolved and taken over by the County Public L ibrary Board as the result of a reso- lution passed by USborne council at their regular meeting this month.

Hugh Hustin of Glen- coe was fined an additional $15 for failing to produce a driver's licence. The accused had two pre- vious convictions of d r ink in g under age. Constable McNall told the court the accused was involved in an accident and had no driver's lic- ence. He had been drinking when the accident occurred. Magistrate Hays warned the youth he has a long way to go before he is 21 and added he would have to learn to live with Ontario's liquor laws. A charge of having liquor in his possession was dismissed against Ronald Beaton of Hen- sall. Constable H. Van Bergen seized a bottle of liquor from a car on Main Street December 24. Evidence showed there had been no drinking involved and the seal on the bottle had not been broken. Mr. Beaton testified the liquor was a Christmas present for his father for Christmas and there had been no intention of opening the bottle. It was revealed that a second bottle had been pur- chased and left at his girl friend's house. In dismissing the case Magis- trate Hays said, "I will give you the benefit of the doubt —I hope you have told the truth, otherwise you have paid too highly for acquittal".
