The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1966-02-10, Page 5OPEN NITES TIL 9 except Saturdays At 12 pm and 5 pm, it is a wonder there hasn't been a child killed; indeed it's a wonder there haven't been more accidents here than there have been. If you don't want to take my word for it, come up yourself and sit in this office for a day, and watch this corner. As far as I'm concerned, this is Man- slaughter Corner, and not Main and Wellington. Kindly look into this problem before something serious takes place at this corner. If Wedge's Moving Vans block this side of the street, the police are here right away, but when the corner at the store mentioned is blocked, no one complains. Why is it that one person is favored, and not the other? I presume we pay the same Business Taxes that anyone else in town does, Yours truly, Mrs. Gloria O'Dell Dear Sir: I was very disappointed last week to find no mention in The Times-Advocate of the "whole- sale suspension" of students at the local high school on Tues- day, Feb. 1, apparently this was a direct result of the blizzard which paralized the district on the previous day. I have been informed that ''most" of these students were finally allowed into class about three p.m. — just be- fore classes ended for the day. As I Underatand it, the grant, which we are hearing so much about this year, it paid on the basis of the average number of students that attend classes. Be- cause of the suspensions (as many as eight from one Class) Tuet- day's attendance at classes would be drastically reduced. This may in turn have an adverse effect on the total grant which will be paid here. Most of the grant losa ins curved Mon. was unavoidable, but 11 the grant Is not paid for All Steaks n or Roasts ibor Schneiders Asstd.

Dancing was enjoyed with music provided by Rowe's orchestra from Kirkton. In the draw which took place the winners were: patio set, Dean Aldwinkle, Varna; transistor ra- dio, Brad Sangster, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Sangster; flight bag, John Anderson; leather kit bag, Mrs. Alex McMurtrie, Kip- pen. A smorgasbord lunch was served. Another social is plan- ned for the near future, when trophies will be awarded. He takes his duties and respon- sibilities as a businessman quite seriously. "You can't trifle with people in a small town. They expect an honest and sincere service and if you don't live up to their expectations you will feel it right away." He purchased a general insur- ance business from Fred Bon, thron in 1958 and later also that of James Paterson. Mrs. Ivan Kipfer helps at the store, Mrs. Joynt, the former Audrey Russell, also actively participates in the business. They were married in 1948 and have two boys, John 14 and Pat, 9. During the years Don has noted a considerable change in buying habits. People have become more discriminating, they shop around more where formerly they came to the store just to buy. The trend is also for quality merchandize and people don't mind paying more to get it. In the older days a store had its own customers. Today you get people you have never seen before," he said. Sitting in his office at a rolled- top desk, used by his dad and now attracting some antique hunters, Don mused on the quality of stores in Hensall. He thinks their growth and stability can be explained with the one-store setup that is ade- quate for a village of this size. The stores are able to maintain greater stock and thus provide a better service, in his explan- ation. Donald is an elder of the Uni- ted Church in Hensall, has been chairman on the parks board and recreation commission and is a member on the South Huron Dis- trict High School Board in Exe- ter. While the over-organized age has forced him to drop some activities he still greatly enjoys golfing. His brother Dr. Carey B. Joynt is Head of International Relations Department, Lehigh University, Pa., and when they both get together, conversation centers on the national charac- teristics of both neighboring countries and their future. And the spirit of the Joynt Senior seems to linger within the store as his son upholds a quiet battle for national econ- omy. Both Don and Mrs. Joynt are proud that their store features mostly Canadian-made merchan- dise. Lynne Dodds, little daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Don Dodds of Sea- forth, who has spent the past three weeks with her grandpar- ents, Mr. & Mrs. Sim Roobol, returned home Sunday. Miss Troyann Bell was suc- cessful in passing a preliminary dance "The Canasta" Sunday at St. Thomas. Mrs. Stewart Bell while getting out of her car in Hensall fell on the ice, X-rays taken at Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth, re- vealed torn ligaments, in her right leg which was placed in a cast. Mr. & Mrs. Earl Campbell, accompanied by their son and daughter-In-law, Mr. & Mrs. Roy Campbell, left Thursday by car for California where they will vacation for the month of Feb- ruary and also visit relatives. Mrs. Stewart Bell, Pauline and Troyann were snowbound in St. Thomas until Tuesday morning of last week. Mr. & Mrs. Earl Soldan left this week on a motor trip to California and Mexico. Mr. & Mrs. Lorne Chapman returned home after visiting with their sons-in-law and daughters, Mr. & Mrs. Joe DeLoge in Puerto Rico and also with Mr. & Mrs. Don MacLaren in Oakville. Mr. & Mrs. Gerry Chapman of St. Marys, Mr. Craig Chapman, Robert Kirby who in turn sold it to Jack Tudor. The nucleus of the store how- ever remained as it is known to- day, managed by his son Donald, 40. While born and raised here Donald did not quite anticipate his future in business. He was attending the University of Wes- tern Ontario in London in his second year of studies when his father suddenly took ill during the summer of 1945. lie died five years later. Donald who took over in the emergency never went back again. While on occasions he has looked back at his interrupted education with mixed feelings, he feels at home in his surroundings. "When you live in a small town, you experience a closer kinship with people. You share their joys and sorrows, make closer friends and feel more fulfilled". UCW starts quilting bee Thursday afternoon Unit 4 UCW met in the Friendship Hall of the United Church with twenty nine present. Mrs. James McAllister opened the meeting and Mrs. R. McAllister gave the devotionalon The Good Samaritan. The topic was given by Mrs. E. Chipchase was most interesting on ((Thoughts from St. Paul's letter on "Charity". She said "Believe in the best and you will help to bring it into being. Half the trouble in the world is caused by people who never grow up and develop; spiritually they remain children, mentally and emotional immature, and they go through life suffering from arrested de- velopment of character. Chris- tian love has a refining influence upon the whole personality." The annual quilting bee com- menced Monday, February '7 at 1 pm and will continue until quota is completed with pot luck din- ners and afternoon teas. The World Day of Prayer will be held in this church Friday, February 25 at 3 pm with a union service. Next general meeting will be held Monday evening February 28. This unit will cater to a din- ner for Sunday School superin- tendents of Huron County and their wives Tuesday, March 1, 6:30 pm. Mrs. W. H. Weekes conducted a contest and all en- joyed a social time. The First World War is parr tially responsible for the exis- tence of a store in Hensall. And it just turned a leaf on a half century last month. When Thomas C. Joynt came out from B.C. to this province in 1915 the idea of a store was not even in his mind. He had come to fulfill his duty as a citizen and he had offered hime self for active duty in the army. He was turned down. Not to entirely waste the trip he came to Hensel' to visit his uncle. And be bought out the bus- iness handling men's wear and shoes. He added a ladies wear and grocery store and later sold the grocery store tollermanDayman and the ladies' wear store to Busy meet for Hensall council Hensall Council met in session Tuesday evening February 1, with Reeve Minnie Noakes and coun- cillors John Baker, Harold Knight, Jack Lavender and Oliver Jaques present. The council from Usborne Township were present regard- ing a new agreement concerning the use of the dump. This matter to be decided at a later meeting. Clerk Earl Campbell was in- structed to prepare a new by-law for the Centennial project which is to be a picnic pavilion in the Park estimated cost $3,000. Reeve Minnie Noakes was ap- pointed Deputy Clerk for the month of February. Building per- mits were passed for William Clement to build an addition to his implement building, and Charles Eckel to do renovations to his home. The matter of keep- ing horses in the Village was discussed and council instructed E. R. Davis to notify owners of the by-law whereby persons are only allowed to keep one horse to a half acre of property. Local man 99 Monday Mr. J. T. Mitchell celebrated his 99th birthday on Monday, February 7 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jarvis Horton. A family dinner marked the oc- casion. Mr. Mitchell was the recipient of many congratulatory messages and gifts. — Continued from page 4 tion I derived from your editorial when I read it on Feb. 4, in find- ing almost identical views to those I had expressed in my letter to the Minister. As a matter of fact, if he has read your editorial, I suspect that he will think we had our heads together, which we both know is not the case. Yours very truly, Fred L. Brown Editor, Dear Ken: Congratulations on receiving the Award for General Excel- lence for weekly newspapers in communities under 3500 popu- lation. Best wishes for your future success. Sincerely, R. E. McKinley, M.P, Dear Sir: I am writing to you to request that something be done about the parking conditions on the North- east corner of Main and Welling- ton Streets, Exeter, Ontario, be- fore someone gets killed. ThIS corner is blocked with ears, and trucks of various kinds, from early morning, until late at night, by people patronizing the corner store, known as Betty'S Market, and the KB Dairy Bar, operated by Mr. Xen Inch. I work at Wedge Moving Company, and See it every day, On Saturday, January 29, 1966, I crossed the highway at this corner, after stopping and look* ing both ways, and was hit by another car, proceeding south on Number 4 Highway, for the Simple reason that one could not see what was coming down the highway, because of the Vehicles parked on this corner. Unless there are stop lights, or No Parking signs put up, and with strict enforternent, there Will be a death on this corner. those students who spent Tues- day sitting in the school hall there is only one person on whose shoulders the entire blame must rest. Even the rural students who missed school Monday because of blocked roads were forced to miss one or more classes Tues- day while they waited in line for the principal's permission ('to be admitted" to class. Thus they not only missed school Monday but part of Tuesday as well. The principal's motto would seem to be ',Send them to school — dead or alive we need the grant". There are some things more important to me than money — one is the safety and welfare of my family. I feel that We as par- ents Must maintain some powers where the safety of our children is concerned, we should have the right to keep them home when we feel It is not safe for them to attend school. Furthermore the students should not be penalized as a result of a decision made by their parents. This grant is no doubt import- ant to our local high school, but it is not a gift — it comes from taxpayers and we pay it all -- Whether it appears to come front local, provincial or federal sour-, des, A CONCERNED MOTHER (Editor's note: We doubt very much whether the students who were sent home will Affect the attendance for grant purposes as Mentioned in the first portion of your letter. 'Your other comments will undoubtedly give many par- ents food for thought. This situa- tion was not mentioned in last week's issue as we felt this would be clarified at the regular meeting of the SHDIIS Board this Week. Unfortunately there were not enough details available last Week to present a true or factual picture of the Situation.)
