Last week a noise was heard in the wall of the house and after some investigation a young squirrel was discovered. The animal was given some milk and a box to sleep in and is now a household pet, It comes at a call whether outside or in and is eager to make friends. When it gets tired it likes a dark place to sleep and chooses some unusual places such as Mr. McLeod's pocket as shown here. (T-A photo) By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE JOHN J.

S/L & Mrs. Robert Palmer and family of Downsview spent — Continued from front page decision to withdraw their sup- port for the addition plan. Concern was the key word of the evening as members discuss- ed alternatives. All members a- greed there will be a need for an addition but Exeter's decision ap- peared at first to block all plans forcing the board to start from scratch again. Members were curious as to why the OMB would cancel the application for debentures when all Exeter requested was a delay. Exeter representatives R. W. Read and I. R. Armstrong re- ported to the Board that the Exeter council realizes that it cannot stop the addition because they do not have enough assess- ment and would have to go along with the other municipalities if they decide an addition should be built, Another reason why the board feels an error has been Made in Toronto is because of the speed of the reply, The letter from the town was dated May 18 and the letter of reply dated May 19. Exeter council received a mild rebuke from USborne represen- tative, Garnet Hicks. Mr. Hicks suggested it "would have been the gentlemanly thing to do", if Exeter Ounce' had invited the other municipalities in for a meeting to discuss this r ether than making their own decision and requesting a delay front the OMB. Board Chairman Kenneth Johns indicated the board would penal= ize all municipalities who want- ed an addition if the project was delayed because of Exeter's ac- tion. A suggestion that students Could still attend Clinton for vo- cational coutsee made by busi- ness adthileistratOr E. ID. Howey was rejected.

Misses Glenda and Elaine Pfaff spent the weekend with their cousins Misses Linda and Diane Preszcator of Kinburn. Visiting with Rev. & Mrs. How- ard Zurbrigg is the latter' s grandmother Mrs. Nora Tauber of New Carlyle, Indiana. Principal L. D. Palmer pointed out that students do not wish to take courses in Clinton and would take an alternate course at Ex- eter rather than be forced to do this. In voting to have the principal's projected enrolment figures made public members indicated people need to realize the basis on which the decision was made. The figures as presented by the principal are the only facts which the board had to base its decision as to continue with the addition. The board may be in a difficult situation by accepting advice from their architect. The board decided this spring to by-pass approvals and call for tenders to get a limn price before asking final approval of the Department of Education. Area Inspector Scott told members they accepted bad advice when they ceased to follow the recommended steps. A motion to have the board meet with all councils of the area was rejected without getting a seconder. '"Why not leave sleep- ing dogs lie?" suggested Roy Morena whO also pointed out that this might stimulate some other councils to follow Exeter's lead. The board has over 50 percent approval for the addition and Un- less others take action the ad- dition could proceed as schedul- ed. The board is working against a 60 day deadline and if all ap- provals are not through by this time it would be necessary to call new teachers. This Could entail higher costs if the board proceeds with the same plans it is using at present. Most members indicated they ilare off the hook" as far as the addition is concerned. If a delay Means added costs they point to Exeter Council who made the re- quest for a delay. Up to them to tell us what we s hould build now". 13 1 yr TOTAL 58 767 68 702 68 788 39 114 55 116 88 851 952 22 16 101 65 96 34 102 95 845 960 29 22 115 83 112 59 86 92 1085 192 74 101 7'7 1151 288 173 91 1237 272 259 87 1288 291 245 130 1329 281 262 123 1347 284 253 131 1363 Eight teachers resign at SHDHS Eight teachers have resigned from the South Huron District High School it was announced Tuesday evening.

The Town of Exeter alone has 60 retail stores with an annual gross business of approximately $5,000,000.00. Estimates, based on a survey conducted after the Training Command announce- ment concerning Canadian Forces Base Centralia, indicate a reduction in retail sales of approximately 30 percent if the base were closed. If nothing was brought into the area to replace it, the Town of Exeter would con- tinue to function as an agricultur- al service area but a great many retailers and manufacturers would suffer severe loes. There have been numerous recent capital expansions by merchants based on the assumption that re- tail sales in the area would in- crease rather than decrease. Area leisure time businesses such as golf courses, restaurants and hotels will also suffer through loss of population and revenue. More than 200 civilian em- ployees work at Canadian Forces Base Centralia. In the agricul- tural economy of this area there are not sufficient industries or commercial enterprises to ab- sorb this number of workers at one time. There are 19 existing industries or quasi-industries in the area, a list of which is at- tached to this brief as an ap- pendix. Some of these would prob- ably reduce their staff if Cana- dian Forces Base Centralia were closed, as the volume of business of some relies on population. This would create a reluctant population movement out of the area as many of these civilian employees have long established roots here. Stephen Township which will also be adversely affected if the Base closed supported the Ex- eter brief and asked that every consideration be given to keep the base open. If the base is closed it will not be "mothballed" the dele- gation were assured. The base would be turned over to Crown Assets for disposal immediately, Most area people feel that the worst thing which could happen to the Base would be to have it closed and unavailable to private industry. The facilities of the base include adequate water, sewage disposal, power and cent- ral heating as well as a fully serviced residential area. p Mr. & Mrs. Joe McLellan of Hensall, Mr. & Mrs. Harvey Moore of Seaforth, Rev.
