SHDHS board learned last week from architects Page and Steele that a revision of the plans was acceptable to the contractor, W. A. Dougall, at a price within the financial resources of the board ($600,000). The project, the board was informed, has been re-submitted to Ottawa for federal approval and it is hoped word will be received from Ottawa by about August 1. The board was informed that the Exeter Town Council had re- ceived a letter from the Ontario Municipal Board acknowledging the town's request to reinstate the SHDHS addition debenture approval. This letter also stated: "There must be submitted an acknow- ledgment by each of the muni- cipalities concerned that it is aware that the application has been reinstated." On a motion of E. D. Bell and L. Lamport, the secretary was instructed to request the Town of Exeter to comply with the W.D. BURTON New Administrator CLASS AWARDS Class Awards are presented to the student with the highest aver- age in the class. Grade 9 — A, Douglas Meld- Inger; B, Joan Campbell; C, Di- Plan inquest for fatality ENID BLACKWELL Grade 12 winner An inquest is to be held some time in August into the death of Edgar Monteith, 75, of Andrew Street, Exeter, who was fatally injured Sunday morning. Cpl. C. J. Mitchell of the Exeter detach- ment of the O.P.P. says the exact date in August has yet to be set. Mr. Monteith met death as he was walking across Highway 83 to attend the 11 am service on Sunday at Thames Road United Church. Provincial Constable John Wright of the Exeter detachment of the OPP reported that Mon- teith was hit by a car driven by Mrs. Eileen Fulcher, 40, of RR 1 Kirkton. Mr. Monteith had parked his car opposite the church before walking across the highway. A bachelor, Mr. Monteith retired from farming about two years ago. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mildred Ballantyne of Exe- ter. The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon at Hopper- Hockey Funeral Home. Inter- ment was in Exeter Cemetery. Charles Simmons, Dearborn, Michigan, was northbound on No. 81' Highway at 8:45 p.m. on June 29 when struck in rear by car driven by James Robins of Lon- don. Damage was estimated at $150. The crash occurred on No. 81 at the Crediton Road. There was some confusion as to whether the Simmons car had its signal lights on at the time. Damage was $500 when a car driven by Gary Mathers of Grand Bend crashed into the ditch at 2:45 a.m. on July 2 on the Credi- ton Road, half a mile west of Khiva. He escaped with bruises but a passenger, Rose Magalino of London, was thrown out of the car and suffered cuts on the right leg. As he approached a culvert under construction, Mathers ap- plied brakes to his car but they failed to work and the car careen- ed into the ditch. Joe Flynn of Hensall was travelling west on the 15th side- road of Hay Township at 2:45 p.m. on July 2 when his car hit a gravel ridge and rolled over. He suffered a broken left leg while car damages amounted to $800. parking tickets were handed out. It was decided to erect a fence near the race track where a gate once stood to prevent through traffic. It will be at the north end of the drive way passing the arena and leading on to Welling- ton Street. The Ausable River Conserva- tion Authority stated the roof on the building in which their offices are located leaks and should be inspected. The pro- perty committee was authoriz- ed to make any necessary re- pairs. The P.U.C. suggested that there be a "light turning on" ceremony after the new lights on Main Street were all installed. Council was in agreement with the idea and will pass it on to the Board of Trade. The P.U.C. complained that any building permits issued should also be authorized by the P.U.C. if the builder wants to be as- sured of water and light services. The Town Clerk was instruct- ed to make a final offer for property adjacent to the Town Hall in the plan for consolidation of town offices. When the sidewalks on Main Street are eventually torn up to install new ones, numerous trees will have to be removed. A resolution was carried that some 50 new trees be planted next spring on Main Street, of necessity on private property, to replace the trees which will have to be removed because of the new sidewalk program. Works Superintendent J i m Paisley was instructed to obtain the services of a man for Satur- days for necessary work on the grounds to be done at Riverview Park. Council decided to investigate the possibility of having the swimming pool open from 9 to 10 pm for the use of adults only. The police committee recom- mended that one new revolver be purchased, at about $91, for the town police, and another one be purchased the following year. It declined to agree with the proposal that a fingerprint out- fit be purchased. Concern over the present and also the future problem of car • parking on Main Street was ex- pressed in discussions of Town Council on Monday evening. Councillor Joe Wooden sug- gested that parking meters be installed for a two-year trial period. With no off-street parking of any consequence, the problem of car parking on Main Street was seen as one of increasing irritation. Finally, town council passed a resolution that the installation of parking meters on Main Street be fully investigated and that all available information be obtained on it with a view to adopting park- ing meters for Main Street on a trial basis. Council was asked by W. Stuart Forbes, co-ordinator for Huron County for Emergency Measures, to pass a by-law expressing the willingness of Exeter to partici- pate in the E.M.O. program. He said officials at Toronto were unhappy about the degree to which Huron County was par- ticipating in the organization. Huron County Council, he said, is to make a decision this Sep- tember on whether to drop EMO or continue it. While there is negation in the viewpoint of County Council at this time, an- other threat such as the Cuban situation could change their minds, he felt. He was of the opinion that county councillors as a whole didn't know much about the importance of EMO. Exeter Town Council finally passed a by-law expressing its willingness to fulfill the require- ments of the Emergency Mea- sures Act. In giving his police report for June, Cpl. Harry Van Bergen said 155 bicycle licenses were issued for that month. A total of 31 complaints were investigat- ed. Five premises were found in- secure during checks. Domestic problems investigated numbered four. There were two cases of break-in and entering. Charges under the Highway Traffic Act numbered 10 and under the Liquor Control Act, one. A total of eight Name new administrator aforementioned instruction and have the municipalities acknow- ledge over their corporate seal that they are aware that the ap- lication for a debenture of$600,- 000 has been reinstated at the On- tario Municipal Board. The secretary was instructed to obtain from the Ontario De- partment of Education the figures used in the project approval which went to Ottawa. These figures, it was pointed out, will be useful in seeking final approval from the Ontario Municipal Board. It was announced that the school's vault was ruined during the break-in at the school on June 15 and the matter of a replacement was left with the property committee. Members of the board felt that a regular meeting of the board would probably not be necessary on July 12 unless definite word of approval re the school addition had come from Ottawa. It was moved by Dr. R. W. Read and seconded by E. D. Bell that the retirement gratuity be paid to Mrs. E. L. Dixon and E. D. Howey. Area grads take posts Find many cars in poor shape A total of 401 cars passed through the safety check equip- ment located in Exeter from Monday afternoon to Thursday evening of last week. Of this number, only 68 cars were ap- proved. There were 259 found with defects and '74 were re- checked after the owners were informed of defects. A total of 26 cars were found to be in suf- ficiently bad shape as to have their license plates removed and ordered off the roads entirely. W. D. (Wally) Burton, 141 Gid- ley Street East, Exeter, was ap- pointed business administrator of SHDHS at a special meeting of the board. His duties commenced July 1 in order to get acquainted with the office operation at SHDHS. Mr. Burton succeeds E. D. How- ey, who recently resigned from this post. Dr. R. W. Read, chairman of the management committee, re- ported there were 14 replies to the advertisement which appear- ed in a district daily newspaper. Five of the applicants were inter- viewed by the committee. W. D. Burton is a retired squadron leader of CFB Cen- tralia. His home town is Ren- frew, Ontario. In 1940 he enlist- ed in the RCAF at Montreal. When he retired from the RCAF in 1964 with 25 years service he held the rank of squadron leader and was senior accountant of- ficer.

An impressive corner stone laying ceremony was held Sunday afternoon at the $626,000 Blue Water Rest Home at Zurich. The home now under construction will provide accommodation for 65 senior citizens. Chairman for the event was Dr. C. Wallace of Zurich. Par- ticipating in the actual laying of the corner stone were Hon. Charles MacNaughton, Robert McKinley, M.P. , Reeve John Cor- bett of Hay Township and Mr. C. A. Atkinson of the Ontario De- partment of Welfare. Blessing the stone was Rev. A. Blackwell of Zurich. Mr. Atkinson spoke of the great service to the district that the new Rest Home would provide and praised those responsible for bringing to reality its con- struction. Special music for the occasion was furnished by the following quartette: Irvin Martin, Dwight Bender, Stewart Steckle and John Geiger. The closing benediction was given by Rev. Ephriam Gingerich of RR 2 Zurich. The Blue Water Rest Home will be one of the few fully- approved homes for senior citi- zens in Ontario, containing full facilities for care and recreation for the elderly, in accord with modern medical knowledge of geriatrics. The new building will include pleasant sitting and dining rooms, work-shop, laundry, recreation areas, garden patio and wooded picnic ground. Hon. Charles MacNaughton and Mr. C. A. Atkinson of the Ontario Department of Welfare are actively engaged in the corner stone laying of the new Blue Water Rest Home at Zurich. Standing by and ready to assist is Robert McKinley MP of Zurich. The ceremony was held on Sunday afternoon. GARY FLAXBARD Best in grade I I Farm delegation protests odors from liquid manure JOHN GODDARD Tops grade 10 • waiting replies from these auth- orities. The clerk of Tuckersmith Township, J. L. McIntosh, RR 3, Seaforth, said that Tuckersmith Township Council Tuesday even- ing told the protesting delegation that the Township had no regu- lations governing the s u bj e ct under complaint and, therefore, had no immediate remedy. Council plans to wait until such a time as the delegation hears from the OWRC and the Huron Health Unit. In the meantime, the odor and the flies continue to gather over the liquid manure ponds and pro- testing ratepayers hold th e i r noses in disgust. Start roads at Hensall Milk goes up before hike MARY WILSON Grade 9 leader Where are you going? "Pigs is Pigs" was the title of a humorous book written sev- eral years ago, but some rate- payers of Tuckersmith Township don't find anything humorous about the problem of liquid man- ure from the pigs which is cur- rently waiting over some parts of the Township. The odor has been accentuated by the recent heat waves. A delegation of three rate- payers appeared before a meet- ing of Tuckersmith Township Council Tuesday evening to air a protest. They claimed that a number of Tuckersmith Township farmers, and one in particular, are using a liquid manure system which is producing offensive smells for neighboring residents and for any motorists passing by. In the system used, a large excavation is made in the ground to produce somewhat of a pond. Into this water is dumped the manure from pigs on the farm, thereby producing a liquid man- ure which is eventually used on the farm fields. The delegation told council that it had registered a protest with the Huron County Health Unit and also with the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission and was a- A traffic survey was conducted Tuesday on No, 4 Highway, about 11/2 miles south of Exeter by representatives of the Ontario Department of Highways. It sought to determine the nature of the traffic, where it was from, etc. Cars were stopped and its oc- cupants asked such questiens as: What address did you come froM? What address are you going to? Are you going on business, shop- ping or on a pleasure trip? The type of vehicle was classi- fied as either commercial or passenger and whether it was from Ontario, other parts of Can- ada or from the U.S.A. Even a Motorways bus was halted and its passengers were queried along the aforementioned lines. As if anticipating the approach- ing hike in the price of milk set for July 1, many quarts of milk itself went up on June 29 and then came down with a bang on Highway 21, half a mile north of Highway 83. A Hamilton Dairy truck from Grand Bend was crossing No. 21 Highway from one lane to another when it was struck by a north- bound car on No. 21 driven by Charles Annan of Sarnia. Total damage in the crash amounted to $900. Driver of the dairy truck was Bradley Hamilton, Boat vanishes during night When W. S. Scott of the Kings- mere subdivision on No, 21 High- way walked out of his summer cottage and headed for his boat and motor at 8:45 am on Sunday, July 3, it was nowhere in sight. Last time he saw it was at 10 pm on Saturday, July 2. He immediately reported the theft to the 0.P,P. But, while driving along No. 21 Highway Sunday afternoon he spotted his lost boat and motor at the side of the road near St. Joseph's at about 4:15 pm. Row and by whom the boat had been used during its hours of absence remains a mystery. Sidewalk riders to get 'ticket' The town police committee will try out a scheme to shame young- sters against riding their bi- cycles on the sidewalks of Main .treet. It is called a violation form and the young offenders will be given them to take home to their parents so that the latter might know that their youngsters are violating town regulations. Three separate wings for normal, special and bed care will be pro- vided. Interdenominational, Blue Water Rest Rome will give priority of accommodation to residents of South Huron and Blue Water Area. Work is progressing rapidly on the construction of the spacious new Blue Water Rest Home at Zurich. The corner stone laying cere- mony took place Sunday afternoon at the extreme right in this photo. A road paving program was scheduled to get under way at Hensall on Tuesday. It includes: Richmond Street South, from Highway No. 4 to Nelson Street; a 300-foot stretch on Mill Street from Highway No. 4; a nine-foot strip alongside of the Town Hall. This was announced at a coun- cil meeting Monday evening. T. G. Hammond of St. Marys is the contractor. At this council meeting, Fire Chief David Sangster requested additional supplies and also of- fered suggestions for the im- provement of the village's pre- sent fire equipment. Clerk Earl Campbell was in- structed to notify the mill own- ers to meet with the council on July 12 regarding the care of the mill dump. Permits for building were granted George Armstrong, to apply aluminum siding on his garage, and Mrs. John Goddard, to renovate the doctor's office and Waiting room. Council gave permission to the PUC to install seven new fluorescent lights on King Street and one on York Street at a cost of over $2,000. The clerk was instructed to notify the Township Of Usborne that the council will only agree to Usborne Township paying the third of the cost of operating the domestic dump ground per annum with no limit. The council instructed Police Officer E. R. Davis to issue a summons to any owner not hav- ing a dog license.
