In fact it may burn them up! That was a warning issued by Rec Director Alvin Willerl at Monday night's meeting of the RAP committee. "Someone's going to get kill- ed In there," Willert stated dur- ing the discussion about youths climbing over the fence to take a dip after regular swimming hours. Willert explained that at cer- tain times of the week the pool is given an extra heavy dose of chlorine to kill germs and re- duce the chances of algae grow- ing in the pool. The extra chlorine is safely diluted before swimming com- mences the following day. Mayor Jack Delbridge asked whether the trespassers would have to drink the water to be seriously injured or killed. "The fumes will do it," re- plied the Rec Director. Gord Baynham added that the chemical could certainly cause severe burns. RAP had previously asked that a strand or two of barbed wire be placed around the top of the existing fence, but council mem- bers did not agree with this sug- Whew! ! Area residents who may have been wondering in the past two or three years whether summer was a thing of the past, have found out in the past two weeks that the weatherman has not completely forsaken them. Since July 1, the temperature has not dropped below a high of 75 during the daytime and it has been accompanied by plenty of stiffling sun and humidity. In those past 12 days, the thermometer has climbed up over 90 on four occasions and has been over 85 on another four days. The high recorded this month accord- ing to the met section of CFB Centralia was a 95 on July 3. The coolest day was July 8 when the mercury dipped to 75. The weather, of course, has met with mixed reaction from area residents. It's been wel- comed by those on holidays who can take frequent dips in the lake or swimming pools for relief. Area farmers are getting con- cerned, because so far this month there has been a nominal rainfall of only .04 inches; that being recorded on July 9. The five-day forecast detailed from Centralia shows that the warm weather will continue, with the high temperatures expected to remain in the mid and high 80's. Scattered thunderstorms are predicted for most of those days, but no general heavy rain is ex- pected. Elsewhere in this paper, Huron Count y' s Agricultural Repre- sentative Doug Miles reports that crops are in need of rain and a more prolonged drought will have serious affects. HAPPY AT RESORT Resort operators at Gran d Bend are naturally pleased with the weather conditions. The sweltering heat has sent thous- ands of people flocking to the lake to find some relief. For the past two weekends, the popular resort has been over- flowing, as have other areas along Lake Huron. Accidents — Continued from front page 2:30 pm Sunday. Michael A. Cushman, Huron Street, had been eastbound on Highway 83 and in making a right turn onto the sideroad, lost con- trol and went onto the shoulder of the road, then struck a culvert. Damage to his 1966 Ford was estimated at $800. He and his passenger, Ronald Broderick, each received minor facial lacerations. The final accident reported took place at 12:30 am on High- way 4, half a mile north of the Usborne-Tuckersmith line. OPP Constable Reid investigated. Cars driven by Janet Murdock, RR 1 Brucefield, and Robert K. Allen, Goderich, had both been northbound, and police report Allen was in the process of passing when his right front corn- er caught the rear of the Mur- dock vehicle. The latter ended up in the ditch. Damage to each was listed at $350. Queensway NURSING HOME REGISTERED NURSING SUPERVISION Convalescent and Elderly People PROPS, MR. & MRS. H.M. KLUNGEL Hensall 262.2830 gestion, noting that the existing fence was of a regulation type, It had also been suggested that the barbed wire would have to be welded to the existing fence and this could cause rust and spoil the appearance of the fence. Not only are the youths taking a serious risk in swimming in the pool, they've been doing some damage while they're there. Willert reported a broken pop bottle was found on the pool deck one morning and a towel had been tossed down a drain. He said he managed to get the towel out, but if it had been any further down the drain, it would have been necessary to cut down through the cement to get it out. Local youngsters apparently A total of 286 area youngsters have registered for swimming instruction this year 43 more than last year. Rec Director Alvin Willert re- ported much of the increase is in the number of rural children enjoying the facilities, as a. slight decline has been noted in the number of Exeter kids. The heat wave has also seen a substantial increase in attend- ance at the pool and receipts for the first two weeks of July reach- ed over $500, with the booth tak- ing in another $400. Willert predicted a slight profit on the pool operation this year, but suggested that any surplus be set aside to face any deficits that may arise in future years. Exeter's RAP committee a- greed with this suggestion. Only 12 adults showed up for the first of lessons this week, although 30 had originally shown interest in the program. "Every- one wants to swim until we make it available to them," Willert stated. He reported that classes are held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening and the pool is open for adults only from 9:00 until 10:00 on Tuesday and Thursday. It was noted there was some difficulty in attaining life guards Soft ice cream as power goes A power interruption which left Grand Bend, Dashwood and Zurich without electricity, brought an unexpected quiet to this resort for over two hours on Saturday night. In the other two communities, service was restored a little sooner. Definite information about the interruption was not available, since the public relations office in London, which makes all such releases for Ontario Hydro was not in operation. However, un- officially, it was learned that a power line had been broken near Dashwood, either by lightning or other means. Resort operators found that ice cream was beginning to melt, and other foodstuffs, also ap- peared to be in danger. Most establishments can operate with emergency heating equipment, but freezers and air conditioners are out, when no electricity is available. Even guitars and sound equip- ment for the modern rock and roll dance bands could not func- tion, and power came on only in time, to avoid interfering with dancing at the Lakeview Casino and the gold ring a go go. — Holiday aren't too appreciative of the wading pool facilities in Vic- toria Park either. Shortly after it was painted prior to opening, four youngsters rode their bicycles through the paint and spoiled the job. Wil- lert reported he had the names of the boys and asked whether RAP wanted to have them charg- ed. No decision was made on the matter. On two occasions, children have smashed pop bottles in the pool, and while it took consider- able effort to pick up the glass, this was done without the neces- sity of having to close the pool down for a day to have it drained and swept, for the pool and at present one chap is being brought in from Grand Bend to assist. Willert explained it was a tough — and very responsible — job and there were very few peo- ple in the area qualified. For the benefit of younger children in the area, the wading pool at Victoria Park will be open Saturday and Sunday after- noons from 2:00 to 4:00. Willert reported attendance last week- end was not very high. DOWN A BIT Registration to date on the Kin Playground has reached 115, which is a slight drop, but is due in part to the added attend- ance at the swim program. The Rec Director reported the children from Queen's Park in the northend had been trans- ferred to Riverview Park. The move had been made with the parents' approval and resulted in a larger group at Riverview P ark. The Kin Camp will again be held at Goderich for one week, from August 7 to 14. Registra- tions have been slow to date, but it is expected they will show an increase in the near future. In other business, RAP: Learned there were seven horses stabled in the race barn. Approved purchase of two rub- ber plates and two pitcher's rub- bers for the recently renovated diamond at the Community Park. Total cost of the four items was listed at $65. A fee of $5 per night was set for use of the new floodlights at the park. These are expect- ed to be completed this week. Kirkton party on next week The biggest little summer show in these parts — Kirkton's annual garden party is scheduled for Wednesday, July 20, this year and it boasts another extrava- ganza of vaudeville stars. Between 4,000 and 5,000 people fill the fairgrounds of the little village on No. 23 highway on the Perth-Huron boundary for the annual show. They come back every year because of the tra- ditionally lively show. This year's program features TV's Hames Sisters, the Counts, Canadian champion barbershop quartette; Williams Brother s, comedy acrobats from Sweden and other top performers. The show opens with a men's softball game at 6 pm followed by the juvenile amateur program featuring young performers from the area. The professional show starts at 9 pm.

Page 3 Swim registration shows big increase BEAVER LUMBER MANUFACTURED HOMES MERCHANTS DON'T WANT 'EM If Exeter council think parking meters may end the ir- ritating parking problem on Main Street, indications are they are all wrong. Parking meters could easily cause more irritation than what has been experienced in the past. That's the suggestion following a poll of Main Street merchants this week by the retail merchants' section of the Exeter Board of Trade. Circulated on Monday, the petition showed that 34 mer- chants were against the installation of parking meters. Only eight favoured them, Iry Armstrong, president of the Board of Trade, indicated the poll would be presented to council at their meeting Monday night so they would know what the merchants thought of the pro- posal. Council had decided at their last meeting to fully investi- gate adopting parking meters for Main Street, after concern had been expressed over the present and future problem of car parking. Councillor Joe Wooden suggested that meters be installed for a two-year trial period. At present, there is a two-hour parking limit on Main Street, but it has been found difficult to supervise.
