The local people toured Spendthrift Farm at Lexington, home of the country's finest thoroughbreds. They also enjoyed an authentic Kentucky fried chicken dinner at Shelbyville, and lounged aboard an ancient paddle-wheeler on the Ohio River. The convention con- cluded August 5. Numbers decline at summer camp Water, fire claim lives A Goderich man was drowned and a London woman burned to death in her cottage in two in- cidents in the Grand Bend vicin- ity last week. Arthur Kindervater, 27, an em- ployee of Canadian Dredge and Dock Company, fell from a plank walk-Way across the Ausabl e River, leading to a barge. Workmen pulled him from the water and applied artificial re- spiration, but he was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. E. A. McMaster, Grand Bend. The incident occurred on Tues- day, August 2. On the following night, Mrs. Ron Hunt, London, burned to death in her cottage in the Elm- wood Subdivision north of port Blake. Neighbors attempted to get into the cottage, but were driven back by the flames. Only two weeks before the in- cident, Mrs. Hunt was pulled from Lake Huron by neighbors following a near drowning. Her cottage was burned to the ground and firefighters from Grand Bend and Zurich applied water to nearby cottages to save them.

C. S. MacNaughton informed Exeter council that he has already directed that a study of the intersection of Highways 4 and 83 be undertaken to deter- mine the extent to which traffic lights would remedy the periodic congestion at the junction. The study will also determine the extent to which costs should be apportioned if the lights are to be installed, the Highways Min- ister explained. He went on to point out that some intersection improvements will be undertaken concurrent with the reconstruction of High- way 4 from 83 to Kippen. Im- provements to the intersection at the north end would include channelization. "The intersection improv e- ments may go far to remedying the traffic congestion that ex- ists," he stated, "however, we will have the survey undertaken in any case." MacNaughton indicated the contract for the work on High- way 4 to Kippen would probably be awarded in October, but no work would be undertaken until the termination of the Plowing Match at Seaforth.

"A Warm Welcome Awaits You At The Pentecostal Tabernacle" Tinies-Advoote, August 11, 1946 Page Exeter court session Hay bucks paying .fire retaining fee Drinking leads to heavy fines This appears to be the time of year for area councils to review their mutual fire agreements and flay Township council decided at their meeting they weren't pre- pared to meet the demands as set forth by the Village of Zurich. Zurich requested the township to pay a retaining fee of $3,000 plus a rate of $100 for the first hour and $25 for each hour or part thereof after. That the suggested retaining fee was an increase Is an under- statement. The previous fee had been $300, one-tenth of the new propesal. mercial vehicle which was loaded In such a manner that a portion of the load became dislodged and fell during transit. Robertson was driving a soft drink truck from London, when a case fell off arid part of it flew into the windshield of a car behind it in the Hensall area. The driver conducted his own defense and said it was almost impossible to guarantee that a case would not fall off the truck. He attributed this in part to the fact the road was uneven. Magistrate Hays said he was impressed with the driver's tes- timony, but added that he should take further precautions in se- curing the load by using a tar- pauline or ropes. Two Dashwoud men paid $25 each for causing a disturbance when they appeared before Mag- istrate Glenn Hays, Q, C„, in Exe- ter court, Tuesday, Dawson Keller and Ray Keller, both pleaded guilty to the charge laid by Exeter Constable Jim Warren after he was (tailed to the scene of the altercation on July 29 on Main Street. Both men had been drinking and evidence revealed they were having a dispute as to which should drive the car. The dispute resulted in shouting and swearing which disturbed residents in the vicinity during the early morning hours. The appearance in court for Ray Keller was his second in consecutive days. He was in Grand Bend court Monday to face charges of dangerous driv- ing, having liquor in a place of Exeter on July 26. lie crashed into a smaller truck which was attempting to pass as Knox was turning left into a laneway, He told the court he had acti- vated the signal lever, but the light was not working. Maurice Morgan, Ailsa Craig, pleaded guilty to failing to yield the right of way and was fined $20. He was involved in an accident near the Dufferin Hotel, Cen- tralia. He told the court he had stopped at the street, but pleaded guilty rather than fighting the charge. Paying fines for speeding were: William Cole Edwards, London; Joseph J. Wilkinson, Seaforth; John Baldassarro, London; Tho- mas Young Drennan,London; Wayne McKellar, Kitchener. William J. Capling, CFB Cen- tralia, was fined $5 for entering a highway without stopping and Thomas William Kell, Hay Town- ship, paid a similar amount on the same charge. LOAD FALLS In the only other case, Donald Robertson, London, was fined $5 on a charge of driving a corn- Council members agreed they were not prepared to pay that rate and requested a meeting with Zurich officials. The meet- ing was planned for last (Wed- nesday) night. In other business, council: Accepted the tender of Lee Jennison, Grand Bend, for the supply and application of sand cushion for approximately 180 rods of road between concessions 8 and 9 from lots 10 to 18. The price was 82e per cubic yard and $7.50 per thousand gallons of water. Instructed the drainage engin- eer to look at the McDonald Drain as a number of ratepayers have requested that it be cleaned out. Notified the department of high- ways to proceed with the erec- tion and maintenance of road identification signs noting the concession and sideroad num- bers. One sign will be erected for each direction of traffic and the entire cost of the plan will be paid by the department. Gave final reading to the by- law on the VanSteeg branch of the Aldworth drain. Authorized Reeve Corbett to seek repairs to the Township shed roof, which has recently been damaged by winds. Approved a plan to have the auditors assist Clerk-Treasur- er W. H. Brokenshire with pre- paring the tax rate. Mr. Broken- shire has been off duty for some time due to eye trouble and as a result has been unable to prepare the budget for the year. He re- turned to work this week, but is still under the care of an eye specialist in London. Decided to notify the County Engineer that they intend to pass a bylaw regulating the installa- tion of entrance ways from town- ship roads in the same form as the model bylaw of the County. This bylaw will set standards for rate- payers building entrance ways from the road to their property. GB outbreak —Continued from front page Reports from residents of the resort varied. Many were in- dignant that press reports sug- gested the incident had been a near riot. Others opined that the incident had been worse than on the Labour Day of two years ago when the Riot Act was read. However, most agreed that the over 20,000 people who thronged to Grand Bend for the holiday constituted too large a crowd for the small area. Commenting on the addition of 14 men to the police staff, Reeve 0 ry Wassmann stated they should be able to keep on top of things for the balance of the summer. He stated it was only natural that minor incidents of trouble would break out among the young holidayers. other than his residence, failing to obey the instructions of a police officer and creating un- necessary noise, He lost his driving licence for 60 days on the latter charge and was remanded out of custody for sentence in ,two weeks on the other three charges, Two London youths learned that having liquor while under the age of 21 can be a costly business. George W. McClinchey, 19, paid $75 for obtaining liquor, and Melvin Charles Riell, 20, paid $75 for consuming, They had been charged by Con- stable Warren who had stopped them when he noticed their car being driven in an erratic man- ner. "You men are slow to learn," Magistrate Hays said after noting each had several previous con- victions on similar offences. "Fines are imposed to deter this kind of thing," he added. DRIVERS PAY Traffic violations resulted in penalties for several of those appearing in court. Bradley Hamilton, 19, Grand Bend, was fined $20 when he pleaded guilty to failing to yield the right of way. Evidence re- vealed the milk truck driven by the youth came out of one drive- way and crossed the road to another when struck by another car on Highway 21. Damage in the crash was esti- mated at $1,000, Harold Elliott, Granton, was handed a fine of $30 and costs of $7.50 on a charge of careless driving, after his car ran into the ditch on Highway 4, in the Centralia area. The incident happened on July 16 at 3;00 a.m. and OPP Con- stable Bill Glassford told the court he was convinced drinking was the cause of the mishap. However, Elliott stated he had only one glass of beer prior to the accident and said the car seemed to lurch out of control. He received facial injuries. Robert Knox, Exeter, paid $10 after pleading guilty to operating a vehicle which was not equipped with proper working signal lights. Knox was the driver of a trans- port which was involved in an accident on Highway 4, just north New member given position At a short meeting, Monday, Exeter's RAP committee extend- ed a warm welcome to their newest member, Murray I3rint- nell, and then proceeded to name him to the centennial committee. Brintnell succeeds Ken Kerr in both positions. In the only business transacted RAP acknowledged with thanks the donation of labour and ma- terial by the PUC for the in- stallation of the new floodlights at the ball park. They also decided to comply with a request from Gord Bayn- ham that a steel pole erected in the middle of the road behind the grandstand be pulled out. Mayor Jack Delbridge volunteered to take the pole out himself. Discussion was held on getting a price on the installation of a sprinkler system at the arena, but no action was taken. Lad injured in accident The Exeter OPP detachment report only two accidents during the past week, but persons were injured in both. On July 31, Clifford Gingerich, a 13-year-old from RR 3 Zurich, was in collision with a car driven by Patricia O'Dwyer, London. The youth was knocked from his bicycle and suffered a broken arm and minor injuries. The incident was investigated by OPP Constable Bill Glassford and it happened on County Road No. 2, south of Zurich, around noon. On Thursday, Glassford inves- tigated another accident on High- way 4 at 7:20 a.m, Involved were a car driven by William G. Snell, Centralia, and a truck driven by John R. Ingram, RR 1 Hensall. Ingram had been eastbound on Sideroad 15 and Snell was north- bound on Highway 4 prior to the accident. Total damage was listed at $3,000 and Ingram sustained slight injuries as did two Cen- tralia area men who were pass- engers in the Snell vehicle. They were Robert Dinney and Kenneth Gloor. strong, 80 Sanders Street, was left behind in London. Roll call had been called on the bus before it left London, and the youngster had been mark- ed present, when in fact she was not. Mrs. Armstrong met the bus to pick up her daughter and son, and when Barbara was not on the bus, a phone call was made to London in an attempt to locate her. She was found in the large shoe at the grounds and Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong sped to London to pick up their worried daugh- ter. Crash figure hits $1,200 Hensall council — Continued from front page Councillor Harold Knight said the radar apparatus had never been intended as an investment, only a deterrent. He said care- less and dangerous driving was more of a problem than speed- ing. He observed that "fines are pathetic" and wondered aloud why the courts didn't "go after them". In a light moment, Reeve Noakes suggested that Davis' dil- emma could be resolved if he gave offenders a shovel. In that way, maintenance work would be done, leaving Davis free for po- lice duties. In a two-car collison on Main Street, Thursday, total damage was estimated at $1,200 by Con- stable Jim Warren, Involved were cars driven by Mrs. Claire Hoffman, 192 Huron St. West, and Russell E. Brint- nell, 178 Andrew Street. Mrs. Hoffman was proceeding north on Highway 4 when Brint- nell attempted to make a left turn into a garage as he proceeded in the opposite direction. No one was injured. In the only other accident, damage was listed at $400 when two cars collided at the inter- section of Highways 4 and 83 on July 29. Drivers involved were Douwe Bruinsma, RR 2 Clinton, and Joseph G. Donaldson, Stratford. Constable Irwin Ford reported B ruinsm a was eastbound on High- way 83 and in the process of making a left turn onto Highway 4, collided with the Donaldson vehicle which was westbound. OTHER BUSINESS The clerk was instructed to inquire whether a smoke ejec- tion fan could be obtained on ap- proval for the volunteer fire brigade. Such fans are used to draw smoke from a burning build- ing and so aiding firemen work- ing inside. Council agreed to purchase a barn owned by Ira Geiger at a price of $2,000. The building will be removed with a view to apark- ing lot. Council also accepted a re- port of the Koehler Drainage Works and their share of the cost, $450; voted to pay ac- counts totalling $6,024.61, of which $4,355.33 goes to T. G. Hammond, St. Marys, for com- pleted paving on portions of Rich- mond St. south and Mill St.; heard that 41 dog licences had been issued; granted building permits to Keith Buchanan for a verandah, W. H. Bell for siding, Orval Rapson for a carport and Doug Cooper for renovations to his house. 704,04 Nflat Mr. & Mrs. Herman Powe Saturday attended the last re- union of Croton School (SS 5 Camden in Kent County).

Exeter council thinks so, but primarily because the increase represents a jump of some 50%. At their meeting last week, council received a letter from the Bank of Montreal explaining that "in the face of steadily ris- ing costs which the bank has been experiencing", it would be neces- sary to increase the minimum charge for accepting payments of tax accounts and PUC bills to 15e. The price was previously 10e. "We regret having to make this increase in charges for our service, but we know you will appreciate the reasons that necessitated this action," the letter concluded. However, council didn't ap- preciate the additional charge and decided to advise the Bank of Montreal that due to the fact it now gets all town business, council felt it a bit unreason- able to increase rates by 50%.
