He was told this was a matter to take up with the police if the tractor operator failed to co- operate with him. — Continued from front page some time among the kinder- garten students with very few tears being shed by those show- ing up for their first taste of school life. He recommended some action be taken regarding students tra- velling to and from school through the high school property, noting that with the heavy machinery working there, it was very dang- erous. A fence has been erected, but it has been torn down a couple of times at night, The board decided to discuss the matter with the SHDHS board and see what permanent steps could be taken. In other business, the board: Approved expenditures of $90 for novels for four classes; rental of TV sets to show the educational films being planned by the de- partment of education; about $146 for a teacher's desk. Learned that the grade eight students would be attending the conservation school at Camp SY1- van from September 28 to Sep- tember 30. Cost will be $3.50 for the board and $3.00 for the parents of the 50 children. Authorized the supply Com- mittee to investigate the pur- chase of desks from the Stanley Township board, after learning that board is selling desks for $4 to $5 each, Took no action on a request that another set of reference books be supplied for the school. Decided to write the Town of Exeter to explain they were in- terested in maintaining use of the playground area to the west of the school. Accepted the oil tender of Geo- rge Vriese. His price was the lowest of seven submitted. Decided to wait until next meet- ing before taking any action on a request for an increase in sal- ary for the janitors. Learned the roof was leaking in at least two sections. Air patrols — Continued from front page Conlon, who reported he drives 45,000 miles per year, reported he had pulled to the right when the other vehicles started to make a left turn. His lawyer said Conlon had no other course of action—other than to run into the other ve- hicles. In handing down a fine of $5, Magistrate Hays said there was nothing in the evidence to indicate the accused had slackened speed sufficiently to assess the speed of the vehicles ahead soon enough. He said it was a case where brakes could have been applied safely enough and pointed out that slower moving vehicles have their rights on the highways as well as any others.

Last week, Exeter council de- cided to up the rent on the lagoon farm to $27 per acre as they agreed to prepare a lease for another three years to Lorne Keller. The approximately 53 acres had previously been rented at $23 per acre, but members felt it should be increased. In presenting the action, Councillor Joe WoOden started at $30 but reduced it to the lower figure at the urging of other members, The lease will run for three years, but a termination clause will be included in the event more of the land is required for the sewer system. This was done at the direction of the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission. Council also instructed the mayor's committee to consult with the town's solicitor to see what controls can be set up for the operation of scrap yards. The sanitation committee was also asked to investigate whether a local scrap dealer was occupy- ing some of the street right-of- way with scrap on his property in the vicinity of the CNR tracks on Wellington Street. The action was taken after a complaint from Basil Yablonski, Wellington Street, that scrap was' being piled up beside his house and was also spilling onto the road. "It's a bad thing," Mr. Yablon- ski reported, in questioning council if there was any action they could take. He said he realized the scrap was on the dealer's property, but it was only a few steps from his home. Councillor Wooden said legal MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER Miss Betty Ann Young and her mother, Mrs. Clarence Young were co-hostess last Wednesday for a miscellaneous shower for Miss Jean Marie Lankin, bride- elect of this month.

OKAY LIGHTS Council received word from the PUC that they were planning to make additions and alterations to the street lighting system in various sections of the com- munity at a cost of $2,100. While the expenditure is made by the PUC, council can s t i pu- late where lights are to be placed. They voted to accept the recommendations as presented. Approval was given to have repairs made to the police cruiser in the estimated amount of $15.15. The car was damaged in a slight collision while on its way back from a recent fire in Usborne Township. Councillors showed dis- pleasure over a report that the cruiser had been back and forth three times from the fire and committee chairman Ted Wright reported he had already chastised the police for this. He said they were told they should only escort the fire truck to the town limits as the truck has ample warning equipment on it. In other business, council: Debated without any conclusion how they will remove about 60 trees that are either dead or will have to come out to make way for the Main Street widening next year. About 14 of the trees are located elsewhere around town and there was a suggestion it should be done as a winter works program. Decided that Works Superin- tendent Jim Paisley should be able to make his report at the start of council meetings so he didn't have to sit around for the duration of all sessions. All busi- ness in which he may be involved will be dealt with early. Agreed to put $4,000 from the street expenditure into an in- vestment certificate until it can be used next year. The money had been set aside for the paving of Gidley Street, but this was postponed due to the heavy trucks using it on their way to the high school addition project. Decided to notify several property owners that their places must be cleaned up within seven days or action will be taken. Learned that Chief C. H. Mac- Kenzie will be able to perform light office duties for about six hours each day. Heard a report from Deputy- Reeve Gandon on a convention he had recently attended in Hamilton, dealing with welfare problems. He said more work was now being done in the line of prevention of broken homes than in handling the principals after the trouble had reached serious proportions. He also re- ported private rest homes, such as the one at Zurich, were now receiving larger government grants and this prompted Councillor Wooden to state such an institution should be built in Exeter.

The club is planning an "Open Dance" on October 1 in the Arena to enable couples who think they might enjoy square dancing to give it a try. Beginners' classes start Mon- day, October 3. Promenaders' activities didn't stop with the coming of summer. In June a family picnic was held in Riverview Park. Parents and children participated in games and races, followed by a basket lunch. The club enjoyed a beach party at Port Franks in July, and in August a corn roast was held at the home of Jack and Kay Blair, with the corn being provid- ed by Wayne and Marj Tuckey. Grand Bend dancer Les Green- wood provided hamburger and Tom Tomes of Centralia supplied the buns. Although the club has lost several couples through the closing of CFB Centralia, the promenaders look forward to another season of dancing fun. way USBORNE & HIBBERT MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY Head Office — Exeter, Ont.
