First try proves useless Firm to do Huron Street again by Councillor Wright that some neglect was showing on "every block" in Exeter. He said council could only expect to have so much work done by the town employees and hinted that they were expecting too much. Reeve Boyle agreed, noting that council was looking at some of the big tasks and overlooking some of the minor ones. In other business, council: Authorized Clerk Eric Cars- cadden's attendance at two meet- ings of district clerks and treas- urers. One is in Clinton and the other at Brodhagen. Decided to ask an estate A. vote to fix the particular property mentioned by Boyle re- sulted in a defeat. Wooden then presented two mo- tions which were passed unani- mously. They were: — That council make the re- storation of boulevards part of all construction or maintenance pro- jects and that the estimate of the restoration be included in the contract price and that it be done at the time of the job. — That a recommendation be made to the 1967 council that existing damaged boulevards be looked at with a view to restor- ing them. The move followed a comment Brussels swine first to qualify The Yorkshire herd of W. E. Turnbull and Son of RR 2 Brus- sels, is the first herd to qualify under the elite herd policy for swine recently introduced by the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture and Food. This policy is designed to en- courage swine breeders to es- tablish and maintain herds that have achieved high standards in respect to performance, type and herd health. To qualify as an elite herd, all the sows in the herd must be tested under the record of performance policy for swine and achieve an average carcass score of at least 78.0, in 185 days or less, or a feed con- version of 350 pounds or less per 100 pounds live weight gain, in addition to passing a type of inspection by a representative of the Live Stock Branch and meeting the necessary health standards of the policy. The Turnbull herd with an overall average of 80.4 on car- cass score in 168 days and with a feed conversion of 324 easily met the performance require- ments for an elite herd. Live Stock commissioner H. E. McGill reports that several breeders in the province have enrolled their herds under the policy, and it is expected that in the near future other herds will qualify for the elite status. Herds that meet the require- ments of the policy in respect to performance, type and health will obviously be the outstand- ing breeding herds in Ontario, and so should constitute the best source of quality breeding stock for both pure bred and commercial breeders. Agriculture briefs executor to take immediate steps to have an unsafe property fixed up at the north end. Councillor Wright explained that the prop- erty was a fire hazard and that a deep well covered by rotten boards constituted a danger for neighborhood children. Council wants the windows and doors barred and the well covered with a new platform.

Remember Boy Scout APPLE DAY In Dashwood Sat., Oct. 29 Apostrophe there or no? Huron's Agricultural Repre- sentative , Doug Miles, reported this week several farmers in the county have made requests for the grants available for removing fence lines in their fields. Grants of 40% are available, up to a maximum of $500, for removing fences. The grant ap- plies on the cost of hiring heavy equipment to do the work. The government is providing the grants to assist farmers in removing fences to make fields larger in view of the economic benefits and the necessity due to the large machinery being used at the present. In his crop report, Miles in- dicates that the splurge of good weather is aiding the harvesting of white beans and grain corn. Moisture content is lowering sat- isfactorily. Fall plowing is progressing fa- vorably and he added that the mild nights are allowing all classes of cattle to remain on pasture. * * * * On Monday and Tuesday, the Agricultural Representative and the Associate Agricultural Rep- resentative, Don Pullen, will be attending classes in Toronto. They will be studying new tech- niques and information in many aspects of farming operations, including farm management, in- come taxes, etc., etc. By MRS.

There's a major battle being waged in the neighboring com- munity of St. Marys and it's all over a tiny aprostophe. However, it appears the town may be winning. Some time ago, the depart- ment of municipal affairs in- sisted St. Marys revert to its pre-1938 spelling of St. Mary's or face a loss of credit. Now the department apparent- ly isn't quite so adamant. They have told the council of St. Marys or St. Mary's — that the mat- ter will be studied. Walter Falke, Toronto, solicit- or for the department's legal branch, said the solution to the problem may be "an amendment to the Territorial Division Act which lists the correct spelling of the town as St. Mary's". Councillor Ross Taylor re- ported this week that Riverside Construction, London have a- greed to resurface Huron Street next spring at no charge to Ex- eter. The action by the paving com- pany came after complaints from the local council over the paving job recently completed on the eastern portion of Huron Street. At last week's meeting, Coun- cillor Taylor reported that ne- gotiations were being conducted with the London firm after '75% of the stone put on the road had failed to adhere and had been widely distributed on the boule- vard. Oddly enough, all members of council — even road committee chairman Taylor e xp r essed surprise that the road had been covered in such a manner. Most thought it was just going to be covered with a "binder coat" of oil and sand to protect it through the winter. However, the firm used fairly heavy gravel. MAY GRADE OTHERS Discussion at last week' s meeting then moved to other streets in Exeter, where coun- cillors raised complaints over the method used to patch some. "Our roads are pitiful," com- mented Councillor Wright, add- ing that he had recently ruined a car tire driving on them. He added that patching was useless as it is now being done. Other members agreed, noting that cold mix dumped into holes half full of water didn't last very long. Wright cited a case where the patching material had worked out of a hole in a matter of a few hours. Councillor Wooden suggested that patching some streets was a waste of money and recom- mended that the grader be used to scarify some of the streets to eliminate the bad stretches. However, Taylor explained that the budget for roads was depleted. A meeting of the committee was planned for this week when the matter will be discussed further. FIX BOULEVARDS A request from a local rate- payer to have a boulevard fixed up was not granted, but it did prompt council to take action that will see such boulevards fix- ed up in the future. Reeve Boyle explained that the resident had had a nice boule- vard until such time as the town put in a new sidewalk. He asked if they were responsible for put- ting it back into shape. Councillor Wooden said he thought council should be re- sponsible and recommended that it be done. This prompted Councillor Tay- lor to note that the boulevard in front of his house had been dug up and he would be glad to have council fix it as well — adding that others in his neighborhood would also welcome the action. However, he said council could add another three mills to the tax rate if they started fixing boulevards. By MRS. G.
