BRYOGES Receive card from England Times-Advocate, December 22, 1966 Page 13 Christmas spirit prevails The Christmas spirit prevail- ed throughout most of Exeter c'ouncil's final meeting of the year, Monday. It started off when C. L. Smith, manager of the Bank of Montreal, made his annual appearance to thank council for their business during the past year. To show his appreciation, he handed out some chocolates, cig- arettes and cigars, as well as two pouches of pipe tobacco for Mayor Delbridge. The next exchange of pleasant- ries took place between council and Cpl. Harry VanBergen, who has been acting chief during the recent illness of Chief C. H. MacKenzie. After completing his report, VanBergen was questioned about the two-hour parking regulation on Main St. and indicated the department would not be too strict until the festive season has con- cluded. In wishing members of coun- cil a Merry Christmas, VanBer- gen explained he had (la list made up" but wouldn't present it to council for fear it would spoil their Christmas dinner. The sug- gestion was that he would be around in the new year with a request for a pay hike. Councillor Joe Wooden pre- sented a motion of commenda- tion (*for the fine way he (Van- Bergen) performed the duty of acting chief". While the motion was seconded by Ted Wright, Mayor Delbridge explained there was no need in Clinton man tops Liberals Clinton lawyer E, 13.

"He's done an excellent job," Reeve Derry Boyle stated. In his report, for the past month, Vanl3ergen indicated there had been five accidents with damage under $100 and two with damage over $100; six charges laid under the Highway Traffic Act; three under the Liquor Con- trol Act; two under the Criminal Code; 36 complaints investigated; one per son arrested; 10 sum- monses issued; two domestic problems investigated. He caused a chuckle by re- porting that no children had been reported missing and that one had been found. He explained the odd circumstance by stating that the found child had really been reported missing the previous month. An attractive Christmas card from the Mayor and council of Exeter, England, helped extend the friendly atmosphere of the meeting. Deputy-Reeve Phil Gandon at- tempted to explain the political situation when members wonder- ed why the Mayor was called Alderman Mrs. M. Nichols and had a Mayoress, Mrs. F. M. Randal Vining. A native of England, Rev. Gan- don explained that the Mayor was probably appointed to her position from among the Aldermen, rather than being specifically elected to the post by the voters as is the case here. He stated that the Mayor's wife has official duties and is known as the Mayoress and in Exeter's case this year, another lady was named by Mrs. Nichols to be Mayoress. It was suggested by council that a letter be sent to the Ex- eter, England, council thanking them for the greeting and invit- ing them to attend our centennial. DROP ASSESSMENT The Christmas spirit was still in evidence following a request from The Industrial Mortgage and Trust Company that the assess- ment be reduced on the former Dr. Hyndman property on Huron St. The firm explained that the taxes were (*exorbitant" in view of the condition of the house and this was creating a detriment to a possible sale. Assessor Eric Carscadden re- ported that the County Assessor had viewed the house and had suggested that the assessment could be cut in half from its present $3,150 figure. Council decided to take the assessor's advice and will re- duce the assessment by half in 1967 (it was too late for this year) as long as all tax arrears are met by January 30. The motion also contained the clause that the situation would be re- viewed at the end of 1967. In other business, council: Turned down a request from the Department of M a npower and Immigration to support a publicity campaign to encourage winter employment. Were advised by letter that Stephen Township would approve the use of the mutual fire equip- ment being used to fight anyfires In his weekly report, OPP Cpl. C. J. Mitchell called on all area drivers to drive with care and courtesy to avoid tragedies over the busy holiday season ahead. He had this to say in a state- ment: "Driver! It's a fact! If you get into the habit of breaking traffic rules you're headed for trouble! What's that about pills? Most families increase by one at a time. Some jump by two or even three and every once in awhile some hit the jackpot with quints. So, when we found a family recently that had jumped by no less than 267, we certainly thought it was newsworthy. The family was our own fam- ily of T-A readers. At our last circulation report on September 31, 1966, we had increased to a total of 4,427 subscribers — an increase of 267 over the figure recorded in March of this year. While we're not passing out cigars we are proud of this ad- dition to our family, and we bid a sincere welcome to our "new arrivals". at CFB Centralia. Verbal ap- proval was ,also received from Hay and Usborne Townships. As yet, no formal request has come from the RCAF to have the local brigade provide protection for the base. Learned there were no furth- er applications for the vacancy on the police department and that the three candidates interested would be interviewed in the near future. Were advised by Eric Cars- cadden they would have to borrow $30,000 before the end of the year. The records prove it. They show that many of the injuries and fa- talities on our streets and high- ways are the result of the break- ing of one or more of the traffic rules and regulations by some person or persons. On the other hand, most drivers stick to the rules and stay out of trouble. Makes sense, doesn't it?" "Traffic rules and extra holi- day season enforcement of the rules make a life-saving com- bination. Support this team and help save lives, perhaps your own, or your child's." Over the past week, the local OPP officers issued 40 warnings under the Highway Traffic Act and laid six charges. Another one was charged under the Liquor Control Act. Ten occurrences were investi- gated and 55 hours of patrol were spent in covering 1,686 miles. f
