It was suggested by Reeve Derry Boyle that parking should be prohibited only from 8;00 to 9:30 a.m. and from 3;00 to 4:30 p.m. Because a bylaw would have to be drafted and approved, Chief MacKenzie said he would speak to the construction men and the foremen in an effort to alleviate the problem until a decision on a bylaw can be reached. The matter was turned over to the protection to persons and property committee. Councillor Joe Wooden ques- tioned Chief MacKenzie on the fact cars were parking on the north side of Victoria St. in the vicinity of the arena and this made it impossible for cars to pass on the street. Councillor Ross Taylor re- marked that he thought the signs prohibiting parking on the north side had been removed and this will be checked into. Wooden remarked that the con- gestion of cars in the area creat- ed a hazard if the fire truck or a doctor had to be called to the arena on an emergency. DOG PROBLEM While Chief MacKenzie report- ed his department had picked up four dogs during the month of January, councillors reported having received complaints from ratepayers over the fact dogs in one area were howling all night and disturbing residents' sleep. Chief MacKenzie said he would check into the situation. Later in the meeting, Deputy- Reeve Mery Cudmore advised that County council may take some action regarding dogs. He said a discussion had been held on the possibility of locating a dog pound in Clinton and ap- pointing a county dog catcher. Members of council appeared to approve of such a move. Other details in the January police report were as follows. HOUSE SOLD Mr. Glen McKnight, Main St. has sold his home to Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Russell.

Members of Exeter council were informed Monday that the Ontario Police Commission con- siders the town to have only a two-man police force. It was speculated that as such, Exeter would be in line to have Policing taken over by the On- tario Provincial Police in the government's present move to eliminate smaller forces. A plan has already been put into effect whereby the OPP will take over one-man forces and it is expected that two-man brig- ades will be taken over in the next step. While Exeter actually has three full-time men on duty, Constable Irwin Ford is classed as a Spe- cial Constable and does not count in the department's strength as rated by the Ontario Police Com- mission. At the meeting, council ap- proved the attendance of Chef C. H. MacKenzie at a zone meet- ing of police chiefs to be held in St. Thomas on February 22. The policemen will be discuss- ing the taking over of depart- ments by the OPP. Chief MacKenzie reported to council that he had received a request from SHDHS Principal Douglas Palmer to have no park- ing signs erected in front of the school to keep this area free for the loading and unloading of bus- es. It was explained that the buses now have to park two abreast as cars prohibit them from pulling up to the curb. Members of council felt the GB council — Continued from front page and owners have disregarded re- peated requests that they be mov- ed. Action was taken to assess dockage fees, retroactive toJan- uary 1. Instructed clerk DesJardins to inform all persons in arrears of 1963 taxes by registered mail that the final date for payment will be March 6. After this date, tax sale procedures will be start- ed. Agreed to enter a float in a mammoth parade in Sarnia on July 15, sponsored by that city's centennial committee. The best float entered in the parades be- ing held during the Chamber of Commerce annual gala week will make the trip to Sarnia. Building bylaw — Continued from front page the reasons for the motion lie in the fact several violations of both the spirit and the letter of the zoning bylaw and of the of- ficial plan have occurred in the past year or so and therefore precedents are being established that might emasculate the of- ficial plan and zoning bylaw. "The board expressed the idea that if council feels certain amendments to the bylaw are re- quired, then these amendments should be considered rather than allow violations of the bylaw," he stated in his letter. He further explained that the board's purpose was merely to remind council that land use or building which clearly violates the zoning bylaw should not be allowed without serious con- sideration, bearing in mind the danger of setting precedents for the future. Council discussed the matter briefly and indicated they would clamp down on violations. All persons seeking building permits must submit complete plans of the planned construction before approval will be granted. "This has to stop," Mayor Delbridge stated in reference to the fact some people start con- struction before receiving ap- proval. In their letter, the Planning Board indicated they concurred with council's decision that the hatchery owned by Clerk Eric Carscadden could be used again for this same purpose. It is lo- cated in a residential area, but because it was a hatchery when the bylaw was passed, could be operated as such again. They also recommended that a planned addition at the Pente- costal Church could be permitted provided that the distance be- tween the building and the front lot line be not less than 11 feet.

From the left are, Ricky Skinner, Lisa Westcott, David Rundle, Mrs. Heimrich, Glenn Gamble and Bradley Cann, Eight parking tickets issued, 52 complaints investigated, one person charged under the Crim- inal Code, two places of business found insecure, five unoccupied houses checked, one lost child located, two reportable accidents investigated. Centennial — Continued from front page Paisley was -asked to discuss with the Exeter Fire Department his suggestion that they canvass the town for funds to conduct a fireworks display on July 1. He said the fire brigade in Delhi did this each year and re- ceived generous support from residents who made donations in lieu of buying their own fire- works. OKAY FOUNTAIN Later in the meeting, coun- cil approved an expenditure of approximately $465 to erect a fountain at the entrance of River- view Park. This will be lighted. Reeve Boyle supported the idea, noting that people may start throwing pennies into it. A suggestion was also made to erect a floral display incor- porating the town's crest. This was not approved, although mem- bers indicated it could be under- taken next year. It's hard on trees Plowed better than most Exeter's streets are plowed better than those in any other community in Western Ontario. That was the opinion express- ed by Councillor Ross Taylor at Monday's council session. He made the statement after council discussed at some length a request that snow be removed from a place of business outside the Main St. core area. Members expressed the opin- ion that snow could not be re- moved in front of all places of business such as those on back streets — because it would be too costly. Reeve Derry Boyle explained this was not being unfair, noting that snow was carted away from Main St. for safety reasons and not to benefit any merchants. He said that the build-up of snow on the Main St. seriously hindered vehicular traffic. The discussion resulted in some heated words when Reeve Boyle made light of a complaint by Councillor Wooden that the sidewalk plow had damaged trees on his property. Wooden said he wished the snow Canners buy in Leamington Canadian Canners Ltd. has purchased all the outstanding stock of The Pyramid Canners Ltd. Pyramid Canners, located in Leamington, processes veg- etables which are sold under the Seacliff and other labels. The company has been operating for a number of years and was pur- chased by a group of Leaming- ton area growers in 1964. Pyramid encountered prob- lems after the 1965 packing sea- son because of difficulties in ar- ranging for satisfactory financing of major plant alterations. This problem was overcome by the acceptance by creditors in July, 1966, of a proposal under which the creditors will receive pay- ment over a period of years. Canadian Canners, with head office located in Hamilton, has been a major processor of fruit, vegetable and soup products since 1903. Products are distributed under the Aylmer and Del Monte labels. The present capital structure of Canadian Canners has 1,404,- 411 issued and outstanding shares all with equal voting rights, of which 33 1/3% are class A shares held by approximately 3,500 Can- adian shareholders, and the bal- ance are class B shares held by California Packing Corp. The anticipated operating flex- ibility will increase the long range potential of both Pyramid Canners and Canadian Canners, a company statement said. G. 0, Hellerud has been ap- pointed manager of Pyramid Canners. He has 12 years of managerial experience with Can- adian Canners and his most re- cent position was Western Ontario district supervisor. An adult 90-ton whale eats more than a ton of shrimp each day. Carbon monoxide poisoning is the favorite method of suicide in the U.S. Hay council -- Continued from front page do but fall in line," stated Dep- uty-Reeve Delbert Geiger, who indicated he could find no fault with the former system in the township. Tinney predicted the new set- up would prove more costly to the ratepayers. In other business, council: Learned that only one enquiry had been received regarding the township's tender call for gravel. Council will meet February 15 to open the tenders — if there are any. The salary of road superin- tendent Karl Haberer was set at $4,800 per annum with three weeks holiday. Decided to purchase a Cana- dian flag to fly from the town- ship hall. They will also purchase a centennial flag to be used at the lalceshore park which is the township's centennial project. Authorized Charles Corbett, drainage engineer, to call tend- ers for the Koehler, Cann-Mit- chell and VanSteeg drains. The latter is a branch of the Ald- worth drain. Drains are now sub- ject to a two-third grant from the government. Approved the purchase of pipe and the cost of digging across the road for a drain at the property of Bert Thompson, Kippen. Mr. Thompson appeared before coun- cil to make the request. plow would stay off the sidewalk on Edward St. because it did more harm than good. He reported he may have to remove some of the trees badly damaged by the plow. Mayor Delbridge, a neighbor on the same block, agreed that few people used the sidewalk and plowing it was unnecessary. In the discussion of snowplow- ing, Works Superintendent Pais- ley reported it was not a costly proposition as a sizeable grant was received from the depart- ment of highways on the town's grader and the workmen. Some members may have doubt- ed his argument later in the meeting. They had to pay $826.- 06 for recent repairs to the grader. In other business, council: Approved acceptance of esti- mates presented by the PUC for the erection of new street lights on Main St. from Gidley St. to the river and also for the erec- tion of back lot hydro lines in this area. The work is being done in connection with the planned re- building of Main St. Estimated cost of the project is $26,484.50, which is to be paid by the PUC. Granted a rebate of taxes to Guenther-Tuckey Transport in view of the fact a building on their property had been removed. Made a grant of $15 to the Huron Crop Improvement As- sociation. Oddly enough, the group had previously asked for $25 and reduced their request this year. Decided to hold their next meet- ing on February 27 because Del- bridge, Taylor, MacGregor, New- by and Paisley will be attending the Good Roads convention on the date of the regular meeting. Advanced $1,000 to the RAP committee on this year's grant. Advised the department of highways they would like to co- operate in having the Highway 4 and 83 intersection improved, but that such a project could not be considered this year. Authorized garbage pickup for an out-of-town resident at the usual cost of $20. In addition, they agreed to have the garbage picked up at the back door of the Usborne resident at an ad- ditional cost of $5 per year. Councillor Wooden warned mem- bers it appeared to be a danger- ous precedent and Cou nci 11 o r Taylor thought the price was too low at 10 cents per week for the added service. The basketball game between the Senior Girls' Team and the Graduates will be held Sat. Feb. 11 at 2:00 p.m. in the gym. Twenty-eight graduates will par- take in the game. Refreshments will be served to the participating basketball players after the game. A note of thanks is due to Barb Hodgson, who is convening the entire event. So let's have a good crowd out to give vocal support! The "At Home" formal this year will be held February 24, from 9:00 p.m. - 1;00 a.m. The cost is $3.50 a couple. The music will be supplied by the Chris Black Combo. This combo h a s excellent arrange- ments of both standard and modern tunes. The general theme of the "At Home" this year is "Alice in Wonderland." The decor should be absolutely splendid! Well, group, we did it again! The result of the student-teacher Broomball game was 3-0 in fa- vour of the students. A special 4 4. " thank-you" goes to Derry Boyle who refereed the game, from all the students and staff, We must not rest on our laurels, however, for the teach- ers have proposed a re-match, in the form of a basketball game later in the year! A Chocolate Bar Campaignhas been suggested for sometime in March. The Chocolates will be the same as in previous years. Some- one mentioned selling chocolate- covered almonds. What do you think? The Drama Club has begun for 1967. The club can accept 300 members. So whether your specialty is makeup, costumes or leading man or lady, come out and develop your talent. Every- one's welcome! The Centennial Committee for SHDHS Student Council has been organized. Chairman is Fred Simmons of 12B. His assistants are Larry Skinner, Doug Beaver, Marlene Rader, Marie Campbell, and Carol Gascho. See you at the basketball game! Levelling the hickory "Oh, boy, am I having fun", could be the thoughts of Danny Blommaert as he aims a paper wad at a fellow student during Usborne central school's look into the past. The re- sults of his little prank could become dis- astrous as Mrs. Beth Batten is ready to wield the hickory stick. T-A photo 44r:704 ,rr -Ja ..;`,,ava•
