Back resolutions
from Windsor area
AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
By Ann Creech
Introducing
Queen Linda did not concur because it was
rather ambiguous.
It asked for a fairer basis of
payment on library costs, noting
that rural communities contrib-
ute more than urban municipali-
ties,

Because of the weather, Par-
ents' Night was notheld Tuesday,
Feb. 28. However, another night
is planned for Tuesday, March 7,
This night is for parents, with
surnames, with the letters from
L to Z, and also for these par-
ents who couldn't make it out
last Thursday night. Let's have a
good crowd!
Exeter council concurred with
two resolutions received from
other municipalities, Monday.
Discussion on both was almost
negligible as they received im-
mediate support.
The first resolution was re-
ceived from Sandwich West and
was asking support for a request
to the government to exempt
municipalities from paying retail
sales tax on the purchase of
machinery and equipment,
The resolution will be forward-
ed to the Hon. C. S, MacNaughton,
provincial treasurer.
A resolution from W Ind s o r
called for all municipalities to
endorse an emergency confer-
ence between officials from all
levels of government for the pur-
pose of defining the present crisis
in education costs.
Council has not supported re-
solutions in the past asking the
senior governments to take a
larger share of education costs,
because they fear they would lose
a voice in education administra-
tion.
Commenting on the Windsor
resolution, Councillor Wooden
noted it was more reasonable
than those in the past which of-
fered solutions to the problems.
"Clearly this is something that
has to be discussed," he stated.
Council received one more re-
solution from the Townships of
Morris and East Wawanosh, but

I would like to present, at
this time, our Queen--Linda
Gaseho,
Linda is an attractive brown-
eyed brunette, who is in Grade
13 this year, Her home is in
Zurich.
Congratulations, Linda!
The people who worked duti-
fully on decorations for the for-
mal are to be commended. Every-
thing was beautiful.
The entrance to the "At Dome"
was through a multi-colored tun-
nel. Leaves of green, yellow,
red, black and brown greeted the
eye.
Once inside, we were enchanted
by the huge, revolving rabbi t
which was situated in the middle
of the floor. The rabbit was
attired in black pants and a red
jacket.
Each coener of the gym was
decorated with a colourful scene
from "Alice in Wonderland."
The Chris Black Combo were
superb. These are a group of
multi-talented musicians. Their
tunes varied from "Winchester
Cathedral" to "Acapulco 1922."
They played many numbers writ-
ten by the Tijuana Brass.
I believe that the "At Home
1967" was a great success!
Last week I mentioned that
SHAHS is sponsoring a Choco-
late Bar Campaign. This year the
chocolate bars are again 514.
You may also purchase a half-
pound package of whole roasted
California almonds covered with
chocolate, for $1.00.
The chocolates should arrive
at SHDHS sometime in March.
So let's have everyone out sell-
ing! Remember, for every 10
chocolate bars you sell, you re-
ceive one free one!

Hulls had been proceeding

Church girls
visit council
About 30 members of the Jam es
St. United Church CGIT, accom-
panied by their leaders, attended
the ,first part of Monday's council
session.
The "lovely young ladies" were
welcomed by Reeve Boyle, filling
in for Mayor Delbridge who was
attending a convention in Toronto.
Boyle told the girls he hoped
they would learn something of the
way the town's business is con-
ducted.
"Sometimes our conduct is
good and sometimes not so good,"
he reported.
Councillor Joe Wooden was late
in arriving at the meeting, and
Reeve Boyle brought a smile to
some of the girls when he asked
the SHDHS vice-principal if he
had brought a note explaining his
tardiness.

Eugene M. Cantin, Detroit,
Michigan, told Constable Wil-
cox he had been northbound at a
low rate of speed when he was
struck from behind by another
car, believed to be a Ford Mus-
tang.
When Cantin pulled to the side
of the road to assess the damage
to his car, the other driver pull-
ed around him and sped off. It is
believed it was also a Michigan
c ar.
Damage was listed at $200.
Another hit and run was re-
ported in Hensall, Friday, when
a car owned by Daniel Thomas
Kipfer, Hensall, was damaged
to an estimated $20 when an-
other car apparently backed into
it.
Kipfer was parked on Richmond
St.
Police believe the other driver
may not have been aware of the
incident, which was investigated
by Constable Glassford.

Buildings are
coming down
Not only are the number of
building permits on the decline
in Exeter, the town is losing
buildings faster than it's gain-
ing them.
At Monday's council session,
permits were issued for the de-
molition of two existing buildings.
E. R. Guenther was given per-
mission to remove a house at
26 Thames Road beside the new
office building built there recent-
ly,
The other permit was f o r
Cann's Mill Limited to remove
a frame barn behind their feed
mill on Main St.
Council also gave permission
for Victoria and Grey Trust to
erect an overhanging sign on
Main St., and to William Poul-
ton, Thames Road, for renovat-
ing a barn that he plans to use
as a garage.
Poulton supplied council with
what Deputy-Reeve Mery Cud-
more described as the most de-
tailed plans ever submitted a-
long with a building permit re-
quest.
Following the recent advice
of the Planning Board, council
decided to follow the zoning by-
law to the letter of the law
and denied a request to have a
former grocery store on Huron
St, turned into a storage for a
local plumbing and heating con-
tractor.
The store is located beside
Victoria Park and is in a resid-
ential area. While it could be
Used again as a retail outlet, the
zoning bylaw does not permit it
to be used for other purposes.
Cotmcillors Newby and Mac-
Gregor were the only members
in favor of allowing the store to
be used as a warehouse.
