After he had cut the first ribbon, he passed the scissors to Mr. Taggart who cut a ribbon at the other end of the bridge to officially open the picnic area below the dam. The second bridge was named in honor of former T-A editor Don Southcott, now Executive As- sistant to Mr. MacNaughton. "Don was responsible for the first plans for development of Riverview Park and this is the fulfillment of those plans," Bayn- stated. "We feel it is only fitting that such an outstanding Kinsmen should be so honored." The third bridge will be dedi- cated later in honor of Les parker, a former club member who attained the position of Deputy Governor. He was on a trip to the West of Saturday. After the ribbon cutting cere- monies, Mr. Taggart raised the Kinsmen flag, The officials then moved to the main gates at the park beside the new fountain and the entire park was dedicated by the Rev.

Shepherd, who is in charge of the 25-man provincial police farce at. Grand. Bend for the sum- mer. "On a whole the large crowds behaved quite well. O n1 y the large group of motercyclists gave up a few anxious moments Sun- day night, Actually, the only real nuisance caused was from the noise of the cycles", added the sergeant. Over the long weekend, that stretched to Tuesday because of the American ho 1 id a y, only slightly more than 30 arrests were made, which is small con- sidering the popelation of the Bend was swelled to about 30,000. Because of the cool weather on Tuesday, Sgt. shepherd said most of the tourists were shop- ping rather than swimming. Grand Bend merchants report "brisk business" over the four day holiday. Information from several sources indicates a slight drop in tourist accommodation requests over previous years, because of many tourists visiting Expo in Montreal. Sgt. Shepherd had another in- teresting comment to make. "Over the past weekend I saw a lot of families parked on the main street, just watching at what was going on. This seems to be re- peating the trend of years back when area residents would drop in for a few hours to have a look," relates the OPP chief.

He also commended the various other service clubs and groups who had cooperated in the cen- tennial project. Mrs. Peg Hunter-DuVar, Atix- Mary president, also spoke and expressed the hope the facilities would be much enjoyed. Kinsmen president Gib Dow remarked on the "team effort" displayed by members of his club in completteg the three foot- bridges in the flats between the dam and the bridge. He explained that the citizens too should take some credit for the work, for the funds used had been raised at the various club events supported by area citi- zens. He introduced National Kins- men president Hal Taggart, who suggested it was appropriate the park project had been under- taken with the cooperation of all service clubs, because the vari- ous clubs have played a large part in building communities and nations, ' He termed the cooperation ex- hibited in Exeter between the various clubs "outstanding". However, he challenged all the clubs to go forward and do better than they had in the past. "That's how progress is achieved," he said. After the platform ceremonies, the dignitaries and crowd made their way to the various club pro- jects in the park. Lions past president Gerald Godbolt was in charge of the dedication of the club's bridge and Rev. Seegmiller not become a "graveyard for old wrecks". He said it would not be fair to property owners in the vicinity to have the yard littered with parts and car bodies. He explained that heavy body work is considered as an indus- trial designation under the zon- ing bylaw, while the property in question is in a commercial zone. However, he said there would probably be no problems in per- mitting the auto shop to be es- tablished. Clerk Carscadden was advised to tell the local garage operator to submit his plans in writing so council could make a decision. Because of the cool air Tues- day evening the Senior Citizens held their annual picnic in Exeter Legion Room with about 60 in attendance. A bountiful supper was served about 6:30 p.m. Cecil Skinner emceed an entertaining program of amus- ing anecdotes, jokes and inter- esting contests, after which euchre was enjoyed. The committee for the October meeting will be Mr. and Mrs. Murray Neil, Mr. and Mrs. Her- man Powe, Mrs. Gordon Wilson, Mrs. Frank King and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lindenfield. ONTARIO more than three poles, but Newby told him that if the diamond was altered to leave the present third base poles intact, the catcher and batter had to look directly into the sun. Newby indicated he was in favor of RAP assisting the rodeo group, pointing out the ball players would be getting a better diamond, a better backstop and the offer of portable stands. Councillor Ross Taylor said it was RAP's place to help any sport seeking assistance, and he was supported by Councillors Vriese and MacGregor. Councillor Joe Wooden urged that the new playing field and facilities be as good as the pres- ent ones, "Don't destroy one facility to make way for another," he said. meeting, when council's two RAP representatives asked for an ex- pression of opinion on the pos- sibility of RAP paying for the cost of moving two of the poles at the ball diamond in connection with the changes planned to facil- itate the rodeo. Councillor Jim Newby pointed out that five floodlight poles had to be moved to the new diamond and RAP had been asked to pay for the moving of two of them. Clerk Eric Carscadden ex- plained there had been a mis- understanding over the moving of the poles. It had been anticipated at first that only three poles would have to be moved but now it was necessary to move five. Councillor Don MacG regor said there was no reason to move STILL DEBATE Exeter's rodeo came in f o r some more discussion at the Honor grads at banquet Council complains over lack of action Graduation ceremonies were held last Tuesday for the two members of the grade eight class at Precious Blood Separate School.

In an effort to end the traffic congestion in Riverview Park, members of Exeter council voted Monday to make the road through the park a one-way street. The one-way traffic will enter the park off Main St. at the bridge and will travel east through the park. The one-way designation will end at the northern limits of the park on Hill Street. At the present time, cars can enter the park from either di- rection, but when they are parked along both sides through the main picnic area, it is impossible for cars to pass. The one-way street will be in force from May 31 to September 30. A bylaw to regulate the traf- fic will be prepared by Clerk Eric Carscadden for the next meeting. Deputy-Reeve Mery Cudmore advised members that park pat- rons should consider parking in the vicinity of the curling rink. He said that with the new Lions bridge, it was possible to get within easy walking distance of the picnic area. Several members commented on the success of the Dominion Day opening of the park and at the suggestion of Cudmore, auth- orized the placing of an adver- tisement thanking all those who had in any way assisted in the success of the day. During the discussion of the park, Councillor Wooden recom- mended that the owner of property on Main St. just north of the bridge be asked to clean up the weeds and long grass. Wooden noted that it detracted from the appearance of the park. Council agreed to write the owner in question and ask that the property be cleaned up im- mediately.

WANT IT IN WRITING A local garage owner will have to submit in writing his plans to convert the former F. W. Hea- table building on Main St. into a combined cleanup and auto body shop for used cars. Clerk Eric Carscadden told council that the operator had ap- proached him recently to see if it was permissible to carry on such a business in the building. Commenting on the enquiry, Councillor Joe Wooden said he didn't think it would be contrary to the zoning bylaw, but caution- ed that council should take steps to ensure that the premises would TO GRADE 3 Nancy Bertens, Norman Mc- Cauley, Paul Van Esbroeck, Ed- ward Van Roessel, Judy Williams, Frank Winters, reau.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO Borrowers and buyers should bear in mind that nothing in the new Act relieves them of the responsibility of making careful decisions when considering a loan, or a purchase on credit. Keep this notice as a re- minder of your rights. Information on borrowing, and on creditbuying, is contained in a leaflet which can be obtained from the Consumer Protection Bureau, 123 Edward Street, Toronto 2. Lenders and sellers should make themselves familiar with the Act and its Regulations. The Consumer Protection Act 1966 and Ontario Regulation 207 /67 (250 each) can be obtained from the Queen's Printer, 26 Breadalbane Street, Toronto 5. For advice on the work. ing of the Act and its Regulations, see your qualified business adviser, The new Ontario Consumer Pro- tection Act, which comes in to force on July 31st, helps everyone who buys on credit by obliging the lender, or seller, to make a written statement of the true cost of credit.This provision, and others in the Act, will not relieve the consumer of his normal respon- sibilities of shopping carefully and choosing wisely; but it will make it easier for him to make the right decisions. Disclosure of the cost of borrowing In all time payment transactions the borrower must be given a written note of the cost of borrowing, both in dollars and cents, and as an annual percentage rate, before credit is granted. The lender must also set down any charges he in- tends to make if the borrower should default on payments. Cooling-off Period This new ruling applies to sales made by itinerant sellers, which is the Act's name for sellers who operate away from their permanent place of business, and who make a charge to the buyer for the privilege of buying on time. A contract made with an itinerant seller can now be cancelled by the buyer, pro- vided he does so in writing and delivers the cancellation to the seller personally, or by registered mail, within two work- ing days of the contract being signed. If he cancels in this way, the buyer must return any goods already supplied, and the seller must return any money or trade-in which he may have received. Thetrade- in does not become theseller's property until the two-day cooling-off period has elapsed without the buyer cancelling the contract. Registration of itinerant sellers As from July 31st, 1967, all itinerant sellers as defined by the Act must reg- ister with the Consumer Protection Bu- Members of the Exeter police department were criticised by members of council, Monday, for not cracking down on illegal park- ing in the Wellington and lviainSt. intersection area. After Chief C. H. MacKenzie gave his report for June, Reeve Boyle asked if he had been cor- rect in listing only one parking ticket issuance. He said the police were giving council the runaround on the problem at the corner, where cars park on the street allow- ance and across the sidewalk, Councillor Joe Wooden noted the situation would not be better- ed until police started handing out tickets, while Councillor Ted Wright called it a "deplorable mess". "We're being laughed at over it," Wright added. Chief MacKenzie advised coun- cil he had asked members of the force to crack down on offenders in the area and said he would see that it was done this month. He indicated he would follow the officers to see they were doing the job. Later in the meeting, a letter was read from N. R. McDonald, advising that the sidewalks "are full" of bicycle riders on Sat- urdays and they were creating problems for older citizens such as himself, who couldn't see very well. Wooden noted Mr. McDonald had a good point, explaining he had almost been hit by a bicycle recently. The police committee were asked to have the police enforce the town bylaw forbidding the riding of bicycles on the side- walks. The police report for the month was as follows; Four reportable accidents and three non-reportable with total damage amounting to $2,350 and two injuries; six charges under the Criminal Code, one under the Liquor COrarol Act and 10 under the Highway Traffic Act; 43 com- plaints investigated; four sum- monses issued for other forces and five investigations carried out for other forces; four places of business found insecure; three unoccupied houses checked; one break, enter and theft; six dog TO GRADE 6 Ronald Mostrey, Jane Van Itoestel, Henry Bertens, Henry Van Roessel, Stefan Orenceuk, Mary Agnes Dietrich, George Van Esbroeck, TO GRADE '7 Rose Anne Van Roestel, Brad- ley Gregus, Adrian Bertens, Paul Robinson, Herman Minderlein, Annie Mostrey.
