Mayor Jack Delbridge pointed out they may as well take the i4p" of RAP if they were going to hand their duties over to an- other committee, Council's representative on RAP, Jim Newby, indicated RAP did not agree with the suggestion of a special committee. Councillor Joe Wooden stated that when RAP appointments do come up, someone with a par- ticular, interest in the work at the park should be considered and this met with agreement from council members, Tt was decided to write Mc- Cauley thanking him for his sug- gestions and indicate they would be considered.

Grain • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Coal 228-6638 Exeter's Planning Board will be asked to review the entire official plan with a view to sug- gesting changes in land use. Council decided to make this request after hearing the outcome of a recent hearing held by the Ontario Municipal Board regard- ing the proposed rezoning of land on Main St. north of the Brewers' Retail. The hearing was quickly term- inated when an OMB off ic i al learned that the official plan had not been amended prior to the hearing. Mayor Jack Delbridge thought the procedure required by the OMB was a case of putting the cart before the horse, He point- ed out that after the official plan was amended, it would have to be changed back if in fact the re- zoning was not approved, Members of town council end- ed up in a procedural hassle Monday night after agreeing to sell town property to Earl Camp- bell, who plans to build a house in Riverview Heights. The local jeweller appeared before council and requested that he be allowed to buy town prop- erty between his lot and the river so he would have enough prop- erty to qualify for a loan under the Veterans' Land Act, The amount of land in question was about 100' by 55'. Mayor Jack Delbridge opined that the land would never be de- veloped into park area, but this was disputed by Councillor Joe Wooden. He said council would be short-sighted in selling po- tential park land when buying land for park use was so expensive. "we've already got enough park land and pote rit i al park land," countered Reeve Boyle. Councillor Ted Wright also backed the move to sell the land and after someone noted other residents in the area may have similar requests, he said this would be alright too as the land would probably be improved in appearance, Wright also explained that council should encourage home builders as tax revenue was the only method council had to carry on the town's business, The hassle over procedure came about when Reeve Boyle and Wright presented a motion that the land be sold for $100 and that the town have an agree- ment with Campbell that the land could be bought back at the same price if required. Campbell indicated he would be prepared to sell the land back after his mortgage under the VLA terminated. Councillors Wooden and Newby then presented an amendment that the land be sold for $100 but that it be sold back to the town for Terry McCapley, secretary of the Exeter centennial committee, suggested this week that a speeial sub-committee should be named to provide for continuity in the development and maintenance of Riverview Park. He explained that the commit- tee could direct the work of John Roelofs, plan the purchase of equipment and supplies for work in the park and establish a work- log agreement with the Ausable River Conservation Authority for development of the park area. He also suggested a petty cash fund was required for efficient operation of the park so funds could be available for smallpur- chases when required. The suggestion was presented Accidents — Continued from front page a one-car crash on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. A car operated by Ray McLeod Mills, 20, RR 1 Granton, struck some potholes, causing it to go out of control, smashing into a hydro pole and damaging a farm fence. The accident occurred on the Usborne-Biddulph townline at the junction of Highway 23. Damage was listed at $350. Robert Luxton was n am e d president of the Exeter and dist- rict branch of the C anadian Cancer Society at a meeting, Monday.

HEAVY DAMAGE An estimated $2,000 was done to two cars involved in another accident on Saturday, this one at 4:50 p.m. Drivers involved were Henry E. Finkbeiner, 46, RR 4Denfield, and Eric L. Howald, 23, Kin- cardine. They collided at the intersection of Highway 4 and the St. Marys Road. Both drivers were injured, but not seriously. Investigating of- ficer was Constable D. A.

Wright, traffic safety officer for the area, visited six schools and showed a film strip on school bus safety to junior grades and demonstrated driver education for senior grades. A total of 620 students were involved in the talks. Council okay taxi license Exeter council approved asec- ond taxi license for the commun- ity, Monday. It was granted to Earl Dietrich, who has operated a taxi from Centralia for several years. The opening for a second taxi operator came about when Len Harvey recently advertised that he was cutting down on his night service and asked int erested persons to contact either him or council. At their last meeting, council had suggested Dietrich operate under the license of Mr. Harvey, but this was not acceptable. Dietrich was instructed that the fee would be $25 per year but was given permission to pay it in six-month installments. He indicated he would not set up his own stand, but would take calls given to him by Harvey. Faulty furnace reason for call The Exeter fire department was called to Irwin's Ladies' Wear on Sunday at noon; but no damage was reported. The alarm was turned in after a passerby smelled smoke in the building, It was due to a faulty furnace. GB council — Continued from front page asked for funds to support four minor hockey teams in the Lamb- ton-Middlesex hockey league. Mrs. Harrison, the spokesman for the group in asking for a grant of $450 said, "This money does a lot of good. Boys that are in- volved in sports don't get into much trouble and it keeps them off the street. Last year we spent about $600 in ice rental fees," In commenting on the request, Reeve Wass mann said "We should be thankful that these mothers take such an interest in sports". Councillor John Teevins added, “Thisis a worth- while venture, we should give them at least $500 to support their hockey program". Council unanimously authorized the $500 grant. Right on the heels of the hockey group came a delegation from the Grand Bend Winter Sports club seeking financial aid for their annual Santa Claus parade. President Ory Mellin asked for a donation of $200 to help in de- fraying expenses for the 1967 parade which will be held on De- cember 9. Council in authorizing the grant commended the Winter Sports club for their efforts in trying to keep visitors coming to the summer resport in the winter time. In other business, council: Passed a bylaw allowing the Grand Bend fire brigade to par- ticipate in the Lambton County Mutual Aid system. Learned that a new snow plow that had been ordered a month earlier had arrived and was in- stalled on the village truck. Set the 1968 road expenditure bylaw at $18,000 an increase of $2,000 over last year due to add- ed expenses expected in drain- age after the highway construc- tion has been completed.
