were among the 298 registered

tario.
The other two local delegates
reiterated Baynham's statements
by saying "we spent hours talk-
ing to representatives from oth-
er communities, some much
larger than Exeter, explaining
our recreation and sports pro-
grams. Some couldn't believe
that all facets of recreation could
be administered by one board."
While the convention was split
into ten groups for discussion,
the local men were involved in
municipal recreation, municipal
facilities and community de-
velopment.

Huron riding Liberals decided
overwhelmingly to give SHDHS
teacher Malt Edgar another at-
tempt at Wresting the seat from.

When they named him candidate
on the first ballot in Clinton,
Monday,
The Central Huron Secondary
School auditorium was jammed to
capacity for the meeting with an
estimated 700 in attendance.
Hugh Hill, a senior statesman
of the organization, said it was
the largest turnout he had ever
seen at a Huron Liberal rally
and he told the audience he had
probably attended more than any
other person present.
Five men were nominated for
the post. Many in the audience
expected a tighter race, but Edgar
won a majority on the first ballot.
The results were not disclosed.
There were 345 accredited dele-
gates and 347 ballots cast.
All the candidates and speak-
ers mentioned the new enthusi-
asm sweeping the party ranks due
to the dynamic personality of
prime Minister Pierre Trudeau
and most suggested the large
crowd was ample evidence of this
new enthusiasm.
However, the meeting failed to
generate much enthusiasm. None
of the candidates was interrupted
with applause, despite the fact all
mentioned this appeared to be the
year the Liberals would elect a
member in Huron and that the
party would gain a major it y
across the country.
Edgar was the only candidate
who conducted any semblance of
a campaign. He and his support-
ers greeted people at the door
and handed out leaflets urging a

rears will now be eight percent
per annum or two-thirds of one
percent per month.
This will be retroactive to
January 1, 1968.

proximately 80 tons of calcium
chloride to township roads and
the job was awarded to Lee Jen-
nison, Grand Bend. His price
was $50.55 per flake tone, which
was 15 cents lower than the only
other bid received.
In other business, council:
Learned that there had been no
appeals received following the
publishing of notice to close a

A charge of creating an un-
necessary noise resulted in a
fine of $25 and costs for John
Frederick DeBoeck, Camp Bor-
den.
He was charged on April 28
after a resident in Hensall com-
plained about the noise being
made by the man's car. The
court was told he was roaring
his car's motor and was driving
in such a manner to make the
tires squeal.
A $50 fine was levied against
David Gerald Petrie, Stratford,
for failing to produce evidence
that the vehicle he was driving
was insured.
He reported he had purchased
the car from a friend two days
previous to the charge and had
not changed the ownership and
insurance.

were levied:

"of prime concern".
"The Liberals face a certain

SAFETY TIP
News reports of traffic ac-
cidents occasionally state that
a vehicle ctwent out of control".
Well — perhaps — but your Pro-
vincial Department of Transport
records show that in most accid-
ents it was the driver who lost
control of the vehicle throughhis
own actions — or lack of action.
Such accidents are often the
result of speed too fast for con-
ditions— not always above the
limit — just too fast for the road,
weather, traffic or driver con-
dition.
This helps to emphasize the
importance of always adjusting
speed to conditions, so that you
will be able to make the curve,
or to stop, Or to make any other
manoeuvre and still keep your
vehicle under control.
It also helps keep you and your
vehicle out of accidents.

area has been drained and level-

A considerable amount of

He reported that the school's
tractor had broken down and
would cost between $400 and $500

price of new style tires required

done in the school's auto mech-
anics department.
