The directors feel that the price is right, and they are con- fident this mill will make a valuable contribution to the Co- Operative.

Dashwood pair hurt in accident Two Dashwood youths were seriously injured early Sunday morning in a one-car crash about half a mile south of Elginfield on Highway 4. Driver of the car was Philip Wayne Davis, 20, and his pass- enger was Keith Maier, 21. Cpl.

Davis suffered head lacera- tions, abrasions to his shoulder and a fractured right leg. Maier suffered serious burns-believed from battery acid to his arm, face, eyes and neck, as well as lacerations to his leg. The car was a total wreck with damage listed at $500. Both were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital and are still confined there. The Lucan OPP Detachment also investigated one fatal ac- cident during the week, that tak- ing place just south of Birr on Highway 4 on Friday at 9:50p.m. A car driven by Karl Ludwig Salz, 24, London, left the road and went into the east ditch and rolled over.

The PC leader suggested that the neglect of eastern agriculture by the PresePt government is one of the most serious lelPt$ on its record. He cited the various cost in- creases being faced by farmers and poted farmer's income has fellen far behind the prices he has to pay. "The present government's farm policy is to encourage the farmer to leave the farni,1! he said and added the Liberals had outlined no farm policy in the campaign to date. Commenting on the PC farm policy, Mr. Stanfield said the party had no magic solutions or easy answers. "One of the first steps we are going to take is to set up an East- ern Farm Bureau, having branch- es in the six provinces con- Members of Exeter council enjoyed one of their shortest regular meetings of the year, Monday. The session lasted for less than three hours. Councillors. Joe Wooden and Ross Taylor were absent, the latter through sickness. The council table took on a fur- ther beleagured look with Don MacGregor nursing a stiff neck and Ross Dobson resting his broken arm. Council learned there is con- siderable interest among local groups in holding a July 1 cele- bration along the lines of the event held during centennial year. The suggestion had been made last meeting by Councillor Geo- rge Vriese and letters were re- ceived from the Legion Auxiliary, Lions and Board of Trade prom- ising support. "Many of the girls showed great interest in such a pro- gram," the Legion Auxiliary let- ter stated. The Board of Trade promised support and a pledge of $100 for the day and the Lions also indicated they would provide financial support. It was also learned the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority had indicated interest and Reeve Boyle said Le- gion members had reported they expected their group to join in as well. cerned, it will consolidate vices And cooperate .clgsely with the provinces;" He said, the hureAti would be the voice .of the federal govern- inePt to,, work closely with WM organizations and the provincial governments. Mr, Stanfield said, the PCs would take advantage of the Po- tential of ARDA and woris with the ProviPeeS in the establish- rpept of national commodity cote, missions.

On the basis of the support, Councillor George Vriese said he would call a meeting of the interested parties as soon as possible to draw up a program for the day. Thieves enter lumber offices Thieves didn't play any favor- ites as they broke into Exeter's two lumber firms this week, al- though they didn't take anything• from one of them. About $12.50 in cash and some $50 worth of equipment was taken from Conklin Lumber in a break- in reported Friday morning. Entrance was gained by re- moving a screen from a rear window and forcing sliding wind- ows. Desks and two offices were ransacked. Included among the loot were an electric sander, a brace and a bit display. Police believe the thieves may have been frightened off after gaining entry into the Beaver Lumber Company office by breaking a glass in a rear door. Chief C. H. MacKenzie was assisted in both Friday morning investigations by OPP Constables Bill Glassford and Don Mason. MrJ Stanfield said his party was concerned : about the faCt that agrictiltUre SPPOKS with so many voices, through a .number of farm Prgenieetifelle and eP.Ple moeity groups. "We would like to encourage these organizations and co-ordinate their approach and their recommendations as much as PoSsihle,n he said. He concluded his address with en attack on the Liberala for not presenting their policies for the people of Canada to judge before the upcoming eleetipn, He said the pertiep and lead ers have an obligation to pre- sent their positions so the peo- ple of Canada would be able to make a judgment as to what party and what leader can best serve .Canada in the four years Ahead, "In this way, the exercise of the itdivieluel's, democratic fran- chise means something," he em- phasized.

Some teachers, not at their maximum salaries, will receive the basic increases in addition to their annual increment which in most cases is $300.4 In the latest announcements, teachers and school boards in Exeter and Usborne and Hay Townships have come to terms and each have exactly the same basic minimum wages with some differences in the maximum rates. Salary schedules for Huron Centennial 'school at Brucefield were released nearly two months ago while Stephen Township ne- gotiations have not been com- pletely finalized. The minimum salaries in cate- gory one are now $4,700 for Ex- eter, Hay and Usborne. This is an increase of $600 in Exeter and $700 in Usborne. Hay Township school board chairman Garnet Leitch said the increases would be roughly $800 for most of our teachers: "This is a little bit more than we had hoped to pay." While teachers in Exeter gain- ed considerably in the basic sal- ary schedule they also lost in fringe benefits. In previous years the local school board paid 60% of hospitalization and medical plans for their teachers and this was withdrawn during the latest negotiations. The $1,000 increases show in categories three and four in both minimum and maximums. Following are the complete salary schedules of Exeter, Hay and Usborne: Hensall lock dump gate Some steps were takenby Hen- sail council Monday night to im- prove conditions at the village dump in Usborne township.
