While the resemblance may fool some, the town hall is actually one located in Kil- larney, Manitoba, which is coming down to make room for a new, modern structure. The resemblance between the Exeter and Killarney town halls is more than a coincidence. They were both built by the late George Brooks. The Exeter hall was erected in 1887 and the Killarney structure was put up in 1909. The picture of the Killarney buildings was sent along by the publisher of the Killarney Guide, after a resident of that area, Elma H. Howey, told him it bore a strong resemblance to the Exeter town hall. Mr. Howey is a native of Exeter and is a retired druggist.

Waastnann added, "If they don't want to co-operate and start serving cans, we will be forced to pass a bylaw to stop the sale of bottles," At the same meeting, council passed a new bylaw governing the dates for nomination meet- 1Pg4 end eleg.ti9lle in .the ipalltY,4 The APY•fPylaw now allOws two Weeke between ttae np;n1.P, PtIPP clate and .election day.

A request from Wassmann that. road foreman Connelly be instructed to pick up papers on the parking lot at the rear of tbe Village Inn, which is owned by the summer resell reeve was turned down. The Reeye commented, "We need parking facilities in Grand Bend, I have it and I (1120 think it fair that I provide public parking, pay taxes and have to pick papers off my lot." Councillor John Teevins re- plied that if council were to approve such action, it would bring various requests for sim- ilar work on private property. Authorized clerk-treasurer Murray A. DesJardins to make the balance of payment of the annual grant to the Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $1,000. C of C mem- ber W. F. MacLaren appeared before council to ask for the balance of the grant. Instructed clerk Des Jardins to write the Chamber of Com- merce regarding the condition of the public washrooms in Grand Bend. Reconstruction is on schedule Reconstruction of Exeter's Main Street is progressing "a bit ahead of schedule" according to town wOrks superintendent Jim Paisley, who is'in charge of con- struction supervision. By early Wednesday afternoon the new water mains had been in- stalled as far as Sanders Street. Excavation will continue to Gid- ley Street and the new water main will be connected to the existing main. Work crews will then move back to Huron Street and excavate the west half of the street, also to Gidley and complete backfilling on the same side. Next in line will be installation of the storm drain from Ann to John Streets. After this, water services will be connected to the new main and the existing water main will be removed. Backfilling of the east side will follow to allow for plac- ing of a sand cushion and gravel for vehicle traffic. Paisley said the next step would be to-remer.45 the sidewalks on both sides of the street, but he declined to cotriment on how long construction to this point would take. The "bank inspector racket" was attempted in Exeter recently, but the perpetrators failed to get any cash, due in part perhaps to repeated police warnings in thiA newspaper a b out such rackets. Two elderly pensioners were contacted by a person on the telephone, asking if they had re- ceived their pension cheques. - The caller left the door open to make a further contact with the two men, but was apparently frightened off when he realized the two appeared to question his approach. The same day, an elderly person in the Goderich area was duped out of $250 and police suspect it may have been the same person who tried the racket in 'Exeter. OPP Cpl. C. J. Mitchell again asked this newspaper to point out that banks don't have any such inspectors who make con- tacts in this manner. "If the banks have business with people they ask them to come to the bank," he explained. While the attempt in Exeter Fire alarm on the blink Hensall firemen were con- cerned for a while Tuesday morn- ing that a firebug was loo'se in the village. On their return from a minor grass fire at Scholl's slaughter house, firemen heard the alarm sound again. This time it was found to be the fault of the fire alarm mechanism.

Town accidents reduced to one Main Street construction has slowed traffic through the town of Exeter and cut down on the amount of accidents reported to police. During the last two weeks, only one mishap occurred and that was in the yard area of Cann's Mill, A truck owned byLeo VanDon- gen, RR 3 Grand Bend turned too short leaving the mill and struck a car owned by Wallace Makins, Hay PO causing $100 damage. varied slightly from the normal procedure in such cases, the in- tent was the same. Usually, the "bank inspector" reports he is checking upon the honesty of bank employees and asks a de- positor to withdraw money to hand over to him.. There were indications the person who was working in this area was using the story that he was checking for counterfeit money. The latest fraud attempts in Exeter were investigated byOPP Corporal C. J. Mitchell and town police chief C. H. MacKenzie. The prim old lady was given the first glass of beer she ever had. After sipping it for a mtirh"entshe .looked up with a puzzled air. "How odd!" she murmured. "It tastes just like the medicine my husband has been taking for the last 20 years." .4 The, trouble wasn't corrected easily, either.
