The proud parents entered the fray with no particular hopes regarding either sex, although there was a small leaning wards another boy. However, a name had been duly chosen for a female if such was the case. While most of the aforemen- tioned were naturally delighted (or so they said) that we had another boy, it is surprising to find that many people were almost passing along their condolences upon learning we had not been blessed with a member of the fairer sex, However, as we quickly point out, we're only beginning to dis- cover the ins and outs about raising boys, and who wants to start tackling girls at the same time, Brett's arrival was abit unique in the Batten family tradition. In the first place, he was de- livered without any assistance whatever from Bill Pollen, who has been mysteriously shunning us for the past month or so. We visited him at his cottage at the lake on Saturday, and while he expressed words of welcome in the usual fashion, he appeared to heave a deep sigh of relief as we departed. Shortly after, he packed up and returned to Mil- ton, no doubt fearing that some how he would get mixed up in the blessed event again and felt that the distance should at least provide some immunity to such possibilities. The latest arrival also showed less consideration than his broth- ers, arriving as he did at 10:12 a.m., Monday, when father should have been busy at the office. We're attempting to get back on schedule with a bit of mid- night oil, but if your paper does happen to arrive late this week you will at least know the rea- son.

Tom is among the grow- ing numbers of persons who enjoy digging around the countryside for colorful and interesting rocks which can be polished up to make beautiful decorative pieces of jewellery.

A rock is a rock to most people, but after talking to Tom we find that a rock can be a thing of beauty if one knows how to uncover that beauty. An indication of the growth of this hobby is the fact that a chap from the Southern States drove to the Ontario rally with a whole truck load of assorted stone and before he left, he again filled his truck with rock samples from Ontario to sell to 'rock-hounds' in his district. * * * A recent chat with Len Har- vey indicates the local taxi op- erator is experiencing some dif- ficulties regarding calls received for the police at the telephone answering service he operates. Len's service is for the Exeter police department, but on occa- sions he receives calls from people attempting to locate the Ontario Provincial Police. The telephone directory pro- vides the required information that when no answer is received at the local OPP office, callers should call the operator and ask for Zenith 50000 in an emergency. The message can then be re- layed to one of the OPP officers on duty. Len has no way of contacting the OPT' officers on duty and to call him for an incident requiring OPP assistance is a case of wasting valuable time. 15 YEARS AGO Ward Allen, 29-year-oldKirk- ton-born fiddler, won the all- Canadian chamoion Old Time Fiddlers' contest at Shelburne last week.

Last Week this newspaper carried news that a manufacturer of pre- fabricated houses. was COnaillg to the Centralia Industrial Park and another firm requiring the services of some 200 women was most interested. We trust that by now all women interested in seeking employment with the latter 'have submitted their applica- tions, but if they haven't, we certainly urge them to do so immediately. While there are naturally those who would want more details of the type of work and other information, it should be clearly understood there is no obligation undertaken when send- ing in an application, and if any woman has the slightest intent of seeking a position, she should forward a form to the Ontario Development Corpora- tion at Centralia. An indication of the growth being experienced in this area through in- dustrial expansion is evident in a study recently conducted for Stephen Town- ship. Statistics indicate the population of the township alone will swell by some 1,300 within the next 10 years or so. There is no doubt that other neighboring municipalities will enjoy some population increase as well. It is this fact which perhaps con- tradicts our aforementioned theme song, because there is no question but what a sizeable population increase will create problems for municipal of- ficials, especially in Stephen. Township and Exeter. To date, Stephen has not had any problems due to the fact employees working at the industries at Centralia have been able to find accommodation in the houses in Huron Park. However, this is quickly being filled up and in- dications are that people will soon have to look elsewhere for housing. This immediately shows the need 'for planning and Stephen Township council must be prepared to tackle this problem to ensure that growth of the It's an exciting time, in which we live. Change comes swiftly on the heels of change. Everyone is busy. Life is good. Yet in the face of a modern so- ciety with all its advantages for young and old, many persons are becoming more and more concerned about the lack of enthusiasm for community af- fairs. All facets of life in the small com- munity are falling behind despite the fact population and leisure time are on the rise. Most noticeable, of course, is the regrettable display of apathy toward municipal government and related ser- vices. At the same time, service clubs are finding it more and more difficult to recruit new members with a will to take their places as the backbone of the community. Saddest 'of all is the terrible strug- gle most centres have to supply good leadership and proper training for the youth of the 'community. Basics such as sports instruction, particularly in the rural areas, are You know, that postal strike wasn't all bad.

The proximity .of Centralia Village and Crediton also makes these communities potential sources of deg yelopment. However, in each of these -OM, communities, problems will arise less the required planning is under- taken to ensure that growth is orderly And that problems such as sanitation will not arise, In short, Stephen Township min- 01 needs an official plan and zoning bylaw which will pave the way to orderly growth. Because many workers coming to Centralia have already shown a desire to locate in Exeter, council here faces some immediate questions as well, While private enterprise must meet the demand, council must ie turn pro- vide the necessary services to make this possible, A sanitary problem is already hampering the development of land north of the river and council is faced with A decision -in this regard. And while some members complain about the ribbon-type development taking place to the east and south, they must at the same time be prepared to take the required stand to discourage this type of growth if in fact it is as much a detriment as they suggest. To complain about the situation each, time 'a building permit request comes up—and still approve the permit —is not solving anything. Usborrie Township council is also faced, with some problems in this re- gard and it would appear that a joint meeting between the three municipali- ties would be beneficial in regard to planning the future needs of this area. Those needs are already evident and the plans should soon be as evident if we are to avert problems associated with unplanned growth. carried out by an interested few on a budget often too limited to provide the necessities of the game.

Communities with a high percent- age of youthful troublemakers are very often the communities with an inade- quate recreational program for the young. Though parents are initially re- sponsible for the behaviour of their children, the community has a definite obligation to their children and teen- agers which is not being met in some cases.
