Two traffice accidents and a
breakin were investigated during
the past week by members of
the Exeter police force.
The breakin, at South Huron
District High School was
reported by Principal J. L.
Wooden when he arrived at the
school Saturday morning.
Entrance was gained by
breaking a window on the
second floor at the north side of
the building. Some books were
strewn around in Room 18 and
glass broken in several display
cabinets but nothing was
reported as missing. Chief C. H.
MacKenzie was the investigating
officer.
A total of $600 damage was
caused early Saturday evening
when an automobile driven by
Ronald Amerongen, R.R. 1,
Crediton struck a car driven by
Mrs. Dick Roelofson, Huron

The move wav'suggeste'd by -•
Cudmore, who pointed out there,
was• some complaint that the
nomination was held when
stores were open and
businessmen were unable to
attend.
Reeve Derry Boyle said the
change would end all the excuses
for not attending the meeting.
Council also asked Clerk Eric
Carscadden to prepare the
necessary bylaw to stage an
advance poll on the Saturday
preceding , the Monday,
December 2 election.
Local voters could end up
with a handful of ballots. If
there is a vote for all positions of
council, along with public and
separate school board members,
and the ballot for reduced
council, that would make a total
of seven ballots.
Some members doubted the
need for an advance poll, but
Councillor Wooden said council
should probably do everything
in their power to encourage
participation in municipal
elections.
There were complaints from
some residents last year that
they were unable to vote
because they were out of town
on the Monday.

Mr. Jack Malone, site

before council to ask of the
services provided by the
township for his residents as far

were concerned.
He was informed police

the Ontario Provincial Police
detachment at Exeter, the same
as the rest of the municipality.

summers. His business volume
was much greater because of the
family influence, he thought,
and added it was a more pleasant
kind of relationship all round.
It does seem that families
enjoyed the hospitality of Grand
Benders because Reeve
Wassmann advised that an
unusually high number of
visitors to the resort had booked
cottages and rooms for next
summer's season.
The quiet atmosphere was
maintained throughout the
Labor Day weekend too, with
police detaining only 33 persons
out of the throngs who lined the
streets.
Some excitement was raised
when a small sailing vessel
overturned and firemen were
called out twice during the
weekend.
In the first instance, two
Sunday boaters were taken
ashore by another sailor and the
boat was recovered about 30
minutes later.
Slight damage was recorded
at each of the two fires, one in a
cottage and one at a farm near
St. Joseph where a tractor was
ablaze.

Exeter council Monday night
passed a motion that a
recommendation be made to the
1969 council that the sanitary
sewer on Riverside Drive be
installed at the earliest possible
time next year.
The drains committee had
viewed the situation last week
and chairman Don MacGregor
advised that most of the septic
tanks in the area were draining
into the river.
He said the committee was of
the opinion the town could not
afford the work this year, but
that it be done next year.
Council were advised that
such an assurance was required
by the county health
department before they would
grant a permit for a septic tank
installation at a new house to be
constructed in the area by Earl
Campbell,.
The health department
v. turned doWn his original request
,because of the sanitary problem
there now.
However, MacGregor said
Campbell's lot was an ideal setup
for a septic tank and charged
that the health inspector had not
even looked at the local
jeweller's plans before he turned
down the septic tank permit.
The decision to make the
recommendation to instal the
sewer next year was passed
unanimously and it was
indicated that most residents in
the area were anxious to . have
the service.
In other drains matters:
Council agreed to have 640
feet of the open ditch on
Edward St., south of Huron,
outfitted with a drainage pipe
and covered over with fill from
the Main St. excavation work.
Cost of the work is expected
to be $2,000 with a sizeable
portion of that to be covered by

It was also decided to clean
up the "mess" left in a field
owned by Gib Dow after the
construction of the Pryde
Boulevard storm sewer.
MacGregor noted the matter
had been brought up several
times and suggested the area be
put back into shape.
"If it isn't settled tonight,"
Councillor Ross Dobson stated,
"I understand there will be a
lawyer here at the next meeting.
A local contractor will be
asked to have the stones
removed and the area levelled
and covered with top soil.
Councillor Ross Taylor urged
council to make sure such
situations do not arise again.
"When we let a contract we
should be certain the area has
been cleaned up properly before
final payment is made," he
stated.
