Disease, insects
hit Huron crops •
The weekly crop report
furnished by the Clinton office
of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food contains a
warning to farmers to be on the
t* lookout for disease and insect in
some of their spring crops.
Slugs have been causing a
great deal of damage in corn
fields. At night they eat the
young corn leaves. Scuffling
corn helps cut down the slug
population.
• A disease problem has
occurred in several wheat fields
in the Kippen area. A specialist
from the University of Guelph
will be visiting the district today,
Thursday in an attempt to
determine the wheat problem.
Ag Rep Don Pullen said
• Wednesday, although the wheat
disease could cut production by
fifty percent in several fields,
these are only isolated cases and
not of a general nature.
— Continued from Front Page
Coles replied he had the right
to change his mind.
• A late-arriving letter allowed
Council to agree to supply water
to a village resident.
Council had been discussing
whether or not to supply water
to the property of the Green
Forest motel, owned by Leo
Hartwick, when a letter to
council was introduced and
solved the problem.
Councillors were critical of a
fire hydrant on Mr. Hartwick's

Arthur A. Nutt, Elimville,
formerly of St. Marys, passed
away suddenly at his residence
Sunday. He was 64.
Survivors include his wife, the
former Katherine Jones; six
daughters, Mrs. Archie (Betty)
Edwards, Guelph; Mrs. Harold

Hannah) Vanstone, Mrs. Jack
Margaret) Pennacchietti and
Mrs. Joel (Katherine) Sands, all

Stratford; three sons, Arthur and
Robert, both of St. Marys, and
Kenneth, Welland; one sister,
Mrs. Andrew (Verna) Hardie, St.
Marys; and 22 grandchildren and
one great-grandchild.
The body rested at the L. A.
Ball Funeral Home, St. Marys,
where the funeral service was
conducted Tuesday. Interment
was in St. Marys Cemetery.
Bicyclists may

property. The hydrant is on the
motel property and had been
bought by the owner.
Council was worried as to
whether or not a 17,500-gallon
swimming pool, owned by the
motel, might be filled with water
from the hydrant which is not
metered.
Reeve Orval Wassmann said
before he would agree to the
hydrant being hooked up to the
village mains he wanted
assurances the hydrant would
not be used for the purpose of
filling the swimming pool. He
also would want to know who
would use it. Who would be
asked to service the hydrant was
another question Reeve
Wassmann wanted answered.
A t this point road
superintendent Jim Connelly
arrived with a letter from Mr.
Hartwick stating he had
purchased the hydrant only for
the purpose of lowering
insurance costs on the motel.
The hydrant would be used only
for fire protection and not for
filling the pool.
A water line has already been
installed on a metered line, and
is being used to fill the
swimming pool.
Council then agreed to allow
the motel to be hooked up to
the village water supply.
Colin Love, plumbing
inspector, informed the council
237 permits for villagers to
connect to the water supply
have been issued.
Mr. Love said that of the 237
issued, 209 connections have
been completed; 12 not started,
seven started but not completed,
and nine permits have been
cancelled.
Mr. Love had applied to
council for permission to allow
the Lions ice rink and the fire
department to be hooked into
the village system without a
reducing valve to allow greater
flow of water.
Permission was granted for
both of these requests.
Council then voted a raise for
the members of the Public
Utilities Commission.
Commission members were
granted a salary of $275 a year,
and the chairman $300 a year.
In addition the members will
be allowed $12 a day while
outside Grand Bend on
commission business,
Commenting on the pay raise
Councillor Coles said, "We got a
raise this year, I don't see why
they shouldn't."
Coles, chairman of the fire
committee reported that his
group had met with the village
fire chief, assistant and captains
and had reviewed the fire survey
provided by the fire marshall's
office.
Qualified firemen will be
obtained to set up a training
program for members of the
Grand Bend volunteer brigade,

Exeter council Monday night
reluctantly agreed to deed more
area in Riverview Park to the
A u s a b le River Conservation
Authority and at the same time
decided to ask the Authority to
undertake four improvement
projects.
By deeding the land to the
ARCA, the work will be eligible
for 70 percent grants from the
Ontario government.
The land in question is in the
river flats west of the dam and
the work will include the
erection of gabion baskets to
stop erosion at the point of the
island between the two streams;
120-feet of gabions along the
south stream; planking across
the intake area behind the PUC
pump house and a new gate
mechanism on the north
wingwall which will curtail
flooding.
Total cost of the four
projects has been estimated at
$5,010. However, by deeding
the land to the ARCA and
getting the government grants
the cost to Exeter will be only
$1,285.20. The ARCA also pays
a small grant on the work.
Exeter's representative on the
ARCA, R. E. Pooley, outlined
the work and urged council to
deed the land over so more work
could be undertaken than
council had planned:
"We can get a lot more work
done for a lot less money,"
Pooley noted.
Council had previously
deeded the dam area to the
ARCA so grants could be
received on the work undertaken
there twoyears ago and
members agreed that this
appeared to be wise although
MIMOVROMMUalfaleNSOIN
(ED NOTE — Since the
meeting, we have learned that
deeding the area in question may
not be necessary. Because it is a
stream bank erosion control
project, grants could be received
without the ARCA having
ownership. Ownership is
necessary where park
development only is involved.)
MOM ,ff.M.MUlt mism
most were reluctant to give up
ownership of the land.
Pooley also suggested that the
river flats east of the park should

supports or braces will be
constructed on the road or road
allowance.
As well the milling company
will be responsible for all repairs
and for any damages during
construction or use. A $500,000
public liability policy will be
carried at all times.
The present agreement was
drawn up for 25 years.
Robert A. Keane, a
representative of the Union Gas
Company of Canada got final
approval of council to lay down,
maintain and use pipe in Hensall
for the transmission and
distribution of gas on, in, under,
along and across any highway in
the municipality.
This agreement will remain in
force for 30 years. Council is
also pledged to advise the gas
company of any new subdivision
plans within the municipality.
Keane said installation of gas
lines is completed in Centralia
and Exeter while the main line is
somewhere between Lucan and
Exeter.
An easement to run gas lines
south of the town hall and
behind main street businesses
was given. Keane said this was to
eliminate the need to tear up the
main shopping area each time in
the future that a business
decided to hook up to the gas
line.
In other business, council
learned that bulldozing is going
on at the dump; gave approval to
have the library painted
sometime this fall or winter; and
consented to building permits
for Bill Fuss and Murray Baker
to build houses, Cook Bros.

but no action was taken in this
regard.

Warn tourists
about rabies
The June 1969 review by the
interdepartmental committee on
the rabies situation in Ontario
was released last week by Hon.
Matthew Dymond, Minister of
Health, Hon. W.A. Stewart,
Minister of Agriculture and
Food, and Hon. Rene Brunelle,
Minister of Lands and Forests.
The committee reminds
Ontario residents and visitors of
the continuing problem of rabies
infection in wild and domestic
animals.
During the summer many
people will be vacationing in the
resort areas and visiting
provincial parks where the
opportunity to contact wild
animals is greatly increased.
It is a wise precaution to
avoid any contact with wild
animals, including any attempt
to play with, coax or feed them
by hand. In addition it is
strongly urged that all dogs and
cats be vaccinated against rabies
especially before entering resort
areas.
Should anyone be bitten or
scratched by a wild or domestic
animal, contact a physician as
soon as possible, and in addition
notify the local Medical Officer
of Health.
Vaccine and serum are
available free of charge through
physicians to treat possible
rabies infection.
Further information and
assistance may be obtained from
the Department of Lands and
Forests, the Department of
Agriculture and Food, or the
Department of Health.
Await report
from committee
• More than 200 farm people
from across the province decided
last week that the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture must
continue its present role in
serving farmers. The strong
mandate came from
representatives of county
federations, commodity
marketing associations, and
former county General Farm
Organization Campaign
Committees.
During the special OFA
Members' Meeting the
Federation Executive and the
former Ontario GFO Campaign
Committee were asked to act as
a striking committee to
recommend a new group which
will consider proposals for the
future of farm organizations.
Later OFA President, Charles
G. Munro, stated that "we will
be waiting" for their report. He
went on to emphasize that there
"is an on going job for us in the
Federation."
council still had to pay for the
maintenance of the park and
further development would
require additional personnel to
undertake the maintenance
work.
Past chairman of the ARCA,
Wellington Brock, noted that the
Authority charges admittance to
its parks to offset the cost of
maintenance,
Members of council
questioned whether the ARCA
would have authority to charge
admittance to Riverview Park
and Brian Howard, acting field
officer, suggested that the
agreement between council and
the ARCA should carry the
stipulation that no admittance
charge be levied to people using
Riverview Park.
This was included in the
motion presented by Councillor
George Vriese, but he also
included the notation that any
charges for park patrons would
be levied at the discretion of
council.
It was explained that council
may find it necessary some time
in the future to charge for use of
the park.
Some of the four projects
approved by council will
probably be undertaken this
year.
Members suggested that the
new gate on the north wall
should receive priority so it
could be opened to alleviate
spring flooding.
o, There is a gate on the wall at
the present time, but it was
constructed incorrectly and can
not be opened when the ice is on
the reservoir or when the water
is high.
In recent years the waters
have reached a height requiring
sandbags to be placed atop the
north wall.
