MATTHEW FINKBEINER Matthew Thomas Finkbeiner, Stephen Township, passed away Saturday at Victoria Hospital in London. He was 52 years old. Surviving are his wife, the former Irene Frances McDougall; three sons, Randy, Richard and Ross, all at home; his mother, Mrs. Fred Finkbeiner, Exeter; and two brothers, Henry of Denfield and Ernest of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan. The body rested at the R. C. Dinney Funeral Home until Monday when the funeral service was held with Rev. Douglas Warren officiating. Interment was in Crediton Cemetery. Members of the Exeter Legion were pallbearers and flowerbearers. Pallbearers were Reg McDonald, Lloyd Reynolds, Bob Sanders, Stan Obre, Cal Cutting and Mark Whitney. Flowerbearers were Ted Pooley and Bob Cutting. A Legion service was held Sunday evening. A member of the Parachute Association of Toronto, he said it was the first recorded jump of its kind in Canada, The hazardous feat was performed some time ago by a skydiver in California. Two of the three men who jumped with Cole took photos of their cohort, while the third passed him the parachute on the way down. Another man was on the ground taking pictures. The Exeter OPP were notified of the event after it took place and turned the matter over to the department of transport. Littering is very costly There are at least 1,200 people who are very much aware that it is against the law to litter the highways in Ontario. They have paid the fines that prove it. These are the number of fines that have been handed out over the past three years at an average, of more than 350 per year. And these don't count the hundreds of motorists who have gotten away with just a warning. The fine for a first offence ranged from $5 to $50 and fines increase with the number of offences. A third time loser can have his licence or permit suspended for up to 60 days. If you're a litterbug who has never been caught don't get the idea that you are getting away with anything. As a taxpayer you still get to pick up part of the tab for the cleaning. Cleaning up Ontario's highways is an expensive business which in 1968-69 involved an expenditure of more than $970,000 by the Department of Highways. Motorists asked to be careful The Exeter police department urges the public to use extreme caution while driving on town streets this weekend with anticipated heavy pedestrian and horse traffic due to the Midwestern Rodeo. Proper parking is also stressed as in past years many private driveways have been blocked along with wrong side of the street parking. Police officers will issue violation tags to illegally parked vehicles and have the authorization to tow away any vehicles that may be impeding the flow of traffic. • • Residents of Grand Bend are making good use of the newly installed water system in the village. • At Monday's regular meeting, Grand Bend council was informed by the Ontario Water Resources Commission that 3,110,000 gallons of water had been used in the month of July.
