A great
way to go.
With 60 hp. the Corolla really goes, And goes for
an unbelievably low price.
The tough 60 hp. engine cruises easily at 75 mph.
And that puts the Corolla well ahead of any car in
its class.
But that's not all.
The Corolla goes with all the extras. A big 3-speed
heater, fully adjustable front seats, alternator, wind-
shield washers, double-barrelled carburetor, padded
dash and visors, and 4-speed syncromesh trans-
mission. You also get 40 miles to the gallon and a
car that never needs greasing.
All that goes for $189500

although it did result in some
lengthy discussion.
Mrs. J. W. Wallace questioned
Whether or not the board should
use its time to discuss and
approve non-teaching staff.
"This is a small item in
comparison to the whole
$9,000,000 that this county is
giving us to play with," observed
Mrs. Wallace. "We don't even
know what we are trying to turn
out. We are the soul responsible
body for what goes on in the
schools in the county. We have
to know what we want, how to
get it and how to know when
we've got it. The more we get
involved in these little things the
more we're neglecting our
responsibilities to this county. It
disturbs me. I hate to see us get
cluttered up with every single
little thing that comes up."
Policy concerning hiring
teachers was also tabled until the
next meeting.
The board did grant the sum
of $800 to three schools
Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels —
for the annual School Fair, this
year celebrating its 50th
anniversary.
Although there was
considerable discussion on the
matter, Gordon Moir, Wingham
reminded the board that the
same fair was discussed very
thoroughly last year. He said
that the fair is an institution in
that part of the county, and he
felt the board of education
would be very remiss if it would
not sponsor the event for
another year. He had hoped the
item would have been "hidden
in the budget," he said.
"It was just a matter of
courtesy that we were informed
of it at all this year," Moir
stated.
Members of the board also
concurred with a resolution
from the Carleton Board of
Education that school board
members be included in Section
10 (3) of the Income Tax Act
which permits municipal elected
officers, members of provincial
legislatures and members of
Parliament to exclude from
income tax one third of the
remuneration received from
these offices designated as
expense allowance. The Carleton
Board wants this same provision
extended to the honoraria paid
to elected school board trustees.
In other business, the board
acknowledged the resignation of
Mrs. Florence K. Brown, South
Huron District High School,
effective June 29, 1970; heard
an informative report on the
audio-visual equipment program
in the schools in the county
showing that since the secondary
schools in the county are
generally well equipped with
audio-visual supplies, requests
from elementary schools for
audio-visual equipment should
have priority over the secondary
schools.
Hay township
to get grader
At the latest council meeting
of the township of Hay, tenders
were called for the purchase of a
new road grader.
The new unit is to be
complete with a V-snowplow,
wing and bulldozer blade. A
trade-in allowance will be
requested for the present
machine and tenders are to be
filed by February 20.
Tenders were also called for
the supply of 22,000 cubic yards
of gravel for township roads.
The supply of warble fly
powder and the job of spraying
the cattle will also be let by
tender. The tenders for actual
spraying will call for a price per
each head of cattle.
Reports on the Thiel and
Jacobs Municipal Drains were
read and adopted and plans
made to call tenders for the
necessary work.
Deputy-reeve Lloyd Hendrick
was appointed representative to
the Midwestern Tourist Council
and councillor Harold Campbell
was named to the Midwestern
Regional Development Council.
Eric Campbell of Hensall was
given permission to sell a 15-foot
strip of land, 243 feet in length
for a right of way to Union Gas.
The land is located in Hay
Township, just south of Hensall.

A new club has come to light
at our South Huron District
High School, called the Outers.
What is it?
The South Huron Outers are
simply a voluntary group of
students interested in
participating in challenging
outdoor activities. Our
objectives are not only to learn
the survival and recreational
skills of outdoor living but also
to develop self-confidence, to be
able to accept responsibility and
to become both dependent and
independent of others.
It also gives us a chance to get
to know ourselves better by
finding out we can do things we
thought we could not do which
will lead us to attempt greater
and more difficult
Items of business handled by
Stephen township council this
week concerned road work.
A bylaw was passed setting
the 1969 regular road
expenditures at $135,500. Of
this amount, $43,000 is to be
spent on new construction with
$ 92,500 allocated for
maintenance.
Last year's regular bylaw was
for $128,500. The extra $7,000
is allocated for construction
with one of the projects being
completion of the Pollock
Bridge near Grand Bend.
Newly appointed Road
Superintendent Frank McIsaac
was instructed to call for tenders
for hauling and spreading of
22,000 cubic yards of gravel
from the stockpile at Sillery's Pit
in Usborne township.

Our first outing took us to
Devil's Elbow Sunday, February
1st. Some members were unable
to attend; however, abOut
twenty of us did show up. We
left the school that afternoon at
about 3 o'clock by car, with Mr.
Wooden, Mr. Elliott and the wife
of our "Great White Leader"
(Mrs. Mills) driving.
On arrival we unloaded our
equipment and tramped through
knee-hi snow, over logs and
across streams to our campsite.
In small groups we set out, to
find a suitable, level piece of
ground on which to set up camp.
Next, came the task of
making ourselves a shelter. Snow
had to be packed down and long
limbs had to be found to
support our large sheet of canvas
or plastic which served as our
program by Dr. Fielding and the
Ontario Department of Lands
and Forests at part of Lot 20,
Concession 18.
Reeve Hayter was
re-appointed to handle all
industrial contacts for the
-township and Deputy-reeve
Dietrich is the representative to
the Ontario Farm Drainage
Association.
Dear Sir:
Since this is my last week as
Superintendent Engineer for the
Town of Exeter, I would like to
take this opportunity to thank
the Councils, present and past,
and the citizens of the town for
the cooperation shown to me
during my seven years with the
Town of Exeter.
It may be of interest to the
people of Exeter to know that
during these past seven years the
following new construction has
been earned out.
(1) 2.95 miles of street
reconstructed and paved.
(2) 5,25 miles of Sanitary
sewers were installed.
(3) 3.75 miles of Storm
sewers were installed.
(4) 1.20 miles of sidewalks
were reconstructed.
The total cost of this work
was approximately
$1,051,800.00.
It has been my pleasure to
have assisted in some way in this
part of the town's progress and
development.
As of February 16, I have
accepted a new position with the
Engineering Department of the
Town of Wallaceburg.
My wife and I extend our
best wishes to the Town of
Exeter for continued progress.
Yours sincerely,
James Paisley

shelter. For a floor, one group
laid down cedar boughs with a
ground sheet over top. Others
had just the ground sheets.
By the time we had our
shelter set up, it was getting dark
and colder so we made a
campfire and ate supper.
Now there was only time to
kill, so we all got together
around a campfire to sing songs.
Our "Great White Leader" and
Dan Shoebottom accompanied
our songs with their harmonicas
while our outstanding vocalist
John Godbolt kept us on key.
We also told jokes and stories,
one of which was the story of
the "Three Piddle Ligs" again by
our "Great White Leader.
Soon it was time to turn into
our nice, cold beds and attempt
to get some sleep. For some it
was sheer heaven, but for most
the cool dampness of the snow
seeped into our sleeping bags
and kept us awake most of the
night.
By 5 a.m. we were all up and
around the fire getting warmed
up and eating breakfast except,
of course, our Great White
Leader who slept in until about
6 a.m.
