He was citing the higher taxes being levied against homeowners in Crediton, Dashwood and Centralia as compared to the residential township rate paid by owners in other built-up areas, including Huron Park, Shipka, Mount Cannel, etc. Tax rates for the three Police Villages are set by the trustees that handle their municipal business.

The asphalt put on Huron St. between Main and Ceding last year is deteriorating. "It's starting to chip off and there soon won't be anything left but stones, "Mayor Delbridge explained to those who had not personally viewed the situation. Road committee chairman Ross Taylor advised that department of hig.hways engineers had looked at the road and suggested council take no action until samples had been studied by DUO. Representatives of the firms which worked on the project suggested the damage was caused by studded snow discounted council members that theory, particularly because no other streets had suffered any such damage. * * Works superintendent Glen Kells was asked to take dye tests of some drains running from properties in the Marlboro St, area. Several home owners in that area reported sewage backing up into their basements recently. Some members of council questioned whether these people were hooked into the sewers properly and recommended the tests in an effort to detect the cause of the problem. * * * Service clubs in Exeter will be asked soon if they are interested in assisting with plans for a centennial celebration in Exeter in 1973. Councillor Tom MacMillan, who urged council to have a committee formed for this purpose some time ago, broached the subject again. He explained that it entailed a great deal of work and if anything was to be done it should be soon started. Groups in the community will be asked to indicate any desire of assisting in the project If enough interest is shown it is expected groups will be asked to name representatives to a committee to start planning. * * * Councillor MacMillan also asked council to consider having Main St. washed and swept in the near future. Roads committee chairman r. Shop in church said permissible Exeter council approved five building permits this week, all subject to approval of the building inspector, Glen Kells. They were as follows: Hubert Schroeder, to replace roof of house at 19 Main; Charles Snell, to replace rear portion of house at 356 Carling; Eldon Heywood, to renovate house at 110 Main; Gregus Construction, to repair roof at 433 Main; Wilson Morley, to build a carport at 46 Sanders. Council turned down a request from Max Windsor to move a colony house onto his lot on Sanders St and for Keith Wilmhurst to erect a fence around the property at the Chuckwagon Drive-In. A request was received at the meeting for a ruling by council if the Pentecostal church could be used to house a clock repair business and a residence. The building is in a residential zone and council ruled that a light repair business could be conducted in such a zone. The church property is being offered for sale as the congregation has purchased the former Main St. United Church property. Bylaw stops peace festival The proposed Peace Festival, as far as the Parkhill area is concerned died early Thursday morning when McGillivray Council meeting in special session passed a land use bylaw. The bylaw which was given three readings and properly passed restricts the use of all undeveloped land in McGillivray township to agricultural purposes. Councils of the town of Parkhill and townships of McGillivray and East and West Williams met Wednesday evening to hear a presentation from Karma Productions of Toronto, sponsors of the event. After meeting a barrage of opposition at the meeting held in the Sylvan hall, Karma president John BrOwer announced in Toronto, Thursday that he had abandoned plans to hold his giant peace festival in this area. Brower's plans for the Parkhill site fell apart when Parkhill mayor Adrian Ansems told the meeting, the FBI reported "10 per cent" of the crowd attending a similar festival last year at Woodstock, New York was made up of "radicals", two or three per cent were on drugs and the nearby village of Bethel was left with a clean-up bill of $220,000. Grand Bend council was at full strength for the first time since the opening meeting in January, but one person was still missing. Clerk Penny Martelle was unable to attend after undergoing an appendectomy last week. Councillors Douglas Martin and Ian Coles brought council back to maximum capacity. Martin who tendered his resignation in January before heading for a Florida vacation for health reasons said he would return to his council seat on one condition. He said he would refuse to accept any remuneration for his services for the balance of the current year, One of the first items discussed by the full council was the matter of handling dockage rentals this year. In previous summers, a person was hired to handle the rentals for one-half of the monies received. Reeve Orval Wassmann suggested that the dock duties be handled this year by acting road foreman James Connolly. To this idea, Councillor Martin said, "Mr. Reeve, this is the smartest idea you have ever come up with, you should be commended," At this point, Coles interjected, "It may not be the smartest move you have ever made, but it is one of the smartest." Plans are being made to install about 1,200 lineal feet of new dockage in the river. While discussing dockage, Martin said, "I feel that the people using the river should pay for the services. When I drive my car on the highway I pay for every privilege I get." Wassmann agreed that the docks should gain enough revenue to carry themselves. Council learned through Ausable River Conservation Authority representative Ivan Luther that the ARCA had budgeted $30,000 for 1970 for continuation of the erosion control program in the river within the village limits. Payment of the regular 1970 levy to the Authority in the amount of $2,506.95 was approved to take advantage of a discount. According to communiques from the Department of Transport signs are available to control speeds on the river and these will be enforced by the Ontario Provincial Police. Reeve Wassmann reported that the final inspection of the water installation contract had been completed with OWRC and engineers in attendance. Checks are being made to determine if the 374,000 gallons of water used during the month of February was excessive. Contractor C. A. McDowell agreed to contribute a sum of $500 for road restoration. It was noted this move was not necessary. James Connolly informed council that construction of sidewalks along Highway 21 in the village would begin, April 13. In other business, council: Learned that a rabies clinic would be held at the Grand Bend municipal office, Monday, April 20 from 10:30 a,m. to 1 p,m. Also learned that only three persons in the village were interested in participating in a proposed first aid course, sponsored by the St. John's Ambulance, Were told members of the Mr. & Mrs. Tom Hall returned recently from a holiday in Florida.

In case after case, while gently relieving pain, actual reduction (shrinkage) took place Most important of all—results were so thorough that this improve- ment was maintained over a period of many months. This was accomplished with a new healing substance (Bio-Dyne) which quickly helps heal injured cells and stimulates growth of new tissue.

Hensall — Continued from page 1 the Bank of Montreal until debentures are issued; and doing the same to finance the existing water works system at an estimated cost of $16,500.00. Council also approved the Hensall Fire Department joining the County Mutual Aid System. The firemen will be paid $5.00 each per meeting plus travelling expenses for one car. In other business council approved a grant of $75.00 to the South Huron Agriculture Society but several members complained about the unkempt appearance of the society's barn and land. A building permit was granted to Peter Toornstra for the completion of a recreation room, and a letter of complaint was sent to an owner living in Toronto about an old, open cellar and tall smoke stack which council would like to see demolished. A great paradox of our era is the simultaneous emergence of the beatnik and the stainless-steel blade. MRS. EDITH GARDINER Mrs. Edith Mary Gardiner passed away at South Huron Hospital, Saturday, April 4, 1970. Mrs. Gardiner is survived by her husband Edwin Gardiner and a daughter, Mrs. E. D.
