Basically, the plan is a unified restoration program to enhance streets which have lost their charm and character through carelessness, thoughtlessness and haphazard development. With the aid of an architect, the good points on the store structures are emphasized and the bad points camouflaged. It is not a re-building, but simply a restoration and re-painting project. Overhanging signs are removed, decorations such as flower pots may be erected and the whole business block takes on a new appearance with each being part of the total plan, At Wednesday's meeting, Mr. Charles showed pictures of the Plan in Niagara Falls, including "before" and "after" shots. Mr. Charles warned that businessmen in small communities are faced with increased competition from city shopping plazas and within the next three to four years, the "sheep will be separated, from the lambs". He reported that in communities implementing the Norwich Plan, merchants have had business increases averaging 28 percent and have had the added advantage of improving community co-operation and pride. "In this day and age you have to show that you want business and care about your customers," he suggested. He said Exeter's proximity to the tourist area made it an ideal location to attract extra business by making the town a place people like to visit. After the meeting, some merchants suggested the project would be ideal to have completed in time for Exeter's centennial in 1973, but noted it should be discussed immediately. Chairmen for the meeting were Larry Snider and Fred Dobbs, presidents of the two local organizations. In his remarks, Snider said the Industrial promotion group had done very little in the past year, but were presently embarking on a new advertising campaign in an effort to attract new industries to Exeter. He was returned to the board of directors, along with Peter Raymond, Eldrid Simmons, Glen Fisher, Fred Darling and Bill Smith. New appointee was Gunnar Pind. Deputy-Reeve Mery Cudmore and Councillor Tom MacMillan represent council. Board of Trade president Fred Dobbs reported 1969 had been a "fairly good year" and several promotions by the businessmen had been fruitful.

Council plan district tour Huron County Council has given approval for the Huron County Board of Health to hire a summer assistant in the Public Health Inspection division. In his report, Chairman Everett Mcllwain noted this will not increase the total county budget over the allotted sum of $125,353. Stephen Township Reeve James Hayter wondered why the matter was even brought before council. "Under the circumstances," stated Mcllwain, referring back to the March session at which time, the health budget was drastically cut," we thought we should bring it to the attention of council. The executive committee has recommended that the names of Donald H. McKenzie, Ernest Snell, Harry Gowdy, Walter J. Forbes, Glenn Webb and Frank McFadden be submitted to the Department of Municipal Affairs as possible appointees to the Assessment Review Courts. It was also learned that the executive committee is planning a bus tour in June to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority and the Ausable Conservation Authority. Three members from each municipality in the county will be invited to take this tour and "to learn firsthand the function of the Conservation Authority". In other business, council: Learned that County of Huron Forest Agreement has cost $57,648.60 up until March 31, 1969 with $3,898.27 spent in the year 1968-69. Agreed to advertise all county employment opportunities in all Huron County weekly newspapers. Discovered that a Huron delegation which travelled to Ottawa seeking a solution to the closing at CFB Clinton were well received by officials there. A reorganization of the administrative staff of the Huron County Board of Education was approved in a committee meeting following the regular open session of the board meeting Monday evening in Clinton. It is understood the county will be divided into three sections for administrative purposes with each section to have a superintendent. A fourth Superintendent will co-ordinate the programs of study and planning. All four men will be directly responsible to director Given jail term for booze theft Michael G. Self -ink, 18, of Algonquin Drive, Huron Park, was sentenced to nine months definite and nine months indeterminate in the Ontario reformatory when he appeared in provincial judge's court here Monday, Seniuk pleaded guilty to two charges of break, miter and theft at Club Albatross in Huron Park April 12 and April 23. Fifty-five bottles of liquor and a small quantity of cigarettes were taken. — Continued from page 1 warn. on. However, we will have to review our whole budget and see what other commitments we have, before -we can state what council is prepared to do on the matter,?, Four other deputations visited council. Robert Baker, Jr. asked when the condemned chimney and old basement next to his property would be removed. He said, "My land is useless until that thing is down," He was informed that a letter had been mailed to the owner in Toronto regarding the matter but no reply had been received. Council agreed to send a registered letter telling the owner they would seek legal advice if the chimney wasn't down in a month. Gerald Flynn asked council for a grant towards the annual Victoria Day fireworks display which is sponsored by the fire brigade, and was granted $75.00. David Kyle and Gary Alexander appeared before the council to inquire if they would be given financial assistance in hooking up to the new Verlinde drain. They were informed according to a village bylaw each citizen is responsible for the drainage of his own property. The council was asked by Harry Klungel to repair the boulevard and sidewalk by his nursing home which he said was "in deplorable shape". The reeve assured him the Streets Committee would look into it. OTHER BUSINESS Utility man, Ernie Davis reported the new hours for the dump during the summer. It will be open Saturdays from $ A.M. to 1:00 P.M., and Mondays from 3:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. He told council members wherever the gas company had crossed streets the roads had dropped. Councillors agreed they were not happy about the situation and advised Mr. Davis to phone the contractors and tell him "we are desperately in need of repairs and it's up to them to fulfill their agreement." Tags have been issued for 43 dogs but there are still a few delinquent owners. The firemen's committee chairman reported a request from Queensway Nursing Home to hook up with the fire alarm system and reported the new fire engine is well underway and will likely be driven to Hensall later this month. Council agreed to pay Fire Chief, Dave Sangster, $20.00 per day while attending Fire School in Seaforth for five days. Reeve Oliver Jaques, Councillors Knight and Baker , will go on a County Council bus trip which will tour the Maitland and Ausable Conservation areas, June 22. Seek photos of graduates Within the next month, students from the district will be completing courses at various schools of higher learning. To record their successes, the T-A would be pleased to publish pictures of all graduates, as well as recording the names of all those who have completed their year at universities, teachers' colleges, nursing schools and institutes of technology. Most photographers who take graduation pictures are happy to supply glossy prints for newspaper reproduction. The size of these photos should be approximately one and three-quarter inches wide and three inches deep. Information included with the picture should list the particular training which the student has completed, as well as any awards won and what future employment he or she plans to follow. of education, John Cochrane. Janies Coulter has been named to co-ordinate the programs of study and planning; W.H, Knisely, F.E, Madill and one more superintendent yet to be hired will each have charge of a section of the county and will oversee schools in those areas, As Well, Roy B.

Hear report on tourism Tourist promotion is best conducted on a regional basis, according to information gleaned from speakers at the MODA Tourist Council session attended last week by Mrs. R. W. Read and Mrs. William Bentley. Mrs. Read gave Exeter council a comprehensive report of the event, Monday. She reported that speakers outlined the need for reserving larger areas for recreational use in view of the fact that within 10 years people will have more leisure days than work days. Speakers also indicated that people will become more interested in participating sports than spectator sports. Mrs. Read stressed the need for people in communities being hospitable, reporting that 40 percent of tourist promotion is based on word of mouth, In this regard, she registered a complaint about the fact the organizers of an upcoming Toc Alpha rally in Exeter had been asked to pay 25 cents each for street maps of Exeter. The maps were to have been given to the visitors to indicate their billet locations. Mrs. Read suggested the maps should have been given out by the town at no charge and she added the maps should also list locations of parks and other points of interest in the community, Councillor Helen Jermyn agreed with this suggestion and council decided to turn the matter over to the Exeter Industrial Development Commission. RC's budget is increased The Huron-Perth separate school board Friday night approved a $2,020,000 budget calling for an 11 percent increase in taxes. The budget, an increase of $263,000 from last year, will be offset by $1,685,000 in provincial education grants, an increase of $223,000 over 1969. A total of $305,000 in taxes will be raised in the two counties. Board business administrator Jack Lane said the tax rate structure for municipalities contributing to the board will be the same as that set by the Huron and Perth boards of education, with the exception of McKillop Township, whose rate will be similar to that of neighboring Hibbert Township. Separate school supporters in the two townships share three separate schools and the board felt, for this reason, that an equal tax rate was the practical solution. Main factor for the increase in taxes is a $219,000 increase in salaries this year, to $1,176,000. The two-year-old school board currently is in the middle of negotiations with the system's 150 elementary school teachers. County board — Continued from page 1 study committees are away from their classes. Mr. Cochrane explained that since the department of education is issuing only broad guidelines for the teachers to follow, it is deemed important for a course of study in the basic subjects be set up in the county system to ensure uniformity here. In other business: John Lavis was named to sit on the Huron Presbytery of the United Church of Canada committee to study religious education in the schools; Howick Central School staff was increased by a half teacher to complete the French program initiated by the previous board.
