Lions sponsor daredevil team The Exeter Lions announced this week they would be sponsoring a performance of the Trans-Canada Hell Drivers at the Community Park on Friday, June 5. Proceeds from the evening will be used to erect a new bridge at Riverview Park. The one previously installed by the club was washed out in the July 24 flood. Headliners on the show are the Williams twins of London. Some area residents may recall when the two redheads put on roller skating exhibitions at Grand Bend. Turn down plea on reduced rate Members of the Exeter Saddle Club have again registered objection over the new rental fees set for use of the community park, but RAP members decided against any reduction in charges for the group at their meeting this week. Dr. R. W. Read, secretary of the Saddle Club, advised that the $25 and five percent of gross gate receipts were too much for the club to pay. He explained the club had a deficit in four shows held last year. "Their entry fees are apparently not high enough to make ends meet,' commented RAP Chairman Gord Baynham, Tom MacMillan wondered if club Members were golf players rather than horse enthusiasts if area golf courses would give them a rebate on fees. Derry Boyle suggested RAP write and tell the Saddle Club members "we're very sorry, but we have spent several thousand dollars on facilities and there'e no Way we call change the fee setup.

About one month ago, Judge Hays made a ruling on the streets in the residential area when he said they were public thoroughfares and therefore came under the jurisdiction of the HTA. Jack Malone, manager of the Industrial Park, explained that the gates at the industrial complex were manned at certain periods during the night for security reasons. On questioning from P. L. Raymond, defense lawyer, he said admission could be restricted if a person refused to state his business, However, he said such a situation had not been encountered. Mr. Malone reported that approximately 1,400 vehicles go in and out of the park daily and it was impossible to control that type of traffic. In his summary, Mr. Raymond contended that the roads into the area were not public roads because there were some restrictions on the freedom of use, He said that even if one person is refused admission thep the public does not have the abolute right to enter. He further suggested the Ontario Development Corporation could close the gate and the public would have no recourse. He said this was different than the streets in the residential area because there was no controlled access to them. Raymond also contended there was no authority for a 20 m.p.h. speed sign in the industrial complex and that there had been no evidence presented to prove it was a built-up area as defined under the ETA. Crown Attorney W. G. School Mrs. Marilyn Kunder, Seaforth, succeeded in her bid Monday evening at the regular meeting of the Huron County Board of Education to have all the county school telephone numbers listed in the directory, "Whether the principals approve or not?" asked Bob Elliott, Goderich Township. "Yes," insisted Mrs. Kunder. The board gave consent to Mrs. Kunder's motion. Dan Murphy, Goderich, asked why some school telephone numbers had been unlisted in Cochrane admitted access to the area had been restricted at times, but now the public was encouraged to use the area. the past. He learned that some principals, especially those working in a school where there is no secretarial help, were kept busy answering the telephone when they should have been teaching classes. The board was also informed of the system employed in Grey Township where the principal sends a letter home with the students informing the parents of the schools telephone number and advising them of the most convenient hours for him to take calls. Supporters of the motion to have the telephone numbers of all county schools listed concurred that parents should have concern for the principal's work schedule as well as the working hours of the school staff. At the same time, however, the majority of the board members agreed that the school's telephone number should be listed for the convenience of ratepayers and other parties who may want to contact school officials. Mrs. Kunder recalled an instance where a Huron County mother was concerned about her child not arriving home for lunch and was unable to contact the school to find out more particulars. Mrs. Kunder added that the mother had small children who could not be left alone while she went out looking for the child. Bob Elliott, who with Donald McDonald opposed ' Mrs. Kunder's motion, said that if parents really want to contact the school, they should travel directly to the school and confront the teachers personally, particularly if the school's telephone number is unlisted after decision by the principal and his staff. Gordon Moir, Wingham noted, "We deplore lack of interest on the part of parents — U n listed telephones automatically shut them out." DRIVER EDUCATION A brief report on the driver education courses offered in the five county high schools was set aside. The initial report showed a wide variance in the costs to students and the methods of operating the course at the different schools. Dan Murphy, Goderich, suggested that a much more detailed study should be made of the actual costs of the various systems before the board approves or disapproves any motions pertaining to driver education in the county. Recommendations in the report were that students be Dashwood lady receives award Long service awards were presented Thursday at Huron County Council's April session. Road crew members who received awards from county engineer James Britnell and road committee chairman Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith were: Harvey Bradshaw, Wroxeter, 25 years; Bob Edgard, Wroxeter, John Seers, Auburn and Gore Miller, Auburn, 20 years; and Bob Brown, Wroxeter and Tony Middegaal, Blyth, 15 years. A Dashwood woman, Irma Wein, also received a 15 year pin for services rendered at Huronview. Nurse director at aux iliary Mrs. W. M. Wilson, R.N., Director of Nursing at South Huron Hospital, spoke to the Hospital Auxiliary on the subject of 'Nursing Service,' She traced nursing back in history to 500 AD, through the middle ages, to military nursing which came into being in the 12th and 13th centuries. Florence Nightingale started the first training centre in 1860. Mrs. Wilson said the profession of nursing is undergoing a social revolution with all the new knowledge and techniques that are being developed. "Nursing service is a 24 hour job and it is the business of nurses to always satisfy the patient," the speaker stated. Mrs. Walter Davis introduced Mrs. Wilson who is a graduate of the Brantford General Hospital, She has nursed at Brantford and Westminster Hospital in London and came to South Huron Hospital about a year ago to take the position she now holds. Mrs, William Thomson thanked the speaker for her Address which Was given on National Hospital Day, May 12. President Ruth Skinner conducted the business meeting when it was announced the tour of Grades II and III children had been postponed until September. charged a uniform fee for the course; the classroom instruction be given by a teacher of the secondary school concerned, with night school rates per hour to be paid for this; and that sufficient licensed private citizens be engaged to give the in-car instruction so that all eligible students can be accommodated Roy B. Dunlop, business administrator, said he could ascertain the costs of the various methods of instruction and bring a report to the board at some future meeting. Chairman John Levis said it should be "an interesting comparison". Wingham undertaker Gordon Moir said that he has seen the results of bad driving too often and advocated that the cost of driver education to the student be kept as low as possible so that most everyone could benefit by it. Exeter court — Continued from page 1 friend were proceeding ai "substantial speed" on Highway 83. Thiel apparently got too close to the car ahead and ended up in the ditch. Noting the driver's age, Judge Hays said he didn't know at what age an awareness of the sense of responsibility in operating a motor vehicle can be expected. In other charges under the Highway Traffic Act, the following penalties were handed out: James Edward Jones, Exeter, paid $30 for failing to yield the right of way while entering Main St. from Sanders St. His car was in collision with a southbound vehicle. Defense lawyer P. L. Raymond noted this was a very, very bad corner as it was difficult to see oncoming traffic without protruding into the lane of traffic. He further explained town officials had suggested a traffic light was needed at the intersection. Peter W. Snell, Exeter, was fined $40 for creating unnecessary noise with his vehicle on April 8 at the corner of Main and Victoria Streets. David A. R. Gibson, Crediton, paid $50 for creating unnecessary noise near the intersection of Highways 4 and 83 on April 19. The court learned his wheels were seen to "spin furiously" as he pulled out of the drive at a drive-in restaurant. Raymond Bruce Rueger, RR 2, Clinton, paid $20 for failing to file a notice of change of residence with the department of transport. John Adrian Timmerman, RR 2 Kippen, paid $20 on a charge of failing to stop at the intersection of James and Andrew Streets in Exeter on April 22. D. J. Upland, CFB Clinton, paid $20 for travelling at a speed of 50 in a 40 m.p.h. zone. Dennis E, Morrissey, RR 2 Crediton, paid $20 for failing to stop at the intersection of Highways 84 and 4 on April 19. Gordon Melvin Lyons, RR 1 Lucknow, paid $30 for improper passing on April 12. He was involved in an accident when he attempted to pass another vehicle which was in the process of making a left turn off Highway 4. Medical sessions prove successfull Dr. G. P. Evans, Health Officer for Huron, stated in his annual report that physician sessions in high schools started last fall. These sessions are not designed for routine medical examinations but for referrals by teachers, public health nurses or self-re ferral by students themselves. In addition, the visiting physicians, who are usually family doctors, address groups of students in individual grades on various medical and health topics, examples being smoking and drug abuse. Dr. Evans pointed out there is evidence that these sessions are already serving a useful purpose. — Continued from page 1 He withdrew the amendment, but said it didn't indicate any change in his thinking, Councillor Helen Jerrnyn indicated she was mixed in her opinions regarding a debenture. She said she wished council could call on some financial advisors regarding the matter. "They'd confuse us," Mayor Delbridge explained, adding that council members had been elected to make the decisions. DEFICIT COSTS One of the main reasons for the sizeable increase in the mill rate was the fact council ended up 1969 with a deficit of approximately $20,000. This was brought about primarily by an increase in the costs of sewer and road work on Huron and Albert Streets and less revenue than had been expected in the reconstruction of Main St. Anticipated welfare expenses of $15,000 also contributed to the cost. The amount paid out last year was about $8,000 but indications are that it could be more than double for this year.
