Fifty delegates met for two days to learn, discuss and exchange views, Rev.

Hammond Paving of St. Marys for $4,143.75. The two bids were actually equal with Lavis calling for two square yards more at $1.25 per square yard. Each of the aforementioned firms submitted identical prices of $1,377.50 to pave Municipal Drive. After considerable discussion, council decided to wait until a future date to do the Municipal Drive paving. As all drainage works on Queen and Huron Streets have been completed, paving will commence as quickly as possible. Commenting on the paving tenders, Reeve Orval J. Wassmann said "We are getting prices on paving now that were in effect in 1965. It's nice to see some contractors are trying to hold the line." Acting road foreman James Connolly was instructed to patch Ausable Road as soon as weather permits. On suggestion of Councillor Ivan Luther, small trees and bushes will be planted on the green area near the Bank of Montreal property on Highway 21. Officials of Southcott Pines Parkland Limited will be asked to notify the village when the subdivision's road repair work will start so the road water shut-offs can be raised.

No adult help was asked or given in the planping of the conference which elided with a worship service in Riverview Park followed by a banquet at the high school Sunday noon. GB parking — Continued from page 1 council by the delegation was why a program that made the village a good profit would be put out by lease and why council did not set the rates for parking. Village Council, Monday agreed to take over operation of the parking lot on the beach for the summer and set the rates that 'will be charged. The parking lot west of the driveway to the pier will be open every day of the week that weather permits. From Monday to Friday the lot will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a daily rate of 50c will be charged. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays the fee per car per day will be one dollar with open hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Voting on the motion to adopt the parking regulations and fees was recorded with Councillor Ivan Luther casting the only dissenting vote. Luther was in favour of a 50c fee for every day of the week. Paul Couse, spokesman for the businessmen's committee said Wednesday morning, "We are not satisfied with the latest ruling by council. We are contacting most of the people that attended Friday's meeting to get their feeling." Couse went on to say, "After Friday's ratepayers meeting we were told by Reeve Wassmann that the rate would be 50d per day, every day of the week. While some of our members were opposed to this, we decided to go along with council to get the thing settled." "We took him at his word and then find out Tuesday night that the fees had been changed by a motion of council," added Couse. Effective with the 1971 budget, the Huron County Board of Education has agreed that the final decision regarding order of priority in the purchasing of capital equipment will be left to the principals, as long as the sum total of such items is within the approved budget and does not exceed the $2,000 limit. At the present time, the principal prepares his budget and submits it to the administrative staff. The budget is reviewed and certain deletions are made. The dollar value of the budget is presented to the Board and additional deletions are recommended. The principal justifies, in writing, to the executive council the need for a particular item of capital equipment and the executive council endorses or denies the request. If approved by the executive council, the item of equipment is ordered by the purchasing department. Under the new policy, each principal will be advised of the items the senior administrative staff think should be eliminated from the budget, but the principals will have the final decision regarding the order in which the items approved in the budget should be purchased. John Broadfoot noted that the present policy regarding rental of school facilities to public organizations was too loose and definite guidelines were required which could be followed in the various municipalities in the county. He said that interpretation was different in different schools. The suggestion followed discussion on two resolutions presented to the county board by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture requesting that the F of A in Huron be permitted to use the schools free of extra charge and that "school facilities to be made available free of charge (except where a caretaker is deemed necessary) to any group of responsible taxpayers for purposes of meetings and recreation". The Board agreed to keep these resolutions in mind when a Revised Policy on Community Use of Schools is considered for possible implementation in September. Although Roy B. Dunlop, superintendent of business affairs presented a report on the Plan board — Continued from page 1 He said this would: 1. Help the Pentecostal church by sale of this property. 2. Help Exeter United Church receive betterpayments in shorter time. (The Pentecostal congregation bought the former Main St. Church). 3. Facilitate Mr. Whiting's business at its peak season. 4. Help keep an existing building from falling into dis-use and disrepair. 5. Provide another good source for municipal taxes. 6. Improve the appearance of the property by expediting the removal of a deteriorating garage on the property which Whiting intends to remove. Rev. Rhude concluded that the neighboring property (Reder's Florist) is a commercial business located in a residential zone and also that the proposed change would not bring commercial traffic onto a residential street because Main St. was a commercial traffic area. Planning Board member Jim Finnen explained to the two men that no one on the board had definitely opposed the request for rezoning when it was considered at the last meeting. He said it had been shelved , because there was not ample time to discuss it and members did not want to make a hurried decision. In addition, a planning consultant had indicated there was only a remote chance of the Ontario Municipal Board approving the rezoning of only one lot. Members were in sympathy with the suggestion and Bill Huntley noted no one wanted to HAROLD JOHN KELLERMAN Harold John Kellerman, 61, passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital , London, May 25, 1970.
