Book lending on increase The number of books circulated in the county during the month of May was up over the same month in 1969, reported Walter Sheardown, library board chairman, at the June session of Huron County Council. Last year 28,179• books were circulated in the county during May. This year, 29,042 books were circulated. A 1971 Fargo Sportsman wagon has been ordered for the library at a cost of $4,008.40. As well, the board has authorized that body work in amount of $200 be carried out on the present bookmobile. Library rent was increased in two municipalities at Walton from $50 to $60 per year; and at Wingham from $75 to $100 per month. The County Development Committee recommended to county council that since Huron is committed to MODA for 1970 and in view of the fact that R. S. Cummings has been engaged as development officer for a period of one year, the firm of T. E. McLaughlin Development Associates Ltd. should not be engaged. G. A. Archibald, administrator at Huronview, told council that the present numberof residentsat the home totals 262. There was some discussion on adjustments to the heating system at Huronview. It was noted that a professional engineer had looked at the job and estimated a cost of $4,000 to put it right. A heating contractor was engaged to make the adjustments and the actual cost will be about $700. "That's about the way professional engineers work," observed one councillor. The report of Miss Clare McGowan dealt with the problems of child care. It showed that at times it is difficult to know where the line should be drawn between welfare work and CAS care. Jack Alexander, Wingham, told council that from Miss McGowan's report he could see that welfare and children's aid work should be handled by one department. As it was her last report to council prior to her retirement this fall, Miss McGowan was presented with a gold bracelet inscribed with the county crest. Work is proceeding on or ahead of schedule on the construction of the deck on the Benmiller Bridge, Huron County Council learned Friday at its June session. All the deck formwork is now complete and the steel placing operation has commenced. There are some 142 tons of reinforcing steel to be placed in the deck before the 542 cubic yards of concrete are placed. "We expect to place this concrete in two working days commencing about July 6," said county engineer 13ritnell. "The concrete will be placed with a Bidwell Beck Finishing machine which assures a proper grade and finish to the deck which will not be paved. This is by far the largest structure ever undertaken by Huron County forces and we are quite proud of it." Work has also commenced on Sharp's Creek Bridge No. 3 located some three or four hundred feet north of the Benmiller Bridge in Benmiller. Construction at a third site in Benmiller has been delayed due to the fact that the supplementary by-law has not as yet been approved. Winter control expenditures to date for the year 1970 total $113,752.25 compared with $122,925.78 for the same period The Editor, Exeter Times-Advocate, Exeter, Ont. Dear Sir, This letter is written as a reply to Mr. Bill Gilfillan's letter of May 28 concerning non-returnable bottles. Some of the points he made are good and cannot be argued. Others however are open to question. He points out that the soft-drink industry is trying to find ways to increase the sale and return of returnable bottles. Why not raise the deposit to such an extent that the consumer cannot afford to throw the bottle away? Granted, this would not solve the litter problem but I feel it would cut down on the number of bottles being discarded in undesirable places. The term "consumer demand" I feel is a bit strong. It is generally cheaper to buy pop in returnable bottles than in non-returnable bottles. A six-pack of pop in returnable bottlescosts 59c+ 3c+ 12c deposit. A six-pack of pop in non-returnable bottles costs 69c + 3c tax. (These are Waterloo prices). By buying returnable bottles the consumer saves 10c. Of course, some consumers will always demand disposable containers and bottles will be thrown away whether they are returnable or non-returnables. However in the past the consumer has always had the choice of returning the bottles for the deposit. Now in many large urban centres, especially in supermarkets (as opposed to the corner variety), this option has been removed. For instance, it seems that Dominion stores make it their policy to stock only non-returnable bottles. So apparently consumers have "demanded" that they no longer have the choice of buying the pop in returnable containers and making a saving. In addition, many stores will not pay refunds on returnable bottles, making them, in effect, non-returnables. Finally, if the demand for non-returnable bottles is so high, why did The Glass Container Council of Canada spend $5.2 million in one year to promote non-returnable bottles? It is commendable that The Glass Container Council of Canada is promoting research into uses for disposed glass. I have in front of me a brochure put out by the G.C.C.C. listing some of their projects. All are in the research and experimental stage; none have been developed to such an extent that they are being put into practice. In other words glass in 1969. This is a reduction despite an increase in hourly rates and rental rates paid. Total expenditure in 1969 for winter control was about $184,000. This was the highest winter control cost to date. Five new pick-up trucks will be purchased at a cost of $11,287.50; two 27,5000 GVW trucks at $14,798.70; and one automobile at $2,473.28. Close to 100 persons from Exeter and district attended the latest Red Cross Blood Donors clinic held at the Exeter Legion Hall during the second week of June.

Both Jim and his wife, Bonnie, are interested in Sports activities and in meeting with people in Huron County. Pollution is a big thing. It's in the front pages almost every day. Why doesn't the soft-drink industry cash in on the free advertising? Bottle your products in returnable bottles and tell the public why. In conclusion, I disagree with your statement saying a ban on a specific package would be an unsatisfactory solution. True a ban on non-returnable bottles would not solve the entire disposal problem, but it would be a start. The problem will not be solved overnight. Even The Glass Container Council of Canada says that there are few "scientific breakthroughs". Major problems are solved bit by bit. The non-returnable bottles are useless and a nuisance and until an efficient disposal system is developed, they should be banned. Sincerely, Jim Carscadden Accidents — Continued from page 1 Highway 83 about a mile east of Highway 21 and while in the process of making a U-turn, struck a highway sign. Damage was listed at $300 by Constable E.C. Wilcox. During the past week, the local detachment officers charged 15 persons under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another 46 drivers. There was one charge under the Liquor Control Act.

The 1071 reunion will be held the last Sunday in June at the Exeter Parke Jim and Monnie Herr will be in charge of sports program. — Continued from page 1 McCauley. said he didn't expect the girls would stay in the water long because of the cool temperatures and related that most of the time they were "puddling around". He said a wind developed from the east and while he was walking along the beach, noticed one of the girls in trouble. "Everything from then on is rather muddled," he said. The girl in trouble was Janet Guenther, and Sandy Thompson, Grand Bend, attempted to assist her, However, Sandy got into trouble herself and Geraldine managed to get her out. Geraldine went back to get Janet and McCauley, a non-swimmer, waded into the water to chest depth in an attempt to help the two girls. When he realized he could not reach them, he told Kathy Ryan to try and help, but she couldn't cope with the two drowning girls. McCauley said Darlene Porter then yelled to Kathy to get back from them because she too would be pulled in. At this point, McCauley jumped into his car and raced back to camp and asked McClure for three boys who could swim. One of the boys, Tom Travers, dove into the water until he was exhausted, finally being advised to not dive any more by Mr. McClure. McCauley said he felt the girls were carried by the wind into the deep water. "That's the only explanation I can think of," he said. He testified he couldn't understand how the wind could move the girls, although he said it was probably a combination of the fact they were playing around and did not realize they were drifting into the deep water. He told the jury he didn't have the presence of mind to think of all the things that could possibly have been done to help rescue the girls. There were many, many "ifs", he related. When asked if the safety provisions now made by the ARCA had been sufficient, he said he was least of all the persons to be consulted with in matters of water safety. "A person expert in water safety should be consulted," he answered, adding that bodies involved in educational programs of this nature should take more cognizance of water safety procedures. GIRLS TESTIFY The three girls on the swimming outing testified and their evidence indicated some confusion about who was helping who. Darlene Porter, who has an intermediate Red Cross swimming badge, indicated she thought at the time it was "kind of cold to be swimming". She was the last of the four to get wet and related how she helped Sandy Thompson get back to shore. She said the wind kept pushing the girls away from shore and it was "really cold". Sandra Thompson, the first girl to get into the water" described it as chilly, but said after she got wet it wasn't too bad. The Grand Bend girl said she was just about to get out of the water when Janet got into trouble and was struggling in the water about five feet away from her. Sandra, who described herself as a weak swimmer, said she realized she couldn't help the Shipka girl and that she too fell into a hole. Geraldine, who was about 15 feet away, swam to her, although the Thompson girl said she couldn't remember being helped to safety. She said Geraldine, whom she also described as a weak swimmer, went out to Janet and both girls went under. Sandra said she thought after of tying towels together to try and reach the girls,` but it was all over then". She also opined there wasn't anything else McCauley could do, other than what he did. The arand Bend girl reported, she recalled McCauley advising them of the post marking the beach area and advising the girls not to go over in that direction. The 'Other girl, Kathy Ryan, hadn't taken her swim suit and reported she was "cold just sitting on the beach reading". She told of swimming out to try and help the girls and said that at the time McCauley was standing up to his shoulders in the water trying to reach the girls. DIVERS CALLED The two OPP divers called to recover the bodies testified and indicated that the reservoir terrain dropped off at a 45 degree angle into the hole where the girls went down. Constable John McKee, Dutton, said water temperatures below 60 were too cold for swimming. However, he said it wasn't too bad in the sand beach area, but only in the deep holes where depths were from 10 to 15 feet. He found the body of one of the girls on the morning after the tragedy east of the marker at the beach about 30 feet off shore. The water in that location was about 10 feet deep. His cohort found the other body in the same general area. GO OD PROGRAM SHDHS Principal J. L. Wooden told the jury this was the sixth or seventh year such an outdoor educational program had been conducted by the school, although this was the first year the Parkhill location had been used. He said many staff meetings had been held to plan the curriculum and he said he thought the teachers were generally agreed there would be no swimming. He said it was his feeling there would be no swimming, primarily because of the early date of the outings. However, there was no absolute statement forbidding swimming. "It was a first class program, and I continue to be of that opinion," he told the jury. In fact, he said, it was the best program of its kind in this part of Western Ontario due to the organization preceding it and the personnel involved such as Mr. McCauley. "What happened is something I can't explain," he said. "It was a freak experience and couldn't be anticipated in the planning of the program". Final witness called was ARCA chairman Bill Amos, who said he expected the outdoor education program at Parkhill would be continued. He indicated two life preservers are now erected at the beach area, the swimming zone has been marked with buoys and ropes and that signs have been erected telling of the deep water near the beach area. "Our big problem is vandalism," he said, reporting that the buoy ropes were cut at least twice last season and the two warning signs had to be replaced at least three times. About 45 owners and trainers put their dogs through their paces Sunday afternoon at Picnic Trials for Retrievers at the Morrison Dam, Sunday afternoon. The event was sponsored by the South Western Ontario Retriever Training Club which has members from Michigan and all over Southwestern Ontario. There are 11 Picnic Trials during the season when the winning dogs are given ribbons. The dog gaining the most points by the end of the series receives a trophy. There are three classes: Puppy, Amos concluded that if a swim Program was to be included'with the educational venture, the need was evident for the best Posaible facilities for prevention of tragedies such as the type of May 14. Foreman of the jury was Shirley Niblock, RR 2 Parkhill, while othermernbors were: Helen Rompf, RR 2 Parkhill; Morley Pollock, RR 5 Parkhill; Anthony Willemse, RR 4 Parkhill; Glen Nethercott, RR 2 Parkhill, Dedicate colors — Continued from page 1 He asked his listeners to recall the times when their own fathers had wondered "if the youngpups would ever amount to.anything?" "I think we fellow pups did fairly well and I'm sure this younger generation has the same potential to rise to the occasion when the chips are down." He said as the colors were rededicated it was a good time for each person to rededicate himself so that when the score is counted each will not find himself lacking in the balance. "The men who died in service where part of a team to which you and I belong. They broke the trail to make things a little easier for us. We must not break the faith with them." After the church service the World War I veterans joined 300 other veterans in a parade, led by the Royal Canadian Legion Band of Exeter to the cenotaph where a wreath was laid in memory of the 161st battalion by George Ingles, service bureau officer for Legion Zone C. Following the parade, the former members of the Battalion spent a social hour at the Exeter Legion Hall as guests of the R. E. Pooley branch. Teachers detail `a routine day' . _ At the final meeting for the season of the Association for the Mentally Retarded, nursery school teachers, Mrs. Lawrence Wein and Miss Ella Morlock outlined a routine day for the children attending Huron Hope Nursery School. With the use of a tape recording they illustrated how the children are taught to take part in many activities. They reported taking the children to the Pine Ridge Zoo, exploring the out-of-doors and forming a rhythm band. Mrs. Gerald Godbolt introduced the speakers to the meeting and they were thanked by Raymond Hartman. Mrs. James Scott outlined the activities at the Huron Hope Day School. Mrs. Carfrey Cann reported the net proceeds from the Flowers of Hope canvass was $1,818.90, proving the door to door blitz more profitable than sending the envelopes through the mail. The Association will have a miscellaneous booth at the Exeter Fall Fair. Junior and Open (all ages). Puppies must make two land retrieves and one over water. Junior dogs move up to 2 marked land retrieves and one over water and in the Open Class the dogs are required to carry out two marked and one blind retrieve on landand three marked retrieves and two blind ones over water. They must also honor, that is, sit and watch another dog make the retrieve of the duck without attempting to go after it themselves. The older, well trained dogs put on a spectacular show, especially during the blind retrieves when they are completely dependent on their trainer's signals to find the duck. The winning dog of the Open Class for the local event was owned by Frank Fleet, London. Dr. R. F. Roelofson, a member of the club had two young dogs in the junior class. TirroisAdvecato, July 21 1970 .F400 3, „ . Inquest into drownings Winter control expenses reported down in Huron Ag engineer is appointed Jim B. Arnold was recently appointed to succeed Mr. Bert Moggach as Agricultural Engineer for -Huron County. Mr. Moggach was promoted in January to the position of Area Co-Ordinator and Farm Management Specialist for the Counties of Bruce, Grey, Dufferin, North and South Simcoe.

His father served with the Canadian Finites ti for thirty-three years until his retirement in 1970, Jim received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural from bottles still must be disposed of in the age-old dumping methods. Certainly used glass can be used. However it is not economically feasible for companies needing the used glass to separate it from the other garbage. Glass companies sell all their scrap and rejected glass to supply the demands for unwanted glass. Thus there is no use for used bottles. Until there is a use for them they should not be allowed. In the meantime we are being inundated with literally millions of disposable bottles each year. It may be agreed that many other foodstuffs such as pickles, ketchup, etc. are packaged in disposable bottles. This is true and there is no reason why such food could not be bought in returnable bottles. Yes, the price would probably go up to cover handling but we have to pay the piper some time — better now than later. However, buying pickles in non-returnable bottles does not seriously cause a litter problem — few people take a carton of pickles on a picnic. You may have noticed, Mr. Gilfillan, that I have not said too much against the soft-drink industry. I have a reason. I feel that people will always buy your pop no matter how it is packaged. The problem lies in the supermarkets and with the bottle manufacturers. Supermarkets save vast amounts of money each • year by not handling bottle returns. It is obvious why bottle manufacturers like disposable bottles. Many from area give pint of blood Retrievers perform at Morrison trials
