The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1970-07-16, Page 3 11111101111111 A large crowd gathered at the Goderich harbor, Friday, to witness the launching of the Hughes 48, the newest of the sailing yachts produced by Hughes Boat Works at Huron Industrial Park. Included in the crowd were several management and staff personnel from the boat building firm, as well as a number of Canadian dealers who were visiting the local industry. Getting the 48-foot craft into the water proved to be an interesting feat. It was transported from Centralia to Goderich on a large float, accompanied by two giant cranes which lifted the craft off the float and swung it over the side of the harbor into the water. Mrs. Howard Hughes then christened the boat in the time-honored breaking of a bottle of champagne. However, she had to take three or four swings before the bottle would break. The boat will now undergo tests and will be used for demonstration and sales purposes by the company. Over the side it goes Mrs. Hughes does the honors Safely afloat Invite you to join them for Worship, Fellowship and Services Tirows-Advocafii, July 16, 19 ro Pays for careless driving and leaving crash scene UMBRELLA COMES IN HANDY Some of the participants in the Missing Piece walkathon from Zurich, Exeter and Parkhill to Grand Bend Saturday made good use of umbrellas during the frequent rain showers.

T-A photo Will unveil area plan at Listowel meeting A Dashwood area youth, Joseph L. O'Rourke, paid a total of Vac) in fines when be pleaded guilty to two charges ender the Highway Traffic Act in Exeter court, Tuesday. O'Rourke pleaded guilty to careless driving and failing to Iteport an accident. The charges arose from a single car accident on June 20 In Hay Township. The court learned O'Rourke passed two cars at a high rate of speed and then went into the ditch, hitting posts and a mail box. He left the scene without notifying police of the accident, Judge Glen Hays levied a fine of $100 on the careless driving charge and a fine of $30 for not reporting the accident. The stiffest fine paid was the $150 levied against Michael DeVries, London, who pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while disqualified. He was involved in an accident in Usborne Township on June 21. A fine of $100 was levied against Peter James Groot, Zurich, who pleaded guilty to careless driving on May 30 in Drinkers pay — Continued from front page while under the age of 21. He was charged by Exeter police after being found at the Exeter arena on April 1 in an intoxicated condition. In another LCA case, Gilles Duperre, Exeter, was fined $35 for having liquor in a place other than his residence. DOG OWNERS PAY Three residents of Huron Park were each fined $15 for allowing their dogs to run at large, contrary to a Stephen Township bylaw. Paying the $15 fines were Neil Curry, Keith Lightfoot and Mary Desgroseilliers. Appearing to testify were Stephen Clerk Wilmar D. Wein and Dr. Dick Roelofson, Exeter, who acts as dog catcher for the township. Zurich. Groot was driving in the village at an early hour in the morning and ran into a hydro pole. Post reward — Continued from front page Councillor Torn MacMillan both members of the committee told of hearing complaints that swimming was being postponed when it was raining. MacMillan said he had people tell him "what's the difference if it's raining, swimmers get wet anyway? Recreation Director Alvin Willert was quick to answer this question. Willert said even a slight rain causes ripples on the water making it impossible to see the bottom of the pool. Department of Health regulations state that swimming must be discontinued when a six-inch black disc cannot be seen at a distance of thirty feet in the pool, Both members of council said they were not aware of this regulation and were glad to get the answer. At the same time, a complaint of swimming sessions not opening on time was also answered. Willert said, to the best of his knowledge the only time a swim session was fifteen minutes late in getting underway was when a youngster was injured coming down the hill to swim and the instructors were needed in administering first aid and getting him to a doctor for stitches. Youngsters from Hensel' use the pool each afternoon from one to two o'clock and this sometimes causes a delay of a minute or two in getting the local boys and girls into the water, Willert reported that attendance at all swimming sessions is up considerably from last year. So far this year swimming registrations have brought in a total of $2,265.20 an increase of over four hundred dollars from 1969. Open swimming receipts total $1,124 to date. Last year's complete figure was $1,851. Citizens in the area reported some horse play involved in the incident, In other charges under the Highway Traffic Act, the following fines were levied: Basil J. O'Brien, Clinton, was fined $30 for following another vehicle too closely. He ran into the rear of a school bus on February 26. James D. Watson, Parkhill, also paid $40 for following another vehicle to closely, He struck the rear of.a car making a turn at a corner in Exeter on June 14, David E. Phillips, Exeter, paid $35 for making unnecessary noise while driving in Hensall on June 14, Patrick James Prabazon, Huron Park, was fined $20 for failing to stop at sign before turning onto Highway 4 on April 24, Michael J. Ryan, Stephen, was fined $20 for driving a slow moving vehicle without an appropriate warning sign.

Dead animals — Continued from front page placed on probation and be required to have his premises inspected by a veterinary periodically. Photographs of the barn scene were shown at court and were described as appalling. Judge Hays told Mr. Marchand that if he were handing down sentence at the present Were would be a very heavy fine and possibly a jail term imposed. He told the accused to get a veterinary to the farm and destroy any suffering animals and have others treated and also to get things cleaned up. Judge Hays said he would pronounce sentence in September and the sentence will be subject to Mr. Marchand's care of the animals in the interim. The report has been prepared by the Regional Development Branch, Department of Treasury and Economics, with assistance from the MODA Council and numerous government departments and agencies.

MacNaugh ton announced this week that he will present the first of two reports leading to a plan for development of Midwestern Ontario at Listowel, Monday, July 27. Civic leaders throughout the region have been invited to the presentation, jointly sponsored by the Ontario Government and MODA Council. The meeting is open to the public. Provincial Treasurer MacNaughton will outline the highlights of the first-phase report on "Design for Development: Midwestern Ontario Region". The report provides a broad analysis of the opportunities and problems for growth in the four counties of Huron Perth, Wellington and Waterloo. In announcing the presentation, Treasurer MacNaughton stated: "I want to emphasize that this first report is not a plan so much as an assessment of activities and of regional opportunities, needs and priorities for development. It will outline basic growth trends of recent years and discuss social, economic and environmental prospects for all parts of the region. "After this report has been discussed throughout the region, we will proceed to the second-stage report which will contain specific recommenda- tions for government policies in the region. These proposals will be subject to further public review before they are submitted for implementation." District obituaries
