definite information within the

According to school records,
Coleman Moncur attended the
high school division of the
Exeter school from 1897-1901
al though his attendance
appeared to be "quite irregular".
Apparently Mr. Moncur's
father worked for James Pickard
in the general store business
about 90 years ago. His wife was
a sister of Dr. Lutz who was a
doctor and druggist in the
location that later became Cole's
Drug Store.
In the late 1890's and early
1900's, the Moncur family lived
at the corner of Carling and Mill
Streets and later moved to the
William Street residence now
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Smith.

needed accommodation at
Exeter Public School in the
coming years.
The meeting concluded with
parents visiting their child's
classroom and meeting his
teacher.
The more than 700 persons in
attendance at Friday night's
annual commencement exercises
at South Huron District High
School were told by
valedictorian Beth Cook that
"education should be restricted
to those who are, in a quaint and
traditional sense thirsting for
knowledge."
In beginning her address,
Beth, who was the top student
in the 1969-70 graduating class
said "this is my opportunity to
have the last word. Not only my
friends but the notorious
establishment will be at my
mercy for a few minutes."
Continuing she said, "Being
adolescent has always been
difficult, but today is
particularly difficult because the
world seems to be floundering
more visibly than ever before. In
reality, the human condition has
not worsened. Education and
communications have advanced
tremendously.
"Mankind has reached a
record level of awareness. Such a
situation need not inspire fear or
despair. Man's newly developed
superconsciousness is the first
step towards the establishment
of the Utopia that our
heightened moral sensitivity now
demands.
We know many things are
wrong. It is our duty to reform

ORPHA CLUB
The Orpha Club met Tuesday
evening at the home of Mrs.
Lloyd Ginn. Mrs. Roy Bariteau
conducted the meeting. Plans
were finalized for their annual
fall pot luck supper to be held at

Desjardine October 27.
PERSONALS
Pamela Brenner returned
home . from hospital and is
improving in health.
Mrs. Roy Bariteau returned

last week with relatives in New
York State.
Mrs. Mae Holt entertained at
a dinner last Sunday for her
family. Those attending were
from Co ru nna, London,
them. My generation is the
group which must prove itself."
Getting back to the education
theme, the valedictorian said,
"Our educational system must
increasingly foster the
development of each individual
as a unique and separate being.
Group activities should be
encouraged only until people are
confident of their capabilities.
People should know that
personal thoughts and actions
transcend those of groups
because they demand greater
self-awareness.
In order to prepare the
individual for a more meaningful
participation in our highly
demanding society, it is
necessary to stress history and
literature far more than we do at
present.
Again I say that man must
dream. The visionary man has
been responsible for every
advance made by humanity. If
man neglects his creative
processes, he will cease to
progress and will wallow and
perhaps drown in a sea of
discontent.
Man has always been
motivated by a search for truth
but the quest will continue only
as long as there is incentive
provided for his imagination.
There is always a better way
and tolerance, ingenuity,

truly, lead us out!
The guest speaker, former
T-A editor Don Southcott, now
executive assistant to provincial
treasurer C. S. MacNaughton
told the graduating students that
South Huron is one of the most
apathetic districts in Ontario as
far as an interest in politics is
concerned.
Reconstruction of Exeter's
Main Street has now been
completed, although there is
some debate regarding the
highway markings that have
been painted on the new
pavement.
Reeve Derry Boyle told
council this week he had
received complaints from some
residents about the markings.
It was reported that a solid
white line was painted up the
middle of the street from the
bridge north, while broken white
lines were then painted to
indicate that it was a four-lane
stretch of highway.
Councillor Ross Taylor said
he had been in touch with police
officials and had been advised
that under the present marking
scheme, it would be illegal to
park on any portion of the
highway. 4
"Most-drivers appear to think
it's a four-lane highway,"
Councillor Ross Dobson added.
Members of council were of
the opinion this should not be
so, in that parking should be
provided on both sides.
It was decided to write the
department of highways for
their views on the matter.
At the same time, council will
ask that reflector lights be
erected on the bridge.
The highway narrows at the
bridge and Councillor Taylor
said he feared some driver may
crash into the bridge some night
unless reflector lights were
installed.
At a previous meeting,
council had discussed the matter
of no parking areas south of
Highway 83 to accommodate
traffic merging into Highway 4,
but as yet no report has been
received on a study to be
conducted by the police
department.
At the meeting, council
decided to notify the consulting
engineer that the completed
reconstruction was satisfactory,
although members of council
failed to attend the final
inspection meeting.
The work was approved by
the department of highways and
council received a bill of $26 for
the inspection. Some members
were critical of this cost and it
was suggested by Mayor
Delbridge that the department
should pay 90 percent of it any
way.

At the International match held
near Lindsay last week, Paton

I NEW
FALL
SUITS
— Continued from front page
superintendent of education in
Huron County, claimed that he
was "very pleased with the
alternate full-,:lay program" for
kindergarten students in Huron
County.
"At this time of year there is
some tiredness displayed," he
stated, "but we haven't had any
evidence to say the system is
inferior to the half-day
program."
W. H. Knisley, another
superintendent, disagreed. He
said he had been involved in a
study of the two types of
kindergarten programs in
another area of the province and
there was conclusive proof that
students in the half-day program
had absorbed much more
throughout the year than the
youngsters who went to
kindergarten all day every other
day.
Mrs. McClure set one of her
"pet peeves" the amount of
money spent to equip and
transport one secondary school
football team for one year. As a
former physical education
teacher, she wondered at the
priorities of a board which
provided complete football
programs and skimped on the
program for kindergarten
youngsters.
Another member of the
delegation, Keith Gill said that
he had heard of one youngster
who would not be able to attend
kindergarten in Stephen
Township next year unless
transportation was provided by
the board. Gill said the mother
was unable to cope with the
problem of getting the child to
and from school daily.
"I think it is pretty important
that this item be included in the
budget," noted Gill.
Stephen Central's principal,
Don Finkbeiner was present. He
told the board that to his
knowledge, every child who was
eligible for kindergarten classes
was attending this year despite
the fact that parents are
responsible for transportation
one way.
It was John Henderson,
McKillop, who first questioned
the cost of the additional
service. He learned there were no
firm figures established as to the
cost of such a service if it was
implemented county-wide.
Gordon Moir, Wingham,
noted that in Howick Township,
for instance, one bus at the
noon-hour would not be
sufficient to transport the
kindergarten youngsters because
of the geographical distances. He
said the board would need three
or four buses.
Moir suggested that a cost
study be completed and
approved before any final
decision on the matter is
reached.
In other business, the board
learned that the proposed
subdivision plan in that town
