EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH 187 Huron St. West, Exeter, 200 PORK CHOPS! Darlings IGA MAIN ST. EXETER Municipal scene Liberal group By Olga Zemitis Have you ever imagined what it would be like to paddle down a river in a canoe, the way the voyageurs did a few centuries ago? Well for some students of S.H.D.H.S. this became reality. On Saturday October 31, eighteen South Huron Outers and their leaders Mr. Carl Mills and Mr. Jack Riddell set out on an over-night campout. Objective — to paddle down the Saugeen River from Hanover to Walkerton and on to Paisley. Nine South Huron canoes and one guide canoe pushed off from a small town just outside of Hanover. For some of the students it was only their second or third time in a canoe. But after such tests as accidentally "shooting" the The funeral was held from the Harper Funeral Home, Watford, November 9.

Elgin Thompson who is completing his ninth year Reeve of Tuckersmith township told the T-A Wednesday afternoon, the matter of any changes for nomination had not been discussed as yet by his council. Speaking only for himself he said, "If any of my present outwil wanted to step up I wouldn't oppose them but if not I would be willing to run again, Completing the Tuckersmith slate are Deputy-Reeve Alex McGregor and Councillors Irwin Sillery, Ross Forrest and Cleave Coombs. Hay township Reeve Joseph Hoffman reported after polling his council at the last regular meeting that all were willing to return for another two-year term. Other members of the Hay council are Deputy-Reeve Lloyd Hendrick and councillors Harold Campbell, John Tinney and Lionel Wilder. EZetrat There'll be at least two vacancies to fill on Exeter council this year, and as yet no replacements have publicly come forth. Deputy-Reeve Mery Cudmore reported this week he would not seek re-election to the post he has held for the past four years. The other vacancy was created by the recent death of Councillor George Vriese: Cudmore indicated that the work involved in attending the county council sessions at Goderich was just too great, tie explained he has spent about 20 days on county work this year "and that's just a little too much". Onlyone member of council has indicated any thought of filling Cudmore's post. That's Don MacGregor, who has been on council for the past five years. He told the T-A he would consider stepping up if there was a vacancy. At any rate, he'll be a definite candidate for a position on council, he reported. The only other "definite" candidates are Mayor Jack Delbridge and Councillors Tom MacMillan and Helen Jermyn. The latter two are finishing their first two-year terms. Both indicated they're just learning the business and would hope to make more significant contributions with more experience. Mrs, Jermyn reported she's enjoyed the work, and while she would consider stepping up in the future, feels she needs more experience. She also expressed a desire to have another woman on council, although she said she hasn't heard any distaff ratepayer express any interest. Mayor Delbridge, completing his sixth year, indicated he would relish having to contest his position at the polls. He's been acclaimed for three terms, after he handily won council seats in two elections. He explained that an election would at least let him know if the ratepayers wanted him, although he added he has not heard of any contenders. Reeve Derry Boyle is undecided about his plans, but listed three choices — to retire, run for mayor or reeve. He too is completing six years as reeve and has never had to fight an election. The popular sports enthusiast said he wouldn't run against Mayor Delbridge in a two-way fight, but might consider a three-way race if someone else stepped into the ring. Although he admits to being a little tired of the work at county council, Reeve Boyle noted he would be out of a job when CFB Clinton closes in the near future and may need the work on county council to keep his mind active. The two other "question marks" are Councillors Ross Taylor and Ross Dobson. The latter indicated if he had more time he would like to run for a spot which would take him to county council. "But, I haven't time for two days in Goderich every month," he said. Questioned as to whether he would seek a council post again, he said he was undecided but was of the opinion he has to "give something up." Taylor is the senior member of council, completing his 14th or 15th term — he isn't quite sure. He said he hadn't given the matter much thought, but said he definitely wouldn't quit if it would mean a shortage of candidates and the necessity of a second nomination. Taylor, a car salesman, said he certainly didn't have the time to consider stepping up to a higher position on council. Slow charge is dismissed to Huron Huron Liberals crowded Hensall Community Centre Thursday evening for the annual dinner meeting of the Huron Liberal Federal Association. Describing his visit to Huron "like coming home" Hon. Robert Stanbury, Minister in charge of citizenship and information Canada who was guest at the meeting discussed the difficult times in which Canadians found themselves. Mr, Stanbury was born in Exeter and spent his early years there where his father practised law. Out of the country when the war measures act was invoked by parliament at the request of Quebec, Mr. Stanbury said it was difficult to appreciate the extent to which he found the country to be changed in a few days. Emphasizing that there was no comparison between the free action taken by parliament and similar action in a totalitarian state he said there was no alternative to the adoption of the Act. In the emergency there was no time to draft and adopt alternative legislation. Referring to the difficulties in Quebec, the speaker expressed the hope that nothing that happens as the result of a small group of terrorists will ever discourage those of us in the rest of Canada from making changes in Canadian society and acknowledging the importance of that province which he described as "a great part of our country". The meeting adopted new procedural bylaws presented by D. J. Murphy, Goderich, which provided for broadened participation in the activities of MENNO OESCH Manna Oesch, Zurich passed away suddenly, November 4, 1970 in his 70th year.

Park grounds too soft for traffic During the past week the Exeter pot ice department charged a driver with trespassing in Riverview Park after he was observed driving over the grounds and along the grass near the Main St. bridge, Police Chief Ted Day pointed out that at this time of year, the grounds at the park are soft due to moisture and any person driving over the grounds could cause considerable damage to the turf. The Rev. George A. Anderson, chaplain for the 8. E. Pooley branch of the Royal Canadian Legion took as his text for the Remembrance Day service at Trivitt Memorial Church, 'Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.' He stressed the difference between peaceful people and peacemakers, During times of war there are many peaceful people who feel the conflict is none of their business and refuse to participate. Peacemakers, he said, were of another breed. They were men who moved into action to "get the job done and restore peace." Mr. Anderson likened war to a raging forest fire, when a fire-break must be made by cutting down strong, healthy trees to stop the onrush of the desolating blaze. Many young men had to die and others had to commit drastic, terrible actions to regain the peace, He recalled speaking to boys from all over the world during World War II. None of them wanted to talk about the fighting and the uppermost thought in their minds was to win the war and get back home to their families, friends, education and careers. These were the type of people Christ was thinking about when he made His sermon on the mount. Jesus was a man of action, Mr. Anderson stated. He died not as a martyr but as a man who had Elgin Thompson named director Elgin Thompso.i, R. R. 3 Kippen was named director °Nile men's section of district 8 of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies at the annual meeting held at Dungannon, Wednesday. Ed Starr, Director, of the Agricultural and Horticiltural Societies Branch, Toronto, was the guest speaker. He made it quite clear he was not out to close up any fair, Because a fair is only a one day fair does not mean it is not any good. There are a good many three and four day fairs which do not provide as much for the community as a one day fair and Mr. Starr stated that he would do all he could to help a fair in trou ble. Mr. Starr said "any fair which is depending on Government Grants to operate will fall by the wayside because it won't last forever — a fair must become self supporting. Fall Fairs are outdated — they have not kept up to changing times, Either fairs will nave to update or fall by the wayside. Good luck." Representing the Exeter Agricultural Society were president Donald Dearing, secretary Garnet Hicks, Bruce Shapton, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pepper, Mrs. Harry Strang, Mrs. Alvin Cooper, Mrs. George Sereda, Mrs. Ross Skinner and Mrs. John Batten.

Be died that all men might find peace with God. The chaplain concluded by saying, "As we commit the souls of our fallen comrades to God, may we all _commit ourselves to the service of God and our fellow men. They served death, why -not, we?" After the service the congregation, which included Legion and Auxiliary members, Rangers, Girl Guides and Brownies, moved to the cenotaph for the ceremony of the laying of wreaths. The parade was led by the Exeter Legion Pipe Band. At Usborne The annual Usborne township Remembrance Day service was held Sunday at the Central school with the R. E. Pooley Exeter Legion branch in charge, President Gord McTavish and Edgar Cudmore were in charge of the service held in the school gymnasium. A quartette composed of Gerald Skinner, Ken Johns, Don Webster and Frank Wildfong sang. At the cenotaph wreaths were laid by Warden Roy Westcott for Usborne township, Principal Allan Taylor for the school, Court — Continued from front page police looked upon it as a disturbance. Gerald Duch arme, Zurich, also paid $40 for his part in the disturbance at the dance, and while he told the court all the combatants were "all friends again", Judge Hays replied there was no excuse for a disturbance which annoys the public. Harry Strang for the Province of Ontario and Gord McTavish for the Exeter Legion branch, Fire survey — Continued from front page Owens said that with proper storage which a new hall would provide, the life expectancy of fire hose would increase florn its present 1.0 years to 30 or 4.0 years, Mayor J ack Delbridge explained that building a fire hall was out of the question this year or next, noting the town had many other problems which had to be met first. "When we decide to build, we'll call," he told Owens, During the discussion on the fire hall, fire chief Gary Middleton indicated the local brigade members would probably provide the manpower to finish off the interior if council would erect the shell. Before leaving the meeting, Owens suggested that the fire chief should be enrolled in the courses at the Ontario Fire College and also suggested that council adopt the regulations of the Fire Code which gives the fire department the necessary tools to take steps to eliminate fire hazards in the community. No action was taken by council on any of the recommendations made by Owens, although they had previously purchased some of the equipment outlined in his written report. Most appeared to agree that the present agreement with the townships would have to be changed when it is open for negotiation on its 10th anniversary.

Other members of council are • Mac Hodgins, Gerald Wright, Jack Dorman and Albert Armstrong. A charge against a Hensall man of driving too slowly was dismissed by Judge Glenn Hays in Exeter, Tuesday. John Branderhorst had been charged by police after a number of cars were held up by a slow moving car. However, the accused stated there was another car of the same color as his going 30 m.p.h. at the time. He said he had passed the car and suggested the police had mistaken the two vehicles. Branderhorst was defended by Elmer D. Bell, Q.C., who said it would be rather harsh to force a person to drive a certain speed while on his way home from church, as the defendant was. He also explained that Branderhorst was intending to turn off the highway a short a distance ahead. Outers club from SH envoy shooting rapids' rapids backwards, or the occasional portage or even tipping the canoe, we soon felt quite capable of handling anything that came our way. That night we set up camp a few miles before Walkerton and spent the evening around the campfire with stories, jokes, songs or just plain fooling around. The next morning however, our spirit was slightly dampened, and so were our things. The rain, had left us without any dry wood to start our fires and so with a lot of patience and matches we finally were able to cook our breakfast. Back on the river the effects of the previous day's paddling were being felt. Yet bravely we continued on until we came to a set of rough rapids we had previously planned to portage around but instead we rode through them with only one mishap. Farther down the river we decided to call an end to our voyage and to head home . Leaving our sacrifices of three gloves, a cap, one pair of socks, a cooking pot and one paddle to the mighty Saugeen. Even though our destination of Paisley had never been reached, I feel theSouth Huron Outers gained a new and exciting experience. rA S
