An additional 15 or 20 em- ployees will be added in the next couple of months to bring the staff to full strength for the first phase of manufacturing. Four used hovercraft are now inside the large hangar, and are being disassembled. These craft will be used as basic components in reassembling the new design. It is expected one of the 60 foot long and 30 foot wide hovercraft will be manufactured every two months when production gets into high gear. Major assembly will start in late September when the first structural box that will form the hull of the craft will arrive. The structural boxes are being manufactured by the major sub- contractor Fleet Manufacturing of Fort Erie. Three other firms are also involved in supplying parts.

Sewer tenders — Continued from front page The tender of Bullock Con- struction was 'accepted for the application of dust layer, The firm submitted the only tender of 25.3 cents per gallon of prime and $3,35 per ton of sand. Tenders for the work had been opened two weeks ago, but council decided to re-tender because one of the two bids submitted was based on the wrong material. The firm which submitted the incorrect bid did not re-bid and the Bullock price was the same as their original one. It was indicated that it may be well into June before council receives permission from the department of highways to spread the dust preventative coating on the streets, despite the fact complaints have already started regarding the dust problem.

S. Macnab, Wednesday, disallowed a motion presented on behalf of an Exeter man to have a statement of claims amended upwards after a jury had earlier awarded him almost five times the amount of damages sought. A jury on Tuesday had set John Burke's general damages at $34,200, The statement of claim asked for general damages of only $7,000. Lawyer D. G. Arntfield, London, immediately moved to amend the statement of claim upwards, while defence lawyer T. R. Parker, Ingersoll, opposed the motion. Judge Macnab reserved decision for one day and then brought in his ruling that the claim would remain at $7,000 and not be amended to the higher figure. In civil cases, the jury mem- bers do not know how much CAMPING STARTS The Ausable River Con- servation Authority announced early this week that their Parkhill camping ground facilities would be open for the Victoria Day weekend.

The skirmishing was necessary, lawyer Arntfield explained later, because a plaintiff cannot have a judgment recorded for more than the amount in the statement of claim. Usually after a jury verdict, the plaintiff's lawyer moves for judgment in accordance with the verdict, Mr. Arntfield said. However, in this case, that would not put the plaintiff within the statement of claim, the lawyer said, so he moved first to amend the statement upwards. The suit arose out of a two-car accident at Adelaide Street and Concession 10 of London Town- ship June 10, 1967. Plaintiffs in the action were Mr. Burke, the driver of one car, and Management Rentals Limited, owners of his car. Defendants were Marjorie Kerr of Delaware, driver of the second car, and Robert Kugler of Southampton, owner of that car. The jury found Mr. Burke 30 percent at fault in the collision and Mrs. Kerr 70 percent at fault. Mr. Burke suffered a separated right shoulder in the crash. The jury was told he continues to suffer pain in the shoulder and has a numbness in two fingers of his right hand, Another complication arose near operating with fiell Aerospace in the federal government assisted Voyageur program, Bell Aerospace is a wholly- owned subsidiary of Textron Canada, Limited. Sales of the hovercraft which. will sell for under one dollars are being handled by company vice-president Jim Mills in Ottawa, when it was not decided whether the Exeter man would receive the entire $7,000 claim or only 70 percent of it in view of the jury's verdict that he had been 30 percent at fault, Judge Macnab has reserved his decision on that matter. Youngster unhurt in crash with car Six-year old David Shaw, 249 Pryde Boulevard received minor injuries Friday afternoon when he ran into the side of a vehicle driven by Alvin Fulton, RR 3, Exeter. The accident occurred at the intersection of Main and Sanders streets. 41 The youth suffered bruises to his left arm and back.
