He said, "We must have a plan of attack, consolidate the ideas of both associations and define the project." Mr. Carroll pointed out the need to follow government procedures, and the necessity of doing things in their proper sequence. He said, "The more time we spend formulating plans now, the easier it will be in the future." There was discussion and questions raised by some of the members about the suitability of the property south of the former Canadian Forces Base at Clinton, which is under option until April 1. There seemed to be some doubt regarding the water and sewage disposal services available and it was suggested that the association might be wise to `count in the cost' the drilling of a well and the provision of its own sewage plant. One member said the reason Youths conduct church service The Young People's Class Of Exeter United Church presented a Contemporary Celebration Sunday during the 11:00 a.m. worship period. The service was a presentation in film, dialogue and song. The theme, The Good Earth, reflected man's destruction and pollution of the earth's natural beauty and resources. The film "The Rise and Fall of the Great Lakes" was used to begin the worship. 'Reverse Creation', a popular commentary which tells of man's abuse of our world was read by Cathy Read, Debbie Higgins and Sharon McCaffrey, while slide transparencies were flashed on a screen, Richard Ottewell reinforced the point with a poem "Five Ways to Kill a Man," Cathy Read read from Genesis and suggested that we were the ones who could do something about pollution. The music was a mixture of the traditional and contemporary with such selections as "Yellow Taxi" and "Sound of Silence" as well as The Lord's Prayer, sung by Ken Cullen, a Toronto folk singer. posed of members from Carlisle, Ailsa Craig, and Brinsley United Churches was augmented by help from the Ailsa Craig Presbyterian church choir and Miss Edythe McFarlane directed their singing, The Rev. Farquhar McKinnon, of Centennial United Church, London, said in his sermon that we needed two conversions, one to Christ and one to the service of the world. Later in the evening at an informal fireside social, catered to by the United Church Women, the Nairn Mennonite minister, Rev. Wilfred Schlegel said perhaps we need three conversions, the extra one to a united church. The chairman of Middlesex Presbytery and minister of Mount Zion United Church, London, and the Rev. Doug Storey of Byron United Church along with a former minister of the Ailsa Craig United Church, Rev. Kenneth Hick, represented the 50 ministers of the Presbytery at the service. By MRS.

Cec Lewis has installed two new street lights in front of the Lewis homes On the Denfield sideroad. Get well wishes go out td two of Our residents, Mrs, Emily Tomes and Claud Barr. for buying "this particular property seems hazy, We're not sure of the recreational facilities, not sure of sewage and water services and the price is high." He suggested the committee look at other properties. Case Van Raay pointed out that eventually the association hopes to build a residence as well as the workshop and therefore,more land is needed than just the 20 acres required for the workshop. He said he was sure the other 80 acres of the farm could be sold at $300 per acre, or that it could be rented to defray the cost of in- terest and taxes. Tom Consitt stated the owner of the farm had indicated he would take a $22,500 mortgage at 6% percent interest, George Simons, overall vice chairman, said a proposed operational plan which states the exact function of the workshop must be submitted to the government. He suggested in a farm operation, sweet corn, gladioli, pepper squash and cucumbers might be crops that could be grown by some of the trainees. Mrs. Evelyn Carroll, director of the present workshop in Goderich, which has seven trainees,said a wide variety of workshop projects is required to meet the need of the ages and capabilities of the trainees. Elmer Bell, QC, Exeter,and Mrs, Carroll were appointed as a Consultant Committee. Both associations were asked to determine the approximate number of male and female retardates who will use the facilities of the workshop. A project committee, con- sisting of Paul Carroll, George Simons, Mrs. Dorothy Wallace, Goderich, and Case Van Raay, Dashwood, and Mrs. James Kneale, Grand Bend, was formed to solidify proposals of both associations, This committee was also authorized to write a letter to the proper government authorities expressing the in- tentions of the group to build a workshop. Another meeting will be called in two weeks to ratify the com- mittee's plans and to organize the fund raising campaign. The objective set for the campaign is $150,000. MacNaughton — Continued from front page, seriously I might own one if I was home more." " During his 10-minute run, the minister managed to get through part of the obstacle course but with no snow, the machine just wouldn't steer like it should. Hitting that stop sign was just a case of a little toomuch gas at the wrong time. Mr. MacNaughton met in- formally afterwards with the presidents of four area snowmobile clubs — Hugh Cowan of Mt. Brydges, Henry DeBlock of Komoka, Ross McTaggart of Delaware, and Ken Fournie of Lambeth, He answered several questions that are constantly on the minds of snowmobile buffs such as compulsory safety helmets and the threat of an outright ban of snowmobiles on roads or high- ways in Ontario. Mr. MacNaughton assured the group a ban is just about out of the question. He said while many opponents of the sport may be clambering for such legislation, there are too many different situations across the province to ban them from all raods — especially in the north. "The snowmobile provides excellent winter recreation, it's here to stay and it can be very useful if properrly used," he said. "Mandatory legislation to ban them (from all raods) is not the answer." Honor List The name of Sandra Ducharme was inadvertently omitted in the list of honour students at South Huron District High School which appeared in last week's edition, Attend Funeral Morley Hall and his sister, Mildred, flew to Benito, Manitoba, Monday to attend the funeral of their brother, Leslie.

The congregation of Exeter United Church, at its annual meeting, reviewed the year's work and elected nineteen members to its official board. Reports were presented from the six divisions representing the congregation's work; Worship & Music, Membership & Visitation, Finance, Christian Education, Mission & Service and Property, Film shown on volunteers Several interested parents and teachers gathered at the High School Monday night to view an ETV film about volunteer aides in the school classroom. The film was well received by those present and Mrs. Damian Solomon, president of Home and School, said she was encouraged by the comments of those present. Arthur Idle, principal of Exeter Public School, said he felt there was a definite place for parent- aid in the school but that it must be approved by the Board of Education. He stated 'patient' volunteers could, in his opinion, be especially, helpful in a reading program. , "There are dozens of children* whose parents don't have, time to listen to their children read, and persons who could just 'sit and listen' could be valuable assets to the school," Mr. Idle said there were other jobs around the school which could be done by volunteers to free teachers for important work with their pupils. The principal also pointed out that an elective program is being introduced for the higher grades. He said a questionnaire will be sent out to parents asking them to list special skills that might be incorporated into this program.

Cook claimed it was Reeve Thomas :Who had swung council's decision against MDC in late 1971, and it was Reeve Thomas now who was swinging council's opinion toward supporting MDC in 1972, Reeve Clarence (Derry) Boyle, Exeter, agreed, He said he felt the councillors had decided wisely in late 1971 to maintain a county development officer, Boyle admitted he was "not sure work on a part time basis to assist visiting and in the con- ducting of funeral services.

All interested persons in Exeter and surrounding area are invited to attend a general meeting to be held in the near future if response is great enough. Weaving, wood working, wood and clay sculpture, leather craft, pottery making, photography and rock polishing are a few of the crafts suggested, others to follow. Come and bring your ideas to build a great do-it yourself project. It's your insurance against boredom.

Saturday was minor hockey day in Exeter and although the attendance could have been greater, about 500 persons, it was a great day for the young hockey players. A total of 13 hockey games were played and the results of the houseleague are as follows: Vancouver with Danny Bell scoring all four goals defeated New York 4 - 2. Ted Ducharme and Butch Mattucci each scored a goal for New York. In the second game Boston was almost handed their first defeat of the season with a come from behind victory over Montreal 5 - 3. A goal by Brian Mercer and of the value of MDC". "We've got to think of Huron County and there's no way, that those people in the Stratford- Kitchener areas are, going to worry about Huron County," observed Reeve Boyle, "The proper way to put pressure on is to withhold the money for one year," added Boyle. "We've got nothing to be ashamed of," said Anson McKinley, deputy-reeve of Stanley. "We've been good paying members. Maybe it is about time we attached a few conditions to our membership,' McKinley said that of the meetings he'd attended, there was plenty of information to be received, but there was no op- portunity to assist in setting policy, "Membership in MDC should be giving us some input into policy decisions such as whether or not to limit the growth in in- dustrial areas," said McKinley. "But it obviously has not." In outlining some of the problems he had found at MDC, Reeve Thomas said he felt it was wrong for the manager of MDC and the president to sit on the nominating committee. He mentioned his term of office as vice-president of MDC and said he was really not surprised when the presidency of MDC did not fall to him, Reeve Thomas also reminded council of a brief sent to MDC asking that organization to petition the government not to give approval for any further industries to locate at Listowel until that municipality's sewage problem involving the Maitland River had been cleaned up. He said that brief had never been presented to MDC's executive.
