To keep ratepayers in the area abreast of the situation, the T-A is planning a three-art series on the local scene to indicate where vacancies may exist. This week we have contacted the elected officials in the area's urban centres and next week the rural municipalities will be polled. Mr. Pooley has been on the Commission for 1f$ years, seven as mayor, and said he would like to make it to the 20 figure.

The fifth member of council, Bill Cochrane said Monday night he was still undecided. behind having council consider completing the sewers. He had hoped to see it done this year, but it will now be next year at the earliest. He too said he would make up his mind by November 1 to an- nounce his plans at the ratepayers' meeting.

Reeve Derry Boyle too has indicated he will seek to hold his position, Council's only female member, Mrs. Helen J ermyn, was unavailable for comment as she is visiting her sons in Montreal and Petawawa.

"But I think the answer is no," he stated, Ross Taylor, who has been on council for the past 15 years, stated he too would consider stepping down if qualified people come forth. He said he would make his plans definite at the ratepayers' meeting planned for Wednesday night. Ken °Hewett, also completing his first two-year term, said he is still very much undecided, He said on one hand he is tempted to resign due to the amount of time required, while on the other he would like to stay on to see an agreement reached with Canadian Canners regarding the lagoon operations and the completion of the sewer system. Ottewell was the driving force to get most seats LUCAN Bend and student Michael Foreman of Exeter called each party to come up with exactly the same number of seats, EXETER There will be at least one vacancy on Exeter council to be filled when nomination time rolls around, and there could be as many as four. The only definite "no" in- dicated this week came from Councillor Mery Cudmore, who has served for the past eight years. Two years ago he in- dicated a desire to retire after serving as deputy-reeve, but returned to council when no other candidates came forth, However, he said this week he would definitely not run for the next two-year term. Councillor Bruce Shaw, who earlier in the year announced his plan to retire after a two-year stint, was a little less definite. "It's still no, with some reservations," lie indicated, adding that he may consider staying on if not enough can- In Luean Reeve Ivan Hearn said, "I'm not positive yet. But when the time comes, likely he in there." Present Lucan councillors Bernie Avery and Mrs. Elizabeth Goddard indicated they would be hack for re-election. Councillor Cliff Abbott said he was still undecided and the fourth coun- cillor Bill Mathers could not be reached for comment. Grand Bend council will abolish bylaw Grand Bend council took steps at a special meeting Monday night to abolish an existing licencing bylaw. Village solicitor Bill Dyer was instructed to check into bylaws in other municipalities where businesses are licenced. Under the current bylaw, only While the federal election is scheduled for next Monday, students at Exeter public school held on election of their own Friday to name the school's student council.

The Liberal government of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau will be returned to power in Monday's federal election if the prediction of 39 area residents can be taken as fact, In a pre-election poll the T-A found five persons calling for a Progressive Conservative win while two predicted each of the top two parties would get exactly the same number of seats. About one-third of the people polled were young persons with the opportunity to vote for the first time in a federal elec- tion, Breaking the predictions down into averages, the poll shows the Liberals with 130 seats, the Conservatives with 88 members, the New Democrats with 34 and Social Credit with an even dozen members. At the present time, the House of Commons standings are as follows: Liberals 148, Con- servatives 72, NDP 25, Social Credit 13, Independent 2 and vacancies 4. Five persons in the area called the PC party to emerge with the most number of seats, They were Dennis Mathers and Ivan Luther of Grand Bend, Lucan's Ivan llearn and Lloyd Hodgins and Harold Wolfe of Exeter.

Included in this list is the Penny Arcade located near the beach. At a previous meeting, E. J. Knapp protested the large amount being charged for his amusement centre, claiming it was more than double he was charged in other summer resort areas, Reeve John Payne said, "we should wash out this bylaw. We are gouging some of the businesses. They are already paying heavy business taxes, Knapp said earlier his amusement centre was charged an extra $450 this year. The fee is based on the amount of machines in the Penny Arcade. Council conceded at Monday's meeting that Knapp is paying about one- third of the money collected under the licencing bylaw. Suggestions were made that each business place be charged a nominal fee in order to keep a register of all persons operating in the village. At the same meeting which was called to review all existing bylaws, a law prohibiting dogs on the beach at anytime between May 1 and October awes passed. At the same time dogs will be licenced with a charge of two dollars for a male animal and four dollars for a female.

"This is our biggest problem right now," , said project co- ordinator Fred Simmons. "We fixed up the walls with plaster, and have been sweeping and doing some cleaning but we can't start to paint until the walls dry," Fred said he doesn't know just what arrangements they can make to heat the room. "People have been just great," he said. "They have donated paint, some furniture, posters and all kinds of things, including time, but none of it is any good if we don't get some heat." The group is hoping to canvass the remaining areas of the town not yet covered, and are hoping at the same time, to get a donation of propane or space heaters. Group members are very enthusiastic about the project and hope to be ready to go by the middle of November. If anyone has any old or unused furniture, heaters, or would just like to help with the project, they can phone 235-1854 during the day or 235-0228 at night.

The Clinton office has already received two applications for the guaranteed loan program available to farmers suffering loss due to adverse weather conditions. This is a federal and provincial program and recipients have up to six years to repay loans which may be received for most farm operations and costs, One stipulation in the program is that recipients must obtain crop insurance for the 1973 season.

The Ministry approved the general concept of the plan to move grade VII and VIII students from area elementary feeder schools to the secondary school. The architectural firm of Dickson and Venton, Simcoe have begun preparing preliminary sketches and plans for the addition. These, in turn, must be approved by the Ministry, as must the final drawing, before construction can proceed. John A. Gummow, Director of Education for Middlesex County said he hopes to have the new addition ready by September, 1973. Facilities included in the ad- dition will be a whole new cluster of technical shops, a single gymnasium, library resource centre, rooms converted for additional home economics facilities, standard classrooms, a senior special education room, science laboratories and storage space. When the project was first proposed, there were quite a few ratepayers opposed to it. There arc still some, said Mr. Gum- mow, but "a great many have come nut in favor of the program". There were four meetings with the ratepayers, one in each of the three feeder districts, East William, McGillivray , and Parkhill-West William, and one in NMDHS with a parent's consultant group. Mr, Gummow said that op- position to the project fell into two major categories: those who felt the community school would be ruined by removing the grade VII and VIII students; and those who expressed concern at having the younger children in. the same school as the older children, "The latter argument is un- derstandable," said Mr. Gum- mow„ "but they certainly won't be playing togethea." He said no major problems are anticipated. The addition of grades VII and VIII students will increase the secondary school population substantially from 339 to 675 students. This will also mean apprOsimately seven or eight additional elementary teachers on the high schoolstaff, as well as new teachers needed for the shop department. The latter number will be three or four, depending on the strident demand for shop courses. Me, Gum-mow said, that the elementary teachers for senior grades from the feeder schools will be given preference, if they have the required qualifications.
