GEORGE ALEXANDER MARTELLE The local pharmacist said there were areas where large trees did block vision, but Mayor Delbridge replied the trees had been there for some period of time. Concern over the hedges had been raised by Mayor Delbridge and council asked the clerk to inform the property owners concerned that this is a con- travention of the zoning bylaw. "I've had my hedge for three years, Mr. Horrell replied. Members agreed that low hedges would create no problem and indicated they may change the bylaw by stipulating a height to which hedges may grow. After the ratepayer left the meeting, Clerk Eric Carscadden said he didn't know why Mr. Horrell had been so concerned when the letter had not stated the hedge had to be removed. The suggestion to send out the letters had been made at a special meeting of council Thursday. Some Exeter ratepayers have been advised by council they are contravening a bylaw by growing hedges too close to the streets on corner property, but apparently council didn't consider the notices as suggesting any corrective measures should be taken. That conclusion came out of a discussion with one of the residents contravening the bylaw, Stan Horrell, 90 Sanders E. Council members told him Tuesday that the notices had been sent out only to get a "reaction" from the recipients. Mr. Horrell's reaction was that he couldn't understand having received the letter, because his hedge is only about 18 inches high and does not impede the visibility of drivers approaching the in- tersection at his property. He told council he had no in- tention of allowing it to grow to a height that would create a problem. ROY SAMUEL McBRIDE Roy Samuel McBride passed away in South Huron Hospital, Exeter, May 20, 1973 in his 73rd year. He was the husband of Margaret McNain and father of Mrs. Earl (Phyllis) Deichert, RR 2, Zurich; Hugh, Edmonton; Wesley RR 1, Varna; John RR 1, Zurich; and was predeceased by one son, Keith (1971). Also surviving are 15 grand- children and three sisters, Mrs. Pearl Love, Hensall; Mrs. Edith Bell, Hensall; and Mrs.Gordon (Grace) Bloch, Zurich. , Funeral service was held from the Westlake Funeral Home, Zurich, May 23, 1973 with in- terment in Bayfield Cemtery. Exeter court — Continued from front page residence and an additional $23 for littering. The court learned he attempted to throw away his beer bottle when police arrived on the scene. George James Butt, London, $23 for following another vehicle • too closely on April 7 in Exeter. He ran into the rear of another vehicle on that date. Paying speeding fines were Gary Eugene Welsh, Exeter, and Bruce Tuckey, Exeter. Works superintendent Glen Kells said the people involved in previous "sweep" programs didn't accomplish very much and it was almost a waste of effort to have them undertake projects, FRANCIS W. CLARK Police dep't budget okay two weeks. Mr. Hill said the board had allowed a five percent increase in the budgetfor thesalaries, the one percent difference would amount to $9,000 for the period from September to December, or about $20,000 for a total year, more than anticipated. The elementary school teachers' contract has been signed by the board, Mr. Hill reported, but has not yet been ratified by the teachers. He expected it would be ratified within a couple of weeks, and available to the press. The negotiations with the teachers which started the first of March were very amicable, Mr. Hill stated. He said the contract is for a one-year term, previously it was for a two-year period. "With the money available and tight budgeting, it was difficult to negotiate for more than a one- year contract. We agreed to talk a one-year contract, and with salaries, this is more practical", Mr. Hill reported. There will be a staff reduction by attrition with about 10 fewer teachers in secondary schools for next fall with the total expected to be 260, and with about nine fewer teachers in elementary schools for a total of 336 teachers, including principals. gh e ChhUirChes in the area Invite you to join them for Worship, Fellowship and Services George Alexander Martelle died suddenly May 21, 1973 at St. Joseph's Hospital, London in his 83rd year.

This was revealed in a discussion which followed a letter from the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority asking for suggested projects to be undertaken under the provin- cially financed "Sweep" program. No definite projects were listed by council members, although they did decide to open the matter up for discussion at their next meeting. It was also learned that the town probably won't spend their entire allotment of provincial and federal grant under the local initiatives program.

Members of Exeter council met behind closed doors Thursday night to make their first study of the 1973 budget, Minutes of the meeting cir- culated this week said the budget was "carefully considered". However, members decided that each -committee should submit a detailed budget for its depart- ment before a final decision is made. There was little reference to the budget at Tuesday's regular meeting, although a budget for the police department was ap- proved. It calls for a total expenditure of $52,000, an increase of $2,500 over last year. Chairman Derry Boyle noted that of the total $43,500 is made up from salaries. He reported further that half the budget had been spent in the first five months, but several large expenditures were included that would not be faced again in the final seven months. The Reeve told council that another large expenditure is for the cruiser and he related one incident to explain how the figure gets so high. Last month, a suspect was arrested in a fraud case, and the police had to take him to jail in Stratford. They subsequently made eight trips between Stratford and Goderich for court appearance, each time the case being adjourned. Boyle said that added up to 1,300 miles and the man was finally released on his own recognizance "and probably won't be seen again." At Tuesday's meeting there was no indication when depart- ment budgets are to be submitted and when the final budget may be approved. tif~MILTONmHODGIF'S Mrs. Gerald Hera spent akend at their cottage at iVine Ale Lake.

The action came after Coun- cillor Ben Hoogenboom explained he had been approached by a young mother wondering if such a service could be provided in the community. Reeve Derry Boyle said he had talked to officials in Wingham where a day care centre is operated and advised council the provincial government provides grant money for the purchase or erection of buildings, but the operating cost is the respon- sibility of the municipality. "It's so complicated I don't Understand it," he admitted, He said the fee could run as high as $8 to $10 per family per day for such a service. "I know Wingham haven't been happy since they started it," the Reeve added, However, council did agree to write the appropriate provincial ministry for details on day care centres, CHURCH OF GOD Grand Bend 10:00 a.m.—Sunday School B.
