It showed the wading pool operating.at a deficity of $406 and the playground operation with a debit of $e17,44. He said the three-term system didn't work very well and also that Sunday use of the wading pool was not great. Willert suggested RAP should consider toilet facilities at Vic- toria Park. He questioned whether a small fee for use of the wading pool should be implemented, but members expressed opposition to such a move.

"We're months and months away from construction," con- sulting engineer B, M, Ross told Exeter council at a special meeting this week. His reference was to council's plan to complete the majority of sanitary sewer construction in the town. Council decided two years ago to complete the work under one contract and had hoped to get the job done in 1973. However, whenit became apparent this would be impossible, the target date was set for 1974, Comments by the engineer indicate that even this may be difficult to attain. He said There were many steps to be taken before construction would start and urged council to continue putting pressure on the ministry and to "keep on their tail". He said bylaws had to be ap- proved, the plan had to be ad- vertised and an OMB hearing would have to be held before the plans could even be drawn up for tender calls. speak on the theme "One Million Men Serving Mankind". A native of Nova Scotia, Mr. Pemberton is a member of the Galt Lions and has a record of 10 years perfect attendance with the club since joining.

Registration this year brought in $3,600, public swimming was $2,200 and the snack bar had receipts of $1,600. Total receipts were $7,499,25, Wages and supplies were also up considerably, due to the fact extra staff members had to be hired for safety purposes and the pool had to be painted and equipment had to be overhauled. Total expenses were $8,321,06, and while this leaves a debit of $923.29, a provincial grant of $1,673 is anticipated. Willert reported the three-term system used for swimming lessons worked most suc- cessfully, but said if RAP decided more revenue was required, they should consider four terms next year. Instruction would be given on Saturdays under such a plan and there would only be three less teaching days than under the present setup. Chief instructor Donna Doidge also presented a written report to RAP. She said adult swimming in- terest had increased and also cited the value of organizing a swim team this year. Although she also reported the tiny tot swim lessons at the Victoria Park wading pool were a "tremendous success", Miss Doidge recom- mended that the water be heated in some way. The swim instructor said some days the water felt as though it was below zero. She recommended any of the staff members for rehiring next year and added that additional staff would not be required. Once again, Miss Doidge told RAP of the need for better lighting for night swimming and added that a spinal board and showers were also needed.

Defence lawyer K, I. McLean stated the threat had been towards a visitor and not a member of the family, but Judge Hays stated this could also pose as a threat to the family. The Crown Attorney said he didn't think a heavy punishment was required since things were different when Smith was sober. However, Judge Hays replied that Mrs. Smith was justified in having fear for herself and her children. He ordered Smith to post the bond to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for 12 months, All other cases heard at Friday's special court session were for speeding infractions, with the following fines being levied: Ronald E.

Exeter this year will receive a boost in the amount of gross receipts taxes paid by Bell Canada. The change, legislated by the Ontario Government, means Bell will pay $15,045.00 this year compared to $8,963,00 in 1972, an increase of $6,083.00 Gross receipts taxes are a unique form of municipal tax levied against telephone and telegraph companies in Ontario communities. These utilities pay the tax in addition to real estate and business taxes paid by, all businesses. Under the former system, Bell paid to each community in which it operated a tax calculated by applying the local mill rate to the gross receipts taken in by the Company. The new legislation calls for the tax to be computed by calculating the number of telephones Bell has in service in a community at each year's end, multiplying the total by five percent of the Company's gross receipts in Ontario, and then dividing this by the total number of telephones Bell has in Ontario.
