Exeter has received ap- plications to fill the vacancy on the local police force, but some members of council aren't convinced that a fourth constable is required. Those questioning the need for a fourth man (five including the Chief) at Monday's council meeting were Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn and Councillors Bob Simpson and Ted Wright. Wright wondered if it would be possible to get a secretary to do some of the office work and free the constables from desk work at the office. Reeve Derry Boyle, chairman of the police committee, said he would have the matter discussed fully at a meeting of his com- mittee this week. The police position was ad- vertised after Constable John Goarley submitted his resignation, He terminated his duties last week. A year ago, council approved a fourth man on a trial basis and indications are that some members want that trial period assessed before the department numbers are brought back up to five men. -Congregation honors Pa$tor's anniversary .h The 69th wedding anniversary The couple now lives at 174 Andrew street in Exeter.

At Monday's council meeting, RAP chairman Gord Baynham recommended that his group take over complete control of parks as a special investigating com- mittee had suggested. At the present time, RAP set the budget for the parks and hire the personnel to look after them. However, all bills are presented through council and paid by them. Under the system proposed by the committee, RAP would administer the operation en- tirely. "That's the way it should be," commented Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn in supporting the recommendation, "Either you people should be entirely responsible or we should," she noted. The recommendation was passed with no opposition, despite the fact council had earlier turned down a similar recommendation.

Thursday afternoon, a snowmobile being operated 'by Richard Schwartzentruber, William street, Exeter and Lawrence Dietrich, Winchester, Ontario collided at the in- tersection of Main and Church streets.

Clinton Monday approved a program presented by D.J. Cochrane, Director of Education. The winter emergency measures program will be for all schools served by buses where students might be billeted in schools overnight. It calls for all elementary schools in Huron to be supplied with a refrigerator and a stove if the school does not already have them, It was noted that five schools will require a refrigerator and six schools a stove and these will be charged against the 1974 budget. The second policy adopted by the board was for the main- tenance in the schools of emergency rations, the amount and total value of which should be determined and budgeted by the principal and staff. These rations would include canned goods, de- hydrated foods and juices, The third proposal was that the education committee early in 1974 bring a recommended list of capital equipment that should be supplied in the schools such as propane stoves, emergency lighting, etc. Other suggestions for emergencies which will be discussed later included some on medical problems such as requesting parents to send a letter to school advising staff of any a child who might have a problem and the maintenance of an emergency supply of any drugs or medicines needed by a child.

The cost included part of the salary of two staff members, cost of delivering books, postage and stationery for notices, depreciation on books, and professional time of the librarian. Recommendations from the Education Committee approved by the board: — That three students, Philip and Rene Caskanette and Debbie Ann Drinnell be permitted to complete the current school year at F.E.
