Boyle said town officials told them the day care centres were badly needed in the communities because employers were having difficulty getting enough fern4e employees, "The centres encourage women to go to work," he ex- plained. At their last meeting, council had decided to write the ministry for further details on day care centres, No reply has yet been received Clerk Eric Carscadden reported. "Despite being impressed, there are a lot of questions we have to have answered," Wright explained in suggesting that the matter be held over until in- formation is received from the ministry. One of the important pieces of information required is whether capital costs are still covered by a 100 percent grant or if it has been reduced to 50 percent. Accidents Continued from front page Park. Damage was listed at $100 by Constable Christian. The other crash of the week involved two cars, but no drivers. At 8:15 a.m., Thursday, cars owned by Harvey Krotz Ltd., Listowel, and Alexander Elliot, Exeter, collided on Highway 21. Neither vehicle was occupied at the time and the Elliot vehicle suddenly reversed and hit the Krotz car. Damage was estimated at $200 by Constable Mason. During the week, the Exeter OPP detachment officers charged 12 people under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another 25 drivers. There were 10 charges under the Liquor Control Act and 70 under the Criminal Code. The latter resulted mainly .from the charges laid as a result of a series of vandalism, theft and property damage incidents in the Dash- wood and Zurich areas over the past few months. MOSES S. ERB Moses S, Erb passed away in the Blue Water Rest Home, Zurich on Thursday September 26 in his 85th year, He was the husband of the late Mary 'Lehr and father of Mrs. Christian (Rene) Schultz, Toronto. He was the brother of Edmond and Mrs. Aaron (Sarah) Gingerich, RR 2, Zurich. He is also survived by two grand- children and six great.grand- children, He rested at the Westlake Funeral Home Zurich and the funeral service was held in the Blake Mennonite Church on Sunday, September 29, with Rev, C.

A private family service was held at the Dinney Funeral Home, Exeter on Tuesday October 1 with Rev, George Anderson, DFC officiating. Interment was in Exeter Cemetery. BLANCHE MURRAY Blanche (Mayo) Murray of Lucan passed away in St, Joseph's Hospital,. London on Thursday September 26. She was the wife of the late J. R.

Haskett arid Son Funeral Home, Lucan with Rev, twart Madden officiating. Interment was in St. James Cemetery, Clandeboye, out of control and rolled into a ditch on that date. He and two passengers sustained cuts and bruises. Police were advised of the accident by someone other Do you know what a hot dog is? Do Canadians drive on the right hand side of the road? Can you speak Canadian? Why don't you speak French? and is it true that Canada has an average yearly temperature of 40 degrees? These were some of the questions that faced Dave Snider of Exeter while he was on a four week exchange in Texas spon- sored by the Lion's club. "Sometimes I just had to laugh," Dave said, "but most of the time I tried to explain to them what Canada was really like." Dave found that Texans seemed to be very ignorant about what Canada was but, taking time to explain his country, didn't dampen his enthusiasm for his holiday. Dave arrived in Lubbock, Texas on July 20th with several other Canadian youngsters sponsored by the Lion's club. From there he went to San Antonio where he stayed with the family of Alan Kempf, a highway Patrolman and later with the Dick Aiphin family also in San Antonio, Dave said that he spent most of his time with the kids of the family that he stayed with and found the Texas youths "super friendly," He attended several Lion's Club meetings while in Texas including Charter Night for one club that was just forming and had an opportunity to meet , the National president. While in Texas he visited a highschool and was surprised to find that the school system there is much stricter than in Ontario. Students are not allowed to wear their hair long, no blue jeans are allowed and the girls cannot wear slacks at all. Dave, whose hair hangs semi-conservatively below his ears found that he got a few stares when walking around the school, "because they knew if a kid had long hair he wasn't allowed in the school." than the accused, whom the court learned, returned to the accident scene an hour and a half later with a truck to pick up the vehicle. He said that the Texas kids seem to be more concerned with school sports than students here are. "They have football games every Friday and since most of them have their own cars they all drive to the game and then get together for a big party af- terwards." It was 80 degrees by eight in the morning and by four in the af- ternoon it was usually between 99 and 110. "You just had to stay in, the house in the late afternoon," Davesaid. Theee is not much in the way of swimming facilities but Dave managed to swim a few times at Lanada Park where there were two pools. "One pool was spring fed and the other was a heated olympic size pool." The Texans prefered the heated pool but I found it too uncomfortable," He described the water temperature as something like hot bath water, The springfed pool was more like our water temperature but the Texans found it much too cold for their liking, Dave said. There had been a dry spell in the San Antonio area for about eight months before Dave arrived but he said that it rained for three days while he was there. "When it does rain, it really rains" Dave said. San Antonio was completely flooded because they have no storm sewers and, Dave'said, "they have posts by the side of the road with water markers so the people don't drive in where it is too deep." Friends from Texas informed Dave that it has been raining everyday since he left, Although Dave's mother and some school friends said that Dave had an accent when he first came home there is no trace of a Texas drawl now, Dave appreciates the op- portunity the Lion's club gave him to travel and learn from another type of people and looks forward to returning to Texas someday to see the many friends he made during his stay. The International Plowing Match may mean many things to many different people but, to one Huron Countygirl it meant an op- portunity, For Chip Oud, of Kippen, the Plowing Match meant an oppor- tunity to meet George Chuvalo and Clyde Grey in person, to ride with them in the parade each day and to represent the Pride Hybrid Company of Canada at the match. Chip, a happy, carefree 16 year-old S.H.D.H.S. student has been working for the Pride com- pany for two years. She describes her job as promoting Pride with pictures of herself on brochures and attending dinners Elect officers at Centennial The action at Huron Centennial School is in full swing once more. Monday, September 23 found teachers learning the metric system by experimentation.

Again this year grade 8 students journeyed to Carnp Sylvan with each class having a two day visit. While there, they were busy doing Rock Glenn fossil study; Forestry study; Pond study; Orienteering; Astronomy and Cemetery Study. We welcome Mr. Neil Straw, grade 5, Mrs. Kris Kipfer grade 1, and Mrs. Mary Demers, kindergarten as new members to the teaching staff of our school. The first student council movie night will be held Friday, November 29. Anne St. drain Continued from front page another firm was opened and gave a price of $214,482.50. Council has applied to have the new drain constructed as a winter Works project. A total of $100,000 was applied for with the other $50,000 being approved in this year's budget. , Of the $100,000 being sought '6,nder the winter works project, approximately $36,000 could be forgiven. The provincial government have already ap- proved their portion of the winter works project and approval is still being sought in Ottawa. Clerk Eric Carscadden was asked to call the provincial of- ficials Tuesday morning regarding the application and he was advised that it may be a month before federal approval is received. However, the project will probably commence without final approval from the federal government due to the necessity on the part of the contractor to order the required pipe. B. M. Ross explained that the supplier had promised delivery starting October 21 as long as the order was placed by this weekend. The contract is to be completed by May 15 of next year, but Ross noted that the date was set to allow time in the spring for the contractor to complete restoration of grounds dug up for the sewer. The new storm drain will run from Edward St. through to Anne midway between William and Carling. It will parallel the existing drain in most cases. When completed, town officials hope that flooding problems in the core area will be terminated. The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today; the best preparation for life in the hereafter is to live now. We help ourselves only as we help others. If I supply you a thought you may remember it and you may not. But if I can make you think a thought for yourself, I have in- deed added to your stature. Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend out time, and meetings. She got her start as a model for the company from one time neighbor and friend, Julian Bayley of Agripress in Hensall, Last year's slogan was "Pride people have something to smile about" and Chip said she was chosen because she was voted as the best smiler. This year's slogan is Pride. Power and the pictures on all of the Pride brochures depict Chip in a sweat shirt with a boxing glove symbol on it. The boxing glove is the reason the two box- ing champions, George Chuvalo, Heavyweight champion and Clyde Grey, Canadian Com- monwealth Welterweight cham- pion were present at the Inter- national Plowing Match in Georgetown last week. Chip says that the champions are lots of fun and nice to work with. It is an exciting summer job for a sixteen year-old girl. Chip says that she enjoys working Officer to face impaired charge Ontario Provincial Police Constable Diane Brock, 31, RR 1 Crediton was charged with im- paired driving Sunday night after being stopped in a private car on Richmond St. by London police. Constable Brock, currently attending the Ontario Police College in Aylmer was one of the first 10 women to join the OPP in May. She is sche,duled to appear in provincial court in London on October 15. She was released on promise to appear. with people and doing new things. She doesn't mind having her picture seen all over Canada. "Some of my friends ask me how I can just sit there and smile when I'm supposed to," Chip said, "but it is fun, I don't mind." Although the job with Pride has been mainly a summer one, posing for pictures and attending functions, Chip enjoyed her week's holiday from school to at- tend the Plowing Match near Toronto. Since her first job with Pride two summer ago, Chip has done modelling for ether companies as well, Mike Nichols of London asked to see her after the "smile with Pride" photos were released last year. Since that time she has done some posing for Eatons, mostly for newspaper ads in the London Free Press and her latest job was for Christmas cards for Lawson and Jones. The work is interesting and different, Chip says, but it is not very steady. "It sounds like I have done a lot but in one week it came all at once. I just do a job when they think they can use me, if they think that I'd be good in it". What the photographers see in Chip is a very pretty sixteen year-old with a bubbly personali- ty and a winning smile. Being a model hasn't really changed her from the friendly teenager that her family and friends are fond of. Her parents are proud of her achievements but her mother is a little pleased that Chip hasn't chosen modelling as a career, Chip, who is in grade eleven at South Huron District High School is studying commercial 'courses. She doesn't really think that she will continue as a model .but hopes someday to .be a stewardess. "I just like to travel and meet people and that's prObably the best way". But, for now, the biggest thing is the excitement of her recent Appearance at the Plowing Match and the opportunity of sharing her excitement with her friends and family who are all very interested in the things sh e is doing. Pinery report four breakins Officers of the Pinery Park detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police investigated four break and enter instances this week with property stolen valued at $307. One theft of property valued at $150 was reported and recovered by officers. Four juveniles have been charged in connection with a car reported stolen in the London area. A total of 40 occurrences were investigated with 10 Highway Traffic Act charges being laid and seven charges for Liquor Control Act offences. Corporal Bruce Shipley in' charge of the Pinery Park detachment wishes to remind hunters to watch and preserve other people's property and to use good common sense in hunting practices.

Commenting on the various projects underway and the special program scheduled for World Lions Service Day, Exeter club president Glenn Kells said the local club anticipates one of its most active years in the up- coming months. While Clinton may be plagued with vandalism, Exeter is ap- parently the location for drivers who enjoy creating noise with their vehicles. That was the message given at Exeter court, Tuesday, by acting Crown Attorney C.V. Laughton, Q.C, He told the court that Exeter police had advised him that out- of-towners seemed to consider Exeter open territory for un- necessary noise. His comment came during the disposition of a charge against Peter Gebel, Lucan, charged with creating unnecessary noise with his vehicle in Exeter on August 16. The offence occurred on Vic- toria St, at 12:30 a.m. Gebel said someone had kicked out the headlight in his car previous to the offence and it had made him angry. Judge Hays fined the accused $83 or eight days. Close to 100 charges were on Tuesday's court docket, but most of the accused appeared only to have trial dates set. Trial dates were set for ap- pearances over the next three months. In cases that did proceed, the following ,fines were levied: Brian Dougall, RR 3 Exeter, :Was fined $100 or 10 clays for —rem ovi rig- and 4r e a kiiig con- struction lantern on Riverside Drive in Exeter. The court learned there were three people in the car at the time of the in- cident . Restitution for the damage had been made. Daniel ,Heywood, Exeter, was fined $35 or three days for having liquor while under the legal age of 18. Tony Dayman, Kippen, $60 or six days for having liquor while under the legal age. The court learned it was his second offence. David Crane, Lucan, $75 or seven clays for obtaining liquor at an area hotel while being under the legal age. The court was advised the youth used his bro- ther's identification, but the accused said he had used only his brother's name and not his identification. John Vriese, Exeter, $125 or 12 days on a charge of careless driving laid after the vehicle he was driving knocked over two gas pumps at Graham Arthur Motors in Exeter. The accused also had his licence suspended for one month.
