Egmondville questioned why the township council did not support, the Day Care Centre in 'Seaforth for the benefit of l gmondville and Harpurhey residents when it supported one at Vanastra. The reeve suggested these residents could' drive their children to Vanastra which Mrs. Watson said was not feasible. Mr, Sillery said he agreed with Mrs. Watson and that, he would not consider the long drive a solution. Mr. Thompson showed slides of different sites in the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation area. Coffee and doughnuts were served, Speeders constitute majority of cases Brucefield, the six municipal drains completed this year and the 81 building permits for building projects of $1,787,880, the upkeep on the township roads, the condition of the bridges and the need for replacing four of them, his work on county council and with the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. Deputy-reeve Sillery of Brucefield spoke of his thirteen years on council, two of them as deputy-reeve. He spoke of Huronview which is full at the present time. He asked for support in his bid for re-election. Mr. Coombs of Egmondville talked about fire protections in the township. He said the new fire truck ordered by Seaforth will be delivered next month at a cost of about $36,800. He is the Tuckersmith representative on the Seaforth Fire Board. He spoke of the new Elizabeth park for Egmondville. He asked for support as he seeks re- election. Lambert Branderhorst of Kippen spoke of the co-operation he has received on council during his four years, "especially at the south-end" and the co-operation of council members, He asked for support for the election. Bob Drummond criticized the "disgraceful condition of the road east of Hensall with its six-incb pot holes" and asked when it would be paved. The reeve assured him that he would ask the road superintendent to look into it and said to have a road fixed tip you have to put up with the bad during re-construction work. Mr. Branderhorst said the gravelling on the section of road should be finished by November 16, Bill Rowcliffe questioned if the sides of the road should be higher than the middle of the road and asked when it would be paved, Reeve Thomspon said "money is tight, we hope not too far away". He said he does not know if he can get enough money to even build one bridge. Robert Fotheringham com- plained about the hollow in the Flewitt Bridge and was told it will be looked into. Mrs. Howard James of Egmondville questioned the water installation rates in Egmondville when they could double overnight just recently from $200tto $400 and then council made an exception and charged one resident an additional amount above the $400. (This was because of the distance council had to run the waterline to ser- Goderich man wants 'investment` returned Party-goers pay own shot While some neighboring municipal officials 'and em- ployees may have their tickets paid from !the public purse for a Christmas party, Exeter council ruled this week they could not afford to do likewise, The discussion came as the result of an announcement by Pineridge Chalet that they had set aside Friday December 13 for a Christmas party for all area councils wishing to avail themselves of the opportunity. The Chalet noted that in the past several councils have booked private parties and they decided this year to have one set date. Cost for the dinner is $5 per" person. Exeter Council learned that some of their neighbors would be taking as many as 50 people to the' event, although they didn't know if the individual or the municipality would be paying, The T-A learned that Stephen would be paying for their of- ficials, employees and wives. "We can't afford to pay the shot for everyone," Reeve Derry opined after it was noted that 123 would be eligible to attend from Exeter if all elected and ap- pointed officials and employees were invited. Councilldr Ted Wright added that council had dropped the practice of providing turkeys to employees for Christmas "and this would be getting into something more expensive than turkeys." It was finally agreed to advise all officials and employees of the event and that they would have to pay for their owntickets. Speeding infractions dominated Tuesday's session of Exeter court. One of the few major driving charges heard was a careless driving charge against John Monteiro, London, who was charged after he was involved in an accident on May 25 when his car went out of control on a curve on Highway 81 near Grand Bend. About 200 feet of fence and seven posts in a field owned by Thomas Desjardine were damaged by the car. Monteiro pleaded not guilty to the plea. He admitted drinking five or six beers in the hour and a half prior to the accident, but said that he had misjudged the width of the road and when his wheels dropped off the pavement, the car had gone out of control when he wheeled back suddenly. Judge Glenn Hays found the accused guilty and levied a fine of $100. He said the driver won't into the curve much too fast and over- reacted when he felt he was in difficulty and that there was a degree of negligence. William B. Hunt, London, was Retarded groups have joint event common interests . were disctiSsed at the bbard meeting of -thr5iiuth Hutbn Assberalion for the Mentally Retarded when members of the Lambton Association were guests. The main topic of discussion was the new home being planned in Thedford for young people. The young people from this new home would use the facilities of the ARC workshop in Dashwood. Martin Van Raay, chairman of YACHMR, presented a cheque for $1,500, the proceeds from the Skate-a-thon held last May. The board discussed day care centres in the neighbouring municipalities and the feasibility of seeking methods of 'co- operation to help the han- dicapped children .through these centres. Progress on the brief to the Boards of Education in Huron and Lambton and the two County Councils was reported. invested expected to get their money back. "It was formed as a non-profit. organization and they're just trying to prove it," Councillor Tom MacMillan suggested of the Commission when it was noted they sold land in their ventures at cost. The request for the $100 will be turned over to the Commission, although Clerk Eric Carscadden suggested it may start a stam- pede with other shareholders. The discussion prompted some consideration as to the usefulness of the Commission and Councillor Ben Hoogenboom, a council representative on it, suggested it had outlived its usefulness and noted they don't have any money to work with. MacMillan said the Com- mission should consider updating their information on Exeter, pointing out_ the brochure was several years old, He said the average wage was listed in the brochure as $1.50 per hour. Council decided to leave the matter to next year's council. A Goderich man, who said he was "conned" into buying a $100 share in the Exeter Industrial Development Commission several years ago, asked council to help him get his money back this week. Ken Keller, a former resident of Dashwood, indicated he pur- chased the share while an em- ployee of a local firm and felt that he now had no financial responsibility to assist the town in attracting industry. The $100 shares were sold when the Industrial Commission raised funds to erect a plant for Custom Trailers Ltd. on Highway 83 East. The firm later purchased the land and building from the Commission and more land was bought, it later being 'sold to provide the new plant for J. F. Farm Machinery. The Commission presently owns land on Highway 4, just north of Highway 83. Members of council pointed to the success of the venture and several noted that few people who fined $38 for passing When the roadway was not clear, Oncoming traffic had to take evasive action to avoid an ac- cident due to the actions of the accused. Two Hensall youths were given a not guilty verdict on a charge of having a stolen canoe in their possession. The canoe had been stolen from Jerry MacLean and Son Atitomotive in Exeter, but the two youths said they found it in Hay Swamp and planned to return it there after taking it fo-r a ride in the Morrison Dam reservoir. Crown Attorney W.G. Cochrane said he was satisfied that the evidence given by the two under oath was true, although Judge Hays warned them they were on dangerous grounds in their act even if they had intended putting the canoe back where they found it in Hay Swamp. A charge of supplying liquor to a minor was dismissed against an Exeter man when evidence given by police left some question as to the identity and age of the person to whom it was alleged he sup- plied the liquor. In the only other cases except speeding, Harold Parker, Tuckersmith Township, was fined $23 for failing to stop at a stop sign and Morris E. Weatherall, Stephen Township, At a ratepayers' meeting held by Tuckersmith township council Wednesday only one percent of the 2,126 voters turned up to hear reeve Elgin Thompson; deputy- reeve Ervin Sillery; councillors, Cleave Coombs and Lambert Branderhorst; Huron County Board of Education member, Mrs. Mollie Kunder; and Huron- Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board member Michael Connolly give a sum- mary of their last two years in office. James McIntosh, township clerk-treasurer, was appointed chairman for the meeting held at Huron Centennial School, Brucefield. Mrs, Kunder of Seaforth said the facilities in Huron schools were being used to capacity, Speaking of the trainable retarded she said they are being assimilated into the regular school and are being accepted by the other students. The pupils at the Queen Elizabeth School at Goderich for the trainable retarded will be moved to Vic- toria Public School when the new addition is completed next year. Mrs. Kunder said all the board's schools have libraries except at two of the smaller schools in Huron at Walton and East Wawanosh, and all schools will soon benefit from Home Economic and Industrial Arts in all Grade 7 and 8 classes. She said the board was keeping the older school buses for field trips when new buses replace them. In answer to a question she said the Field Trip Committee of which she is a member does not consider overseas trips, field trips,. She said the overseas trips are organized by private organizations or by teachers and are not under board control. She asked for support in her bid for re-election as did Mr. Con- nolly. He expressed his disap- pointment that none of his separate school supporters were at the meeting. He is presently chairman of the Separate Board and thanked the township council for keeping the roads in good condition for the school buses. Reeve Thompson stated he had had more requests than ever for him to continue on council. He said the reason his council does so much for Vanastra is because they ask • for it .and they are paying for it.

Richardson, Grand Bend, who was clocked at a speed of 90 in a 60 zone. He said it had been his day off work and he was just driving along and didn't notice his speed. Other speeders and their fines were as follows: Ralph Lee Armstrong, Lam- beth, $17; Richard E. Lindsay, London, $35; Sheldon A. Warren, London, $14; Wayne Treitz, London, $19; Gillian E.

"We have two council members on the Vanastra recreation committee but we don't in Seaforth," he said. The reeve spoke of the recently installed water system in Huron board Tuckersmith gives approval to mobile home park growth their behalf, The Huron County public library board notified the township it would be too costly to start a library at Vanastra as the number of users does not warrant the high cost of maintaining the facility with neighbouring libraries nearby. Council took no action on a request from the rec committee of the town of Seaforth for con- tribution of $2,330.00 for 1974 to assist with the cost of recreation offered by the town but will consider it early in '75. Council passed a bylaw establishing the date for the inaugural meeting in the new year to be January 7 at 8 p.m. and Leen Rehorst, RR 5, Clinton, implement shed and garage. Harold and Mary Coleman of Seaforth were at the meeting regarding the refusal by the Huron County land severance committee to approve their request for severance of a lot in Harper Hay. The county ask that they prepare a plan for sub- division of their property, but Mr. Coleman stated he wished to keep the remaining land for agriculture and is not interested in planning a new subdivision.

BETTY and ARTS Foodliner and Annex GRAND BEND George Romanik, RR 4, Seaforth, received approval Tuesday from Tuckersmith council for expansion of his mobile home park for 100 ad- ditional sites on 20 acres of the property. Mr. Romanik who lives on a 100 acre farm located four miles southeast of Seaforth has already established 32 sites for mobile homes, 13 of them rented to families with mobile homes.

Next year Mr.Romanik is planning cable TV, a tennis court and barbecue sites, In lieu of paving Anna Court and Andrew Court, Cul-de-sacs in the new subdivision area at the south-east corner of Vanastra, council accepted $4168.00 in cash from D. H. Seacock, P. Engineer, president of Conestoga Engineering Ltd., Waterloo. The paving would have been done this fall, but the new London owner who is not identified, is reported to be putting heavy construction machinery on the site in the spring to start con- struction of houses on the 38 lots making up the subdivision.

Mr. Turkheim stated his reason for asking for another discussion on the late bus was that the proposal was defeated by one vote and he has learned since that some trustees did not fully un- derstand the problem. The board adopted the ad hoc field trip committee report as presented at the October meeting with minor changes in the recommendations added by the education committee who were given the report for further consideration.
