A total of 863 have registered for the four sessions held this year. Recreation director Jim Area recreation debated tonight Exeter recreation director Jim McKinlay said the Huron county development committee proposal for the establishment of area recreation committees has given that concept "a good shot in the arm", The development committee have suggested that county council provide a grant of up to $1,000, on a matching dollar basis, to any municipality which actively engages in an area recreation committee. That proposal will be discussed by recreation committees and councils at three meetings to be held in the county. The first of those sessions will be held in Exeter Public School tonight at 8:00 p.m . for the municipalities of Hay, Usborne, Stephen, Zurich, Mensal! and Exeter. Attending from Rap will be Ruth Durand and Fred Simmons, while Mayor Bruce Shaw and. Councillor Harold Patterson will represent council. The latter is also a member of RAP. McKinlay said Monday that area recreation committees appeared to be "on the door- step". MARTIN DOUGLAS STEEPER Suddenly as a result of an automobile accident on Saturday, August 7, 1976. Martin D.

Stuart officiating. Interment in Exeter Cemetery, McKinlay said this week the results of Red Cross tests in- dicate that "we are continuing to maintain a high quality of in- struction". He told RAP that Red Cross examiners have remarked on this as well this year. He said he was not certain yet if the snack bar situation has im- proved over last year, but he expected it had. Sales have ex- ceeded expenses to date by about $260 but he did not know what the value may be of stock on hand. Last year the snack bar at the pool showed a loss and it is being watched much more closely this year, Several comments have been received from parents on the operation of this year's playground program, McKinlay advised, He said the feed-back was "very positive". A total of 64 youngsters have registered this summer. McKinlay said the entire summer staff at the playground and pool deserved a great deal of credit because due to his in- volvement in the South Huron recreation centre campaign there had been "a minimal amount of input" from himself in the programs this year. He paid tribute to the staff members for the manner in which they took over the responsibilities. Later in the meeting, RAP chairman Ruth Durand had occasion to extol the merits of the playground program, She said she had three youngsters at- tending and all of them were learning something. "I think this is good," she stated. Program chairman Lossy Fuller said she had visited the playground to see what was going on and found the youngsters enjoying themselves. "It's certainly not just a baby- sitting service," McKinlay commented. Land donated to Authority The Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority received a donation of two plots of land in Dublin from Hibbert Township Council at their August 3 meeting. The land will'be,cleveloped by the Authority. The plots, actually three lots, were, donated to the Authority because they are divided by the Thames River and cannot be developed by the municipality or private sector since the square footage is under what is required in the official plan for the area. The one lot plot is at the en- trance to the village where the bridge crosses highway 8 and the second, two lots, is behind the post office in the village. Both could have been offered for tax sale, but council felt it would be unlikely anyone would purchase them since they couldn't be developed. Clerk Charles Friend said the lots behind the post office will be made into a picnic area. Doesn't plan new program There will be no new recreation programs in Exeter this fall, unless local citizens make some suggestions or requests for some. Recreation director Jim McMinlay said this week he does not believe in offering or ad- vertising programs unless a need has been expressed. "The way I prefer to program is to respond to a request or need," he told RAP members, Monday, McKinlay said the only programs being considered now were gymnastics and ballet which have been operated for several years and also the Men's basketball league. One new program that may be offered is touch football. Several young men in the recreation softball league had approached McKinlay and expressed an interest in this sport. RAP was advised that such a program could be provided at very little cost or difficulty as the main requirement was only for a playing field. iThe recreation director said most leagues operated on the honor system and din't even use officials. In touch football, a player is considered "tackled" when a flag is pulled from a belt loop by an opposing player. The group .interested in the sport had been expected to attend Monday's meeting, but they did not show up, McKinlay said he would call an organizational meeting "and see what happens". To err is human. To blame it on the other guy is even more human, A new 18 unit apartnient building in Hensall came closer to reality Monday night when village council agreed to issue a Plan canvass for arena Hensall council will be meeting with the village's parks board on Monday, August 16 to set up a committee to canvass for funds to repair the Hensall arena. At Monday's regular meeting of council, reeve John Baker said "we are ;Nailing for a report from engineer B.M. Ross of Goderich to tell us what work is necessary on the arena to bring it up to 1975 building code standards." The reeve said he felt the basic arena was in "good shape". He added, "The roof on the main arena is good. I expect most of Our problems will be small, but they will be costly. Our hiain concern is the roof over the equipment rooms and the seating in the arena is well below stan- dard." An earlier survey by the Goderich firm listed the arena as complying with 1972 standards. Baker continued, "If we get this latest report by the end of August, I'm hopeful that we can have the arena ready for operation by October I." Councillor Harold Knight said he was also optimistic about having the arena ready by fall. He added, think we can get the repairs done on time, but I think We should appoint a canvassing committee right away and get started with the fund raising." NURSING GRADUATE — Mrs. Ann Klungel, Hensall recently graduated from the Stratford campus of the School 6f Nursing at Conestoga College, Kitchener. Vandals break vehicle windows As the result of vandalism, a windshield and a side window in a vehicle owned by William Taylor, 140 Andrew street, Exeter were broken, Sunday.

Glenn plans on beginning construction of the apartment complex by early fall with an expected completion date of March ao, 1977. It will be located at the in- tersection of Wellington and Queen streets behind Hotel Hensall. The proposal to council by Glenn was backed with an illustration and large scale drawings by former Huron County planner Nick Hill who now is the owner of Town and Country Planning Consultants. Hill said the design of the new building would follow the character of existing buildings and would follow the theme of Hensall which is "predominantly brick". He continued, "The apartment Over live years agp an idea was born in o.Bangladesh idea to provide economic oppartunity to village widows and unmarried girls considered burdens to,:their families, The Jagaroni Women's Cooperative Training Centre in Dacca was formed by the Sisters of Holy Cross College to offer training courses in jute and bam- boo handicraft, embroidery, doll making and macrame. These handicrafts are then exported and sold throughout the world. Gerald Gingerich is in charge of getting these goods to market in, Ontario and although most of his business is done as a wholesaler, there is one self- help retail outlet in Ontario, and that store is in Zurich. The Mennonite Central Com- mittee discovered Jagaroni and was impressed with the quality of the handicrafts and potential for increasing production by ex- porting. With the help of several other agencies they helped women form a cooperative called The Jute Works, which is the co- Crash total is still low The area accident total was again small this week, with only three investigated by the Exeter OPP.

The apartment site comprises 19,928 square feet and is basically four two-bedroom and two one- bedroom apartments' with the exception of a laundry and one bachelor apartment in the basement. The parking lot for 20 cars will divided into three distinct areas - building, parking and open space. The three floors will consist of be paved and landscaping will include a 175 foot cedar hedge on the south boundary of the property and a 90 foot similar hedge on the north side operative Mr. Gingerich deals with. There are few countries where the plight of women is as poor as in Bangeladesh. Their role is to stay in the home and raise the children while the male mem- bers of the family earn the living. Tie woman is very re- stricted in her travel and activi- ties. When she does go out she must be accompanied by her hus- band and veiled according to Muslim custom. Girls marry very young, often at the age of 13 or 14. It is not unusual for a girl to have a family of four to six children by the age Of 20 and a family of 18 is not uncommon, With such a big family responsibility and depend. ence on the male member of the family it is no wonder the widows and poor women of the country fare so badly. It is difficult to price the pro- ducts which the women make be- cause they never work during a controlled period of time when their production per hour could be timed. Generally the women earn about 12(r per hour. The women do the crafts in their own homes. When they have ten items done, they take them or send them to the cooperative where they are paid. In this way the women receive immedi- ate reimbursement for their efforts without having to wait until the goods arc marketed. For the individual woman jute handicrafts are providing a better life for her and her family, and we can help by making sure there is always a market for their handi- crafts. GB discusses Southcott roads While a decision was not made, Grand Bend council Tuesday night discussed the possibility of assuming the responsibility of maintaining roads in the South- cott Pines subdivision. Councillor Bob Simpson asked, "Are we prepared to do this, to take on more costs without any additional income." Reeve Bob Sharen replied that road maintenance costs were subject to a provincial subsidy of 50 percent. He added, "Snowplowing is a municipal responsibility." Bike trespassing The Exeter town police department has been receiving sevqral complaints of mini-bikes trespassing across lawns and gardens in the Riverview Park area. Chief Ted Day said some of the persons operating the vehicles are as young as 11 and 12 years of age, Day continued, "We will be laying charges if this practice continues. Parents of youngsters can also be charged." Zurich self-help store is unique
