Triebner said this was required for buildings over 6,000 square feet in size. yen contended that the plans he had submitted from a local building supplier should suffice as the building was intended for agricultural purposes. The administrator of the Ontario Building Code was contacted by Mayor Bruce Shaw and advised that indeed the plans had to be drawn up by an ar- chitect or engineer for the building as it was over 6,000 square feet in size.

A few weeks ago Tuckersmith endorsed a resolution from the Town of Markham re the policy on Wintario grants for sporting equipment. In reply a letter was received from the Honorable Robert Welch, Minister of Culture and Recreation, who is responsible for the Wintario grants: "sporting equipment will no longer be issued by the Ontario Athletic Commission office or the Wintario Sports and Fitness Office. This will be replaced with a program of 50 percent financial support for equipment, etc., providing the remaining 50 percent is supplied by the Pageant, choirs at United Church Two special Christmas programs will be presented at Exeter United Church, Sunday, December 19, During the mor- ning worship service which begins at 11 a.m, a pageant will be staged with a modern street scene in addition to a Nativity scene.

BUY SCHOOL BUSES "Contingent upon Ministry of Education grant approval" the Huron County Board of Education moved to approve the purchase of six new school buses at its meeting on Monday af- ternoon. On November, 22 the Manageme,nt Committee, of the Hoard discussed the advisability of the purchase and agreed to recommend that the move be carried out, Four of the new buses will be of 72 passenger capacity with the remaining two being fitted for 60 passengers.

A recommendation was made by Exeter's RAP committee this week that council's social ser- vices committee look into the possibility of co-ordinating charitable fund raising programs in Exeter. The suggestion was made by Fred Simmons, who recently attended a meeting on behalf of RAP to hear a proposal for canvassing the community by an official of the Red Cross. Several other community groups and service clubs were represented at the meeting, but Simmons indicated the Red Cross official was unable to get much support from anyone to organize a canvass in Exeter and area. Some of the groups felt there must be a better way to raise funds than through a door-to-door campaign and Simmons suggested that many of the groups were "getting tired" of canvassing. The RAP member went on to point out that the many cam- paigns staged annually in the area are "wasting a lot of human resources" and he suggested it would be more beneficial to have a single campaign for groups who were not raising funds for local projects. While he suggested the matter be considered by council's social services committee, Lossy Fuller, who is chairman of that council committee at the present time, said she didn't think it was up to council to consider such a venture, but rather it should be initiated by some service clubs. organization that is requesting Wintario assistance. This will now permit individual applicants to purchase equipment from the local suppliers." Suggest trail for ski, walk Fred Simmons suggested to Exeter's RAP committee this week they ask the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority to do a feasibility study on the creation of a walking and cross- country skiing path along the Ausable River between Exeter and the Morrison Dam. He said the funds and manpower for such a project could come under the Ontario government's SWEEP (Students Working Environmental Enhancement , Program) program next summer. Alvin Willert indicated he had been talking to Ausable Bayfield staff members about such a project and suggested the matter be held in abeyance until January. when the new RAP comittee takes over. Simmons said this would be okay, but hoped the idea would not be forgotten, Open talks over centre Discussions about the operation of the new South Huron Recreation Centre have opened on an informal basis between council representatives from Exeter, Stephen and Usborne. The first meeting was held Thursday night, Attending were members of the 1977-78 council for Exeter, the old and new council from Usborne along with Stephen delegates Cecil Desjardine and Doug Russell, The press was not invited to the meeting. Mayor Bruce Shaw advised that all three municipalities have indicated an interest in co- operating in the operation of an area recreation program and the administration of the new centre, but no details have yet been worked out. He indicated the next move will be up to Exeter council to come up with some proposals. It is expected they will be worked out at Monday's final session of the year. Members of the new council will' also be in attendance, Two drivers handed fines Only two cases were heard by Judge Glenn Hays in Exeter court, Tuesday. In each he levied a fine of $103 or 10 days in jail and gave the accused 15 days in which to pay the fines. Ian Louis Fowles, Huron Park, was found guilty of driving a motor vehicle while his licence was under suspension on June 19. Lloyd R. Miller, Exeter, was convicted of careless driving arising from a single car accident on August 4 when his vehicle went into the ditch.
