Huron County Council was unable to decide Thursday exactly where school electoral boundaries should be placed and referred the matter back to the executive committee for further study. New boundaries must be established in Huron County for school election purposes. Since there are now two separate school trustees on the 16-member Huron County Board of Education, the public school trustees must be reduced by one to 14, It was pointed out by the executive committtee chairman, Allan Campbell it is a county council responsibility to delegate school electoral boundaries before September 1 and prior to the fall elections. The report from the executive committee also advised that the board of education was satisfied with the proposal for the two separate school electoral districts. Basically these two districts comprise everything south of a line bounded by . GoderiCh Township, Clinton and Tuckersmith in one, and everything north of that line in the second, Each district would elect one representative. The number of separate school ...

Sunday morning there were outdoor church services, followed by a hearty pancake breakfast sponsored by the Exeter Kin- smen Club. The afternoon was filled with games of horseshoes and darts, a potluck supper, and another dance in the evening. Monday, the Fairgrounds looked like a ghost town as the dust continued to blow and the campers' numbers dwindled to zero. ELBOURNE HART Elbourne Hart passed away suddenly in Lucan May 21, 1976 in his 78th year. Funeral seevices were conducted from the T. Stephenson and Son Funeral Home in Ailsa Craig May 24; interment in St. James Cemetery in Clandeboye. ELIZABETH FLYNN Elizabeth (Wasnidge) Flynn passed away at South Huron Hospital May 21 in her 85th year. A former resident of Centralia; she was predeceased by her husband John in 1960, She is survived by two sons, John, of Hensall and Clayton of Centralia and two sisters, Mrs, Harry Crone (Jane) of Exeter and Mrs. Frank Smyth (Elsie) of Cen- tralia. Four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren also survive, Funeral services were held at the Hopper Hockey Funeral Home in Exeter May 24; interment in Exeter Cemetery. Pallbearers at the service were Maurice Crone, Borden Smyth, Samuel Rollins, Robert Flynn, Melvin Edwards and Ancell Lee, supporters in the northern por- tion is 1,746, the same area having an equalized separate school assessment of $15,523,672, In the southern half there are 1,636 separate school supporters, representing an equalized separate school assessment of $15,203,462, The clerk of Hay Township will be responsible for nominations and elections in the southern portion while the clerk of McKillop will have that responsibility in the north. It is the public school electoral districts which are causing the problems, Some remain un- changed — Stephen, Exeter and Usborne are still one area; Hay, Zurich and Hensall remain together; Ashfield and West Wawanosh, Goderich Township and Colborne, and the Town of Goderich still form three elec- toral districts. The rest are changing; and some are content with the proposed alterations, Clinton and Tuckersmith have been placed together for the first time and Stanley and Bayfield have been paired up, These changes are not in dispute. Sea forth was originally lumped with Tuckersmith, Stanley and Hayfield for school purposes and that area electing two representatives. The new proposal would put Seaforth in with McKillop and Hullett. Other changes in that corner of the county would put East Wawanosh, Blyth and Morris together; Brussels and Grey together, and Wingham, Turn- berry and Howick together. It is this total area which is in dispute where the proposed boundary changes are con- cerned. The Huron County Board of Education favored the re- tention of the existing Electoral Districts for public school pur- poses, with the Brussels, Gray, Morris area representation being cut by one, GENEVA NORTHCOTT Geneva (Johnston) Northcott, wife of the late Frank Northcott, died at Strathroy Hospital, May 20 in her 80th year. She is sur- vived by a daughter, Mrs. Romelda Brown and a sister,Mrs. Ada Rundal of Watford. Three grandchildren and one great grandchild also survive. She was predeceased by a brother, Garnet. Funeral services were held from the Harper Funeral Home in Watford May 22; in- terment in Alvinston Cemetery. HAROLD MASON Harold Mason passed away suddenly at his residence May 23 in London. He was in his 68th year. Husband of Jessie (Steeper) Mason, father of Mrs. Marg Duggan, Mrs. Mona Hart, Ross and Paul, all of London, Brother of Mrs. Blanche Hodgins, Centralia and Mrs. Edna Hodgins, Parkhill, He is also survived by 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, Funeral services will be held May 27 from the A. Millard George Funeral Home in London, Interment in Woodland Cemetery, If everything goes as planned, Exeter and area should have a new arena and multi-purpose hall ready for use by June of 1977. It will be located in Exeter Com- munity Park. This was approved by Exete'r Council some weeks ago and the South Huron Recreation Centre Committee (SHRCC) a group of citizens appointed by Council a year and a half ago, has been authorized to engage an architect to come up with final building plans for the structure. SHRCC has also been put in charge of the all-important fund-raising campaign. Beginning on June 14, that committee will begin their campaign with a canvass of local industry and businesses. There are 257 of them in the area, SHRCC says and each one will be approached for a donation to the new recreation centre. After the business community has been canvassed , it will be time to canvass private households. The committee will approach about 2,000 families in all. Half of those families live in Exeter with the remainder residing in Usborne and portions of Stkphen and Hay Townships where the citizens would be most apt to take ad- vantage of an arena located in Exeter. It is hoped that half a million dollars will be raised through donations. Total cost of the arena and hall has been projected at $1 million, Grants would cover the cost of the other $500,000 half from Wintario and half from a community centre grant. The latter is dependent for a portion of money on grant application support from Usborne Township Council. A letter has been received from Usborne in- dicating that Council is ready to apply for the necessary grants and would also be prepared to kick in with about $3,000 a year in operational costs. A "one shot" direct donation from Stephen Township is also a possibility. The campaign for a new Exeter arena has come a long way since word first was received from the province that the old arena was condemned. From a dream shared by a group of concerned citizens during many long months of careful planning, came the reality of the first two sub- stantial donations a couple of weeks ago when Conklin Lumber brought forth a cheque for $5,000 and Jerry MacLean handed the committee $1,000 raised through the Western Jamboree, John Stephens, chairman of SHRCC , has indicated that the committee is close to a final choice for an architect. They have been looking at several different offers during the past few weeks. When a choice has 4•440wwwwwowo* been made, Exeter Council will look the plans over and provide final approval. Apparently with all the talk of a swimming pool at one time, many area residents are still not sure what the new recreation centre will include. It will be an arena and hall, with the hall available for various community functions. No swimming pool or for that matter, any other facility is planned for at this time. The fund-raising campaign and the applications for government grants are for construction of an arena and hall, period. In addition to approving the project and authorizing SHRCC to raise funds and make grant applications, Exeter Council has Two vehicles are stolen Two vehicles were stolen on Sunday, May 23, according to Exeter OPP, Both have been recovered, Richard Ridley, 108 Lawrence Avenue in Huron Park reported that his 1970 Plymouth had been- stolen from the lot at the Huron Park arena. The vehicle was recovered on Con. 2, Stephen Township, but if, had been damaged. Const. Quinn is in- vestigating, Damage was estimated at $400. Earl Lippert of Crediton also reported that his'vehicletadbeen stolen. His 1973 Chevrolet had been taken from his residence. The truck was recovered on Con. 6 of Hay Township. Exeter OPP report that Jean Pierre Laporte, 14, of RR 2, Zurich suffered undetermined injuries Saturday when a jack slipped that was being used to jack up the front end of a mobile home at Grand Cove Estates, Grand Bend. Const, Christiaen is investigating. Tapes and a CB radio were stolen from a vehicle owned by Bruce Beemer, 1284 Crammery Park, London on Thursday, along with a 8 m.m. movie camera while the vehicle was parked at the North Star Yacht Club in Huron Park. Coast. Osterloo is investigating. Hotson Propane, located on Highway 21 was broken into on Saturday and $48 in cash was taken. Sunday a vehicle operated by Brian Hoggarth of RR 2, Grand Bend left the road and collided with a mailbox, Damage was set at $3,000 by Const. Straughan who is investigating. given the committee assurance that if private fund-raising falls short of the $500,000 mark, the town will provide the remainder through debenture. Members of Council, as well as members of SIIRCC are of the opinion that the centre should be built without dipping into town money, but the assurance was given by Council to provide a guarantee that the project will go through as planned, provided the govern- ment grants are approved, Members of SHRCC are sure that there will be little difficulty in obtaining those grants. The private donation fund- raising effort will be as all- encompassing as possible, ac- cording to chairman Stephens. In addition to area residents and businesses, the committee will canvass companies which are "out of town suppliers" for donations, as well as foundations which contribute funds to wor- thwhile causes. "We're not sure how far we'll get with some of these organizations, but we're going to try anyway", Stephens said. The finance committee of SIIRCC has come up with a list of 157 different ways to raise funds `for the arena and the committee hopes to use as many of the ideas as it can. The committee wants to make it as easy for persons to donate as possible. If a person is not able to donate all of the money that he or she would like to give now, the committee suggests donating what can be afforded now and the remainder at a later time. Payroll deduction plans will be introduced to the larger com- panies in the area in hopes that employees might like to con- tribute a small amount each week. John Stephens has said that it is more important to get all of the money that a particular donor wants to give by asking for some now and some next year if it means a bigger donation in the long run_ All of the funds are not needed in 1976 and donations made in 1977 will be almost as welcome as donations made this year, In fact, by 1977 they will be even more welcome. Construction of the new recreation centre is scheduled to get underway in early Septemer, The committee will hire one of several contractors that has given assurances that the structure can be enclosed by December so that inside work can proceed throughout the winter, opening up the possibility of winter works grants to com- FUND-RAISING MEETING — Ron Bogart, left, Chairman of SHRCC Finance Committee presents the logo for the new recreation centre to canvassers JoAnne Dinney and Kim McLean at a meeting held May 19.

June, of next year, about one year away from this very moment, has been set as the target for completion. According to the committee it is a reasonable amount of time to get the job done properly. If the arena could be used next summer, it would provide yet another avenue for fund-raising, according to Stephens. Roller skating, bingo, and dance proceeeds could all go towards financing the centre and during a season when there are minimal operational costs to diminish the profit. So its "don't look back" and "full speed ahead" for the Exeter arena campaign. What it boils down to is a need for funds and supporters at this stage of the game and the residents of this area are going to have to decide whether a new recreation centre is what this community needs.
