The chief said the club had been is- sued an average of one permit every 31 days in May and June. 0--0--0 ONE YEAR AWAY— Better start saving all your loose change. A Wednesday re- lease from Ottawa states that color TV broadcasting will start October lst next year. 0--0--0 A LITTLE BARE— The main drag looks a bit sadder than usual for this time of year.

James Coulter, public school inspector for Huron No. 2 in- spectorate, officially opened the fair after he was introduced by Bill Elston of the fair board. Mr. Coulter said that the Belgrave show is the one truly school fair in the county. It is devoted to school work and nothing else, and he felt that this was why it has been so suc- cessful over such a long period of time. He pointed out that there were 64 classes for school work, and went on to compliment both students and teachers for their efforts, He took only one exception to the displays, when he pointed to a scrap book on the life of President Kennedy and remarked that there must be famous Canadians that could be remembered in a similar way. Mr. Coulter, himself an ex- hibitor at the fair when he was a boy attending the Stone School in Morris Township, re- marked that the board deserved credit for providing the present facilities, a great improvement over days gone by. Also called on were Stewart Procter, reeve of Morris, and Ernie Snell, reeve of East Wa- wanosh as well as Doug Miles, agricultural representative. According to some of the fair directors, the crowd was not quite as large as in the past. This may have been accounted for by the threat of rain during the morning and early after- noon, which fortunately did not materialize, Livestock exhi- bits were not as numerous as in previous years but quality was tops, showing a steady im- provement with the passing of time. Hall exhibits demonstrated the ability of the children at- tending school in the two town- ships to produce work of which they and their teachers may be Boost the Value of Your Dollar -- Shop in Wingham This week a large group of Wingham merchants open an eight-week "Harvest of Values" sales promotion which will bring fascinating opportunities to shoppers in town and district.

Rebate System in Use for Classifieds Commencing this week a new system of charges for clas- sified advertising has been es- tablished at The Advance - Times office. Chief purpose of the change is to provide savings for those who pay promptly for classified ads telephoned to the A -T office or brought to our office. In the past we have always experienced considerable losses in the collection of accounts for classified advertising. A surprisingly large number of people who telephone ads to the office simply forget all about paying for them --even when two, three and sometimes four reminders are mailed to them. In future those advertise- ments which are charged will be billed and the statement re- ceived by the customer will in- dicate the amount of discount which will be allowed for prompt payment. If payment is not received within the time specified the discount will not be allowed and the advertiser will sacrifice a worthwhile sav- ing. HURONVIEW ADDITION Archteds to Proceed With Working Drawings GODERICH--Construction of an addition to Huronview is ex- pected to commence early in the new year. The Ontario Municipal Board has approved the plans, and authorized coun- cil to call for tenders, The board of management report, presented to county council on onday by Reeve Elgin Thomp- son, Tuckersmith, recommend- ed and obtained approval for the architects to proceed with specifications and working drawings, Tenders will be pre- sented at the January session. The architects are Snider, Hug - et and March, of Waterloo and Goderich. Cost of the acraition, to pro- vide 75 beds, as set last Jan- uary at $550,000, Reeve F. A. Clift, Bayfield, enquired on Monday if there had been any change and Mr. Snider said: "We have increased it, but how much it Is difficult to say. We hope to build early in the year, when costs are not as great as at the present time." Committee chairman Thorn!" son said the department had agreed with a recommendation that the addition be tied to- gether with present buildings by means of an administration wing. "By having the administra- tion area located in such a position," he said, "it was our feeling that we would save con- siderable money as far as office staff is concerned; also it makes it much more convenient for the general public, who will have only one main entrance to go into when they visit the home. This joint link is a wonderful thing. "There has been great dis- cussion regarding structure of the roof, in view of poor results over past years. We looked at a lot of roofs in the past week. Our proposed structure is basic- ally a roof pitched from out- side to centre on a scale of ap- proximately eight inches to 20 feet, the centre core area hav- ing a slight pitch from the ad- ministration wing to northern extremities."
