Darling's Food Market & Abattoir THE Place To Buy Meat! n Oppose Trustee Council Huron to continue The Huron County Board of Education voted unanimously Monday to disregard a sugges- tion from the Ontanip School Trustees Council that trustees "fight fire with fire" in salary negotiations. - The Trustees Council meeting in Toronto Saturday askedthe 141 school boards in the province to refuse to enter into salary talks with teachers in 1975. The proposed refusal to bargain would continue until ap- propriate provincial legislation is passed which defines the terms of reference for collective bargaining with teachers in On- tario. After hearing from 1974 board chairman Cayley Hill and pre- - sent vice-chairman Herb Turkheim members agreed to. carry on present salary talks with teachers. Architect Continued from front page Councillor Ted Wright question- ed "No." Mayor Shaw replied, ad- ding that each member had his own ideas on what should be in- cluded Councillor Harold Patterson backed qie .move to hire an ar- chitect. He said council could end up spending twice as much as the $750 fee "if you don't know what you're doing." Hicks re-entered the discussion to suggestan architect could get away from having only a "square box" and would prepare plans to get something we'll be proud of. "It's like a home," Councillor Lossy Fuller explained, "a kit- chen needs a good floor plan to be functional and I feel we need help." Councillor Tom MacMillan opted that amateurs often don't know how things will turn out when they embark upon renovation programs and said they usually lose more -in correcting errors than in hiring someone' to plan the project properly in the first place. He said the $750 could be "inexpensive." - While council members managed to reach a decision on the hiring of an architect, there was a further difference of opinion on what the cost of the renovattliprogram could be. Mayor Bruce Shaw estimated the total cost could amount to between $25,000 and $30,000. Reeve Derry Boyle said he was willing to bet a functional building could be obtained bx._ spending about $15,000. To this Councillor Simpson replied that Boyle had obviously altered his thinking. noting that the Reeve had previously told him that about $5,000 would be all that was required. Boyle explained' that $11,000 had already been set aside in a special fund for municipal offices and that this would be available for the renovation program. HP fire debate continued from front page told by aulhoritiesin Toronto not to attend an open meeting. OIC has agreed to meet at anytime with an authorized delegation from Huron Park After the meeting a Huron Park delegation along with Riddell and Stephen councillors did meet with Huron Park manager Jack Malone and Ross Waddell and Mr. Rogers of ODC in Toronto The Huron Park Ratepayers Association has been re- organized with Jack O'Neil1K returned as president. Mrs Glenda Lather as secretary and treasurer Bob Reynolds. Two vice-presidents will be named later. Only single crash for Pinery area Only one accident was in- vestigated this week by officers of the Pinery Park detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. It occurred Saturday when a vehicle driven by Theodore Kelders, RR 2, Grand Bend left Highway 21 at the Pinery Park and struck a highway sign. • Constable R. D. Hendley set damages at $225. Detachment officers in- vestigated a total of 27 oc- currences and laid five Highway Traffic Act charges and two for Motorized Snow Vehicle Act infractions. Senior apts Continued from front .page townships in the senior citizen apartments. - "I've always considered that we're one community here." Councillor Tom MacMillan commented in endorsing the idea to open the facility to residents from all three communities on the basis of merit. After the decision was made unanimously, Mayor Shaw said he thought that was the right thing to do. • .Council had also sent letters to Zurich, Hensall and Hay Township to determine their In referring to a headline in Monday's Globe and Mail which read "School boards urged to shun teacher pay talks' Hill said "11 wits shocking and sickening." . Hill' continued. "It's a sad commentary on the education structure.- We have first class Times -Advocate, February 20, 1975 Page 3 salary 'relations with the teachers in Huron." In referring to the statement made by London trustee Judy White that boards "fight fire with fire" Hill said, "This tactic won't solve .any problems but only make more. The only losers will be our children" "If this attitude of the Trustee Council is continued, I would ask our Huron board to disassociate from them" he added. Turkheim reiterated Hill's comments saying, "I'm com- pletely disgusted With the trustee DISNEY CHARACTERS The Wonderful World of Disney will be the theme of Saturday's Exeter figure skating club carnival at the Exeter arena.

Police officials study report. .Continuerom front page made such a request to the OPP at the time of the contract. --The OPP could assume policing in towns within three to four month; after the initial request came from municipal councils- -The officers assigned to municipal duties from the local OPP detachments would rotate between rural and urban duties. --While the ()PP has no ex- pansion philosophy at the present. there are areas in which they have been happy to assume policing because on many oc- casions they are required to provide back-up services for small municipal forces. The $5 per capita police grant would still be paid to the towns regardless of which .alternate they choose for policing. Discussion revealed that in Ontario, at present. there are several inequitable situations regarding the costs paid for OPP services. • Exeter Reeve Darry 'Boyle noted that Blenheim doesn't pay anything for the service. OPP chairman Elmer Bell said this was correct and explained it was now the purpose of the Ontario government to create more equitable situations. He also noted that by having the OPP assume policing. "a lot of little problems i for municipalities) won't •be there". That was in reference to the amount of time spent by municipal councils in dealing with police matters. However. Mr. Bell quickly' added it would mean giving up some responsibilities, which would be assumed by the OPP. "I'm' not telling you if it would he better or worse," he quickly noted. He also told those in atten ance that a county force as suggested by some "is unattainable". He based that opinion on the fact that it would mean imposing taxes on rural communities who presently pay no direct taxation for policing. "If you put it to a county vote. you know what the outcome would be," he said. • The OPC chairman also noted Two ordered to trial on weapons charge Two men appeared in Exeter Provincial Court Tuesday. in a preliminary hearing on a charge of having possession of a shotgun. dangerous to public peace. Gregory Paul Little, and Barry Jerald Begeman. both of Goderich, were charged following the alleged offence August 7. 1974. Testifying at the hearing• one witness said he was at Les Pines Hotel on August 7. 1974 with friends. He said two men ap- proached them, one being Begeman, and invited the five at the table outside to fight. The witness later testified that he thought after the waiter bad thrown the two out, they had left the premises. He said when he went outside, Little had possesssion of a hunting knife, and Begeman was pointing a shotgun at him. The witness said when he drove away to tell police of the incident. Little was pointing the shotgun at other cars. Crown Attorney W.G. Cochrane. Q.C. entered into evidence a knife in a sheath and a shotgun. The first witness said both weapons appeared to be the same ones from the offence. but he had not been close enough to be sure. The witness also said he had no argument with either Little or Begeman, and did not know them previously. "I thought they were .hopped up on dope or drunk and thought they were going to blow my brains out." he .said. He also said, when cross- examined by Little. that no shots had been fired, and had been told by polite officers that the gun had not been loaded. A second witness said Begeman had the knife strapped to him when he first entered the hotel. He said he heard no argument and had. not previously known the two accused. • interest, but no affirmative replied were received. OHC pays for the project, but the three area councils will have to foot a portion of any operating deficits that may arise. Constable Peter Louwe, of the -London City Police. said he stopped a car containing Little and Begeman, and others, after he heard a radio broadcast from Exeter police. He hid he found a shotgun wrapped in a blanket in the trunk and a knife fell out of the car when the door was opened He testified that the two weapons in evidence were the same as he found in the car. He said the four occupants of the car were turned over to Exeter police. Louwe also said all occupants were checked for sobriety at London. and all did seem to be sober Begeman and Little were, committed to stand trial on Tuesday April 8 in county court. Goderich. that the retention of local forces with improved communication system would provide -municipalities with a.„better communication system than the OPP now have. However. he said the OPP were presently studying theircommunication system and, would probably have a much better system in operation in the near future. Mayor Shaw. in summarizing the advantages of the OPP, said municipalities would have trained personnel. better equipment. professional ex- pertise and "perhaps" lower costs. - He cited the main disadvantage as being a loss of autonomy. He also noted that if present members of local forces could not be absorbed into the OPP due to not . meeting minimum requirements. it was his opinion they shouldn't be serving on In answer to a question regarding the hours of service to be provided by the OPP, Staff Supt. Wellesley said it takes 5.2 men to provide 24-hour service every day of the year. "1 don't feel small towns ,require that type of policing." he said.

With the guidance of Cayley we have built up a feeling of trust with our teachers." He continued, "In Toronto the suggestion was made that we fight across the bargaining table. In Huron we don't bargairoacross the table but talk in a very infor- mal manner in the lounge here. We trust each;other." In his .concluding remarks Cayley Hill said. "Trustees were terribly upset about a situation in Windsor. but remember two wrongs don't make a right." Huron board chairman Wilfred Shortreed said a small minority of the Toronto delegates felt friendly talks across the table were still needed. "but it was very small." Lack of funds cuts program Due to lack of funds, Exeter council may not be able to un- dertake all the road and drain work they hoped this_ year Monday night, they agreed to proceed on two projects but there was no indication if other projects earlier cited as priorities this year could be undertaken. Part of that decision will have to be held in abeyance until a decision has been given by the -provincial government afi whether a supplementary sub- sidy will be allocated, - The first priority to be un- dertaken is the reconstruction of Andrew St.. but only between Gidley and John St. and not all the way to James as originally planned. The second project will be to. extend the new Anne St. drain from its terminal on Edward St. north to Sanders. Public works committee chairman Ted Wright said_ that it was hoped a sup- plementary subsidy would be received so this storm drain could then be extended east on Sanders to Pryde. Later council passed a motion "with regrets" authorizing the removal of 10 trees on Andrew•cSt. to facilitate the work planned. Only five of the trees will be removed this year. Wright said some of the trees were almost at the point of requiring removal due to age. although he said a couple of small maples could possibly be tran- splanted if council wished. By removing the trees. the street width would then provide parking from sidewalk to sidewalk Works superintendent Glenn Kells told council tbat the trees would probably die shortly after the _ project was ' completed because most of their root systems would be cut off during the construction.

In about a month a question- naire will be circulated throughout asking -ratepayers of Exeter and outlying areas their priorities for recreational facilities. After Tuesday's open meeting at the Exeter public school• complex chairman John Stephens. said. "our committees have done a lot of work in most areas, but we certainly haven't decided what will be built or when or where." In recent weeks, committee members have visited complexes and new arenas in. Tillsonburg. liowick, Mitchell. Walkerton and Mooretown. At each meeting. the condition of the present Exeter arena is discussed. Several years. ago RAP was told repairs were needed to the robf and the structure itself. Only recently. the Ministry of Labour has again asked for survey on the building's condition. During Tuesday's meeting Harvey Pfaff asked "What happens if a massive ammonia leak occurs at the arena tonight or this heavy wet snow continues and the roof gives way. What happens to the balance of our hockey program for thisyearand likely next year?" Recreation director Jim McKinlay said he likes to think the discussion now going on for a recreation complex which would include an arena is "positive planning and not, crisis plan- ning." McKinlay added. "lf something happened to the arena or it was ordered to be closed down by government officials then we would certainly have to do crisis planning." McKinlay went on to explain various possibilities to obtain grants for building a complex. He is currently checking the fe#sibility of provincial or Local lotteries and added he found out only this week that some of the profits from the Olympic lotteries are available lo aid recreational facilities Don Reid. area consultant for the Ontario Sports and Recreation Bureau was ih at- tendance and laid nut step by step plans which a committee should incorporate in to their program. He listed seven steps on the ladder to completion of the complex idea. It started with identifying the problem; gathering data, developing a program. assessing feedback, public approval. start to build and building completion. Reid stressed the importance of a committee building a trust relation with the public and giving everyone in the com- munity a chance to convey their feelings. The next meeting, of the committee will he held Wed- nesday. March 19 at 8 p.m. at'the Exeter rublic School library. 1
