A ruby is added for five years' service and a sapphire after 10.

No money for portable floor Exeter council indicated this week they had no money for assisting in the proposed project 'to have a portable floor provided at the South Huron rec centre to enable ice to be installed earlier in the season. Exeter Minor Hockey Association president Bob Whiteford. was at Monday's meeting to outline plans for the flow and to present a request for financial assistance. While Mayor Bruce Shaw explained there were no contingency funds in this year's budget for such projects, the matter was turned over to the recreation committee at the urging of Councillor Gaylen Josephson. Shaw suggested that was going around in a circle in view of the fact the South Huron rec board also in- dicated they had no funds for the project. Whiteford said the cost has now been estimated at 15,800 and reported the flooring would consist of styrofoam insulation glued on the back of 7i16" aspenite. He reported that local ice enthusiasts would generate $4,100 in revenue for early ice in September and agreed that 'the cost for operating the ice during the month would probably run between 14,000 and $5,000. Shaw and Councillor Dorothy Chapman suggested it would be better for local enthusiasts to go Huron Park until ice is installed in Exeter after the local fair. The hockey group president noted that this was passible, but not convenient and suggested that the rec centre should be used. He said the EMHA would pay $1,000 0l the cost involved and all the groups interested in early ice would supply the labor for putting the floor down for the fair and then removing it. Josephson, also a minor hockey coach, said it would make local teams more competitive, agreeing with Whiteford that they were at a disadvantage in having so little time to pick teams and get them into shape before their season opens. Lucan Scout activities June 29, Boy Scouts of • Canada Huron District presented four adult members with long service awards. Retiring District Commissioner Walter Thomas made the presen- tations at the District Council meeting in Exeter.
