Of the town's 1,980 eligible voters, 67 per cent were in favor of beer and wine in li- cenced dining rooms. The vote was 848 to 481. The sale of liquor in dining lounges received 930 yes votes and 432 negative checks, or more than 68 per cent in favor. •On the question to sell liquor in cocktail lounges, townsfolk approved 852 to 492 or more than 63 per cent. The other two questions on the ballot, beverage rooms to which ladies are admitted and beverage rooms for men only, were rejected. The Exeter Times -Advocate had come out strongly in favor of a dining lounge licence man- date Editor William Batten noted that local business was suffering because residents din- ing out for an evening or tour- ists passing through Exeter were going to other towns where liquor was served with meals.

Harold Snell, a former Exeter minister, was the special guest speaker at the official opening ceremonies on Monday evening of the new addition at South Huron District High School, In his remarks, Rev. Snell congratulated the prosperous and progressive people in the area for the provision of such fine facilities. He recalled some of the early history of the Exeter district, including the time when students were sup- plied only with a slate and slate pencil with which to pursue their studies. He cited a number of finan- cial changes such as teachers' salaries which ranged all the way from $48 to $400 per an- num and the cost of building the first Exeter High School— $6000 as opposed to the two and one-quarter million dollars spent on this newest addition to the existing building. Stressing the need for the in- volvement of everyone in the matter of education today, he urged young people to stay in school and avail themselves of the opportunities in the voca- tional setup provided for young people not adept at a strictly academic course. The new vocational facilities at SHDHS were praised as well by Hon. C. S. MacNaughton, provincial treasurer. He noted he was amazed to see the growth since the first school was built and since his term as chairman of the SHDHS board. R. E. McKinley, MP. said he was pleased to have assisted the board on several occasions to expedite the grants, etc., for the new accommodations.
