ACCIDENTS OCCUR DURING
BLINDING SNOW STORM
Toronto Man Killed Near New Mani-
biu’g-
For several hours Thursday af
ternoon of last week motorists ex
perienced one of the most blinding
snow-storms of the season and in
consequence there were auite a num
ber of motor accidents. The high
way, which has been opened up thro’
the huge drifts has only a one-way
track and • during Thursday after
noon s storm visability was next to
impossible.
One of- the major accidents took
place about a half mile east of New
Hamburg when Archie Etherington,
of Usborne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Al
bert Etherington was on his way to
Kitchener with a load of 36 hogs.
His truck collided with a car driven
by Harry L. Tay.or, of Toronto, and
the lattex* lost his life. Mr. Tayloi'
the Panther
IVUH'VW VzU., UX PUVIM uuxi.e, Que.
With two passengers he was on his
way to Stratford. The drivers fail-
vide heating for these rooms and j few feet apart; and the attem.(pt to
toiiets. lhe portion to be used as ? turn out tihe wheels of both the truck
a skating rink would be approxi- ■ and the car caught in an ice rut and
mately 7'6 feet wide with an ice sur- • before either could get out they
face of 66x160 feet with five foot I crashed head-on. The top of Taylor's
space for spectators on either side I car was complete’y torn off and the
and space at either end also for ■ two passengers with him
.vectatois. A raised platform would '
..•xovide for a bandstand. Tlhe Exetei’
t'arr board has agreed to donate
tivo acres of .and. The reeve stat
ed that the estimated cost was be
tween $8,000 and $9,000, These
tjg,.res were not definite but were
ba,‘-ed on the estimate of a competi-
tent engineer whose, company had
built many such buildings. The plan
outlined was only suggestive and a
definite p.an was needed before a
onfinite price cou d be secured.
Mr. George Lawson stated that
Mr. Pryde had given a good outline
of tihe proposition but that there
seemed to be souie dissatisfaction in
the size of the ice surface. Some oft
the hockey players would like to see |
it a little larger. i
Mr. J. A. Traquair said that he;
had been associated with the hock- |
»y teams of Exeter for several years •
and that the only reason today that1
Exeter has not a good hockey team
was because there was no rink. Skat- I
ing was wonderful exercise and the .
fresh air was good for a person. He
would _ike to see a good ice surface. 1
Mr. F. W. Gladman stated that he
»as one of the oldest tax-payers in!
the village. He felt that a building
adapted to so many useful purposes >
would be a good thing for the village
J irents are concerned about the | 'young peop'e standing around the!
streets with no place to go. If we
can provide healthful recreation for
several nights a week no one can es
timate the value to the boys and
girls. Another aspect that should
not be overlooked was the fact that
in the past 1i0 or 40 years there has
not been erected in Exeter any pub
lic building of any importance ex
cept the Public Library and that was
a gift. We are today using the
buildings erected Iby our forefathers.
We are debtors to the geneartion
before us. Now when we have the
opportunity let us put up a building
that will be suitable for the needs
and with a suitable setting. There
is no better time fox’ the building of
such a building as at present. Prices
are at thei’ lowest and interest rates
on borrowed money are reasonable.
Spread ovei* ten years the annual
cost to the ratepayers would be $1,-
109.61, or about a mill and a third.
He believed that the council should
take immediate action.
Mr. W. D. Sanders spoke in oppos
ition to the project stating that the
retired farmer .had nevei’ been con
sulted. •
roadin,g
that all
dence.
ly fixed build it by all means, but
the people should be consulted. The
income of the retired farmer had
been cut down and the retired farm
er had not been represented on the
committee. Building projects, he
said, were neVer kept withi,n the es
timate. He Stated that the new
Sidewalks laid last yeai’ had cost
double the estimate. This statment
Was objected, to by the reeve who
stated that the cost of the sidewalks
wias something like one hundred
dollars ovei’ the estimate. The state
ment that the retired farmers had
not been consulted, was also chal
lenged.
Mr. J. G. 'Stanfoury K.C., stated
that the estimated life of tlie build
ing was thirty years and ih>e thought
the. debentures should be extended
ovex* fifteen years which would
amount’annually to $809.15 or about t
on mill on the dollar. At that rate !
the annual cost to the average I
householder of the village of Exeter I
would be one dollar per year. j
A resolution was passed that the meeting go on record as being in fa- !
voi* of going ahead with such a [
building as proposed and that a committee of three be appointed to pre-1
sent the resolution to the council.!
Messrs, Geo. Lawson, R. G. Seldon ;
and Fred Ellerington .were elected as tlie committee. |
The following evening the commit- tee met the council at a special'
meeting and after considerable dis- >
mission it was decided to secure de-1
finite plans and estimates and to 1
submit the same to tihe ratepayers, i
TO RATEPAYERS
The committe appointed at a
cent public meeting to procure
formation with) reference to
erecting of a building to be used as
a skating rink, for agricultural iajr
purposes and as a recreational centre
for the scholars at the Exeter school,
brought in their report at .a second
public meeting in the Town Hall on
Wednesday evening of last week,
Reeve Thos. Pryde was in the
chair and produced several blue
prints of rinks erected in other
places as well as a rough sketch of
what was proposed for Exeter. He
Stated that the committee ,had met
with the representative of a large
sheet metal manufacturing concern and a rough sketch had been drawn
up of a b’ui ding 86 feet wide at the
front and with a depth of 215 feet.
This would include a large room at

FRACURED HIP
While on her way to visit at the
home of Mis. S. Parsons Thursday
morning of last week Mrs. F. Gill
had the misfortune to fall on the icy
road fracturing lher hip. The acci
dent happened on the highway just

Mrs. Gill was removed to lher home

approaching truck and had stopped
his car, applied the biakes and
sounded his horn. His own lights
were on at the time. Damage was
done to the radiator, the fenders,
steering gear and the glass in one of
the doors was broken, estimated at
about $75.00. Fortunately both
