Difficulty
Two closely:connected town organ-
1xations -the Exeter Recreational Council
and the Community Centres Board --have
,experienced considerable difficulty in the
last two years because of infrequent meet-
ings and bookkeeping problems.
Neither of the boards has regular
monthly or bi-monthly meetings to look
after their important town business. Be-
tween the two or them, they handle
around; $25,000 public funds a year. They
spend approximately $7,000 in wages each.
year for the recreational director and his
assistant, who operate the arena in ad-
dition to organizing sports and other 'ac-
tivities.
Both boards have had trouble secur-
ing a secretary -treasurer -who is willing to
.handle the complicated finances of each
organization. Those who have -volunteered
have found the work involves more of
their time than they wish to contribute.
One secretary -treasurer requested to be
replaced two years ago but is still in of-
fice.
These difficulties result in some un-
fortunate mistakes, One chairman said re-
cently one of the employees received va-
cation pay twice in one year. There seems
to be frequent misunderstandingsbetween
the boards .over financial matters. The
boards seldom review, question or super-
vise the activities of their employees be-
cause they rarely meet.
'We realize neither hoard has an easy,
pleasant or rewarding task and we• know
it is hard to get members to fill the posts
but their jobs are important to the com-
munity. They might solve their bookkeep-
ing problem by combining the positions
and offering someone a worthwhile sti-
pend to keep their accountsistraight. This,
with the stablishment of regular meetings,
could repair an unfortunate situation.
Roses
The Times -Advocate extends con-
gratulations to a neighboring friend, The
Clinton News -Record, which won signifi-
cant honors in the Canadian Weekly News-
papers Association Better Newspapers
Competition at Vancouver this month.
The Clinton paper was tied for see,
and best ail -round, third for best editorial
page and third for best front page in its
.class of over 2,000 circulation.
Well done !
Forms Of Gov't

was kindly contributed. by Rev. C. Mills
of Woodham who discovered it on a match
cover in Montreal.)
Socialism:
You have two cows, you give one to
your neighbour.
Communism;
You have two cows, you .give both to
the government which gives you part of
the milk,
Fascism:
You have two cows, you keep both
cows,and give the milk to the govern-
ment which lets you buy part of it back.
American New Deal;
You have two cows, the government
shoats one, buys the milk from the other
and pours, it down the sewer.
Nazism
You have two cow• s, the government
shoots .you and takes both cows and sells
the milk.
Capitalism:
You have two'cows, you sell one and
buy a bull.
social Credit:
You shoot the bull.
Bow much do you miss .of Exeter
Fair when it comes to town?
A lot of people never do get to see
all the things on display at the local fair
--there's too much. going on to take it all
in,
Many ,nen fail to see the tempting
pies and cakes displayed by the women
and a lot of the women never see the live-
stock exhibited by the men,
The •prize list of the loyal fair in-
dicates there are more than 30 pages of
different competitions, ranging from pro-
jects of grade one children to' four -horse
hitches. All of them are worthwhile see-
ing.
Too many people miss too much of
the fair. This year make it a point to
tour the arena, from front to . back, side
to side; to see the commercial displays;
look at the farm machinery; tour the mid-
way; visit the new livestock building;
watch the horse show and the perform-
ance by the all -girl band—in short awake
sure you see all the attractions of the fair.
We'll see you there.
Back To school
The children are back to school—
please drive carefully.
This is the time of year when every
motorist 'lust redouble his efforts to make
the streets safe for school children --and
children must be careful of their move-
ments where there is danger from traffic.
Both motoristsand students could
avoid accidents by observing the following
rules:
RULES FOR ALL MOTORISTS,
1. Adhere to all speed restrictions in
school zones.
2. Watch and obey the school safety
patrolmen.
3. Be sure you caii stop quickly in wet
and slippery weather.
4. Never pass a school bus unloading
children.
5. Watch for children darting out into
the street.
6. Be extra careful at all times, you
would not want to be responsible for
injuring or taking the life of a child.
7. • Check your car. Don't let bad brakes,
faulty steering or lazy windshield
wipers undo your careful driving.
RULES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN
1. Always -walk on sidewalks, or -well
away from the path of cars.
2. Cross streets carefully, stopping at the
Curb and looking both ways.
8: Never step into the street from behind
parked cars.
4. Be especially alert for traffic when
streets are wet or when carrying um-
brellas,
5. Walk on the left side of the highway,
facing traffic, when there are no side-
walks.
6, Obey police and school safety patrol-
men and respect traffic signals.
7. Always play on playgrounds and never
in the streets..
Ridkulous.
There are some who think '• it's dis-
graceful'that those touring Russians were
greeted with derision during their tour of
Canada. It was bad taste, they say, and
• spoiled Canada's reputation for inter-
national cordiality.
It would have been two-faced indeed
if this country had wined and dined the
Russians like visiting Royalty, as some
would have had it, without letting them
know we don't appreciate the campaign
their country has waged to gain control
over the world or the suffering they have
caused.
Perhaps those who demonstrated
against the Itussians would not be our best
diplomats, but they had courage enough
to say what they thought,

Names Make NewS
]One thing 1 learned early in
the newspaper business was that
a person's name or his picture is
mighty important to most individ-

make news. And 1 am no excep-

the papers on various occasions.
