HS BOARD APPROVES ADDITION
that it will serve as a team
teaching room. The second shop
is at the north side of the exist-
ing one,
An extension is proposed on
the north side of the original
gymtorium to house a third
boiler for the heating plant and
storage equipment for the boyS'
gymnasium.
These plans, however, are
tentative. The board cannot hire
an architect officially until it
receives approval from the mu-
nicipal board.
The department of education
has authorized maximum grant
for the addition, which is $25,-
000 per classroom or a total
of $150,000, Its estimate of
total cost, however, is $197,-
900, because of the extra ex-
penses involved In dovetailing
the building, joining services,
and providing for the larger
heating capacity. Architects'
rough estimates total $225,000.
The board may be able to
effect some saving through, the
new municipal loan fund es-
tablished by the federal gov't
and administered by the pro-
vinces. A directive from
Queen's Park indicates the
board can claim a certain por-
tion of the allotment to each
municipality for a 5 1/4%
loan, of which 25% will be
absorbed by Ottawa. The board
plans to investigate the pos-
sibility of using the fund, which
may reduce cost by some $6,-
500.
Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Ersman
has purchased the C 1 if f ord
White building on MainSt. at the
corner of Anne. The Ersman's
daughter, Mrs. William Perry,
will re-open the ice cream
store at the corner under the
name of Donna's Ice Cream Bar
and the apartments above will
be operated under the name C-
Bea.

ported the board ended its 1963
operations in the red, the first

HSDHS board elects Kenneth Johns '64 chairman
Kenneth Johns, veteran representative from Usborne township, was chosen chairman of HSDHS
board at its inaugural meeting Tuesday night. He succeeds Larry Snider becoming the fourth chair-
man of the district body. Roy Morenz, Stephen, is the new vice-chairman. The board has three
new members this year — Elmer D. Bell, QC, and Dr. R. W. Read, both of Exeter, and Herb Klopp,
Hay township. Shown with the new chairman (seated), are from left, Mr. Bell, Mr. Klopp and Vice-
Chairman Morenz. --T-A photo
HSDHS board agreed Tues-
day night to seek approvals
from district councils to pro-
ceed with its proposed six-
room addition.
The move follows endorse-
ment of the Ontario Dep't of
Education for the e x tension
which will cost from $200,000
to $225,00a The department will
pay grant on an approved por-
tion of $150,000.
The board will ask for im-
mediate support from the coun-
cils since the accommodation
will be needed by September.
Following approvals from the
councils, permission will be
sought from the Ontario Muni-
cipal Board to float a deben-
ture loan.
This will be the third ad-
dition to the school which was
erected in 1948 to accommo-
date 400 students. Capacity will
be increased to nearly 900.
In a letter to councils mail-
ed Wednesday, the board em-
phasized that the need for ac-
commodation is "not tempor-
ary" and "will not disappear
with temporary measures'e
Even with the proposed addition
to the vocational school at Clin-
ton, "we will have enough stu-
dents to fill our quota and
carry a school of 1,000 stu-
dents in South Huron as well
by 1970."
VIEW SKETCHES
Tuesday night the board view-
ed tentative sketches prepared
by an architectural firm show-
ing the location of the proposed
classrooms and changes re-
quired to provide them,
The sketches provided for
three classrooms and a science
room on the second floor of the
east end. A fourth classroom
is suggested at the north side
of the cafeteria in such a way
car crash Dec. 1, Blaine con-
tested the charge. '
Barry Prowse, 18, Goderich,
whose car struck that of Blaine,
and Norman Tripp, Centralia,
both testified Blaine did not
stop before entering the inter-
section. Witnesses for the de-
fence, Jack McNaughton and
Jane IVIcNaughton, supported
Blaine's evidence that he did
stop about 15 feet from the
highway.
Magistrate Hays noted the
conflicting evidence but said
the proper place to stop at an
intersection is right at the edge
of the highway, not at the stop
sign. PC Reid investigated.
DISMISSED
A charge of failing to give
the right of way from a private
road against Donald Reid, Hen,
sail, was dismissed by Magis-
trate Hays after the accused
said his car stalled while he
was attempting to back out of his
garage in a laneway.
Alfred Scholl, Hensall, who
collided with Reid on Wellington
St., Hensall, said damage to the
two vehicles amounted to about
$350.00. Scholl also testified the
Reid car was moving at the time
of the impact.
The magistrate said R e id
should have yielded the right of
way regardless of any existing
circumstances. However, the
breaking of the law was so
technical in this case, he dis-
missed the charge, which had
been laid by Chief E. R. Davis,
Hensall.
TOO MUCH NOISE
Gary Trlebner, Kippen, paid
$5.00 and costs for unnecessary
noise in Hensall, Dec. 13, when
PC John Wright observed his
travelling at a high rate of
speed, causing his "Hollywood"
muffler to roar loudly.
Magistrate Glenn Hays, QC,
warned this week he's going to
raise fines for illegal posses-
sion of liquor and having it in
a place other than residence.
His warning came after three
area youths were fined a total
of $110.00 plus costs on such
charges.
"There are altogether too
many offences of this nature,"
said the magistrate. "It shows
the law is not being obeyed".
He indicated he would raise
the penalty in line with fines
being given by courts in more
urban areas.
Fined $50 and costs for haying
beer in his car was Donald
MacDonald, 23, Exeter. Ray-
mond Playfoot, 20, Zurich, and
Eddy Roelofs, 20, Exeter, each
paid $30 plus costs for having
beer and whiskey in their cars.
Both had been drinking at the
time. Charges were laid by PC
Harry Reid, Exeter Constables
Lloyd Hodgins and Harry Ber-
gen.
DISTURBANCE
Edward Webster, 25, London,
paid $50 and costs for causing a
disturbance at Hensel]. Arena,
Dec. '7.
Crown Attorney W. G. Coch-
rane, QC, said Webster was put
out of the arena for using pro-
fane language and attempting to
fight with others. He returned
to the rink and continued to
swear. Hensall Chief E. R.
Davis said Webster appeared
to be intoxicated.
Webster complained that
others were involved but they
were not charged.
TRAFFIC
Kenneth Connelly, Thedford,
was fined $25.00 as a result of
an accident Nov. 1 which occur-
red during construction on No.
4 south of Exeter. He pleaded
guilty to failing to turn out far
enough when he was overtaking
another car.
Fines of $15 each were paid
by James Sweitzer, 19, Victoria
St., for following too closely
and by William Pollen, 24, Lon-
don, for failing to yield the right
of way. Both were involved in
town accidents early inDecem-
ber, investigated by Constable
Bergen.
FAILS TO STOP
Gerald Paul Blaine, 21, Gran-
ton, paid $10 and costs after
being convicted of failing to stop
at the K ipp en intersection,

di
Bend people can afford this
amount.
The estimate given by the
OWRC after engineers had sur-
veyed the area, was $600,000
for the entire system. This in-
cluded an intake pipe in the
lake, and filtration system.
The committee propose s
finding water in wells, either
on the beach, or in an area about
one and one-half miles south
of the village, where quantities
of water are reported to be
obtainable in comparative-
ly shallow wells, probably six
to ten feet.
Councillor Ian Coles pre-
dicted that engineering work
he had requested from a Lon-
don group, would be completed
in a week.
Frank Plumb presented a
proposal that it was up to the
people to make the first move
— that the people should re--
quest the council to tax them a
certain amount, and with this
money get the job done.
Reeve Stewart Webb pointed
out that a four foot well on the
beach brings in 40 gallon per
minute for use in the bath
house, and though an attempt
was made to pump this supply

Snow sculptors busy
A. budding crop of sculptors has been displaying its talents in
snow on Victoria St. west. The laughing gent with the De Gaulle
nose sits on the lawn of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Jones. He was
"carved" by their son, Randy, with the assistance of Jeff Carroll
In the same block are the motor boat, a pleasant reminder that
warmer days are ahead, made by FO Dave Williamson, and a
rocket, ready for launching, fashioned by FO and Mrs. Bruce
Watson. The sculptors have plenty of material to work with,
despite some thawing during the past week. --T-A photos

Grand Bend's new water com-
mittee reported some favorable
figures to council at its in-
augural meeting Monday.
Though working unofficially
to date, the committee of three
has done a good bit of spade
work, and preliminary figures
are quite encouraging.
The members —Dr. E. A.
McMaster, Campbell Chapman
and John Manore —reported
their findings to date to council.
The figures are from actual
castings of cast iron pipe, fit-
tings, valves and hydrants, and
a labor cost figured from prices
paid by WalkertOn for a'similar
installation made last year. To-
tal price for water m a ins

cessary fittings and valves, and
hydrants at not more than 500
feet distance throughout th e
village would be $120,500. This
includes an estimated 06,000

The committee suggested
hiring a private engineer to
draw up plans for the system,
then taking this plan to the
Ontario Water Resources Com-
mission for epproval, and to the
Ontario Municipal Board for
approval of the necessary de..
bentures.'

OPPOSE DUMPING
The committee agreed to send
a protest to council over use of
community park as a dumping
area for snow. A considerable
amount of snow from Main St.
and other locations has been
hauled to the grounds, both in
the centre of the track and to
the southeast of it.
Board members felt that not
only would the snow aggravate
the poor drainage problem in
the park but also increase
spring runoff problems on the
