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.

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, where he was involved in afour eueeeee.e.ezere eee-eeeee- New GB water committee finds study 'encouraging' 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 — Please turn to back page Snow sculptors busy A. budding crop of sculptors has been displaying its talents in snow on Victoria St. west.

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 throughout the village; all ne- 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 for miscellaneous, 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.'

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.
