PERSONALS Mr. & Mrs. Andy Carter were recent visitors with Miss Mar- garet Sinclair and Mrs. Violet Morse of London andlater call- ed at St. Joseph's Hospital to visit sick friends. received for bedside nursing care and these are being handled on a limited basis. "Studies in Canada and the U.S. have established that homemakers' services and bed, side nursing do remedy many of the problems resulting from chronic illness, and do rectify any inequities that may result from imbalances in the availa- bility of beds." (The warden's and personnel committee of county council discussed homemaker service last year, and at the November session recommended that no action be taken at this time.) ''In the meantime,' stated the MOH in his report, "it is suggested that municipalities might make a file of possible recruits for such a service and s tr en g the n co-operation be- tween welfare and health de- partments. Through liaison with the Ontario Community Mental Health services centred atGod- erich and London, the Health Unit has continued to assist in securing early treatment for these patients, and to assist the families in their rehabilitation. Boyle objeetedstroegly, stet-. ing the board snail-11d not send a Collection agency after the amount, As it had been rumored it would do, Farrow indicated a decision, of that kind would be up to council. The secretary explained the hall club originally had request- ed Money for uniforms but the hoard refused When it realized it would set a precedent for ether adult teams. The loan had been made in good faith to help the club, he said, but now the board realized it should not have done so. Wooden outlined what had happened, "It was really a mat- ter beyond our control because the league collapsed around us," which eliminated the gate receipts expected. He pointed out that club had been warned by the OBA at the start of the season that it could not enter league play last year unless it secured new uniforms. The problem extended to the current Mohawk hockey club, whose gate receipts have pro- vided little revenue for the arena so far, although Boyle pointed out that playoffs may bring more returns. Farrow felt such gr oups should operate through the re- creation committee, rather than independently. "That's what we're there for, to help them", he said, SHOW BALANCES As reported last week, RAP committee shows surpluses in both its recreation and com- munity centres board accounts. A balance of $1,500 is in the recreation books, following a total expenditure of $18,732. The community centre board (arena and ball park) balance is $1,400 after total expenses of $12,525. "We have a very comprehen- sive recreation program for a town of 3,200 people. It's gen- erally held up as an example throughout Western Ontario as to how recreation programs should operate," he said. Both Wooden and Boyle com- mended the work of the board and its director, Don Gravett. POOL STUDY Some discussion took place on the swimming pool project, but Mayor Simmons said it was premature because a RAP com- mittee still has to meet with the pool people. Farrow reported that at RAP's last meeting, the pool committee reported that it had about $11,000 in cash and pledges, which is about $9,000 short of the estimated cost of the pool, not considering the changing facilities which would require another $10,000. Farrow recalled that council had agreed to consider the pro- ject when the committee raised $20,000. "This puts us in a position were we can't recom- mend anything to council", he said, ...u:c.4w„Mtign PHONE 235-2322 EXETER patitaaalaMaZitataittiaaMayfaain".Mal etataa-apaa-ftekaagiaaatawata MESSENGERS The January meeting of the Messengers was held during church service Sunday morning with 31 members present. The theme of the meeting was "God Is Our Heavenly Father Who Cares For Us As A Shepherd Cares For His Sheep". The study book was taken by Mrs. Ellis Strahan after which a hymn was sung. The Bible study was taken by Mrs. Ted Insley. A poem was given by Cathy Thacker "Where Is God?" The offering was taken by Julie Webb and Debra Ja- ques. Jeannette Hooper gave a piano solo. Prayer was given by Gor- don Robinson. John Gartenburg read the 23rd Psalm. The pre- sident Joy Thacker was in charge of the business. The roll call was answered by paying fees. The meeting closed with a hymn. Major increases of 20 to 30% across the board were revealed in annual reports presented at Cavell Presbyterian Church's congregational meeting last week. Largest financial gains were shown in the outreach and social service programs of the church which have been stressed by the minister, Rev, John Boyne. This work includes overseas relief and inter-church aid through the world council. Two new members were elec- ted to the board of management for three-year terms. They are George Shaw and vim Glasgow, who succeed Hilton Laing and John Girot. Clifford Ersman was re-elected to another three-year term. The congregation's 1964 bud- get was established in Novem- ber following an every-member visitation program. Mrs. Cliff Ersman acted as secretary for the meeting, which followed a pot luck sup- per. COUNCIL Radar here, 'tickets' not Beet growers given increase Sugar beet growers have won an increase in their pay sche- dule per ton from Canada and Dominion Sugar Co., marketing board director Lloyd Lovell of Kippen announced this week. Under the new contract, the company also will absorb 50 cents per ton more of freight costs. The area director revealed the contract was completed af- ter two days of negotiations with the company. Euchre proceeds assist UN project Members of the local TOON' lodge together with the Re- bekahs held a euchre party in, the lodge rooms Wednesday evening, January 15, It was the first in a series to raise money to sponsor a youth to go to the United Nations. There were 20 tables in play. Harold Rowe, noble grand, was master of ceremonies. Gents' high prize was won by Harold Bell; ladies' high by Mrs. Ger- ald Skinner; lone hands by Mrs. W, Etherington; booby prize by Clark Fisher. A dutch auction for aham was conducted by Garnet Hicks and the winner was Roy Hunter. Proceeds for the evening were $43, Town police's new radar unit is sitting in the de- partment's office in the town ball, waiting for "acces- sories" before it can be put into use. Council must decide on the form of the "ticket" which will be issued to motorists found offending speed limits by the machine. It also wants to erect warning signs for motorists at the outskirts of the town, although this is not required by statute. Council has beenconcern- ed that the town derives little revenue from the fines which would be assessed as a result of radar. On enquiry from solicitor Peter Raymond, however, it learned Monday night that fines can be col- lected only by the county ma- gistrate, who retains a major portion for expenses of the judicial system in the county. Time is that expanse of space between pay days. Councillors clash over bell ringing Two town councillors differ completely on the merits of ringing the town hall clock each and every hour, as well as the additional ringing which is done by Emerson Cornish at 8 am, 12 noon, 1 pm and 6 pm. "I think it should be con- tinued," said Wooden. "It's a lovely anachronism". "I think it should be dis- continued. It's ridiculous," re- torted Boyle. Their comments followed the offer of a watchmaker to install an automatic device which would provide for additional ringing at the strategic hours. Council filed the offer for the time being. DISLIKES JFK The two Councillors clashed also over John F. Kennedy, late U.S. president. Wooden asked if council would be interested in making a donation to the John P. Kennedy Retarded Children's Vend, which has been launched in Canada. "Not if it's J$'10, opposed Boyle, No action was taken.

GODERICH Animal rabies increased markedly last year to a total of 68 cases, compared with 33 in 1962, Dr. R. M. Aldis, MOH, stated in his report to the January session of county coun- cil. Seventy-four exposed humans required the 14-day vaccine treatment (27 in 1962) and one patient developed paralysis on completion of his series. Concerned for the safety of school children exposed to ra- bies that occurred in unvac- cinated dogs, the board of health inaugurated vaccination clinics here last summer. In the last five months of the year, 11 clinics were held and 971 dogs and cats immunized. This pro- gram is expected to cover the entire county by the middle of 1964. A slight increase was ob- served in venereal disease, which is occurring more fre- quently in the 15-20 years age group. Infectious hepetitis has de- clined in incidence, but one death from this cause was noted last year. Live births in Huron num- bered 1,130 last year, still- births seven and 23 neonatal and infant deaths. There were no maternal deaths. - Attendance at chest clinics rose to 771, and three new cases of tuberculosis were re- ported. This year the county is scheduled to have a mass survey for tuberculosis. At the last survey, in 1960, among 24,148 persons tested pulmon- ary tuberculosis was found In '17. Persons discovered with diseases other than TB num- bered 515. "In the fight against tuber- culosis," Dr, Aldis Said, "the greatest obstacle is the apathy of the people. It must be re- emphasized that this disease has no symptoms in its early stages." One death from tetanus oc- curred. The case was that of a man whose only history of injury was that a plank had fallen on his foot about two weeks pre- viously. Evidently there had been a minor break in the skin of the toe, but the patient had not sought medical attention until the symptoms of lockjaw had set in. The medical officer shared in a project of research into deaths from cancer in the county. This study will continue for a three-year period and is intended to analyze differences in the histories and incidence of cancer (certain forms) occur- ring here as against character- istics in other areas of the province, "We are pleased," he said, "to note an increase in the number of nursing visits, up 1,113 over 1962, at 9,801, and that the age groups served are more comprehensive. Through co-operation with the regional welfare officer, a program has been developed to offer the as- sistance of the public health nurses to the elderly and dis- abled, More requests are being Open branch at St. Marys MILL FIRE --Continued from front page firemen arrived, devouring the metal walls like tissue paper.

Council also: Learned from solicitor Peter Raymond that ithas no authority to remove or deface the "Town and Country Restaurant" sign which still stands near the in- tersection of Nos. 4 and 83 although the building was razed by fire several years ago; how- ever, the solicitor indicated the problem will likely be solved before the coming tourist sea- son; Authorized, with Councillor Ted Wright dissenting, Sim- mons and Fisher to attend the Sudbury convention of the May- ors' and Reeves' Association (although neither delegate in- dicated he wished to attend); Gave its tree trimming con- tract to Paul Wilcox, RR 3 Exeter, following a recommen- dation from Councillor Boyle and his committee that such work should be given to local people if they are competitive; previously, the job has been done by the Davey Tree Co., London; Learned from C ou nc i 11 o r Ferguson that one toilet leaks, the bowl of another is broken, a door panel has been smashed and the stove casing cracked in the public washrooms at the town hall; Heard Councillor Taylor re- port that the police dep't is making an all-out drive against stray dogs this week.
