Lively se debates ,At a Special meeting Thurs- day night, HSDHS board author- ized architects to prepare working drawings for a modi- fied addition POIro?tect. at $231,000. The boerd chopped storage space and furnishing costs froin the original proposal to reduce estimates from $270,000, which was ,well above the $225,060 figure approved by municipali- ties for the debenture. Also cut were plans for pur- chasing new kitchen equipment fer the cafeteria. Marvin Boyce, represeated arch! t'e c t s page and Steele, tabled sketch plans for an a.d. ditto:mai three classrooms. The plans call for four class- rooms, a second shop and a cafeteria addition. Sketches presented to the board showed how future shops, could be add- ed to provide for a limited "VQ- oati.onal school. Three clasprooms and a science room will be erected on the second floor at the east end, requiring a new stairwell. Position of the shop on the north side was changed from an earlier plan to permit enlarge- ment of the existing manual training room. Cafeteria will be extended on the north side so that it can serve also as a team teaching room. Additions will be made to the boiler house and the kitchen. The plans presented to the board by Page and Steele pro- vided for more storage space at the east end but this was de- leted because of cost. Revised estimates were: "Building, $200,000; archi- tects' fees, $12,500; furnish- ings (cut in half), $13,000; ca- feteria kitchen area, $5,500, for a total of $231,000.

PHONE 235-2322 EXETER Town council considers its local street cleaner, Edgar Mawhinney, "self - employed". Officials learned no one has given his permission to start sweeping the streets, nor does he operate under the super- vision of either council or works dept, Council nevertheless paid his $130 time sheet for wages, not without complaints, but insisted he'd "have to be put straight". Wooden objected to the con- dition of main street, suggest- ing it should be given a thorough cleaning several times a year. "It's a filthy, filthy street". In other business: Discussed with E. D.

Both Reeve Webb, and Coun- cillors Wassmann and Coles commented favorably upon the sports awards night banquet which the committee held re- cently. The committee had come under some criticism from the council at a previous meeting. In explanation, C ouncillo r Wassmann pointed out that after Mr. Mathers presented a pro- posed budget to council inJanu- ary asking for more money, they expected the group to come back again at a later meeting, and were surprised when they had not come. Wassmann noted that he would like the committee to carry on with the lifeguard work, since he had no complaint with how this job was done. Councillor Coles stated that the work of the committee is needed in the village. He felt that the type of personnel was important and that they had to be prepared to act as both po- By MRS. I.. PRESZCATOR FINISHING BLOUSES Thursday afternoon April 2, the Crediton Fashionettes held their sixth meeting with an at- tendance of six. Miss Damude, Huron home economist, attended. Notes were taken on finishing the blouse and setting in the sleeves. The next meeting will be held Saturday, April 18, at 1:15 pm. Council meetings usually end with accounts. Monday night's opened with one, and it shook the town fathers, Robert Luxton, William St., submitted bills for drain and furnace repairs totalling $140.50. He claimed his outlet had been severed during sewer in- stallations, Council referred it to works sup't for study. Council accepted another bill, resulting from sewer work, for car towing. One vehicle was stranded in a sunken section and had to be towed out. The charge will be relayed to Gaff- ney Construction Co., the con- tractors. Another complaint about damage was more quickly dis- posed of. It came from George Rether Jr., Pryde Boulevard, who insisted his basement was deluged by water from the snow- pile at community park. Council insists the r u no f f went to the river at the north. A varied program f e atur e d the meeting of Senior Citizens Club Tuesday evening in the Le- gion Hall.

GB WATER PROBLEM licemen and diplomats. He said he did not think the council had given the committee e nough support, and was remiss in not giving the committee the bud- get asked for. Mathers had presented a bud- get asking for $3,500 to operate the beach program. Though no refusal as such was given, a proposed budget for the village now under consideration, at present only allows $2,000 for the beach program. Councillor Webb pointed out that in 1962 the beach program had been operated at a cost of $1,500, They had increased this to $2,000 for the committee in 1963, and he recalled that Mr. Coles had promised to get more money to help. Coles stated he had put in$25 of his own money, "We could have gotten more for this pro- gram if we'd had the support of council." An amicable discussion be- tween the recreation committee and council failed to persuade the committee to continue with the life guard supervision and beach program. The committee reported that there had been complaints and requests for another lifeguard stand at the north end of the beach area. Councillor E. Des- jardine asked if they could not reduce the area which was pa- trolled, and thus do the job adequately with the same size of lifeguard force as before. Clayt Mathers suggested the need for one man, a recreation director of some sort, who was mature, and able to supervise the work on a full time basis. He said, "Let's make recrea- tion another attraction at Grand Bend." PERSONALS Mr. & Mrs. Howard Short of Collingwood visited on the weekend with Mrs. M. Havi- land.

In this case the village would be saved the installation of the $200,000 lake intake pipe, and the capital cost of the work would be re- duced considerably. A reply from Mr. Baldwin for Stirrat and Associates was read to council Monday night. The offer is for up to 750,000 gallons a day at 30 cents per thousand gallons, with the vil- lage offered ownership of the supply system at any time they wished for $40,000 less three cents per thousand gallons used up at the time of purchase. To get complete details of the system in a form to sub- mit to the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission, would, said Baldwin's letter, cost in the neighbourhood of $1,500, which they would expect the village to pay if it did not sign a contract for this system.

Hensall April 27 GRAND BEND It was a free-wheeling ses- sion of Grand Bend village coun- cil Monday night which lasted four and one-half hours, and dealt with recreation, health, police, a centennial project, water, daylight saving time, another rest room on the beach and some other problems as well. A letter from the senior room of the Grand BendPublic School was the only one received in answer to requests for sug- gestions for a centennial pro- ject. Principal W. McNaughton suggested, on behalf of his class, some kind of recreation area with picnic tables avail- able to the public. Daylight saving time will ex- tend from April 26 to October 25. These times coincide with Exeter and Forest, where Grand Bend students attend high schools. In favor of remaining on stan- dard time,Councillor Ian Coles said a goo many people coming to the village for the weekend from London would have time for the evening meal and shop- ping. He estimated the extra hour over nine weeks could mean about 63 hours more revenue to business men in the village. At an estimated revenue of $25 an hour, this would mean $1,500. "Of course" said Mr. Coles "these are just figures based on a guess, and maybe $25 an hour is not anywhere close to the right figure. But in any case the result is impres- sive." He also noted the convenience to American tourists, who now leave Michigan on standard time to arrive on DST and thus lose an hour. Reeve Stewart Webb said the village tried this idea for about ten days seven years ago. The confusion persuaded the village to return to DST almost im- mediately. Councillor 0. Wassmann felt he would like to see standard time tried again. Both Coun- cillors Howard Green and E. Desjardine voted in favour of going to DST and Reeve Webb declared the motion passed. At this point an exchange broke out between Coles and the reeve. When Coles tried to say something more on the subject, Reeve Webb told him he blabbed all the time !Or nothing. Coles said that he didn't blab for nothing. Webb said, "You do blab for nothing. And when it's all over there's nothing to it." Coles said, "That's because we talk to deal ears. You won't listen. And you, Mr. Reeve, have a lot to learn," SAME OPP COST Arrangements were complet- ed for the contract with the On- tario Provincial Police for the policing of the village during the summer, at the same cost as last year. A comparison of costs pre- sented by Clerk DesJardins on the cost of propane, compared with coal and wood used inpre- vious years to heat the village hall, showed a saving of about $,40 this year.

He said, "Last fall the Bet Con- struction Ltd. had a trench dug the length of the village. It would not have been expensive to lay the water mains at that time." Delays in planning for the water system have been notice- able in many ways. To date 'three engineering firms have been employed (one of them on two different occasions) to draw up plans for the system. Graham Reid and Associates, Toronto, prepared the first plan about six years ago. They ad- vocated a water supply from the lake by a system of wells lo- cated on the beach about 2 miles south of the river mouth. Cost was about $300,000. Last year, prices presented by the second engineer, M. M. Dillon and Company Ltd. Lon- don, were increased to $600,000 and included a lake intake supply system. Feeling these prices were too high, and at the advice of the citizens' water committee, council thcn dismissed Dillon and re-hired the Graham Reid firm at the cost of $500 to do a preliminary survey in order to get the work done under Highways 81 and 21 before the paving was done this spring. Agair. Reid suggested a sup- ply system from two miles south along the lakeshore, and pre- sented four typed sheets of sug- gestions, which more or leas paralleled his earlier propo- sals. Early in March no repre- sentative of Reid had been in the Village, so the council advised him that he was no longer re- quired, and proceeded to hire engineering firm number three; William Ayearst, London. On receipt of this advice, Reid wrote to Council advising that he had taken senior men off other work to do the village sur-, vey, and that his requirement of pay would be on the approved scale for engineers. In other words 70% of '7,5% of $40,060, or $2,100, plus the $500 the council felt they had arranged to pay. (The $40,000 figure is the estimated cost of laying mains and laterals.) There haS been some cenfus- ion at offices of the department of highways over which engineer actually had the authority to speak for the village. At the same time council had I nqUired of Grant Stirrat, see page 9) By MRS. ARCHIE DEWAR Mr. & Mrs. Fred Parkinson and family were Monday guests of Mr. & Mrs. Gerald Hero of West Zion.

FOOD INSPECTION Coles reported on a "health" meeting he had held in the vil- lage hall Sunday night, with nine people attending who were in- volved in food preparation and sale in the village. Dr. Fred Boyes, Parkhill, the medical health officer of Grand Bend, read the public health act to those assembled. "perhaps the most we ac- complished," said Mr. Coles, "was to get across the fact that we were not responsible for the terms of the Public Health Act, but that we had the re- sponsibility to enforce it." He said he expected full co- operation by all food outlets. He noted that some investiga- tion of an electrical device to control flies Was to be made, and that dishwashing inspection would be stricter. He noted that any establishment with 15 seats or more must have toilet fa- cilities and this would be en- forded in 1964. William Rendle, the building and health inSpector, had asked to be furnished with a letter giving his authoritY in asking for changes to be made. Councillor E.
