TOO CLOSE Alton .Isaac, .RR 1 Clandeboye was fined $15 and costs after pleading guilty to a charge of following another vehicle too closely on July 6, Evidence revealed Isaac was driving his gasoline truck on Highway 21 and ran into the rear of another car. OPP Cpl. Q, J. Mitchell testified there were skid marks of 68' at the RC, otdent scene. The car ahead of the truck had apparently slowed up to pick up two children who were hitch!. hiking, and as the car drove away, it suddenly slowed again and this was not noticed by the area fuel dealer. Mr. Hays pointed out he was not keeping a proper lookout while driving. The car was damaged in an amount estimated at $600. On the same day as the accident, Isaac's barn was levelled by a fire.

However, their quick ac- tion soon had itunder control and no serious damage was caused, not even to the poles which appear to be completely engulfed in flames. The fire started when a wind blew straw, men were burning in the field, causing it to get out of control.

"This share will be available the length of the river in the village west to Federal wat- ers," Bill Amos, representa- tive of the Ausable River Con- servation Authority told Grand Bend council Monday. Also at the meeting was Craig Leuty, Toronto, program engin- eer with the Conservation Branch, Energy and Resources 1100 Model On Display ruin minor hockey 62 Austin Sedan Management, of the provincial government. Council has been interested in considering some work on the banks of the river. Estimate of a preliminary engineering job has been given as $750. Amos suggested the village, if they wished the work done, should request the engineering proceeded with. Then, if they decide to proceed, they should ask that improving and stabili- zing of the banks be made a scheme of the Authority. Councillor Ian Coles asked if there was any way in which a share of the cost on the river could be gotten from any of the o t h e r municipalities in the Authority. "We're trying to clean up the riverbank and the river, for the general good of visitors to Grand Bend," said Coles. very sharp, radio 60 Austin Sedan blue, like new 58 Ford Fairlane hardtop, radio, automatic New 1/2 Ton Mercury 8' box, deluxe cab, big saving SOUTH END SERVICE Phone 235-2322 Exeter, Farm vehicles and animals continued to plague distriet drivers this week, as two of the accidents investigated by local OPP officers involved far- mers' property. On Wednesday, Cpl. C. J. Mitchell was called to investi- gate an accident between a sow and a car on the ninth con- cession of Hay Township. The sow, which was killed, was own- ed by John Groot, RR 1 Zurich, AnotherRR 1 Zurich resi- dent, Claire B. Deichert, was the driver of the car which hit the sow after it ambled onto the road at the base of a hill. The incident happened at about 9:45 a.m. On Monday, Constable Harry Reid was called to County Road 2 in Hay Township, about one mile north of Highway 83 where a collision resulted in damages estimated at $900. Donald Joseph Regier, RR 3 Zurich, was driving north on the road when he ran into the rear of a forage wagon that was partially parked on the travel- led portion of the road. He met a southbound car at the spot and ran into the rear of the wagon, which was owned by Alvin Rader, RR 3 Zurich. The wagon sustained damages estimated at $100 and Regier's car was damaged to an amount of about $800. The incident happened at 5:00 p.m. BAD SPOT Police also investigated two accidents in the vicinity of Port Blake, at the end of Highway 83, On July 22, Constable George Beams was called to a two-car crash in which $375 damage was involved. Drivers of the two cars were William David Poole, Wood- stock, and T. Samuel H. Gra- ham, London. Graham was coming from the beach and apparently pulled onto the highway into the path of Poole, who was travelling north on Highway 21. On Monday at 7:45p.m., Con- stable Reid investigated a crash in the same area involving cars driven by Paul Charles Deyes, Weston, and Jerry Edward Luk- ash, Toronto. Both were travelling north on Highway 21 and Lukash was reported to have pulled out to pass a line of cars and ran into Denyes, who was in the pro- cess of making a left turn. Dam age was estimated at $1,300. The only other crash was on Wednesday when a Bridgeport It was hot ! —Continued from front page grees, but on July 23 it dipped to 55, Despite the small amount of precipitation, the area has had its share of thunderstorms. There have been 13 recorded in the first 26 days of July. How- ever, rain did not fall during all these storms. For those complaining and suffering through the heat, most may get some satisfaction in knowing they've come through more severe hot spells. Since 1947, the July temper- ature has hit 94 on three occa- sions and back on June 25, 1952, the record high of 98 was spotted at Centralia. Does that help some? LIQUOR CHARGES Illegal possession of liquor resulted In fines for four per- sons in court. Adrien Lansbergen, 18, Zur- ich, pleaded guilty to possession of liquor in Hay Township on June 20. He was found at a farm with a bottle of beer in his hand. In handing down a $20 fine, Magistrate Hays pointed out the youth may be able to do a man's work, but was still a minor in the eyes of the law and it stated a person under 21 could not con- sume beer or alcohol. Robert Watson, 23, William Street, Exeter, was fined $25 and costs after pleading guilty to illegal possession of liquor on July 3. He was charged by OPP Constable George Beams after the officer checked a car in the Centralia school yard. It contained 16 pints of beer. Another person was apparently with Watson at the time, but he ran and was not found. Watson was fined $25 and costs, Thomas Brooks, Innerkip, was fined $20 and costs for il- legal possession after a part bottle of beer was found in his car at Dashwood on July 9. Liberals to hear four candidates The Huron County Liberal Association will hold their an- nual picnic at Jowett's Grove, Hayfield, Wednesday, August 5 at 2:30 p.m. Andrew McLean, Seaforth, reports that four of the five declared candidates for the On- tario Liberal party leadership are expected to attend. He did not disclose which of the four had intimated they would visit the Huron Liberals. The Exeter court docket,, Tuesday, was one of the length- iest on record PS 4 5 perSens had been summoned to appear before Magistrate Glenn Hays, Q.C, However, in view Of the heat, it was perhaps fortunate that only a portion were heard as many cases were laid over to a future date due to witness- es not being present and other reasons. Magistrate Hays, who has given ample warning that he will impose the stiffer penal- ties provided as of July 1 for drivers making unnecessary noise, did hand out some hea- vier ines and warned that sec- ond offences would lead to the maximum $100 penalty and a loss of driving licenses. Donald Scott, 22, Exeter, who recently had his license sus- pended for a driving infraction in Grand Bend, was fined $15 and costs of $1.50 for unneces- sary noise. OPP Constable Harry Reid testified Scott drove up Exeter's Main Street on July 3 and was creating a noise that could be heard for four blocks bypress- ing the accelerator up and down and making the muffler noisy. Scott told the court he was testing a car lie had recently purchased. Magistrate Hays told him he should have tested the car on the car lot and not on the street where he would annoy people. "You know there is a new law where $100 maybe imposed for this charge "Scott was told, Ronald Du), Goderich, was fined $25 after he pleaded guilty to a similar charge laid by Constable Lloyd Hodgins on June 24. The officer said the youth turned off Highway 83 onto 4 at the north end with the tires squealing and his car going at a high rate of speed. Durnin said the car always squealed going around a cor- ner, pointing out the fr ont wheels apparently caused the noise. Magistrate Hays did not ac- cept this excuse, pointing out the front wheels don't make a car go around a corner at a high rate of speed. "I think you were putting on a show," he said, adding that a second conviction would result in a license suspension. The third youth fined was Robert Broderick, Exeter, who was charged by Hodgins on July 4 when he was found proceeding up the Main Street with a noisy muffler. Teachers back from marking HSDHS teachers Lloyd Hen- derson and Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Wilson have returned home from Toronto where they have been marking grade 13 depart- mental examinations for the de- partment of education. It is expected the results for the students will be k no wn sometime around August 10. Two other HSDHS teachers are spending the summer as critic teachers for the summer courses of the Ontario College of Education in London. They are Mrs. Claude Farrow and Joe Wooden. E, D, Howey and Glenn Mickle are instructing at the Ipperwash Cadet Camp. The cadets will be leaving on August 15 and the instructors will be finished about the 18th. "Suite of the Month" —Continued from front page mornings to assist. Simmons stated that the rec director had no business in running the hockey program as this was not his job. Baynham replied that Gra- vett works five days and look- ed after the minor hockey pro- gram on his time off. "He can do what he wants to in his time off', Baynham stated, Loader pointed out that one of the reasons the local program was so good was that the house- league teams were looked after and they always had the incen- tive that if they progressed enough they could make an all- star team. This also provided incentive for the all-stars, as they realiz- ed there were always players ready to take their places if they didn't try hard at all times. "It will hurt the whole sys- tem if no one looks after them," the popular hockey player and coach told RAP. Simmons said he could see that a rec director may be needed for the paper work and to make the phone calls, but pointed out they would need six rec directors to coach the teams. "Boom is the guy who carried the load," Baynham told him, and Loader noted that the volun- teer coaches couldn't do all the work involved. HIRE MAN Simmons then said that this was no great problem. This is the easy part, he told the men, noting RAP could easily hire someone to make the phone calls. He said he felt the real prob. lem was in getting the necessary volunteers to work as coaches. The men then said they could use about 50 men to assist as coaches and managers andSim- mons suggested these could possibly be attained by adver- tising in the paper or by sending letters to the players' fathers. "I don't see the problem," he said. "That's because you've never been Involved," Baynham re- plied, and Loader noted there was definitely a problem, add- ing that he didn't think the RAP not the case as he knew it, point- ing out that of all the kids on the team he had coached for several years, all but one en- tered high school this year and not one had ever failed a grade, despite the fact they played as many as 50 games a winter. He noted that sports trained a mind for quick decisions and the more training along these lines the better it was. Both he and Baynham again noted Exeter had an excep- tional program and the latter predicted the lack of leadership would kill it. He drew a comparison be- tween towns to the north where sports has fallen off to low ebb without rec directors, while all the good teams came from towns in the south where there were rec directors. He said a rec director could coax people into helping with the various programs. committee could come up with 50 interested persons. The former senior puck star also pointed out that even if parents weren't interested in helping, recreation was for the kids and someone had to look after it. MacMillan suggested that perhaps the program was too ambitious. "You can't have a too am- bitious program for kids," Baynham replied. Loader then pointed out the main argument appeared to be over whether a rec director was needed, and he stated that both he and Baynham felt that one was required. "We're arguing only for hockey too," Loader stated, pointing out there were many other persons involved in var- ious other recreation programs in Exeter. He said it was doubtful if there would be enough volun- teers to take active leadership in all the various programs now organized by the rec director. Simmons suggested some of the program should be curtail- ed, stating some parents were concerned there was too much doing and their c h il dr en s' marks at school were low. Loader argued that this was MONEY WORRIES "You're worried about the $1,800," Baynham told Sim- mons, referring to the amount of money paid to the arena by the EMHA for ice time last year. "No, I'm not," Simmons re- plied bruskly. "I'm interested in the program". However, he said that if the parents weren't interested in helping, the whole thing should be scrapped. Loader disagreed strongly, noting he would go out of his way to give a kid direction if a parent was failing to do so. He also noted that "lots of parents" were failing in this regard. The discussion ended at this point, with members of RAP and the EMHA agreeing to Sim- mons' idea to advertise for 50 persons to help in the minor hockey program. It was suggested this be done in September and it was also the intention that instruction would be available to any per- sons interested, but who did not know much about the game of hockey. SPEEDERS Persons who failed to abide by the speed laws also paid fines in court, although several cases were set over until a later date. Ernest Manchester, London, was fined $15 and costs for speeding on Exeter's Main St. Constable Lloyd Hodgins stated he clocked the driver doing 72 MPH in a 30 zone. Manchester argued there were no signs at the south en- trance due to the construction work and that he was not going over 40. When asked why he had gone over 30, he replied he "was in a hurry I guess". John C. Goddard, 1'7, London, was fined $20 and costs for hitting a speed of '72 within the Town limits on Highway 83. He was clocked by Constable Hod- gins with the radar and the of- Family reunions Convenors for the 1965 re- union are Mr. and Mrs. Lee Webber and Mr. and Mrs. Gor- don McCarter. Accident victim HS addition —Continued from front page A room near the cafeteria will be the secretary's office and another will be for the staff lounge. The board will pre- sumably use either the staff lounge or the library for their meetings, The move to bring the II-. brary downstairs was recom- mended by Inspector Scott, who suggested it should have an ac- cess of its own so it could be used by the students and other members of the community at night for study and research purposes. He said it should also be en- larged to handle 10,000 books. The present library is ortlYable to accommodate about 6,500 books. Also by moving it downstairs, it will be more accessible for the students on their lunch hours as it will be close to the cafe- teria. Witnesses meet in Chatham area A District Assembly of Jeho- vah's Witnesses will be held in Chatham from August 6 to 9 and at least 33 delegates from Exeter and area will attend the four-day event when it convenes in the Memorial Arena. Lloyd Hoffman, presiding minister of the congregation in Exeter said an estimated 2,000 delegates will attend. The assembly, one of 28 throughout Canada this summer, services an area roughly extending from Woodstock to Windsor, and Exe- ter to St. Thomas. Mr. Hoffman said the assem- bly theme is "Fruitage of the Spirit". Delegates will be en- couraged to display evidence of God's spirit in their lives and Christian ministry. One 88-year-old Exeter resi- dent, Leslie Lovell, will attend the Chatham assembly. Others include Mr. and Mrs. Ma.rwood Prest and sons Wayne, James, Beverly and Brian; Mr. and Mrs. Keith Wonnacott; Mr. and Mrs. Rene Laporte and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Rawlings and family. Many delegates will be billet- ed in private homes. Chatham residents will receive personal visits by members of the city's congregation in a search for possible accommodations. Newly inducted ministers will publicly indicate their dedica- tion during a baptism service. Total water immersion, similar to Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River nineteen centuries ago, will be used. The key public discourse will be given Sunday, August 9 by Mr. Kenneth Little of Toronto. PUC rates —Continued from front page heating rates were reduced Pooley pointed out. For water- heaters a block of kilowatt hours at 0.8e is now available to larger capacity heaters. More details of this rate may be obtained at the Commissions' office. For electric heating custom- ers the new rate will be 1.1e, a saving of 15.4% for the average customer. Customers will in future re- ceive a bill that will include hydro, water and sewage sur- charge if applicable. This will mean that rather than a water bill every four months, the amount will be reduced 50% and billed every two months. Commercial customers hay- ing a demand meter will receive a bill every month that will include a water bill and sewage if applicable. All power custo- mers will be billed in a similar manner, Commercial customers hav- ing a connected load of less than 5000 watts will be billed bi-monthly at domestic rates. Pooley pointed out that this IS the first rate revision in Exeter for the last 12 years and that the new rate structure was arrived at after a detailed study of the cost of serving customers in Exeter was taken. is eating grass One of the reported "fatali- ties" in last week's edition was apparently not correct.
