This would mean tenders conld be called in January and then government anprevai would have to be given on the award- ing of a contract.

He is now living in Exeter with his wife and two children. His hobbies include coin and stamp collecting. He is teaching Grade 11 and 12 English. However, outside of school hours he is teaching German to any student who is of the building program and the purchasing of equipment wopld need a geod. deal of time in the first eight months of the year. After presenting all these points, the board offered the ap, pointment of a full-time busi- ness administrator to E, D. Hovey, present board secre- tary-treasurer, who now teach- es only half days at the school. He was offered a salarY of $6,000 per year to handle the full,time post, He pointed out to the board he would have to be replaced by another bookkeeping teacher if he were to accept the po- sition at the first of the new year. The board instructed him to discuss with Principal H. L. Sturgis the advertising for a teacher of bookkeeping whose time outside of commercial might be used in guidance and junior English. It was suggested they adver- tise in the near future, and Howey indicated his decision would be made if a teacher can be hired to replace him, If one can not be secured, it is probable he will continue on in his present dual roll. Top lodge official One of features at Kin car show Area residents certainly received full value for their money when they attended last week's Kins- men car show.

Visitors were present from Ailsa Craig, Parkhill, Hensall, C 1 int on, Goderich, Granton, Wingham, Embro, Lobo, Car- low and Kintore. Music during the banquet was supplied by Bro. William Fos- ter. Lebanon Forest Lodge AF AM had one of their red letter nights Monday on the occasion of the official visit of D.D.G.M. Rt. Wor. Bro. Gordon Short- reed, Clinton.

Past DDGM William Cann proposed a toast to Grand Lodge, responded to by Rt. Wor. Bro.

"It's the job of this board to present ideas and it's up to the manager to carry them out," MacMillan replied. Baynham then backed up his argument by citing examples of arenas where the manager is expected to promote ven- tures in an effort to make the facility pay. MacMillan pointed out Bayn- ham appeared to be "talking against" himself in that as president of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association he had talk- ed Willert into running the houseleague hockey this winter. Baynham replied hp had not talked Willert into this at all. He said the EMHA had decided they did not have enough sup- port to run the program and Willert realized he had to be- cause the arena could not af- ford to lose the $800 in fees the houseleague players paid each year. plans for the vocational ad, Onion at SHDHS continue to take shape and at a special meeting, Wednesday, action was taken in rcgard to securing administra- tive personnel for next year. Area inspector D. W. Soft met with the board to.discuss plans for next year and the new school program and advised them to advertise early in the new year for a qualified prin- cipal and to make his appoint- ment effective July 1, He explained that the prin., oiPal of the new school must hold both a high school Prin- cipal's pertificate and a vo, cational principal's certificate. However, he added that a young- er man who has taken the prin- cipal's course in recent years would be more likely to hold what is termed a secondary school principal's certificate. Scott told the board a vice- principal would also need to be appointed, and said Joe Wooden, a present member of the staff, might be granted a letter of permission as vice-principal if he attended next summer's course, which would be the first of a two-year course for him. The board has already told Wooden they want him to take the course and by a motion pass- ed at the special meeting, de- cided to hire him as vice-prin- cipal as of September 1, 1965, if he is accepted in the first year of the secondary school principal's course. Some board members felt that further means were necessary to bridge the gap between the old and new programs. The new principal would do the time- tabling but he would need to be provided with estimates of class 'numbers for some student s would no longer need to go to Clinton, while others would not find their courses here. It was also noted the business the meeting. In his monthly report, Willert said ice time for the coming season was "fairly well book- ed" and asked permission to advertise in London for users of some available time, particu- larly on Sunday. A motion was approved grant- ing him this request. He also reported the roof repair was not completed and there were leaks in some of the areas where repair work had been carried out. He was given permission to hire Ab Bowen to do some re- pair work on the boards and seats at the arena. Teens want arena fixed NAMED HEAD Under the new vocational or- ganization, a shop director and commercial director will be needed. Scott explained neither is very easy to get. He said the shop director should be sought early in the new year. The commercial department already has a qualified special- ist in the person of Mrs. An- drew Dixon, who might be in- terested in becoming director. The board then passed a mo- tion naming Mrs. Dixon head of the department as of January 1, at an increase of $40 per month. This is the extra salary that is paid to the other four de- partment heads presently at the school. The board has also been able to secure the part-time ser- vices of Richard Harland to assist in the organization of the new shops at the school. Harland is technical director of the Clinton school, and his services were recommended by the two area inspectors. OPP Constable Peter Dineen, Woodstock, was awarded $29,- 928 Tuesday in aSupreme Court civil action brought against a driver who struck him while he was investigating an accident. Dineen served on the sum- mer force at Grand Bend in 1962 and he suffered perman- ent disability due to the injuries in the mishap in 1963. He had both legs broken. The court ruled that the driv- er of the car, a Woodstock man, was negligent in operating his car faster than was safe in the circumstances and was not keeping a proper lookout. EVERY CONFIDENCE "I have every confidence he can do the recreation job," Farrow suggested of Willert. He said there had to be some- one to act as liaison between the various recreation groups and it was only natural that Willert should do it from the arena. He noted it was not a per- manent appointment, but said he hoped it would be in a year. "Give him the opportunity to try," he urged. MacMillan then c all e d on Frayne and Fisher for their opinions, as both had remained silent during the debate. "Taking the situation as it is," Frayne stated, "there's no one else available and we should give Alvin a try." Fisher stated he was in agreement and the motion was approved. Baynham then asked Farrow to record the fact that he op- posed the appointment. Yacht group supported In other business, the com- mittee: Wrote off accounts receiv- able In the amount of $425. The bills were for rental on the signs hung around the ice sur- face at the arena. Appointed Farrow and Sim- mons to represent them at the Lake Huron Zonerecreation conference in Listowel on No- vember 7. Learned that arena manager Alvin Willert would be attend- ing the Ontario Arenas As-, sociation annual meeting in In- gersoll on October 18. Gave approval to the EMHA to enter a team in the Shamrock Junior "D" grouping. The team will pay a $25 minimum for ice time at the arena or on a 60%-40% split, whichever is more. They will be given free practice time. • Learned the Oddfellows would rent their hall to the art club for $5 per night on a trial basis until Christmas. Decided to ask the high school board for the use of the gym- nasium for the badminton club. They will also ask the public school board for their audi- torium for the junior square dance group. Charles Prout passes at work Charles Alvin Prout, 63, Con. 1, Usborne Township, died sud- denly at the home of his son, Gerald, Con. 5 Usborne, Tues- day, October 20. He had just been plowing and had stepped off the tractor when he sudden- ly collapsed. Mr. Prout had lived most of his years in the community except for a few years in De- troit. Surviving are his wife, the former Gretta Case, seven sons, Charles, Detroit; Robert, London; Glenn and Gerald, Us- borne; Ted, Sarnia; James, Ex- eter; Jack, Stephen Township; and one daughter, Mrs. William (Geraldine) Smith, Exeter.

It is looked upon as a natural for development as a marina. HIKE FEE Farrow also presented a mo- tion calling for an additional $200 car allowance for Willert until the end of the year. He said it would be best to handle a pay increase in this manner as it would not necessitate any work on his part in changing the present payroll structure. "It's little enough," he said in regard to the added bonus. The motion was approved with , no opposition. Mayor Simmons and Lloyd Cushman were not present at —Continued from front page name is Mr. Federal." The plan would call for a stopping up of River Road, and the re-routing of traffic south to Lake Road, across the old river bed, and back north to River Road. Within the curve thus left, would be room for 100 pleasure craft, parking space, ramps, washrooms, etc., and even some thought to using a "bubble system" to keep the water from freezing over. With this m etho d, plastic pipes below the surface carry air which is released under water, thus preventing freez- ing. Then it is not necessary to remove boats from the wa- ter. Specifically the club asked for permission to continue develop- ment of the 300 feet of river- bank now being leased by them; for an extension of lease for 25 years; for approval in principle of the marina development. The village reduced the length of lease to six years, with a renewing clause, and granted the other two requests. With governmental interest in the offing, the club will pro- ceed to plan for a meeting with municipal, provincial and other officials to discover, just what After a lengthy debate, RAP decided at their Wednesday meeting to let their building committee meet with the execu- tive of the Exeter Teen Town in regard to suggested improve- ments for the arena auditorium. Chairman Tom MacMillan said he had been approached by members of the teen group about improving some of the "pretty grim" surroundings. He noted the painting in the hall was dull and the lighting was far from modern. MacMillan said the Teen Town group would be willing to share in the cost of im- provements and suggested RAP co-operate as much as pos- sible. He noted the teenagers were off to a most successful year with attendance at one dance being over 300. They have their activities planned right through to the new year. The RAP chairman said the youths were organized on a "terrific basis". Alvin Willert predicted it would cost $400 to paint the gymnasium and Gord Baynham said he would hate to see any large sums spent without re- modelling the whole place. However, MacMillan sug- gested it would be two years before the committee could con- sider a complete remodelling job. All members of RAP agreed the young people should be en- couraged and left it to the build- ing committee to see what action could be taken. Mrs. Wes Cole dies in hospital Mrs. W. S. Cole, 82, Exeter, died in Victoria Hospital, Lon- don, Friday, October 16, fol- lowing a lengthy illness. She was the former Ida Flor- ence Blatchford, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. F r anc i s Blatchford, Exeter. She trained in Grace Hospital, Detroit, and nursed in the same hospital for about 25 years. In 1942 she was married to Wesley S. Cole who survives, also one brother, Dr. Frank Blatchford, Fort William, and three nieces, Miss Olive Wood, Toronto, Mrs. Pearl Murdock, Dundas, Mrs. Dorothy Wallace, Goderich and one nephew, Har- old Wood, Lambeth. Funeral services were con- ducted by Rev. S. E. Lewis at the R. C. Dinney funeral home, Exeter, Monday, October 19 with interment in Exeter ceme- tery. Pallbearers were Messrs Alex Cann, Luther Penh ale, William Desjardine, Maurice Quance, Wellington Hern and Clarence Smilie. EMO still seeks action --sewer job gets okay and other spectacles entered in the opening parade. C ouncil gave support to the Club on this program, and also on their wint- er-long program. • A request from five residents of the former Highway 81 past the new post office, was read by council, suggesting the name "Hidden Lane", as the official name for this section, soon to be a village street. Making the reque s t were Mrs. William Sharrow, Mrs. Virginia Vos- sler, Mrs. Matilda Wanner and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Thompson. There was only one supporter of this on council: 0. wass- mann. Councillor Emerson Desjar- dine suggested "81 Crescent", and had support on this from Councillor Ian Coles. This pro- posal did not carry either. Planning to attend a meeting in Parkhill on Friday morning, October 23 when plans for the new Ontario water pipeline will be made public, Councillor Ian Coles suggested hiring John Gillies as the village lawyer in this matter. The village solicitor is El- mer Bell, QC, Exeter, and the other members of council felt they should stay with him. Coles felt that Mr. Bell might be too busy to handle the village work on this. When men speak ill of thee, so live that nobody will believe them,—,Plato NEED EXTRA HOUR Mrs. Henri Menard, of Mon- etta Menard's restaurant and tavern, appeared to ask council for consideration of remaining on standard time next summer. "With only six weeks to make a living," said Mrs. Menard, "extra hours provided by re- maining on standard time would mean a lot." Advised that standard time had been tried in the village back in 1955, and had caused so much difficulty it remained in for only a couple of weeks, Mrs. Menard suggested a letter from the council to the Liquor Licensing board, supporting the owners of hotels and taverns in a request for permission to remain open until one o'clock, rather than a midnight closing. Before the village will take action, they asked for infor- mation about the stand the Chamber of Commerce took. A meeting of that body is sche- duled for Monday, October 26 —and the s ubject will be brought up again at the next meeting of council, on Novem- ber 2. Dr. Roger Clayton and his wife who live in Green Acres subdivision, requested some action be taken on the problem of noisy peacocks on the Sher- wood property next to theirs. Harry Sherwood, Exeter, purchased an area in a curve of the Ausable River a year ago, and has since created what is more a park than a vacant lot. He plans to build a home there. In the meantim e he has placed two pair of peacocks on the land, and they strut proudly and beau- tifully there. However, in the mornings, peacocks can be noisy — and they wake up early, reported Dr. Clayton. The doctor also gave very realistic examples of the type of noise made by peacocks in the morning. Mr. Sherwood has built a large shed on the property, which is to be for housing tools, lawnmowers, etc. -- but also, according to Dr. Clayton would be used as a "monstrous dirty old birdhouse" for the peacocks and their young. "If we're going to have a zoo in this town," commented the retired doctor, "then let's have a good one hire a keeper." The clerk brought in the by- law, and noted that it excluded all but horses and mules from among household animals that could be raised in the village, Council will write to Mr. Sher- Wood concerning the matter. Steven smith represented the Winter Sports Club in a request for a parade permit, The Club Is staging a Winter Carnival early in Decernber, with floats Library starts junior section The Exeter Library Board is taking its initial step toward expansion and renovation this week as it moves the junior library to the basement, The shelves, junior tables and books are being moved, leaving considerable more space in the main library which will be equipped with more mo- dern shelving and further fa- cilities. The Children's Library in the basement will be reached by the south door for the pre- sent but future plans call for a new Main St. entrance to the building which will include steps either to the main library or to the lower children's library. Tentative plans are for the children's library to be open Monday, Thursday and Friday afternoons from 3:30 to 5:30 pm; Friday evening, 7 to 8 o'- clock and Saturday afternoon 2 to 5 p.m. Mrs. John Schroe- der will perform the librarian's duties with the juniors. For the remainder of this week no books will be loaned from the children's section dur- ing the process of moving al- though books may be returned to the main desk with no fines for overdue books. Mrs. Harold Hinton, Main St., has been named to the Library Board replacing Mr. Ge orge Wright who has moved from town. Dealers return from convention Larry and Ted Snider of Lar- ry Snider Motors Limited have returned from the largest world-wide dealer conference in the history of the farm equip- ment industry, called by Ford Motor Company in New York City.

But Boyle pointed out if there was a crisis, council would have a tremendous responsibility in that they had failed to name a local co-ordinator. "People would certainly want to know what we had been do- ing," he suggested. Taylor then suggested the three-man committee meet with Forbes to discuss the problem to see if he had any suggestions, and Bailey was asked to talk to the co-ordinator during the next county council session. In his letter, Forbes had explained he was presently training auxiliary police and other four county towns had become involved in the move- ment.
