Local student to Manitoba Malcolm Hiltz Malcolm Hilts, a grade 12 stu- dent representing South Huron District High School left Tuesday evening for Dauphin, Manitoba. Malcolm was chosen as a "cen- tennial traveller" taking part in the program of adventure in learning. He will be acting as a goodwill ambassador to Manitoba as part of an inter-provincial exchange of students arranged by the Centennial commission. The program is being carried out in co-operation with the fed- eral government and the Ontario Department of Education to give greater understanding of the diversity and meaning of Canada. It will also help foster national unity. Twenty-four Students from the London area haVe been Chosen to go on this trip which will last from August 17-28. MrS. R. A. Hill of Oakriclge Acres is the es- cort for the trip. that he wrote. Judith Finkbeiner of Crediton had 80.8% on eight papers. In addition she has stand- ing in music. Judy plans to attend London Teachers' College in Sep- tember. Ella Mae Schlenker, also of Crediton, had an average of 79.9%. Based on the eight best Works superintendent James Paisley informed council Mon- day evening he had been forced to keep the motor of the pump running wide open at times to prevent the tank overflowing into the lagoon. He said he has pres- sure of 80 pounds on the pump at times in order to keep up with the flow of water. Mr. Paisley pointed out that the water has been coming from the factory on a 24 hour basis recently and although a little goes in the river and lagoon, the most of it has been pumped through the irriga- tion pipes. Mayor Delbridge e xp ressed concern over the motor of the pump and expressed his view that the motor would not stand this type of use. Mr. Paisley indicated he felt it was essential to keep the water pumped away otherwise it would go into the lagoon and then this would have to be emptied on the ground. Mr. Paisley pointed out that it is necessary to keep the water under pressure going through the lines so it breaks into a spray. He said if this is not done so the water will simply lay on the ground in the immediate area. - Following further questioning about the condition of the motor Mr. Paisley stated the motor had a bad blow-back and it was neces- sary to change the oil every day. The only time the motor is shut off is to change the oil. He added that if this was the motor in his car he would be afraid to drive to Toronto with it. Members discussed the pos- sibility of renting a stand-by motor or a motor to use while the regular motor is being re- paired. Mr. Paisley was instruct- ed to investigate the possibility of renting a motor believed to be owned by an area farmer. Fail- ing this to investigate renting a motor from the company through which the town has been dealing in regards to this equipment. Mr. Paisley indicated he had been talking to a firm in Delhi and had obtained a price of $30 per day as rental for a unit. He could not say whether this was the stand-by price or the Alice if the unit was put into use. A motor will be needed to handle this water* although in not as great quantities for the next two Months. Reeve Derry Boyle was thwart- ed in efforts to have a building permit for the South Huron Dis- trict Secondary school delayed at the regular meeting of council Monday evening. Reeve Boyle in a fiery exchange with the mayor termed the proposed portable classrooms as disgraceful and questioned the need of these. He suggested the school board should appear before council and prove papers, Ella Mae's average was 83.5%. On eight papers Robert Ben- nett had the highest percentage with 84.4%. Thirty-four area students will be receiving Secondary School Honour uraduation Diplomas at the school's commencement that is planned for Friday, November 19th.

Two buildings burn Saturday A vacant house and garage were burned to the ground early Satur- day, five miles from Grand Bend on Highway 8i. The two-storey frame house and garage were owned by James Love, who lives about 1 1/4 miles from the fire scene. The blaze is believed to have started in the upper storey of the house, Grand Bend Fire Chief Lawrence Mason said. Grand Bend firemen were called at 1:05 am by Mrs. Maurice Murray, a neighbor. Firemen turned their efforts to soaking a small house just across a gravel road from the Love buildings. The houses are at the corner of Highway 81 and the gravel road. Wind was threat- ening to carry the flames across the road to the second home, but firemen prevented their spread- ing. The cause of the fire is un- known. Four leave Centralia On Friday evening, August 13, a farewell was said to 4 officers from the RCAF Station Centralia. Leaving are W/C JA Rassell, F/L C Langlais, F/L J Saunders and F/L D Wilson. W/C J. Rassell W/C John Hassell* for the past two years, has been the Officer Commanding the Medical Selec- tion Unit, where the aspiring young Air Force Officers are given comprehensive medical ex- aminations. The Wing Command- er is a graduate of the Univer- sity of London, England, has re- ceived two post graduate degrees from the University of Toronto, and has been certified as a spe- Cialist by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Can- their need before any considera- tion be given to a building per- mit. Council was informed that the school board had approved the purchase and construction of the four portable classrooms at a cost of $27,000. The classrooms are to be constructed at the south side of the building and will be 30 feet wide and 120 feet long. The only facilities in the build- ings will be light and heat with students using the toilet facilities in the main building. It is proposed that the class- rooms be used for a period of two years until the addition is ready for occupancy. The build- Rev. J. Philip Gandon is the new deputy reeve of Exeter, ap- pointed at the regular meeting of council Monday evening. Rev. Gandon's appointment solves the dilemma of council in that no member would willingly volun- teer for this position. Two councillors had been sug- gested for this position, council- lor Mery Cudmore, and council- lor Rev. Gandon. Both of these men indicated that while they were not eager for the position, which would involve a great deal more time than they were free to spend on the job, neither would resign if they were ap- pointed. The decision was de- layed until Monday evening in order to give the members more time to consider this. In discussing his position, ^ouncillor Cudmore indicated he has a responsibility to his busi- NEEIMMEMN.Z. . Stratford girl saved at Bend Cathy Barron, 15, of 187 Rail- way Ave., Stratford, has been released from South Huron Hospital, Exeter, after being res- cued from an undertow while swimming at Grand Bend Sun- day. The girl was pulled from the water by two youths, Tony Ed- wards, of Stratford, and Daniel Michael, of Waterloo, north of the north pier on the main beach. Lifeguards Barbara Jackson, of London and William Dinnin of Zurich, arrived within minutes of the rescue with a resuscitat- or. Dr. E. A. McMaster, of Grand Bend, said the girl was never totally unconscious. She was taken to hospital by ambulance. ada in the field of psychiatry. He will be taking the post as Chief of Psychiatry at the new Tri-service Hospital in Ottawa, Ontario. In answer to his farewell, W/C Rassell gave a short lecture on the Freudian viewpoints relating to the reasons why man flew— much to the hilarious enjoyment of all present. F/L Dave Wilson, after four years with the management School, is also going to Ottawa to fill an appointment at the Ca- nadian Forces Headquarters. Both F/L Charles Langlais and F/L Jerry Saunders are leaving Please turn to page 3 ings will be constructed on ce- ment piles which may be left below the surface of the lawn when the buildings are removed. Works superintendent J im Paisley told members all the materials were on hand and the company was waiting for the permit to be issued Monday even- ing so work could be started Tuesday morning. It is hoped to have these ready for the start of the 65-66 school term. Reeve Boyle classed the pro- posed buildings as disgraceful looking and predicted a lot of complaints. He said, ((people will be highly critical of us if we allow this". He suggested the school ness and to contracts which call for 24 hour service. In as much as new regulations call for 11- cenced mechanics to work on heating systems, Mr. Cudmore indicated he would have a re- sponsibility to be on hand to look after these commitments during the winter months. Councillor Rev. Gandon in- dicated that while he had not bargained for a position such as this he would attempt to do his best. He told members of coun- cil that there would be times, in the case of a funeral and later during Lent, that he would not be able to attend meetings. Councillor Gandon indicated he would accept the appointment prior to a motion being made by council. Members agreed they would not like to appoint a memb- er who would have to resign and Mayor J. Delbridge classed the board should bring proof to coun- cil that they needed these and that they needed them this year. Reeve Boyle received support in voice only from councillor Ted Wright in regards to the looks of the prefabs. Councillor Wright contended that the board has a very good looking school at pre- sent and that he thought it was "stupid" to build the portable classrooms right in front of it. He added however, "if the board doesn't have any other choice as to location then' won't disagree". Reeve Boyle suggested this, ((looks like one more of one man's idea". He suggested the board has spent money before and got regulations covering this as "ridiculous". The next step is for Councillor Gandon to resign and be sworn in as deputy reeve. Following this he will be sworn in at County council. Councillor G and o n replaces deputy reeve Ralph Bailey who died July 10 at South Huron Hos- Rev. J.P. Gandon pital following a heart attack. Don MacGregor who was de- feated during the last municipal election is next in line to fill the vacancy on council. Mr. Mac- Gregor stated Tuesday afternoon he has not been approached by any member of council and has made no decision as to whether he will accept or' reject this position. If Mr. MacGregor should re- ject this offer the next choice would also be a former candidate for council, Harold Hinton. If this also were rejected then coun- cil may appoint a resident of Exeter to fill the remaining term of office. people up in arms. He added, "I think they are trying to cram this down our throats, council should have more information." Reeve Boyle went on to stress the amount of criticism council would receive if they granted this permit when he was interrupted by Mayor Delbridge. The Mayor pointed out council would get a lot more criticism if they did nothing. He said council cannot delay this project until September 7 when the school board has in- dicated they want this building ready for use at this time. They ended the discussion with both men indicating they felt the other was wrong. A motion by reeve Boyle that the granting of the permit be delayed failed to get a seconder. A second motion by councillor Gandon was supported and the permit granted. Band concert for council Council members believe they are the owners of enough uni- forms and instruments to equip a band and probably would be only too happy to turn these over to any group interested in this. If a band is started they have two candidates in their own ranks who seem to have a love for musical instruments according to their actions Monday evening. Councillors J. Wooden and Chuck Barrett interrupted the regular meeting Monday evening long enough to give a demonstra- tion of their skill on two or three different instruments. True, the noises could hardly qualify as music, but then it takes practice to make perfect. The impromptu band concert started after works superintend- ent Jim Paisley informed council he had picked up a quantity of in- struments belonging to the old Exeter band at a local house and had brought them to the town hall for storage. He invited members to have a look at these and was turned down at first. Later when the question of where to store these was raised the members went to view them to get an idea as to how much space these would take. The (music?) followed. Members were also informed that they are paying storage for 36 uniforms which appear to be in good shape as well as storage space for some instruments. The junior band and the high school will be contacted to see whether they would have any use for this equipment or for the large quantity of sheet music which is still on hand. A search will be made to see whether there is still a bank account for the band in an effort to find out who the last signing officers were. The council has already received ad- vice that if the instruments are not to be put in use they should be sold as storage will harm these in time. J. Finkbeiner E.M. Schlenker Motor trouble caused by peak production SHDHS results announced Seek provincial study Still feeling strongly against regulations which force a council to appoint a member from their ranks to the po- sition of deputy reeve in the case of vacancy, members of Exeter council have passed a resolution asking for a study of these regulations. The study was proposed in a resolution presented by Rev. J. Philip Gandon, newly appointed deputy reeve. The resolution points out that as the council of Exeter has been forced into an undesirable situation in that the six members of council are fully able and willing to serve as deputy reeve but by reason of their employment are not able to spend the time that this job requires. The resolution asks for a study to be made of these regulations with the view of having an amendment made which would allow council placed in a similar situation to appoint a deputy reeve from outside the council if necessary. The resolution will be forwarded to the minister of Municipal Affairs, to the sitting members of legislature in this riding and to county council. County council will be asked to forward copies of this resolution to all counties in the province for their endorsation. WOMSEIWKAMEMMISMBEMEM., "W.MONNARM This Rev. J.
