Open house at PUC building The next edition of the Times-Advocate will mark another milestone for this newspaper, The Easter issue will be printed in four colors. Appropriately, the front page will be devoted to an Easter theme in full color separation. The first section will also feature advertising in "technicolor" by local businesses. The new venture has been undertaken in the spirit of an experiment to test the skills of our staff and the technical potential of the facilities at our disposal. It can be anticipated that with the advance of color tele- vision, full eolor will also be used by weekly newspapers, as far as they are in a position to do so. The opening of a new field puts utmost demands on the staff whose co-operation is hereby acknowledged. The full color edition of the Times-Advocate will be printed in 6,000 copies. Members of the PUC Commis- sion were onhand Saturday after- noon to greet guests at the open- ing of their new garage and ware- house.

Tenders were to be opened Tues- day evening but an extension until Thursday afternoon was neces- sary to allow one of the sub- trades to complete estimates. Business administrator, E. D. Howey stated Tuesday it was necessary to allow an extension to the sheet metal trades because changes requested by the Ontario Fire Marshal's office made it impossible to complete the es- timates. He stated there are at least two firms which intended to tend- er on the new addition. Cost estimates for the new wing have gone up sharply since pre- liminary planning started due to increased material and 1 a bo r costs. Members have expressed the fear that costs may reach $22 per foot or higher. At present the estimated cost is approximately $2,040,000 of which the eight participating municipalities have agreed to pay $600,000, Debenture costs will also he higher because of the length of time it has taken to get approval for this. Originally the board had reserved a loan from the muni- cipal works assistance program for $187,000 of which there would be a 25 percent forgiveness. Cancer society plan campaign The Huron County Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society will be canvassing this area during the month of April. Various or- ganizations and individuals have volunteered to assist with the canvass and this year the goal has been set at $19,000, At a meeting held in Exeter Monday evening chairman Lloyd Bern outlined the campaign con- ference he attended in Toronto recently. Members gave pro- gress reports in preparation for the campaign start. Daffodils, the official flower of the Association, will again be placed in area churches as a visable reminder of the need for support. The first Sunday of the campaign is Palm Sunday and members had earlier questioned whether to continue this practice this year because of this, Mr. Hern reminded members that when recruiting they must get attention, interest, desire and action. Campaign chairman R o be r t Luxton reported that most area chairmen have been contacted and have their organizations ready. County newspapers will be ask- ed to support the campaign, especially during the weeks of April 7 and 14 when most of the canvassing will be carried out. New PUC warehouse opened on Saturday entering a float and in par- ticular suggested that if any ser- vice clubs wish to participate In this they should contact the president Larry Willert or any member of the organization. If anyone has not been contacted by this weekend they should tele- phone immediately in order that final plans can be completed. To date there has been very good co-operation between mer-- chants and the Teen Town and it would appear this year's parade will surpass the parade last year at least as far as the number of cars is concerned. Any proceeds from the parade are donated to the Bunny Bundle. Plans are well underway for the big Easter parade sponsored by the Exeter Teen Town and the Exeter businessmen. The par- ade will start at 2;00 pm Satur- day afternoon April 9 and is ex- pected to draw large crowds as it has in the past. Merchants cars, trucks and other vehicles will be but a few of the attractions of the afternoon. Members of the Teen Town and other volunteers will assist with decorating displays for mer- chants. Members of the executive in- dicated they do not wish to miss giving anyone the opportunity of Appoint officer to SHDHS Board Flying Officer Roy Sapp, Training Aids Co-ordinator at Central Officers' School, RCAF Station Centralia, has recently been appointed as RCAF Repre- sentative to the South Huron Dis- trict High School Board.

The four mill increase is an uncontrollable expense over which council can do little more than accept. Earlier this month the South Huron District High School an- nounced they would require an extra two mills to operate this year and more recently Huron County announced they would be asking for an additional 1.8 mills. Both labor and material costs have been increasing steadily in most other departments while the assessment growth has not kept pace. Council has a responsibility to supply necessary services such as fire and police and can do little to cut either of these budgets. This year the RAP com- mittee is asking for more money as is the Library Board. Whether these requests will be granted in full or not will be a tough decision for council, It would seem very unlikely that council could cut any portion from their road or sewer pro- jects. It is almost mandatory that they continue a planned pro- gram of reconstruction and main- tenance, It's like the lady said: "Isn't it a glorious feeling to be among people you know and trust?" This was overheard when a local customer returned from a city shopping trip where she en- countered the hustle and bustle and "don't care" attitude of big city clerks. Recognition, fellowship and trust are basic needs, and you'll find all these attributes here. You can shop with confidence with friends and neighbors to help you find exactly what you want and need at the price you want to pay.

He replaces Jim Russell who wrote le-A sports from the fall of 1964 until the present date. Jim decided to step down from the position as sports editor to devote more of his time to the family bus ines s.

The public also was able to view a hydro storage area in the basement of the older building. This large room, approximately 24 feet by 34 feet, was unex- cavated prior to last winter. At that time earth was removed and a concrete floor and a plywood ceiling were installed. The com- pleted cost of this storage area was slightly over $2.00 per square foot. Prior to the erection of these facilities, equipment and some materials carried by the P.U.C. were stored in pumphouses and other available places in town. The Commission is of the opin- ion that, by centralizing storage areas, the Utility should be better able to keep pace with the In- creasing demand for hydro and water facilities. On March 25, 1966, the public had the opportunity to view the Exeter public Utilities Commis- sion's new warehouse and equip- ment at 379 Main Street. In past years the Commission has purchased material from the Ontario Hydro. However, due to extensive rebuilding program of the Utility, it became necessary to provide its own storage for materials as well as equipment. A concrete block building, 60 feet by 34 feet, was erected at the rear of the Commission's of- fice at 379 Main Street at a cost of $17,520.00. The building con- sists of four rooms. A storage area for trucks and transform- ers, and a second room is pro- vided for waterworks materials and equipment. A third room is used for waterheater storage and a fourth room provides mainten- Rev. J. Bodenham is new pastor Rev. I. Bodenham is the new pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Exeter. Rev.
