Meanwhile, workmen are fin- ishing up small loose ends of their contracts. The flooring con- tractors are well advanced with their part of the job, and the painters have been on the lo- cation for some time. Most of the electrical, heating and plumb- ing work has been completed, and several truck loads of fur- niture and furnishings arrived at the building early this week. At the same time members of the Zurich Women's Insti- tute are busy on the contract they took from the construction company, for the cleaning in- side and out of all the windows in the building. Fifteen to 20 women have been at the home each day this week working at the meticulous task. Superintendent L.J. Reed re- ported this week that cost to residents of the Home is $6.00 per day, although services of the Home will be offered to those who have no financial assistance and to those who are able to pay any portion of the fullday rate. The Board of Directors has left the matter of financial ar- rangements to the discretion of the Superintendent. It's bad enough to be a quitter. But it's worse to finish something you never should have started: The matter of party leader- ship wasn't even mentioned when Huron's annual meeting of the federal Progressive Conserva- tive Association was held in Clin- ton, Friday. However, members present in- dicated they were happy with their Own leadership, as they returned John Durnin, RR 3 Auburn, to the position of president. Most of the other executive members were also returned, with any new names being those chosen from the new southern territory in the federal riding. It was the first meeting held under the expanded territory and members were named to the directorate from Lucan, Granton and Aliso. Craig. Guest speaker was Alvin Ham- ilton, who appealed to the na- tional pride of the Huron PCs and condemned the Liberals for what he called a deliberate policy of wanting to join with the United States. The former federal agricul- tural minister said the Liberal policy was becoming more clear every day. Mr, Hamilton said the Lib- erals passed a resolution to this effect at their annual meeting earlier this month. He said new devices such as the symbol proposed as a re- placement for the coat of arms on mail trucks, the making of the military defences into a po- lice force, and young Liberals talking about making Canada a republic, are gradually getting people ready for eventual pol- itical and economic union with the U,S. At their annual meeting in Ottawa, the Liberals passed res- olutions favoring a free-trade area in North America and wel- coming foreign investment which is now largely American. Mr. Hamilton told the Hur- on PCs at their annual meet- ing that by the end of the cen- tury, the per capita wealth of Canadians will be equal or great- er than that of any other peo- ple in the world. "To achieve this destiny we Seniors have 75 attending An attendance of 75 was regist- ered at the meeting of the Senior Citizens Club Tuesday evening in the Exeter Legion Hall. Mr. Hilton Ford chaired the program which included a duet by Mrs. Browning and Mrs. Hal- loway accompanied by Mrs. Har- old Jeffery, musical selections on the guitar and accordion by Ken- neth and Grant Jones, Kippen, solos by Carolyn Glanville and by Heather Davis accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Hugh Davis, piano solos by Johnny Wurm and by Mrs. Ross Broadfoot, Kippen and selections by Cecil Skinner on the violin, Nelson Squire on mouth organ with Mrs. Squire at the piano. The Osborne sisters, Monkton, tap danced to the accordion and violin under the leadership of Gordon Hodgert. Mrs. A. Dougall and Joe White conducted a sing- song. President Mrs. Warren Brock gave a brief business re- port. Serving lunch were members of the Legion Auxiliary. December committee is Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lindenfield, Mrs. Edna passmore, Mrs. Laura Harvey, Cecil Skinner, Alvin Cornish and Mr. and Mrs. An- drew Dougall. must bargain as a nation and not allow our fate to be de- cided by the head offices of corporations," he said. “Mr, Hamilton called for an alliance of farmers, business- men and workers for the pur- pose of maintaining Canada as a nation. He warned the PCs not to make the same mistake the Lib- erals made at their convention. He said the Liberals were so busy discussing whether t h e party's leadership should be re- viewed every two years that they forgot to discuss the cost of living. (The Conservative an- nual meeting will be Nov, 14). Warning that Canada would have to import butter this year and beef cattle by 1969, Mr. Hamilton said the land of the Bruce Peninsula, the clay belts of the North and the Ottawa Valley should be tied in with the good grain lands of South- western Ontario to increase beef cattle production. Also addressing the 150 pre- sent was Robert E, McKinley, Huron MP. In addition to the election of Durnin, other officers named were: vice-presidents Roy Cousins, Brussels; Frank Wal- kom and Clayton Laithwaite, both of Goderich; secretary Mrs. F. Town crashes — Continued from front page under the transport at right ang- les, was damaged to an estimat- ed $300. Desjardine told police the emergency brake had been on when he left the car and it is believed the youngster may have hit the accelerator with his hand or foot. About two hours later, Des- Jardine's coffee van was involved in a minor mishap at Tuckey Beverages, only this time it was in front of the office on Main Street. The van was being driven by Mrs. Edna Joyce MacDonald, RR 2 Hensall, and she had been park- ed behind a car owned by Ross Tuckey. When she pulled out to proceed south on Main Street, the rear end of the van caught the rear end of the Tuckey car. Damage was estimated at $100. Hallowe'en —Continued from front page Police in Exeter were bolster- ed by members of the Auxiliary brigade and the Fire Department and they were equipped with walk- ie-talkies in their patrols. Stationed in various sections of town, the men were notified of the whereabouts of groups of youths and were able to keep them under constant surveil- lance. Some youths became so dis- couraged at being continually confronted by a member of the local force that a group of them ended up playing cards at the town hall. The only prank they managed was locking one of their mem- bers in a cell. He was later re- leased by the police, but not be- fore some of his friends (77) ac- quired a picture of him behind bars for the SHDHS year book.

Full Dining Facilities Open From 12 Noon CUSTOM KILLING & PROCESSING All meat double wrapped To prevent freezer burn The Honorable John P. Ro- berts, of Ontario, will officially open the Blue Water Rest Home on Sunday, November 20. Final plans were arranged for the of- ficial opening at a meeting of the board of directors. Along with the premier there will be various other dignitaries attending, including the Hon. C. S. MacNaughton, Huron MLA, and Noble Drew,director of the Homes for Aged branch of the Ontario Department of Public Welfare. There will be a mass volun- teer choir at the opening, to furnish musical entertainment, and all churches, throughout the area are being asked to send several members of their choirs to assist in this part of the program. The official opening will be the climax of over a year's hard work for a number of citizens in the area who have spent many long hours in planning the build- ing and the operation of the same. It was just about a year ago, that the first sod was turned for the construction of the 60-bed rest home. First residents will be mov- ing into the home some time in November, and after the of- ficial opening the balance of the rooms will be filled.
