SUSPEND LICENSE
A 16-year-old Zurich youth,
Allan H. Hohner, had his driv-
er's license suspended for 21
days and received a fine of $20
after pleading guilty to a charge
of creating unnecessary noise
with his car on May 7 in Zurich.
Several drivers were reported
to be blowing their car horns
in the early morning hours. When
OPP Constable Giassford asked
them to refrain, Hohner would not
heed him and used abusive lan-
guage.
Magistrate Hays told the youth
he apparently had no sense of
responsibility or regard for those
who would be sleeping at that
hour.
Several other traffic charges
were heard in court as follows:
John VanDyk, Tuck er srn ith
Township, was fined $20 and
costs for failing to yield the right
of way while pulling onto Highway
84 in Hensall. He was driving
north on Nelson St. and hit a
truck on the highway. VanDyk told
the court his view had been
obstructed by a mirror on the
right side of his truck,

Six killed
in shooting
Huron County experienced one
of its most shocking tragedies
this week, when six members of
an Auburn area family were kill-
ed in an apparent murder-suicide
incident.
Goderich OPP believe Charles
McNee, 50, took his life after
shooting his wife and four of
their five children in their beds
early Friday morning.
The children ranged in age
from seven to 20, and the lone
survivor was Helen McNee, a
bank clerk in Stratford, who dis-
covered the bodies of her family
upon arriving home from Strat-
ford, Friday evening.
Shocked, grief-stricken friends
and neighbors remembered the
McNees as a friendly, active
family, devoted to one another.
None could give any reason for
the shootings.

with the insertion of doors and

in September. Let's hope so!

A last look at artistic beauty
k beautiful painting adorning the choir loft of the Whalen United Church will probably be lost when the
church is demolished. At Sunday's closing service of the Whalen congregation, church officials Bill

was done about eight years ago. Mrs. Bowman is the former Maida Morley of the Whalen district.

collecting from persons touring
the affected area after the storm.
Members of the club also as-
sisted at a benefit dance in the
Lakeview Casino which netted
about $1600 for the fund and they
held their own dance in Hensall
and raised another $200.
The Kinsmen also sent letters
to all clubs in District 1 asking
for donations and to date have
received about $900, although
Harold Knight, who is in charge
of the project, said he hoped
more would be coming yet.
Another group contributing
substantially to the fund was the
congregation at the Christian Re-
formed Church in Exeter. The
Sunday after the tornado hit, Rev.
D. J. Scholten asked fora special
collection and the 32 families in
the congregation donated $709.27.
Mr. Humphreys said there has
been no deadline set for dona-
tions, which will still be accepted
at area banks.

Joseph Robert Regier, RR 2
Dashwood, paid total fines of
$200 when he pleaded guilty to
a charge of careless driving and
consuming liquor while under the
age of 21 when he appeared before
Magistrate Glenn Hays, Q,C„ in
Exeter court, Tuesday.
The youth was charged by0PP
Constable Ed Wilcox after the
car he was driving left the high-
way south of Dashwood on April
8 and crashed into two poles.
A passenger in the car, Dennis
McCann was killed.
The court was told the two
youths were returning from a
party around 3:00 a.m. and the
driver of a car which they passed
shortly before the accident es-
timated their speed in the neigh-
borhood of 70 m.p.h.
The car later went out of con-
trol and snapped off one pole be-
fore coming to rest after hitting
another. Both McCann and Regier
were tossed from the vehicle.
Exeter lawyer E. D, I3e11, Q,C.,
said Regier had been drinking
sparingly, but it was not relevant
to the accident, He told the court
it was possible Regier may have
been attempting to light a cig-
arette when he lost control of
the vehicle, or he may have been
interfered with by his passenger.
Mr. Bell also pointed out the
highway was wet and slippery.
Appearing on behalf of the
accused also was Eric Campbell,
of Guenther-Tuckey Transports
Ltd., where the youth is em-
ployed.
Mr. Campbell told the court
the accused was good worker"
and was always on time and was
a promising apprentice.
In handing down the fine of
$150 on the careless driving
charge, Magistrate Hays noted
the youth had already suffered
considerable mental anguish
through the death of McCann.
The youth pleaded guilty to
both charges, and was fined $50
for consuming liquor while under
the legal age.
A fine of $100 was levied
against another man charged with
careless driving. Charged was
Beverly Keller, Dashwood.
OPP Constable Dale Lamont
investigated the man's driving
after police had received several
complaints on May 6.

Boyle explained that while the

they went on to play in three
more playoff rounds, it also re-
sulted in a considerable revenue

In conclusion we quote from
the Department of Education Kin-
dergarten 1966. "The teacher is
aware that the emphasis is on the
child learning and not the teach-
er teaching. The child learns nat-
urally through interaction with
his environment: for him learn-
ing is an active, seeking process.
The richness of the child's ex-
perience depends greatly on the
classroom environment.
, The room should be alive with
interesting things - things which
make the child wonder, question,
and attempt to find answers.
There should b e frequent chang-
es, with new and challenging
stimulii. The teacher provides
the media, arranges the situa-
tions, and assists the child by
asking questions, by helping him
answer his questions, by listen-
ing tr him, by encouraging him,
by guiding him. and by helping
him reflect on his learning."

from class to class, so that it
isn't so dull.
Through my past five weeks
here I have found that most of
the teachers are very under-
standing. Some of my other in-
interests are the arrangement
of the classrooms, the colour
scheme, P.A. system, and the
use of different projectors. But,
keep in mind that we only have
been going to Huron Centennial
School about six weeks. Imagine
how exciting it'll be in the months
and years to come!
First and second year pupils
when asked what they liked about
their new school quickly made up
an exhaustive list. The following
ideas were submitted by these
children.

A full meeting of the Ausable
River Conservation Authority
authorized its executive to sign
a contract with Redfern Con-
struction Co. Ltd., Toronto, for
construction of the Parkhill dam.
Tender price is $1,881,738.
The meeting was held inPark-
hill, Wednesday, and it was learn-
ed that two cabinet ministers
would be among the dignitaries
officiating at the event. They are
the Hon. Maurice Sauve, federal
minister of forestry and rural
development, and the Hon. J. R.
Simonett, provincial minister of
energy and resources.
Also assisting at the sod turn-
ing on June 5 will be ARC A chair-
man Wellington Brock, and a past
chairman, Freemanliodgins, who
is chairman of the Parkhill dam
advisory board.
Over 130 special invitations
have been sent out for the event
and the public and area school
children will also be invited.
A discussion was held on the
proposed Hibbert dam, and the
ARCA adopted it as scheme 21
and it will proceed if they are
able to acquire a government
grant of 90% on the $100,000
project.
As the benefitting municipality,
Hibbert would pay 90% of the re-
maining 10% and the ARCA gen-
eral levy would cover the balance.
The proposed bridge-dam
would be constructed on lot 19,
concession 12, on the farm of
Gerald Carey. Its main purpose
is for water supply and stream
flow on a branch of the Ausable.
An engineering study conduct-
ed in 1965 indicated the damwould
flood about 14 acres of land in
the area. ."•VAWNteftfartergMititiMttitititt:Ritit'Ziiktga"MitWicrry * r .,..,;.`7; 'r, •

Urge residents
to grow zinnias
R. E. Pooley, Exeter's cen-
tennial committee chairman, re-
ported this week that Exeter's
official flower is the zinnia and
the centennial committee is urg-
ing all ratepayers to grow the
colorful flowers this year.
An avid gardener himself, Mr.
Pooley stated that the zinnia is
one of the easiest flowers to grow.
You can plant the seeds right in
your garden, and as soon as the
plants are large enough, they can
be transplanted wherever you
wish to have them.
''They will add u mass of color
to your garden in late summer
and fall," Mr. Pooley explained,
