Council also approved an ad- dition to the garage ofJoeCa.mp- bell, Main St. He explained that the garage had been built many years ago and was not large enough for his car. He arrived at council early and took some members to see the planned extension and they recommended the permit be ap- proved. A permit for renovations to a home owned by Dwayne Tinney, 254 Andrew St., was also ap- proved subject to inspection of the plans by Works Superin- tendent Jim Paisley. Councillor Don .MacGregor said closing of the ditch .04 was ‘des-, perate", Mayor Jack Delbridge agreed, noting that If he lived in that area he would certainly com- plain about conditions of the ditch. Be pointed out the ditch would have to be cleaned out this year and opined it would be wise to close it in now rather than having to clean it our again next year and close in. It was also reported that If the section was .not closed in, it would cause the closed in portion to become filled with silt, Exeter council. Monday night decided to proceed with the covering of the open ditch between Albert and Andrew Streets that runs north of Huron Street. Estimated cost of the project is $3,235, but most of that is the cost of the pipe which will not have to be paid for until next year. The ditch has been closed from EdwardStreet to Albert Street and the discussion of closing the next block has been carried over recent meetings. Three members of council viewed the section last week and MUST STOP One property owner advised after last council that he must have a permit for revovations he is undertaking, still hasn't re- ceived his permit, although mem- bers indicated most of the work has been completed. The property owner had applied for a permit prior to Monday's meeting, but he failed to give any details of the alterations and Council wouldn't apprpve a build- ing permit for him. Works Superintendent JIM Paisley was instructed to advise the owner on Tuesday that he must stop proceedings until the permit has been obtained. When one member of council suggested Paisley should ',lay down the law" regarding the permit, he said he may end up wearing a sling on his arm. "We'll make sure he (property owner) pays for the sling," Mayor Delbridge jokingly stated, Members were advised that another owner had put an addition on a garage without receiving a permit and Paisley was asked to visit him as well. "This has to stop," Mayor Delbridge said, in reference to the people who make additions without obtaining a building per- mit. Council has the authority to make the property owner re- move any such additions.

ONLY TWO About the only contest which failed to attract a large entry list was the pipe smokers' test sponsored by Huntley's Drug Store. Bert Farmer had almost been declared an unchallenged winner when John MacLean, Centralia, was enticed to enter. However, Mr. Farmer still won the prize when he kept the smoke going longer than his lone competitor. The downtown contests ended with a euchre contest, which had six tables in action at the town hall. The street buffet held by the Burkley Restaurant had to close early when they ran out of food and the evening program got underway with a parade of flags behind the Exeter Legion Pipe Band and the. pipers from Strath- roy. After members of the Exeter Promenaders put on a square dance display, the crowd found their way to the community park where a ball game between Exeter STARLITE GOSPEL SERVICES at the Starlite Gospel Theatre, Shipka Sunday, August 27, 8:00 p.m. THE CRYSTALAIRES QUARTET of Crystal, Michigan, providing the complete service.

Dr. Don Ecker, with an accom- plice alleged to have been his daughter, raced into the bank and escaped with two money bags. He made good his escape with Bank Manager C. L. Smith racing out the door after him waving his cane. However, the town's sheriff answered the call quickly and the bandit was dropped from his horse with one shot. Justice came swiftly as he was taken to the library and "hanged" from the nearest tree. Even before the body cooled off, undertakers Bob Fletcher and Iry Armstrong appeared to cart it away for its trip to boot hill. With peace again settling on Exeter, the next event was a costume parade featuring cen- tennial attire and cowboys and Indians. After this was judged, the youngsters all enjoyed the many games set up in the penny arcade at the post office. This was the regular summer playground event which had been postponed to coincide with Fun- day. The final contest on the pro- gram for the youngsters was a bun eating contest that turned out to be more difficult than most had anticipated. Competing in teams, one mem- ber held a honey-covered bun on a long string while the other attempted to eat it without using his hands. As could be expected, some of the entrants had trouble ward- ing off flies after the contest, rec all-stars and Shedden at- tracted a good crowd, as did the fiddlers' and square dance con- test in the arena. About 1,000 people heard the fiddlers and watched the dancers in the event sponsored by Ex- eter's three service clubs. Or- ganizers were overwhelmed at the crowd. On Saturday, the three clubs also sponsored a variety pro- gram at the Legion for invited guests and about 2'70 attended. At that time the Kinsmen ball team draw for a stereo was con- ducted and the winning ticket was held by Mrs. Gerald Lawson, Exeter. There were a total of 17 entries in the fiddlers' contest. Twelve- year-old Johnny Gibbons, Bur- ford, won the under 20 class, followed by Ralph Robinson, RR 4 Parkhill. The only female contestant in the show, Laura Graham, Union- ville, walked off with top honors in the 20 to 50 class. Second was Bill Alexander, RR 4 Petrolia, followed by Reg Fear, Kerwood. Nelson Howe, Cromarty, was the best in the over 50 class. Behind him were Nathan Romphf, Thedford, and Ernie Adair, RR 4 Parkhill. The Jack and Jill Promenad- ers from Pine Grove won the square dance test. The Lamb- ton County Junior Farmers were second. Best in the junior class were the Monkton Marionettes, while the Milverton Belles and Bows placed second. EVANGELICAL UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH DASHWOOD Minister: Rev. M. J. James, B.D.
