They defeated Wingham 16-7 on Tuesday of this week, under dreadful weather con- ditions! Wingham Mustange brought with them 600 loyal fans. How- ever, they were unable to cheer their team to victory. It was greatly encouraging to see the school spirit of both Wingham and SHDHS. Most stu- dents remained until the very last whistle was blown. Grade 13 students, along with students from the other grades, organized a band. Drums, bag- pipes, trombones, saxophones and many other musical instru- ments made an appearance on the field. Congratulations Panthers, for you have accomplished a feat hereto unheard of in the Exeter area since 1956. You had a fab- ulous year, topping it off by taking the championship. May the team fare as well in years to come! tario School Trustee's Associa- WM. Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith, wondered why it was necessary to send delegates to the Interna- tional Plowing Match when it wasn't being held in Huron County. The Warden said it bad always been done. Proposal to authorize sending seven delegates, with expenses, to the Ontario Good Roads Con- vention in Toronto produced a sharp query from Clarence Boyle, reeve of Exeter. The seven would include the County Engineer and members of the County Roads Com m Mee, Mr. Boyle wanted to know why the County of Huron had to set up a county room at the Good Roads Convention to entertain people from Exeter and other places in the county "and other visiting firemen". He pointed out that Exeter already was bill- ed for $40,000 through the county levy and why make the taxpayers pay twice? " "It's just money wasted!" he declared. considerable amount of work is involved, especially in connec- tion with Canada Pension deduc- tions, income tax deductions, un- employment insurance d e du c- tions and the like." Mr. McIlwain also brought up the matter of the cost of send- ing delegates to conventions which he said always has been a concern of county council. In an endeavour to keep these costs to a minimum, and at the same time send reasonable representation from the county to as many con- ventions as possible, the com- mittee made several recommend- ations which were adopted: No delegate to Canadian Pub- lic Health Association; one dele- gate, either clerk or deputy clerk to Municipal Clerks' and Finance Officers' Association; three dele- gates to Ontario Association of Rural Municipalities r educ ed from three to one, the Warden; two delegates only to Interna- tional Plowing Match; Warden and chairman of Agriculture committee; two delegates to On- Pipers entertain cubs Forced indoors at Grand Bend's annual Remembrance Day service, members of the Exeter Legion Pipe band entertained the Legion members and officials gathered.

T-A photo Huron roads show deficit but surplus is expected Doctor's wife dies in west had so many resolutions he was put on the committee, he said. The convention endorsed the following: 100 percent participa- tion in a county library system; uniform education system; ex- empt members of municipal councils from contributing to the Canada Pension Plan; but filed a Town of Clinton resolution re- garding Juvenile Delinquents Act, and referred to committee, a proposed income tax exemption for councillors up to $1,000. "Although no definite informa- tion is forthcoming. there is every indication that the Province of Ontario will be responsible for the cost of administration of justice after January 1, 1968, the treasurer explained. "De- tails haven't been made known to us; therefore I cannot advise the saving as far as the County is concerned, but the amount could range anywhere from $60.- 000 to $90,000," The Clerk-Treasurer reported on a recent convention of the Ontario Counties in Niagara Falls. which he had attended as a delegate. The County of Huron Joseph Woodall dies at Clinton Mrs. W. E. Weekes of Van- couver, formerly of Exeter, died in Vancouver Hospital, Friday, November 10 having suffered a severe coronary the week pre- vious.

(Bill) Weekes, Colorado Springs, Col. Zurich grant Although the county roads de- partment shows a deficit at the moment of $33,908 by the year end this deficit will have been wiped out and a small surplus is anticipated. County Treasurer J. G. Berry told the members of Huron County Council at the No- vember session in Goderich Mon- day. He pointed out that the high- ways department always oper- ates with a deficit until the year end. Mr. Berry said that the other departments are operating with- in their budgets and the finances for the balance of the year appear promising. Financial reports were presented as follows: gen- eral account, highways, county health unit, county library, Coun- ty Home, and Children's Aid So- ciety. Due to increased demands on the finances of the County dur- ing 1967, original borrowing by- law for 1967 will have to be amended from $300,000 to $400,- 000 he stated. Substantial salary increases for most Huron County officials were voted without debate at the November Session of Huron County council in Goderich Mon- day. Effective date is January 1, 1968 for all raises. Action was taken on recom- mendation of the Warden's and Personnel Committee, Everett U. Mcllwain, Goderich Township, chairman, Changes approved were as fol- lows: Clerk-Treasurer John G. Ber- ry; increased by $500 per annum to $12,000 plus $500 car allow- ance; Deputy Clerk-Treasurer B.

Recommendations of the com- mittee adopted regarding cost of transportation to conventions, to allow more control, were as follows: three delegates attend- ing a convention one mileage to be paid; four to six delegates attending -- two mileages to be paid except where circumstances warrant otherwise on approval of the committee concerned. Everett U. Mcllwain, commit- tee chairman, informed council that last year, council commenc- ed the policy of establishing sal- aries for the forthcoming year at the November Session. "This system has worked out quite satisfactor"ly because not only are the employees advised well in advance as to salary for the forthcoming year, but also it gives the payroll department an opportunity of preparing the necessary documents just once, and then they are complete for the year. "When salary changes are made in the current year, a HOME FROM TRIP Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Klumpp and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Finnen of Dashwood Industries Limited have returned home from a busi- less trip to Germany, Italy, Aus- tria and England.

The Magazine Campaign ended officially on Nov. 13. We were approximately $1,000 short of our $5,600 objective. T-A sub- scriptions brought in $3,000, but this does not count towards the goals of $5,600. On behalf of everyone at SHDHS may I say "thank you" to the people of Exeter and the surrounding municipalities and townships for supporting our campaign as faithfully as you did.

By the time the rally was over, everyone was in fine yell- ing voice and carried this spirit out onto the field with them. This week I would like to introduce Miss O'Neil and Mr. John Remkes.

Leroy Thiel, Zurich. in sub- mitting the committee report, pointed out that at the present time, the assessors employed by municipalities are able to carry on without a licence. How- ever, should an assessor term- inate his employment with a municipality, then his replace- ment must be a licensed party. Very shortly, there will be a number of municipalities within Huron C ounty faced with the prob- lem of engaging a licensed as- sessor to carry on the necessary work. In Huron County, there are about four qualified assess- ors who might be available for employment either at the local level or on the county basis. The committee reported that with the establishment of county assessment in several counties, as a matter of fact in practically all counties in Ontario now, these people become very valuable. County Clerk-Treasurer J. G. Berry estimated the cost of the new system at about $100.000 per year at least. County Assessor A. A. Alex- ander said it was not his idea at all but Huron County was just starting to get into the squeeze, when licensed assessors are re- quired . He estimated that a staff of eleven persons would be needed including seven fully qualified ones and several others in train- ing.
