Council takes step
to control lot sale
Keep check on speeds
Motorists in large numbers have been out on area roads with the arrival of fine weather, and some have
already learned that driving within the proper speed limits is the best policy. Officers from the Exeter
OPP detachment have their own radar equipment now and Cpl. C, J. Mitchell reports they will use it
quite frequently throughout the area. OPP Constable Dale Lamont is seen here during a recent check in
Hensall.

The congregatiop of Bethel ae
formed Church received approval
to build a rectory on the south
side of Hurert Street, aorosafrom
their church this week.
conOciller Joe W99clett opposed
the move, claiming it was Unfair
to owners of registered stibdtv-
istons to face competitions from
property owners who have not
subdivided land and met the ex,
pepsive requirements of opening
a subdivision.
However, after ;earning that
council had approved a permit
for another house on Huron St.
at the meeting he missed two
weeks ago, he presented the mo-
tion that the church be given
approval to erect the new home,
At the same time, he succeed-
ed in having council approve his
suggestion that the clerk and
mayor meet with the town solicit-
or to prepare a draft subdivision
control bylaw and part lot bylaw.

If a .subdivision control bylaw
is paaSedl this would halt the
said of lots in other than ap-
ProYett anbdiVls199s,
cfWe have to get some control,"
he remarked.
A'month ago, council turned
down a request from the church
congregation representatives for
approval to build a house on the
proposed extension of p ryde
Boulevard north of their church.
Thts was a contravention of the
zoning bylaw which stipulates that
no residence can bp erected un-
less it fronts onto a street.
Wooden pointed out there were
no drains in the land proposed
for the house site on the south
side of Huron Street and Coun-
cillor Ted Wright replied that
council had issued several per-
mits subject to existing drain-
age.
"I know," Wooden replied,
"but it's-time we stopped."
OKAY APARTMENT
Several other building permits
were issued at the meeting, one of
which was for W. E. Simmons to
commence construction on h i s
six-unit apartment building in the
area south of Victoria Park.
The former mayor has indicat-
ed plans to build three such apart-
ment buildings in this area.
Other permits issued were as
follows:
Milt Taylor, to renovate house
on William Street; Ward Fritz,
to erect an addition to the office
at the Supertest station at the
junction of Highways 4 and 83;
Lulu Culbert, to repair roof of
house on William Street; Bob
Dykstra, to erect a garage on
Victoria Street; Clarence Re-
gier, to renovate house at 182
Huron Street.
All permits were issued sub-
ject to adherence to the zoning
bylaw.

Optometrists
hold session
Norm Martin, 0.D., of Exeter
participated in the 1968 Mid-
Winter Congress of the Optomet-
rical Association of Ontario, in
Toronto. The theme was public
health and optometry.
Ontario Department of Health
representatives G. K. Martin,
M.D., and A. F. Bull and Henry
B. Peters, 0.D., Dean and Di-
rector of Clinics, School of Op-
tometry, University ofCalifornia,
were the Congress's key theme
speakers.
The Congress passed a reso-
lution offering the optometric
services of its members to the
Ontario government for the pur-
pose of carrying out a vision
screening program among all
Ontario drivers. It was estimat-
ed this would take about two
years to accomplish. At present,
the Ontario government lacks the
personnel to screen the vision
of Ontario drivers beyond those
taking driving tests, the Con-
gress was told by John Wylie,
0.D., chairman of the Associa-
tion's Motorists' Vision Com-
mittee,
Dr. Wylie also told delegates
that the minimum vision standard
of 20/40 recently made law by
Ontario is not adequate on to-
day's high speed roads. He said
the new standard was an im-
provement over the earlier 20/60
standard, but warned of possible
trouble ahead for drivers with
20/40 Vision when speeds are
raised to '70 m.p.h, on roads like
the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway.
The Village of Grand Bend will
receive the same police protec-
tion for the summer months as it
did last year.
Members of council were as-
sured of this Monday night by
Sergeant-Major Jack Munro of
the Ontario Provincial Police
district office in Chatham.
Munro said a complement of
24 officers with one sergeant in
charge will move into the summer
resort on May 11 and stay until
Labour Day weekend.
Sgt. .1. H. "Jock" Shepherd
who was in charge of the OPP
force in 1967 will not be back
as he was promoted only Monday
to Detective-Sergeant and trans-
ferred to District 5 headquarters
at Downsview.
When queried by Reeve Orval
Wassman, Munro said, "I don't
believe that the new policy an-
nounced a few months ago where-
by the province would take over
all administration of justice and
receive the revenue from fines
will be in effect this year. As
far as I know everything will be
the same as last year with the
village supplying office space and
secretarial services and receiv-
ing 50% of the fines."
Council had been concerned
that they would take a financial
beating under the proposed new
system whereby the municipality
would only receive fifty cents
per capita in lieu of fines collect-
ed or a total slightly in excess of
$300. In 1967, Grand Bend re-
ceived well over $9,000 as their
share of the fines for infractions
in the summer resort village.
The village went to consider-
able expense last year in build-
ing a new fire hall and renovat-
ing the old fire hall to provide
modern accommodations for the
summer provincial police force.
The OPP official continued,
"We expect to carryout the same
program as last year with the
same amount of men and would
hope for the same results."
He also said that the complete
force would again he housed at
the Patio motel on the eastern
edge of the village.
In general discussion, the OPP
Det. Sgt. said that all provincial
police detachments are being en-
larged as the small one or two
man forces are being eliminated.
The Forest detachment has now
grown to more than 20 officers
and a new station is being set
up at Petrolia. with an anticipated
strength Of 35 men.
Two officials of the Depart-
ment of Tourism and Publicity,
JIM McHattie and Dave McKen,
zie consulted With council in
closed session regarding the in-
speCtion of all tourist accommo-
dations before the s u m rri e
season begint,
Councillors Were told all est-
ablisinentS will be inspected
VerY shortly and council will be
informed of all licences issued,
The Department of Totirism
ficials said provincial minimum
regulations will be imposed.
A representative of the On-
tario Water Resources Com-
mission will be visiting Grand
Bend this week to set up work
plans for the installation of the
new waterworks system for the
village. Tenders are expected to
be called within the next week or
so. After hearing favorable re-
ports on the progress of the
water program, Councillor John
Teevins commented, "The water
may be in yet before my hair
turns grey."
This was in reference to a
statement made by Teevins a
few weeks ago when the water
project was being held up by
technicalities.
In other business, council:
Accepted the application of
Alexander Leatherland to as-
sume the position of Dockmaster
for the 1968 season., •
Also accepted the application of
Mrs. Vera Rue to take care of
the duties of bath house attend-
ant. Her wages will be $1.25
per hour on weekdays and $2.00
per hour on weekends when two
persons are needed for duty.
Re-appointed Wes Venner as
senior parking attendant to be on
duty Saturdays, Sundays and holi-
days at a rate of $2 per hour.

any dog which they feel to be
suffering from an infectious dis-
ease.
Upon the dog being placed in
the pound, the owner shall be-
come liable for a fee of $5,
whether the dog is claimed or
not. If the owner is unable to
produce proof that the dog has
been vaccinated against rabies
within the two previous years,
the dog shall be vaccinated at
the expense of the owner before
it is released.
The bylaw comes into effect
upon the third reading, which is
expected to be done at the next
council meeting.
The pound keepers are to make
an accounting to council each
month.
Much of council's time was
again taken up with drainage pet-
itions and the petitions from the
following were accepted and turn-
ed over to C. P. Corbett to pre-
sent a report as soon as possible.
Stuart Tr I ebne r, William
Northcott and Homer Russell, for
a drain on the third and fourth
concessions; Al Scholl, for a
drain on the second concession;
Gerald Regier and Cleveland
Gingerich, for a drain on the 10th
concession; Donald Rader, drain
on the SB concession; Warren,
Philip and Gerald Regier, for a
drain on the 10th and 1 lth conces-
sion.
It was also decided that the
reports on the Cohen drainage
works will be read at 7:45 p.m.
on April 8, and the McDonald
drain report will follow at 9:00
p.m. the same date.
In other business, council:
Authorized the clerk to write
suppliers of liquid calcium chlor-
ide asking for tenders for supply-
ing and applying it. Bids to be re-
ceived by council by April 15.
Heard an appeal that an auto
wrecking yard on the 14th con-
cession be cleaned up.

In reply to Wooden's question
regarding street sweeping, Pais-
ley said he was having difficulty
in locating a power sweeper.
Wooden asked council to con-
sider the possibility of residents
holding their own "do-lt-your-
self" program to clean up boule-
vards ripped up in recent con-
struction;
He suggested residents be silo-
plied with top soil and seed and
requested to do their own work.
However, Councillor Wright
replied it would take consider-
able supervisioa to make sure all
boulevards were at the same
level and added that if people
were concerned they would have
the work done already.
*
Wooden also suggested to coun-
cil some procedural changes to
better council meeting debates.
He suggested councillors often
broached major subjects on the
spur of the moment and at times
decisions were reached too
hastily on some matters.
"We need a system for more
time for study on these things,"
he suggested, questioning if a
notice of motion should be pre-
sented on major topics.

He followed his own suggestion
and presented a notice of motion
calling for speed limits in the
town's school zones to be 15

Students collect

Volunteer students from SHDHS
collected about $720 in their can-
vass of Exeter on behalf of the
Canadian Red Cross Society last
week.
Reg Beavers, chairman of the
campaign, said the students did a
"tremendous job" and said they
certainly deserved a pat on the
back for willingly assisting.
About 30 students conducted the
door-to-door appeal.
Mr. Beavers said that if any-
one was missed and wished to
make a donation this could be
done by leaving it at his store.
