The second problem, cited by Councillor Don MacGregor, was the fact that the sewer system is overloaded. "There's only one drain and it just can't take it," he remarked, Works superintendent Glen. Kells pointed out to council that the three phases set up for the construction of the sewer system had not been followed, While phase one is complete, phase three has been started prior to phase two, Phase two provides another trunk line to the lagoon, while at the present time, the only access to the lagoon is through the William St. system. The various phases have not been adhered to by recent councils, who have attempted to install sewer services in problem areas. An opinion expressed this week was that the policy may have been a mistake. In addition, a large amount of storm water is being carried in the sanitary system and this has previously been suggested as another major problem, Answers to come Some answer to the problem may be forthcoming within a week to 10 days. Consulting engineer B. M. Ross and Associates have been hired by council to undertake a study of the system and attempt to come up with some remedies for the problems. Members predicted the remedies may be expensive. "It will cost a lot of money," Huron enrolment down, Exeter numbers rise Boat goes for a ride, bikes taken on holiday Seltzer vehicle, which was proceeding west. Murray Lauzon, a passenger on the motorcycle, was taken to South Huron Hospital for treatment of shock, back injuries and abrasions to both legs. Damage in the crash was listed at $600 by Constable E. C. Wilcox. At 8:05 p.m. the same day, Constable F. L. Giffin, investigated an accident at the intersection of Highways 21 and 84 at St. Joseph's. Drivers involved were Glen Allen Gascho, RR 3 Zurich, and Roy Reynolds, London. Damage was set at $375. On Monday at 1:30 a.m., two cars were involved in a crash on the Crediton Road near the drive-in theatre at Shipka. Michael Gerald Essex, London, was proceeding to make a left turn into the theatre entrance when he was in collision with a car driven by Richard N. Jennison, Grand Bend. Jennison was east bound and was attempting to pass at the time Essex turned. Constable W. G. Glassford listed damage at $600. The other weekend crash occurred Friday at 8:20 p.m. on Sideroad 20 at the junction of concession 2, Stephen. Drivers involved were Adrien Lassaline, London, and Mark Peter Coalman, RR 1 Exeter. Damage was set at $400 by Constable D. A. Mason and Donna Jean Lassaline sustained minor injuries. The other crash occurred Tuesday on Highway 81 south of the Crediton Road, involving a vehicle driven by James Gerard Welsh, London. Damage was set at $175 by Constable Mason and Welsh was charged with impaired driving. During the week, the officers charged 12 persons under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another 30. There were four charges under the Criminal Code and two under the Liquor Control Act. Dash wood when Constable W, G. Glassford went to investigate the fact the wagons had no tail lights, while being operated on the highway late Monday evening. Councillor Ross Dobson stated, while Reeve Boyle said it may cost $100,000 to end the problem. Councillor Helen Jermyn interjected that many ratepayers - such as those on William St. - would be happy to pay higher taxes than spend money in repairing furnaces and appliances after flooding occurs in their basements. She also said that council would have to consider halting most other new construction such as roads and sidewalks until the drainage situation is improved. Before the William St. delegation left, Mayor Del bridge advised that council was trying to find an answer to the problem, but that a remedy wouldn't be provided overnight. "We'll do our best," he added, "but we can only wo.rkas fast as the engineer and as money is available". "Okay, press on team," Gould remarked as he left the meeting. Clean drain Works superintendent Glen Kells later in the meeting advised council that some of the sanitary sewers are filling up and should be cleaned out. He reported that firms with equipment to clean out sewers charged about $300 per day. Kells said that one section in the Ann St. area is half filled with gravel and should be cleaned out as soon as possible before the new Carling St. sewer, now under construction, is in full operation. He said the added number of homes being serviced could provide new problems unless the sewer is cleaned out. Council asked him to get prices on the job.

Seven one-room schools in McKillop township had a total enrolment of 177, an increase of four. At the Air Marshal Hugh Campbell school at the Canadian Forces Base, Clinton, 219 students enrolled as compared to 357 in attendance last June. Because the base is due to be phased out, there has been a decrease in the teaching staff from 18 to 12. This school is not under the jurisdiction of the Huron county board of education. Exeter council received about 25 more complaints this week regarding water in basements and predictions around the council table were that it will cost a great deal of money to rectify the situation. A letter was received from Mr. and Mrs. Doug Gould regarding the flooding of basements on William St. in the heavy rain of July 29 and they listed about two dozen more property owners on the street who had water in their basements. The William St. couple also appeared before council to discuss the matter as did another resident of the street, Miss Marion Bisset, The Goulds pointed out they sustained considerable damage to furnace and appliances in the July 24 flood of 1969, but realizing they were not alone, no complaint was registered. However, with similar damage this year, they asked council for some assurances that corrective steps will be taken to end the problem. Gould said that prior to hooking into the sewer they had never experienced water problems in the 11 years they have lived on the street. Another letter was received from Mr. and Mrs. Percy McFalls complaining about the "extremely faulty sewer system". Residents on the street had as much as two feet of water in their basements on July 29 of this year. Two problems Members of council outlined two problems causing the flooding. One was the fact that the two rains in question were more severe than any experienced before. "We've never had a rain like the one in 1969 or the one this year, for that matter," Mayor Del bridge stated. It was noted that the five inches of rain recorded this year in one day was more than the average rainfall normally experienced in the entire month of July. Reeve Boyle explained that it was just impossible, from an At the latest meeting of Usborne township council a bid submitted by Cudmore Heating of Exeter to repair the heating system in the Usborne road department building at Elimville was accepted. The Exeter heating contractor will install a new oil burner in the building's furnace and put the furnace in good condition for a total price of $379.50. On the advice of the township solicitor separate agreements will be signed by the Kirkton Agricultural Society and the KirktonCommunity Association for the use, maintenance and insurance for their respective buildings on the grounds of the Kirk ton-Woodham Community Centre. Three tile drain loan applications in the amount of $16,000 were accepted subject to approval of the Ontario Treasury Department. Authorization was given to treasurer Harry Strang to make an advance of $125 less pension payment to Laverne Kellett as township hall custodian for 1970. Council supported the Ontario Municipal Association's opposition to the application of Bell of Canada to the Canadian Transport Commission for increased rates. Drivers on Highway 21 near Grand Bend Monday evening must have thought they were getting too close to the lake when they saw a boat careening down the highway. The boat had been on a trailer hauled by a Windsor man, and when a tire blew out on the car, the 20-ft. boat shot off the trailer. The incident was one of several occurrences investigated by the Exeter OPP detachment officers in the past week. On Tuesday morning, they were advised that two mini-bikes had been stolen from N. T. Monteith Ltd., South of Exeter. The bikes, valued at around $500, were apparently stolen some time between Saturday and Tuesday. Breakins were also reported at a home and a cottage in the St. Joseph's area, but as yet owners have been unable to determine if anything was stolen. A theft was reported at the Dufferin Hotel at Centralia. A table was missing. An area farmer abondoned his tractor and two gravity boxes in Enrolment rises at Huron Hope Huron Hope School for Retarded Children began its second year under the County Board of Education this week with an enrolment of 14 pupils. Five are full-day students while others are half-day pu pils. The children, both Catholic and Protestant, are brought in by taxi from as far away asThedford, Grand Bend__, Hensall and Zurich. Huron Hope School is accommodated in the J.A.D. McCurdy Public School at Huron Park and has the distinction of being one of four schools in Ontario where retarded children are able to join in some of the programs of other school pupils and share the facilities such as the gymnasium and library. The program for these children emphasized social skills rather than academic knowledge and much time is spent out of the classroom in activities such as shopping, skating, bowling and swimming. Mrs. James Scott, B.A., is the principal and Mrs. Mildred MacGregor, B.A. is her assistant. A report released Tuesday night by the Huron County board of education shows 13,434 students attended the opening day of school, a decrease of 34 in the over-all picture covering 42 schools in the County. The five secondary schools enrolled 4,624 (as compared to 4,639 in Sept. 1969); in the 31 elementary schools, 8,768 registered (8,789 last year) and 42 were enrolled in three schools for retarded children (40 last year). South Huron District High School registered 967 as compared to last year's 951, and at Exeter Public School attendance was up from 522 last year to 533. Enrolments in other schools were: F. E.

The engineer's reports were accepted on the Miller and the Datars-Miller drains with estimated costs of $20,640 and $67,560, respectively. Two tile drain loan applications were approved in the amount of $4,000 and will be forwarded to the Ontario Treasury Department. A bylaw was passed authorizing the increase of assessments on the Brodie Municipal drain. Payment of more than $30,000 was approved for several township accounts. General accounts including a school debenture payment amounted to 813,642.12, drain accounts were 811,725.78 and road expenditures were listed at $5,519.32.

He was arrested in the main ring for failing to pay a parking ticket and was hauled off to jail. It was a lot of fun for everyone involved and Brady told his listeners Monday morning that Exeter had one of the best police forces around. The only complaint he had was that the back seat of the police cruiser was too hot for any prisoner. Winston Shapton is chairman of the rodeo committee that includes representation from most organizations in Exeter. Despite the record influx of drivers into the area over the busy Labor Day weekend, the accident total was relatively low. The local OPP detachment officers investigated only five crashes, four of them occurring over the o holiday period. The most serious occurred on Sunday at 3:40 p.m. at the junction of Highways 83 and 21, involving a car driven by William Fred Seltzer, Tavistock, and a motorcycle operated by John Dunbar, Windsor. Dunbar was proceeding onto Highway 83 from the ramp off Highway 21 and collided with the Okay furnace at Usborne A TWIN START - Tuesday was the first day of school for a pair of Usborne township twins, Barbara and Bradley Skinner, children of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Skinner are shown with teacher, Mrs. Lois 0 t tewell.

New season for Rebekahs - Continued from front page Wilhelm that planned additions to the nursing home at the corner of Sanders and Andrew were contrary to the zoning bylaws. The addition planned would have contravened the rear-yard setbacks. Mrs. Wilhelm explained the addition was planned to provide the required amount of space in the dining room for the male residents, and that it had to be constructed within 90 days so a permanent licence to operate the home could be secured. She was advised that it would probably take more than 90 days to proceed with the necessary amendments to permit the contraventions and there was no assurance that approval would be forthcoming at that time. Members suggested the home operators should consider adding to the north side of the building where there is ample room. Mayor Jack Delbridge said council would hold a special meeting to consider plans for such an addition to the north, so there would be no delays in having construction completed within the 90-day period. Mr. & Mrs. Lorne Johnston and Bob motored to Walkerton Sunday and visited with David Johnston. They went on to Hanover to visit Mr & Mrs. Douglas Braithwaite.

By VICTOR JEFFERY She's gone to school my Susan, So tiny just turned six; And Oh the house is empty, The clock how loud it ticks No laughter in the garden No swinging on the gate, Just quietness and order And a fire upon the grate. She's gone to school my Susan, In brand new pinafore; To learn the art of letters, And dip in ancient lore; She's eager for the future And she s sturdy for her size But Oh the heart is weary Before the head is wise. She's gone to school my Susan, So sweet and unafraid; Her toes in shiny slippers, Her brown hair in a braid And here, where she's been happy, A little prayer I say, God bless the host of Susans Who have gone to school today.
