Wuerch had no major problem at the present, but suggested there would be some day unless steps were taken to change people's thinking. That a problem may arise in the future was suggested earlier in the meeting when Mrs. Gordon MacDonald appeared before pound! with her son, Denis, to ask for an increase in the price they now receive for garbage pickup, Her main reason for asking for the increase was the large increase in the amount of garbage being taken weekly to the local dump. She said when they started the garbage collection in Exeter a few years ago, there were about three loads per week. Now they get from two to two and a half loads from the west side of town alone and one local industry has almost another load by itself. "The amount of work has almost doubled since we started," she said. Mrs. MacDonald told council that she required about $1,200 per month to keep providing the Grand Bend — Continued from front page discussions with the' Ontario Waste Management branch on the future of the Grand Bend dump, ' Jackson said inspector Childs of the provincial body had given an OK for the time being on operation of the village dump. Plans are underway to create combined dumping grounds in the area. For the time being, all refuse will be covered with sand and burning will not be carried out. Clerk Gladys Crumplin was instructed to take the necessary steps to start collection of tax arrears from 1969 and further back. Council agreed with a suggestion from the Lambton County library board that the Grand Bend library be moved to new quarters on the lower floor of the Grand Bend public school. Present plans, being considered jointly by the library board and the Lambton County board of education would provide a room 24 x 40 that would allow the storing of more than 3,000 books. Reeve John Payne said there had been a tremendous increase in library activities in Brigden after, a similar move was made to the public school. EXETER UNITED CHURCH Exeter, Ontario Minister: Rev.

The present charge is $875. "I've lost one good man (her son, penis) because I couldn't pay enough," she said. Council decided to turn the matter over to the sanitation committee. During their visit with council, Mrs. MacDonald and her son registered some complaints over the manner in which some people were putting out garbage. Denis said some residents were using 35-gallon oil drums and they were just too much for the men to lift up to the truck to empty. After other complaints were aired, council members suggested they should examine the bylaws and advise ratepayers there were regulations covering the types of containers for garbage. Mayor Jack Delbridge said it may be hard to enforce the regulations. However, Councillor Shaw doubted it, He said it would be a matter of not picking up offenders' garbage for a week or two and they would quickly change. Members of council also expressed complete satisfaction over the garbage pickup service being provided by Mrs. MacDonald. Mayor upset During the discussion about garbage pickup rates, Mayor Jack Delbridge asked Mrs. MacDonald if she had been talking with K, A. Childs, the official from the department of energy and resources who has been leading discussions in this area about a regional dump. "Yes," she said, adding that the increase she was seeking was only half of what he had suggested. Mayor Delbridge was critical of the fact Childs had been suggesting rates, although the Mayor was among those who suggested the pickup rate would have to be increased. "Someone has to tell him (Childs) to mind his own business," the Mayor stated, adding quickly that he may undertake that particular task himself. Road plans at Stephen A good portion of business finalized by Stephen township council meeting in regular session Tuesday night concerned this year's road program Clerk Wilmar Wein was instructed to call tenders for the hauling and spreading of 20,000 cubic yards of gravel that is stockpiled at Sillery's Pit in Usborne township. Wein will also be calling tenders for custom warble fly spraying and calling prices on warble fly powder. ' Approval was given to the regular road expenditure bylaw authorizing the municipality to spend up to $127,100 on road construction and maintenance. The figure provided by the Ontario Department of Highways was a decrease of $7,900 from 1970. B. M. Ross Associates of Goderich will be asked to prepare plans and a design for two culverts. The culvert locations are at Lot 11 Con. 16 and 17 and Lot 10, Concession 18 and 19. Each culvert completely installed is expected to cost about $6,000. A resolution was passed approving two tax collection payments from township ratepayers in 1971. The tax due dates will be June 30 and December 15, the same as last year. Township farmers are being asked to refrain from dumping and pushing snow on roads. Road Superintendent Frank Mcisaac told council this practice of pushing snow on the roads can create a real problem for traffic. Pair fined $50 for tractor ride Two area men were each fined 4;50 as a result of a charge laid by Exeter police following a Hallowe'en incident. They appeared before Judge Glenn Hays in Goderich on Feb. 11. James Frederick Wood, Exeter, and George Leroy Bieber, Cre'diton, paid the fine after being found guilty of a charge of mischief and causing damage to a tractor owned by Exeter Produce and Storage Co. The pair drove the tractor across a field in the vicinity of the produce plant and it mounted a PUC pole just east of the CNIt crossing on Highway 83. They were also charged with the theft of the tractor, but this was dismissed. WoOd and Bieber were found guilty of mischief and damage to the PUC pole but sentence was delayed on that charge until March 9. The pair were given time to pay the $50 fines.

Tow truck involved A student at SHDHS received injuries in one of the crashes on Highway 4 Wednesday when her car was involved with a tow truck from Charlie's Auto Sales, Exeter. The car was driven by Julia Burgess, RR 2 Bayfield, and the tow truck was being operated by Raymond Playfoot, Exeter. He had been attempting to remove a car stranded in the storm when the mishap occurred. Visibility was nil at the time. On Saturday, a Sterling Fuels truck from London jackknifed on the road at the intersection of Highway 4 and the Crediton Road and sustained damage c4 $700. Driver of the truck was Lorne Smith, Port Stanley. Damage of $1,000 was estimated in a crash Tuesday involving John Huether, Zurich, His car hit the soft shoulder on Highway 84 and rolled end over end. He was not injured. Three hurt Three snowmobile operators were injured in accidents during the past week. A Centralia woman, Mrs. Olive Essery was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital, London, early Saturday evening following a truck, snowmobile collision on the Usborne-Biddulph townline. Mrs. Essery sustained a broken arm and rib injuries when her machine and a truck driven by Judson Dykeman, RR 1 Centralia, collided. Damage was listed at $725 by Constable Don Mason. Two snowmo biters were injured when their machines Mrs. James Hardy, 30, who refused blood transfusons after being seriously hurt in a car accident near Sarnia Dec. 13, has returned to her Huron Park home less than nine weeks after being admitted to hospital. Mrs, Hardy, one of Jehovah's Witnesses, left *London's Victoria Hospital last Friday, Feb. 12, She was transferred from Sarnia General Hospital to the London hospital Jan. 6 for operations on her broken jaw. Her husband said that when his wife was first admitted to the Sarnia Hospital, a doctor told him Mrs. Hardy would die it' she did riot receive transfusions, "The doctor, said Donna was going to die," Mr. Hardy said, "I said 'No, she's not.' " Mr. Hardy said three doctors told him later that if his wife had received transfusions, those likely would have killed her. lie said his wife had "a bruise on her brain" which would riot have been able to withstand the pressure from blood being transfused into her system. "I'm just fine, and I. didn't, die," Mrs. Hardy said later at her home. Referring ,,to news reports that described her condition as Critical according to doctors, Mr. ,Hardy said:, "She was never in as bad condition as the paper said." Mr. Hardy said his wife was walking around two weeks after the ateident, although reports continued to say she was in critical condition. Mr. and Mrs. Hardy were passengers in a ear involved it collided at the Kirkton- Woodham carnival Sunday morning. Harry Black, St. Marys, sustained a deep cut on his leg, while Barry Armstrong, also of St. Marys, had a lacerated forehead and eyelid. Damage to their machines was set at $400. They were preparing for races at the carnival. Correction In last week's accident report, one was incorrect. It indicated that a car driven by Hazel Wallis!, RR 1 Granton, had collided with a parked truck on County Road 21 on Friday. Actually, the vehicle operated by the Granton area lady was parked and had been struck by the truck. Damage was $100. We apologize for the error. Two mishaps in Exeter Two accidents were investigated during the past week by officers of the Exeter police department, The first occurred early Friday evening and involved vehicles driven by Mildred McDowell, RR 2, Centralia and Harold Westlake, 89 William Street. Constable McIntyre estimated damages of $500 in the crash at the intersection of Main and John Streets. The second mishap took place at 8:40, Monday evening on Main Street, just north of James Street. Constable McIntyre was again the investigating officer and estimated damages at $375. the accident in which Mrs. Hardy suffered a ruptured spleen, which was removed to stop hemorrhaging; bruised lung, head injuries, fractured ribs and broken jaw. Doctors said she lost between seven and eight pints of blood, two-thirds of her body's supply. The Hardys are both Jehovah's Witnesses, who believe transfusions are contrary to the Bible's injunctions to abstain from blood, and medically dangerous, Mr. Hardy said he was under great pressure from relatives who are not Jehovah's Witnesses, and others, who tried to persuade him to authorize transfusions for his wife, Commented Mrs. Hardy: "I am very proud of Jim's stand for the faith." Search for Usborne mart All members of the Exeter OPP detachment were involved in a search for an Osborne Township farmer, Monday, Sylvester Grimtninck, RR 1 Centralia, reported he had been unable to reach his brother, Fred, and feared he May have been injured or become ill while taking a walk over his farm. Four of the local officers used their snowmobiles in the search, which was called off ' pact' Mr, Grimmirick was located in the Lunn area with relatives. — Continued from front page and were invited to join the parade accompanying Mr. Davis Maple Leaf Gardens. from the Westbury Hotel to "I gather that, essentially, it was a coincidence that the students contacted the Davis group first since some of the reports suggest that they would have been happy to participate in demonstrations for any of the candidates because of their natural desire to become involved in the excitement." The Huron MP? said he felt very strongly that, whatever their involvement in particular campaigns, the attendance of the students at the convention was an excellent educational exercise in that the students saw the workings of democracy at first hand. ,I know this was your intention in arranging the trip and I trust that the majority of students, parents, teachers and others recognize this fundamental benefit," the Provincial Treasurer said in concluding his letter to Mr. Wooden. Mr. McKinley was the victim of a scathing article in Saturday's Toronto Telegram penned by Dalton Camp, the man who helped oust PC chief John Diefenbaker. Camp reported that McKinley had called three times from Ottawa in an effort to determine who Camp was supporting in the Ontario leadership race and finally got the information out of Camp's young daughter. McKinley denied that he misrepresented himself to Camp's daughter. He told the T-A he told her exactly who he was and the girl supplied the answer quickly as to which candidate her father was backing. McKinley said he was trying to determine who Camp was supporting because sonic federal members of the PC party wanted to know. The Huron MP gave no reason why the members were so interested in Camp's position. The Huron member said that some people have told him that he had grounds for legal action because of the story written by Camp, but indicated he wouldn't take any. "I wouldn't give him that satisfaction," McKinley Some of the comments made stated. om by Camp in his article were as follows: Which brings me to the point of the narrative. Some of my best friends voted for Bill Davis, and for good reason. But I know a man who voted for him because, with a deviousness I can only describe as total, he wrung from a child the erroneous confession that I was supporting Allan Lawrence. Do you know anyone named McKinley? I don't, although there was, memory tells me, an American president by the same name, and he came to an unhappy end. But there is another who, for reasons which are now inexplicable, is the Member of Parliament for Huron, and a reason, I must add, for reducing members' salaries and not for increasing them. Mr. McKinley is a stranger to me; I would not know him were we trapped together in a revolving door, But Huron claims him and, may I say, they may keep him. Last week, Mr. McKinley telephoned my home, not once but thrice, from the Parliament of yours. Canada, at my expense and at Money is no expense to a Member from Huron, bent upon the nation's business, and his duty as he sees it. His constituents may carefully note how their member spends his idle hours, devoted to their service, dedicated to the public weal. On his third attempt, the Member for Huron secured the ear of my Youngest daughter, a natural, carefree, innocent child — indifferent to politics, fond of the guitar, horses, and Robert Reidford, The Member for Huron presented himself as a friend of the young lady's father a close friend, he said, which considering the fact that he was indeed a' total stranger Was something of an exaggeration, even from a politician. But Huron may have a special breed,: for all I know. Since the father is not home, he said beguilingly — his good, close, personal friend — perhaps the daughter could tell him which of the Tory candidates he was supporting in the , Tory leadership race? Well, the daughter would not know. We do not talk politics much around the house these days, filling the silence with Music and laughter and more congenial subjects. Would the father, suggested the Member for Huron, be in favor of Allan Lawrence? The daughter, unschooled in yahoo politics, thought it a fair question. She knew her uncle, Norman Atkins, to be up to his eyebrows in the Lawrence campaign. The logic of the suggestion appealed. Yes, she said, she thought that might be the case. Thus released from the bonds of indecision, the Member for Huron hastened to the side of William Davis, inspired not at all by his qualities for leadership, but by the fact that a certain ex-officio delegate was not in his favor. Such is the politics Of Huron County, or parts of it — at least until the next election. Soon after, the father consulted with the daughter. Any calls? Oh yes, she said, including one from a close friend in Ottawa. And was the father, she asked hopefully, supporting Allan Lawrence? After the suitable answer, there were tears of remorse — the simple confusion of a child caught up in the mysteries of the stratagems of the Tory Member for Huron. Open house at Centralia Visitors to this week's Open House at Centralia's College of Agricultural Technology will be treated to a variety of demonstrations, shows and displays.

Say what you will, one does not invade the privacy of the household to baraaa the young without retaliation. ..So saying, the father nursed his a nger and awaited his opportunity, There was, hOWever, a difficulty — the daeghter could not remember the name of the caller. But soon after, he by chance met a press man, a reliable oracle, who told him, puzglement in his voice, of a conversation with the Member for Huron, who had proclaimed. that his support of Bill Davis. Was the product of his cleverness in unearthing the fact that Dalton Camp was voting for Allan Lawrence. The rest, as they say, is histroy. But there was the convention, and the fact that Bill Davis won it, without my support, but borne aloft by the blessed confidence of the Member for Huron. To study cost of sewer work Exeter council this week gave permission to the drains committee to do a feasibility study to determine the cost of completing the storm arid sanitary work in the community and the period over which the work should be undertaken. The suggestion for the study was made by Councillor Ken Ottewell, who had previously questioned the possibility of completing the sewers as one project, Council learned at that time the cost for sanitary sewers would be about $500,000 and the same for storm drains. A grant of 50 percent would be paid on the latter by the department of highways. He pointed out that he was not arguing one way or the other what was best, all he wanted to know what was feasible. Councillor Tom MacMillan argued that council should consider a study of the entire situation they faced; such as the need for a new fire hall, town hall, equipment, etc., etc. He indicated te priorities should be decided so council could see what they could afford on any one program. Reeve Derry Boyle wanted to know who was going to do the drains study. He said every time he hears about a feasibility study, it costs money. Ottewell replied that the drains committee would • undertake the study without the help of paid professionals. Students attend Quebec carnival Twenty-seven SHDHS students accompanied by two teachers, Rae Wild and Damion Soloman made a five day trip to Montreal and Quebec City last week. While in Montreal the students had the opportunity of visiting the English speaking 4icbelieu High School which has a student population of 14,000. They were also billeted in French and English speaking homes for one night. Touring on to Quebec City they enjoyed the 'espirit du carnival' of the famous annual winter event there. Next week's edition will carry a full report of the students' activities.
