One business man was heard to complain that he had too many customers for the amount of clerks on duty. Board of Trade president Bob Fletcher told the T-A, Tuesday night, "I would like to send my personal thanks to the parade committee for a terrific job. Chairman Bill Gilfillan did a fantastic job, Also thanks to Bill Batten and Ray Wuerth, other members of the committee," Fletcher went on to say, "Gilfillan was an eternal optimist and never gave up planning despite the terrible weather of Friday.

High Ideal is shown above with Andy Hardy in the sulky setting the track record at Western Fair Raceway, June 26 of this year. Mobile homes Ellerington pacer sold or half million. dollars The world's first Voyageur heavy haul air cushion vehicle has been completed and began operational trials at the Bell Aerospace Canada Division of Textron Canada Ltd, plant at Grand Bend, Saturday. Tests with the 40-gross-ton vehicle are being held at the site of the company's 30,000 square foot assembly facility, Additional testing will be conducted on nearby Lake Huron. The vehicle skimmed over a plowed ground field Saturday during two open house sessions. William M, Smith, Vice- president for Bell Aerospace Canada, said the craft's flexible skirt was being trimmed and modified through operations over a specially-constructed ob- servation pit. Tethered at four anchor points, the vehicle is brought up on cushion over the pit to allow engineers to observe the internal members of the skirt system. "It's something like a final fitting at the tailor," said Smith, Other tests — over land as well as water — include payload- hauling up to the maximum 25 tons, turns, speed checks up to the maximum of about 60 miles sander hour, compass in- trument calibration, Chairman William Amos and all committee chairmen of the Ausable River Conservation Authority had their terms of office extended for another year, Wednesday. Amos, representative of McGillivray township will serve as chairman for the fourth consecutive term, Normally the authority chairman serves three years and committees are changed annually. John Stephen of Blanshard township speaking for the executive committee gave two reasons for extending the terms of office. He said Mr. Amos had recently been named to the provincial conservation chairmen's association and should be left to continue in that office. In addition, he explained, it was felt that with nine municipalities from the Bayfield River watershed joining ARCA Jan. 1 it was necessary to have experienced committee chair- men. Representatives from Bayfield are to be placed on various committees, but none will be a chairman. There was some opposition to the move and 45 minutes was spent in discussion before ap- proval was finally given by a The most important change in the second craft will be its power. Voyageur No. 1 is powered by two LM100 marine gas turbine engines which deliver 1,150 shaft horsepower per engine. Voyageur No, 2 will be powered by two Twin-Pac ST. 6 units built by United Aircraft of Canada/Pratt and Whitney. The ST 6 units deliver a maximum of 1,700 shaft horsepower each. Chief test operator for the Voyageur program is Jacques Robitaille, a resident of Grand Bend who has a wide range of experience as an ACV operator. In 1967, Robitaille served as operator for one of two SRN-6 air cushion vehicles that were Operated to transport visitors at Expo '67 in Montreal, Early this year he operated an SK-5 at Point Barrow, Alaska, Voyageur is basically a cargo craft unlike many of its predecessor air cushion vehicles. Requiring a basic two-man crew, the vehicle can perform a number of operations with its 641/2 by 331/2 foot flat deck, It was designed and developed by sell to fulfill a worldwide ne6d for such a craft, Puture versions will be modified for such service as a passenger cabin for up to 140 Horseback riders will also be banned unless they have permits from the secretary-treasurer. Similarly dogs, cats and other pets must be kept under restraint. In order to avoid planned or impromptu rock concerts and other such gatherings, one section says that no person may conduct a public meeting or perform any act that will cause people to congregate in a con- servation area. The ARCA has jurisdiction over two parks in the Exeter area, Riverview and Morrison Dam, the Parkhill Dam and adjacent camping and adjacent camping and conservation area, Rock Glen park at Arkona, the Thedford conservation area and a section at Port Franks, the 2,000-acre Hay Swamp reforestation area, and the Lucan conservation area. A penalty of up to $100 for breaking any of the regulations is proposed. „r: Speed limits are to be 20 m.p.h. in the parks and areas. Camping is to be restricted to designated areas and banned anywhere else, Snowmobiling will be restricted to roadways and certain areas designated. Authority chairman returned for fourth term in office 4., TRIAL RUN FOR HOVERCRAFT -- Saturday was open house at the Bell Aerospace plant at Grand Bend. Area residents were able to have a look at the 40 ton hovercraft vehicle that skims over ground, 64 water, ice, snow, tundra, etc. Above, some of the employees take a first hand look at the vehicle. Hovercraft test run is highly successful 10. PIZZA PIES Constable Ardell McIntyre was the investigating officer. Thursday afternoon at 2:20 p.m. vehicles driven by William Browne, RR 3, Exeter and John McCann, RR 3 Ailsa Craig were in Collision at the Main and Sanders intersection. Only ten minutes later damages of $120 resulted when vehicles driven by Gary Dietz, RR 3 Kippen, and Elaine Gould, RR 1 Exeter, collided on Main street, north of Sanders, Constable George Robertson listed minor damage at $60, Thursday continued to be a busy day for police officers. Shortly before five o'clock, Bonnie Becker, of the Dashwood area reported that her car had been struck by an unknown vehicle while it was parked on Wellington street, near Main at about eight o'clock in the mor- ning. Sunday afternoon while at- tending the Exeter Hawks hockey game at the arena, 10 year-old Michael Horn was struck by a hockey stick and suffered slight injury to. his left eye, He was taken to South Huron hospital for treatment. hand vote, Some members wanted a secret ballot on the issue. A series of regulations for controlling the parks and con- servation areas of the Authority were approved in draft form, Chairman Amos explained that the development of more recreational and conservation areas by the authority has created a need for the rules. He said that up until now the authority had no specific regulations applying to areas under its control. The regulations, which now go to the province's conservation branch and eventually to the cabinet for approval, will prohibit hunting (except by permit), use of fireworks, and the removal of fossils or any other object from a conservation area for any commercial purpose." Mr, Amos explained that the ban on fossil, removal was in- tended to protect the Rock Glen fossil beds from being collected by people who use them to make key chains and other tourist items. It will not prevent a visitor or fossil hunter taking samples, he said. No motor boats are to be permitted in the Morrison Dam or Parkhill conservation areas. Voyageur No, 1 has been under development since early this year. Bell Aerospace Canada opened the Grand Bend facility in January 1971 and began development and production operations a short time later. At present, more than 70 em- ployees are involved in the Voyageur effort. Under a cost- sharing program for Advan- cement of Industrial Technology agreement with the Canadian Department of Industry, Trade and Commerce, Bell Canada is developing and producing two proto-type Voyageurs, Smith said the number of employees could rise to 120 by the end of 1972, Worldwide applications are foreseen for the Voyageur — which is built up of simple box- like aluminum modules and can be adapted to many tran- sportation and cargo-hauling roles, Applications are being considered from arctic to tropical regions of the world, Voyageur No. 2 will be com- pleted in early March * about the time Voyageur No, 1 is fully tested, A Similar test program will then be conducted with the Second craft, which will be dif- ferent in several ways from Voyageur No, 1, the plan at the time official notice is made to amend the zoning bylaw. He also reported the Ontario Municipal Board scrutinizes applications for mobile home parks very carefully and in Stratford the OMB had turned down an application even after council and the developer had agreed to terms. One of the concepts contained in the plan submitted by Davidson drew criticism from Veri, It called for almost an acre of land to be set aside near the George St. entrance to the mobile homes park, Veri said he thought this was too much. However, Davidson replied that it would make a more at- tractive entrance and provide visual amenities to the existing lots. He said the area could be built up to provide hills. Nicholas Hill, an architect with the county planning department, complained about the "monotony of the plan" being proposed by Veri for the mobile homes park. "I'm not very impressed with the plan," he said, explaining it appeared to be a matter of "filling the area with mobile homes" rather than planning an attractive setup. He said this was one reason why people have objections against mobile home parks. Veri replied he had con- sidered five plans and the present one best suited the area. He cited the problem of getting sewers and other services to the lots with a more abstract type of layout which Hill had apparently been suggesting. The matter of playground area in the development was men- tioned by Aunger, who said he thought there should be some provision for more playground area in the third stage of development at the south end. Veri replied that this area was adjacent to the Lions park at Riverview Park and he didn't see any need for establishing an additional playground zone in that section. The matter of the agreement to be made between the developer and council was mentioned by T- A editor Bill Batten. He said it would possibly be advantageous to have the details known before the residents had to decide on whether they would approve a mobile homes park through the rezoning. He was advised the agreement would not he drawn until after the rezoning had been settled. George Dobbs then asked if the agreement would be binding on the property for future owners if in fact Veri should sell the park after starting its development. Mayor Delbridge assured him the agreement would remain binding on the property even if it changed hands, persons, to roll-on, roll-off ferry duty in addition to freight hauling. The operator's cabin, located above the two turbine engines, provides all-around visibility and a full view of the cargo deck. Voyageur is made of eight deck modules and two power modules. These units can be shipped by rail, truck or air for reassembly at a job site. Propulsion is through two variable pitch, nine-foot- diameter propellers, The Voyageur's engines also turn lift fans that force air down through the craft's side hulls into the four- foot-high flexible skirts. Because of this air cushion, the hovercraft are able to operate over such difficult and varied Surfaces as ice, snow, water, tundra, mud or sand, Tests have shown that the fraction of a pound per square inch of air pressure under a hovercraft does not significantly affect any ecology. lAFF -A • DAY The fastest pacer ever owned by a Canadian has been sold and an Exeter area racing enthusiast is a half million dollars richer. Saturday, Bill Ellerington sold his prize stallion, High. Ideal to Almahurst Farms of Lexington, Kentucky for stud purposes. High Ideal, an $18,000 purchase as a yearling from the Lexington sales is the son of Brett Hanover and is ranked fifth in North America in the three-year-old division, In addition High Ideal holds two track records and has a time trial record of 1.55. The track records are 2.00 1/ 5 for three-year-old pacers at Batavia and Western Fair Raceway's best mark of 2.01 4/ 5 for any aged horse set on June 26 of this year, Ellerington told the T-A Tuesday night "I didn't want to sell him, but the offer was too good to turn down." The $500,000 will be paid in six equal yearly installments with the first payment coming this week when the horse is delivered. In addition Ellerington will be allowed to send six mares to High Ideal each year for the next six years and four each year thereafter until the stallion reaches the age of 20, In two years of racing for Ellerington, High Ideal has Accidents — Continued from front page a car driven by Ronald Hartman, Exeter, collided with a telephone pole at the intersection. Con- stable Wilcox set damage at $500. The other two accidents hap- pened Wednesday. A car driven by Mary Murray, RR 3 Zurich, collided with a telephone pole on Concession 12 Hay, north of Dashwood. Damage was estimated at $650 by Constable Glassford, who also investigated the other crash, It involved cars owned by Richard Parker, Hensall, and Robert Merner, Zurich, and occurred at the Hensall arena parking lot. Damage was $200. During the week the officers charged 17 persons under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another 18 drivers. There was one charge under the Liquor Control Act, earned a total of $159,000 and won his last six starts, three of them at Windsor. He was paraded between races at the border city track, Sunday as a farewell gesture. Negotiations on the sale started only a week ago Sunday and were completed late last week when Ellerington and his trainer Russ — Continued from front page in a back field," he stated. A fine of $100 was levied against Michael K. Pickering, Dashwood, charged on November 5 following an ac- cident. He was said to be passing another car when he lost control of his own and struck several posts and poles, Defense lawyer P. L. Raymond, in defense of Pickering, said he was not at- tempting to pass, but was going too fast to stop and took evasive action to avoid an accident. The other two persons charged with careless driving said they had fallen asleep. Thomas E. Gower, Wingham, fell asleep on Highway 4 on November 10, while Donald G. Jones, Centralia, fell asleep on Highway 83. In handing out the $100 fines, Judge Hays remarked that to fall asleep was as much of a menace as driving while impaired. Didn't save An attempt to save money ended up costing a Zurich man a considerable sum. Gordon Charles Bleck was charged with operating a car and using a license plate issued to another vehicle, and also for failing to produce proof of in- surance. He was fined $50 and costs of $3 on each of the two charges. The court learned he had two cars and changed the plates from one to the other trying to save money.
