It is bordered by Goderich Street (No. 8 Highway) on the north, Coleman Street on the west and Gouinlock Street on the south. The price is $40,000 with closing date on July 31. John Lane, business ad- ministrator, revealed that a saving of $4,196.20 would be made by the board if the 45 municipalities paying it school levies were to pay them in four instalments each year.

The study of the tax levies was authorized at a board meeting two weeks ago when a Stratford trustee questioned his city paying its levy in four instalments. However, the business ad- ministrator, who was absent from that meeting, assured board members that Stratford paid its tax levy twice yearly eventhough taxes were collected four times yearly. Trustee Joseph Looby, Dublin, stated "I think we should get a report on the feeling of the public school board, Jack McCann, Ailsa Craig, vice chairman of the board, who presided for the meeting, suggested the matter be left over for another meeting after trustee Ted Geoffrey, Zurich, offered to contact Charles Rau of Zurich, the separate school represen- tative of the Huron County Board of Education, and trustee Chris Walraven, St. Mary's offered to contact Leonard ,Feeney, Stratford, separate school representative on the Perth County Board of Education to get the feelings of those public school boards, At present both public school boards accept the school levies in two yearly payments.

Goodwin, attempted to get Parsons to agree that in fact his testimony was a matter of reconstructing the accident, rather than actually remem- bering his actions. The area man stuck to his story that he remembered doing the things he mentioned regarding his signalling and pointed out you don't often forget accidents. Goodwin said the witness had a remarkable memory and then asked Parsons how long he had been working for the department of transportation and com- munication as a snowplow operator. Parsons said he started to work for the department eight years ago and hesitated only momentarily before giving the lawyer the exact date on which he had commenced his duties. In his testimony, Koop said he didn't see the Parsons turn signal until he was about to pass and he then swung to the right. He agreed Parsons had not started to make a turning move. Crown Attorney Cochrane pointed out that Koop had 'gambled and lost' in his decision to pull back to the right and had not been keeping a proper lookout, Judge Hays termed Parsons a most convincing witness and said the fact that Koop's comment about being drowsy had not be contradicted was one of the keys to the case. He fined Koop $100 and gave him two months to pay. . In other cases: Brian Chappel, R.R. 1 Cromarty, was fined $30 for having liquor in a place other than his residence. John Gielen, Crediton, paid $20 for operating a motorcycle on which there was no license. Lawrence J.

George Busche, campaign chairman for the sponsoring Exeter Lions club said Tuesday morning "the local funds now stands at $1,400. Our goal is $2,300." Busche went on to say, "We can see the $1,400 doing a great deal of good and it is deeply ap- preciated — but — it will do only about two-thirds of the job." "The local committee sincerely hopes the district will rally to the cause as it has always done and push the fund over the top." The campaign chairman continued, "Easter Is close at hand. Please enter into the art of bringing hope to unfortunate children who need you so badly. Don't forget them. Let them "see and feel what your dollars can do," Any persons without an Easter Seal envelope may leave their donations at Gunn's Hardware, "It is important to teach them some social skills as well," she emphasized.
