One of the OFY information officers, Marilyn Lee, Toronto, however, quoted the youth grant as $7,350. She said she was not aware of the discrepancy. Mr. Flaxbard said he hopes some money comes in soon, because already the group has incurred some debts. Meanwhile, the program work continues, The objective is to compare the history of the area's industry, with its present state of economy, in order to predict and MRS.

In phase one, the group is studying written histories, pld newspapers, and interviewing older citizens in an attempt to piece together the history of the region, Phase two is somewhat more complicated. The group is developing a questionnaire to distribute, and will be working with the Department of Agriculture to make their assessment of the present state of industry. They are also studying several reports which have been conducted on Huron County, one of which suggests that the area should be mainly residential, Thus, the group hopes to con- centrate on the tourist industry, The outcome of the project will be a brief to the federal govern- ment, reporting on the resources of the area, and how they can be put to more advantageous use, "We hope to make suggestions on the types of industries, and on the development of resources for recreation purposes", said Mr. Flaxbard. In carrying out this third phase of the project, the group will be working with the Regional Development Office, Goderich. Part of the OFY contract states that the group must publish the results of the survey, for the public. Copies will go to local councils and community groups. "We have several objectives", said Mr. Flaxbard. "We want to find out how many people are employed, what use is being made of local resources, both human and raw materials, and what better use could be made." The group is not certain what area their study will encompass. "We will cover at least all of Hay township, but if we find we are going to have time, we may expand towards Exeter", said Mr. Flaxbard. Other group members are Sandra Webb, a Secretarial Science student at Fanshawe, Elaine Westlake, a Sociology and Music student at Waterloo Lutheran University, George Farwell, a second year Social Welfare student at Fanshawe, Carol Gingerich, and Nancy Rae McKinnon, high school students all from Zurich, and Joanne Geiser, Exeter, also a high school student. The first three will work for the full 16 weeks; Nancy and Carol will work about 10 weeks each; and Joanne will take over from George part-way through the summer. Toc Alpha — Continued from Front Page and change", with Linda Girard, Windsor, and "Sexuality", presented by the Vice-president of Toc Alpha, Pat Schell. Another event, set up to promote fellowship and self- awareness, was the sensory awareness sessions, conducted by Rev. Glen Wright, Exeter. The most popular event of the weekend though, according to Mike Ottewell, another local member of Toc Alpha, was the yoga workshop, directed by Becky Moses, London. In fact, it was so popular, that it was repeated three times. The group spent the whole weekend at SHDHS, even sleeping on the floors with sleeping-bags. All the girls slept in designated rooms upstairs, and all the boys downstairs, but a few of the chaperones fell asleep in halls, said Richard. The local branch of Toc Alpha has been formed for three years. "Because of the general lack of interest, we don't seem to do much except around conference time", said Richard, "but we are hoping not only to make our regional organization stronger but to establish strong regional organization throughout the province". The sports facilities at the former Canadian Forces Base at Clinton could become a provincial or national sports training camp. A meeting of interested sporting officials from Huron and Perth counties including high school students and athletic directors were told Sport Ontario is interested in the sports com- plex and has made a submission to the provincial government. Wayne Wittis of the Youth and Recreation branch of the Ontario government said "we are con- vinced there are good possibilities here. We need the — Continued from Front Page task, and when she didn't return in due time, he went to in- vestigate and found her making sandwiches for the two. They were ordered out and left, but later when Warkentin went to check the temperature in the refrigerators, he heard noises which led him to believe someone was trying to enter the premises. He could hear scratching on the door and then noticed a piece of plastic being worked up and down in the door. The police were called and the two were apprehended. Midway through the trial, defense lawyer K. MacLean, who was defending the pair, said that Brousseau had decided to change his plea to guilty. Brousseau admitted he was the one using the device to break into the hotel and said he was very intoxicated during the whole affair. The charge against LeRat was withdrawn, Fined $200 for assault An Exeter youth, Lawrence Foster, was fined $200 after being found guilty of common assault against another youth, John Mominersteeg. A counter-charge by Foster against Mommersteeg was dismissed, as was a charge laid by Mommersteeg against John Melville Campbell. The charges were laid by the youths following a fight at the Zurich arena. Mommersteeg reported he had County council — Continued fro„n Front Page responsible for 50 percent or $12,500 of the total cost," reported Ilugh Flynn, reeve of Ilullett and chairman of the committee of management of HurenView. In other business, council learned that it will be August or September before more details will be available on the matter of the future of the Huron County Jail, full support of local sportsmen showing the enthusiasm for local participation." Wittis went on to say it would be possible to create an athletic camp similar to the one now being operated at Lake Couchiching, The Clinton camp if established would likely stress mass participation instead of excellence, He went on to say Clinton has trememdous potential for all- round training camps. This could include in addition to sports, music, drama, arts and crafts. Sport Ontario is an been accosted by Foster in the washroom and evidence in- dicated the door was being held closed by Campbell. Arena manager Gordon Hays said he had to force his way into the washroom. In sentencing Foster, Judge Hays said it appeared to be a juvenile act in "picking a fight" with someone of smaller stature. Campbell said he didn't know he could be charged with assault when he didn't touch anyone and wasn't helping either Foster or Mommersteeg. The Judge said he was sure Campbell wasn't helping Mommersteeg, and in fact thought he may have been helping Foster by holding the door shut. Judge Hays said such action could be considered as aiding and abetting and if this was the case Charge cyclists; investigate crash Damages were limited to $300 in two accidents investigated this week by the Exeter police departmentreported with. no injuries being Friday vehicles driven by Dianne Karcher 740 Hipps Lane, London and R.

Bruce Brady, skating professional said the Clinton base would be central to more than 3,000 figure skaters. He added, "figure skating classes and in- struction could be carried on here all year round." Instructors only get about two weeks holidays per year." Also speaking and adding their support to a sports complex were Tom Orr of Stratford who was representing friends interested in establishing a hockey school and John Thompson of the Sundridge hockey school. Campbell could have been found guilty, However, Judge Hays said he felt it was a border-line case and dismissed the carge against Campbell. District girl wins contest A grade eight student at JAI) McCurdy public school at Huron Park was one of the top winners in the 12th annual forest fire poster contest sponsored by the Ontario Forestry Association. Karen DeJong, aged 13 '0`of Centralia , submitted the best poster in the south-west area of Ontario and she receives a ribbon and a book. In addition Karen's poster has been entered in the National Fire Prevention Poster competition. It will compete against entries from the other provinces and territories, During a special assembly at McCurdy school Tuesday mor-. ning, Karen received her prizes from principal Bill Linfield and teacher Mrs. Elmer Powe. Karen is the daughter of Mrs. Klara and the late Peter DeJong. Shotgun peppers area mailboxes Two mailboxes in Osborne Township were shot up during the past week, Police report the damage appeared to have been done by a shotgun blast. The two were owned by George Sereda, RR, 1 Centralia, and Jim Miller, RR 1 Woodham. An entry was made into one of the showrooms of Hughes Boat Works at Iliffen Park over the weekend. The showrooms are in the former churches at the in- dustrial park. (Inc was entered, but nothing was taken, while entry was unsuccessful at the other building. Word was received last week that the Ontario Municipal Board has provisionally approved the plan of subdivision for the former Canadian Forces Base Clinton, The approval was received by Radoma Investments on Wed- nesday after their planners, had been told of the approval by the government body. The plan must still be approved by the township and the county before it will become official. Approval of the plan of sub- division was a major stumbling block in the way of developing the Base as a residential-industrial- educational complex. Although no factories have yet located in the complex because of this problem, the base is springing back to life after a long, cold winter. Many of the houses in the housing section are now occupied. The grass is cut around most and many have been painted by the new owners who, according to one observer, are taking an unusual amount of pride in their new homes. Houses have been selling briskly at prices ranging upward from $9500. In one day alone, last week, six deals were closed on houses. One of the big drawing cards is the mortgage arrangements made on the houses. Calls of interested parties have been received from London and Kit- chener as well as the more local area. Apartments have also been renting at a brisk rate in the row- housing type buildings. Facilities for the growing population are also being set up.

Writes feature on Exeter police Ernest Hillen, a writer with Weekend Magazine has been in Exeter this week preparing a feature on the local police department, 14e said the story about Chief Ted Day and his three-man staff should appear in about eight to nine weeks. The Toronto Globe & Mail carries the Weekend sup- plement. Hillen said the article was primarily a "mood piece", which will inform readers of the work of a police department in a small Ontario community. Exeter was chosen after he had ft, contacted the London Police Department to see who they would recommend in this area. Chief Day and Constable A. McIntyre are former members of that department. Hillen said this provided the • two with an opportunity to compare police work in a major city and a small town. The story will also contain some information about the community as well.
