T-A photo Badminton, wrestling groups receive support from RAP Two new clubs came under the umbrella of Exeter RAP com- mittee on Monday night. Doug Ellison approached the set" with a plan to set 'up a wrestling club for young' Men the area and. Mrs. Mary Ann Topp presented a suggestion for a women's badminton club to be held mornings in the arena gym. Mrs. Topp indicated that she had talked to ten or fifteen women who were interested in getting together in the mornings to play badminton for exercise and was requesting the use of the arena gym. McKinlay supported the proposal saying that "My feeling is, if the use of the facility is not going to cause extra work for clean-up staff or a conflict of interest with other groups booked," then RAP should support it. McKinlay said that it was basically "an opportunity to get out and socialize," and recom- mended that RAP mark off a court and provide a net for the ladies. Mrs. Topp said that the ladies could likely chip in a dollar or so to buy the necessary raquets, Derry Boyle said that the building is not in use in the mornings and that it would not require too much to heat the gym for a few hours since the ladies wouldn't want it too hot anyway. RAP passed a motion to grant the use of the gym to the ladies for badminton and authorized them to advertise for more participants through McKinlay's office. The second delegation of the evening was from Doug Ellison, asking for support of the com- mittee for a wrestling club for young men in the area. Doug said that he has been trying for several years to promote a wrestling club outside the high school, for senior boys who`are no longer students. Ron Bogart, head of physical 'education for the high school said that the additional use on the school wrestling and tumbling mats would result in too much wear and tear on the expensive equipment. Doug has also encountered problems in trying to set up a program of wrestling for public school age boys. He said that the principals are afraid that it will turn out "like the wrestling on Saturday night TV" and most public schools are not equipped with mats. Doug said that he has been in contact with 20-25 former students who are interested in continuing their interest in wrestling and has called a meeting for approximately two weeks from now. He asked RAP's support for free use of the arena floor and gym for a $10 stag and raffle to be held in April to raise the funds necessary to purchase a wrestling mat. Doug said that the cost of proper mat, 40 feet by 40 feet Would be $5,000/. He said that Ron Bogart had indicated he would be willing to budget for part of the cost of the mat for school equipment if the club could raise the rest:Doug pointed out that the mat would be available for use by the gym- nastics club, the judo club and the school athletic activities and would be stored and repaired by the school. Slippery area roads contribute to crashes Winter returned to the area Tuesday and contributed to two accidents. At 12:30 a.m., a car driven by Catherine Hama ther, Zurich, skidded out of control after the driver had to apply the brakes on the slippery road. She had been eastbound on the Crediton Road near County Road 2 and ended up going through a fence owned by Ross Pickering, RR 3 Dashwood. OPP Constable Bill Osterloo set damage to the car at $150 and $75 to the fence. At 12:40 p.m., Tuesday, vehicles driven by Carmen Roeszler, Crediton, and Mel Gaiser, Exeter, collided at the intersection of Highway 83 and the Goshen line. Both vehicles had been west- bound and the truck Roeszlcr was driving was making a right turn when Gaiser skidded into it as he applied his brakes to stop behind the tank truck. Constable Osterloo in- vestigated and listed total damage at $1,500, The other two accidents of the week occurred on Friday, the first at 4:35 p.m., when vehicles driven by Glen Nixon, Hensall, and Joan Imanse, RR 1 Varna, collided at the intersection of King and Nelson Streets in Hen- sail. Damage was set at $300 by Constable Bill Lewis, Less than half an hour later, cars driven by Richard Munn, Huron Park, and Michael Cronyn, RR 2 Lucan, collided at the corner of Richmond and Vic- toria Streets in Centralia. Damage in that one was es- timated at $600 by Constable Don Mason. During the week, the local detachment officers charged 11 people under the Highway Traf- fic Act and issued warnings to another 19. There were five charges under the Liquor Control Act and four under the Criminal Code.

TICKETS $25.00 EACH ALL PROCEEDS TO AID CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S WORK Tax deductible receipts available During their inaugural meeting Stephen township coun- cil endorsed a resolution from the County of Grey asking for sub- sidization of farm labour. The Grey resolution suggests the lack of labour force is corn- pelling farmers to greatly reduce or cease farm operations due to prices affecting production thus causing serious concern. It continues, "the number of dairy farmers is reducing at an alarming rate causing a shortage of milk which may lead to milk product rationing. It is not the intention of this resolution to include farmers' sons or daughters or other members of a farm family as be- ing eligible for assistance but there must be some incentive economically or otherwise to re- tain farm oriented youth in the business of agriculture so that food production will not reduce but increase to feed the world populace, The brief asks the Ontario government to provide a 50 per- cent subsidy for farmers who hire help in their farm operations. so they will be in a position to pay wages that will attract competent help to the farming industry. Lorne Dietrich and councillor Allan Walper were named to the Farm Drain Association and Dietrich will also be the drainage and warble fly inspector and Senior projects - Continued from front page called in the hall to discuss the possibilities of a New Horizns grant for an arts and crafts program but McKinlay said "no one particular group wanted to get involved." Therefore, a caretaker executive was formed to expedite applications for the grant for a group now known as the Well-Come Inn. "We are now faced with the problems Bruce expressed," McKinlay said, "and we have been trying to call a public meeting to go over the survey of seniors in the area recently undertaken by RAP. McKinlay suggested that two members from each existing club form the executive of this new body to guarantee that no one particular group would dornitiate. Shaw pointed otlt`thartnOSt 'of the 800 senior citizens in Exeter don't belong to any of these groups, a fact that has shown up in the survey. McKinlay said, later in the meeting, that further proceedings for renovations at the Scout house in connection with the Well-Come Inn would be left in abeyance until the public meeting can clear up some of the misunderstandings. He also said he will be making the survey results available to the com- mittee. It's that time again The annual complaints regarding snowmobiles were raised at Exeter's council's inaugural. Newcomer Garnet Hicks related that he had received several complaints from local residents during the past 10 days regarding excessive speed and noise by snowmobilers. He also said that one local lady had almost been knocked off her feet while walking in the vicinity of Exeter United Church. He said the police could "make their wages" by catching snowmobilers who fail to stop at the intersection of James and Andrew St. Hicks also noted that Edward Street was being used as a race track and the speed of some snowmobilers "is out of this world." Councillor Ted Wright said the complaints stemmed from a minority of snowmobile owners, but explained that he had been awakened by one enthusiast who roared past his home on several occasions in the early morning hours last week. He said the local bylaw called for a termination of activities after 11:00 p.m. but Chief Day replied that this did not include those sno‘vmobilers who were returning to their homes from other locations. He noted that when stopped, all snowmobilers had to do was advise police they were in fact returning to their homes. "Unless some of these guys (snewmobiler owners) play their cards carefully, they'll ruin it for everyone," Mayor Bruce Shaw commented. No action regarding snowmobilers was taken after Councillor Barb Bell noted the province Was preparing new legislation, It is expected the new legislation will provide stricter controls on the winter machines. Lawrence Hirtzel and Mr. and Mrs. Larry Cronyn, Dashwood Athletic Field Doug Russell, George Tiernan, Bill Vandeworp, Bob Hoffman, Bill Schade, Ervin Rader and one rep from Hay township, At Monday's first meeting of 1975, Stephen Reeve Cecil Des- jardine, deputy-reeve Kenneth Campbell and councillors Doug Russell, Allan Walper and Ralph Weber took their oaths from clerk Wilma'.

First prize in the event is $10,000, The race is open to stock snowmobiles with a maximum of 340 CC's and the entry list is expected to exceed 400. McGregor is one of three contestants from Ontario.

In the Winnipeg to St. Paul race pit stops are allowed at the completion of each 100 miles. Mechanics are allowed to work on machines only at the pit stops or at the end of racing each evening. Police investigate two local thefts Two incidences of theft were reported this week to the Exeter police department. Doug Robbins operator of Mid Town Auto' Sales, Main Street reported two wheel rings and hub caps were taken from his used car lot. Constable Joe O'Driscoll is investigating. Thursday evening, a wallet belonging to Terry Bowman, Sanders Street, Exeter was stolen while he was attending judo classes at South Huron District High School. The wallet containing iden- tification and $12 in cash was taken from a pocket of his trousers which were left in a locker room, Constable George Robertson is investigating. Police chief Ted Day notes thefts of this nature are a com- mon occurrence and suggests night class students leave their money at home or have their wallet checked. A key ring containing 10 keys has been turned in to the local police office. The keys are bronze in colour and are belived to be for cabinets or lockers. They were found in the vicinity of Victoria and Andrew Streets. United Church delivered the in- vocation. Listed by officials as priorities for 1975 were waste disposal; roads and fire protection agreements with the police villages of Dashwood and Crediton. The Ministry of the Environ- ment has advised council that the present condition Of the waste disposal site at Lot 3, Concession 14 does not meet provincial requirements. The latest communique from the Ministry asks that all burning be ceased immediately, proper covering of debris be carried out and signs be replaced. Council is ready to proceed with the township's secondary plan which was prepared in 1974. A public meeting will be held likely in March. A land severance application from Tom Freeborn at Lot 34, North Boundary Concession was given tentative approval. In appointments, Reeve Des- jardine was named to the Grand Bend and area fire board and will be the township's industrial manager. Deputy-reeve Campbell was named to the Exeter area fire board and former reeve Joseph Dietrich is the Stephen represen- tative on the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. Dashwood Community Centre and Grounds -Harold Schroeder, Doug Riddell, Victor Hartman, Joseph Dietrich, Mrs. T.H. Hoff- man, Ralph Weber and one rep from Hay township. For the months of January, February and March, council meetings will be held the first and third Tuesdays each month at 1 p.m. From April to October the twice monthly sessions will begin at 7:30 p.m. RAP budget - Continued from front page the deficit down as low as possible. Shaw suggested that the first thing the new committee do is budget $5,000 to town council to cover the deficit. RAP members discussed means of raising more revenues for the committee later in the meeting. New member Dave Zyluk, inquired whether RAP was entitled to set up any form of annual lottery to finance the future sports complex and help pay for present programs. McKinlay said that the sports complex committee was a separate entity from RAP and a lottery for that purpose would have to be run by the executive of that body. Bob Pooley suggested that they "encourage all groups under the umbrella of RAP to go out and make themselves solvent." and thereby relieve RAP of some of the subsidies it pays to the groups. Shaw suggested that RAP could sponsor dances at the arena to raise money and provide en- tertainment at the same time. It was suggested later in the meeting that a schedule of rates be set up for use of RAP facilities to ensure that more revenues are coming in. It was noted that, at present some organizations use the facilities free of charge and others are required to pay a fee. Alvin Willert and JimMcKinlay said they receive inquiries for ice rentals and gym space and would like to have a set policy to deal with these requests. Waste disposal, fire agreements priorities set for Stephen council Page 3 He also asked for the support of RAP by putting their name on the stag and raffle ticket so that the public would know the money is going towards a recognized activity. 'RAP moved that the-wrestling club affiliate with RAP and then that RAP endorse their fund raising schemes. Doug added that he is hoping to train some of the club members so that they can instruct younger boys from the public schools and that a full program of wrestling from K-13 can be started to help make the South Huron Club more competitive in meets. Only one crash for Exeter police The only motor vehicle ac- cident investigated this week by officers of the Exeter police department occurred Friday at 10.05 a.m. Involved in the mishap on Highway 4, north of the Highway 83 intersection were vehicles driven by Wallace Coles, Crocket Street, Hamilton and Roger Urquhart, RR 1 St. Marys.
