ELLA VENNER Ella Venner, formerly of Exeter and formerly of Thorald, passed away at St, Catharines General Hospital on Wednesday, Continued from front page Loral boundaries in the area, Liberals from Huron and Mid- dlesex counties got together at the Dashwood Community Centre on Wednesday night and smoothly merged their allegiance to a new Huron- Middlesex Provincial Liberal Association. Ian McAllister of Hay Town- ship was named president of the new association which will represent Liberals from 20 communities from the two counties. The Middlesex municipalities of McGillivray, Biddulph, East and West Williams, Adelaide, Parkhill, Ailsa Craig and Lucan have combined with all municipalities in the present riding of Huron with the exception of Hullet and McKillop. The two townships have been placed in the new Grey-Bruce riding. Meeting chairman A. Y. McLeanof Seaforth explained to the 160 Liberal faithful attending that the new riding of Huron- Middlesex had not yet been ap- proved and in fact, would receive second reading on Thursday in the Legislature. The only indication that the new association is a combination of two present ridings came in the election of officers set out in the constitution. Of the five vice- presidents to be in office, three must be from the Huron area and when he appeared before Judge Glenn Hays on a charge of failing to file a profit and loss statement with the federal department of April 30.

Municipal representatives from both present ridings ex- pressed displeasure at the change, but all indicated that since it was very likely to be approved, they would have to make the best of the situation. As Reeve Aubrey McCallum of East Nissouri, respresenting the warden of Middlesex said, "We're against the division but if we must be divided we couldn't be going with a better bunch than Huron." MPP Jack Riddell commented that he thought the new boun- daries would be passed as presented and doubted if Adelaide township would leave the Huron-Middlesex designation as has been conjectured, The meeting adopted the consitution of the Huron Liberal Association with some changes, including the stipulation that three of the vice-presidents be from Huron and two from Mid- dlesex. Another change was the ad- dition of all chairmen of municipal associations to the executive. Also to be included on the executive are the past president, all candidates or standing members, and presidents of any federal Liberal association which may include areas of the new provincial riding. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Paying the fine was Frederick J. Lankamp, who operated a fuel oil business in Exeter. The charge was laid by the RCMP. A fine of $150 and a license suspension of three months was handed out to Peter Otvos, 104 Aster St., London, who was charged with impaired driving in Exeter on April 1. He pleaded guilty to the charge. Donald Albert Dawes, Huron Park, was given a suspended sentence and placed on probation for two years on a charge of stealing an automobile in Exeter on dctober 2 of last year. The vehicle was later recovered in Thamesford. Two other men were ordered to make restitution and apologize for the theft of gasoline from a car in Huron Park, Terrance James Cox, Exeter, and Kenneth Allan Clark, Admiral Drive, London, were also ordered to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for one year. A fine of $100 was levied against Lloyd McCurdy, RR 1 Kirkton, who pleaded guilty to a charge of careless driving. His car crashed into a bridge on sideroad 10 in Usborne on March 29 resulting in $2,000 damage. McCurdy was hospitalized as a result of the crash. Other fines levied by Judge Hays and Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake were as follows: Douglas R. Ferguson, Exeter, $53 for having liquor in a place other than his residence. Alexine Dietrich, RR 3 Dash- wood, $28 for failing to share the road while meeting an oncoming car. She was involved in a collision with an OPP cruiser driven by Constable Frank Giffin on March 16 on the Crediton Road. Edward L. Desjardine, 128 Algonquin Drive, Huron Park, $53 for having liquor in a place other than his residence, Helen E, Triebner, RR 1, Lucan, $38 for following another vehicle too closely. Lions set second Las Vegas night The Exeter Lions announced plans this week for their second annual Las Vegas night. Last year's array of games and contests will be repeated, along with some new features, Proceeds from the eventwill be used to cover part of the costs of the new Lions tennis courts. Date for this year's Las Vegas night is Julie 9, McAllister said he hoped all would forget about being from Huron or Middlesex and work together as one unit. The thought that the new executive would be too unwieldy due to the addition of municipal chairmen was refuted by Mr. McAllister. "The more people we involve, the more input we have, the more successful we should be," said Mr. McAllister who has been president of the Huron Liberal Association for the past year and a half. "In addition, I'm looking for input from all members of the association, not only from executive members." MPP Jack Riddell spoke briefly and indicated he had made the decision to seek the position as Liberal candidate in the next provincial election. He praised the efforts and "tremendous organization" of the Liberal association in the recent by-election and said he hoped it would repeat the effort in the provincial election. The election, Mr. Riddell ex- plained, could be legally held as late as fall 1976 but it was thought to be coming this year. "Over 90 ridings in Ontario have Liberal associations already organized," said Mr. Riddell, "We are prepared." Water — Continued from front page his property to test his well, pumping for 12 hours to deter- mine if the level would drop, Before the 12 hours was up, the water level had dropped and the pump on the well sucked up muck, causing it to burst. A half inch layer of fine muck was spread across Mr. Zandbergen's cellar floor. He said he called the Exeter Public Utilities about damages and they 'had a cheque for the damage delivered to him by truck the same day. "They're awfully friendly right now but if they get what they want it will be a different story," said Mr. Zandbergen. "The honeymoon will be over once they have the permit." He suggested that once the municipal well is established and he decides he wants another well for a second barn, he would have to seek the permission of the Exeter Public Utilities Com- mission. "Everything will belong to Exeter then," he concluded. Councillor Murray Dawson related how one farmer had been refused permission to use irrigation on his own farm once a municipal well had been in- stalled. "They can water lawns and fill swimming pools in town but we can't even water crops with our own water," said Mr. Dawson. Dick Etherington questioned the economic wisdom of putting in another well rather than hooking into the Grand Bend source. "I'm only a stupid sheep farmer but a man's wages, a truck and parts will be necessary to maintain all the wells they're getting out here," said Mr. Etherington. One farmer attending said the drillers worked on the side of the road on his farm and dumped sludge onto a plowed field. Another farmer informed the meeting that according to provincial statute, a farmer can't pump more than 800 gallons a day once a well has been installed. A third farmer said much of his land was close to an existing well and he wasn't allowed to apply liquid manure to his own farm land. Councillor Jack Stewart suggested that the council should hold a public meeting with the Ontario Water Resources Commission attending. "This is a major concern and we have to do something about it," said councillor Stewart. Mr. Zandbergen suggested that if council wanted to stop the water being taken "we must stop them now if we ever want to stop them." "You know, really, it's an in- sult to Usborne," said Deputy- reeve Bill Morley. Council agreed to send a letter expressing its feelings on the matter to the Public Utilities Commission in Exeter with copies to various provincial and federal government officials, — Continued from front page at the former post office which will now house the town's ad- ministration building. The Authority recommended that the laneway be extended the full width of the old post office property to provide better access to this parking area. Owners of an incinerator near the right-of-way will be asked to have it removed to facilitate traffic. The town will offer to remove the incinerator if the owners agree. Other recommendations in the report that were approved were as follows: —To write the Exeter United Church board 'to see if an agreement could be reached for use of their parking lot for the public. The Authority noted this was close to the core area and would be ideal for merchants and their employees in that area who now use some of the parking spots on Andrew and James St. —To reinstitute the 10-minute parking area on Main St, in front of the old post office, It was noted this would serve the same pur- pose as an express counter in a supermarket, allowing people making short stops downtown to have a parking area more readily available. In the report's preamble, the Authority noted that parking space was not a problem in Exeter. "Unfortunately, many customers and businessmen differ with that opinion, primarily because it is im- possible to satisfy the apparent human need to park directly in front of the store which one wishes to visit. "This appears to be a foible of small-town shoppers. They drive 00 or 40 miles out of their way to a! city shopping centre, battle traffic, pay a dollar or two for parking and then have to walk blocks to the store they plan to visit. Even in the 5hoPPiPg centres, few can park as close to the front door as they can to any front door in Exeter, "As an •example, William St. is a walk of about one minute away from the Main St. And provides several laneway ac- cesses; yet it is seldom used for parking". Lucan developer still going ahead "The subdivision is not dead, Far from it," Those were the comments of Ray McNichol on a proposed new subdivision in Lucan. McNichol was answering a statement made by Lucan reeve Ivan Hearn at a council meeting in April. At that time Hearn said "The proposed 38 home sub- division was "dead" because the developer had failed to submit plans to the Ontario Municipal Board before March 31." In an interview with the T-A this week, McNichol said, "the holdup to date is in getting a subdivision agreement with the village. They didn't start to negotiate with me until January of this year." McNichol continued, "My plans were filed with the Ministry of Housing late in 1973 and I have fulfilled all requirements of provincial bodies." The developer said surveyors are out this week verifying lot lines and the plan should be cleared through the land title office shortly.
