He added that he couldn't see where the fund raising com- mittee would come up with the needed $3,300 in five weeks since they have had since the fall of 1975 to arrange for money. Dave Zyluk said that it is unlikely that any money will be forthcoming from either council or RAP, but suggested that the club could go into debt to RAP. He is financial chairman of RAP. It was decided to cancel the trip pending parent approval on a suggestion from Secretary John Rasenberg. The parents have been involved in the ultimate decision making since the team was awarded the tour by the NAJSA in late summer, He felt that it would be unfair that the parents were not given a say in possibly the final decision. At the meeting Wednesday night, the parents were con- fronted with the decision by the executive and the two major reasons behind it. ly 1n ourhara, Chesley and Qin• ton, but also felt that health spending cutbacks were necessary.

Each of these men deserve the Canada Medal; let us give credit where credit is due, and show our appreciation to those who worked above and beyond their duty in cold, and in frustrating circumstances. Also let us give thanks to Almighty God for protection of life and limb, in spite of such devastation no one was killed nor even injured by falling tree limbs or live electric wires, It all could have been so much worse.

Constable Bill McIntyre of the OPP in Exeter is investigating. • 235-2187 • 133 Huron St., East, Exeter The executive said that since the accommodations originally guaranteed through the NAJSA and Anglo Soccer Promotions were no longer available and causing an increase in costs and the dismal financial picture for funds the trip should be can- celled. If the parents, many of whom have already purchased tickets on a non-refundable basis for the charter trip, decide to go ahead with the tour they have three weeks in which to raise $2,300 to bring the bank account up to $4,000. Should they fail the executive will decide finally to dispense with the tour. No decision by the parents involved was available at press time. Jim McKinlay RAP director, will still sit on the Huron County Recreation Study sessions, but it is going to cost him. RAP had previously requested that the county pay McKinlay's mileage expenses, but the county refused, saying they paid only for county employees expenses. McKinlay, who feels that HCRS's study of area recreation facilities throughout Huron County is beneficial to RAP and its funding schemes, offered to pay his own way to the four or five meetings he said will take place in the next six months. RAP agreed. Judge Glen Hays handed down some stiff fines and sentences to offenders of the law, varying from impaired driving, to assault, and break, enter and theft charges, at Tuesday's Session of court.

No arrests have been made. + + + The controversial seat belt legislation has been ammended by the Ontario government to make the wearing of shoulder straps in pre-1974 cars voluntary. This does not mean that it is legal to remove the shoulder har- nesses. Cab drivers are exempt from the wearing of belts and children under the age of five or weighing less then 50 pounds are not required to wear them. + + + The police are reminding the public that with the streets ,clearing and the weather getting milder, motorists :can expect to see more radar trips set up by the local department. They suggest that motorists be alert, watch out in the early mornings and slow down.

He said that the tour problems arose from a "lack of com- munication, clear com- munication on both sides." He added that the NAJSA shares a lot of the blame for this, since at no time did they contact the Centennial club officially. Silcock was the only man in touch with the NAJSA, having attended meetings in Niagara Falls. Neither he nor Solomon were made aware of any rules and regulations of the larger • body, particularly in concern with the trip, The club had decided not to use Anglo Soccer promotion's flight services, instead a plan was used that was provided by Exeter Travel Agency. Assuming ac- commodation plans were being made for them by the FA. The local plan charged each player $170 air fare and $40 ground fees and the coaches $358 and $70 for each, When it was discovered that there were no billeting arrangements, plans were made through Exeter Travel to ac- commodate the tour members in the Preston Country Hotel in *Preston England. This would add $30 and $33 to ground fees respectively. The package would include breakfast and supper, rooms and bus transport. The total for 25 people would be $2,110. The figure would not decrease with a fewer number of people and therefore the new plan necessitates that at least , eight parents voluntarily making the trip join this plan or the cost per player and coach will rise again. The club was never made aware that the accommodations promised them under the NAJSA approved tour would be with- drawn if other arrangements were made, said Solomon, Many of the parents objected to the new plan because it would mean the boys would be in a hotel rather then billetted with families. The parents ac- companying the boys have scheduled themselves on a 14 day charter package. The executive of the club decided to disband the tour after three hours of discussion, boiling the main point down to the present lack of funds. $700 was raised in a dance held at the Legion February 28 and the other $1,000 is coming in the form of a grant from the Ontario government. e, di Several checks have been given 11111, to the club by various local in- dustries but none have been cashed as yet.

Richard Pooley and Murray Greene from the Exeter PUC and Ivan Hearn and Rudy Engel were the area representatives to the two day conference held at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Discussions at the conference included such topics as costing and pricing of hydro electric service and the use and con- servation of electricity. General Chairman of the meeting, Alan Cousins of Wallaceburg, said that the 55 day hearing into Ontario Hydro's bulk power rates were "precedent setting, demanding, and costly . . further intensified by the subs sequent appointment of the Select Committee." Cousins advocated a higher profile for the commissions and boards in future hearings.
