The township covered 100 percent of the costs for the new ad- ministration centre, barring the MTC labour grant. Although township costs end with the $90,000 bill for 1987, Mr. Graham said it is unlikely the mill rates will decrease.

Ross McPhail, former warden of Perth County was named as head of the political organization at its annual meeting 011 July 9. Mr. McPhail served for 14 years on county council and in the May 2 pro- vincial election headed up campaign activities in the south part of Perth from PC candidate Glynn Coghlin. The Perth PC's saw their largest gathering ever just over a year ago when Dr. Harry Brightwell was elected as former MP Bill Jarvis' suc- cessor. Mr. McPhail hopes to keep that momentum and the same number of members. "Hopefully we'll maintain that posi- tion and expand our activities," said the Hibbert Township farmer. Dr. Brightwell was on hand for the annual meeting and said he would like • to see more ongoing fundraising ac- tivities by the association. instead of holding them just during an election campaign. Mr. Judge remains on the executive as past president. He remarked that the association's activities in the pas( three years since he has been chair- man. normally would take place in 10 years. He was referring to the two elections. the John Crosbie night and the Frank Miller night, when Mr. Miller was premier. Other executive members of the association are provincial vice- president John Stratton of Sebr- ingville, federal vice-president Nina Carey of Stratford, secretary Laurie Francis of Stratford, provincial treasurer George Trethaway of Strat- ford and federal treasurer Gary Thomas of Stratford.

Sanders St. lot sold Exeter council approved the sale of another residential lot this week, while deciding to retain the lot beside the local Scout hall on John St. W. Gregus Construction, the only bid- der, will gel the lot on Sanders St. E. that was opened up when the town closed Wellington St. in that area. The local firm submitted a bid of $16,020. A lot on the other end of the closed street fronting on John St. E. sold to Peter Mc1'alls for his bid of $16.300. Bids for the Sanders St. lot did not reach the reserve originally. and council re -tendered. At their meeting_ Monday, council Agreed to retain the lot beside the Scout hall. The local Lions club had petitioned council not to sell the pro- perty for.residential purposes and in turn had offered council 81.00 for it so it would be available for expansion of the Scout hall or outdoor youth activities. This week, Mike Cregan. chairman of the local Scout committee. urged council to accept the Lions offer to en- sure the lot would be available for youth activities. He explained that the area is used for group games as well as a training site for camping activities and said it would be a pity to see it turned over for residential purposes and thereby lost for youth programs. Cregan will be advised of council's decision to retain the property. Zoning on the property will also re- main as institutional. though an ap- plication had been made to change it to residential.

No RC high school for Huron The Huron County board of educa- tion doesn't have to tell the province how a Catholic high school will impact on its school system. The school board got out of the task of preparing an impact statement because the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic separate school board decid- ed not to put a high school in the county. Robert Allan.

Ross suggested was the best way to prevent further basemen) flooding for residents along Carling St. south of Gidley St. Money for the project was not in' eluded in this year's -udgel but became available due to the fact money set aside for a sewer line along Thames Road E. will not be required this year. The construction work will be undertaken by the works department primarily and council directed that it be done "as soon as possible." Works committee member Tom Humphreys said the anticipated cost of running the sewer on John St. bet- ween Carling and Marlborough would be around 820.000. although council had earlier been advised the cost would be about 814.000. The sewer work proposed for Thames Road E. had been in an- ticipation of an expansion to a new site by Dan Brie Agri -Products Manufacturing, but building inspec- tor Brian Johnston advised that the owners have indicated the sewer will not be required until August of 1986 at the earliest. 1 BOWLING CLUB SALE — Shown with articles at o recent Exeter lawn bowling club yard sale are Loretta Siegner, Ruth Skinner and Gloria McFalls. - T -A photo LOOKING OVER THE QUILTS.— Leila Finkbeiner of Exeter was one of the many visitors Friday to the quilt show at the Lambton Heritage Museum. T -A photo CHECKING THE BROCHURE Lambton Heritage Museum curator Bob Tremain and Diane Milligan check over the brochure of the an• nual quilt show at the museum. T -A photo probably won't be needed until 1988, the year the Catholic school board has earmarked for the possibility of set- ting up a high school in the lakefront county. The Huron -Perth school board is Stratford to serve Perth County students. This will open in St. Michael's in September of 1986. "I take the position, and 1 trust the board takes the position that a separate high schodl in Stratford has. no impact on Huron sschool," said Allan. The Catholic school board decided in May to not have a high school in Huron because there was not enough studepts interested. Also, some parents had concerns for the board's secondary school plan- ning committee's plan to put a high school inside of Central Huron secon- dary "chool in Clinton. The provincial planning and im- plementation commission is receiving impact statements from public school boards in jurisdictions where Catholic secondary schools are being extended. Still complain about streets No matter how much you do for people. they still expect more. That was the situation cited by Mayor Bruce Shaw this week in reference to a complaint the public works committee had from a local citizen regarding the condition of sonic Exeter streets. Shaw explained that the condition of local streets has been improved thousands of percent since he arriv- ed in town. Committee chairman Morley Hall recommended that the letter writer visit some other area municipalities to compare Exeter's streets with theirs. Works superintendent Glen Kells advised that many of the streets outlined by the citizen were on the list to be repaired this year ,Display project A project recently completed by a woodworking student al South Huron District High School is on display in downtown Exeter.
