The closest Catholic high schools are in London and Kitchener. The chairman described the steering committee as a fact finding committee.

Tuesday night, a gentleman with a document case walked into council near the end of the session and sat down in the gallery. After reaching an ap- propriate place on the agen- da, Mayor Bruce Shaw asked the visitor if he'd like to ad- dress council. The visitor identified himself as Steve Monteith and said it had been suggested by the clerk that he attend the session.. After getting some direc- tion from Reeve Bill Mickle, Shaw indicated that discus- sion would take place follow- ing adjournment. The identity of the visitor was not given further elaboration, although it is believed there is a lawyer in Stratford by that name. Of equal merit in the mystery surrounding the regular session of council was the fact that there was no discussion on upcoming zon- ing hearings being held in Hay Township regarding the agri-industrial park at the northern boundaries of town, and one in Usborne regarding rezoning of land on the southern. boundaries along Highway 4 A bylaw approving the Hay zoning had been scuttled by Exeter representation on the grounds that they had not been given notice of the matter. The Hay bylaw will be ad- dressed at a meeting in Zurich on July 25 and the' Usborne hearing is slated tor July 31. The tarter, in part, pertains to the rezoning of land on part lot 14, concession 1 (Highway 4) from village residential to highway com- mercial to permit the .,,establishment of an automotive dealership. Whether the visitor's ap- pearance and the lack of public discussion on the area municipalities' zoning had any connection would be merely conjecture.

The dances were popular attractions. The community centre was filled on Saturday night, and many strange sights were to be seen at the shirt-tail parade leading to a street dance on Sunday evening.

In fact, the frisbee involved in the situation had errently come from the neighbor's property and the charge arose from an ensuing verbal altercation between the prin- cipals involved in the situation.
