No Huron Expositor joins Effective July 1, the Huron Expositor, Blyth Standard. and the Brussels Post become members of the rapidly growing Ontario Press Council. Newspapers voluntarily join the council, which is a self-evaluating organization to monitor complaints from the public about the conduct of the press, There were 14-member newspapers at the beginning of 1981, nine dailies and five weeklies, but on July 1 the total jumps to 24 with the addition of a tenth daily and nine weeklies. In a release from the council, chairman, Davidson Dunton, sitid:` "The weekly newspapers, most serving predominantly rural areas, represent a far more important section of the media than many city people realize."

We have never gone on strike here, and I doubt if you'll ever see a strike here. It's a pretty loyal bunch of workers." In fact. there .are 18 different unions represented in the Post Office, a situation often cited as the main cause of seemingly endless string of contract disputes between postal workers and management. Although the delivery of incoming, and outgoing mail from beyond the Seaforth postal area has been disrupted, "delivery will be as usnal for Seaforth and rural routes," added Mr. Whitmore.

The committee's June report showed they considered seven applications this month. • Stanley reeve Paul Steckle told council it seems people want to extend themselves as far as the by-law permits. In many cases when-the•-committee a?Iatmer-to remove a lot of trees, they request the farmer replant 100 trees. Steckle said he questions whether 100 trees is worth planting and what ensures the trees will live, he asked. Steckle commented he appreciates the concern of farmers that large machinery does not operate well around trees, but he said he is also concerned about the problems of erosion and top- soil-Wowing away. Torn Cunningham, chairman of the development committee ponted out that the by-law is explicit; if trees are encouraged to die through neglect or some other reason, the committee has the power to order they lie replanted again. Cunningham went on to say the new Mink may prevept the replanting of trees in Farmers' market a success Although attendance at Saturday's farm- ers market was down slightly compared to' lase year's, those who did visit were a "buying crowd" and exhibitors seemed satisfied, according to recreation director Bryan Peter. "As far as I know, all the exhibitors arc coming back." explained the director Mon- day. "They must be happy or they Wouldn't be coming back." Mr. Peter said the drop in numbers may have been the result of people taking Monday for the July 1 holiday and going away for the long weekend. "It just so happened 'it hit , on a 'holiday, but it's not-likely that will happen again." he added. The second of four markets, to be held in Victoria Park this summer is scheduled for ly, 25.

If there isn't room to plant 1,000 trees, said Cunningham. it is possible the committee will recommend none be planted.

He said he doesn't find the new ruling out of line in this respect.
