In 1923 a '‘Sanitary our town was made by clal Board of Health, water were taken from The following quotation from the re­ port of this survey will show how very true Mr. Ransford’s statements “Exeter has a water system for fire protection only, but over a quar­ ter of the- houses are connected to this supply and use it for various domestic purposes. The grossly polluted water from a small creek is pumped directly into the main; there is no attempt at purification This constitutes a menace to the Public Health which can’t be neg­ lected with impunity, Only 5 wells out of 393 samples were free from pollution, There is no supply of surface water within a reasonable distance of Exeter, which could be used as a source of domestic waiter supply without expensive methods of treatment. There is no data avail­ able regarding underground sources of water. It would pay Exeter, however, to explore the possibilities of such a supply, and if possible convert the present dangerous fire supply, into a safe domestic one.” More recently numerous individ­ ual -samples have been sent and re­ ports received show that there is practically no pure water in Exeter. Exeter, as you know, has been settled for a great many years, and during all that time with a popula­ tion that has been even larger than at the present. The soil is saturat­ ed with the products of animal de­ composition, and shallow wells with­ out pollutions are almost an impos­ sibility. True, the correctly con­ structed and proper instalation of septic tanks are not as dangerous as the old privy system because bac­ teria are killed in the tanks and ani­ mal matter is absorbed by plants when the drainage is at the proper depth. But this by no means re­ moves all our gers are still a dry season, • become more tions, would „ .. . practically menaced by epidemics of typhoid fever, dysentry, diarhoea, diphtheria, goitre and various other grave diseases. ■ It might be mentioned, .in passing that the expense involved in having Engineers “explore for -an under­ ground source’-’ as suggested in the report is unnecessary according to Mr. Ransford, since he tells us this source is available at 300 feet. In summing up the report of their survey, The Provincial Sanitary En­ gineers said.— It is therefore recommended: 1. That Exeter Chlorinate its present fire supply, . , - 2. That Exeter get expert engin­ eers advice and if possible convert its present fire supply domestic supply by the sian wells, but if it is to secure watei’ from then filters should be the earliest possible moment. 3. That Exeter should have plans of a complete system of sewers drawn up and approved by the Pro­ vincial Board of Health, then when the necessity for drains arises, it can be built according to the plans and ultimately give Exeter a complete system of sewers. It is well to bear in mind that the above report is on file at the Pro­ vincial Board of Health: that under the new Healli Act proposed at To­ ronto independent officers are very likely (to some here and instruct us to install a complete domestic water supply and sewage system, as they already have -done at Forest and other towns. A pure water supply now would doubtless serve to post­ pone that day when we need face the expense of a sewage and sewage disposal system. There is nothing more important in any community than a supply of pure wholesome drinking water. The above mentioned report shows be­ yond any doubt that the quality of our well water is far* from this ideal. Therefore it is obviously a matter of vital importance that steps should be taken at the earliest possible date to ascertain how best the condition can be remedied and I would urge that our-reeve and council look into the matter ere we are visited by some epidemic.

In closing allow us to say that this Association is chiefly concerned in what is best for the preserve and we have no private interests involv­ ed nor do we wish to force our views on the landowners. We are therefore arranging for a meeting at an early date of which they will receive due notice where the situation will be discussed and we hope satisfactory arrangements made.

I 'would like to have it proved that I applied for a permit to make a private hunting ground for myself out of the preserve. Now 11 'Wish to state that any thinking man would know that it would be out of reason and would not be right to give one mai|' a permit to go on the preserve and kill all the fur­ bearing animals on it so that he could make big money out of it and all of the rest of the landowners just look on. Now I have no such per­ mit and the statement made, that it has made a private hunting ground out of the preserve is false. If the gentlemen had ‘ asked me I could have given them all the information they wanted and 'there would been no trouble over it. To all land owners and all cerned in the "game preserve I to state that I have a permit to pre­ serve the game and not to 'destory it under any condition, as long as it does not become a nuisance to people living on or near the preserve and to bird life. By carefully looking over the preserve I find it is not a nuisance as yet; but it did not look so to some of the fur hunters this winter from the amount of tracking that was done on it. There has been a rumor going around -that I have been hunting on the preserve which is not true, and' if these ru­ mors persist someone may be called to account. Thanking you for the space in your valuable paper,. •• . PETER MARTENE THE have con- wish THE GAJME PRESERVE Saturday, March 24,1928 To the Editor of Exeter Times-Advocate Dear Sir: In reply to the communication under the heading “The Game Pre­ serve” which was published in last week’s issue of your valuable paper and which deals with the permit granted by the Government to one of their Deputy Game Wardens to kill and destroy predatory animals such as Skunk, Weasel and Mink, within the boundaries of the Huron Crown Game Preserve, we wish to make the following statements: It is quite correct that the Game Protective Associations did recom­ mend to the Department of Game and. Fisheries the official that been appointed by them for above purpose. The advisability of so doing was discussed and agreed upon at a re­ gular meeting of the Association of Which due notice was given in the customary manner to all active mem­ bers of the Association and there wore in attendance at this meeting more members than required by its laws to transact any and a,ll business of the Association; also that the of­ ficers of the Association were elect­ ed in a proper manner and are not self-appointed as implied by your correspondent.

A most enjoyable evening was spent in 'games and music, after which a dainty lunch was served by the hostess. The beautiful spring days of the past week have changed the road conditions in and around the village the snow and ice having all gone. Church is Free of Debt The congregational social evening and supper held in the church on Tuesday evening last, was well at­ tended. At this function the notes used to finance the building of the church, were burned by four ladies representing four different depart­ ments of the church; Mrs. J. W. Bowden, the Ladies Aid, who spoke very suitably for the occasion; Mrs. A. Brooke, the W. M.S.; Mrs. T. Neil, treasurer of the Ladies Aid during the -building operations of the church, and Miss A. Anderson, the Y. P. S. Mr. W. R. Elliott, as chairman, reviewed the forming of the different committees to build the new church after the old one was burned, having been struck by lightning. He emphasized t-lie fact that we had the right man in the right place in the person of Rev. A. Sinclair, who was the pastor during the building operations and by his genial disposition and kindly spirit, working as he did aided greatly in the erection and completion of the beautiful edifice. Words could not express the co-operative spirit that existed during this time. As Mr. Sinclair was called to the platform in his usual way he spoke kndly of his stay in Centraliai and the • building in which he then stood and ended up by a few humorous re­ marks. He was gven a right royal reception, every one being glad to greet both him ana Mrs. Sinclair once more. Presentation to Mr. Essery Rev. Mr. Irwin spoke briefly, out­ lining building operations in which he had been engaged, on different charges, and then asked Mr. John Essery, the fnancial treasurer, of the Building Committee to come to the platform. At this juncture Mrs. W. J. Parsons read an address to Mr. Essery and Mrs. T. Willis presented him with a gold-mounted cane, suit­ ably engraved, as a slight token for the faithful services he had render­ ed in the capacity of treasurer of the Building Fund. Mr. Essery was taken completely by surprise and deeply touched by the incident, but, in his usual way thanked the ladies, who had so nobly -stood by him in his endeavors to raise money. He as­ sured the treasurer of the shed com­ mittee, Mr. Albert Brown, that he need .have no fear to approach the ladies when in urgent need of funds as he had done so on many -occas­ ions and always met- with success, and now to- cap .it all they have made this presentation, so that he was doubly sure -they like to take a hand in helping along any good cause per­ taining to church work. The program was intermingled with quartettes, a male chorus, duetts, solos, etc. and at the close all joined in singing the National An­ them. Needless to say the evening was an entire success, both supper and program being (thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Address to Mr. John Essery: Dear Friend;— The present occasion is one which takes place in the lifetime of only, a few, and never in the life of many. The beautiful church in which we now meet, the liquidation of the debt in such a short time, the cere­ mony and pleasure of.burning the notes to-night; all go to-make 'the occasion most unique. While in the last analysis we are indebled for such things to a willing people, ne­ vertheless, we do not forget? that personally you have played a very important part in the matter. To you was committed the often. un­ pleasant and arduous task of taking charge of the building fund? You have shown that the confidence of the people placed in you in designat­ ing you foY such a, position was not misplaced. You did it with exceed­ ingly good tact, gentlemanly consid­ eration, and untiring perserverance until it has culminated in the func- ton of this hour. The people have been, seized with the fact that your labors should bo recognized in some tangible way. We therefore take great pleasure in pre-* senting you with this gold-mounted cane, Thankful as we are that in your present vigorous 'condition of health you do pot really need its sup­ port, and we pray that you may not need it for many years to cotne, but if such a time does come, we rest assured that your great support will be the presence of :Him in the in­ terests of whose kingdom you have spent so many years.
