The really hazardous rider is the small son or daughter who is along for the ride. These children should never be allowed on the tractor or trailing implement. It's far better to have them angry with you for a while because you won't let them ride, than have you regretful all your life that you allowed them to ride and get hurt. Manufacturers put only one seat on a tractor and that's for the operat- or. This is no accident — it's the way they've planned it for safety, according to the Ontario Farm Safety Council.

Through InteexeferZimesabuorafe PHONE 235-1331 Residents in the area of Water- loo Street have protested a pro- posed move which would allow a fence to enclose a right-of-way in this area in order to use this to pasture cattle. The request for this was heard at the last meeting of council and members decided to get the feelings of the residents of the area before making a decision. A letter signed by three resi- dents protested that the area be left as is. There are trees and brush on the road allowance which are the only visual protection re- sidents have from a slaughter house in the area. The letter also suggested the area has one of the highest fly concentrations in town and pasturing cows here would increase this. It was also sug- gested that by clearing this area and fencing the right-of-way the value of the properties would be further reduced. Councillors, in deciding to leave the area as is, decided to write to Stephen council inform- ing them of Exeter's decision as half of this road allowance is owned by Stephen Township. In other business council de- cided to continue with plans for the reconstruction of Main Street. The engineer will be requested to complete the preliminary plans and a meeting with the Public Utilities Commission will be held in order to co-ordinate this pro- ject. It was estimated it would take at least two years to com- plete all the necessary planning for this project. The Department of Highways pays a 90 percent subsidy on the construction cost of this. The new flag poles will be erected in front of the town hall before the end of October coun- cil was informed. These will be of the telescopic type and be in three sections. Council will advertise for a crossing guard-caretaker to look after various duties for the town. The duties will include looking after the town hall, the exterior of the library and the town clerk's office as well as serving as crossing guard for public school students. The clerk was instructed to send a bill for $10 to the motor- ist who damaged the fence at the town dump in Hay township. Apparently a car left the road and struck the fence recently. No posts were broken but the new wire fence did receive dam- age. A section of land on Sanders Street, owned by the town, will be worked up this fall and plant- ed to grass seed in the spring. Councillor Joe Wooden estimat- ed the cost of this would be under $100 and suggested the RAP com- mittee could put a couple of pieces of playground equipment such as swings and teeter-tot- ters on the property next year. There were only two building permits granted by council at this meeting. Councillor Ted Wright suggested the time is coming when Exeter will have to adopt a policy similar to Lon- don in regards to those people who start a project before the permit is granted. Councillor Wooden suggested it is now time to review and revise the building by-law. Funeral service for C.

It would also allow parking on these streets. Either the clerk or deputy clerk will attend the meeting of Huron County clerks and trea- surers in Clinton October 18.
