Exeter juveniles lose first game of season A strong stand against recent recommendations that would eli- minate the elected or appointed Hydro commissions in the pro- vince and dump their duties into the laps of municipal councils featured the annual meeting of District 7 of the Ontario Muni- cipal Electric Association, held recently in Strathroy. Attending the meeting repre- senting the Town of Exeter were Mayor, J. H. Delbridge; com- missioner, M. A. Greene and manager, Hugh Davis. In a resolution addressed to the minister of municipal affairs, District '7 referred specifically to the report of consultant Mur- ray Jones recommending the re- organization of municipal gov- ernment in Ottawa, Eastview and Carleton County. If implemented, the report would dissolve several Hydro commissions in the area and place Hydro affairs under a committee of council of the pro- posed regional government. The District 7 resolution, passed unanimously by more than 100 delegates representing some 37 municipal utilities in Western Ontario, called the Jones' pro- posal a "retrograde step not in the best interest of the industrial, Two of Exeter's minor hockey club's played their first game last week with the juveniles los- ing 3-1 to Stoneybrook in Strath- roy on Tuesday night and the squirts playing Dorchester to a 3-3 tie last Saturday afternoon in Lucan. The initial squirt game was a thriller all the way with the Dorchester squad scoring the tying goal with only 11 seconds remaining in the contest. Despite the fact that the locals had not been on the ice previous to their Shamrock League opener the team showed power and that they main completely divorced from tax supported functions. Other- wise, he said, Hydro customers would find themselves paying for other services with their Hydro bills. Electrical systems would depreciate, he stated. "We must play our part in seeking an enlightened and far- sighted solution to municipal gov- ernment re-organization," he said, "but there is no reason why the proven and fundamental principles which have guided Hydro so successfully in the past cannot be continued under a re- gional form of government." A plea for a united approach to Hydro problems arising from new concepts of municipal ad- ministration was voiced by Stan- ly Webster, Tillsonburg, presi- dent of the Association of Muni- cipal Electrical Utilities. "We appear to be on the brink of a complete re-organization of our municipal systems", he said, "and from the standpoint of electrical distribution and management, we should be pre- pared to administer larger areas." Only through the co- operation of the 0.M.E.A., the A.M.E.U. and Ontario Hydro could this be handled efficiently. would again be a contender for league honours. Perry Stover put the locals into the lead when he scored the first goal of the season early in the first frame. Van Tuckey and Noel Skinner assisted on the play while John Vriese scored the second Exeter goal with help from Steve Harrison and Steve Schroeder. John Courtney took passes from Brian Tuckey and Ricky Stagg to put the Exeter squad in the lead in the third period but Dorchester fought back gamely to gain a tie in the dying seconds. commercial and residential users of electric power in the province." It stressed the urg- ency of maintaining the separa- tion which now exists between tax supported and revenue pro- ducing municipal services, The meeting also proposed that the District 7 executive appoint a special public relations com- mittee to develop a course of action which the member muni- cipalities might follow to ensure that the role of the local utility commission was properly under- stood and protected. "We are of the opinion," the motion stated, "that the Ottawa proposal, if instituted, would eventually apply to the province as a whole and Hydro, as we know it, would be destroyed. It can only be the result of a complete misunderstanding of the history, function and responsibility of a local public utility commission." Acknowledging that changing social habits, industrialization and merging boundaries called for a new look at the way we govern ourselves at the muni- cipal level, Dr. R. H. Hay, King- ston, president of the parent as- sociation, reiterated that revenue supported services should re- The shorthanded Exeter Juven- iles tired in the third period as Stoneybrook broke a 1-1 tie by scoring two quick goals with less than two minutes remaining in the final period to hand the locals a 3-1 loss.
