The comments were made in the discussion of re-appointing Iry Armstrong as one of coun- cil's representatives tothe board. "Are we happy with our mem- bers?" Councillor Charles Bar- rett questioned, adding that he was upset over the way the board handled themselves. Deputy-Reeve Phil Gandon said the board had made asses of themselves and had "botched" things up completely. "We've all done a lot of think- Fewer numbers but not the fun With the exception of the num- ber of personnel, there won't be much difference in the festivi- ties at CFB Centralia this year. S/L C. J. Malone, Base Com- mander, reported that most of the usual festivities would be held, including the traditional N e w Years' levee which this year has been scheduled for January 2. The 42 military personnel re- maining at the base have already held their decorating party and a Christmas party is planned for this week and there will be a New Year's eve dance. One thing missing will be the customary Christmas dinner at which the officers serve the oth- er ranks. There are no facilities remaining at the base for serv- ing food. S/L Malone reported that the staff of military personnel would be reduced to 28 in early Janu- ary, as 14 of those there at pre- sent have received postings. Many of the remaining 28 will possibly be leaving in March. There are 39 civilians still em- ployed at centralia. a. A o. 6 ing, and we're not happy," Bar- rett stated. Reeve Derry Boyle indicated he was quite content with re- appointing Armstrong, stating he was a good man who had an in- quiring mind and wasn't afraid to give his opinions. Boyle suggested there were too many members on the SHIMS board who didn't say anything year in and year out and said he was pleased to note that Exeter's representatives were not in this category. Boyle also explained that the board's action had been taken at a closed meeting so there was no way in which council members could know how members voted in the situation involving Mr. Palm- er and Mr. Wooden. Gandon noted that It had been indicated the decision was unani- mous, but another council mem- ber said he knew of two mem- bers of the board who had not been in favor of taking the action undertaken by the board. Mayor Jack Delbridge sug- gested many people in town were "down on the board in general". He indicated he would like to see Armstrong back on the board. Council then unanimously nam- ed Armstrong to another term on the board. Councillor Joe Wooden, who voted for the appointment, made no comments during the debate over the situation in which he had been directly involved. SEND BILL The Exeter Public Utilities Commission also came in for some criticism from c ounc 11 members stemming from recent flooding that had apparently been created by laxness on the part of the PUC staff. It was reported that a couple of drains had been cut off by PUC workmen putting in water mains and council members in- dicated that a bill should be sent to the PUC for the cost incurred by council in having the prob- lems solved. Councillor Ross Taylor said they should certainly be sent the bill because of the "neglig- ence", While the decision to send the bill was approved, Councillor Joe Wooden noted that the PUC was generally an efficient or- ganization. There was also an indication that Works Superintendent Jim Paisley will have plenty of prob- lems when he arrives home from his extended vacation in Florida. One of the questions council Want answered is why he agreed to paying $150 for the rental of shoring for the use of the firm constructing the Marlboro St. More winners for draw cash More winners have been an- nounced in the Exeter Christmas promotion. One person has now won twice. That's Mrs. William Pincombe, RR 3 Exeter, who has won two draws for $5 each. Mrs. Pete Coates, Exeter, won the most recent $25 draw and other $5 winners were; Mrs. Harold Thiel, Clark Fisher, Mrs. Cornelius Faber, Marjorie Dilkes and Miss Judy Horrell. The final draws and the $250 jackpot will be made this week- end. Cars collide at intersection The Exeter police department report only one accident during the past week, that taking place on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Involved were cars driven by Mrs. Larry Baynham, and Den- nis H. Hockey, both of Exeter. They collided at the intersection of Main and Huron Streets. Hockey had been proceeding east across the intersection and the Baynham car was northbound on Main Street. Total damage was listed at $175. A A Sewer, and also why he ap- parently approved an increase in the cost per foot on the job. Several items were laid over until his return and it was re- ferred to as a "growling" list. In other business, council: Accepted an offer from the Bank of Montreal to buy the $13,- 100 in debentures for the Main St. street lights. Learned that officials working on an election or a census are not required to pay into the Pen- sion plan. Learned that the Public School board had a surplus of $10,- 000 this year and so only$50,000 of the $60,000 originally budgeted was paid. Gave final reading to the new building bylaw. Decided that next year's road budget will be $40,000 for con- struction and $20,000 for maint- enance, WHAT'S DOING? Read This Page Each Week — Continued from front page "Where would we set them off?" Mayor Delbridge asked, "Up your chimney," Council- lor Wooden quickly replied to the amusement of all. There was no decision made in this regard. although McCau!ey indicated the new year would be greeted with "all the commotion Possible". PICK COMMITTEE Earlier in the meeting, Coun- cillor Mery Cudmore suggested members should be thinking of how much money the council should spend on centennial ac- tivities next year.

"We have more invested now than we ever figured on." Boyle stated, Councillor Wooden recom- mended that a special committee be set up to administer the vari- ous activities for which council will he responsible. This was approved.
