An Open Letter to the Editor of The Exeter Times-Advocate and its Readers Exeter, Ontario. From: The Exeter Centennial Committee This somewhat belated letter of appreciation will perhaps serve as an appropriate reflec- tion upon 196'7 as not only our Centennial celebration but more specifically as a year of unity and cooperation within Exeter and the district. It is submitted with the hope that our sincerity about its con- tents will be clear, and in the belief that our thanks to those concerned will be interpreted, not as a formality which social convention dictates, but in atrue spirit of grateful recognition. We are certain that we echo the voice of this community when we thank some of its members who so unselfishly gave of their time, talents and material re- sources to the completion of the Riverview Park development, our official Centennial project, and to the overall Centennial activ- ities within the Town. Surely without their contrib- utions it would have been less a success. - to the Heywood Bros. -La- verne and Eldon, and 'Al Flynn for their work in painting the new picnic pavilion; - to Mrs. Syd West for her welcome donation of $25.00 to- wards the pavilion; - to Jones, MacNaughtori Limited for their unstinting don- ations of seed for the lawn in the park; - to Cann's Mill, Read Fertil- isers and the Co-op for donating many bags of fertilizer to make the Seed grow; - to Bruce Cann and the Ex- eter Marching Ambassadors for tulip bulbs (which eventually "marched" from their beds next to the Library, down to thepark); - to the Beta Sigma Phi sor- ority girls who "rose" to the occasion with their.floral display and arbor in the park entrance area; - to Rederle Florists for their Services in handling our plant Orders Without charge; - to the Exeter C.W.L, and the Exeter 1st "A" Ctib Pack Who donated specimen trees - red maple and aintey crabapple forpark beautification; • both Conklin and Beaver Lumber who donated the sturdy arid functional park benches and to Lloyd Miller who stained them; - to Sam Sweitzer and Doug Parsons for their earth moving and cultivation work in trans- forming the wilderness by the river into the beauty spot It is today; - to Fred Bischoff and his men, whose excellent workmanship in restoring the stone cairns at the entrance to the park will probably be still admired in 2067; - to C. A. McDowell, Limited and particularly Melon Seeder for their fine job in "bailing us out of the great bird bath con- troversy" by constructing the new fountain within record time; - to all members of the Ex- eter PUC and the Town work crews for their generous assist- ance beyond normal duties in preparing the Park for its of- ficial opening, especially to John Roelofs in painstakingly pre- paring the floral crest for plant- ing and for his careful attention to all aspects of planting in the park; - to Jim Paisley for his con- stant help and for his excellent work on the Lions footbridge and to Wellington Hem who answer- ed a call for assistance one summer Saturday; - to Don MacGregor for his faithful assistance in making the steel "shoes" for the pavilion and during the erection of the footbridges; - to the members of the three Exeter service organizations, the R. E. Pooley Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Exeter Lions Club and the Exeter Kins- men Club for their continuing support throughout the project; - to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Legion for assuming the role of recording Centennial events in pictures and for the use of their facilities for meetings; - to those members of the Kinsmen Club who spent many evenings at Ross Dobsonos work- shop building the footbridges, and to the kinettes who assisted in putting them in place; - to Lee 1:i -ebbe, whose ener- getic participation set an ex- ample for us all, and whose perseverance at the business end of a rake has greatly contrib- uted to the beauty of the park. Also to Chuck Snell for his help in preparing the seedbed along the south bank of the river; - to the Exeter Teen Town for donating the symbol of our celebrations the large centen- nial flag and flag pole; - to the Ausable River Con- servation Authority for its as- sistance in Making the entrance area land available ter develop- ment, to their staff from Park- bill for their efforts In building the retaining wall and in the early landscapieg bf the former Learn property; - to Mrs. Carl Hume, secret- ary-treastirer of the Authority for secretarial Services redder- ed; - to Eric Carscadden and Mts. Jean Keller for keeping straight the transactions associated with the development of the Park; - to the members of To wn Council for their patient fore- bearance in the face of rising costs as the work progressed and for their trust and confidence in our efforts; and speaking of patience, we wish to pay tribute to the wives and/or husbands of those who were involved in the work at the park for their understand- ing and sacrifice of the time' that would normally have been spent with them and their fam- ilies. In the writing, this letter has recalled many memories of '67, which will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Again, thanks to all those who made it memorable. If we have missed anyone, please consider yourselves thanked too; your omission here will never diminish your con- tribution. It has been a great honour and pleasure to work with the members of the Exeter Centennial Committee. Sincerely yours, J, T. McCauley Secretary, Exeter Centennial Committee.

I'm tired of newspapermen who dish up the news as if they were throwing swill to the pigs; poets and playwrights who haven't pro- gressed beyond Your letter words; TV producers who inspire us by raking in the muck instead of pointing to the stars and writers who continually dangle the bogey of Facism in front of us while dressing communism up like Santa Claes. tired of fat-cat Hnion bosses crying poverty while grinding their thuinbe into the eye of the fixed income consumer; of pulpit pundits who preach as if they had a direct einot to hea.Ven and a divine mandate to dictate the political philosophy di the Church— who proclaim "loVe thine enemies" so long as they don't saints the Stars and Stripeal I'm tired of being the Scape- goat for every last punk who ever Stole a cari beat up an old lady or pushed heroin.

The road committee of council recommended that some $58,000 of current funds be used to pay for the Main St. job, but cotincillop Joe Wooden last meeting argued that the Main Pt. work should not he done on the basis of limiting other more important sewage and street programs. The matter was debated at great length and then turned over to the finance committee, which Monday night recommended that $3Q,090 of current funds be used on the Main St, job. This recommendation Was ac- cepted by council. council received some good news when tenders were opened for the construction of the sanit- ary sewer from the pumping sta, tion to the east side of Main St. at the bridge. This work is being done to permit the installation of sanitary services in the north end of Exeter at a future date. Council accepted the bid of Framat Construction Limited, London, for $13,890. This was considerably lower than the esti- mate on the job. Council received one tender which was some $840 lower than the Framat bid, but chose the latter on the recommendation of works superintendent Jim Pais- ley. There were five tenders for the job, the highest being$24,963.25. paisley indicated the Framat firm would commence the work in the very near future. Noting the saving over the estimated price, Wooden suggest- Businesses `hire' pupils Several area businesses and industries have already agreed to cooperate in the "Work Week" planned by the grade 12 com- mercial class at SHDHS. Work week is scheduled for April 1 to 5 when members of the class will work in area of- fices to gain knowledge and ex- perience of office procedures. Commercial department head Don Webster reported that let- ters have been sent to about 100 firms to find placement for the 25 members of the class. The students' services will be free for the week. Hensall PUC plans changes The regular meeting of the Hensall Public Utilities Commis- sion was held on Tuesday, Feb- ruary 27 with all members pres- ent. Lengthy discussion took place regarding the Professional En- gineer's report on the local Pumping and Distribution of the Waterworks System. No definite action was taken until further investigation and discussion con- cerning possible changes has been completed by the Commis- sion. Hensall PUC will be co-oper- ating with South Huron District High School ie the student par- ticipation program where com- mercial students spend a week in on-the-job training. Discussion was made to have the office renovated as soon as possible. Manager Harry Page was instructed to have specifica- tions drawn Up for the proposed work, prior to calling for tend- ers.

The proposal to the chamber would have provided for the same split for the chamber with members of the organization responsible for hiring a dock- master. President Charles Tindall, who met with former dockmaster A. Dayman, explained that Mr. Day- man had worked long hours along the waterfront and had become a good friend to boatmen. Members of the chamber agreed that dockmaster Dayman would be difficult to'replace and felt that it did not want to be- come involved at this time with the project. Murray A. DesJardins was hir- ed as secretary of the Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce to replace Mrs. Shirley Keller who had resigned. Mr. DesJar- dins commenced his new duties on March 1. Directors also agreed to pro- vide information booth workers with jackets and caps to be worn during working hours. Feeling was that the uniforms would do a great deal to improve the first impressions of tourists who call at the office for directions and assistance. As well, it was decided to hire a senior and a junior information booth clerk, the senior choice to have responsibility for records which must be accurately kept. stalling underground. cable in SeC , Lions the Pew, subdivision if ApproYel is received ,from the PUC.
