TO ALL
SEPARATE SCHOOL SUPPORTERS
IN
Hay Township, Zurich and Hensall
Having been nominated as a candidate for the new com-
bined Separate School Board for Huron and Perth, to
represent Hay Township, Zurich and Hensall, I consider
it an honour and pledge myself to serve you all to the
best of my ability.
If elected I will do my utmost to lower our mill rate and
cut down expenditures that are not necessary in our pres-
ent school system. Realizing full well that the biggest
part of our taxes today are going to education, I feel that
through sound administration and well qualified teachers
we can give our children a good Christian education.
I have served on our local school board as a trustee as
well as chairman et St. Marie School, on Highway 21, for
seven years. I also served four years on the South Huron
District High School board as the representative for the
Catholic schools in Hay and Stephen townships.
With my experience and your support I am sure we can
achieve the goal we are striving for. Your assistance at
the polls on Monday, December 2, will be sincerely ap-
preciated.

they favor tile reduction of the
homher of councillors from, six
to four members.
The question resulted in a
lively 4iscussion at the
nomination end indicated that
present elected officials Are split
in their oPillinns•
The suggestion to reduce the
number of councillors was
broached earlier this year by
Mayor Jack Delbridge and it was
finally decided to leave the
matter up to the electors,
"We're over-governed," the
Mayor said Wednesday in
backing his contention that a
smaller council is warranted. He
noted that each man on Exeter
council represents 355 people,
while at most other levels the
ratio is many times greater.
He explained that larger
communities such as
Leamington and Paris had
smaller councils and suggested a
smaller council would be an
asset in that it could deal with
things as intelligently and
possibly quicker than one
comprised of more members.
Delbridge also noted that the
taxes on two average residences
is now required to pay for the
two members who could be
dropped.
Councillor George Vriese
supported him, noting that a
smaller council could be more
active.
Former Mayor Eldrid
Simmons also spoke in favor of a
reduced number, pointing to the
efficient manner in which RAP
now operates. He said it had
once consisted of three separate
groups with about 20 members
and was doing the job now with
seven and there was no move to
switch it back,
Councillor Ross Taylor led
the opposition against the move
to reduce the number.
"I'm really against it," he
said, noting that only about two
area communities the size of
Exeter had smaller councillors.
"Are all the rest wrong?" he
questioned.
Taylor said his biggest fear
was that of having three
councillors absent from a
meeting, but this argument was
answered when it was pointed
out that only once in recent
years had this ever occurred at a
meeting.
"If council could be
hand-picked, a smaller number
would be okay," stated retiring
councillor Jim Newby. However,
he said the larger number
provided greater possibility for
more knowledge being available
at meetings and in his opinion
this out-weighed the tax saving
which would result from
dropping two members.
Ted Wright, who resigned
from council mid-way through
his term last year, said he was
not convinced the smaller body
was the right thing, although he

"I have no experience, but I
could always learn," he said.
Richardson, who has been an
observer at several council
meetings in the past two years,
was told by PUC chairman Ted
Pooley that he should not
consider himself an outsider.
"You're one of us now," Mr.
Pooley remarked.

Pooley and Murray Greene were

amounted to more than
$113,800 in 1968 while 25
municipal drains were planned.
He explained that a shortage
of bidders for work on
municipal drains had put some
of the jobs well behind schedule.
He predicted the drains would
be completed as soon as the
weather allows.
Dundas dealt with the subject
of roads in his report. He
defended council's investment to
stock pile gravel from the
township's own pit by noting it
will be possible to put gravel on
the road for $1.90 a yard instead
of the $2.25 per yard it cost in
1968.
Reeve James Hayter and
deputy-reeve Joe Dietrich spoke
about their work on county
council.
Discussing county assessing,
Dietrich said the new system
would cost the county about
$150,000 annually. Salaries for
assessors range from about
$5,000 to $10,500. He predicted
business tax on every business
"no matter how small".
Others who spoke were
chairman Jack Morrissey, Lloyd
Lamport, Ross Brown, Harry
Hayter, Ed. Hendrick, Arnold
McCann and Wilmar Wein.
The Exeter unit of the
FWTAO held its regular meeting
at the Crediton Community
Centre recently.
Following the dinner
meeting, guest speaker Mrs. W.
Garbos of Stephen Central staff
showed slides of a visit to
Europe.
Two of Exeter's most popular
councillors, who will not be
seeking election this year, used
their time at Wednesday's
nomination to present some
ideas they hoped next year's
council would consider.
Joe Wooden suggested gg
council would have to service
the entire community with
sewers as quickly as possible due
to the fact a portion of the
general tax levy goes towards
this service.
MISS HAZEL SNELL
Miss Hazel Snell passed away
suddenly at South Huron
Hospital Thursday at the age of
78 years.
The deceased spent most of
her life in this community. For
the past 20 years she resided in
Exeter. She was a member of
James St. United Church and in
her younger days sang in the
choir.
She is the last survivor of the

Sidney Snell. A brother, Heber,

"People who don't have
sewers are paying towards this
cost and should get them as soon
as possible," he commented.
The high school principal also
suggested the structure of rates
should be reviewed in view of
rising construction costs.
He said there was a
probability that the present
frontage, connection and
surcharge rates were not
adequate.
In the matter of planning, he

urged consideration for a
subdivision control bylaw and a
part lot control bylaw and also
said there was a need to
encourage growth within the
municipality.
Noting there had been more
building outside the community
than in it during recent years, he
said council may have to review
the things required of
subdividers to attract more
building inside Exeter.
He said the vacant land
within the community could
house up to 8,000 people and
suggested growth should take
place within urban areas and not
spread onto farm land.
In conclusion he said
communities should look
towards the high school facilities
for recreational purposes,
meetings, etc.
He said it was with a great
"reluctance" that he was unable
to stand for council again. He
termed his seven years as being
educational, enjoyable and an
enriching experience.
Later in the meeting, former
Mayor Eldrid Simmons moved a
vote of thanks to Wooden and
Al Pickard for the work the two
men did on the planning
program for Exeter.
"The town owes them a
hearty vote of thanks,"
Simmons stated.
BACK AT IT
Former councillor Ted Wright
said his big beef was the fact
that now Main St. is again
opened there are a number of
businessmen parking on it and
trucks are double-parking.
He pointed out that the
reconstruction of Main St. had
proven both these things
unnecessary and suggested a
little more enforcement could
halt the practices.
Wright also urged that South
Huron Hospital officials consider
setting up an ambulance service
at the area hospital.
He noted that a man recently
injured in Exeter only one and a
half blocks from the hospital
had waited more than a half an
hour for an ambulance to arrive.
He said many hospitals now
operate ambulance services and
this should be considered here.
In his remarks, Deputy-Reeve
Mery Cudmore had suggested
that Exeter citizens would have
to consider extensive
renovations to the town hall or
even a replacement.
He pointed out the cracks
were getting larger and suggested
council should impliment a plan
to pave the way for either of the
two alternatives.
However, R. D. Jermyn
wondered about the situation.
He noted that Reeve Boyle had
said the municipal council would
disappear, Mayor Delbridge
wanted a reduced number and
Councillor Joe Wooden was
urging more use of high school
facilities for meetings.
Jermyn appeared to question
the need of a town hall as a
meeting place at all.
