Readers write about peace festival, pollution, access
Dear Editor:
The story carried in the
Exeter Times Advocate about
the assessment reduction granted
by a Huron County court is by
implication most unfair to the
hog producer mentioned.
The location of the hog barn
from the plaintiff's premises is
well beyond the very carefully
considered distances contained
in the new Code of Practice as
developed by the joint efforts of
the Ontario Water Resources
Commission, the Air
Management Branch and the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food.
In addition, the McGregors
have complied fully with other
criteria in the Code of Practice
and with local health authorities.
The McGregors, like farmers
generally, are prepared to accept
their responsibility in keeping air
and water pollution to
reasonable levels. If this award
for relief from taxes becomes a
precedent, it means that any
taxpayer can challenge the
whole assessment structure by
alleging his property is devalued
because of a real, transitory or
imagined odour.
The source could be five miles
away and it could be any
number of industries besides
farming, e.g. - meat packing,
chemical, tannery, pulp mill, etc.
It would be wonderful to live
in a country which was fresh as a
sea-breeze all the time but
people seem to need jobs and all
the money that comes from the
productivity of those people
willing to endure the risk of
operating a business and
applying the effort needed.
We are supporting the
Federation of Agriculture to
press for an appeal of this ruling
and to urge the Ontario
government to provide
reasonable assurances that
farmers can carry on an already
risk loaded business without
harassment and uncertain
guidelines,
Yours sincerely,
C, James Boynton,
Secretary-Manager
lead, *woe et
Dear Sir:
In reply to last week's timely
editorial ". . . And the enemy is
us!", I wholeheartedly agree
with your view that the current
pollution situation will never be
improved until it becomes more
than an exercise in
fingerpointing.
During this past week we
have heard the Governor of
Michigan accuse Ontario
industry of being the major
culprit, while the Governor of
Ohio has pointed the finger at
industries in both Michigan and
Ontario, and is threatening legal
action against the responsible
parties.
Surely, in view of recent
reports that our years on this
planet are numbered, it is time
that the general public
demanded more from its elected
officials than political bickering
and legal hassles.
In regard to "our muddy
polluted Ausable", I would like
to point out that the staff of the
Ausable River conservation
Authority have been involved in
a bi-monthly water sampling
program for the past four years.
The Authority carried out
this program, sampling at nine
sites in the Ausable watershed in
co-operation with the Ontario
Water Resources Commission,
the provincial agency responsible
for water quality.
After each sampling run, the
samples are taken to the
0,W,11.0. lab, in London for
analysis, and shortly thereafter
the Authority receives a report
of the conform bacteria count
present in each of the samples.
If a count exceeding 2,400
coliforms per 100 millilitres is
measured, the water is
considered unfit for bathing
purposes,
On certain occasions in 1969,
the tributaries of the Ausable
yielded readings as high as
400,000 coliforms per 100 ml.,
an indication of very severe
pollution. At other times during
the past year samples were taken
which proved to be completely
free of conform bacteria.
Such a reading would indicate
that the water was fit for human
consumption.
As only one of the
Authority's water sampling sites
is located in the immediate
Exeter area (the Highway No. 83
bridge at the western limits of
town), I am in agreement with
you that a water sampling
program involving students and
staff of South Huron District
High School could prove most
interesting.
A similar "pollution patrol"
program has recently been
established at the Simcoe
Secondary School in
cooperation with the Big Creek
Region Conservation Authority.
On behalf of the Authority, I
would like to offer any
assistance necessary to the
setting up of such a program at
South Huron High.
Certainly one objective of
pollution patrol would be the
building up of a case history of
suspected pollution sources.
However, in order to ensure
that such a program does not
degenerate into another "finger
pointing exercise" the program
Should he conducted' in an
instructional and .educational
manner.
The phrase "learning
experience" is a popular one in
educational circles these days.
For the students of S,H.D.H.S.
this "learning experience" may
be a matter of life. and death!

Editor,
The Exeter Times-Advocate,
Exeter, Ontario.
Dear Sir:
Your issue of March 5th,
carried a news item "Three Die
in House Blaze" at Huron Park.
It is in this direction or vein we
would kindly ask you to print
the following few lines.
We, the parents, three
brothers and three sisters of
Jacqueline Marie (Mrs. Dennis
Carey, mother of Dwayne and
Denise) in the A.M. of Sunday,
March 1st, received a most
saddening message from a grief
stricken husband, and,
son-in-law, that Jacky and the
two children were dead caused
by the house blaze.
This message, left us in shock
and grief, to say the least.
Through the news media,
when the tragedy became known
in our area, we were offered
messages of sympathy, visits,
etc., so it seemed by all the
population in our area. In
sharing our sorrow, we were
helped and comforted during
this period.
Sir, what was very comforting
raenpdo r tcsobnrs 00 ul ignhg t to also,
us and
were atths oe
printed in your paper, of the
efforts made to help at the time
of the fire, the offerings of help,
sympathies expressed in so many
ways afterwards.
To the firefighters, neighbors,
and all who helped in many
ways, to friends of Jacqueline
and Dennis, whom we did not
know personally, who sent us
messages and letters of comfort
and sympathy, we are most
thankful and appreciative.
To all we wish the very best
of luck and good will.
Mr. Editor, thanking you very
much for printing these few lines
of appreciation, we remain
Yours truly,
Mr. & Mrs. James Blinkhorn,

196 Wilson St.,
Goderich, Ont.,
Mon., April 13.
Dear Sir:
In the healthy spirit of
vigorous debate, I wish to
comment on the apparent
"light-hearted" reaction of the
Exeter Town Council with
regard to a Goderich resolution
seeking improved highway access
from Huron and Perth Counties
to the MacDonald-Cartier
Freeway:
It is not my intention to
belittle the members of Council
for their decision not to support
that resolution but, I am
disturbed by two comments that
were published in the Exeter
Times-Advocate last week.
a. "They've got holes in their
heads," Reeve Derry Boyle
commented, and b.Mayor Jack
Delbridge,. saying he had read
the Goderich plan in the paper,
said it was "the stupidest thing I
ever read."
If this is the attitude that our Municipal Couneillors have
toward anything progressive
which might be a positive step
toward the development of our
`isolated' region, then it is no
wonder that, in some ways,
Huron County is still living in
the 19th Century!
It is quite evident that Mayor
Delbridge and Reeve Boyle have
not been doing their political
homework on planning and
development.
I wish to quote (for the
benefit of those who do not
have access to it) a paragraph
from the Program for
Development 1969.73 published
by MODA and prepared by the
Planning and Resources Institute
of the University of Waterloo in
conjunction with the
Midwestern Ontario Regional
Development Council:
"Highway connections to
points within and beyond the
region are badly needed in
several sections of the
four-county area. The industrial
development of the urban core
of Waterloo, South-Wellington
Counties requires much
improved access to Hamilton
Harbour and its surrounding
region. The relative 'isolation' of
Huron and Western Perth
Counties would be very much
improved by an adequate link or
links from Stratford to 401
Highway and to the urban core
area of Kitchener-Waterloo, thus
providing direct access to the
Toronto region. Further
development of the tourist
industry, which could assume an
important role in the economy
of large portions of the region,
requires - improved routes
through Huron County ..."
For what WS worth,
gentlemen, as the prime
instigator of that resolution
seeking a feasibility study, I do
not respond with pleasure to the
NO of insight that some
Councillors exhibit in dealing
with matter that may have a
bearing on the future
development of their region of
Ontario.

After leading the opposition
against the proposed Peace
Festival for the Parkhill area,
McGillivray township Reeve
George Dixon received only one
letter condemning his stand on
rejecting the festival.
The festival scheduled for
McGillivray township in an area
near the Parkhill Dam was
finally postponed when the
municipality passed a bylaw
restricting the use of lands for
purposes other than for
agriculture.
Following are the contents of
the letter received by Mr. Dixon
from a London youth and his
reply.
Mr. Dixon:
This brief note concerns the
once proposed Peace Festival at
Parkhill. If you don't wish to be
insulted stop reading now.
Although I am only a youth of
15 I will tell you out-rightly
what I think of you.
You are an ignorant, old fogie
who thinks this is the nineteenth
century, and thats where you
should he, You have no feeling
for the young generation
because you didn't even give us a
chance..
You shot Karma Productions
and 500,000 right down. Even
the young people in your own
area .and London you wouldn't
give a damn for..
Dixon, people like you make
me sick. You know what? I
don't give a damn. PEACE (if
you can take it.)
Dear
My apologies for the delay in
answering your letter of April 2.
However, as it is the only one
that I received that condemned
the stand I took along with my
council, I feel that you deserve a
reply.
First of all let's ponder for
one moment on the word peace.
I notice that you are fifteen
years old. About thirteen years
before you were born thousands
of Canadians, among whom I
have no doubt you had relatives,
fought for home and country.
Many of these brave men are
now lying beneath the sod in far .
off lands. These people gave
their lives so that you along with
millions of others might enjoy
freedom. Do you take time on
Remembrance Day to pause and
pay a silent tribute to these
people that you and I owe so
much to?
In regards to the sentence "If
you don't wish to be insulted
stop reading now, "I consider
the personalized stationery that
you used the most impressive
part of your "brief note".
Your next sentence
concerning "ignorant, old fogie"
and that I "Belong in the
nineteenth century". I suppose
