The present rates are $75 and $60. The firemen's total rate of pay comes to $70 per hour on each call and members noted that it was necessary to recoup some of the maintenance and equipment During that year since the signals were requested by county council, one man had died and two have been injured in two accidents with trains. in single crash Damages of $450 were recorded in the only accident of the week investigated by the Exeter police department. Vehicles driven by George Carman Ryder, 252 John Street, Aylmer and Howard Kerslake, 323 William, Exeter were in collision on Main Street, just north of James, early Saturday afternoon. The mishap was investigated by Constable Ardell McIntyre. °I program Exeter's dust layer program started last week, but was halted after several problems arose. Works superintendent Glen Kells told council this week he asked the contractor to cease operations until he had enough sand trucks available to keep up with the oiling. In addition, weather conditions were far from ideal. And, to add insult to injury, five local ratepayers complained their vehicles were splattered with oil and one truck was pitted when sand was whipped against it. The complaints were turned over to the town's solicitor.

However, it also crossed my mind that I have to clean out pigs, work extremely long hours, and work overtime at harvest and planting time, besides numerous other jobs that, no matter how unpleasant, must be done, It seems unreasonable that, in an area where the majority of the people = are from an agricultural background, that a few (the teachers) should be able to profit so handsomely from the majority. It seems worse this year, when most of the farmers are suffering from the lowest prices for their commodities that have ever been experienced, when we know that our land is going to be taxed higher to provide the teachers with their extremely comfortable living. And whether the revenue comes from federal or provincial grants, it still comes from our pocketbook. I do believe that if this society is to continue, we must all realize that the service which we as individuals render is not the Only one, and that when we con- tinually ask for more and more this generally means that someone also important to the community, even though he provides a commodity as unessential as food, will have less. Yours truly, Alvin Cudmore Perturbed over place mat data At the urging of Reeve Derry Boyle, Exeter will file a "strong objection" to place mats which have been prepared for promotion purposes by the County of Huron, Reeve Boyle became irate when he saw the place mats when he picked up some to hand out to the campers coming to town on the weekend of June 18-20. The place mats show a map of the Town of Goderich, with a few arrows pointing to such places as Stratford, Owen Sound and Tobermory. "They point everywhere but Exeter," the Reeve told council, adding the criticism that the place mats should have ad- vertised the county and not Goderich.. The Townships of Usborne, Hay and Stephen will be asked for an increase in the amount they pay for calls by the Exeter fire department in their municipalities. Exeter council decided this week to increase the charge to Work on the flashing signals and bells at the Crediton Road crossing of the CNR is expected to commence in the "near future" according to Huron County engineer Jim Britnell. He made this known in a letter to three area reeves who were checking into the matter after the crossing was the scene of another accident two weeks ago, Stephen Reeve John Dietrich, Usborne Reeve Lloyd Ferguson and Exeter Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor had questioned Britnell regarding the signals at a recent meeting of county council. He advised them that signals had never been approved for the crossing. In a letter to the three this week, he pointed out he was wrong and listed the dates on which the matter had been discussed. June 16, 1970 — the county road committee asked the Railway transport Committee to the Canadian Transport Commission to have signals erected. July 17 — the secretary of the RTC acknowledged the letter and arranged an inspection of the crossing by their engineers. This was held on October 21. Nov. 19 the RTC advised that it was prepared to recommend that $15,000 be spent to install the lights with the federal govern- ment paying 80 percent, the county 121/2 and the CNR 71/2 . The annual maintenance of $650 was to be split 50-50 With the railway and the county. Feb. 25, 1971 — The board issued an order authorizing the work. May 5 — Copies of the plan from the CNR showing their proposed work was approved by the county. Although Britnell explained that it has taken a little longer than usual to get the signals in- stalled, "it usually takes a full year since it requires the ap- proval of so many different bodies".

Bowes MANAGER costs incurred annually by the department as well as the annual stipends and training fees "'paid the firemen. "We have to have the cost out of it," Mayor Jack Delbridge advised, although he suggested the rate asked should be set with the realization that the township residents are important to the Exeter economy. He indicated he was not in favor of taking the steps suggested by Don Owens of the Fire Marshal's office in his report filed for council a year ago. Owens suggested that Exeter should consider buying the fire truck outright and then charge the townships for protection. (Exeter and the three townships shared the original cost of the fire truck.) It was also recommended by Owens that Exeter not provide protection over a five-mile radius and later in discussing the report with council, he said the township residents were not paying their fair share of the annual costs. Mayor Delbridge said this week there was no way Exeter could protect only a five mile ,radius. Discussion on the rates was held to provide a committee with some suggestions when they meet with representatives of the townships to re-negotiate a new agreement. That meeting was planned for last night, although Councillor Ross Taylor at- tempted to get it postponed until Councillor Helen Jermyn could attend. "She's worked on it and has the right to sit in on it," Taylor suggested and complained that council members were "trying to step around the chairman." Mrs. Jermyn has just returned from hospital. Reeve Boyle noted the agreement discussion had been kicked around for a year and the deadline of August 1 would soon be reached. He didn't think council could delay the meeting. Councillor Ottewell suggested the protection to persons and property committee could get started on the matter and perhaps Mrs. Jermyn would be able to get in on the discussion before it was settled.
