Pension plan gets interest Some members of Exeter council have expressed interest in a pension plan now available for elected municipal officials, but no action was taken on the matter. Provincial Treasurer Darcy McKeough has announced that members of council can join the Ontario Municipal Employees' Retirement System, .the same fund into which staff members pay. It .was the feeling of most members that the pension plan would be of more interest to councillors in larger cities where stipends are higher. Mayor Jack Delbridge pointed out the pension "wouldn't be much" for local officials drawing between $600 to $1,000 per annum for their stay on councils. Reeve Derry Boyle said he hesitated to endorse the plan because it is stipulated that all present council members must sign up as well as all future council members. "The thing I don't like is that we have to commit future councils," he said. Members agreed to think about the matter until next meeting. Keith Hook up from Toronto to stay with her own brother, Michael, 11. Keith lives in an Ontario Housing Unit and is not used to the open-air life of a small community. This is the whole idea of the program as Judy sees it. With the help of friends, she is trying to choose kids from Ontario Housing areas and from the downtown core who need it the most and will benefit most from such an exchange. Thus far, the program seems to be working out well. Keith and Michael are having a ball, especially in the Burke's pool these last few days of hot weather. They are also taking part in the recreation program, in addition to other summertime activites such as hiking, and exploring. Judy's biggest problem is trying to get host families for the city children. She spoke to several people, including com- munity ministers, last weekend, and in general, received a favorable response. "The kids especially are very enthusiastic about it," said Judy. "I should be able to do it for very little cost, and I hope to be able to establish some sort of car pool to take care of tran- sportation," Alvin Willert, RAP recreation director has offered free passes to various activities for the kids Judy brings from Toronto. Building permits are approved Several building permits were approved by Exeter council this week. All are subject to final approval by the building in- spector. A permit was approved for Jim Scott to build a second storey to his home on Sanders St. West. Contractor Milt Keller explained that the setback was fractionally less than required and the building inspector would not rule on the matter, preferring council to make the decision. The existing setback is five feet and about seven is required. Members of council approved the permit with no opposition. Other permits approved were as follows: Mrs. Cliff Moore, to shingle part of house at 108 Simcoe; Paul Pridhomme, to build a storage shed at 254 Marlboro; Milt Keller, to replace porch at Norm Walper's house at 61 Sanders E.; William Snell, to shingle part of roof at 70 James; William Marshall, to build new foundation wall under garage at 499 Market; Garnet Hicks, to shingle roof for Mrs. Arthur Rundle and Harold Wolfe. District officials prep for 'crisis' Several area residents were in Wingham yesterday for a one- day regional hospital planning conference, a tune-up for a full- scale simulated disaster exercise in October. The workshop included films and discussions in a program sponsored by the Ontario Hospital Association. Included in the program was a workshop where delegates had to cope with a simulated disaster somewhere in the area —but only on paper. This "paper disaster" is part of the pre-planning for the full-scale exercise — much like army games — which will take place in the fall. It will involve hospitals, amateur radio operators, police, ambulance firms and others needed in disaster work. Atending from the area were Mrs, Jean Wilson and Mrs. Audrey Pooley of South Huron Hospital, Exeter Polite Chief Ted Day, Reeve Derry Boyle and Jim Hoffman of Hoffmatt'S Ambulance, Dashwood, The Zurich midgets upped their unbeaten streak in Western Ontario Athletic Association league play to six games with a double victory during the week. Sunday, the Zurich youngsters edged Hanover 12 - 9 and Monday night in a very well played contest they edged Goderich 4.2. Two runs in the bottom of the sixth allowed the Zurich team to gain Monday's victory over Goderich. Gerald Weido led off the inning with a single and scored the game winner on John Mommersteeg's double. Mom- mersteeg counted the insurance run on Jim Wildfong's single. The first Zurich run came in the first inning when Weido walked and scored on three consecutive errors. In the second Harvey Desjardine singled and came home on a wild pitch and an error. John Mommersteeg started on the Zurich mound and was relieved in the last inning by Pat Bedard. Walks provided the Zurich club with a lot of base runners in the win over Hanover as they scored worked out, however. But if ambition and initiative are any indication, Judy will make the program work, She has finished her second year in Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Waterloo, but has taken the last year off. During that time, she and girl-friend hitched out west for 6 weeks, and saved so much money that they flew on to Hawaii, She also worked with retarded children at the Mid- western Children's Centre near Palmerston, Now, in addition to her work with the "Y", she is trying to set up a leadership program for an Opportunities For Youth program in Toronto, to help those involved with their planning and organization. Judy Burke is a busy girl, but if she can get her exchange program in operation, she will make a lot of children very happy. was Harvey Desjardine, Pat Bedard, Gerald Weido, Don Pat Bedard and John MOtna Ayotte, Rick Grenier led the mersteeg again shared the pit. Zurich batting attack with two ching duties for Zurich. For several years now, various civic-minded church and service groups have made a special attempt each summer to set up camps and other recreational programs so that city children can get out into the country for a few weeks. But an Exeter girl, Judy Burke is trying on her own to set up an urban-rural exchange, for the same purpose. For the past few weeks, she has been working as water-front director for the North-York YMCA in Toronto, and she is learning for herself just what summer life in the city can be like. "I went down there and I had no idea what it could be like," she said. This week Judy put her plan into experimental operation, when she brought 13-year old For reasons of time, .Judy thinks she will only be able to provide the opportunity to 10 or 15 Toronto children, She is hoping however, that the experience she gains this summer will give her an edge on an Opportunities For Youth grant for next year, so that she could set up a similar program, but on a much larger scale. Her initial idea was to have a true exchange, with the rural host child returning to the city to be a guest of the city child, She would still like to do this, but doesn't know if it will be possible, Her brother, for example, isn't the least anxious to return to Toronto with Keith. He doesn't think he would like the city. This part of the program has yet to be an even dozen runs on only nine hits apiece, Getting the odd Mt hits.
