Will dispense
with dinner
Exeter council's inaugural will
be held on January 2 and for the
first time in a number of years,
will not include a dinner.
Council agreed Monday to
dispense with the customary
dinner after the matter was
broached by Mayor Delbridge.
He suggested dropping the
dinner and having one later in
February or March with all
elected and appointed officials on
hand. He also wondered whether
the firemen and town employees,
should be invited.
"It's getting out of hand,"
commented Councillor Torn
MacMillan. He said most em-
ployees were now bargaining for
salaries and benefits and if a
dinner was to be included they
should bargain for it too.
He also indicated some op-
position to council's decision
made earlier in the evening to
provide all employees with a
turkey for Christmas.
He said it resulted from the
type of thinking evident 40 years
ago.
"I'll go along with Tom,"
Councillor Ken Ottewell in-
terjected. "It's a type of graft."
Council did agree to have a
minister on hand for the
inaugural.
"It's a good idea, let's get
started off on the right foot,"
commented Mrs. Jermyn.

Air views on 'Big Toe',

RR 1, Hay, Ont.

Dec. 5, 1972
Mr. Editor:
Regarding Chief Day's
opinions and concern over the
local Coffee House "The Big
Toe."
It appears to me that Chief Day
is totally against the concept of a
Coffee House and is set on
destroying it before it is given a
chance,
These "accusations" were for
the most part unfounded and
grossly exaggerated. Has there
never before been a stolen car
found in the area? Have our
liquor laws never before been
violated? Note, drugs were found
"outside" the Coffee House not
"inside."
If the Chief is so concerned, he
should first have discussed these
problems with the Big Toe per-
sonnel and if necessary penalized
those involved before anything of
this sort is sold to the public in
print.
Criticism when offered "con-
structively" is beneficial to both
parties involved and is generally
welcomed but when offered
"destructively" it is not only
harmful and cruel as in this case
but it gives the public a very one
sided opinion.
Yours truly
Bert & Tina Vissc her
P.S. Mr. Editor we expect equal
space in this week's paper for the
rebuttal from those staffing the
Coffee House.
* *
Dear Sir,
In reply to Chief Day's concern
with the 'Big Toe' coffee house, I
would like to point out just a few
presumptions that he has made
regarding the various articles of
circumstantial evidence he has
discovered.
A stolen car found in the
"immediate area" of the coffee
house is also presumably in the
immediate area of other well
known stores. Perhaps they are
trading in stolen goods under the
counter, or perhaps there is a
special mail order department
for those customers "in the
know".
— A great number of youths
visiting the coffee house are from
out of town . . Heavens! Aliens!
Are all visitors to Exeter
suspicious characters? Are they
to be frisked on entry?
— On one instance youths were
seen leaving the premises
carrying bedrolls at 7:00 a.m.
(Did the police in their sur-
veillance miss them entering at
6.45 a.m. to pick up their bed
rolls?) It is well known, surely
that bed rolls, knapsacks, etc.,
are part of the transient youth
uniform.
— On November 26th, the
coffee house did not close until
1.45 a.m. In the summer the
Derby Dip closes at 2.00 a.m.,
therefore surely it must too suffer
the same fate as the coffee house!
— And so on!
It must be presumed that Chief
Day and the Exeter Police
Department have the good of the
community at heart, The coffee
house is also part of the com-
munity, or at least struggling to
be so.
The seemingly negative ap-
proach of the police, and their
determination to close the 'Big
Toe' down as soon as possible is
disappointing.
If they are after specific in-
dividuals, as they have implied in
the past, because these in-
dividuals are a hazard to the
community and are stepping
outside the law, then all well and
good, but to sacrifice the efforts
of many of the youths of the town
because of the escapades and
dubious characters of a few in-
dividuals is particularly short
sighted.
The over-enthusiastic sur-
veillance of the police on the
coffee shop is questionable at a
time when the `Big Toe' needs all
the help it can get - rather than
veiled threats of closure.
Surely it would have been
better for the Chief to have first
approached the adults and the
youths involved with running the
place, rather than letting them
know of his views through the
press?
Yours faithfully,
David S.S. Brooks, Esq.
To the Editor
Last Friday evening I looked
out my window to admire the
effect of newly fallen snow, and
saw instead two sets of
snowmobile tracks through the
exact centre of the flower bed
which is located in the middle of
my front lawn. •
Being a devout coward, I have
no desire to charge outdoors in
nightgown and bare feet to make
a fruitless attempt to read the
number on a fast-moving vehicle.
Therefore I cannot approach our
police force with my complaint.
That is why I make this appeal
to all snowmobilers in this town.
If we must endure your noise and
air pollution, at least have
enough respect for the ecological
attempts of others to please,
please, please spare our
flowers.
Some of us derive our simple
pleasure from looking at the
silent beauty of a winter land-
scape bathed in moonlight. At
least allow us the right to do so on
our own property,
Lorne Johnston has returned to
St. Joseph's Hospital as a patient.
Mr. & Mrs. Lewis Davey,
Exeter, celebrated their 45th
wedding anniversary on
November 30. A family dinner
was held at the home of their
daughter Mrs. Reg. (Leona)
Elliott, Staffa. They also have
one son, Donald, RR 1 Exeter and
seven grandchildren.
musically in bands and song,
dancing artistically and banners
flying, I am more convinced than
ever that our own area children
could do equally as well if only
given the leadership and op-
portunity, We are so lacking in
both of these fields.
Could a band not be started in
the elementary level and con-
tinued through secondary school?
These children who are doing
band work are both having and
giving so much pleasure.
I see the artistic ability of our
own South Huron every year at
the forinal dance. A tremendous
expression of talent, Let us see
more of it.
For several years now we have
listened to very lovely evenings
of music produced by our own
adults of the area under the
leadership of one who is so very
musical but not with letters after
her name. What happens when
these adults can no longer per-
form and no young people take
their places?
We put so much emphasis on
qualifications for everything and
