Debate. guidel.i.nes for lighting
The matter of decorative
Christmas. lighting came up for
cnooderabie discussion - at
Exeter .council Monday.
A letter had been received from
the local PUC, noting that
Utilities were being requested by
Ontario Hydro and the ministry
of energy to cooperate by not
turning on decorative lights
before 7:00 p.m. and turning
them off by midnight this year in
an effort to conserve energy.
The policy as stated in the
letter was as follows: "while it is
desirable to achieve conservation
of energy, and to use energy
wisely, not wastefully, everyone
recognizes Christmas lighting as
being part of the good spirit of
Christmas. Neither the govern-
ment or Hydro wishes to darken
that spirit, but appeals' to the
public to turn on decorative
lighting .after the dinner hour and
turn it off before retiring. It's a
good conservative habit".

IN LOVING MEMORY
OF MARJ JORY
Whose kind ways will
always be remembered
by the management and
staff at Gould & Jory,
by the PVC.
However, other members noted
that the supper hour was already
a peak period for hydro use and
they opined that an earlier
starting time may not be ad-
viseable,
"We don't need them on in the
middle of November," Mayor
Jack Deibridge argued and he
was told that the. PUC planned to
have the street decorations
turned on only after December 1.
"Do we need them on then?"
the Mayor asked,
"Three solid weeks in
December should be enough,"
Councillor Bruce Shaw argued,
while Boyle again voiced his
opoinion they should be on all
winter to make the town brighter
and cheerier.
Council finally approved a
motion suggesting to the PVC
that the lights be turned on from
the period of December 1 to
January 4.
The time of day to be chosen
will be discussed further.
PUC workmen started to erect
the street decorations this week.
PUC manager Hugh Davis
reported that the Exeter PVC
would follow the suggestions and
would solicit the support of the
PVC customers to follow its
example.
He noted that due to the un-
favorable comment received last
year regarding lighting, he was
also forwarding a copy of the
letter to T-A editor Bill Batten.
Last year, this newspaper
complained that the local PUC
gave no directions to local
ratepayers in view of the energy
crisis that was apparent at that
time.
However, council members
had some difficulty in deciding
what amount of time the
decorative lighting should be on
this year.
Reeve Derry Boyle suggested
none be put up because not
having them turned on until 7:00
p.m. was not worth the effort.
Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn
suggested they should be turned
on from 6:00 to 11:00 or even 5:00
to 10:00, noting this would be
preferable to the times suggested
MEASURING SUITS — Getting ready for the Hospital Auxiliary's Fall Rummage sale is a lot of work. Here

Deaf couple visiting,
first across Atlantic
animated conversations without
the use of speech.
A trip abroad is a major under-
taking for anyone but for one
deaf couple, Robin and Margaret
Hawes, visiting here from
England their trip has been a
major undertaking and they are
thrilled.
Mr. and Mrs. Hawes are
visiting in Exeter for one month
with Mr. and Mrs. Dave Worby
of Exeter, and hope they will be
able to return to Canada soon.
The Hawes are members of
the Suffolk Centre Deaf Club in
Ipswich, England and this trip
will ensure them the honour of
travelling farther than any of
their fellow club members.
Mr. and Mrs. Hawes have
travelled extensively throughout
the British Isles and Europe but
this has been their first trip
across the Atlantic.
In an interview this week the
couple said they were most im-
pressed by the houses in Canada
which are so large compared to
those at home and all different,
unlike the British houses which
tend to be similar.
While staying in Exeter they
have had an opportunity to visit
some of the shopping centres and
were quite pleased with the
shopping here. They have also
seen Niagara Falls which they
feel was perhaps the highlight of
the trip.
Robin and Margaret knew the
Worby's before they moved to
Canada but have not seen them
for about ten years.
The Hawes have been married
for 7 years and live in Ipswich,
where Robin works for a flour
company and Margaret is
employed by a tobacco company.
Unable to speak, the Hawes
make themselves easily un-
derstood by the use of sign
language using both hands. The
Worby's learned this language
while in England and both
couples are able to carry on

To the Editor:
As a parent my heart was
saddened, like thousands of
others by the senseless tragedy
that took the life from three in-
nocent children last week while
waiting for a school bus.
You may say to yourselves
"well that was in the Blenheim
area not ours." But I would like
you to know that that type of a
situation. is happening right at
your front door, yes in our area.
There was one such incident
that took place on Highway 4 a
week ago Friday, but luckily the
only victim was the mail box.
This has not been the only in-
cident in the past year, but one of
two others within the same area.
My plea, is for the public to
become aware and to start
marking down licence numbers
of these CARELESS maniacs
that sit behind the wheel of these
vehicles.
They neither heed nor stop for
the warning flashing lights of the
school buses.
Our police force can only be in
just so many places at one time.
So it is up to all of us to shoulder
some responsibility not only for
our children, but for our neigh-
bours children and for otir school
bus drivers. To try to bring these
menacing traffic violators to
task, so that one or two of our
children do not just become
another statistic.
