was in bad condition, and he
would not want to be responsble
for a situation similar to, that in
Listowel several years ago where
the arena collapsed and killed
some young hockey players.
He also said council should
undertake better communication
between themselves and the
ratepayers and also with neigh-
boring communities.
Tom MacMillan, who won
acclamation for the deputy-
reeve's post, said the town had
managed several ac-
complishments, and he cited
these as the new works depart-
ment building, new water tower
and several newly paved streets.

Sat., Dec. 7
"Things come quietly and they
have been done efficiently," he
said and concluded his remarks
'by noting he was looking forward
to county council and promised to
work hard for Exeter,
Councillor Harold. Patterson
told the audience he still had
"lots to learn" and was in-
terested in what he could do for
the town.
He explained he had served on
RAP and that committee had,
accomplished a great deal, in-
cluding the hiring of a recreation
director, whom he termed "a
good man".
Bob Simpson, who noted he
wasn't much of a speaker, said he
had chaired the sanitation
committee and while they had
received a few raps over pur-
chasing their own garbage truck,
told the audience he felt it was
"paying its way".
He stated that council had
problems with the dump in trying
to maintain it in the manner
ordered by the ministry of the
environment.
"They'have the cannon and we
have to go along," he explained.
Ted Wright, who had suggested
having the citizens' meeting,
thanked those in attendance for
supporting him by coming out.
He said interest in local affairs is
at a low ebb and reported the
manner in which local respon-
sibility was being eroded by the
senior levels of government was
"shameful".
"Some day we'll wish we had
all stood up and been counted,"
he remarked.
He said it was frustrating
trying to get projects approved in
Toronto, suggesting there were
"too many bodies" there.
However, he said it was too costly
to "go it alone" on projects and
assistance from the senior
governments was required and
therefore the delays had to be.
accepted.
He agreed that Exeter streets
were not in good shape,but said
in some communities a policy
was followed to pave streets
before the services were in-
stalled. He said this was a waste
of tax money.
"Our blessings outweigh our
beefs though," he suggested.
Wright noted that council work
was frustrating and pointed to the
sewer project as an example,
explaining that the provincial
government had said they were
required in Exeter but they then
delayed giving approval to get
the work underway.
He said in his nine years many
things had been accomplished,
listing such things as a new Main
St., improved lighting, park
expansion, a new swim pool, two
subdivisions with fine homes, the
celebration of two centennials,
two traffic lights, senior citizens'
apartments, the north end in-
dustrial complex, school
enlargements and some off-street
parking.
He was one of the few speakers
to mention the town hall, and
while he said at the outset he
wasn't going to state his opinions,
he later said that "we need
something different than this
building". He said the former
post office would be an ideal
replacement.
The veteran councillor also
suggested the town needed more
subdivisions opened up and
questioned if the practice of
burying garbage could be con-
tinued. "It will catch up with us
sooner or later and we'll be
burying ourselves in it," he
concluded.
He said the environment could
stand a little smoke in it, making
reference to the past practice of
burning garbage and leaves. He
noted he had opposed the anti-
burning bylaw initiated by the
town.
The first of the new council
candidates to speak was Barbara
Bell, who said she had been
persuaded to stand for election
with the retirement of Helen
Jermyn. "We need a woman on
council," she said, adding "in
fact I would like to see two
women on council".
She said planning was one of
the most important aspects of
council work and suggested a
five-year plan was required.
"We must decide what we have
to do and then decide what we
need first," she outlined.
Mrs. Bell said she often
questioned if people received the
services that should go along with
their high taxes, noting that the
drains and streets were poor.
She termed the parking and
traffic situation around the new
post office a "disaster area" and
questioned the wisdom of putting
in sewers and drains as part of a
winter works project. "It must
cost a grat deal more," she
suggested.
"One of my themes is the
sorting of garbage," she told the
audience, noting she had ap-
preciated another ratepayer
mentioning that topic earlier in
the meeting.
In her address, the second
female contender, Lossy Fuller,
noted she was attuned to the
needs of all residents, being in
daily contact with teenagers,
while at the same time having a
large circle of friends in the
senior citizen and middle-age
segment of the community.
"Council work is a complex
situation," she explained, noting
that there was a need to progress
while at the same time not
allowing taxes to spiral as they,
have in the past.
She said it was important for
council members to be aware of
the needs of all residents, and
while they could not bow to the
wishes of everyone, they must be
considered.
"Councillors cannot afford the
luxury of being head-strong," she
explained.
Mrs. Fuller said she was in- '
terested in the betterment of the
community and paid tribute to
RAP for fulfilling some of the
needs of senior .citizens. "If
elected, I will endeavour to
continue this action," she
promised.
Both she and Mrs. Bell noted
they had ample time to give to
council 'work.
"Every citizen owes his
community a debt" candidate
Garnet Hicks said in his opening
remarks. The former Usborne
resident noted he had a "wealth
of experience" in municipal work
as a former school trustee and
had learned the necessity of
being patient, diplomatic and
being subjected to criticism.
He told the audience that many
residents of Huron belittle Exeter
and suggested that past councils
may not have had the civic pride
the town deserves.
"The man on the back street
may have the same attitude," he
opined.
He said he would support and
promote legislation to make
Exeter a better place to live.
The final speaker was Dave
Zyluk, who noted he couldn't
make any promises because he
would be only one of nine people
on council if elected.
"There are many great needs
and we must elect people who will
listen to them and hear both sides
Few voters
in advance
Saturday's advance poll for the
upcoming December 2 municipal
elections failed to attract many
voters.
The best turnout was at Grand
Bend where 74 electors, mostly
persons from out of town cast
their ballots. There are 1,149
eligible voters at the summer
resort.
In Exeter with 2,508 names on
the voters list, 38 took advantage
of the advance poll. From 2,712
eligible voters in Stephen
township seven appeared to mark
their ballot Saturday.
The situation at Hensall and
Lucan was the same with nine
persons voting at each village.
Lucan has 488 eligible voters and
Hensall has 743.
New clerk
for Zurich
The village of Zurich has
named a new clerk-treasurer to
handle the business of the village.
She is Elizabeth Oke a lifelong
resident of Zurich, Mrs. Oke will
assume her new duties on
December 10.
Doug Armstrong who held the
position for eight years has ac-
cepted a similar position with the
Township of Smith in Peter-
borough County.

mentator and I'll show you a

of any argument," he suggested.
However, he said councillors
couldn't wait for the voters and
must search for their views and
possible alternatives.
Ina printed handout given to
those at the meeting, Zyluk said
Exeter needed .completed roads
and sewers, a recreation centre,
an acceptable town hall, en-
couragement for industry, a day
care centre and a senior citizens'
centre.
However, he noted that taxes
had to pay for all these and "we
must have a list of priorities, with
some thought of time involved".
