RAP chairman Jack Undewood made that request in his monthly report to Exeter council and bylaw committee chairman Barb Bell explained that the one-way traffic was actually bylawed from May 1 to October 1. Underwood also asked that council prohibit parking on the west side of Andrew St. beside the swimming pool and this too was approved. However, at the suggestion of works superintendent Glenn Kells, it was decided to prohibit parking on the east side of the street in the vicinity of the pool. Kells said this would be better in that children leaving the pool would not be running between parked cars.

Three apple trees along the lane between the house and the barn were downed and a cedar tree was badly damaged. Nearby, crews from Hay township removed a fallen maple tree which had fallen across the concession road. OPP in Exeter reported that a fallen tree across the Mt. Carmel road was the only incident which was reported during . the storm. Police said farmers in the area removed the tree from across the roadway. A number of apple trees in the orchard of Martin Debruyn, a mile and a half north of Crediton on concession six of Stephen Township blew down.

Interment was in Forest Lawn • Memorial Gardens, The reports of special com- mittees established by Exeter council have been received and now committees have been named to study those committee reports. This was the action taken this week regarding the study of Exeter's street numbering system and the future of the town hall, Councillor Ted Wright suggested that committees of council be established to study the Alter policy on expenses A new policy has been established by Exeter council pertaining to paying expenses for town employees attending conferences or training events. In the past, council had ruled that no advances for expenses would be granted. However, this week they were presented with a request from Chief Ted Day for a $300 advance for a police chiefs' conference. A motion was presented that the request be denied, but after a 4-4 split by council", Mayor Bruce Shaw voted against the motion to send it down to defeat. Deputy-Reeve Tom MacMillan, who noted that meeting expenses could create hardships for em- ployees, then suggested the policy be changed. It will now be possible for employees to receive pre- payment of an estimated two- thirds of their expenses. ' This was unanimously ap- proved by council, but the stipulation was added that all requests for attendance at conferences still had to be ap- proved by the committee im- volved. RAP, Clerk Eric Carscadden distributed samples of the work produced in his office on the duplicating machine. "I don't think they're that bad," he said, quickly drawing agreement from council mem- be :s. The reference about the quality of the work was in reply to criticism levelled last week by recreation director Jim McKinlay about the duplicating equipment. McKinlay had complained that using the equipment created a great deal of wasted time because it was operating so poorly. Reeve Boyle suggested the samples brought by the clerk be shown to McKinlay because he claimed the machine was no good. McKinlay was present at the meeting and suggested the service representative would have to show the recreation department staff how to operate the equipment. At last week's meeting of RAP, Boyle recommended that the duplicating equipment be moved from the clerk's office to the recreation office rather than purchase a second machine. No mention was made of this at Monday's council session. Canada Week — Continued from front page arena at 8 p.m. sponsored by the Exeter Fair Board.

When Mayor Bruce Shaw suggested that the two items may be held over until fail, Wright replied that council was back- logging too many things and suggested that "now is the time" for council to undertake the studies. Reeve Derry Boyle, an avowed opponent of any plan to save the town hall, said his property committee should be in charge of the study on the town hall, with any other members being added at the discretion of the mayor. He claimed that because it was town property, it was the responsibility of the property committee. However, Wright said the study was something different than routine property committee work. Mayor Shaw then asked council members to consider on which committee they would prefer to act and to give him their choice Public invited to a forum Area residents will have an opportunity to air their views regarding health care and the delivery of health care at a public forum on June 30. The forum will be staged at the Exeter Public School and is being sponsored by the Huron Medical Society. The idea of the forum is to provide an opportunity for the public to meet the medical profession and exchange views. Four Huron doctors will sit on a panel to answer questions, listen to beefs or hear briefs presented by any interested citizens. Questions may he submitted in writing. The idea for the forum originated at the Ontario Medical AssociatiOn headquarters in Toronto and was a result of the Pickering report which suggested the Association should provide better public relations so the public could better un- derstand some of the problems of the medical profession and that the doctors in turn might better understand some of the problems of the public in obtaining medical care. The forum in Exeter is a pilot project to accomplish this goal. Results of the forum will be relayed to the OMA and will hopefully serve as a basis for future discussions along this line between the medical profession and the public. Dr.Charles Wallace of Zurich is in charge of organizing the forum and has expressed the hope that area citizens will avail them- selves of the opportunity to discuss their views. Further information is con- tained in an advertisement in this issue. Unlucky day for drivers Friday, June 13 proved to be unlucky for a pair of out-of-town motorists.

Wright and Harold Patterson were the only two to request being on the street numbering study while Tom MacMillan, Bob Simpson, Lossy Fuller, Derry Boyle, Barb Bell and Garnet Hicks opted for the town hall, Boyle suggested it may be six months to a year before their report is ready. Earlier in the meeting, council received a letter from PUC manager Hugh Davis pointing out that any changes in the town's street numbering system would create problems for the utility as well as schools, telephone and gas companies, store owners, licences, etc. He pointed out that changes in street numbers would require changing individual records for all those mentioned. In the case of the PUC, he said that it would require 10 changes in each property owner's record. Reeve Derry Boyle said he had also received an official com- plaint from th'e post office department about any wholesale changes in the street numbering system. "I don't think the present system should be scrapped en- tirely," he commented.
