All three pertain directly to the development being undertaken by Len Veri. Council agreed with the plan board to approve a sign for the Riverview Estates mobile home park at the -corner of Main and George St, near Les Pines Motel, However, the approval will be subject to inspection by works superintendent Glenn Kells and Police Chief Ted Day. Kells explained that this in- tersection was a "daylight corner" and the location of the sign should not alter this. A second sign application was turned down. It was for the erection of a sign at the entrance of the mobile home park. Planning board member Tom MacMillan said that the sign would contravene the zoning bylaw as it was too large for a residential zone, The third recommendation was that, in the future, council should only consider taking land under terms of the planning act whereby they are to receive five percent of the land—or an equivalent cash value----in a new subdivision. This land or money is for park pur- poses, Planning board noted that council could take the land and resell it later when the sub- division has been developed because it would be of con- siderable more value then, MacMillan noted that the town received $60 as a cash settlement for their five percent portion of a five-lot subdivision recently approved. Councillor Ted Wright ex- plained that council had in the past taken the cash value rather than having small parcels of park land in various locations of the community, but he Said he was in agreement with the plan board recommendation after Mac- Millan explained that the land value would increase after development and could be sold at that time. Some members weren't certain they agreed with the recom- mendation and felt each situation should be judged on its own merits, although they did ap- prove the motion accepting the recommendation, .1 SWIMMING INSTRUCTORS — teaching the swim program at Exeter pool this summer are (back row I to r) 41) All son Robichaud, Tony Kyle, Wendy Beaver, and Cathy Easton.

T,A photo Work on mobile home park to start, wires underground Exeter council have decided not to follow a suggestion of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority to survey lands ad- jacent to Riverview Park to determine the "top of the bank" line, Councillor Ted Wright questioned why this was not the responsibility of the Authority to undertake the survey, or at least to share the cost. He said he would like to know the cost of the work but did point out that council wouldn't have any problems at the present had the work been undertaken earlier, The problem he referred to was the suggestion by the Authority that council had been remiss in approving a building permit for a new home being erected by Len Veri near the curling rink. The Authority suggests the home is in the flood plain and have advised Veri they will assume no responsibility for any flood damage he may experience. The question of the survey was finally resolved when works superintendent Glenn Kells noted that a subdivision plan would be required for any future development beyond the Veri home and this would have to be undertaken by the developer. Officials viewed the area last week at the request of building inspector Doug Triebner and advised that they could see no problem regarding a home planned by Chan Livingstone as long as the development took place above the "top of the bank" line plotted at that time. Council learned that the "top of the bank" line passes through the Veri residence. — Continued from front page program were Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle and•Huron Warden Nomination Cadet Dave Lawrence, 263 Algonquin Drive, Huron Park, is fully equipped for watermanship training at Ipperwash Army Cadet Camp.

The new tank has been in full operation since June, An open house has been planned to ex- plain the tower and works system "If you don't want it, you're not going to get it!" Those were the words of the Hon, Dennis Timbrell in ex- plaining the Davis government policy on regional government to the 650 people who attended the PC nomination at South Huron District High School, Monday. Timbrell, the minister of energy, said he was sick and tired of the Liberal distortions and lies about regional government, and noted that in October of 1973 Premier Davis said regional government would not be im- posed on any part of Ontario, Noting that the Liberals were still trying to gain votes by using scare tactics on the regional government issues, he said it was time they (Liberals) started being honest. "I want to see the next election fought on issues and not on half- truths and defamations," Tim- brell told the partisan audience. He said, in reference to regional government, he favored a system whereby more authority would be placed at the county level. The energy minister also had some words for those concerned with a suggestion that a nuclear power plant may be erected near Goderich. He said "no definite plans" had been formulated for any station and it was merely listed as a "possible development zone." He noted that a Royal Com- mission had been established to study Hydro's requests and said one of their prime concerns will be that "the least amount of farm land as possible" would be disturbed by future power plants and corridors, He said that after a recent Liberal policy session in Windsor, that party wouldn't outline their platform because they said they were afraid it would be stolen by the Davis government, On checking with a lawyer, Timbrell said he was informed that theft was termed as taking anything with a value over 25 cents. "If we took their whole damn platform it wouldn't be con- sidered theft," the audience was told. The cabinet minister said that when Premier Bill Davis was elected head of the party he warned his supporters that all groups wouldn't be happy with their decisions, and he mentioned spending ceilings for school boards and pollution controls for industry as two of the programs that had resulted in unfavorable reaction, He said the PCs took these pOlitical risks because they were concerned with the long-term efreefskif'policies the reSideiite: of Ontario, rather than political expediency. • "We're building sound measures on sound measures for you and far me, and. for .ywri children and mine," he phasized, lie noted that this policy had made Ontario the best place to live and work in the free world and said that Ontario has the highest credit rating on the world. banking markets.

Won't survey lands next to Riverview Name Hayter — Continued from front page candidates had many attributes, he would rather choose a man who had a power base in the south and central portions of the riding, as well as the north. The nomination provided some surprises as Hayter's predecessor as reeve of Stephen, Glenn Webb, nominated Hearn. Barry Heaman, a McGillivray neighbor of Mr. Amos, seconded the Hayter nomination. Amos was nominated by Dr, Fred Boyes, Parkhill and Donna Wood, Clinton,Harold Corbett, Lucan, seconded the Hearn nomination. Both Hearn and Amos opposed regional government in their speeches and both men also suggested they would oppose the building of a nuclear power plant near Goderich,unless they could be assured the agriculture in- dustry would be fully protected form any environmental damage and related problems. Amos was the onIrcandidate to mount any type of campaign for the nomination. He had his supporters out with hats and banners and a piper led some of them around the hall after his name was placed in nomination. He cited the Liberals as being a party without a leader and suggested the Liberals who had tried to oust Robert Nixon from that position would be able to do so after Premier Bill Davis won the next election. The McGillivray farmer- businessman termed the NDP "an economic wrecking crew" and predicted that if they won they would have the province in a financial mess within a year. He cited some of the problems being experienced in B.C., Manitoba and Saskatchewan tinder N.D.P. governments to back his comments. Amos outlined eight policy positions he would support: establishment of a riding of- fice,introduction of policies to make smanbusiness and industry more viable, preservation and improvement of agricultural policies and land, low cost housing and financial support for senior citizens, opposition to the rising costs of gas and heating ,fuel, improved police protection and stricter penalties for those crimes which effect our way of life. Hearn called for better relationships between management and labor, suggesting there surely must be a better way of settling issues than having strikes. He too expressed concern for improved facilities for senior citizens and suggested that school boards should be held more responsible to the ratepayers than they are at present. Many Huron county councillors in the audience applauded when he suggested that Huron should be entitled to more subsidies along the' lines of those given to districts because the local county does not have any separated towns or cities, Appointment Ailsa Craig hog producer Andrew Stewart has been named to the Ontario Economic Council.
