GLENN KELLS Works Superintendent Notice to Exeter Ratepayers 1. The maintenance cost of a sanitary sewer which passes in front of a property is charged to the property owner at an annual rate of 42c a foot for thirty years. This charge may be paid as the service is made available, or may be continued over the thirty year period. 2. The sum of 77% of a customer's water bill will be charged to all water users in a building which is connected to the sewer system. This amount will be collected by the Public Utilities Commission with the water bill. 3. Of course this fee does not cover the entrie financing of the sewer system. The balance is placed in the town budget annually and becomes part of the mill rate. 4. Also, to cover the charge of connecting a residence to the sewer system, a levy of $135 is laid per installation. This connection consists of installation of suitable pipe from the Main sewer to the property line. It is the property owner's responsibility to have the pipe carried from the lot line to the building. B. F.

Through modern communications, we can contact people anywhere in the world in minutes. Men have walked upon the moon. Yet, in all corners of the earth, poverty, sickness, loneliness and starvation are yet to be found, and millions still need un- derstanding, compassion, love and assistance. It is toward this objective — service to the needy of the world that more than 27,000 Lions Clubs, comprised of more than one million members, are at work in 149 nations and geographical territories around the globe. These one million men, unified by humanitarian service, have but one objective: to bring to the needy and lonely the help and assistance they need to live with grace and On October 9, *1975 the 27,000 clubs of the International Association of Lions Clubs will meet in their home communities to dignity: perform a special act of humanitarian service. This special act will syrnbolize the unity of purpose which is best defined by the motto of the worldwide Lions organization: We Serve." To make all people more fully aware of the significance of the achievements of the Lions club members at work today throughout the world, I, Bruce Shaw, do hereby proclaim October 9, 1975, as I urge all citizens of the TOWN OF EXETER to mark this acca- World Lions Service Day. sion as a special observance in recognition of the numerous ser- vices provided by the Exeter Lions Club to the needy and the lone - ly. FTHETO OF EXETER ?4' AltEE ZSr .. .. .. .. .. ... .. Bruce Shaw, Mayor of Exeter A RESRA CONSERV, It takes energy to make hot water. Let's not waste it. 45 Whatever kind of water heater you have, it makes good sense to use water carefully, to conserve energy. Here are a few tips which may help to avoid waste. You'll use less hot water in the laundry if you wash only full loads. If your washing machine has a water level selector, choose the right amount for the size of the load. A dripping tap or shower head wastes a surprising amount of hot water, and they're both easy to fix. If you have a dishwasher, don't use it until it's fully loaded. Long runs of exposed hot water pipe should be insulated. While the Cascade water heater is designed to use electricity efficiently, it's up to you to use it wisely, not wastefully. R. E.

A suggestion by Southcott Pines Limited that someday the lakeshore area from Port Franks to Drysdale should all be one community was revealed to Grand Bend village council at its meeting Monday night. The suggestion, in a letter to Lambton county regarding planning, said that the areas which run alongside Lake Huron have many problems in common while areas set back from the lake are more agriculturally oriented. The letter also suggested that Lambton county look closely at planning studies being carried out in Grand Bend, Hay township, Stephen township and Bosanquet township Reeve Sharen suggested that the letter indicated that the development firm was ap- proaching a position where it would request the village to take over some of the services now being performed on a private !basis.
