Pollock, who operated a store in the district, said that if anyone :thad suggested such a drastic change was possible from 1969 when the area was dying, he would have termed them crazy. "With an organization working together, you can get tremendous results," he predicted. However, he cautioned it was not magic and there had to be a driving force and the projects had to be practical. He also suggested that in marketing, merchants should think as a group and not as in- dividuals. This emulates the successful approach used by mall stores where each merchant is required to participate in promotions. At the end of the slide presentation of the communities that had undertaken street beautification with special street lights, trees, flowers, benches, etc., Pollock flashed a shot of Exeter on the screen. "It could look better with some cosmetic treatment," he suggested. He concluded his remarks by sayingthat local merchants could forestall fringe area commercial development by making the downtown business area so strong that a developer couldn't afford to go outside, "He'll want to be in the action downtown." The merchants were told that "no one wins" when shopping malls are built outside core areas, because both are weakened as the pie is split. Mel Gaiser wondered how much it would cost to undertake such a program in Exeter. Pollock replied that the cost would be up to the local people and what they wanted to spend, but he suggested that the The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us. — Voltaire Gabian Stone Calcium Chloride in 100 pound bags Sand & Stone Gravel Stone for Weeping Beds EARL LIPPERT TRUCKING LTD. Crediton 234.6382 Times-Advocate, September 23, 1976 Page 3 Residents air complaint over proposed apartment the building was approved. Reeve Derry Boyle said the residents of the area would have the right to appeal the zoning of the area for multi-family use Roy Pepper was thwarted by Bell Telephone this week in his attempt to win one million dollars, He'd been listening to clues given by a CFPL radio announcer about a public telephone that would be called as part of a station promotion. The Exeter man figured out that the booth in front of the ,town offices was the place and he took up squatter's rights for over half an hour. With several other area residents arriving on the scene they listened via car radios as thee announcer dialed the number, neighboring property would be devalued with the Construction of apartments and advised that if a building permit was issued before the zoning was approved the residents would have to seek recourse through some court action. However, he said the building inspector and council would have to have something stronger than just fears on which to make their decisions regarding the issuing of a permit. Councillor Ted Wright noted that the developers still had to sign an agreement with the town over services for the land and this may hold up construction for some time. "The way council operates, it may be a long time," Mayor Shaw added.. Reeve Boyle ended discussion when he told the ratepayers that council were caught in the middle, as they could face court action over issuing a permit as participant before decisions were made on proceeding. "How do you get the merchants to have one voice?" asked Mayor Bruce Shaw, indicating council have problems knowing -what local merchants want because they are often divided. Pollock said projects un- dertaken under the provinical plan were ideal, because they are legislated. At the end of the meeting, Cottrell announced the date of another meeting to discuss the matter. However, it had to be changed and is now planned for Tuesday night at the public: school library, starting at 7:30 p.m. Several residents of the Senior and gidley Street area presented a petition, to council this week voicing their opposition to the proposed 14-unit apartment building being planned by Mel Gaiser and Jim Kneale in front of their present town houses on Senior Street. Mrs. Stan Horrell, speaking for the petitioners, said the multi- - residential structure would add to the parking and traffic problems on the street and she noted that they were already a concern to residents. The petition also said the building would be detrimental to the neighboring property owners as it would devalue their holdings. Mrs. Horrell said she had seen the plan of the building, and while saying that it was attractive, suggested it was not in the best interest of the street. Mrs. Pearl Gans noted there was no sidewalk on a portion of the street and said residents were already concerned about the high traffic use in the area without adding more congestion. Several of the other petitioners also spoke briefly, one suggesting he would appeal his assessment if Manpower office open A new Canada Manpower office opened in Exeter Thursday and will be providing complete services to employers and em- ployees in the area. Local counselling officer John Gillespie said the move to Exeter from' Huron Park will make Manpower services available to a larger number of people. He continued, "Exeter is the focal point for the south half of Huron and we feel we can serve the area better from this location. The new Manpower office is located in the new shopping mall erected recently on the property formerly owned by Cann's Mill. Gillespie said a sign board with job opportunities will be established in the lobby of the postoffice at Huron Park to serve people in that area. Services available from Manpower in addition to job placement include counselling of prospective employees, provide information on retraining programs and on-the-job training. Gillespie said a recent Senate committee report has suggested de-emphasizing of retraining programs in favour of more on- the-job training while performing a regular job. Job counselling includes in- forming an employee of the proper way to apply for a position and submission of a suitable resume. The most common service to an employer is to refer a prospective employee. The local Manpower counsellor said only about 15 percent of positions are filled through the services of Canada Manpower with the majority completed through direct application.

Mayor Bruce Shaw agreed that there was a possibility that but couldn't understand why Mr. Pepper wasn't answering. The reason became evident when a telephone operator came on the line to tell the announcer that no calls could be dialed into the local number. Apprised of that news, Mr. Pepper departed without an opportunity to win the station's cash award or the lottery ticket that could have made him a million dollars, Don Liley, Lucan, was luckier. He won. $29.80 the day before as well as the lottery ticket for answering the phone beside the Lucan post office. assessment department could work out the actual costs for each GB council Continued from front page December, council agreed to use composite ballots as opposed to separate ballots for each position. When clerk Louise Clipperton said wages of election officials in a lot of municipalities were going up, deputy-reeve Rollie Grenier commented, "It would be a lot cheaper to have a show of hands." Council gave final approval to closing of a portion of an unused road allowance on Kitchener street. The village will pay 50 percent of the legal costs up to a maximum of $500, The balance is to be paid by the three ad- joining owners who will acquire ownership of the property. They include councillor Bob Simpson, Jim Prance and Don Smart. Simpson declared a conflict of interest and did not vote on the question. HEY! ITS ASTHMA WEEK!

Later in the meeting, the apartment being planned by fAen Veri in the block bordered by Sanders, Carling, William and Gidley was also brought up for debate. Mayor Shaw wanted to know if any progress had been made on acquiring a right-of-way through to William Street for sewer services. Councillor Bob Simpson said no action had been taken as yet. Council had decided to in- vestigate the possibility of taking the sewer onto William rather than Carling to avoid adding any more volume to the Carting Street sewer system. Monday night, members felt it was in the town's interest to go through to William Street 'and that council should continue the investigation. However, on learning that the building permit issued for the apartments had lapsed, there was a suggestion that acquiring the easement may be one of the requirements faced by the developer before another permit is issued. RAP Continued from front page time they could be employed. Mrs. Fuller said things couldn't be left so vague as the employees required some notice of layoffs. "We're still not running RAP," Boyle replied. "There's no more money coming from council and what they do is their business as to the layoffs." "We warned them last spring council wouldn't be able to help out (beyond the approved budget)," Deputy-Reeve Tom MacMillan continued, However, council did decide to help the committee by writing off accounts of $1,625. These were the audit fees and the expenses incurred by having the PUC help with the tree trimming in Riverview Park after the ice storm. It was estimated that with anticipated revenue, RAP would have about $15,800 remaining in funds, while estimated ex- penditures to the end of the year are $22,000. That leaves them about $6,200 short. Mrs. Fuller wondered what RAP would do with the present office above McKerlie-Millen. Boyle suggested they should talk to the owners and make a settlement, while Shaw said it could possibkbe sub-let. don't, luny RAP," Mayor Sham; said- at- the end of the discussion. Maid it was a tough task and the case was unique. "Whether you have been pushed into it or if you are the makers of your own fate, it is going to be difficult," he told Mrs. Durand. After the meeting, RAP chairman Ruth Durand an- nounced she would call a meeting of her committee as soon as possible to discuss the matter. (It wts held last night,) Foiled by Ma Bell
