Stuart, along with two other Ontario Hydro staff members, Tom Moran and Jens Anderson, were in attendance at the meeting to draw up plans for a local session on hydro con- servation. The PUC will host the meeting and will invite area industrial and commercial consumers to attend so they can be given some insight into the current con- servation program being con- ducted by Ontario Hydro, The three men said a similar meeting had been held recently in Goderich and had drawn a good response. Stuart said the program, which is arranged by Ontario Hydro, attempts to advise people where waste can occur and how it can be located in their operations. It was noted that not only does the program result in conserving hydro, it leads to savings for the firms involved. PUC chairman Murray Greene said many people wanted to help in the conservation of energy, but often didn't know where to start. A meeting has tentatively been set for May 17 at 7:30 p.m. In addition to the Exeter PUC, utilities in Seaforth, Brussels, Mitchell, Hensel], Grand Bend and Zurich will be invited to send along their staff members and any industrial or commercial representatives they wish. "The more people you can get the message to, the better it is," Moran stated, Air complaint on inspection The Huron County health unit has taken over inspections of Ex- eter sewer connections and coun- cil are concerned over the fact that the unit won't permit base- ment drains or footing tiles to be connected into the system. Reeve Si Simmons wondered where the unit expected those outlets to be connected. "They're not concerned, as long as they're not hooked into the sewers," works superinten- dent Glenn Kells replied. Building inspector Doug Triebner said the town had a bylaw requiring that basement drains and footing tiles be hook- ed into' the sanitary sewers and said he would issue a stop work order to any contractor not providing for these in new homes. Simmons suggested plumbers making the hookups should ig- nore the county regulation. However, Kells said the plumbers couldn't do that because they had to have the per- mits. It was finally decided the coun- ty should be sent a copy of Ex- eter's bylaw pointing out the con- nections were okayed. On the same topic, Kells said a local resident had secured a $5 permit from the town last fall and never connected to the sewer and now the county wants an $18 fee for a new permit. Councillor Ted Wright said the town should honor the $5 permit and a motion to this effect was passed, and the county will be advised of that decision. EVERYBODY LOVES MCONTi. Property damage in Exeter ac- cidents during the month of April probably set a record. In his monthly report, Chief Youth groups end season The Calvinette and Cadet Clubs of the Exeter Christian Reformed Church as well as the Calvinette Club of the Exeter Reformed Church concluded their seasons by attending various rallies. On April 16 the Cadets travelled to Elmira, where they competed against regional clubs in such contests as compass relay, baton relay, knot tying, and (human) pyramid building. In addition, a public-speaking contest was held, which was won by Ken Benjamins of Blyth, On Saturday, April 23, the local Calvinette clubs attended the regional rally in Clinton, The big contest for the girls was the writing and composing of a song, as well as designing a banner, on the Calvinette theme for the year: "Praise God—He made me," The girls of the Reformed Church placed first in the song- writing contest and took second in banner design. Sunday, April 24, was designated Cadet and Calvinette Sunday. Rev. Bishop's message was expecially intended for the younger members of the congregation. However, we all will long remember the vivid illustrations of the empty shell and the necessity of having to become small in order to get out of the funnel (of sin). Members of the clubs took part in the service by lifting the collection and providing special music. On the local level the season officially closed Thursday, when the Calvinettes and Cadets hosted a mother-and-father banquet at the Christian. Reformed Church. The various activities of the the evening included putting away lots of good food, an auction sale, and the presentation of badges and awards. Best Cadet of the Year award went to Donald Boersma. Finally, the club counselors are commended for their time and leadership provided during the past season. By MRS.

Dust control is promised Exeter council found out this week it's impossible to please everyone. Last year, they received a peti- tion from several residents in the Dow subdivision requesting that no calcium or tar and chips be placed on some of the streets. Monday night, one resident of that area, Harry Dougherty, appeared before council and in- dicated he and some of his neighbors wanted action regar- ding the dust problem. Although he said calcium was not effective in keeping down the dust due to the conditions of the road in his area of Sherwood Crescent, Dougherty indicated he was not in total agreement with his neighbors about tar and chips. "There's not much dust where they live," he explained, noting that people backing out their lanes don't create any great problem. However, he said those same people drive 35 to 40 past his home and create a con- siderable dust problem for he and some of his neighbors. Dougherty was assured that the dust problem would be cor- rected this year, although works superintendent Glenn Kells said tar and chips could not be put on the streets until May 24. Dougherty said assistance on May 24 would be fine and even in- dicated he may plan to be out of town on the holiday weekend so he won't have to worry about the mess created by the oiling program, Property damage sets mark in April collisions in town Shop At Wilson's Jewellery Beside Bank of Montreal, Exeter PLEASING YOU PLEASES US GENTLEMANLY AND IMPROVED—During Friday's Exeter Hawks awards presentation banquet, Ware Pearce presented Fred Mommersteeg Jr. with the most gentlemanly player award and Don McKellar receives the most improved trophy from George Pratt.
