At Monday's meeting of the PUC, Davis said he had checked into the comparison between the two communities to back up his argument that Exeter had considerably more invested in capital plant than did Clinton. He had previously said this was due to Clinton's close water AND THE WINNER IS — Deb Ford was crowned the SHDHS At Home Queen Friday by last year's Queen Brenda Neil. Deb and Brenda are shown above with the At Home Princesses. Left to right are Tina Martens, Vicki Miller, Laurie Becker, Brenda Neil, Deb Ford, Michelle Robinson, Dianne Ducharme and Heather Dougherty. T-A photo supply and the fact Exeter had to pump water over a considerable distance, Another factor was the requirement of the local canning factory. His figures noted that in 1965, Clinton had $115,763 in total capital plant and Exeter had $513,273.95. By 1976, Clinton's figure had climbed to only $159,- 141 while Exeter's was up to $1,- 363,221.08. Clinton's debenture debt is nil, while Exeter's is $377,000 and this does not include the debt being assumed for the new wells and pipeline in Usborne. t Davis reported that Exeter has 20,11 miles of four-inch or larger mains, while Clinton has 9.2. In 1958, Clinton had 63 hydrants and this climbed to 80 in 1976,. while Exeter's corresponding. figures were 56 hydrants in 1958 and 107 In 1976. "That's quite a difference," commented chairman Murray Greene. Commissioner Chan Livingstone noted that it was impossible to compare rates between municipalities without having the figures available. :*!t A AVANASI* ',cf• <-- (z.)

Dr. Thomas Symons, Chair- man of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, announced that the Board of Inquiry Chairman, Professor Sydney Lederman, Osgoode Hall Law School, has ordered the Association to comply with the Code by eliminating its segregated divisional series for children under 11 years old and allowing for competition among integrated, all-boy and all-girl teams. • Professor Lederman was appointed by the Minister of Labour, Dr. Bette Stephenson, upon the recommendation of the Human Rights Commissioners, when the Commission could not bring the parties to a conciliated settlement after Brent Ban- nerman, coach of the Waterford Squirt All Star Softball Team, lodged a complaint of sex discrimination under the Code on behalf of Debbie Bazso. The Association had disqualified his team because it had an ineligible member, specifically Miss Bazso, and an Association official warned Mr. Bannerman that co-educational teams would spell the ruin of softball. Debbie is a resident of Waterford, which has no girls team, the closest being 20 miles away. She successfully qualified for the boys team and was regarded as one of its stars during the regular season of play. In this precedent-setting decision the Board of Inquiry Chairman ruled that section 2 of the Code applies to the services and facilities which the Ontario Rural Softball Association provides. Section 2 forbids discrimination with respect to "services or facilities available in any place to which the public is customarily admitted." Professor Lederman ruled that the exception in section 2 of the Code regarding public decency "does not apply . . . since changing of clothing for play invariably takes place at home and the children are driven to and from the (playdown) games in their baseball attire." Hence the Association did contravene section 2 of the Code. The broader implications of the case are discussed in Professor Lederman's report, notably the ramifications of desegregating softball ap all age levels and the sports facilities available for women. Expert witnesses included Miss Abby Hoffman, well-known Canadian sports figure, and Professor Ronald Watson, medical expert from the University of Western Ontario. The report summarizes their testimony and the Board of Inquiry Chairman's own con- clusions. These are that segregated athletics may afford some ad- vantages but they fail to ac: commodate the exceptional female athlete who would rather compete against boys. "Other- wise she will encounter less competition and receive less training than her ability deser- ves." Professor Lederman saw no problems for children under 11 years of age in allowing un- segregated teams, He declined, however, to go beyond the present case and make any policy choices for' older children and adolescents. He noted that no legal justification currently exists for segregated athletics; an amendment to the Code would be required, Cancer can be beaten KIDS AND KIDS — A large number of Huron Park and area youngsters enjoyed petting the animals prior to the circus at Huron Park, Sunday. Above, Chris Stark, Melanie Jones and Kim Watson pet some goats. AT LOCAL CIRCUS — Laura OvecalLand David Rook talk to a llama at Sunday's circus at Huron Park. Caterpillars will soon go The end is in sight for the forest tent caterpillar plague. The swarming crawlers should be gone in about 10 days, and tree leaves should begin to return soon thereafter.' The assurance was given by Natural Resources Minister Frank S. Miller today. Millions of the caterpillars have been affecting trees in central and northern Ontario during the past few weeks. In summer cottage country, swarms of them are crawling over buildings, roads and land as well. "The leaves being eaten up should return by late June," Mr. Miller said, "and the caterpillar- laden trees are not permanently damaged." In about 10 days the cater- pillars should form cocoons on their way to becoming moths. "As this caterpillar is merely a short-term nuisance and does no lasting damage to the forest, large-scale control has never been attempted by the Ministry," Mr. Miller said: "In any case, we are convinced that a widespread application of chemicals to thousands of square miles is potentially dangerous to the environment." Mr. Miller said he understands why those people confronted by the sudden invasion of the caterpillar hordes would find it unpleasant. But large-scale preventive spraying would have been unwise because of the possible side-effects. A further complication would be the near-impossibility of obtaining advance permission for spraying from' every property owner.; some of whom do not live in the area affected, the Minister said. Another factor is that while chemical treatment at a strategic time can prevent the temporary defoliation, it does not kill all caterpillars and the migration to other areas would not be stopped. As to how residents and cot- tagers in affected areas could cope with the present nuisance, Mr. Miller suggested one ap- proach: Hose them down. The mature caterpillars now being seen are migrating in search of sheltered sites to spin cocoons, They may be washed from verandahs and building walls with a garden hose. Then they can be collected and destroyed, .°M//01!;Aet '97* ON THE FARM! • foon.441.44.••••••••, Reception and Dance for SUSAN MERPAW and KEN NOLAN (Bridal Couple) Sat., June 11 9 to 1 I p.m. PINERIDGE CHALET HENSALL Music by Mozart's Melody Makers Everyone Welcome 1 SMORGASBORD Open Monday througS Saturday 5 - 8 p.m. Sundays - 12:00 noon - 7 p.m. ADULTS CHILDREN UNDER 12 PRE-SCHOOL $3.49 $1.99 99' BEVERAGE AND DESSERT EXTRA NIGHTLY FOR INFORMATION REGARDING BANQUETS, WEDDINGS, ETC.
