No one on our committee ever dreamed of the success of the S.H.R.C. Tel-A- Thon and Walk-A-Than The sucess of participation and the success of the funds raised for the campaign is nothing more than fantastic. Who would have thought that more than $10,000 could be raised in a tel-a-thon and 400 walkers could raise $15,000? That has to be success. Exeter's first TV show was just unbelievable. How cap we ever beat the success of the stars - Bill Batten and Jo-Anne Dinney. Just instant success! What a good sport Bill was to allow his 10 year old beard to be shaved for money and right on TV, Thanks Jo-Anne and Bill. Hard work behind the scenes helped to make the show a suc- cess. Thanks to Carf Cann for arranging the prizes and writing out the draw tickets and of course for your song, Thanks to Rob Grant for preparing the studio and preparing all the cards for the set.

Price war cuts costs There's a price war going on in emulsions and the Town of Exeter is one of the winners in the battle. The war between various producers was evident in tenders opened this week for the ap- plication of colas and chips on town streets. The low bid was $18,994.45, submitted by T. J. Pounder Ltd. It was almost half the estimated cost according to works superintendent Glenn Kells. A representative of Pounder Ltd. was in attendance at the meeting and advised council of the price war. He said all products are cheaper this year, Kells explained that he had estimated the cost on last year's contract prices. "You're getting it at cost price," council learned from the Pounder official. The highest price submitted was $22,751,75, still well below the estimate of around $35.000. Kells said he would like to see the work undertaken by the last week Of June and the company representative indicated this may be possible. In view of the saving, Reeve Si Simmons suggested that council could consider applying Colas and chips on Wellington St. West. He said the street was too narrow for the large trucks using it and they create considerable dust when they hit the gravel on the shoulders, Mayor Shaw asked the road committee to investigate the Reeve's suggestion. Don't forget to vote! CAN STILL SMILE - Carf Cann and Alberta Gregson, left, were on hand to welcome three of the walkers in Saturday's 11-mile route. They included Mayor Bruce Shaw, who is also chairman of the rec centre board of management, Bruce Martin and board member Howard Pym. Martin was in town visiting the Mayor for the weekend and joined him for the walk, T-A photo List telathon prize winners While the South Huron Rec in the telathon and walkathon won various prizes donated by local merchants, Ken Elder, RR 2 Hensall, topped the prize winners as he won the CB radio provided .by Gord's Trophies as well as the man's leisure suit donated by Bob Swartman's Men's Shoppe.

Winners of those prizes were: Jeff Keller, Lois Porter, Teresa Morrison, Bruce Shaw Jr., Kathy Dale, Dirk Coolman and George Moore, Pay $500 `commitment' Exeter council fulfilled commitment this week when they agreed to pay $500 for the removal of the horse barn at the community park. The offer of $500 had been made last fall to the Exeter Turf Club, and while the barn was finally removed by a private individual, council agreed to pay the fee. Turf club president Jack Parsons moved the barn to Ns farm on Highway 83 west of Exeter, where he is opening a training track. Councillor Ted Wright said Parsons had contacted him to see if the $500 would be paid by council, "It was an agreement and it was fulfilled," Wright said in backing his argument that council should pay Parsons, "The barn is gone and we owe him $500," Councillor Harold Patterson agreed. At Monday night's meeting, works superintendent Glenn Kells asked council what they planned to do with the large storage shed that was located behind the old arena. Be said it was sitting on an area that was to be turned into -a parking area under terms of the contract for the new rec centre. "It has to go," Mayor Bruee Shaw said. "It loOks like the devil sitting there," Reeve Si Simmons wondered if it could be moved to the works department yard oh Nelson St and Kells said he could certainly use the building. However, he said there was a shortage Of land. It was left to the works Cont. mittee to investigate the: possibility of purchasing oe leasing laird from Canadian Canners at the works department property and also to have the shed removed from the park. Vote Centre fund was the big winner last week, several area residents
