BOX $14.99 Merchants claim Ws alarming A delegation of Merchants from the Mainway appeared before the regular meeting'of the Board of Management for the Exeter Central Business Improvemcnt Area last Thur- sday and reported that shoplif- tin& in their stores has reached alarming proportions. One merchant said that for three hours during mid-day, two employees are assigned no other work, but to watch shoppers. He said that this alone adds a con- siderable amount of expense to the cost of the problem, beside the loss of merchandise. Other merchants reported an epidemic of pilferage in defiance of posted signs warning of prosecution. Most stores reported that they do not accept mer- chandise for return without proof of sale such as sales slips. The Board voted in favour of writing a letter to all area school principals, and the Town of Exeter Police Chief, informing them of the problem, and that merchants intend to press for charges without further warning. In concluding the discussion, it was agreed that the seriousness of the crime has been adequately publicised, and any offenders will have to bear the consequences. In other business, the Board agreed to assist the Public Utilities in their .replacement program of Christmas decorations on lamp posts along the Mainway, A report from the Exeter Parking Authority was presented. by the chairman of that organization, Bill Batten. The report proposed obtaining rights, and clearing unused areas of private property for public parking, adjacent to the rear of stores along Mainway. The Board approved the plan and agreed to assist in effecting the proposals. PARKHILL By MRS. HARRY SHEPPARD West Williams Community Centre was the scene of a large gathering when.

Constable Tomasik in- vestigated and set total damage Reaction to the proposed master plan for Pinery Provin- cial Park has been favourable but somewhat limited, Ministry of Natural Resources 'District Park Planner Pete Sturdy said. He said on September 9, the date set by the Ministry for public comment on the plan, only a couple dozen had made a com- ment and that many ignored the major issues. He said management of the park was a major issue included in the plan 'but that. clUbs, organizations and individuals zeroed in on more minor points in the plan.

The Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority will be conducting a guided hike Sunday, October 2, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the scenic Ban- nockburn Wildlife Area 1 1/4 miles east of Varna. Varna is on Huron County Road 3 between Highways 4 and 21. Naturalists will enjoy viewing the wide variety of trees, plants, wildlife and the beautiful scenery. October is an ideal month to take part in such an outing since the crisp autumn air and fall colours add to the hiker's enjoyment. The general public is invited to spend the afternoon close to nature. By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS Bob Marshall, Kitchener spent the weekend at the home of his parents Mr. & Mrs. Lorne Marshall.

Brock of Exeter, Beloved hus- band of Leone (Mott), of Exeter, and dear father of Mrs. Tom Ogle (Irene), of Strathroy, Mrs. Jim Rowcliffe (Anna), of Lon- don, Thomas Brock, of Usberrie Township, and Ronald Motz, of Toronto, Dear brother of Gar- field Brock Of Clinton, Also sur- vived by sixteen grandchildren and one great-gratidchild. The funeral was held Monday from the Hopper-Hockey dnerai Home with Rev. Harold Snell of- ficiating. Ititertrkent in ZiOn Cemetery, at $600. During the week, the local detachment officers paid 47 charges under the Highway Traffic Act, five under the Liquor Licence Act and two under the Criminal Code, ding on the orientation of the group," he said. Mr. Sturdy said he hasn't seen a major issue surface yet among the various comments on the plan. He said some people have ex- pressed concern over the recommendation that 1,000 campsites be maintained at the park with 267 closed on a rotating basis for rehabilitation. "Some people were worried they'd lose something. But if the campsites are,cverused they'd lose it anyway because people won't want to camp there," he said. Construction of a visitor ser- vices centre, shower facilities and dune crossing structures have received generally favourable comment. A brief submitted from the Toronto branch of the Sierra Club, said greater emphasis should be placed on such passive winter activities 'as hiking and skiing, rather than dune buggies, motor bikes and fOur-wheel drive vehicles. The proposed plan recommends snowmobiles re- main in the park while dune buggies, motor bikes and four- wheel drive vehicles be banned. "We do not think it appropriate to separate snowmobiles from other terrain vehicles," the brief said. Mr, Sturdy said, however, snowmobile traffic has been on the decline for five or six years and he doesn't anticipate a problem. A brief from the Lambton Wildlife Incorporated of Sarnia strongly agrees with the general direction of the proposed plan and the decision not to increase campsites. It does express con- cern that the river is not being used to its fullest potential, however, and says small trees near campsites should be pruned rather than removed. Generally speaking Mr. Sturdy said he was discouraged and dis- appointed with the amount of feedback from the plan. While the deadline for com- ment has passed the Chatham of- fice of the Ministry of Natural Resources will still accept com- ment until the end•of the month. "Obviously if someone comes in the next two weeks with a comment we won't just discard it," he said. After all comment is gathered the plan goes to Natural Resources Minister Frank Miller for consideration. Final approval of a revised master plan is ex- pected next summer, Mr, Sturdy said. MAN BITTEN Dogs continued to be a problem for area residents this week, Donald Geiger, RR 2 Zurich, was bitten while he was walking near the Hensall District Co-Op property east of Zurich, The animal was the watch dog at the CO-Op, The incident occurred around 5:00 p.m., Friday, Geiger sustained lacerations on his arms' Police report only few calls Although Exeter Merchants have reported a drastic increase in the incidence Of shoplifting since school started this Month, those statistics don't show up at the police office, "If people don't contact the police, I don't see what council can do," Reeve Si Simmons said when the subject was broached at this week's meeting of council. However, even if the mer- chants do call police, the main attack against shoplifters remains with the store owners according to Chief Ted Day. He attended the council meeting after being informed by letter of the increase in shoplif ting and said that basically, shoplifting was an internal problem for the store owners, He said his department has not received any reports of shoplifting since school opened and added there have only been eight reports since January. Of those eight incidents, two resulted in juveniles being ap- prehended. "It's up to the merchants to look after their display racks," he told council. "If they see something, they should ' call police," Day said that after receiving complaints from the board of management of the Downtown Improvement Area, he wrote the local school principals and asked them to warn students about the serious consequences of shoplifting, Mayor Bruce Shaw wondered what the merchants expected council to do about the situation. "Put a council member in every store," Chief Day remarked. "If they're not going to call the police, it is not up to us," Sim- mons added. In a statement given to the T-A this week, Chief Day notes that most shoplifting reports from merchants come too late and with too little information to give police much to work on, He said on most occasions the merchants can not even tell when the shoplifting occurred. In pointing out that the responsibility for looking out for shoplifters falls to the store owner, he said they should make sure they have sufficient staff on duty and that stock is displayed in such a way that the staff can keep an eye on it. He urged merchants to stagger staff over lunch hours so there would be sufficient numbers working to keep an eye on customers. Merchants should also ask themselves how goods and merchandise can be stolen from their stores and then take steps to prevent those thefts Day suggested. He also offered the following suggestions for local merchants to help them fight shoplifting or other theft attempts: --Keep a close watch on your merchandise when it is placed on display stands. --The cash register should be used only when actually ringing up a sale. --Close the cash drawer before wrapping up merchandise. --Do not allow a customer to distract you while another customer is roaming about a display counter, --Advise your employees to accept payment from only one customer at a time. --Do not become rattled by an impatient or fast-talking customer. Never be in a hurry to make change. --If a person is observed stealing merchandise, make sure that the suspect leaves the premises. After leaving, then stop him and hold him for police. —If you can not stop the suspect, observe what he is wearing, his age and which way he goes. --Get a general description of the person. If he gets into a vehicle, get the licence number. --When you are observing all of the above, it would be a good idea to get another employee to call police.
