The board asked its executive committee to check into items handled in committee of the whole to see if more can be brought into the public forum. Herb Turkheim, Zurich trustee, said he was con­ cerned that the board was dealing with too many items in committee of the whole. He said the last private ses­ sion the board had took three hours which he said was three times longer than the board normally spends at its monthly sessions, The committee of the Fees up in Usborne Increase in fees for building permits were ap­ proved at the latest meeting of Usborne township council held January 31. Anyone building a new home in Usborne will now pay $125 for a building per­ mit. The fee for a new barn will be $100 and additions to either will be $45. New implement sheds will require a $45 permit charge and $30 for a silo, granary or any permit for a structural change. Building inspector Her­ man Van Wieren reported one permit issued during January for an extension to a barn with work valued at $2,000. Road superintendent John Batten was authorized to call tenders for a number of commodities. These include a FM radio communications system; gasoline, diesel fuel and furnace oil; supply and application of crushing 20,- 000 cubic yards of gravel, 220 tons of calcium chloride and 10,000 gallons of road oil. Clerk-treasurer Harry Strang reported that the un­ paid total of 1977 taxes is $14,399.96 and the list has been sent to the auditors for confirmation to the delin­ quent ratepayers. Approval was given for the purchase of a Minalta Electrostatic copier and cabinet from Skeoch Business Equipment Ltd. for $1,328.50. A special meeting will be held in the afternoon of February 13 to review the reports on repair and im­ provement of the Taylor and Cann-Morgan municipal drains and construction of the Rundle, Allen and Zion drains. Council has been notified by Ontario Hydro that rates for the 12 lights in Kirkton be increased from $35.83 to $38.57 and the 11 lights in Woodham to the same figure. Smoke ban tried again Members of Exeter coun­ cil agreed this week to adhere to a bylaw that prohibits smoking in the council chambers. That bylaw was approved about 10 years ago, but was only enforced for some three meetings. In broaching the subject, Mayor Bruce Shaw said that a break would be scheduled in the meetings to allow smokers to escape to the hall for a few puffs. Councillor Derry Boyle said he wouldn’t oppose the move, noting he would merely take a smoke break when he felt the necessity. A straw vote taken by Shaw indicated no one in op­ position, although Reeve Si Simmons said it was taking another freedom away. Shaw replied that smoking removed the freedom Of others to breath clean, fresh air. Councillor Boyle, who was puffing on a cigarette throughout the discussion, was then told to butt it by the Mayor and the latter told deputy-clerk Brian Parsons to have the ash trays remov- ed from the council chambers following the meeting. About 10 minutes later, Mayor Shaw looked up and startled members with the exclamation: “what in hell are you doing, Derry?” Boyle had lit up another cigarette. He apologized and quickly butted it. Non-smokers out­ numbered smokers by a narrow 7-6 margin in the council chambers, Monday. whole sessions allow the board to deal with specific matters and the policy ex­ cludes members of the media and the public from the meeting room. Normally personnel matters or legal situations which could be adversely affected by public attention are handled in committee of the whole. The board changed its meeting policy in 1977 and now sets aside a special night to handle committee of the whole matters. In the past the board met on its regular meeting date and set aside one hour to handle committee of the whole af­ fairs. Under the new system it meets on a specified night and after the committee of the whole meeting the trustees hold board com­ mitteemeetings. Goderich Trustee Cayley Hill said he shared some of the concerns of Turkheim because committee of the whole is misconstrued. He said certain sectors of the community feel that the board is dealing with a lot of items behind the curtain of committee of the whole and is really operating the education system in that manner. Hill said that is not the case, pointing out that in most cases sensitive issues are handled in private for the benefit of trustees who want to ask certain questions or provide conver­ sation they feel would be dif­ ficult to do in public. “It might be advisable for the board to identify the sub­ jects being dealt with in committee of the whole before the board goes into committee,” said Hill. He added that to permit com­ mittees meeting after the private session of the board to plan their agendas the board may endeavor to out­ line what will be done in the committee of the whole and keep subjects as “confined as possible”. Turkheim said the lengthy committee of the whole sessions were not giving board committees enough time to handle their business after the board session. He added that four trustees, members of the executive committee, drive to Clinton for the committee of the whole session and have no business after that and the board pays the cost for them to be there. He suggested that by reverting to the old system of meeting in private before the regular board meeting the board may save money. Board chairman R.J. Eliott suggested that the ex­ ecutive committee could meet as well as the other board committees which Fair board view slides A showing of slides of the Exeter Fail Fair for the past 25 years featured Friday’s annual meeting of the Exeter Agricultural Society. The slides dating back to the 100th anniversary of the fair in 1954 were from the collection of the late A. J. “Jake” Sweitzer who was one of the fair’s most en- thusiastic supporters through the years. The 1978 fair will be held on Friday and Saturday, September 22 and 23. The newly elected president is Roy Pepper. He succeeds Jack Stewart who held the position for the last two years. Pat Down is president of the ladies division and Agnes Aunger heads the school fair section. In reporting on area and provincial conventions, secretary Garnet Hicks said “enthusiasm shown by fair boards in Ontario during the past ’ 12 years is just out of this world.” Hicks said he thought there was still time for area farmers to participate in the Farmstead Home Improvement competition which is being held in con­ junction with the 1978 International plowing match being held September 26 to 30 of this year near Wingham. The financial report presented by secretary Hicks showed an increase in the Society’s bank balance of $1,697,25 from the 1977 an­ nual meeting. In addition to this surplus, the Society turned $871.71 over to the South Huron Rec Centre for use of tho new facilities and grounds for the 1977 fair. These monies wore the proceeds of the Sunday afternoon jamborbe held the day following the fair, He Said the Friday night crowd was higher than previous yOars. Admissions Friday night totalled $2,080. would permit the board to take full advantage of the time of the executive com­ mittee members. Shirley Hazlitt, trustee for Colborne, reminded the board that the new system of committees and meetings was adopted by the board on a or.e-year trial basis. She said that if the board only tries the system once it isn’t “being fair to the system”. She added that already some things are being taken out of committee of the whole referring to one item on the agenda that last year she felt would not have been made public. Elliott reminded the board that a motion had been pass­ ed that committee of the whole sessions begin at 7:00 p.m. sharp and not go longer and an hour and a half. He said combined with the ex­ ecutive committee’s screen­ ing of committee of the whole agenda this may solve the problem. The chairman said the board may have to start on the committee of the whole agenda and handle what business it can within the time frame. What business isn’t taken care of will have to be done in public at the regular board meeting, 4 it «*IS*#*'' ■**W^**4*4*-4-WHk SPORTS TALK — The master of ceremonies at Tuesday's Sportsmen's dinner was Bill Brady at CFPL Radio.

Bell hits headlines Former Exeter lawyer Elmer Bell was the subject of front page headlines in Toronto papers this week when it was reported he was still drawing his full salary of $42,000 as Ontario Police Commission chairman, despite the fact he is work­ ing only part time in that capacity. He said he would be “more than pleased” if his salary was cut off and a replacement for him found. The commission chairman said he asked the Ontario government early last fall to find a replacement, and since November has been doing the job on a part-time basis. He is working with the Listowel law firm of Pratt and Johns, but said he isn’t getting paid and doesn’t feel he can take on any court work until he’s off the police commission. Bell now spends an average of two days on com­ mission work, but was quoted as saying “I think I have earned my salary.” He notes that when he assumed the position he was told it would be a four-day job, but he found it more time con­ suming than that. CORRECTION In the news item last week concerning metric conver­ sion by the Exeter PUC, an error appeared in that the story indicated water would be measured by cubic yards. That, of course, should have read cubic meters. DISTRICT OBITUARIES Exeter clerk dies week after retiring Eric Carscadden, former clerk of Exeter, died at his residence Monday, less than a week after he had retired from his duties with the town. “The shock is amazing ... it’s unbelievable someone could be gone so quickly,” commented Mayor Bruce Shaw when he paid tribute to Mr. Carscadden at the open­ ing of Monday night’s coun­ cil session, “He will be missed by all of us and our sympathies go Out to Marg and Jim,” he continued. Before asking council to observe a moment's silence in memory of the former town official, the Mayor said that Mr. Carscadden had “lived his job” and probably never received the attention and remuneration that he deserved for his work with the municipality. The retired clerk died of a heart attack at his Gidley St. residence on Monday. He was 65. He is survived by his wife, the former Margaret Miners, one son, Dr. Jim Carscadden, St. John’s New­ foundland and one brother, William Carscadden, Russell, Ont. He was predeceased by a daughter, Marion in 1971. The funeral will be con­ ducted today (Thursday) from the R.C. Dinney Funeral Home at 2:00 p.m. Interment will be in Exeter cemetery. Mr. Carscadden was a member of the cemetery board, and had served as secretary-treasurer of several municipal groups during his tenure as clerk, treasurer and tax collector.
