The senior citizen’s
monthly meeting was held
on April 4 in the Exeter
Legion Hall with about 40
members present. The first
hour was spent in cards and
crokonole.
They were then enter
tained by a group of Dutch
people from the different
Dutch Churches in Exeter,
led by Al De Haan. Their
rendition of some beautiful
numbers were enjoyed by all
present. Much credit is due
these people in their
dedication to the singing
and also to Mr. De Haan for
his leadership.
This group have enter
tained us several times
before and are always will
ing to help out. Several other
musical numbers were
given by Nelson Squires on
mouth organ, Andy Orr on
saxophone and Mrs. Bullock
on piano. Business was dealt
with by the president Mrs.
Rundle and secretary Mrs.
Finkbeiner. Next 'meeting
will be first Tuesday of May.
The zone meeting of all
senior citizens groups in this
part of Huron will be held in
the Legion Hall on April 12
at 10 a.m.

The Grand Bend Lions and
Legion would like to main
tain control of the newly
acquired community
parkland, but economics
may force them to turn it
over to the village.
A joint committee of the
Lions and Legion has reach
ed an agreement with the
village that registers the
property in the villages
name but leaves the control
of the land with the com
mittee. The only snag is that
some grants may not be
available under the system,
said Paul Couse, chairman
of the seven man com
mittee.
‘‘The community centres
grant people aren’t sure
they like us being in control.
We don’t really want to give
it up, but the grant is for
$10,000 initially and more in
the future,” he said.
A meeting is being arrang
ed with the people con
trolling the grants.
The committee plans to
build a ball diamond, soccer
field, and children’s play
ground on the 3.3 acres of
land adjacent to the Legion.
They have already applied
for a Wintario grant.
‘‘We are the parties in
terested in making this thing
work. Members of council
are interested now, but we
don’t know if the next coun
cil will be. If things are left
with us, then they will get
done,” Couse said.
A fence has to be built
around the property and the
land levelled. Construction
of the ball diamond and
soccer field should start
next year, Couse said.
A swimming pool and a
recreation centre may be
constructed in the future as
well, he said.
The two clubs purchased
the land from Jim Patterson
for $40,000.
The purchase was funded
by the Legion and Lions
Clubs at no cost to the Grand
Bend taxpayer. The com
mittee is planning several
fund raising events to help
pay for the park, Couse said.

No firm date yet
for resort sewers
Grand Bend council still
does not have a firm starting
date for the village sewer
project following a meeting
Tuesday with represen
tatives of the ministry of en
vironment.
Although council failed to
get a firm date, they were
told the project is running on
schedule, said Bob Sharen,
village reeve.
Sharen said council was
assured there was money in
the budget for the project.
Construction of the sewers
should start no later than
April 1979, he said.
“It looks good. The only
thing is that we wanted a
firm commitment on when
the project would start and
we didn’t get it.” he said.
The plans for the project
should be completed by the
end of August allowing for
tenders to be prepared. The
actual construction will take
The readers write
about 10 months at an es
timated cost of $3.1 million.
This estimate may change,
said Sharen.
Council did receive a
guarantee that construction
along Main street would not
take place during the
summer months when the
tourist season is at its peak,
he said.
Originally, council was to
meet with the minister of
the environment, George
McCague, but the minister
was required to be in the
legislature because of a non
confidence motion in the
government.
Grand Bend is responsible
for paying 25 per cent of the
total cost of the sewer pro
ject, with a 40 year repay
ment period. The average
residence with a 60 foot fron
tage will be required to pay
$140 more per year in taxes
and usage charges.

The Mutual Life of Canada
MP Larry Condon was
chosen by acclamation
Monday night to represent
the Liberal party in the new
federal riding of Lambton-
Middlesex in the next
election.
Condon said later he will
have to work hard to pick up
the approximate 22,000
urban London voters lost
when the riding of London-
Middlesex-Lambton was
changed through
redistribution last year.
‘‘It’s going to be tough to
pickup those votes,” he said.
“I’ll have to knock on doors
and meet the new people in
the riding.”
About 200 turned out at the
community centre in Arkona
to see Condon win his second
nomination.
Condon, 43, who first en
tered politics in 1964 as a
council member in
Strathroy, said he will make
agriculture his main cam
paign theme.
He said he will try to bring
to public attention the
problems facing farmers to
day.
The riding is now almost
entirely rural and includes
all of Middlesex County west
of Komoka between
Elgin County line and
the
Lake
Huron, and all of Lambton
County except the City of
Sarnia and Sarnia and Moore
townships.
Of secondary importance
to Condon’s campaign is
Canada’s current economic
situation.
He indicated he will try to
give the approximately
50,000 consituents in the new
riding hope about the present
economic situation and
convince them to put more
faith in Canada’s economy.
After Condon was
nominated, MP Charles
Turner (L-London East)
gave a brief election-style
speech which recapped
advances in agricultural
policy during the term of the
Trudeau government.
But Turner said the up
coming election is going to
be tough and will be fought
“at the polls and on the
street.”
Joe Clark is a young,
inexperienced politician,
Turner said. “But he has
some of the greatest political
advisers the Progressive
Conservative party has ever
had. It’s going to be a tough
election.”

PLAN BALL MEETING
An organizational meeting
for minor ball in Exeter will
be held Tuesday, April 24 at
7:00 p.m. at the South Huron
Rec Centre.
Any adult that is willing to
coach or assist in any way,
or those people generally in
terested in boys or girls soft-
ball are askea to attend.
In the report on the Exeter
PUC meeting concerning
the possible change in the
source for the town’s power,
The Times-Advocate made
some errors and omissions.
There are four reasons
why the PUC is concerned
about the possibility of an
alternate feed.
The line distance to
Seaforth is approximately
three times the distance to
Centralia with the possibili
ty of three times the number
of faults because of greater
exposure.
While the present line
from the Centralia station to
Exeter which is along
highway 4 is of new con
struction and easily patroll
ed if a fault occurs, the line
from Seaforth is of much
older construction and
across fields which makes
patrols more difficult and
faults longer to repair.
The line from Seaforth,
due to the distance would
have lower voltage, and not
higher voltage as was
reported in the T.A. when it
reaches the local sub
stations in Exeter. To com
pensate for this lower
voltage tap changes would
have to be made at the local
sub-stations. In the event the
supply from Seaforth is not
available the Commission
questioned whether the
supply from Centralia would
be suitable as it might be too
high for the local stations
after the transformer taps
had been changed.
The installation of a
regulator north of Exeter
could eliminate the chang
ing of taps at the
local stations, however, the
Commission has been ad
vised that this may not be
considered immediately.
It was stated last week
that the net revenue for the
hydro department of the
PUC had dropped to $13,-
085.31 in 1977 from $28,639.98
in 1976. These statistics
showed the revenue
difference between the in
creased revenue and the in
creased cost of power.
The actual revenue for the
hydro department for
was $759,000.32 and
profit or surplus
$20,066.76.”
