The implement business is presently a legal non- conforming use in a special commercial zoning status given the property, and the bylaw was necessary to extend that non-conforming use. The change had been recommended by the planning board and one of their recommendations to council was that it be ap- proved as long as the firm withdraw their objection to the new zoning bylaw which is now before the Ontario Municipal Board. Gabby Mol advised he would be prepared to with- draw the objection, He will also be required to sign a development agreement which includes such things as hard surface treatment, landscaping, planting strips and a site plan outlining these amenities. In outlining details for the expansion, Mol advised that he would be demolishing one of Exeter's landmarks, the old creamery at the corner of William and Wellington. Councillor Ted Wright lauded that plan, saying the old structure was an eye- sore, During the discussion, Reeve Si Simmons strongly suggested that the planning board should take a long, hard look at the new zoning bylaw and official plan and try to take steps to avoid the necessity for property owners to seek amendments every time they wanted to make some changes. He said the current situation was "damn poor planning". However, planning board member Jay Campbell questioned whether people should be allowed to do anything they wished with their property and said TOO HOT! Owners of some sauna heaters are being urged to stop using them because of a potential fire hazard ac- cording to the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). CSA has investigated two recent reports of fires in Mississauga, Ontario apartment buildings. About 1 100 of these heaters were manufactured by Sauna World Limited from 1972 to 1976. None of these saunas have been certified by CSA although they bear the CSA mark. They were designed to be placed on non-combustible surfaces such as solid concrete floors, but, in the fire incidents, wood un- derneath ceramic tiles, was ignited. Continued from front page that any objections could be made within 21 days, before the question goes to the Ontario Municipal Board. After the meeting, Sharers said he would quit before the issue went to the OMB, "We're going to lose this at OMB, I'm almost positive. I cannot tolerate subsidizing Main street businessmen with the rest of the village," Sharen said. Councillor Harold Green was absent from the meeting, but said he was council had to have sonic control and state what they wanted to see develop in any particular area. "I too get upset at the amount of red tape, but the philosophy (of planning) makes sense to me," he said. No site yet for '82 match The Middlesex County site for the 1982 International Plowing Match is not likely to be chosen until sometime in October, Fred Lewis of London Township says. Mr. Lewis, a director of the Ontario Plowmens' Association, says September is a busy month for the in- ternational committee that is operating this year's match in the Chatham area. The decision was originally to have been made in early summer. Mr. Lewis says that to his knowledge none of the recommended sites has been officially eliminated although most were told to lower prices they want for the use of their land, In fact, he and Middlesex County Plowmens' Association president Wilson Hodgins say the county group has sent along a sixth site, based on the Green family farm. Part of the Strathmere Lodge property, owned by the county, is on the proposed site. Also apparently in the running are Simon Willemse of West Williams, Peter Twynstra of East Williams, Allan Scott. of Biddulph, Nelson Elliott of Thorndale and Donald McDonald of Glencoe, Mr. Willemse said he was told that his requested price is too high, but he has not received word that he eliminated. Mr. Hodgins offers some clarification of the payment situation. Bids are running from about $125 to $400 per acre for land to be occupied by the tent city. But most of the land needed for plowing competition is being offered at about half those rates. Mr. Willemse said he did not want to appear greedy, but he said the plowing match committee is being unrealistic if it thinks it should pay the same rates as in the past few years for an event that is three years in the future. He said he offered a realistic price, based on the loss of at least one year of cash crops and on the effects of inflation on his farm operation. He suggested that some farmers appear to be willing to take losses for the prestige of hosting the plowing match. 800 to 1,000 acres of land are needed for the in- ternational match, very upset to learn that Sharen resigned. "Nobody can take over his job right now, he knows too much about what's going on. I hope like hell the businessmen come to their senses and ask him to stay," Green said. Deputy Reeve Judy Uniac said she has only been on council less than a year, and is not prepared to take over the reeve's job, "I feel very bad Bob has left. No one else would be as dedicated," °bloc said. She said she was shocked at his resignation, but she felt that he must The South Huron Recreation Centre may see a saving of $1,500 on its budget but it will mean hockey players will have to have cooler hot showers. Rec administrator Ian Smith told the rec centre board Monday "That there might be some controversy" but "There's a method to our madness." Smith said he and Alvin Willert had gone over two books from the ministry of culture and recreation and the ministry of energy which mentioned areas in which arenas could save on energy requirments. Smith said the two year old structure already had in- corporated several of the suggestions which were mentioned in the books such as the insulating of the roof. One of the most noticeable changes will be the whitewashing of the ice which will allow the rec centre to use only the florescent lights for certain arena activities such as house league hockey. The rec administrator stressed that the regular lighting would be used for most other activities such as the Hawks' games and practices. For that after game or after practice .shower, users of the arena will notice the water slightly cooler as the hot temperature has been cut back to 110 degrees fahrenheit. This year's ice may be somewhat bumpier as the ice resurfacer will be travellig at a slightly faster speed and as such, will be using less water. In a move which could have thought his actions through, Councillor Keith Crawford said he doesn't know if he could take over as reeve. "I really can't say I blame Bob, he's had it rough lately, he takes the brunt of it," Crawford said, Councillor Bill Baird was not available for comment. Clerk Louise Clipperton said that 'council hasn't yet accepted the Reeve's resignation, and no con- sideration for a replacement has been made. save $300, the snow which has been picked up by the ice machine will be dumped outside rather than using the indoor melting pit. In terms of heat for the stands, Smith told the board that only certain sections of tile stands would have heat for uses which attract few spectators. For events such as the Hawk's games the heating will be at its normal level, he said. All of the arena's user groups will be made aware of the program with Smith saying the measures could be revised. The board deferred a decision on signs for the rec centre until another quote can be obtained. Smith said he had received two quotations for a sign to be located on the west side of arena. On a motion made by Jerry MacLean and seconded by Derry Boyle the board held the matter over Youth stage fall retreat South Huron YFC held their fall retreat at Camp Canbay.

By ALICE GIBB Assessment commissioner Floyd Jenkins, speaking to Huron Federation of Agriculture members in Belgrave Thursday night on the subject of tax equalization factors, told his audience "somebody organized a horse race before there were any horses." He said the big change is that factors for rural municipalities have decreased to a greater ex- tent than they have in urban municipalities across the county. This means "costs to rural municipalities have decreased to a greater ex- tent than they have in urban municipalities across the county, This means "costs to ruraitaxpayers will increase more rapidly then to urban municipalities," the assessment commissioner said, He told the audience he doesn't know how these factors will be used in assessing 1980 taxes and said "anything you hear or read is strictly supposition at this time." He said a "wait and see" attitude is called for, Mason Bailey, an audience member, told Mr. Jenkins, "I don't think the public cares about all this rigamarole other than how much money we're going to pay." Mr. Jenkins said, "You don't know and I don't know that our taxes are going to go up." The matter is now in the hands of the provincial government and a decision from the legislature is ex- pected early this fall. Then municipalities will have between that time and November 1 to appeal the equalization factors. Mr. Jenkins said there isn't any way to find out more information until the provincial government makes their decision. Another federation member asked the assessment commissioner if the basis for calculating the educational tax isn't wrong. The man said "houses, not land, send children to school" and asked whether "we should be taking that view of it municipally?" Mr. Jenkins did assure the audience equalization fac- tors would be calculated on valid farmer-to-farmer sales of land across the county. He pointed out the price of farmland has increased drastically since 1971 when the provincial government put a freeze on assessment. Mr. Jenkins told the federation members, "Inflation in values in urban municipalities has not been as great as inflation in rural municipalities." He said while land prices have gone up for farmland, they haven't increased as much in towns like Clinton and Goderich, Mr, Jenkins concluded by saying the change in the equalization factor will eventually affect all tax- payers, Under the present cost sharing system in ef- fect, the towns and villages in the county pay a greater share of county expenses. However, township residents claim urban populations gain much greater benefit from county services such as sewers and water systems and should pay for those services. Many members of the audience still seemed per- plexed at how the equalization factors will affect their taxes and township mill rate in the coming year at the con- clusion of the meeting. In reviewing his past year as a member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture board of directors, Merle Gunby told federation members he believed the most significant activity was the food industry inquiry initiated by Peter Hannam. He said he feels the food inquiry has pointed out the need for the Ontario CCAT principal Continued from front page capacity in 1967. Jamieson was named head of the livestock division at Centralia in 1972 and con- tinued in that capacity until thee latest appointment. One of his added assign- ments at Centralia has been the organizing and presentation of many yearly short courses since 1969. In June of 1978 he attended a practicum on post- secondary, non-Baccalau- reate studies in Britain. The new CCAT principal resides at 388 AndrerV street Exeter with his wife, the former Beth Goddard and son Scott and daughter Heather. Federation of Agriculture and marketing boards to improve their marketing activities and pointed out the practise of discounts and allowances in the retail food industry to consumers. He said other significant steps had been the amend- ment to the Petty Trespass Act and the institution of the Farm Price Index, which shows the consumer where his food dollar is going. Mr. Gunby said the index, which is carried in many newspapers across the province, "quite often shows farmers are not responsible for the increase in food prices," He said the O1'A's greatest failure was "we failed to get the government to take agriculture seriously." Among examples of this he said they had failed to get the government to take action and pass "decent farm machinery legislation", had failed to stop imports of agricultural products and that GAAT trade negotiations in Tokyo proved disappointing from an agricultural point of view.
