I LI I limn S LONDON, 201 C)u ns Avenue. 439-2471 Usborne battling tax jump Usborne township council will be supporting a resolution by the Huron Federation of Agriculture to counter the heavy shift of municipal taxes to farm land. Council also indicated it was in favour of the Federation organizing a meeting of all rural municipalities in the county. A land severance ap- plication at part of Lot 9, South East Boundary Concession was approved as it is a trucking depot and hog assembly point and fits in with the agricultural service provision of the township's secondary plan, Ontario Home Renewal Plan officer Bill Routly reported one loan of $500 completed and progress payment of $4,620 on another. Road supertindent John Batten reported completion of the road construction program and said the gravel contractor was making good progress. A bylaw for the branch "C" extension of the Sereda municipal drain was passed and the contract was let to G.W. Clarke Drainage for $7,165. The work is to be completed this fall. A report from drainage engineer C.P. Corbett in- dicated work under con- struction on the Allen requisition drain was adequate to divert water complained about. Council will seek advice regarding disposition of the $300 deposit made by William Allen. Council heard annual reports from Ken Duncan of the Upper Thames Valley Conservation Authority and Roy Westcott and William Mungall of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority. The township will be co- operating with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in a tree planting program with the County of Huron paying 50 percent of the cost and the Ministry, township and individual ratepayer each contributing 25 percent.

Standards law meeting is set The controversial property standards bylaw which is proposed for Exeter won't be circulated to local residents for their perusal prior to a public meeting to discuss the matter. However, , anyone wishing to see a copy of the bylaw which sets forth many requirements for the maintenance of property and buildings, may get a copy at the town office. A ,public meeting, which is required by law, will be held at South Huron District High School on October 17. The bylaw must be passed before the Exeter Business Improvement Area can receive $150,000 loan from the provincial government for downtown restoration and beautification. The regulations were discussed at council's last meeting, with several ob- jections being raised. Five charged over incidents Exeter Police Cimstable Kevin Short spent a busy holiday weekend clearing up investigations into a number of incidents, dating as far back as February. As a result, three juveniles and two local youths face a variety of charges, ranging from theft and wilful damage to break and enter. Included in the incidents were the February van- dalism at Exeter Public School when over $600 damage was caused as 108 screens were slashed and several windows broken. There was the August 1 theft of a car owned by Reg Stagg which was driven into a tree across from the Exeter Legion; the theft of money and soft drinks from the residence of Arnold Mathers; theft of $20 in cash from Exeter Furniture; a breakin at Frayne Chest- Olds; the theft of a car from the residence of Peter Raymond; theft of an $850 dirt bike from the Sanders St. residence of Jim Scott which was recovered in a corn field east of Exeter this weekend; theft of a pickup from the residence of Arnold Mathers; damage to the north side of Dinney Fur- niture which was struck by a car this past Friday. Abortions Continued from front page He said the Huron-Perth Separate School system operated an excellent family studies course for prehigh school students adding he was unaware of a similar course for public school students. He pointed out that one of the problems encountered in sex education classes is that it is more fashionable to give information to students rather than work on at- titudes. Lynch said lie felt most women were unaware of ill effects abortions can cause. He said many women regard abortion as convenient and easy. He said the Criminal Code made abortion illegal unless it was performed for medical reasons but added that many doctors are interpreting social reasons as health reasons. He pointed out that the abortions on women from Huron county were per formed in other counties. He said abortion was a touchy subject pointing out that if one was performed in a small hospital in Huron there would be a great deal of "flak". Representatives from Hay and Hensall met with residents of the proposed annexation area last night in an effort to eliminate some of the opposition from the property owners who will be affected by the move. At their meeting, Tuesday, members of Hensall council felt they had answers to most of the concerns of the Hay residents who live in the annexed area, but were also resigned to the fact that the matter will probably have to go to the Ontario Municipal Board to be resolved. "We have good answers if we can convince them," Reeve Harold Knight suggested, although he quickly added he expected there would have to be an OMB hearing. Council designated Knight, Councillor Paul Neilands and clerk Betty Oke to attend the meeting with the eight objectors from Hay Town- ship, while that municipality will be represented by Reeve Jack Tinney, Deputy-Reeve Lloyd Mousseau and clerk Joan Ducharme. In answer to some of the objections raised by the residents of the area proposed for annexation, it was learned that mail ser- vice will continue for them as usual and ministry of the environment officials have indicated they will not have to hook up to water or sewer services unless they request Two pay for carets ss driving Fines levied under WA Annexation bylaw okay such services. Knight noted that the Hay residents would have much lower hydro rates if they were included in Hensall, which he said has the lowest hydro rates in Ontario. It was explained that the hydro rates for the Hay residents would drop by 34 percent. "They have everything to gain and nothing to lose," suggested Councillor Klaas VanWieren. One area of dispute has still not been resolved and that is the matter of school bus service. It has been indicated that if the area is annexed, the service will terminate immediately for the Hay students in the area who attend Hensel] Public School, although the village will attempt to have the Huron board of education phase out the service rather than terminate it im- mediately. Knight said he hoped the service could be continued until at least the end of the current school year and he will meet with education officials later this month in an effort to gain that con- cession. Knight said he was not looking for any type of confrontation with the Hay residents at the meeting and said•he felt the village had a definite yes or no answer to all the objections listed. A bylaw was passed at Tuesday's meeting to proceed with the application for annexation with the OMB and a surveyor was named to prepare the necessary certificates to accompany the application. Two area men were given fines for charges laid under the Unemployment Insurance Act when they appeared before Judge W.G. Cochrane in Exeter court, Tuesday. The court was held at the town offices because the Legion Hall was being used for trials arising out of the strike at Fleck Manufacturing. Peter Overall, Huron Park, was fined $50 or five days on each of three counts involving an overpayment of $380, while Rodger Fink- beiner, Dashwood, was fined $50 or five days on each of two charges involving an overpayment of $524. The court was advised that the money had been repaid in both cases. In the only other case resulting in a fine, David Lloyd Vincent, Huron Park, was fined $100 or 10 days after pleading guilty to a charge, of possession of marijuana. He was given 30 days in which to pay the fine for the September 7 charge. In another case, Kimberly Dawn Emery, London, was given a suspended sentence and placed on probation for one year on a theft charge. Two people were convicted of careless driving when they appeared before Justice of the Peace Douglas 've been hea warm and natural gas, Wediake in Exeter court, Tuesday. Carson A. Kramer, London was fined $108 or 10 days on a charge arising out of an accident on July 29 when the vehicle he was driving hit a car making a left turn at the intersection of Highway 4 and the Crediton Road. Damage in the accident was over $.5,000 and one person was slightly injured. The other driver convicted of careless driving was Joyce M. Reid, Huron Park, whose vehicle went out of control on July 21 and hit a fire hydrant, parked car and a house. She was also fined $108. The accused told the court the accelerator stuck and she was unable to control the vehicle, but the Crown contended the accident was the result of excessive speed. Timothy Vickery, Exeter was fined $104 or 10 days on a charge of consuming liquor in a place other than his residence or licensed premises. That charge was laid on August 27. Charges laid before the fine increase in August resulted in penalties of $54 or five days for Brian Elwood Richards, Guelph, for consuming; John A. Miller, RR 5 Clinton. Gayle R. Scott, London and Ronald Jack Essery, Cen- tralia, for having liquor
