While most of us are en- joying a winter where we don't have to shovel the sidewalk or worry about driving conditions', there are those who are wishing for blizzards,. People who depend on snow banks and low temperatures to earn a living are' finding this very mild winter hard to take For those in the business of plowing and removing snow, this winter has been "very frustrating" according to Bob Jones. Jones runs a gravel business in the summer, but depends on snow to keep him busy in the winter, He has agreements to keep parking lots clear in such places as schools and businesses. Jones saysthat it's beentOo wet for working with gravel, He estimates that his income is down about 85 percent this winter. Jones' employee 1VI'ike Cushman has been on what they call the "snow watch". Cushman gets up each morning at four o'clock to see if any snow has fallen doting the night, but as yet they haven't had to go out that early. Jones says he's been in the snow plowing business for 20 years and he's never seen a winter like this. Brian Sweitzer echoes Jones* statement, claiming that thi 'is the worst year yet for snow plowing. Sweitzer says that he's had to keep busy repairing equipment. During the summer months, he does excavation work, but there are no new housing developments to work on right now. Sweitzer says that he gets paid by the hour for his snow clearing work, and therefore has had no income lately. Fuel dealers and people in the home heating business say that this has been one"of the worst years on record. Fina dealer Dave Moore reckons that his business is down about 30 percent this winter, He says that while the spring-like weather accounts for most of that decrease, the increasing number of wood-burners has also cut into his profits. Jim Rowe, an area Texaco dealer, estimates that his business is down about 30 percent from last year at this point. Rowe agrees that many people are using fire places and wood stoves this winter which cuts into his income, Many people are becoming more energy conscious andeutting back on their heat, he says. Esso dealer Cliff Russell says that their business is down about 10 percent due to the mild weather. Fuel dealers say thatthere is no compensation for them because of the mild weather, other than the fact that it doesn't cost as much to get their trucks around when there's no snow. Many of the dealers said that they have had to look for new accounts to help their business. One dealer pointed out that while the price of oil to the con- sumer may go up, the dealer's profit margin remains the same. Some snow removal workers and fuel agents say that they are watching with interest to see if ski resorts get any compensation from the government to make up for the lack of bilsiness. Most are skeptical 'that any grants or loans will be given out because, as one man said, "you know the business is a gamble anyway. Another problem with helping out those who are losing business due to the lack of snow, is finding a place to draw the line, many said. WINS NOMINATION — Bill Frank, a Hyde Park farm supply operator will be the Progressive Conservative candidate in the London. Middlesex riding in the February 18 federal election. He replaces present MP Nelson Elliott who was forc- ed to resign because of ill- ness. Mr. Frank represented the London-Middlesex. Lambton riding from 1972- 1974 before being defeated by Larry Condon. No decision was made by Exeter council this week on a formal request from • the Masonic Lodge to forego property tax on the new hall built by the lodge behind the Exeter OPP office on High- way 4 north. / The matter was turned over to the executive and finance committee for study after lodge members B.W. Tuckey and Don Webster appeared before council to ask for the tax relief. In a letter accompanying the request, Tuckey said a "small unpaid balance" remains on the hall and since it is owned by a non-profit organization, asked that the facility be free from taxation for a "period of time." When asked by Councillor Jay Campbell how many years they were suggesting, Tuckey replied that he was hoping council would see fit to defer taxes for seven years. "We'll be on our feet before that," Tuckey added. Tuckey noted there was some precedent in that the local Legion had not paid taxes on their building for a period of five or seven years and Campbell said the local curling club had also been granted similar relief. However, clerk Liz Bell indicated the curling club never did get! tax relief. such things as toboggans and snowshoes. "I'd like to see - about six feet. of snow right now," Grenier says, Ron Bogart of RSD Sports Pen in Exeter says that his, sales of cross country skis are clown. about 75 percent, compared to. last year. Bogart says that the skis. they haven't been able to sell will have to be stored until next winter, Sales of snow products are down about 35 percent at Jerry Maclean and Son In Exeter, according to Maclean. Ski and. snowmobile accessory sales were well up before Christmas but have now decreased. Most sporting goods salesmen say that :they Tuckey, said the lodge member's had been can- vassed two or three times for funds to pay for the building and added that it would, "be a shame" to go back to the members again for ad- ditional funds, although he reported that sonie members had not contributed. Councillor Don Cameron suggested the matter be sent to the committee for study and recommendation, although Campbell indicated he was prepared to make a decision Monday night, noting that the lodge had made contributions to the community. In his letter, Tuckey ex- plained that the Masonic lodges throughout the country contribute large sums of money to assist the poor and suffering of the country in general, and in more special cases by sponsoring the burns hospital and assisting people needing help with their hearing. Council learned that the taxes on the building last year would have been $1,308 if the facility had been oc- cupied for the entire year. The lodge did not request tax relief on the building I they erected for the OPP and Tuckey said that facility will carry itself over a long period of time. haven't been too severely hurt by the lack of winter weather because they are able to sell other products. Hockey .equipment is selling very well this winter, perhaps because people aren't out skiing, or snowmobiling, they speculate. "We're happy with our business, in spite of the lack of snow," Maclean says. He says their Radio Shack sales are up and car and home stereos, which don't usually sell in January have been moving well. Son Gary speculates that because of the good driving conditions more people have been able to come out and shop, than in most Januarys, At •Hully Gully owner Randy Collins says that snowmobile isales. are down About 30 percent from last year. Collins says -that their rental business has been ,severely hurt by the lack of snovi..as well. Collins says. there has been no winter camping at Hully Gully and Christmas holidays were not busy, as they usually • are. "But we've just swung over to motorcycles early this year," be adds. Collins says his seven. full time employees are assembling and recon, ditioning dirt bikes rather. than working on snow machines. Many people have 'been in to test the new bikes, he says* Collins says that they are still anticipating snow and are prepared for At. He rejects the possibility of any government aid for the lack of business, "I'm for free enterprise, we don't need any handouts," he says, Collins says the past years have been very good .for the. snowmobile business,. "You've got to remember the good when it's bad, and the bad when it's good, he adds. Don Darling at Country Corners says that although his sales are down, he is still quite pleased with the way snowmobiles are selling. Snowblower .Sales are also down.. Darling says .that people have been looking at the snowmobiles and plan to buy as soon as it snows. Dalbert Robbins at Milt Robbins and Son says that sales of snowblowers ore down 75perceut compared to last January. But because- of the - spring-like weather condition, he says he's been. busy selling and repairing. chain saws, John. Remkes of Rernkes, Enterprises said that although snowmobiles aren't moving, he's sold. a record number of motorcycles for January* At Pineridge Chalet, Shirley Mousseau says that despite the lack of snow, the, snowmobile club has 'been getting together and en- joying -.card parties. Mrs. .Mousseau expressed con, Cern about funds for charities usually raised by snowmobile club drives. She 'says that a run for Crippled Children usually held in January has 'been re- scheduled for February 3, Mrs. Mousseau says that a course in driver's education for snowmobilers is going to be held indoors if there isn't any snow, There have been very few winter campers out,:and food sales at the chalet are down this year, she added, SIDNEY FLETCHER Sidney Lawrence Fletcher, suddenly as the result of a fire, in La Ronge, Saskat- chewan, age 47 years.

Albert Van T-A photo Are budget was lower than expected ' This year's budget has been set at $62,766. The shares were outlined as Exeter $31,383,' Usborne $18,830, Stephen $8,787, Hay $3,765. A $20,000 addition to the south bay was removed from the budget until the four councils can study the matter further. Mayor Derry Boyle told Exeter council this week that the addition would be needed for the new pumper which Will be ordered in 1981 for delivery in 1982. He said the question was'whether. Exeter wanted to own all the property on their own as they presently do, or whether some cost-sharing should be, worked out with the other three municipalities. He suggested that if the townships were to join in the capital cost of the new ad- dition, they may want to share in the ownership of the entire facility which was purchased by Exeter for $28,000. Councillor Ted Wright said he thought the town should maintain ownership of the building to avoid any problems such as those being experienced by other fire area boards in the district. Minutes of the December 19 meeting of the fire board showed that Hay Reeve Jack Tinney has been elected chairman for this year. He was asked to see if the county museum would be interested in having the 1944 pumper put on display in their facility. Rec wages Continued from page 1 withdrawn, but it was, despite some question of the procedural legality of the move. Deputy-Reeve Harold Patterson then presented a motion to approve the in- creases and it was backed by Cameron, Epp and Wright, with Campbell, Williamson and MacGregor opposed. Cameron said the board may not have the authority, but they were operating under the assumption they do and had discussed salaries in good faith with the employees. At the end of the discussion, Campbell presented a motion that the ministry of recreation and culture be asked to conduct an inquiry into the bylawed relationship between Exeter council and the board of management to (1) clearly outline the recreation financial management responsibilities of both parties and (2) make recommendations as to how to establish a sound working relationship. The motion was approved by council. A report given to council shows the 1980 salaries for the four full-time employees as follows: recreation ad- ministrator, $17,082; facilities manager, $14,826; facilities supervisor, $12,999; secretary-bookkeeper, $5.20 per hour.
