technicians in this part of
Africa,
Four of seven wells were in
various stages of completion

Rev.. Reps Cummings,

concern was the urgent need
for public and private action

resources. The report
recognized the importance of
nuclear power as part of the
integrated energy mix in
Ontario, in a period of
transition , to a more

Canada's role in furthering

Continued from front page
until the Official Plan
Review which was required
within one year. He
presented a brief at the
Township public meeting on
September 26, 1979 asking
the land be redesignated golf
course and residential.
He did not receive written
response from the township
as promised and decided to
apply directly to the county
with the option of going to the
OMB to have • the land
redesignated. He applied to
the county on February 25,
1980 and the application was
acknowledged on February
27, 1980.
In the interim, the town-
ship without notice to
Westcott, passed a by-law
zoning only Westcott's
property for what is called
agriculture: special use
status zone, permitting a golf
course, a golf course
clubhouse, accessory uses
and buildings to a golf course
and a golf course clubhouse,
agriculture.
The Exeter Golf Course is
now the only zoned property
in the township and thus the
only property in the township
which -is subject to the
Agricultural Code of
Practice.
Reeve Palmer asked the
county planner if the land
was "quick zoned" to
comply with county planning
policies to which Davidson
replied the by-law prevents
residential lots being
developed.
Palmer remarked it did
not seem fair when the land
was zoned open space in the
original county plan.
Davidson pointed out the
residential lots were never
recognized: that under the
chequerboarding pattern,
the land was not divided into
lots, but rather parts.
When Palmer asked why
Westcott had been in-
correctly informed he would
have the chance to appeal
the designation before the
county planning board,
Davidson said the county
council does not hear ap-
peals.
The delegation before
county council on Thursday
was there to provide in-
formation regarding the
recommendation to council
from the planning board.
Davidson said the ap-
plication to planning board
was the first time Westcott
had made an application
directly to the -county. All
other appeals were made to
the municipality.
Palmer said she would not
support the planning board's
recommendation and told
council she wanted a more
realistic proposal to be
prepared by the planning
department and brought to
council.She voted against the
recommendation.
Pearson said in his brief it
would appear local planning
-is determined to concentrate
on making life as difficult as
possible for one man,
namely, Westcott.
"In the olden days, it used
to be called persecution: it is
certainly not planning,"
stated Pearson in his brief.
The matter has been blown
up out of all proportion and
many red herrings have
been drawn into the
discbssion. Pearson added
that he'has had the privilege
of doing consulting work for
the Ontario Golf Association
and he knows of no other golf
course in Ontario which has
been so adversely treated.
"It sticks out like a sore
thumb," commented
Pearson.
Main Street
Continued from front page
from Gerry Gray, Olsen said
that the development of the
three areas was estimated at
just under' $100,000, leaving
the other $50,000 for some of
the parking area projects
envisioned by the BIA.
The BIA project com-
mittee chairman, Mike
Williamson, said the plans
"look fantastic" and said he
appreciated the forthright
comments of the Legion
regarding the cenotaph.
"We're not working in a grey
area," he said in reference to,
the stand taken by the
Legion.
The final questioned
fielded by Olsen was from
Gerry Gray who wondered
what the annual main-
tenance costs may be for the
three areas to be developed.
He was told that the
maintenance costs would
perhaps be less than the
current expenditures
because there would be no
grass to cut. and all the
plantings were designed for
low maintenance.
He said the basic concept
in planning today is to go to
higher capital costs to cut
annual maintenance costs.
The planner said there would
be some annual costs in-
volved in planting flowers
and watering, but otherwise
there would be little main-
tenance involved.
Dear Sir:
Another hockey season has
gone by in Parkhill. One
team won the Silver Stick,
the International Silver
Stick, (two years in a row)
and also won the All' Ontario
Pee Wee C Championship.
The other team won the
Silver Stick, and went to the
finals in the Atom C
Championship. Our
hometown paper never saw
fit to 'even put an editorial
about these boys. Also the
town of Parkhill, Ailsa
Craig, East Williams, West
Williams and McGillivray
never even mentioned a
word of thanks to the men
that put in their time as
coaches and managers for
the teams. -
In these days when so
many kids get into trouble,
we should give recognition to
kids that are an asset to our
community.

Dear Sir:
As Bell Canada manager
for this area, I would like the
opportunity to comment on a
couple of points made by
Roger Worth, of the
Canadian Federation of
Independent Business, in his
article Bucking,Bell Canada,
Exeter Times-Advocate
issue of April 16, 1980.
Bell Canada's business
line rates are not the highest
in the country. The rate in
Toronto is $27.35 a month,
but in Vancouver it is $27.75
and in Halfax $28.85.
When comparing the
Business rate in Quebec City
($23.15) with Edmonton
($17.95), it must be
remembered that the
government-owned Edm-
onton system has a different
financial structure, It does
not pay corporate income
tax and certain other taxes.
Whereas, in 1979 the
telephone operations of Bell
Canada incurred total
municipal, provincial and
federal taxes estimated at
$524.4 million.
Yours truly,
P.D. Croome
Area manager, Bell Canada

Dear Mr, Batten,
In response to the April
23 write up, thank you; we
are happy with and proud of
our medical centre and the
very competent doctors.
Regarding the rabbits, you
tickled our funny bones,
however we did not get as
carried away as you did.
I for one am just plain
angry at one marauding
rabbit, who first of all ate the
greens of our hedges, then
the crocusses and then the
bleeding hearts; our
vegetable garden, when
planted will probably be next
on the list.
I certainly know our
elected officials have many
responsibilities. However, I
don't think I am wasting
their time or money (in
reality the taxpayers'
money). 'I think they are
there to take care of the little
as well as the big things.
In closing I wish to say
please • don't call us
"distorted people".
Thank you.
Mary Roobal
