Due to lower than expected revenues and a poor cash" flow, the board have received their full allotment a operating funds from the town and need the $6,700 designated for capital projects to meet payroll and other expenditures. Administrator Ian Smith, who presented the request in his monthly report, Monday, told council that some of the capital projects would have to be delayed and others would be cancelled because investigation found them to be too expensive. He said he had done a revised budget for the board for the final four months of the year and anticipated there would be a deficit of only $713.13. "We expect that we can reduce our expenditures or raise our revenues to offset this amount," he said. In leading the move to provide the board with funds to meet their expenditures, Councillor Jay Campbell said it made sense to him to use the capital fund to meet "pending difficulties". One of the capital ex- penditures yet to be un- dertaken is a $3,500 floor maintenance machine and Smith said it would be delayed, but hopefully not cut: Councillor Al Epp asked if the rec centre was being used to capacity or whether more revenues could be generated. Smith replied that some people were curtailing their recreation in view of the current economic problems and this belt tightening was having an effect on the centre's revenue, However, he said that most of the prime time was booked and it was difficult to rent some of the poorer times because area groups could get better hours at other facilities in the district. Campbell asked if there had been any consideration given to something he ter- med a "fat man's skate" whereby local businessmen could skate from 7:00 to 8:00 a,m. each morning and still get to work. _ "Go ahead", commented Deputy-Reeve Harold Patterson, indicating he was one businessman not in- terested in such a suggestion. Smith had no comment on the suggestion, but did ad- vise council he planned to meet with. Usborne and Stephen Township councils in October to see if their grants could be provided. earlier than the normal December 1 date this year and in the future. He said an earlier payment would help the cash flow problem. Council had no comment on the rec centre board's proposal to fence off the parking lot in an effort- to When Huron County decides to extend its home for the aged. Exeter plans to be ready to mount a cam- paign to have such a facility built in the South Huron, area, „. Monday night, Exeter council agreed to form a committee of citizens to ex- plore the need for such a facility in the area and to have all the ground work prepared to convince county council that South Huron would be the logical site. The action stemmed from a request by a group of senior citizens that council explore the possibility of building a county nursing home in the Exeter area. Dorothy Bullock, presi- dent of the seniors who meet monthly at the Exeter Legion, said a petition cir- culated this week by the group had been signed by over 1,000 people who felt this area should have such a facility. She told council the support was "overwhelming". Mrs. Bullock also advised council that last week she had called a meeting for of- ficials from Exeter, Stephen and Usborne and that the two townships had agreed to work with Exeter to get a nursing home in the area. Reeve Don MacGregor, who represented Exeter at that meeting, said the townships wanted Exeter to set up a committee to head up the campaign to have a nursing home built in the southern part of the county. At a recent meeting, stem the complaints about the area being used by hot- rodders. Smith is still in- vestigating the cost of his proposal, He said the police and fire departments had approved the idea. Huron county council agreed there would be no more ad- ditions at fluronview, but that any extension of facilities required would be handled by building a new home in either the south or north of the county. Mayor Derry Boyle said such a move was, "quite a while in the future" but assured the 10 seniors who had accompanied. Mrs. Bullock to the meeting that council would bend every ef- fort to'have the home built in the south. Councillor Jay, Campbell said the area councils should be prepared to answer all questions regarding the need for a home in the south when the county came to make any decisions. "We would be remiss if not ready to answer all questions," he said, indicating such things as sites and the number of potential occupants would have to be documented. "We have to be prepared to answer those questions as soon as the gun is fired," he added. Social services committee chairman Lossy Fuller said that while a home is desired for the area, it was necessary to distinguish between the area's wants and needs. She said she had met with provincial officials last year on the subject of a nursing home and had been advised that funds were not available as they were being used in programs that would enable seniors to stay in their own homes longer. A suggestion by Councillor Don Cameron that the peti- tion be sent to county council along with a letter indicating council's interest in a home for the area was approved. However, Campbell said that was not going far enough and succeeded in having council approve a se- cond motion .Calling. on Reeve MacGregor ancl.Couti, cillors fuller and Epp to, come up with a local corrn,. mittee to spearhead the drive. Mrs. Fuller said his. idea of having the committee es- tablished. by next meeting was not providing enough time, noting.that it Would be a big job to serve on such a committee and it would take time to get the right people For the second month in a row, the Exeter Planning Board has been unable to transact any business due to failure to attract a quorum. "I'll have to see what gives," Mayor Derry Boyle commented when council were advised of the situation Monday. Councillor Jay Campbell, a member of the board, said another meeting is planned for tonight and it is hoped enough members will be on hand to proceed with work. He said there was a concern among the members over the situation, but noted those who did attend the last meeting did enter some productive discussions.

The competition carries on with just two sitters. Rory Hustler, 17. of St. Marys is still sitting on his LTD 450 Kawasaki at Mt. Carmel, while Tom Horrock, 15, is sitting on a LTD 750 Kawasaki in Sarnia. The competition sponsored by Country Corners and Lake Huron Sports and Cycle, is now in its 24th day, as of press time Tuesday. Theperson who can sit on his motorcycle the longest will win the value of the bike. Rory's bike is worth about $2,100 while Tom's is valued at $3,600. Two competitors at Mt. Carmel dropped out of the contest Saturday. Kevin Barrett got off his bike at 1 1 :25 a.m. and. Terry Stewart stopped sitting on her bike at 12:49 p.m. Kevin was about an hour short of Sitting on the bike for 21 days. Terry went about 19 minutes over the 21 days, or 504 hours. Kevin says that the heavy rain at about 4:30 Saturday morning caused him to give up the contest. The down- pour was followed by a cons- tant drizzle. "I was soaked right through, and there was no way of drying out," he said. Kevin added that he was thoroughly chilled and couldn't stop shivering. "I was hurting from shaking so bad," he added. After the first night in a bed, Kevin said his neck was stiff because he wasn't used to it. He says he will be leaving next week on his motorcycle for the west. He is hoping to return to his job as a truck driver in British Columbia. He said that it will feel good to get his motorcycle mov- ing again after sitting on it for 503 hours. Terry says that she left the contest for the same reason as Kevin. She said that the rain didn't let up and she was afraid she would catch cold. Kevin's leaving had nothing to do with her deci- sion to drop out, she said. Terry said that it "felt good" to get home, and she's glad to be back at work. She is employed on her cousin's farm. Rules of the contest are quite strict. At no time can any part of their body touch the ground, They are only allowed off the bikes for washroom breaks for five minutes every four hours. They are allowed no enter- tainment whatsoever — no books, magazines, radio, television, nothing that would constitute entertain- ment, Meals must be brought to them. They can wear only the clothes they had on when the contest began August 23. Country Corner's owner Don Darling says that Rory is determined to outlast the Sarnia competitor. Rory is equipped with a rain cape and a heavy sweater. In Sarnia. Dave Reeley of Lake Huron Sports and Cy- cle says that competitor Tom Horrock is just as deter- mined. Tom received a real boost when the two Mt. Carmel competitors dropped out, Reeley said. Tom is not concerned about missing classes at school. and his friends are filling him in on what is happening, Reeley says. Tom came prepared for the contest wearing a snow- mobile suit, He is sitting on his brother's bike, and his brother promised to buy him his own bike if he wins. Reeley said that during the rain storm, Tom was singing about rain drops. "I thought he was going honkers," Reeley said.
