This sparked a debate about the need to have planning board input, and Campbell defended that situation by noting that if the Wellington Street road allowance was to be ex- tended for future develop- ment, the fence should not be placed in the middle of the , proposed road allowance. At this point, Mayor Boyle took things in hand and said he would appoint an ad hoc, committee made up of two members of the planning board, property committee and rec centre board. However, when he named fence the committee later in the meeting, he reduced the number to three people in appointing Lossy Fuller, Don Cameron and Jay Campbell. He noOd that Cameron was a member of all three committees. Boyle asked them to report by the first or secohdmeeting of council in November so a recommendation regarding the fence could bePassed on to next year's council. In a report on the grounds developemnt project at the community park, Cameron .said some work on the ball diamonds has been com- pleted and more may yet be undertaken this fall. He expressed some concern whether the diamonds would be ready for play in the spring. He also reported that the canvass for funds from the business community was nearing completion and the names of donors would soon be published. Noting that the committee may want to get some financing from the ministry of agriculture and food for the new pavilion being planned, he said it would require a bylaw granting the fair board a 10-year guarantee for use of the building and the fair grounds. Council agreed to have such a bylaw prepared for passing at an upcoming meeting. Exeter, council took no immediate action on a request, Monday, from the South Huron rec centre board of management to alter the bylaw under 'which the latter Operates, but they did agree to meet the financial obligations of the board for the balance of this year although they were not formally asked to do so. Hee administrator Ian Smith explained that the board felt the bylaw should, reflect the reality of the present operation of the board as well as establish a formal agreement between Exeter, Usborne and Stephen regarding their financial contributions. Smith outlined several areas where the board now operates in violation of the bylaw, such as having a township representative as the board chairman, and also noted that the con- tributions presently %being made by the townships are in reality donations and not an agreed upon amount to meet the annual deficit. He said that the board could not make the necessary changes and also that Exeter council could not arbitrarily make some of the changes regarding the financial contributions of the townships without the lat- ter's input. The administrator said that the current operation of the board is effective, and the bylaw should be altered to reflect the reality of how it is operating. Mayor Derry Boyle commented later in the 'meeting, during a discussion on finances, that the board had not yet learned how much the Townships of Stephen and Usborne would be contributing this year to the operating deficit of the rec centre. That discussion prompted Clerk Liz Bell to ask if she was to pay the bills for the board if they ran into financial problems. It has been indicated they are running extremely close to the line already, and have been forced to use some of their capital budget to meet operating costs. Mrs. Bell said that most of the capital budget was not depleted as well. Deputy-Reeve Harold Patterson said council had little alternative but to pay the bills for the board. "It's a bad time to shiit down the rec centre," Councillor Ted Wright commented. He presented a motion that the town cover the board's The junction brings you these great values just in time for Christmas sewing.

In his report, Smith ex- pressed concern over the declining enrolment of the local minor hockey and figure skating programs. He said the 10 percent decline in the number of boys playing hockey had reduced the 4MHA ice time by two hours and indicated a rather un- pleasant view of the future, Figure skating enrolment is down by about 20 to date, but Smith said the club is still using the same amount of ice time as last year.

He also warned stove owners of the dangers of using green wood, which causes a build-up of creosote and can result in chimney fires. .The fire department has borchures available for the proper installation and safeguards for stove owners and Middleton urged that home owners obtain the necessary permits before installing stoves so they can bi checked by building of- ficials. •WaSAIlia•Vie;:sAitt,W4Vt:404,M24.flaa SAVE $1.00 FLANNELETTES per metre on all (Plains or Printed) per me tre on an C/Ui WOOLS AND WOOL BLENDS HALLOWE'EN SPECIALS We don't care how you get here ...
