K•W farm club has healthy profit
A surplus of $25,601 ac-
cumulated by the Kirkton-
Woodham Farmers Club do-
ing business in 1982 will be
returned to members.
A number of members
commented that the surplus
was rising each year and
should be controlled.
Board of management
member and former
secretary -treasurer Rea
Stephen said the accumulated
.surplus was getting too high
as the club was a non-profit
organization.
With the inclusion of the
1982 surplus, the accumulated
total would have reached
$209,000.
Stephen said the surplus
was about $1,000 a year for
the first 60 years of the club
and then averaged about
$24,000 a year for the last six
years.
Club member John Simp-
son made the motion that the
$25,601 be paid back on a pro-
rated basis on April 1, 1983 to
all making purchases during
1982.
During presentation of the
1982 financial statement it
was reported $75,280 of a
gross margin of $17,986 had
been returned to members as
rebates or dividends on pur-
chases including overpay-
ment of prepaid purchases.
Total sales for 1982 were
$1,508,264. Fertilizer sales ac-
counted for more than half
the total of goods purchased.
The salary of secretary-
' treasurer Gordon Johnson
was increased to $14,500 per
annum and assistant Ron
Denham will receive $5,250
plus a mileage allowance for
trucking chemicals.
Squirrels
Continued from front page
The local teacher also noted
that one of the more serious
problems facing the squirrel
population was the fact many
people were blocking off the
soffits in older homes and,
were thereby eliminating the
number of winter nesting
places. "They're (squirrels)
not going to chaw through
aluminum," he explained.
Both men indicated
satisfaction with the town's
policy statement on the
matter.
DeBoer, before leaving the
meeting, suggested that Ex-
eter should promote its uni-
que white squirrel popluation
as a tourist attraction. He in-
dicated he has told many non-
residents of the town's white
squirrels and several have in-
idicated to him they planned
to visit the town to see for
themselves.
Councillor Morely Hall
agreed they were quite uni-
que to Exeter and Mayor
Shaw added that "if they're
rare, we're fortunate to have
them".
During ..
there was an admission by all
concerned that no one in town
is killing squirrels. ,
The council pblicy state-
ment on the matter was pass-
ed unanimously.
The remuneration for board
of management remains
at $30 per meeting. The recor-
ding secretary gets $35 for
each meeting.
Secretary Gordon Johnson
said some varieties of forage
seeds would likely be scarce
this spring while seed grain
should be in fair supply.
St. Marys Bank of Montreal
manager Brian Hughes sug-
gested an easing of the
economy during 1983 and said
his bank was establishing a
fixed rate on operating loans
of 30 to 264 duration for
farmers.
The management commit-
tee has set an annual interest
rate of 15 percent on overdue
accounts and set March 30 as
the cutoff date for prepaid
fertilizers.
President John Scott said
the club continues to be a
thriving business serving the
agricultural needs of the.
community.
Scott was returned as presi-
dent as were vice- president
William Arthur, recording
secretary David Wheeler,
secretary -treasurer Gordon
Johnson, assistant Ron
Denham and board of

son, Harry Hern, Rea Stephen
and Burns Blackler:

Huron eounty council ap-
proved repairs to the first
floor of the museum and nam-
ed the study team ,at its
March 3 session.
An engineer's report from
B.M. Ross and Associates of
Goderich indicated materials
to repair the main floor of the
museum would cost under
$500. The necessary repairs
will be done by the museum
staff.
County council also learned
that some of the artifacts
located on the second floor of
the museum will be placed in
storage in a presently unused
building at the Goderich Air-
port. Museum curator Ray
Scotchmer also indicated
some artifacts from the se-
cond floor will be brought
down to the main floor to con-
tinue the museum's education
program.

He said that health -unit re-
quirements were very severe
and that they might adjourn
the proposal until reglations
could be met. He said that
Mother's hats 300 proposals to
consider at this time and that
Grand Bend was just one of
them. "Mother's have a lot at
stake as we do. You're asking
for guarantees. It's not what
Mother's and Fraleigh's can
guarantee but what we can do
to bring them in, not hassle
them out."

Murray Keys, Hay's
representative on the Exeter
and area fire board, said all
the other municipalities are in
favour of the purchase of a
new van. A quote of $29,000
had been received.
Knowing new fire trucks
will be needed eventually, the
Exeter board would like to
build up a fund from budget
surplus to be used for deficits
or capital expenditures.
Wilder said Hay will fulfill all
its obligations with the Exeter
fire board, and 'pay its six per-
cent share of expenditures,.

that it had proven the best
way for the local Chamber of
Commerce to make the
money needed for promotion
of Grand Bend and contribu-
tions to the village. "Nobody
likes it but all the money
comes back to the village".
A letter from Lambton
senior planner Janet
Smolders endorsed the pro-
�osal and said that it might
prove to be "a turn-arou id"
for the economy of the village
(if Mother's market survey
proved that a permanent
structure is feasible.)
There were letters against

discussing the minutes of

been considered for
