ld? Gunn announced
s week he has sold his
Dome Hardware store on
Main St. to Jerry MacLean &
Son Automotive and Sports
Ltd
Gunn and his wife have
operated the store for the
past 1.1 years. It was former -
Iv Traquair Hardware.
MacLean reported that he
will continue to operate the
business as a Home

sent time. Gunn will remain
with the business until the
end of the month.
MacLean's operate a spor-
ting goods and automotive

Shack outlet. They also have
sports stores in Clinton and
Goderich and a Radio Shack
outlet in the latter as well.

discussion, Councillor Jay
Campbell noted there ap-
peared to be a lot of rumors
that the addition would not
be used for an extension of
the firm's auto supply
business, but he said he felt
thir.uses would be consistent
with the zoning for the area.
However, later in the
evening, Campbell said he
had fears the use planned by
MacLean's may not conform
to the zoning and in
questioning after the
meeting, said he was going
strictly on the rumors in that
suggestion
ft was noted that the town
had legal steps to follow if
the use made of the addition
did not conform to zoning
regulations.
Under current zoning on
the property, MacLean's
would not be permitted to
use the addition or any part
of the present facility to
house a hardware retail
outlet.
"I can assure you that the
building inspector is totally
on top of that job," Mayor
Shaw remarked in reference
to a further suggestion that
the addition was being ex-
tended the full length of the
building without approval of
a minor variance that is
required to allow it to
square -off with the rear of
the present structure.
MacLean's have made
application to the committee
of adjustment for the minor
variance and Campbell said
his inspection of the project
indicated no contravention of
the regulations.

challenged various service
clubs and organizations to a
bed race to be held following
the parade on Saturday,
September 26 (the Saturday
of the fair).
The race will begin at
approximately 1:45 p.m. and
should be quite a spectacle to
watch. In order to par-
ticipate each organization
has placed a bet as to how
well their team will do, to
be donated to a charity of
the winner's choice.
Among other rules, each
team will consist of four
people pushing a bed (no
larger than a single bed)
with a male and a female
seated on the bed. Everyone
will be in full bedtime attire
so bring your camera!
Further details will be
found in following editions of

ROLE OF THE CLERGY AT TIME OF DEATH
The minister, priest, or rabbi con help greatly in con-
soling and assisting the surviving family members - if
he is contacted soon after the death of the relative or
friend. He can define the differences between the
mortal physical body of the deceased and the im-
mortal soul. He can further help the family through
the first steps of the grief process.
It is emotionally healthier to allow the clergyman to
help the family work through their grief openly than
to permit their sadness to be repressed or concealed.
Clergymen hove been trained to assist in times of
stress. Their experiences through study and from real
life•ond-death situations make them invaluable to
you - and us. Their many sources of comfort and aid,
especially in grief•counselling, can be very
beneficial. They are especially anxious to serve their
congregational members at such times. .
We welcome your questions - in private or publicly
through this column.

Pump station costs up
Could provide assessment
Exeter public utilities
customers may soon have
access to a free energy usage
assessment under Ontario
Hydro's Residential Energy
Advisory Program (REAP).
PUC manager Hugh Davis
said the program . could
operate in a variety of ways.
Ontario Hydro personnel
may be brought in to do the
survey; it may take the form
of a tax -like audit filled out
by the home owner; and or
personnelI from the local
utilities will be trained for
the work.
In any case the project will
be financed by the local
utilities and individual
surveys may cost as much as
$75. There is no cost to
homeowners requesting the
surveys.
The plan is to survey
current energy usages and
will make recommendations
where energy reductions can
be made.
The plan is part of a 10
year survey program and
more information will be
Require
agreement
Exeter council will require
a development agreement
for a new structure being
planned by Exeter Produce
on a foundation that was
built by the firm in 1976.
Work on the project was
stopped five years ago when
it was found the foundation
encroached on neighboring
lot lines and the committee
of adjustment recently
approved an application for
the firm to permit use of the
foundation.
Councillor Jay Campbell
said a development
agreement was needed to
ensure that regulations
would be in place for the
adequate storage of the
chemicals the firm plans to
have in the new building.
"If there are large
amounts of chemicals, it
would be wise to ensure they
are properly stored," he
said.
Councillor Gaylen
Josephson said he agreed
with that suggestion, noting
that the proper storage of
chemicals should be em-
phasized. -
The building will be used
for farm machinery and
chemical storage, building
inspector Brian Johnston
advised in asking council if
the development agreement
would be required.
available at local utilities
early in 1982.
Davis reported at the
PUC's August meeting that
an extension to a mobile
home park In north Exeter
will not be developed this
year. The PUC's costs of
812,389 in this year's capital
budget will be reallocated to
cover service extentions
elsewhere and purchase new
transformers.
The PUC accepted a
tender from Pfaff electric
for $1240 for changes in the
PUC building electical
services. The work is being
done in conjunction with the
purchase of a heat pump
heating system. •
Commissioners will be
selecting a heat pump
system after further In-
vestigation.
The commission will
respond to an Ontario Hydro
'survey requesting views on
the alternates in hydro
transmission as part of
Hydro's southwestern
Ontario plan stage study.
The improvements to the
water pump stations in
Exeter may cost more than
the $130,000 estimated for the
project by B.M. Ross and
Associates, engineers. Davis
said the:cost may climb as
high as 8157,000.
The PUC reported to the
Canadian Canners company
that their water consumption
was up 54 percent in July
over last year, at the cost of
about 82,000. Changes to the
canner's process accounted
for the increase, but Davis
said the company will try to
reduce the consumption.
Davis also reported to the
commissioners that a 12
inch water main had been
installed on William Street.
MAYOR FACES CHALLENGE
Mayor Bruce Shaw faces a
couple of major challenges
over the next couple of
weeks.
On Sunday, he'll accept
the challenge of Clinton
Mayor Ches Archibald and
enter the Terry Fox Day tun
in Clinton.
The challenge is to see
who can raise the most
money through sponsorship
for the event.
"I'm in it," Shaw said
after reading the letter from
Archibald. He quickly
received a sponsor in Reeve
Don MacGregor and other
members of council signed
up following the meeting.
Deputy -Reeve Alvin Epp
will also enter and he too
solicited sponsors among the
council members and town
employees.
Shaw has his own
challenge issued for the oow
milking contest at the Ex-
eter fair. He's challenged
reeves of the three area
townships and admitted this
week he thought he was in
trouble in noting that his op-
ponents all had some farm
background.
