"As one who has known
you well for many years, I
can attest to your keen sense
of duty. your knowledge of
the law and your strong ad-
ministrative capabilities.
Your service to the Province
of Ontario, and indeed to
Canada. is thoroughly ap-
preciated by all those who
have been privileged to
know you." he wrote.
Erskine noted that Bell
earned the respect and ad-
miration of the OPP during
his seven years as chairman
of the OPC. "We have
always retained a special
placeofhonour for you for the
cooperation and guidance
given to us. The Town of Ex-
eter has made a wise choice
and I join all my colleagues
in wishing you well on this
auspicious occasion."

deserved" honour and said
he fondly recalled Bell's
gracious and generous treat-
ment when as a young, inex-
perienced lawyer the
member of the Supreme
Court practiced law in
Huron County.
"Despite the number of
positions of power which you
have held, you have never
lost the common touch nor
the warmth of personality
which have endeared you to
so many representatives of
the police community,"
wrote MacGrath. "Your ac-
complishments as Chairman
of the Ontario Police Com-
mission were many and your
strength in times of stress
will long be remembered."
In his letter, Davis
described the local lawyer
as one of Ontario's outstan-
ding citizens. "You had a
distinguished war -time
record with the Canadian
army and were decorated
for valour. You have served
your community as a fine
lawyer as well as in a broad
range of other community
endeavours."
The Premier noted that
those in the PC Party will
remember Bell affectionate-
ly for the guidance and
leadership he provided to
help the party achieve an
impressive record of general
election and by-election vic-
tories "and a debt of
gratitude is owed to you for
this splendid example in
grass roots political in-
volvement".
"You always gave
selflessly and generously of
your time, your energies,
and your vast knowledge as
you served as chairman of
the Ontario Police Commis-
sion and you merit much
credit for the high regard in
which Ontario's local police
forces are generally held,
not only by our own citizens,
but by their fellow police of-
ficers beyond our provincial
borders."
"The highest award you
can get is to be recognized
by people in your home
town. Westcott com-
mented, as he presented Bell
with a set of bookends from
the province as a gift.
"It's almost too much for
one person," Bell replied.
"Anyway I like it."
Also honored at the civic
banquet were retiringcouncil
member Jay Campbell,
planning board members
Gerald Merner and Dennis
Hockey and retiring rec cen-
tre board member Jerry
MacLean. The latter was the
last remaining member of
the original board.
"There were a lot of
challenges. bu.•I enjoyed
it." MacLean remarked of
his work.
On hand for the civic ban-
quet were members of coun-
cil and town deparment
heads, as well as members
of the various appointed
bodies such as the cemetery
board. senior citizen ad-
visory group, promotion
committee. property stan-
dards committee and the
BIA board of directors.

Pays for
careless
driving
A Huron Park man was
fined $128 and 'costs after
pleading guilty to careless
driving before Justice of the
Peace Ferris in Exeter,
Tuesday.
Thomas McVeeney, 277
Algonquin Drive, was charg-
ed on July 25 after being in-
volved in a collision on
Highway 83 east of Huron
Road 2 in which damage
amounted to $4,000 and both
drivers sustained minor in-
juries.
He was given 30 days in
which to pay the fine.
Robert G. Watson, RR 1
Dashwood, was fined $78 and
costs for being in care and
control of a motor vehicle in
which liquor was available
on October 31. A quantity of
beer was found in his parked
vehicle when checked by
police.
An Exeter man, Scott Bur-
ton, had a charge of careless
driving dismissed. He had
previously been found guilty
on the charge arising from
an incident on June 26, but
the conviction was later
quashed when it was in-
dicated he had not been
notified of his court
appearance and the charge
was heard when he was not
in attendance.
The charge was laid after
a van hit a stop sign at the
corner of Huron and Edward
St. Exeter Constable Kevin
Short, who resides in the
area, looked out to see the
van driving away from the
scene. He and Constable Dan
Kierstead later found a van
parked in Burton's driveway
that had damage to the front
end.
The court ruled at the con-
clusion of Tuesday's trial,
that the officers had failed to
prove the identity of the
driver as the man in court
and the charge was dismiss-
ed.
Approve
severance
Exeter's committee of
adjustment approved an
application by Landrush Inc.
to sever property at 150
Thames Road East at a
hearing, Tuesday.
The severance was re-
quested by owner Len Veri
for the property on which is
situated the building recent-
ly erected for Dan Brie Agri -
Products Mfg. Ltd.
The committee ordered
that a $500 impost fee be
paid on the severed proper-
tyThe planning board had
recommended that a plan of
subdivision be placed on the
entire property owned by
Landrush, but the com-
mittee of adjustment said
that they would look at that
suggestion if future requests
for severance were made.
Exeter Co-op

division which was started in
1980 had risen to $456,000 and
gross margins were up 16.5
percent.
The United Co -Operatives
report given by district
director Bob Down was in
sharp contrast to the Exeter
financial statement.
Down said. It was an ex-
citing. but. frustrating year.
Sales increased to $604
million. but we had three
problems contributing to an
operations loss. These in-
cluded high interest costs
which were up five million,
low gross margins and low
member equity"
He continued, "I'm disap-
pointed particularly with
increased sales and yet we
were in a loss position.
There are a couple of
positive things. The new
Windsor grain terminal is
operating well and should be
at a break even point in a
year or two and new feed
mills at Wingham and Peter-
borough are now
profitable."
Marg Pavkeje and Bevan
Shapton who represented the
Exeter Co -Op at an UCO
camp at Lake Couchiching
during the summer of 1981
reported on their trip and
thanked their sponsors.
Both indicated the camp
was beneficial in com-
munications and leadership
and listening skills.
In the election for board of
directors retiring president
Gerald McBride and Edwin
Miller were returned for
another three year term and
Wayne Rowe was named to
replace Elson Lynn.
John Oke is currently vice-
president and is expected to
take over the president's
position at the next meeting
of directors. Jim Dougall is
secretary and other direc-
tors are Jack Blair, Jim
Morlock, Eric Kints and
Stan Francis:
