A GOOD-NATURED JOKE - When Jim and Donna Hoffman of Dashwood looked out their window Tuesday evening, theydiscovered that someone had put a toilet fixture on their lawn. But the Hoffmans playedrightalong and built this snowlady the same night, ad- ding a floodlight later on. But alas, at last report the snowy damsel was assaulted Sunday night and pushed over. The Hoffmans know the six in town who started the joke, and thought it was great fun. The toilet has been returned. Special music features festive Granton services By MRS. E. SUMMERS l'he Rev. Elwood Morden conducted a Christmas Eve Service at Wesley Church and officiated at Holy Com- munion. The special music was provided with a solo by Clayton Karges and two anthems by Granton senior choir. The sermonette was entitled "What shall we do with this Child". The attendance for this service was excellent, chairs had to be placed at the back of the church to ac- commodate the large con- gregation. -Flowers were placed in the church in memory of the late Miss Millie Langford by her fami- ly. The service for the first Sunday after. Christmas at Granton United Church was in charge by the Rev. Elwood Morden who entitled his sermon "Missing Christ- mas". The wise men had a glorious Christmas but the ones left behind were all too busy, couldn't miss prayers and rituals. "Can we be too busy doing good things that we miss Christmas?" Sunday School attendance awards were presented by Mrs. Leroy Bryan to the following members: first pin Bernadine Kop: second pin, Darren Waters; third pin, Angie Wallis and Jennie Oliver; fourth pin, Mark Wright: wreath Mark Humphrey: first bar Leanne Sleeper and Susan Sleeper; second bar Steven Cook. Flowers were placed in the church in loving memory of the late Miss Millie Langford. Anglican The Rev. Greg Smith con- ducted the Christmas eve service at St. Thomas Anglican Church and was the celebrant of the Christmas Eucharist. The first lesson was read by Mrs. Ron Har - By BOB TROTTER Backward, turn backward, oh, time in thy flight! Give Gene power in the Cabinet, just for tonight. Well, yes. It's a little dif- ferent from the original quotation but Eugene Whelan needs some clout with his confreres on Parliament Hill. There was a time when his voice was obviously being heard. He was given credit for swinging a•number of seats to the Liberal cause. In recent months, though, that influence seems to have dissipated. Could it have anything to do with Whelan's announcement, right after Pierre said he was going to resign, that he would be a candidate for leadership? It is the time of year when wishes should be granted and Whelan certainly needs some understanding. Cabinet secrecy does not allow full revelation but those in the know with whom I have talked say that Whelan fights but gets ignored. Politics is a strange business. From the top of the influence ladder to the bottom is a short distance. For beleaguered farmers everywhere in this nation, especially those facing a bleak year from high in- L.n.,. ..e .OD•..•.,e4 by sob r,o,,,. UJ,M RJ [4n.. On. Nil 2 r terest rates and low returns, a happy new year may seem a remote possibility. That should not stop us from at least expressing the wish, anyway. That is why we wish Eugene Whelan more power in Ottawa. While we're at it, how about some new year's wishes for the Ontario and the Canadian Federations of Agriculture? A group of tough-minded men and women in those organizations is fighting long and hard for farmers. They deserve good wishes. Since the federation has been restructured to bring in so many personal mem- berships, it has become a force in this province. Excellent leadership from people such as Gordon Hill, Peter Hannam and Ralph Barrie has transofrmed this once-morlbund group into the best lobbying group farmers have ever had. Executive members are warning farmers to expect a hefty increase in mem- bership fees again next year. Good thinking, friends. In this country, the philosophy is you get what you pay for and $70 or $100 memberships each year certainly do not seem exorbitant.

Union dues are usually higher than $70 a year. And the federation should be paying its own way instead of trying to operate on a shoe string. Best wishes, as well, to the Christian Farmers Federation. They are small in numbers but they speak with so much common sense, they must be heeded. Their research is right out of the top drawer and their philosophy is admirable. They feel that God gave us the land and it is up to far- mers to preserve this valuable resource for future generations. Best wishes, too, to Women for the Survivial of Agriculture, a loose -knit organization which held a national conference more than a year ago in Ottawa. With this kind of backing for agriculture, surely the politicians will be forced to listen. I cannot help but trust the innate goodness within the farming community when saner voices say con- frontation tactics, violence and even guns will not work to help farmers. They are I'm convinced, right when they disparage such extreme tactics. Some months ago, I predicted an uprising in rural Canada that would Make Louis Riel's rebellion look like a tea party. I hope I was wrong. Too many masked vigilantes are ap- pearing in front of cameras recently to suit me. I could go on with good wishes, of course, but I'm sure you get the idea. Agriculture is Canada's most important industry and agriculture needs all the good wishes it can get these days. And a happy new year to you and yours, my friends. die. the epistle by Ken Hoar. There was a chorus by the Sunday School children "Children run joyfully, Jesus is Born" accompanied by Mrs. Ron Hardie at the organ and the rector with his guitar. The sermon was "The coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ." Flowers were plac- ed on the alter in loving memory of the late Alvin Carson by his wife Henrietta and family. The Rev. Greg Smith was in charge of the Sunday Christmas service. The church was nicely decorated for Christmas. The first lesson was read by the rec- tor. and the second lesson by Helen Herbert. Personal Miss Rona Hickey of Toronto is spending the Christmas holidays with Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hodgins and family. Keith Summers of Toronto and Mrs. Sheilagh MacKen- zie and her son Jamie of London spent Christmas with Mrs. Elmer Summers. Don't want to pay costs Solicitors for Laidlaw Transport have advised Exeter council they do not feel they should be responsible for costs in- curred by the town in the rezoning of land for the proposed site of the tran- sport firm on Highway 83 at the eastern outskirts of Exeter. The Ontario Municipal Board approved the rezoning to accommodate the firm's move, but the move did not take place when the sale of the present site at the intersection of Highway 4 and 83 did not take place. A letter from the law firm of Little & Evans said it was Laidlaw's position that they should not be responsible for the costs involved. During a discussion on the matter, Monday, Exeter council members learned that the costs involved to the town were about 57,000 for engineering and legal fees. It was decided to turn the matter over to the finance committee for a recom- mendation on what action the town should take. The local law firm advised that Laidlaw wanted the new zoning to remain in effect on the property on the eastern limits. 08 the Co operator INSURANCE SERVICES * LIFE * HOME t AUTO * FARM * COMMERCIAL Call Verna Gingerich Bus, 235-1109 Res. 235-1109 32 Nelson St. J Times -Advocate, December 30, 1981 Paso 15 Thefts continuing at a high level Thefts continued at a high level in Exeter during the month of November accor- ding to the report submitted to council by Police Chief Ted Day last Monday. There were two thefts of over 5200 each with total loot in those amounting to 51,090. None has been recovered to date. There were another 11 thefts of under 5200 each with the amount stolen being 5425. Of that, 5180 has been recovered and three charges have been laid and warnings given to another three juveniles involved. Chief Day reported two break, enter and thefts with loot of 573. The thieves did an additional 5188 damage getting into the buildings. Six fraud incidents were also investigated with 5967.60 being involved. Of that total, 5453.60 has been recovered. Other statistics during the past month were as follows: 10 accidents with two minor injuries and damage of 55,- 474, 12 drivers charged un- der the Highway Traffic Act, four charges under the Li- quor Control Act, one charge under the Narcotics Control Act, three animal com- plaints, four incidents of damage to public and private property with the damage being 5420. During the month the of- ficers recorded 66 hours of overtime with 16 being for court duty. Police committee chair- man Gaylan Josephson presented his annual report to council, noting there were two highlights of the year, those being the official open- ing of the new police building on May 13 and the Ontario Police Commission inspection of the local department on August 21. "The report on the latter was on the whole, an ex- cellent report, commending the Chief, the constables, staff and the facilities," he stated. He. concuded that despite the absence of one officer (Kevin Short) for a period of three months due to ill health, and the strike at Canadian Canners which necessitated additional over- time hours, it is anticipated that final figures for the year will indicate that the total budget will not be ex- ceeded. Other comments in his report were as follows: Co-operative purchasing with area police forces was looked into, with the deci- sion that this practice should be followed, when pricing was to our advantage. Plan- ning for Emergency Measures has been examin- ed. with questionnaires sent to all Exeter households. The response has been ex- cellent. with the results be- ing tabulated by the Police Secretary. A formal Emergency Measures Plan Permits still decline The value of building per- mits continued to decline in Exeter during the month of November. In a report to council last week. building inspector Brian Johnston said there were 16 permits issued with a total value of 562,808. Ten of those were for residential renovations and additions. three for in- stitutional and three for commercial. In the corresponding month in 1980, there were 18 permits issued with a total value of 5102,950. In the past month, there were six permanent and eight temporary sign per- mits approved, bringing the total of permanent signs for the year to 28 and 32 tem- porary.

Several traffic troublespots were in- vestigated. The police were authorized to monitor and keep under surveillance traf- fic in the area of Victoria Park in an attempt to reduce speeding in that area. Over- night parking on town streets came under fire, with a resulting increased surveillance. The perennial problem of merchants displaying their wares on the sidewalks sur- faced again and was again handled with tact, diplomacy and the minimal amount of ruffled feathers. Recognizing that there has been an increase in the number of violent crimes and in those involving firearms, a recommenda- tion was made to agree with a resolution calling for stiffer penalties for those convicted of using firearms during a criminal act.
