The province is considering the closing of six institutions, including the Bluewater Cen- tre south of Goderich and the St. Thomas Adult Rehabilita- tion Training Centre. Community and Social Ser- vices Minister Frank Drea argued that the closing of the centres at some undetermin- ed future date is actually progress. Ontario has been taking pa- tients out of institutions and placing them in the communi- ty for more than six years, and another 942 are schedul- ed to leave in the next four years, he said. "The Ontario Association for the Mentally Retarded is whole-hearted!y in support of what we are doing." Richard Johnston ( NDP — Scarborough West) accused Drea of losing credibility over the Tories' claims that civil servants should undergo wage controls because they have job security. In fact, Drea replied, the closing of centres would cost an additional $10 million and would not save money. Riddell said there are residents`of the homes who cannot enter the community. He predicted they would have to be moved to even larger institutions. Not so, said Drea, adding there are few institutions larger that the Bluewater Centre. "Those will be transferred to relatively small facilities in Western Ontario." Johnston said he felt cynical about Drea's plans, but the minister put that down to Johnston's being paranoid. vation projects at the firehall and library, the Vial of Life program, the downtown beautification project and the fact councillors had become more aware of the workings of the 'police department. In reference to the study on a nursing hone, she said this was certainly a step in the right direction. Also addressing the au- dience were Harry DeVries and Murray Greene, acclaim- ed to the PUC for the next three years. The former' noted the ratepayers' meeting date coincided with - his 31st an- niversary on arriving in Canada from . the Netherlands. Greene advised the audience the PUC had not debentured any projects over the past two years and he listed several of the projects undertaken in the hydro and water departments.

Ile charged that Westminster officials were relating to the old-fashioned ghetto -type trailerpark in their opposition to the development of a mobile home park. "We tried (his industry) to put our best foot forward," he said, adding that one of the other witnesses' was an of- ficial from Central Mortgage and Housing Corp., who recently prepared a booklet on mobile home parks. "Ile'd (Richardson) better shoot at Trudeau's boy, as well," Smith said in reference to Exeter's part in the hearing. Smith said his industry was only interested in trying to assist by using qualified witnesses to explain the ad- vantages of a modern mobile home park and he said Mrs. Bell fit that requirement by extolling the aesthetic and financial merits of the addi- tion of the local development to this community. son. Chris Hern, 11, was slightly injured in the crash. Over the weekend, one female driver was • arrested and charged with impaired driving and a youth was charged with several counts under the Highway Traffic Act after police received com- plaints from several residents about the careless manner in which a vehicle was being driven on Main St. and in the Nelson St. area. Chief Ted Day notes that Hallowe'en will be observed on Saturday night and the police will be out in full force and will lay charges for any incidents involving vandalism or mischief. He advises parents to ep-• sttre the safety of their children by having then dress properly. He also recommends that parents check all treats when the youngsters return home.

"That's understan dable," MacGregor said. The veteran on council said the insulation and new gas furnace at the fire hall should cut heating costs in half, say- ing the costs were getting out of hand. ' He reported that the storm drain for the south-west cor- ner of town was a priority for 1983. His comments included a report on work at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority and it was indicated the new workshop at Mor- rison dam was to be com- pleted in the new year and plans call for a new office to be built in 1984. The latter will possibly be shared as a municipal office with Usborne. Skipped in the alphabetical order by chairperson Liz Bell, Gaylan Josephson wondered -if it was her way of getting even for his late filing of a nomination paper. He apologized for a voice that had been partially lost through cheering at a hockey game prior to the meeting and also reported his en- thusiasm had resulted in a button coming off his jacket.

He saw the lagoon system expansion and the senior citizen facility as two of the major projects for the next term and said forming.a com- mittee for the latter was a "strong step -in the right direction". His main goal was to keep the budget at a workable level without threatening services required by the citizens. Unable to attend due to a prior commitment as a direc- tor of the Canadian Agri - Marketing Association, newcomer BillRose said that small towns are best, but similar to small businesses, they have their unique type of problems. "The small town budget, like the small business budget must be carefully watched. particularly in times like this. so that fuli. value is obtained for the hard-earned dollar," he said in a prepared state- ment read by Mrs. Bell on his behalf. "Maintaining good budget control. while maintaining good services, and en- couragement of new business . to broaden our tax base is essential." Saying he could offer sound. thoughtful management and proudly promote Exeter, he said he would give as careful study to the business of run- ning a small town as he does to running his own company.
