ALLISTER — In loving memory of a dear
husband John Allister who passed away
February 24, 1984 in Florida.
It is hard to walk the path alone,
Instead of by your side.

Upon the path we trod,

And leave the rest to God.
Lovingly remembered by wife Eva and

Part-timer hired
The hiring of a part -tittle employee
by the South Huron rec centre board
of management resulted in a lengthy
debate by Exeter council this week,
but was finally approved.
The board sent a letter to the town
advising the part-time member had
been hired at a rate of $5.50 per hour,
effective January 1.
Reeve Bill Mickle suggested the
matter be sent to the town's employee
relations committee after he said
there were questions over the number
of hours the employee was required
as well as the rate of pay. The
employee had been working under a
government -funded program last
year at a pay rate of $5.00 per hour
and Mickle suggested the increase
was out of line with that being propos-
ed for town employees this year.
Mayor Bruce Shaw then said he
was exercising his authority by
changing the motion to one of tabling
the matter.
However, council voted against the
motion to table the matter then
agreed to approve the hiring of the
employee at the rate specified by the
board.
Rec board member Gaylan
Josephson noted that present policy
allowed the rec director or facilities
manager to hire part-time employees
to keep the rec center or programs
operational.

Exeter ends year
in good shape
Exeter ended the past year in ex-
cellent financial shape according to
statistics supplied by Clerk Liz Bell
Revenue was up $37,480 over the
budget figure, while expenditures
were $82,377 less than budget.
"The departments are to be com-
mended for staying within budgets",
she said and then came in for some
commendation herself from finance
chairman Bill Mickle.
In his final report as chairman.
Mickle expressed gratitude to Mrs.
Bell'"for her excellent maihtenance
Plan meetings
for RC school
Catholic ratepayers in Huron and
Perth Counties have been asked to
watch for announcements of public
meetings to be held en the question of
a Catholic high school.
The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic
Separate School Board's secondary
school planning committee has sent
out a report through the schools and
churches in the two counties.
Trustee John Devlin of Stratford,
chairman of the planning committee,
said the'ommittee is now in the pro-
cess of gathering information. Once
it has information it wants to present
this to the public.
"At the moment we're working out
'specific details," said Devlin referr-
ing to the committee's task of detail-
ing how Catholic high school(s) will
be set up in the two counties.
There was some concern that not
all ratepayers received a copy of the
report which outlines the board's plan
to se
sc oo s by September 1986.
"We want to make sure nobody is
left out," said Devlin.
Copies are available at all Catholic
schools and churches.
of finances for Exeter."
He advised council that reserve
funds of $27,000 have been set aside
for future needs. These funds have
been allocated to administration,
cemetery, public works, recreation
and police. and "should modestly
assist in future budget
considerations."
The past year started with an ac-
cumulated net revenge of $18,000 and
at the end of the year had increased
to $120,857 of net revenue to be
available to offset tax needs.
Mickle further explained that the
assessment base has been increased
by about $67,000 and this means a sav-
ing to taxpayers of about three mills
on tax requirements.
He further outlined some
developments which have taken place
over the past four years during his
term as finance chairman. These
were as follows:
(1) Reserve Funds for operating
purposes have been increased from
$90,000 (1980) to $231,500 (1984) I. Due
to the increase of these reserves, in-
terest has been received to offset
taxes and no borrowings were re-
quired at the bank,
(2) The lagoon expansion of $1.2
million was completed without
debenturing.
(3) Equipment. Reserve Funds of
127.000 have been established.
(4 ) Capital expenditures of approx-
imately $1.2 million over the past four
years have been spent on equipment,
property, streets, etc.
(5) Services and maintenance re-
quirements have also been maintain-
ed for the needs of area citizens.
(6)On the negative side
r� i v''c mmu
ated net
revenue tivhich is used to offset taxes
from $147,492 ( 1980) to $120,857 (1984).
(7) Tax increases for. the Town's
use, have an average of 2 percent in-
crease per year (total 8 percent).
Drainage contract let
The tender of Parker & Parker
Limited for the construction of the
Wallace Drainage Works, branches A
and B, was accepted by Tuckersmith
council, at a price of $9,000, the lowest
on nine tenders; and the tender of
Bayline Drainage for the construction
of the Nott Drainage Works was ac-
cepted at a tender price of $6,927, the
lowest of five received.
Council voted that any surplus from
the Sesquicentennial celebrations will
be used,to mount an original grader
of the township at the proposed new
township shed site near Egmondville
and any further balance will be used
for capital park improvements for the
residents of the township.
Council endorsed the action of the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
whereby the Federation will prohibit
the Ministry of Natural Resources
staff access to any property to con-
duct land evaluations until the
ministry has supplied the Federation
with answers to their concerns as to
their policies for the future.
Council agreed to offer to the
general public township hats at .$5.00
per hat and township pins at 124(1 per
pin.
Approval was given to the hiring of
Miss Nancy Sue Swan as a full time -
teacher at the Day Care Centre at
Vanastra at a rate of 112,200 effective
once a replacement has been hired for
the Special Day Care Centre at
Vanastra. Karen McEwing McCon-
nell, Day Care Supervisor, will adver-
tise in the local paper for a part time
teacher for the Special Day Care
Centre.
Paul Klopp of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture attended
the council session to outline the
Federation's achievements during
SKATING MOON BEAMS - Bronyn Baynham, Tara Hunking, Terri
Snell, Melisso Brock and Cathy Wagner skated as Moonbeams in
Saturday's figure skating carnival. T -A photo
the past year and to present council
with a copy of the proposed budget for
1985. Klopp extended to council the
appreciation of the Federation for the
use of the office facilities in the
township's municipal building and
hoped to be able to continue to use it
in the future.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:15
p.m.
Public works
The 1984 maintenance and capital
projects budget for the public works
committee was presented to Exeter
council this week. it was approved in
principle. but will be dependent upon
budget approval later in the year.
The total cost of the projects outlin-
ed by committee chairman Morley
Ilall is $:128,4(0, of which 170.000 is for
maintenanee.
Capital projects include 1121,000 for
the reconstruction of Victoria SI. from
the entrance to the community park
to the east end of the public school, in -
chiding a parking lot and new
sidewalks: 127.000 for the paving of
Huron St from Main to Carling;
123.(0(1 for excavating and paving
Carling St. from Iluron to Ann St.
drain: $14,(100 for the final coat of pav-
ing on Marlborough from Iluron to
Wellington: 117.600 for the top coat of
paving on Pryde: 111.800 for resurfac-
ing Kingscourt: and 114,000 for resur-
facing Thomas.
The Victoria Sl. project is eligible
for a ministry grant of about one-
third. while the others will be eligible
for 50 percent funding.
Councillor Ben Hoogenboom asked
if the extension of John St. E. to
facilitate the proposed new nursing
home would eliminate some of the
planned projects.
Hall,replied that the John St. pro-
ject would be discussed in closed ses-
sion after council. hul did go on to say
that it would not be fair to eliminate
some of the proposed projects for that
extension.
He said consideration should be
given to take some funds from other
departments to help pay for the John
St. work and added that the cost
Would probably be borne over a two-
year period.
in answer to a question from Reeve
Kill Mickle, works superintendent
Glen Kells advised that the proposal
1985 budget was comparable to last
y'ear's.
Hall told ('ouncillor Gaylan
Josephson that the projects were not
necessarily in any order of priority as
listed on the committee's recommen-
dation. however, Kells and Shaw
refuted that by saying the projects
were listed pretty well in priority.
The MTC grant on the $328.400 total
is expected to he around 1115.000.
