ANDERSON
EMORIAM-ANDERSON — In loving memory of a
very dear father William F. Anderson who
passed away 6 years ago, January 30,1960.
Our family circle has been broken,
A link gone from our chain;
But though we're parted for a while
We know we'll meet again.
We travel down a wiadirtg road
A road without an end
And they who seem so far away
Are only round the bend.,5'
Loved by your son Philip.
ANDERSON — In loving memory of a
dear father and grandfather who passed
away January 30, 1980.
They who think that you are gone
Because no more your face they see
Are wrong for in our hearts you live
And always will in memory. 5c
From you loving daughter Reta, grand-
children Joseph and Michelle.
BAKER — In loving memory of David
Baker, who passed away February 3,1960.
You are always in our mind,
No matter what we do,
All the time within our hearts,
There are thoughts of you.
Our hearts still ache with sadness,
And silent tears still flow,
For what it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know. 5'
Lovingly remembered and sadly missed
by Lynda, Mark and Matthew, Mom and
Dad, Paul, Brenda, Shelley and Shauna.
DESJARDINE — In loving memory of a
dear father and grandfather Glenford who
passed away January 31, 1981.
He left us quietly, his thoughts unknown:
But he left us a memory we are proud to
own.
A wonderful father laid to rest,
For all of us he did his best.
His place on earth, no one can fill,
We miss you Dad and always will.
You never said goodbye to us
But I guess it's just as well.
Oh, what we would give if we could say
Hello Dad, in the same old way,
To hear your voice, to see your smile
To sit with you and talk awhilt
Some may forget, now that you are gone,
But we will remember, no matter how
long.
So God, please forgive our tears
And a constant wish that our Dad was here.
Othe were taken yes, we know
But has our Dad and we loved him so.5'

Your memory will never grow old. 5'

And helps us to forget,
Time has only proved,
How much we miss you yet. 5'
Lovingly remembered by wife Edith,
. Fred and June, Earl and Marilyn, Elsie
and LeRoy Keyes and grandchildren.
Computers
in principle
Despite the serious reservations of
Reeve Bill Mickle, Exeter council
agreed this week to approve in prin-
ciple a project by the Ontario Police
Commission to computerize small
town police forces.
Mickle, who chaired Monday's
meeting due to the late arrival of the
Mayor, said the system being touted
at a cost of up to $30,000 for hardware
must be a "cadillac system".
He feared that any type of commit-
ment on council's part could lead to
them being assessed some of the ex-
ploration costs if the project does not
proceed.
Mickle also noted that the police
department may not be the top priori-
ty for computerization, suggesting
that he would want to see one in the
town office first.
However, other members noted
council would be under no obligation
by supporting the proposal in princi-
ple and Peter Snell suggested some
money should be set aside in the
budget for that purpose.
In another computer matter, coun-
cil authorized the attendance of Clerk
Liz Bell at a micro computer
workshop in Richmond Hill this April
at a cost of $350.
The workshop will proivide some
insight into hardware and software
equipment available for municipal
users and the executive committee
said the clerk's attendance should
help in the needs study to be under-
taken regarding computers by the
committee this year".
NO AGENT YET
The January 15 meeting of the
Huronia Branch of the Ontario
Humane Society was held at
Catherine McNights, Clinton.
An agent has still not been found to
handle any abuse complaints for the
area.
Suggestions were made to start a
filing system of up-to-date members
of the Huronia Branch so notices
could be sent nut each month to
members that are due. The notices
will also have a place to check if they
would be willing to volunteer to help
out occasionally if needed.
The Gund Bear was won by Van

Times-Advocoto, January 29, 1986 Page 9A
Wise seeks better
deal for farmers
Taking what it has learned from
previous negotiations, federal
agriculture minister John Wise wants
a "better deal" for Canadian
agriculture.
"We want better access to export
markets, better controls on export
subsidies and contractural rules that
apply equally and fairly to all coun-
tries," he said.
The federal minister Was the guest
speaker at the annual meeting of the
Huron Cattlemen's Association.
He admitted that the United States
did better in negotiations under the
General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT), than did Canada. The
European Economic Council (EEC)
is allowed to import up to $23 million
worth of goods to Canada, but only 811
million to the United States.
"We learned from our experience,"
said the MP from Elgin County.
He was more optimistic abut those
GATT talks in his speech.
"At the end of our (GATT) negotia-
tions, we had succeeded in preventing
costly retaliatory action by the EEC
against a wide range of agricultural
exports. And, at the same time, we
had negotiated a new EEC beef im-
port level for 1985- just over 10,000 ton-
nes. That's less than half of the 1984
level. And it's nowhere even remote-
ly near the 30,000 to 40,000 tonnes I
heard predicted in some quarters,"
he said.
The federal agriculture minister
was questioned on free trade negotia-
tions with United States. Mr. Wise
said all that Canade has done is send
a message to Washington indicating
the government is interested in
bilateral trade negotiations.
"That's where we are," he stated.
Again, he stressed that the trade
deal has to be a good one for Canada.
"We want a good deal, a square
deal, a better deal for agriculture or
there ain't going to be a deal," said
Wise.
He was verbally attacked by one
spectator for not taking stronger ac-
tion against American states that
closed their borders last year to Cana-
dian pork.
"These is a misunderstanding of
what we can do," commented Wise.
He said the states that closed their
borders have to answer to the federal
government in Washington, not
Ottawa.
Mso on trade negotiations with the
U.S., Wise said a 40 member advisory
committee has been appointed, with
the members representing a cross-
section of Canada. He couldn't reveal
names, but noted that agriculture is
expected to have the largest sub-
committee.
In his speech to the 200 cattlemen
gathered in Clinton, Wise also com-
mented on tripartite stabilization
which he noted the Huron group ask-
ed for last September.
"The day I signed the agreements
with Ontario's agriculture minister,
Jack Riddell, was the day that I
delivered on the resolution you sent
to me last September," he said.
Ontario was the first to sign, then
came Prince Edward Island, then
Alberta. He expects Saskatchewan
and Manitoba will join shortly.
"With these arrangements signed,
participating provinces will represent
the production of more than 60 per
cent of Canada's hogs, 75 per cent of
all beef cattle, and about 70 per cent
of Canadian lambs," he said.
Wise noted that after almost 13
years of "frustration and failed
negotiations among farmers and
governments" the federal govern-
ment put the necessary legislation in
place.
"It took 14 years to bring every pro-
vince into the crop insurance scheme,
and I don't expect tripartite stabiliza-
tion to attract full participation over-
night," he reminded the farmers.
Tuckersmith will
ban snowmobilers
Tuckersmith is planning to get
tough on all snowmobile drivers in the
hamlets in the township because of
the few who roar around on their
machines at any hour of the day or
night.
Council has already given first and
second reading to a bylaw prohibiting
snowmobiles being driven in urban
areas on any roadway or sidewalk or
within any park. Third and final
reading will be given at the next
meeting on January 28.
A resolution was passed that a
bylaw be prepared establishing the
connection charge to Egmondville
water system at $1,000 from $600 and
the annual consumption charge be
raised from $50 to $75 per year, effec-
tive July 1, 1986,
Judy Miller of Vanastra has been
hired to sell the municipal dog tags at
the rate of $3 per tag. She was one of
four applicants for the position.
Clerk -treasurer Jack McLachlan
has been reappointed as the ad-
ministrator at the Vanastra Recrea-
tion Centre for another year.
Judy Miller, a teacher at the special
day care centre at Vanastra, is to be
given a 17 -week maternity leave, also
Janice Andrews, secretary at the
Tuckersmith municipal office, has
been granted maternity leave.
Council accepted the 1986 proposed
budget for the special day centre at
Vanastra for $66,100 for 11 months and
13 children, compared to last year's
budget of $50,150 for 10 months and 10
children. The special day care centre
is supported 100 percent -- 87 percent
by the provincial ministry of com-
munity and social services and the
Goderich and District Association for
the Mentally Retarded pays the re-
maining 13 percent, and this budget
will be presented to these for
approval.
The 1986 budget for the daycare
centre at Vanastra was accepted by
council for $102,650. Of this,
Tuckersmith township will pay $6,855
and the remainder by other
municipalities from which children
attend the centre, and the Ontario
ministry of community and social ser-
vices. Last year it cost Tuckersmith
$6,200 and the budget was $89,850.
The rates at the day care centre
were increased ten percent for 1986.
A late penalty charge of $1.00 will be
levied for each five minutes a parent
is late after 5:30 p.m. to pick up a
child. As well for outstanding ac-
counts over 30 days at the day care
centre the township will charge its
current interest rate.
Council will establish the policy that
children attending from participating
municipalities in the operating deficit
of the day care centre will be given
priority over children from non-
participating municipalities.
Expert says Hydro
could reduce needs
If Ontario Hydro practises energy
efficiency there's no need for the $432
million transmission line it proposes
to build out of Bruce Nuclear Power
Development BNPD).
The Foodland Hydro committee, a
group of about 1200 landowners from
Southwestern Ontario and Energy
probe of Toronto want to prove the
proposal to get power out of BNPD
isn't necessary.
"We want to question whether there
is a need to build," said Foodland
Hydro representative Tony McQuail
of RR 1, Lucknow.
The joint hearings board, chaired
by R. B. Eisen, is listening to evidence
on Ontario Hydro's proposal to con-
struct transmission lines from Bruce
to Essa (near Barrie), from Bruce to
London through Huron County and
from London to the Nanticoke
generating station on Lake Erie.
Both Energy probe and the
Foodland Hydro committee are
bringing in some heavyweights to
back up their statements. The two
groups stated presenting their direct
evidence on Day 24 (Jan. 23) of the
hearings being held at a hotel in
Guelph.
Amory Lovins, an energy consul-
tant from Colorado, was the first
witness called to testify for the anti-
transmission line group.
Lovins demonstrated that an
18 -watt compact fluorescent light
bulb could cut the use of hydro power
by a half. The American energy con-
sultant said these bulbs sell for about
$15 in the United States, not easy to
find in Canada, are four times : ef-
ficient and last 10 times longe
mote the royal Lipizzan horse Show
coming to Goderich May 25 and 26.
Volunteers are needed to work on the
different committees required.
The annual open meeting will be
held February 5 at the O.M.A.F. Of-
fice, Clinton.
•
standard incandescent bulbs. He says
that in the U.S., regular incandescent
bulbs use about 42 percent of all
lighting electricity.
However, after some sheepish
grins, Lovins changed some of his
calculations. A mistake in his figures
made Lovins concede that hydro
would sae a fifth, not a half, the
power it produces yearly.
In his testimony, Lovins said On-
tario Hydro should take advantage of
local electricity generation. This is
available in two forms in Ontario - co-
generation in industry or small hydro-
electric power plants.
The energy consultant said local
generation stations will reduce the
need for the large centralized system
most utilities have now.
The American also cautioned that
hydro customers in his country are
working so hard to save energy, that
there will be no market for Ontario
Ilydro's electricity export. He also
predicted that efficiency would
enable the utility to bock out of coal -
burning generating stations first then
nuclear.
But hydro and the provincial board
of inquiry looking into the proposal
questioned how the bottled up power
would get out of the Bruce station.
"0 this board turned down this pr6-
posal, Ontario Hydro could get to ef-
ficiency load management and con-
centrate their minds wonderfully,"
Lovins told the board.
Besides Lovins, the Foodland
Hydro committee plans to bring in
Dr. John Robinson of the University
of Guelph, a load forecast specialist
and Michael Rau, plant manager of
the Huron County board of education.
McQuail says Rau has developed
energy savings methods.
The hearings are expected to con-
tinue in Guelph through February.
After that they will move to London,
Simcoe, Markdale and Clinton. The
hearings are scheduled for Clinton on
April 15.
