Irv's mother Mrs. Valeria Armstrong was the first resident of The Villa. Should promote good and progressive thoughts The Progressive Conservative par- ty should promote good and pro- gressive thoughts and not put down the party, says Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff. Speaking at the founding meeting for the new riding of Huron in Clinton last week, Cardiff added, "It's the lit- tle things that are damaging to the party; when one of our own says we have failed." One example Cardiff gave was Marcel Masse who says the PC party has let the Quebec PCs down. Cardiff was enthusiastic about the new Huron riding which is the result of a revision of Ontario's electoral districts. The local ridings of Huron - Bruce and Huron -Middlesex will cease to exist. Instead, three ridings, Huron, Bruce and Middlesex, will be formed. With the introduction of a' new riding comes the necessity for a new constitution for the PC Association. Ralph Smith read through the Con- stitution Report and after a lengthy discussion, the Constitution was adopted. The officers were elected. Donna Wood of Clinton is president; Ken Campbell of McKillop Township is first vice-president; financial officer is Bill Henry of Goderich; secretary is Janet Webster of Stanley Township; and the six vice presidents are Nico Peters of Tuckersmith Township, John Schenk of Wingham, Mel Hohner of Clinton, Gary McCor- mick of Turnberry Township, Ralph Smith of Seaforth and Mary Proctor of Morris Township. The nine members on the advisory committee are Elmer Bell of Exeter, Lorne Klelnstiver of Dashwood, Elmer Hayter of Stanley Township, Mary Donnelly of Goderich, Margaret Bennett of Wingham, Carol Arthur of Exeter, Chris Little of Ex- eter, Tom Jasper of Goderich, and Bruce Shaw of Exeter. Honorary members are Charlie MacNaughton of Exeter, Bob McKinley of Goderich Township, Murray Cardiff of Brussels, Jim Britnell of Goderich, Anson McKinley of Stanley Township, Jim Hayter of Goderich, Bill Walden of Wingham, and George McCutcheon of Brussels. The 'delegates for the party's general meeting are Donna Wood (the president automatically becomes a delegate), Gary Chapman, Dave Elliot, Gary McCormick, Ken Camp- bell and Nico Peters. One alternate was chosen, Bernie Haines. It is up to the executive to fill the other three spots. The general meeting will be held in Hamilton from September 19-21. Jim Veri and Tom Kneale of the Young Progressive Conservatives (YPC) were chosen to attend the meeting as well. The YPC also chose five people to attend the•Youth Convention from September 16-21. They are Tom Kneale, Jim Veri, Jeff Wareham, Patti O'Toole and Angela Miller. Denise Wilkins and Kristen Stephan are alternates. The YPC executive was elected. Jim Veri of Exeter is president; Jeff Wareham of Exeter is vice-president; secretary -treasurer is Cathy Norris of Kirkton; policy director is Denise Wilkins of Wingham; Patti O'Toole of Exeter is social director; publicity director is Carolyn Wood of Clinton; north regional director is Steve Sparl- ing of Blyth; and Tom Kneale of Grand Bend is south regional director. Entertainment throughout the evening was provided by The Fog Horns from Goderich. ay.c.unc Erosion of the Lake Huron shoreline, and counter meuures that only shift the problem elsewhere, was one of the mala topics addressed by members of Hay council at their first Var September meeting. alve Lionel Wilder said he and Stanley Reeve Clarence Rau had ex- amined the erosion which had occur- red on the shoreline at the boundary of the two townships Miter the installa- tion of steel pilings, 100 feet out in the lake. Ten feet of bank has been lost, and numerous trees are now in the water. "It's worth a trip. I couldn't believe it. An hour's chainsawing wouldn't clean it up", Wilder said. Ausable Bavfield Conservation Authority manager Tom Prout at- tended the meeting to respond to some of council's questions concern- ing jurisdiction, regulation and responsibility among ABCA, the ministry of natural resources and the township. Councillors wanted clarification before the new water system brings the inevitable increas- ed development between Highway 21 and Lake Huron. The ABCA rep's visit had been precipitated by a property owner who wanted to know why a prospective buyer would have to have expensive geotechnical test holes drilled before the ABCA would allow a permanent -residence to be built. Prout agreed there was confusion over lines of authority. ABCA does not regulate all the area shown on flood plain maps, but only where rivers and gullies flow to the lake. He said each building application is treated on an individual basis, and not all require Who has authority? msuus. oroslsfl eoNre test holes. He explained that in this particular case, a $100,000 house was to be bullt in the bank. Prout said the cost of drilling test holes would represent one percent of the combined value of house and lot "to guarantee a house is there tomor- row", adding "if someone wants to build on the side of a cliff and can pro- ve stable footing for 100 years, he can go ahead." Prout said a provincial committee has been set up to examine the con- fusion over lines of authority, and the ABCA has suggested itself as a suitable local body to administer all regulations governing Lakeshore con- servation and development. Wilder concurred, saying he would like to see ABCA jurisdiction over the entire area, as the ministry of natural resources seemed to be bouncing shoreline protection responsibility back to the municipalities. Prout brought up the ABCA's re- quest that the five affected municipalities with shoreline join with the ABCA in $90,000 fill line map- ping project for flooding and erosion to identify areas where development will be allowed, and where it will be forbidden. Subracting a provincial grant of 90 percent of the cost, and the part paid by ABCA, Hay's share would be approximately $1,200. Council voted unanimously to take part in the project. Prout said Victor Brisson's plan for a marina will be reviewed at a regular meeting later in September. He noted that marinas are a permit- ted use in a flood plain. In other business, Wilder informed council an OMB hearing into the Council passes law for emergency control Although they hope it w111 never have to be enacted, Exeter council this week passed a bylaw to establish a plan for the co-ordination of ser- vices in the event of a local emergency. The bylaw establishes an emergeD- cy operations control group made up of the mayor, clerk -treasurer, police chief, works superintendent, fire chief, PUC manager and the chief building official. That group is to meet.twlce a year at the request of the police chief to review and update the schedule. The designated persons may be represented by their appointee. The emergency operations control group will assemble, as necessa , at AT.CCAT CROPS DAY — Shown chatting during Wednesday's Crops Day at Centralia College are area farmers Harold Finkbeiner, George Sereda and Bruce Shapton.

T -A photo BC spurs mayor's punny side After being away on an extended holiday to the west coast, Mayor Bruce Shaw returned to Exeter coun- cil this week, saying that he almost missed the meetings -emphasizing the almost. After rattling off a list of puns later in the meeting, there may have been some question on the part of others whether he had been away long enough. Shaw's punny side emerged during a discussion on a suggestion that employees may he allowed some un- paid time off following pregnancy leave. Looking in the direction of deputy - clerk Laurie Dykstra, Shaw said it ap- peared to be a pressing issue that was becoming more prominent it} due course and was pregnant ties the discussion. 6� "We're anxious to receive your delivery of the report," he advised Gaylan Josephson, who along with Ben Ifoogenboom had been named as an ad hoc committee to study some personnel matters. When Josephson said a written report would be coming soon, he ask- ed the deputy -clerk if that would meet the time factor. "1 hope so," Mrs. Dykstra responded. Members of council appeared more enamored .with Shaw's display as ohairman of the proceedings for the opening of the Exeter Villa on Sun- day. Several congratulated him on a job well done with Hoogenboom sug- gesting the Mayor should consider an appearance on the Carson show. In another comment on the open- . ing, Josephson said the Targe number in attendance gave credence to the importance of the occasion that Ex- eter now has its own nursing and rest home facility. CANCER CI BE BEATEN the municipal bulding or close to the scene, depending on the nature or location of the emergency and the mayor or his/her alternative is em- powered to declare an emergency to exist and may designate any area of the town as an emergency area. Each of the officials has duties outlined under the bylaw to undertake for evacuations, dispersal of people at the scene, discontinuation of any utili- ty that constitutes a hazard, ar- rangements for accommodation for residents displaced, etc. The South Huron Hospital disaster plan will be implemented by hospital officials when alerted that an emergency exists. All Local officials involved may call on county or provincial departments fo- any assistance required that is dictated by the nature or extent of any emergency. Councillors could use car Exeter's new "company car" will be used primarily by staff members, but council agreed this week that it will be made available to council members for out-of-town trips when it can save tax dollars in being used for such. Reporting from the executive com- mittee, Tuesday, Mayor Bruce Shaw said the recently leased vehicle can be used by council members with ad- vance notice and when it provides practical savings. As an example, he noted that coun- cil members would be given 20 cents per km. for use of their own vehicle and a jaunt to Toronto would cost tax- payers $80. The cost could be much less if the town vehicle was used, he explained, noting whimsically that the size of the vehicle indicated gas for a trip to Toronto should be in the five dollar range. He said common sense and reason would be the criteria used in deciding when the car should be used by coun- cil members. The verbal policy statement gave no indication whether town staff members would have the vehicle for driving to and from work each day. Fleck workers could strike A September 8 strike date has been set for unionized workers at the Fleck Manufacturing Inc. auto parts plant If contract talks do not result In a ten- tative agreement. Talks between the company and the Canadian Auto Workers were held yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon and are scheduled again for Friday. The company and the union met for two days last week and Bert Rovers, national representative of the CAW, said they were productive talks. We've worked out some of the language problems to our satisfac- tion. I'm optimistic." Rovers said the outstanding issue remains monetary, although some other language pro- blems need to be resolved. About 88 percent of the workers voted in favor of strike action earlier this month. The employees, 90 per- cent of whom are women, average $8.50 an hour under the existing agreement. The plant makes wiring harnesses for automobiles. GIVE BLOOD SAVE LIFE waterworks bylaw is scheduled for October 14 at 1:00 p.m. In either the council chamber of the township hall, depending on the number attending. Two days have been allowed. Wilder said engineer Burns Ross has emphasized the importance of having a large number of proponents on hand, as well as the objectors. As soon as the bylaw is passed, con- struction contracts can be awarded. Wilder reported that the first meeting with Exeter council representatives to deal with a feasibility study on the Huron Farms plans for an agricultural -commercial subdivision had been very productive. "Exeter's representatives gave 100 percent cooperation. There may be compromises, but I think it will be a pretty good set-up when done", Wilder predicted.
