From Exeter: "When will our town decide that a traffic light is needed at the Main and Victoria St. intersection? Turning left off Victoria in either direction is almost impossible at certain times. It's time for a light." A disgruntled driver: "Why is it vans and panel trucks always seem to park near inter- sections on Exeter's Main St, blocking motorists' visibility when they want to exit from a side street? Couldn't the drivers of these large vehicles be more considerate and park nearer the middle of the block?" And an abused driver: - "f wonder about the mental age of some of the high school stu- dents who ride the school buses. Those in the back scats sometimes seem to have so little to occupy their minds that they resort to mak- ing nide gestures aimed at the occupants of cars behind them. "My assumption that the students I encountered recently were head- ing to SHDHS was based on size and shape; for all I know, they may have been heading to remedial kindergarten. "I realize such actions are more mindless than malicious. However, when my generation wants to hand on the future to these young peo- ple, will some fail to grasp opportunity because their hands, middle finger extended, are frozen in mid-air?" From a night -hawk: "Why do they turn off the Christmas decorations on Main St. so early insthc morning? Do they think people who stay out after 2 a.m. don't celebrate Christmas? I pay taxes and I want the privilege of seeing Christmas lights when its dark -- find I don't want to have to drive to Lucan td do it either. What is it with the PUC? Don't they pay their bills? There. Put that on your Telephone Pole." Editor's Note: Because this is a new weekly feature, we've got some bugs to iron out.
