Bylaw approved
to allow expansion
A special bylaw was
passed by Exeter council
,lap) week, permitting
Sherwood (Exeter) Ltd. to
plan an addition on their
Wellington St. property.
The implement business is
presently. a legal non-
conforming use in a special
commercial zoning status
given the property, and the
• bylaw was necessary to
extend that nonconforming
use.
The change had been
recommended by the
planning board and one of
their recommendations to
council was that it be ap-
proved as long as the firm
withdraw their objection to
the new zoning bylaw which
is now before the Ontario
Municipal Board.
Gabby Mol advised he
would be prepared to with-
draw the objection. He will
also be required to sign a
development _ .agreement -
which includes• such things
as hard •surface treatment,
landscaping, planting strips
and a site plan outlining
these amenities.
Inoutliningdetails for the
expansion. Mol advised that
he would be demolishing one
of Exeter's landmarks, the
old creamery at the corner of
William and Wellington.
Councillor Ted Wright
lauded that plan. saying the
old structure was an eye-
sore.
During the discussion.
Reeve Si Simmons strongly
suggested that the planning
board should take a long.
hard look at the new zoning
bylaw and official plan and
try to take steps to avoid the
necessity for property
owners to seek amendments
every time they wanted to
-----make some-cha4ges
He said the current
situation was "damn' poor
planning".
However. planning board
member Jay Campbell
questioned whether people
should be allowed to do
anything they wished with
their property .and said

council had to nave some
control and state what they
wanted to see develop in any
particular area.
"I too get- upset at the
amount of red tape, but the
philosophy (of planning)
makes sense to me," he said.
No site yet
for '82 match
The Middlesex County site
for the 1982 International
Plowing Match is not likely
to be chosen until sometime
in October. Fred Lewis of
London Township says.
Mr. Lewis. a director of
the Ontario Plowmens'
Association.' ays September
is a busy month for the in-
ternational committee that
is operating this year's
match in the Chatham area.
The decision was originally
to have been made in early
summer. .•
Mr. Lewis says that to his
knowledge one of the
recommended sites has been
officially eliminated
although most were told to
lower prices they want for
the use of their land. In fact,
he and _ Middles -ex County. .
Plowmens' Association
president Wilson Hodgins
say the county group has
sent along a sixth site. based -
on the Green family farm.
Part of the Strathmere
Lodge property. owned by
the county, is on the
proposed site.
Also apparently in the
running are Simon Willemse

Cold showers may result
from energy saving plan
The South Huron
Recreation Centre may see a
saving of $1,500 on its budget
but it will mean hockey
players will .have to have
cooler hot `rowers.
Rec administrator Ian
Smith told the rec centre
board Monday "That there
might be some controversy"
but "There's a method to our
madness."
Smith said he and Alvin
Willert had gone over two
books from -the ministry of

• has been picked up by the ice
machine will be dumped
outside rather than using the
indoor melting pit.
In terms of heat for the
stands. Smith told the board
that only certain sections of
the stands would have heat
for uses which •attract few
spectators. For events such
as the Hawk's games the
heating will be at its normal
level, he said.
All of the arena's user "
groups -will --be- made -aware ---
of the program with Smith
saying the measures could
be revised.
The board deferred a
decision on signs for the rec
centre until another quote
can be obtained.
Smith said he had received
two quotations for a sign to
be located on the west side of
arena.
On a motion made by
Jerry MacLean and
seconded by Derry Boyle the
board held the matter over
culture and recreation _and__
Nelson Elliott._of_-Thorndale__the-minisT-ry-ofe iergy which
and Donald McDonald of mentioned areas in which
Glencoe- Mr. Willemse said
he was. told that his
requested price is too high,
but he has not received word
that he eliminated.
Mr Hodgins offers some
clarification of the payment
situation. Bids are running
from about S125 to $400 per
acre for land to be occupied
by the tent city. But most of
the land needed for plowing -
competition is being offered
at about half those rates.
Mr. Willemse said he did
not want to appear greedy.
but he said the plowing
match committee is being
unrealistic if it thinks it
should pay the same rates as
in the past few -years for an
event that is three years in
the future.
He said he offered a
realistic price. based on the
loss of at least one year of
cash crops and on the effects
of inflation on his farm
operation. He suggested that
some farmers appear to be
willing to take losses for the
prestige of hosting the
plowing match. •
800 to 1.000 acre of land
are needed for the in-
ternational match.
arenas could save on energy
requirments.
Smith said the two year old
structure already had in-
corporated several of the
suggestions which were
mentioned in the books such
as the insulating of the roof.
One of the most noticeable
changes will be the
whitewashing of the ice
which will allow the rec
centre to use only the
florescent lights for certain
arena activities such as
house league hockey.
The rec administrator
stressed that the regular
lighting would be used for
most other activities such as
the Hawks' games and
practices.
For that after game or
after practice shower, users
of the arena will notice the
water slightly cooler as the
hot temperature has been"
cut back to 110 degrees
fahrenheit.
This year's ice may be
somewhat bumpier as the ice
resurfacer will be travellig
ata slightly faster speed and
as such. will be using less

Farmers face increases
Assessment factor debated
By ALICE GIBE
Assessment commissioner
Floyd Jenkins. speaking to
Huron Federation of
Agriculture members in
Belgrave Thursday night on
the subject of tax
equalization factors, told his
audience "somebody
organized a horse race
before there were any
horses."
He said the big change is
that factors for rural
municipalities have
decreased to a greater ex-
tent than they have in urban
municipalities across the
county. This means "costs to
rural municipalities have
decreased to a greater ex-
tent than they have in urban
municipalities across the
county. This means "costs to
•rural taxpayers will increase
more rapidly then to urban
municipalities," the
assessment commissioner
said.
He told the audience he
doesn't know how these
factors will be used in
assessing 1980 taxes and said
"anything you hear or read
is strictly supposition at this
time." He said a "wait and

member asked the
assessment commissioner if
the basis for calculating the
educational tax isn't wrong.
The man said "houses, not
land, send children to
school" arid asked whether
"we should be taking that
view of it municipally?"

Mr. Jenkins told the
federation members,
"Inflation in values in urban
municipalities has not been
as great as inflation in rural
municipalities." He said
while land prices have gone
up for farmland, they
haven't increased as much in
towns like Clinton and
Goderich.
Mr. Jenkins concluded by
saying the change in the
equalization factor will
eventually affect all tax-
payers. Under the present
cost sharing system in ef-
fect. the towns and villages
in the county pay a greater
share of county expenses.
However. township residents
claim urban populations
gain much greater benefit
from county services such as
sewers and water systems
and should pay for those
services. -
Many members of the
audience still seemed per-
plexed at how the
equalization factors will
affect their taxes and
township mill rate in the
coming year at the con-
clusion 01 the meeting.
In reviewing his past year
as a member of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
board- of directors, Merle
Gunby told federation
members he believed the
most significant activity was
the food industry inquiry
initiated by Peter Hannam.
He said he feels the food
inquiry has pointed out the
need for the Ontario

Jamieson was named head
of the livestock division at
Centralia in 1972 and con-
tinued in that capacity until

One of his added assign-
ments at Centralia has been
the organizing and
presentation of many yearly
short courses since 1969.
In June of 1978 he attended

secondary'," non -Baccalau-

improve their marketing
activities and pointed out the
practise of discounts and
allowances in the retail food
industry to consumers.
He said other significant
steps had been the amend-
ment to the Petty Trespass
Act and the institution of the
Farm Price Index, which
shows the consumer where
his food dollar is going.
Mr. Gunby said the index,
which is carried in many
newspapers across the
province, "quite often shows
farmers are not responsible
for the increase in food
prices."
He said the OFA's greatest
failure was "we failed to get
the government to take
agriculture seriously."
Among examples of this he
said they had failed to get the
government to take action
and pass "decent farm

failed to stop imports of
agricultural products and
that ' GAAT trade
negotiations in Tokyo proved
disappointing from an
agricultural point of view:'
