--Material costs grim
Consider gifts in lieu of banquet
Although a good portion of
Monday's meeting of the
Exeter Public Utilities
Commission was dealing
with increased costs, the
Commissioners ended up
trying to find some way to
give money away.
Manager Hugh Davis
noted that it was time to
arrange for the -safety
banquet for the employees,
but indicated some thought a
change was warranted in
that anneal event.
The money for the banquet
,comes from a return on the
payments for Workmen's
Compensation Coverage and
the Com missions required
by law to return some of
those savings to the em-
ployees.
Chairman Chan
Livingstone said that
Ontario Hydro often held
banquets.- but on occasions

ON LONG JAUNT — Jean Lemay of Quebec is heading back home after a trip with his
covered wagon and team of horses to Mexico. He passed through this area Sunday, spen-
ding the night at the form of James Gardiner, near Farquhar. The complete trip is expected
to take him some 7,000 miles. T -A photo

Residents along Highway

the week -end to catch a
glimpse of the past.
Jean Lemay from Quebec
used area roads on the last

from his home to Mexico and '

What is so unusual about
travelling 3,500 miles?
Lemay is -making the trip
by covered wagon and a
team of horses. He covers
about 25 miles a day.
The Quebecer spent'
Saturday night at the Lake
Huron Water System at Port

east on Highway 83 and
landed at the James Gar-
diner farm near Farquhar.
He started from Quebec in

Asked by the T -A of his

along the narrow roads of the
mountains was the most
precarious and I ran into all

Lemay said everyone he
met along the way were

He spends every night in

equiped with a wood burning

Lemay did not tell the T -A,

In the matter of increasing
costs, Davis reported that
this fall the price of copper

"It's pretty grim," he
commented, while
Livingstone remarked that
he hadn't heard many

HOWARD DIGNAN
Howard James on Monday
October 22, 1979- at
Mississauga Hospital,
-Howard James Dignan
beloved husband of Jessie
(Mowat), loved father of
David Howard Dignan.
Funeral service held at
Turner and Porter York
Chappel, 2357 Bloor St. W
Toronto- on Thursday
Oct abets-->25:---4nEeElrnent
Acton Cemetary.
40 -foot one costs *225. Davis
said he used to figure on *1.00
per foot for poles.
A considerable discussion
was held on servicing three
lots to be opened up on
Riverside Drive, north-west
of the curling rink.
While more costing will be
required, Davis said it was a
pretty expensive proposition
for the PUC for only three
lots.
Livingstone questioned
why the lots had been
severed when the servicing
costs were going to be so
high.
The severances were
granted by the committee of
adjustment for Len Veri,
subject to a devlopment
agreement being approved
with the town.
Davis said that former
Commissions had always
been advised that there
would be no further
development in that area
without a plan of subdivision,
but Boyle noted that
development was still being
allowed where the lots were
on existing streets.
The manager reported
that eight meters had been
ordered for Veri's mini -mall
on Main St. at a total cost of
*900 and more meters would
. be required before project is
completed.
He said he had no idea so
many small services were
involved as each tenant will
be paying his or her own
hydro bill.
Night classes
up slightly
The attendance figures for
evening classes at South
Huron District High School
are up slightly over last
year. Principal Joe Wooden
says that last fall there were
26 classes held with 330
people enrolled. This year
there are 29 different
courses, and 388 people
enrolled.
Some courses originally on
the roster had to be dropped
because not enough in-
terested people, signed up.
Grade 12 and 13 level Math
courses, grade 11 English,
two Pitman shorthand
classes, and a creative
writing class were cancelled
due to lack of registrants.
Wooden says that there are
seven credit courses being
offered this year --the most'
ever offered at night school.
About 75 people have
enrolled in the credit
courses, of which 25 per cent
are day school students.
Grade 12 computer studies,
and grade 13 mathematics of
investment are not offered
during the day. Many high
school students have signed
up for these courses in order
to obtain extra credits.
One of the more popular
courses is beginners sign
language for communication
with deaf. About 25 people
are taking the course
taught by Marleen Taylor
of Hensall.Fitnessand weight
control for men and women
is the largest class, with
about 40 members.
The smallest class is grade
12 English. Only nine people
registered for that course,
but Wooden says he felt it
was worthwhile to offer it for
those people. \
Wometl.;s .volleyball on
Tuesday nights and Thur-
sde:;.• :::sift badmintonare not
part of the night school
system, but are very
popular.
Wooden• says that the
attendance is more than
satisfactory. "That many
people in a small community
interested in night school is
very good," he added.
