Page 2 October 31, 1979 --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.

Jean Lemay from Quebec used area roads on the last portion of a 19 months trip from his home to Mexico and ' return. 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 Blake. Sunday he headed east on Highway 83 and landed at the James Gar- diner farm near Farquhar. He started from Quebec in early April of 1978.

Asked by the T -A of his most dangerous exploits Lemay said "1 suppose going along the narrow roads of the mountains was the most precarious and I ran into all kinds of storms. Lemay said everyone he met along the way were friendly and wanting to help. He continued, "I ran into people who helped me fix my wagon when it broke down and an 86 year-old blacksmith blacksmith who helped with my horses' shoes. His two horses are six years old and are of the Norwegian Fjord breed. While travelling through Maine, Lemay ran into a family that recently com- pleted a 15,000 mile jaunt in a similar covered wagon. He spends every night in his covered wagon which is equiped with a wood burning stove and all the necessary kitchen utensils. Lemay did not tell the T -A, the estimated cost of the trip, - but, told Mrs. James Gar- dioer it would be about *700. He spent only a few minutes in the Gardiner home. He parked his wagon in their yard from 5:30 p.m. Sunday .to about. 9 a.m, Monday when he headed for his next- destination. of Monkton. Lemay's quarters in his wagon are restricted, but also include a bake shop in. addition to kitchen and bedr bei' tact Brad Gregus for more information.

Manager Hugh Davis was asked to poll the staff as to their wishes in that regard and • make final arrangements through Livingstone. It was indicated about *20 per employee would be involved. In the matter of increasing costs, Davis reported that this fall the price of copper for lines has risen from *508 per kilometer to *699. "It's pretty grim," he commented, while Livingstone remarked that he hadn't heard many reports lately of thieves making off with copper lines. "Keep your fingers crossed." Mayor Derry Boyle replied.

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. LUCAN MON.
