The announcement was made by Chamber secretary Norene Culp last week. The decision to cancel the event came after a meeting of the Cham- ber held to address that issue and the executive agreed the interest to hold it this year was lacking and there was insufficient funds. The lack of volunteer time and funds further compounded the situa- tion. The chamber will still be offering a carnival that week and the NEC Video van will still be parked at the beach. The van will still be offering a chance for all youngsters under age 18 to take part in a brand new video game free of charge. There will however be no sand- castle competition and no beauty contest. The chamber will answer any questions regarding the cancella- tions by dialing 238-2001.

Davis emphasized that all suggestions were just that - sug- gestions. Mayor Bruce Shaw wanted to know if the PUC would abandon the Usborne wells if the town ob- tained water directly from Lake Hu- ron. Davis said in that case the wells would be held in reserve, but the PUC would never abandon the filtration and river water systems which supply industrial customers. Commissioner Harry DeVries wondered if a metering system would encourage people to use less water. Davis pointed out that arca water is very hard, and Hensall had tried meters, only to have them seize up with mineral deposits from the'water. Davis said Exeter's problem is a lack of storage. Currently he is tak- ing measures such as shutting off a service pump during the day to. let the reservoir build up ready for evening lawn watering. De Vries asked if customers were being kept in line. Davis said every report of illegal watering was fol- lowed up, and a number of people had been contacted. Restrictions will remain unchanged, as Davis be- lieves the present limitations are the easiest to follow, and to en- force. i at 5 p.m. The day concludes with dancing to the Golden Tones start- ing at 9 p:m,.
