Exeter votes against bilingual province EXETER - Exeter councilagreed with a resolution passed by Tarbutt Township opposing the increasing amount of bilingualism and trans- lation required for government doc- uments. The resolution suggested that English would continue to be the official language of the township, assuring a concept of equality for each ethnic, cultural and language group in its jurisdiction." "Where is this place?" asked mayor Bruce Shaw. "Must be somewhere near the Quebec border," said deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom made the motion that Exeter concur with the resolution. He said that with the emphasis on recycling these days, forced bilingualism in predominantly English-speaking ar- eas could only be considered execs-, sive and costly. "1 can't help but think there is a tremendous amount of waste every year...all the paper we are being bombarded with," said Hoogen- boom. "Any other rednecks want to say anything?" said Shaw, jokingly. Hoogenboom defended himself, pointing to the cultural advantages of bilingualism in European coun- tries, but said it had little value in Ontario when few people are bilin- gual anyway. Councillor Morley Hall pointed out Hoogenboom is bilingual him- self, but in English and Dutch. - Council unanimously supported Tarbutt's resolution.
