CT 28. 235-1055 Serving Exeter and Area through the Huron County and London - St. Thomas Real Estate Boards No Times-Advocate, for mayor just yet EXETER - Town councillor Ben Hoogenboom made clear his elec- tion plans at Monday's council meeting, and insisted he had no plans to challenge Bruce Shaw's campaign for mayor. Hoogenboom was sufficiently vague two weeks ago about his plans for November's municipal election that it led some to wonder if he would be challenging the may- or's chair. Hoogenboom said, no, he is only interested in another term as councillor. "I'd like to set the record straight that I am running for councillor," said Hoogenboom, who agreed he may have given the wrong impres- sion at the last council meeting. Councillor Ervin Sillery, who was absent at the last meeting, an- nounced he too was planning to seek re-election. "I guess I'm willing," said Sillery when pressed by council about his election plans. "1'm back (from va- cation) safe. My health is good." "If I can be of assistance to the town I'm happy to do so." Councillor Dorothy Chapman, who has announced she will not be running in the election said that the time has come for other people to get interested in the race to put to- gether the next town government. "I'd like to see some good people put their names in here and let's have a competition," said Chap- man. Councillor Morley Hall, who is also retiring from council, agreed with Chapman. y;:yry.;:i i:+.:• h Z&X6:::$- �:i'C`.••"v:{;'t:>l.:c i::j':tiii(t ha ii t:.:•:iti2 : :. ..v •:nL:: �: d. • !�:' 3'•.-0`•:: i::' -t: vii::::': v. ::. � i v:: :v::; C , Break enter and theft, Zurich Overnight on August 1, 1991, an unknown person(s) broke into Klopps Garage on Goshen Street in the village of Zurich. The perpe- trator would appear to have been small as entry was gained by remov- ing a rear window and then squeezing through security bars that were spaced 8-9 inches apart. Stolen were the following items. Four packages of Players filter cigarettes. Four packages of Players Light cigarettes Three packages of DuMaurier regular. Eight packages of DuMaurier kings. Four packages of DuMaurier king lights. In addition there were chocolate bars, Old Port cigarillos and some Virginia pipe tobacco. Break enter and theft, Exeter There were three break and enters in Exeter on July 23, 1991. No. one occurred when a thief smashed the front glass door of the Sunoco gas station on Main Street in Exeter and once inside stole $15.00 in loonies and $3.00 in quarters. No. 2 took place at the Hasty Market when at approximately 5 a.m. in the morning the perpetrator again smashed out the front door win- dow entered and pried the cash register open and removed $100.00 in bills. No. 3 was at the Exeter Chrysler dealers on Main Street North and the thief pried open a side door, entered the building and rifled through the safe and then left. Nothing appears to have been stolen. It is believed the same person(s) committed all three break and en- ters and the only description is: A 6' tall male, 21-25 years old with a larger build. This person was driving a '77 to '79 T -bird which may have been red in colour.

REMEMBER CRIME DOESNT PAY CRIME STOPPERS DOES A few chief executive officers in a couple of Canadian institutions should have done their homework before endorsing the Home and Family Guide published -may the-- Harmony heHarmony Foundation. The publication was being pushed by Canada Trust and the Royal Bank. Sections in the Guide printed rather unflattering pictures of some areas of Canadian agricul- ture. The Ontario Farm Animal Council spearheaded an attack against the Guide because it was being promoted by institutions that should have known better. We have been customers of both Canda Trust and Royal Bank since Zebedee was an able seaman on the Sea of Galilee -- well, it seems that long -- but when this newsletter ap- peared, I found myself wondering why these financial giants would support it. In our area, both Canada Trust and the Royal have a great many rural clients. A good way to get ride of them is to seemingly sup- port such publications as the Home and Family Guide. Thanks to more level-headed executives, this unflat- tering look at some aspects of farm- ing will no longer be available. I quite liked the way Peter Mau- rice, president of Canada Trust, ex- plained it: "We do believe the Home and Family Guide offer many valuable and helpful tips to anyone wanting to make a differ- ence. Many of you who objected to some parts of the Guide have ac- knowledged that the publication does add value. However, through your feedback, we've learned that many environmental issucs are sub- jects upon which reasonable people can differ, in our attempt to add to the environmental awareness of our customers, we have indirectly en- tered into areas where we do not have the expertise to add value. "For that reason, we have made the decision to discontinue the dis- tribution of the Home and Family guide and of the Harmony Foun- dation newsletter through our branch system. This is not a matter of taking sides in the contentious issues, but simply to admit that Canada Trust does not have the expertise to be a party, even indi- rectly, in the discussion. You may be sure that your feedback has taught us to be sensitive to the dif- ferent aspects of each environmen- tal issue." Thank you, President Peter. The Royal Bank backed out some time ago. It seems to me both these institu- tions should have known better. 1 would be willing to bet they either did not ask their rural experts about the newsletter tw they failed to heed the advice given to them by their rural experts. Both of them have people with manure on their boots, believe me. They have people who specialize in giving advice to farmers. They have people with degrees in farm management and animal husband- ry hired specifically to help their rural customers. The final decision was probably made by some city -bred, paper - pushing, bleeding-heart liberal who wouldn't know a Hereford from a Holstein or buckwheat from branchwater. Used to be, almost everyone knew a little bit about farming. Not so today. Only about 3.5 per- cent -- or is it four percent? -- of the population are actively en- gaged in agriculture these days and that means that fewer people in any endeavor are aware of what farming is all about. The mistake, i suppose, is under- standable. Maybe next time, the paper -pushers will allow their farm experts or even some of their valuable farmer -customers to help in decision making. But don't hold your breath wait- ing.
