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.

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.

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.
