I could only imagine the time and effort put forth by all to make the Run turn out so well. I found the route was clear- ly marked and the maps quite helpful.

Thanks to the community Dear Editor: The Exeter Fall Fair is an event for the community to participate in and enjoy. This year was no ex- ception. Fine weather and interest- ing new activities boosted our at- tendance this year. We'd like to thank all who sup- ported our fair; the many volun- teers, exhibitors and sponsors for their time, entries and donations, and you the community for taking the time to attend. There arc a few individuals we would like to recognize for their efforts: Bill and Rosemary Ferguson made our focus featuring 'Honey' a reality. Their sharing of time, sug- gestions and honey products was immensely appreciated; Pete? Kleinschmidt and -the Royal Bank brought the fair to Main Street. The Antique Tractor Dis- play helped to promote the fair's agricultural roots; Esther Hillman brought out the bingo player in everyone Saturday night. She gave freely of her time and 'knowledge to as- sist we bingo 'greenhorns Gerry Smith went be- yond the call of duty to ensure that our stepdancing competition would be great entertainment on Sunday.

All who attended our Friday night program would heartily agree that the "Honey Dippers" were the highlight of the evening. The en- thusiasm and support of these non- profit organizations for this event was terrific but the twenty brave individuals who painted their faces with honey for this event are at the top of the list. It was a great fair and the contri- butions of many made it so. Thank you Exeter and area for supporting your fair. Wayne Shapton, on behalf of the Exeter Agricultural Society. Dear Editor: There's always "something do- ing" in this, the nicest town in On- tario. Two items at the Fall Fair caught the eye: A gigantic beauti- ful and bounteous begonia won a first as a tribute to the green thumbs of Albert and Jean Van- derfaan. A sleek tabby cat won a first for having the most rings on his (or her) tail! Certainly a di- verse offering of goodies to ad- mire at the Fair. The gallant girls and boys of our efficient Fire Brigade held a well attended barbecue on Darling's Our fine town Parking lot The money, thanks to Darlings and our fine fire-fighters goes to a special Res- cue trailer to contain rescue equipment to help save lives in case of a large dis- aster such as a school bus accident. We are fortunate to have such a fine group of volunteers who keep up a high standard of training, al- ways ready in case of an emergen- cy, day or night, and who give so freely of their time and effort Talking to the passing throng, a topic of conversation is the "Big Police Chief Mystery". Nobody seems to know what really hap- pened, but everyone is interested. Many voiced the opinion that if and when a new chief is appointed, why not somebody from the ranks? Surely there must be several good candidates on the present force who are familiar with the police problems of our fine town. Why go out of town? Sincerely, Gibby, J.M. Gibson Bowier receives award Dear Editor: 1 was presented with my third consecutive "Ontario Publicity Chairperson of the Year" award at the 26th Ontario Five Pin Bowlers Association Convention Presi- dent's Dinner and Awards night at Muskoka's Clevelands House in June.

Sincerely, Ron Dann, Bluewater 5 Pin Bowlers' Association and Ontario 5 Pin Bowlers' Association Publicity Chairperson of the Year. Should Canadians vote "yes" or "no" Dear Editor: The question is: should Canadi- ans vote "yes" or "no" on the Con- stitution? The answer is: vote "NO", unless you are a politician or a civil servant Politicians who approved the question arc both dishonest and deceitful because Canadians were not told that the Income Tax Act overrules both the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Con- stitution. Honest politicians would have the Constitution set up so that it overrules the Income Tax Act. The presigt situation allows the Minister of Revenue to hire and pay Revenue Canada employ- ees to inconvenience, abuse, de- fraud and sometimes torture the self-employed and the business person, even if they arc complete- ly innocent of any crime. The In- come Tax Act is never applied to politicians and civil servants be- cause all deduc- tion are made by government be- fore they are paid. Under the In- come Tax Act it is impossible for any- one to get a fair trial because the judge and Crown Prosecutor and Revenue Canada are all govern- ment employees whose wages the victim of Revenue Canada must pay. Income Tax victims usually must defend themselves in court because of high lawyers fees. My lawyers are unwilling to defend victims of Revenue Canada be- cause they are face harassment as a result. All Revenue Canada abuses are kept secret if at all possible. The media, too, can be harassed and silenced if Revenue Canada I abuses are made public. Revenue Canada often resorts to legalized racketeering by accusing innocent people of crimes. In order to save money, the taxpayer often agrees to pay money he does not owc. What Revenue Canada does with this money is also a secret. I've been told "it's not up for dis- cussion". Vote "NO" and force dishonest politicians to make the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the con- stitution overrule the Income Tax Act. Under the present laws, it al- lows the so-called "Minister" or Revenue to treat innocent taxpay- ers worse than pimps treat prosti- tutes. Does your elected politician approve of your being treated like his personal prostitute? I have evidence available to sub- stantiate these statements and could write much more if space permittdd..Under the present, sys- tem, equality does not exist D.D. Cranfield Saskatoon, Sask.

Al- though no one saw the theft, police arc looking for a small grey hatch - hack with rust spots, believed to be the suspect's vehicle. The Goderich Police Department has also report- ed similar thefts the same day in their arca. Thursday evening, the OPP charged an Exeter man with posses- sion of narcotics when the vehicle he was driving was stopped for a traffic offense. Police also say that sometime during the past two weeks an out - drive of a boat parked at Grand Bend Marine was stolen. It is de- scribed as a Mere Cruiser Alpha 1 outdrive. Thursday morning, a bicycle was found in the Huron Park area. Any- one who can identify their bicycle can contact the OPP. Vandals or souvenir hunters ap- pear to have stolen the street sign at the corner of Bismark and Centre Streets in Zurich and the OPP arc hoping someone with information about the theft, or the others above will contact them. Of five accidents investigated by the OPP in the past week, the most serious involved a vehicle that left Highway 83 and rolled over. Two people from London were treated for injuries at South Huron Hospi- tal. Hay zoning dispute may go to O M B EXETER - Town council will be taking their complaint with County Council over a property in Hay Township all the way to the Onta- rio Municipal Board if necessary. The Town of Exeter has objected to the rezoning that would sec high- way -commercial or general - commercial uses of lands and a building presently zoned for agri- cultural -commercial uses. Biddulph Township reeve Earl French said his council discussed the matter briefly and then tabled the ministry letter. "1 think it's a personal matter," said French, adding that council did not want to get involved. "There's been enough controversy." French agreed that the Ministry of the Environment had kept coun- cil informed that the landfill over- looking the Little Ausablc River on Concession 2-3 had been operated within guidelines, leading to coun- cil's support of the Lewis appeal to have it re -opened. But French said he also felt there was room for im- provement in the dump's operation too. Biddulph Township and Lucan are currently paying to have their garbage shipped to the Watford landfill site and French said it docs not appear likely the municipalities will have a landfill of their own any time soon. "It's the same old approach not in my back yard," said French. Pieter Nippa downplayed the re- sults of the ministry tests on his property's drainage, stating it was a minor problem that would be fixed this week if possible. "There's something wrong with our septic tank," said Nippa, claim- ing the leak into the drain is minor. He said he wasn't entirely con- vinced there was a problem until a dye test by the ministry en Thurs- day found some connection be- tween the septic system and the drainagc file around his house. "It's not connected to the septic tank," said Nippa, and said he has to conclude there arc some cracks in the 12 -year old septic pipe. "Thc Lewises want to discredit us...to make us look bad in this community" said Nippa, notink how soon the appeal will be coin- ing to court. "Mr. Lewis is the last person in Middlesex County to point a fin- ger," said Nippa. "We arc environ- mentalists, so maybe it's a good thing that this came out."
