Letters to the editor
Terry Fox Run well organized
Dear Editor:
1 would like to compliment the
organizer and the Times -Advocate
for the successful Terry Fox Run.
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

viduals for caring.
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

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

daylight
robbery
EXETER - Saturday, during busi-
ness hours, a business near Si Jo-
seph had cash stolen from the cash
register, report the Exeter OPP. 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."
