aim to put will put Exeter shoppers
in the yule -tide spirit this holiday
season.
The Exeter Business Association
will support a carol sing organized
by the Ausable District Girl Guides
and the Exeter Scouting Move-
ment, scheduled to take place on
Dec. 13.
Kim Bilcke, Cathey Ford and
Kim Dawe attended an EBA meet-
ing recently to propose the idea to
members, asking for their assis-
tance in advertising the service
project.
"We want to let people know
we'll be visiting your stores," said
Bilcke adding she hopes it will
help create a "christmas spirit" for
consumers out shopping that Fri-
day night.
An estimated 50 scouts and
guides will sing Christmas carols
in front of local businesses be-
tween 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Although
the guides often visit places such
as the South Huron Hospital and
the Exeter Villa to sing, this will
be the first time the two organiza-
tions join together for a town -wide
carol sing.
Youngsters who are not involved
with Guides or Scouts are welcome
to participate and interested par-
ents are encouraged to volunteer.
"It's open to anyone who likes to
sing," said Bilcke.
The carol sing will be held in
conjunction with a food -drive also
organized by the scouts and •
guides. The Exeter Volunteer Fire
Department will help the young-
sters collect food donations from
residents that same day.

The importance of giving blood
ILDERTON - A blood donor
clinic is scheduled to be held at
the Ilderton Community Centre
on Thursday December 19 be-
tween 5 and 8:30 p.m.
A release from the Canadian
Red cross explains the impor-
tance of giving blood.
"Will I make a difference?"
People in each community ask
themselves this question when it
comes time to donate at the local
Blood Donor Clinic.
It is vital that we collect the re-
quired number of units of blood
at each clinic (approximately
1100 a week) in order to supply
our 32 hospitals in the Southwest-
ern Ontario area and to prevent
cancellation of surgeries due to
blood shortages. If we don't, lives
could be lost.
Very recently, the Red Cross
experienced a blood shortage as a
result of low collections and the
fact that the many transplant sur-
geries required a tremendous
amount of blood due to complica-
tions.
Did you know?
- a liver transplant may require
20 units/red cells, 20 units/plasma
and 10 units/platelets
- an accident victim may re-
quire as many as three body re-
placements of blood within 24
hours (15 litres)
- cancer patients required blood
and blood products on a daily ba-
sis.
- every seven seconds someone
in Southwestern Ontario requires
a blood transfusion
- less than five per cent of Ca-
nadians donate blood
- one unit of blood has the po-
tential of saving four lives!
Perhaps these statistics will
help you realize what a differ-
ence you will make when you do-
nate blood.
Please remember when you
give blood you give another hug,
another chance.
Help bring someone home for
the holidays....
Please donate blood.

resists move
to megacity
EXETER - Amalgamation
talks have not been confined to
only rural Ontario. Council
learned the six mayors of Great-
er Toronto have been told to
unite to form one municipal
Unit. The mayors, in a letter to
all municipalities of the prov-
ince, repeat the same refrain
heard throughout this communi-
P.
"We have also informed the
ilrovincial government that
changes to local government
structures are best accomplished
through local decision-making
and after consultation with our
citizens.... It is our view that any
attempt by the provincial gov-
ernment to force the amalgama-
tion of the Metropolitan Toron-
to municipalities into one
megacity would pose a serious
*treat to the heritage of local
vernment in Ontario".
Amalgamation ends;
restructuring continues
EXETER - At Monday night's meeting Exeter Council approved a letter
be written the Minister of Municipal Affairs, advising Exeter "..will con-
tinue to stream -line our operations". Council also agreed the other ave-
nues required to reduce costs will be explored. Council had previously ap-
proved a reduced number of councillors, sharing services and the
possibility of annexation.
A "wrap-up" meeting of the area municipalities has been scheduled for
November 20 in Crediton. The Exeter delegates have been instructed to
talk only about the termination of talks and not about future scenarios.
