The Exeter Minor Hockey Association held a duck race on Saturday but the 1,100 ducks
almost got away when they escaped the buoy used to coral them down the river. However,
quick action by organizers saved the day. The event was a fundraiser for Exeter Minor Hock-
ey.
Many hours of service
"...it was comforting to know that.
Jane was at school doing what
we would have done had we been
able to be there."
Dear Editor:
• Next week the Exeter Public School Parents Asso-
ciation will elect a new president. Asa parent with
children at that school; I would be amiss if I did not
thank President Jane Hefley for her dedication and
hard work for the, association. For thelast seven to
eight•years, Jane has worked tirelessly and unself-
ishly on the behalf of all of our kids, volunteering
dozens of hours each month at Exeter Public School
in her capacity as President. She represented the in-
terests of kids and parents but she had a wonderfully
easy and respectful way of doing so. Jane has done a
great deal for reinforcing,the idea that the education
of our children is an exercise in partnership between
the home and school. I believe I represent many
working parents when I say that it was comforting,
to know that Jane was at school doing what we .
would have done had we been able to be there.
When someone comes forward from among us to
provide the kind of excellent community service
Jane has done, we ought to say thanks. Thanks, Jane
Hefley! .'•

Dear. Editor:
Last week your paper printed an article on the
front page of your paper. It said "Concerned towns
folk ask for pit bull ban." This concerns my family.
and I because we own the only registered pit hull in
town, as town hall knows. ' •
He (Grunt) is a happy, anxious friendly dog. In
London, children fed him licorice over our fence.
He's the type of dog that just wants your attention.
If there is only one pit bull in town, why set an ex-
ample of him when he has never caused anybody
harm. If owls. birds. lions and tigers can be human
imprinted, why can't big dogs? Pit hulls may have a
history of fighting dogs. But wasn't that the owner's
choice. not the dogs?.They say if you love an ani-
mal. it will love you hack. But if you tease it• you
will only make it mail. But isn't that the same with
us.
, There is no reason to place a ban 60 Our dog. He
mean's nobody harm. Please don't harin him.

- Yours sincerely.

Not the timefor an election
"Outside of the P. M. 's, ambitions
-there is no valid reason."
Dear Editor:
So, we are to have an unyvanted; unnecessary[ ex-
pensive federal election to satisfy the ego of our '
prime minister!
Obviously he is insensitive to the suffering in
Manitoba; regardless of what he says. Perhaps he is
in fora big shock if Canadian citizenwake up'and
vote him out of power'? After all, he has 111/2 years
to go in his mandate, .so why an election now'? Out-
side of the P.M.'s ambition, there is no valid reason. -
As for our total area, we are represented by the
gun lobby., not a real M.P. I wonder if he'is allowed
in caucus; fora long time he wasn't. He can he as -
"independent" as he claims. we need somebody who
speaks for all the people. This is really a silly. elec.:-
tion!
