Dear Editor:
The Heritage Days Beef

over $1,500 again this year

On behalf of the dinner
committee we would like to
take this opportunity to say a
sincere thank you to the dif-
ferent groups and organiza-
tions who gave their time to
help with this project - name-
ly the Presbyterian Church

nounce the completion of renovations

To Jim and Jeff Darling for
their time carving the beef
which was so delicious. Also
an extra special "Thank you"
to Len Veri who donated the
fresh cauliflower, cabbage
and 10 bushel of new potatoes
and saved us many a dollar
again this year. Without this
our profit sure wouldn't be
looking so good.
Remember this is a "Com-
munity Effort" and it sure
would be appreciated if more
people of Exeter and area
would get involved and give a
few hours of their time freely
to these projects. Just
because this group of 16 peo-
ple formed the "Heritage
Days Committee" it didn't
mean they were to do all the
• work, just the planning.
We as individuals on this
committee have families,
commitments and other
things to keep us busy also
and things we would like to
do.
Unless you all start to pull
together and put forth an ef-
fort another worthwhile pro-
ject is going to go down the
drain. Offer your time - don't
leave it all to 16.

Pinery reservation ca//s ending up in California
Somewhere in that vast ter-
ritory called California is a
person who has learned quite
a bit about Pinery Provincial
Park over the past few weeks.
The most significant thing
that this individual or family
has discovered is that
Pinery's telephone number is
identical to theirs - except for
the area code.
The rather embarrassing
problem came to light recent-
ly upon publication of the
ministry of natural resources'
new "Reservations, Rates
and Dates" brochure.
In it, Pinery's phone
number is listed with area
code 619 instead of the correct
519. Consequently, many peo-
ple, thinking that they have
been calling Pinery, have in-
stead been connected to an
unsuspecting telephone
subscriber in Victorville,
California.
The recent newsletter
"Neath the Pines" also ad-
vises that washers and dryers
have been installed in
selected comfort stations in
each campground. They are
in response to many requests
made by campers over the
last few years and are owned
and serviced by a private
company.
Because the Pinery hot
water system cannot meet the
demand, the washers are on-
ly hooked up to provide a cold
water wash.
Visitors to the park will also
note that burlap bags have
been wrapped around some
trees this year. The explana-
Last member

Bob Russell has been nam-
ed to fill the final position on
Exeter's new planning ad-
visory committee. His ap-
pointment was announced by
Mayor Shaw, Monday.
The committee will under-
take some of the work of the
former planning hoard, com-
mittee of adjustment and pro-
perty standards committee
under the new planning act
which came into effect on
August 1. The committee is in
an advisory capacity only
with council now having to
make all decisions regarding
planning matters.
Russell is a former
member of the committee of
adjustment.

The bags are trapping
devices which have been
erected to ensnare larvae of
the gypsy moth. In Pinery,
we're keep* a lookout this
year for this insect, which has
become highly destructive to
North American forests.
The gypsy moth was in-
troduced to the United States
from Europe in 1869. Since
that time, it has spread
throughout much of the nor-
theastern United States as
well as into the Maritime pro-
vinces, Quebec, and parts of
Ontario. It is a voracious
eater of tree egetation, and
all throughout its primary
range it has inflicted serious
damage on our forests.
The larvae are furry cater-
pillars which feed on the
leaves of both deciduous
(leaved) and coniferous
(needled) trees. Oak, poplar
and birch are among its
favourite.
In winter, the insect sur-
vives in an egg stage. Egg
clusters can be found in rock
or old log piles or on the
undersurface of outdoor
equipment such as trailers
and motorized homes. It is
Water not
in jeopardy
The July meeting of the Ex-
eter PUC was one of the
shortest on record. Minutes
and accounts were approved
in a fast 15 minutes. No
technical questions could be
asked, as PUC manager
Hugh Davis is on vacation.
Chairman Murray Gf eene
assures Exeter residents that
as far as the town's water
supply is concerned, "all
wells are pumping, we are
holding . our own and
everything will be fine as long
as people don't abuse their
use of water".
Mayor Bruce Shaw asked
secretary Marilyn Sillery to
make sure a light was install-
ed outside the park washroom
for the convenience of sum-
mer campers.
The commission decided to
invest $10,000 coming due
soon with Victoria and Grey
for one year at 81 percent.
(Last year the $10,000 was the
beneficiary of prevailing high
interest rates, and received 16
percent interest.)
The next meeting will be
August 31 at 9 a.m.
Pentecostal
ladies meet
The July meeting of the
Women's Ministries of the
Pentecostal Tabernacle was
held at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Milford Prouty with 12
members present.
The meeting was opened by
singing the hymns "Sunlight,
Sunlight" and "Sunlight in
my Soul," with Mrs. idena
DesJardine at the organ.
Prayer was offered by Mrs.
.Marie Hamilton.
The roll call was answered
with a verse of Scripture con-
taining the word "Sun".: he
minutes of the last meeting
were read and adopted. These
minutes were read by Mrs.
Shirley Prouty.
The financial report was
read by Mrs. Edith Millar and
Mrs. Millar read a Mis-
sionary item entitled, "All my
Gods were Stolen." The story
being told by a Rrahinin Monk
and how he was led to accept
Christ.
Mrs. Jean Triebner read a
poem and then sang the
hymn, "Sunrise tomorrow."
The message of the after-
noon was given by Mrs.
Estrella Finkbeiner entitled,
"When men will marvel".
Members had prayer time
after which a delicious lunch
was served by Mrs. Ella Tin-
ney and Mrs. Ada Triebner,
assisted by the hostess.

their adaptability to the latter
that makes the insect a rather
caravan loving "gypsy"
creature. An unsuspecting
camper may well be trucking
egg clusters from one part of
the continent to another,
thereby helping the insect to
establish itself in new areas.
The eggs hatch in the spring
and small larvae of the gyp-
sy moth soon crawl up into the
trees and begin to feed on the
leaves. As the larvae age,
they feed mainly at night.
When not feeding, they tend to
amass in the niches of bark or
in ground litter. Their habit of
crawling up and down tree
trunks is the reason why the
burlap sections are wrapped
around trees at about
shoulder height. It's the best
way to capture some of the
larvae.
Actually, while we're work-
ing on this project this sum-
mer in co-operation with En-
vironment Canada, we'll be
just as pleased if we don't
even see any gypsy moths!
It's a pest that our
southwestern Ontario forests
don't need. Gypsy moths have
not been previously recorded
in Pinery, but in 1982, egg
clusters were found in Lon-
don, Ontario, a one hour drive

Because of the potential
damage that gypsy moths can
inflict on our tree resources,
the ministry of natural
resources is anxious that the
spread of this insect be
minimized. Park visitors
might check their campers
and outdoor equipment for
egg clusters! A colourful
leaflet on the life history of the
gypsy moth is available at the
display and information cen-
tre in case you would like to
