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 Announcement Beverly McGregor is pleased to an- nounce the completion of renovations to her professional building at 17 Sanders St. East The building will officially open on .

Superior, WG Thompson Ltd., Tuckey Beverages, Darlings IGA, Cheese Please, Zehrs, and the Rutabaga Board. 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. Lois Armstrong Heritage Days Committee 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 is appointed 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. ;;kr, • 4L /i+,�.

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. ?Uec/chncJ 1 ocue ri Yew don't 1),t ,iny rulurc I(rr th(' s<l1Is1,1( 11(11) 1)1 knowing thee\ '11 1)r' /)r('l),lrv(I 11 /ill the ( ire MO comer!) 1(,r detail lh11t has built our rcy)trl,tl r(ut.

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.

When asked about the list of equipment available in the sale, works superintendent Glenn Kells said most of it ap- peared to be "of the same vin- tage as the equipment we have now." "We don't have a blacksmith forge," councillor Don MacGregor said in noting one of the items listed in the auction. "We don't have a blacksmith either," Kells re lied.

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!
