This year I was privileged to be in attendance at the service held at Exeter Public School. As a World Wat II veteran I was impressed by the knowledge that the principal and teachers of Exeter Public School have passed on to the children. The program put on by the young students made a great impression on me, and I realized "all was not in vain." When Mr. Chapman opened the floor to a question period, I was very surprised at the questions asked by the young people. They were questions you would expect from an adult audience. I feel that holding a Remembrance Service in the school with a member or members of the Royal Cana- dian Legion in attendance is the answer to ou" young peo- ple who can ask questions and get answers, on a one to one basis. In closing I would like to thank Mrs. Perry and her choir, whose music set the mood for the service, and to the young students who bak- ed the very delicious muffins that my fellow comrades and I enjoyed, and to the principal and teachers of Exeter Public School for a Remembrance Day November 11, 1983 that I will never forget.

Dear Sir: I am searching for informa- tion concerning my great un- cle, Robert Weeks, 1855-1921). He came from Devon, England to Ontario in 1881, and is believed to have farmed in the Exeter area. Anyone with any informa- tion, please write, Mrs. Elizabeth Lancaster, 67 Salem Grove, London N6K 1T9, your help would be much appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, (Mrs.) Elizabeth Lancaster ¥ ¥ ¥ Dear Sir, Following the overwhelm- ing reception given to us by Don and Betty Oke during our recent visit to Hensel(, On- tario, and the subsequent visit by Irene Davis to Hensall England, I think it would be of great advantage to both our communities 10 have some kind of regular contact, especially as Hensel( Ontario is due to have its Centenary Celebrations next year. Already there are plans to start our school children cor- responding with each other across the Atlantic - so if any of the older members of your village would be interested in reviving old pen pals, starting new ones, or even considering a visit to us, I shall be more than pleased to offer my assistance in finding old friends and extremely proud to show them our Yorkshire Heritage and hospitality. Hoping for a favourable response. Sincerely, Mrs. Geraldine S. Pickerill ¥ ¥ Dear Sir: The Komoka Railway Museum Inc., a non-profit organization for the preserva- tion of the Komoka Railway Station, (built in 1873) is holding a fund raising Hobby and Craft Show on Sunday November 27, 1983 at the Komoka and District Com- munity Centre. All funds raised Will be us- ed for repairs and maintenance of the station which has been relocated to its present location next to the Community Centre on Queen Street in Komoka. The intended future use of the station is to provide a per- manent home for our many donated Railway artifacts. Any publicity given to this worthwhile cause will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in anticipa- tion of your co-operation. Yours truly, Kevin Devine Chairman Tel: 471-9378 ¥ ¥ ¥ Dear Sir: Your newspaper of Nov. 9th., indicated that at the last meeting of the Grand Bend council, Morgan Freele, "declined to keep parliamen- tary procedure". Your paper was most kind in regarding this episode for I was ex- tremely rude in shouting con- tradictions at Reeve Sharen, as your paper mentioned "from the floor". I am ashamed for making these outbursts at Council and apologize to the councillors and clerk for disturbing the decorum of their meeting. As for Reeve Sharen ---no apology. I suppose that in all our minds, we all attempt to ra- tionalize our activities, especially if these tend to be negative, but would ap- preciate the space to attempt to make some rebuttal to statements made both in your paper and at the last Council meetino The Grand Bend Property Lover's Association, at their last meeting, asked that a let- ter be forwarded to the Grand Bend Council asking for the reasons why Wonder Grove , Cabins should be given an ex- tension to an already extend- ed deadline. I refer to the fact, that Grand Bend citizens have been aware for approx- imately five years that sewer hook ups were a reality which they would all have to face and complete by Dec. 1982. This deadline was extended by Council to Nov. 1st, 1983. The vast majori'y of citizen. completed their cbligations by the initial deadline of Dec. 1982, yet eight months after this initial deadline Wonder Grove Cabins approached Council requesting further relief. I hope that most of us can ac- cept the fact that there will always be valid reasons for exceptions to limits, deadlines or rules, but eight months after the fact? We should add that this is not one but a number of sewer hook ups. There is no criticism of the owner of this property for I myself and pro- bably many other citizens of Grand Bend would enjoy ob- taining an extension until 1986. Your paper indicated that the P.L.A. was placed on the agenda as a delegation but declined to be a delegation. Your reporter did not indicate that there had been no re- quest by the P.L.A. to beplac- ed on the agends, apparently this was the brain child of Reeve Sharen. Having no need to approach Council, we naturally declined, but must admit we declined what we felt could be a possible at- tempt at entrapment. This did not stop Reeve Sharen from using or abusing his position as chairman to bring the minutes of the P.L.A. before the public. (These minutes, out of ' couresty, are regularly for- warded to thggAi�tting Reeve. for his intonation). Reeve Sharen, using these minutes did an effective job on discrediting the P.L.A., an ef- fective job of character assassination on both the P.L.A., terming them ir- responsible, and on two members who were not pre- sent to defend statements which they had made at the last P.L.A. meeting. In the latter case. it was the veracity of the two members which Reeve Sharen questioned. I cannot speak for these persons but am sure they will be heard from. I asked Reeve Sharen why he had not con- tacted the Secretary of the P.L.A. regarding any items in the minutes to which he took exception. No comment from Reeve Sharen. The article in this paper stated that these last minutes of the P.L.A. criticized Coun- cil for not being concerned with pollution. No criticism was made in these minutes and these same minutes are available to any Grand Bend ol- area citizen by contacting me. As 1 stated originally.
