NOTICE $100.00 Reward Recently vandals have opened fire hydrants within the limits of the Town of Exeter. This is extremely serious and could result in the loss of life and con- siderable property damage in the event of a fire occurring during a low water pressure period. In order to deter future tampering with fire hydrants, the Public Utilities Com- mission is offering a $100.00 reward for. the arrest and conviction of any unauthorized person caught opening or tampering with a local fire hydrant. The maximum penalty for this offence is a term of one month imprisonment or a fine up to $300.00. Please report any information to the Ex- eter Police Department at 235-1235. Exeter Public Utilities Commission H.L. Davis, Manager What Every Family Should Know ONTARIO FUNERAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION "Caveat Emptor" This latin statement which has become such a familiar warning in our english ver- nacular, loosely translated. means "let the. buyer beware•'. It is why we have a Bet- ter Business Bureau which is able to certify ethical business and service enterprises and to give advice to consumers who call. Ponder their slogan "in- vestigate before you invest." It is why we have groups like the Canadian Consumer who are in a non -biased posi- tion to he able to test- to make recommendations and offer advice about goods and merchandise. These groups arm the public with what should he needed to help make a sound decision about a major ap- pliance purchase. about medicine. about food stuffs and services which affect our way of life. It night seem strange that the Ontario Funeral Ser ice Association should he spon- soring it column w ith a headline warning to let the buyer beware for maybe there could he the inference that the public needs '`protection" from the funeral director. We don't think such is the case. especially where we con- sider the tact that out ot 60,0(X) funerals which were conducted in Ontario in the year 1983 the Ontario Board of Funeral Services received only 15 complaints and of these 11 were financially oriented and were received from one arca In our smaller com- munities the funeral director Is perhaps a long standing citizen of his community. Perhaps he is the second or third genera- tion to provide this special ser- vice to his townsfolk. He is (or should he) a member of a local church community and should stand out as a person of strong moral character. There may not be the closeness of contact in the larger urban communities and chances are the funeral direc- tor of choice will practice from a neighbourhood home. In any event, the funeral director is there to provide a service in accordance with long tradition and accepted practice. His first concern is to the families he will serve and if he is to he able to serve them he will need to establish their confidence and good will. It is not uncommon for people to stop by and ask to meet a funeral director and in- spect his premises and ask questions about his service and his philosophy. 11 is one way to heed the "investigate before you in- sesC• admonition of the Bet- ter Business Bureaus. A funeral with accompanying cemetery. newspaper. floral, cremation charges does repre- sent an expense. The more you and your family know and understand about this expense. and the value of sank, the better you will he in a position to make wise judgements.

It was interesting to see thefish ladders, etc. and find out how they arrived at the name Hell's Gate.

Idaho City was in- teresting to see, as it has some similarities to Dawson City in that it is being retain- ed as a historical reminder of gold rush days. The salt mining at Salt Lake City was interesting, but the stockyards in Omaha, Nebraska were a disappoint- ment - they only sell cattle there on Fridays, and much of it is no longer used and is deteriorating. Most cattle are apparently ,gold at smaller sale barns iA the surrounding area now. The Arnana Colony villages in Iowa north of Highway 80 proved very interesting. There are seven or eight villages in a small area each specializing in one product. One has wineries, another produces cheese, another electrical appliances, smoked meats, baked goods, woollens, clocks and other high quality furniture, etc. The people are of German descent, andalso farm 35,000 acres.
