It might seem strange that the Ontario Funeral Service Association should he spon soring a column with 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 when we con- sider the fact that out of 60,00( 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 financiall} oriented and were received from one area. 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 he 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 a ill need to establish their confidence and good will. It is not uncommon for people lo stop by and ask to meet a funeral director and in- spect his premises and ask questions about his service and his philosophy.

The firm'submitted a price of $32,956, which was the lowest of six received. The highest of the bids for the machine, which includes extend -a -hoe features, was $41,797.43. The tenders were opened at a meeting of the public works committee and their recom- mendation was approved by council, Monday. The committee also dealt with several complaints from residents regarding problems the latter were experiencing with neighboring properties. A delegation of Wally Tomasik, Chris Turner, I. Guenther and Pam DeJonge appeared to state their com- plaint about the constant weed and tall grass problem on the vacant parkland of the Hearing School Continued from front page asking the education minister to meet in September with some of the parents. "It all boils down to money - the government wants to cut costs and it seems handicap- ped benefits (and rights) are always the first to go. We believe that the child's well- being and right to a family life are far more valuable than dollars and cents" Mrs. Taylor said in a letter releas- ed to the news media. The letter urges those wishing to help - parents, students, relatives, friends, neighbours, concerned citizens, graduates and their families, service group members, churches and their members - to write to Bette Stephenson with copies to their MPP, the Robarts School and the parents' group, expressing their op- position to the government's proposal. Mrs. Taylor advises letter -writers to ask questions needing a reply, explaining "if you don't hear anything within two weeks write again. Even if you do not get a rep- ly, try picking another ques- tion and write again. The more letters the better." Marlene won't be writing letters this week. Her hands will be busy elsewhere. She, Chad and younger son Danny, 7, are attending a week-long sign language immersion course for deaf children -and their families. No one will he allowed any verbal com- munication for the duration of the course. She will return home with a heightened awareness of what a hearing- impaired child must cope with, and a strengthened determination to work to keep the secondary program in London. Riverview Estates Mobile Home Park. They also noted that the PUC electrial boxes in the area are in a state of bad repair. The delegation expressed concern that they only get ac- tion after writing or com- plaining to council each year and feel that the property owners involved should main- tain their property more fre- quently without complaints. The committee agreed with a motion to have Mayor Bruce Shaw write the proper- ty owners concerned, pointing out the possible penalties under the various bylaws, such as the Weed Control Act and the Property Standards Bylaw. Concern over the constant gravel and dust problem evolving from the apartments at 176 Sanders St. E. was also raised by a neighboring pro- perty owner. The committee agreed to write the apartment owner regarding the situation and Also to advise the owner of apartments at 304 Andrew St. S. about similar concerns. Gerald Walker of the Cana- dian Tire Store appeared before the committee to note his concern about the high curb that is creating pro- blems for cars leaving the CTC parking lot to enter Main St. It was indicated some vehicles have suffered damage to exhaust systems while attempting to turn south onto Main. The committee asked works superintendent Glenn Kells to install signs in- dicating "no left turn" at both exits onto Main St. It was felt this would help alleviate the problem spoken to by Walker as well as a con- cern that left turns onto Main St. so close to the stop lights at Huron was a traffic hazard. At Monday night's council debate on the matter, Reeve Bill Mickle asked whether the solution suggested by the committee was agreeable with Walker. Committee chairman Tom Humphreys said that the store owner was satisfied with the proposed changes and had been told other alternatives would be considered if the plan did not achieve the an- ticipated results. Deputy -Reeve Lossy Fuller noted it would be an expen- sive proposition to change the curb cuts and Humphreys said it would be about $1,500. The debate about weeds on properties also prompted members of council to note there were some other pro- blem areas in the communi- ty, especially along boulevards and even on the Main St. sidewalks. Councillor Bill Rose wondered if the town should consider hiring a student next summer to handle the situation. Lloyd Lovell, 188 Sanders St., advised the committee that the curb on the north-east CROPS DAY TODAY — A float publicizing today's Crops Update Day at Centralia College was in Saturday's Crediton Summerfest parade. T -A photo Home request A request by Lorne and Jean Keller to erect a new home on industrial property they own on Highway 83 East has been turned over to the Exeter planning advisory committee. Building inspector Brian Johnston advised the couple that he could not issue a building permit in view of the present zoning on the proper- ty and the Kellers appealed that decision to council. The home is planned on the site of the former Gregson house which burned down in 1979. Commercial study Continued from front page preferred their location to the downtown core. Customers interviewed while shopping at the nor- thend mall included 73 females. Sixty-eight percent said they preferred shopping in the mall and 18 percent said downtown. The other 14 had no preference. The reasons for shopping in the mall consisted primarily (53 percent) due to parking. At the conclusion of the report, the summer student listed basic improvements for a majority of stores in Exeter, from total renovations to a general clean-up. The report will now be studied by the planning ad- visory committee as part of their review and evaluation of the Official Plan and zoning bylaws and will subsequently be sent to council with recommendations.

It was decided to write Lovell and advise that the curb problem would be con- sidered when dealing with sidewalk and wheel chair ramp budget next spring. The committee recom- mended to council that they enter into a 20 -year lease with Gerry Sararas, 105 William St. N., for the town owned river flats adjoining his pro- perty. Sararas would pay an annual fee of $1.00, plus any legal costs involved in the matter.
