Tours of town planned Exeter ratepayers will soon have a unique opportunity to see how some of their tax dollars have been spent. As part of "local govern- ment week" a tour will be conducted of most town - owned buildings and parks on Wednesday, January 16. Shuttle bus tours running every two hours will take in- terested citizens to the various facilities -- even the town dump in Hay swamp. Other points of interest on the tour will include visits to the library, police station, fire hall, rec centre, public and high schools, community park, water tower, public works department, Mac - Naughton park. cemetery, sewage lagoons. Victoria Park, hospital and the town's and PUC adminsitration offices. Each of the town depart- ments will be staging open houses when the facilities will be open for inspection. In addition. a video presen- tation will be compiled on each of the facilities and departments, and this will be shown at the conclusion of the bus tour. The program is -being ar- ranged by a committee chaired by clerk Liz Bell. Other members involved in- clude Glenn Kells, Gary Mid- dleton. Cam Stewardson, Lynne Farquhar. Helen Hodgins, Lossy Fuller, Brian Johnston, Hugh Davis, Jim Chapman. Harry Knip, Kevin Short and Laurie Dykstra. Schools will be encouraged to have at least grades seven and eight students take the tour, which will include some fire prevention movies at the fire hall. program informa- tion material at the rec cen- tre and a special book display on local government at the library. Other suggestions still be- ing considered include stag- ing a council meeting in the high school gym for students and citizens to observe, On- tario Home Renewal ' OHRP information session. dress -up skating carnival and a P.R.I.D.E. information session. Contact will also be made with the local cable TV com- pany to ascertain whether a council session could be broadcast over the local channel. Members of council praised the committee for their work when the initial planning report was presented, Monday. Councillor Dorothy Chap- man suggested the group pur- sue the possibility of the SHDHS students staging their own council meeting, ad- dressing some of the issues which have crossed the Ex- eter council table in the past few weeks. She said that such an ap- proach would probably be more exciting for the students and more educational than listening to council. "Would we be invited so we could learn something?" Councillor Ben Hoogenboom mused.

Scott and McNair were charged July 20 after they ran turtle races with parimutuel betting during the Aisla Craig Gala Days. Defence lawyers Norman Peel and Ted McGrath argued that the onus was �4ct: s1m Ars lien Aia.pza aas sYia p,Cf crag Santa's Saturday's Santa Claus parade was again a terrific success. Sponsored by the Exeter Lions with. assistance from the Exeter BIA, the parade attracted a large number of entries. Three parade prizes were awarded. The winners were the South London Lions.

Hundreds of area youngsters followed Santa Claus to the South Huron Rec Centre and enjoyed a few seconds on the lap of the jolly strictly on the crown attorney to prove that the races were a game of chance and that the crown had failed to do so. The judge agreed. The pair had been charged by the Ontario Provincial Police with selling or offering to sell tickets for disposing of money on the turtle races. Peel quoted a decision from the Saskatchewan court of ap- peals which said one must distribute prizes in goods, wares or merchandise. "In this case, the prize was money."

Parade convener Clarence McDowell said he was pleas- ed with the good turnout of floats and pard i�gants. witnesses. However, one was in reserve should he have been needed. The man was Bob Johnson, curator of the amphibian and reptile section of the Metro Toronto Zoo. In an interview ouside the cour- .room, Johnson said he was ready to prove that there was definitely a skill to choosing and racing turtles. OPP Constables James Briggs and Glen Holland testified they attended the gala days and bet ton the turtles. Holland said he arriv- ed at about 10:20 p.m. and saw between 30 and 50 people around the "race track." He said he lost $4. Briggs said he had to wait in line and bet on three races. He told the court he lost on all three. Tickets on the turtles sold for $2, he said. Peel, pounding the skill fac- tor in the races, asked Briggs if he had studied the turtles on which he bet. "Did you look your turtles in the eye? Did you study them to see if they were ac- tive or passive? Did you judge their weight?" he prodded. Briggs said he had not and just picked the turtles at random. Briggs also agreed with Peel that it was a peaceful, orderly crowd - "good people in a good meeting, an order- ly community gathering." in Ethiopia. Langford is getting.

It was successful enough that it could be a blueprint for other regional sales across O tario, the secretary of the fl gling Middlesex Cat- tle en's Beef Improvement Club said Thursday. "We were very pleased. You never know how it will go when you set out on something like this. The place was packed and we had 315 calves sold," said Sandy For- sythe of Komoka. The idea was conceived as part of the new provincial Red Meat Plan and was aim- ed at cutting shipping costs for area feedlot operators who usually are forced to ship in calves for fattening from Eastern Ontario or Western Canada. The sale was Nov. 22. "Prices average $96.52 per hundredweight for steers and the average weight was 543 pounds. Things were hot. that's a very good price. Price per hundredweight for heifers was $87.30 and they averaged about 500 pounds." Forsythe said. To assist other areas in set- ting up similar consignment sales, Forsythe sent out a run- down on just how the Mid- dlesex group conducted its sale to Red meat Plan ad- visers in other counties. "Basically we told them: 'We had a sale and did really well, and you could do the same thing,' " Forsythe said. Because of the short notice, there weren't too many pre- conditioned calves available, but those that were com- manded the best prices, she said. She expects next year more pre -conditioned calves will be available because cow - calf operators will have more time to prepare their animals. To qualify as pre- conditioned calves, among other requirements, the animals have to be weaned six weeks prior to the sale, castrated, de -horned, medicated against various diseases and trained to feed from troughs, 'Forsythe said.
