Dear Editor: As a resident of Exeter, I am deeply disturbed about the high cost of gasoline in Exeter, when we This week's prices in Lucan and London. ThL THF, 7V MA can purchase it as low as 48.9 in London and 49.9 in Lucan. In Exeter we have to pay 55.3. We have checked prices in Fullar- ton, Corbett, Denfield to name a few who are lower, then there's Exeter who seems to be a leader of high priced gasoline. For a 16 gal. tank this represents an extra cost of between five and six dollars. Dated pictures have been taken showing the prices on the pumps in London and Lucan in comparison to Exeter. It would be appreciated if someone could explain to all your customers here in Exeter the reason for this exorbitant price difference. This week's price in Exeter. More pumpkins stolen It's pretty sad when someone steals a little girl's pumpkins... Dear Editor: I had heard from a neighbor that pumpkins had been stolen from around the area. Ours were still sitting on our front step, so I didn't worry about it. Saturday, 1 looked outside and noticed only one pumpkin, five were gone. Why they left one pump- Biddulph Council reviews need for resources officer BIDDULPH TOWNSHIP - Councillor Jim Shipley asked Bid- dulph Township Council at last Monday's regular meeting about the necessity of hiring a human re- sources officer in this time of re- straint. Reeve Earl French explained this officer would be responsible for health and safety in addition to the other regular duties. It was also reported council is in- vited to the county office on Oct. 26 to hear the report of the focus group on the amalgamation pro- posals. A delegation from the Ontario Clean Water Association attended the council meeting to discuss the Granton water system. Bruce Bot - land from OCWA outlined the new proposal for funding operations similar to Granton. They are will- ing to restructure the capital portion of the operation to a separate ac- count. Presently the Township owes approximately $28,000 an this is financed at 9.75 per cent for another 22 years. OCWA proposes to offer a fixed price for a three to five year term for general operations with some parameters on major repairs. This price does not include the grant in lieu for taxes. Borland will have the agreement in the hands of the council for their consideration within two weeks. Hc will require a decision from council by Nov. 15 to be able to have the necessary work completed in time to have this new deal ef- fective January 1. If the township opts to continue with the present agreement, there will be an addition 5.1 per cent levy for the coming year. Council agreed to meet on Nov. 7 to discuss the OCWA proposal. In further council business, Gary Orchard reported on the pump breakdown. The approximate cost incurred for this break was $9,000. The standby well carried the major- ity of the village after it was pumped for some time to freshen the water. The Township of Biddulph Coun- cil accepted with regret the resigna- tion from Gary Barker as a Granton Trustee. Hunter-Buvar Auto Body 284.2888 St. Marys Cliff Grasdahl kin, I will never understand. I suppose they were be- ing kind leaving us one. We grew the pumpkins for our three year old daughter. Now we have to explain that someone took them. I think its pretty sad when someone steals a little girl's pumpkins. I realize no one is getting hurt and our property isn't damaged but stealing is against the law. 1 hope that whoever is doing this realizes it is wrong.

The Ministry of Natural Resources will be trying to recover the full cots of growing seedlings and this will in- crease the price from the current 10 cents per seedling to 19 cents. "As well, the Ministry tree nur- series in Kemptville and Orono will be closed, resulting in fewer seedlings being available for land- owners," said Harburn. The ABCA has tree delivery and planting services for landowners. "There arc still many seedlings and larger stock trees available for the spring. These trees are sold on a first-come, first served basis with a January 15 ordering deadline. Anyone ordering after January 15 must pay up -front and we cannot guarantee their order can he filled," Harburn said. 'In the Planting Assistance Pro- gram, 50 per cent grant are still available for landowners who want us to plant the trees for them," ex- plained Ual'burn. If landowners would like to plant the trees them- selves, the ABCA has two ma- chine planters for rent. Nannyherry and larch are two new seedling species for 1996. Nannybery grows on wet sites, is a good wildlife shrub with high numbers of berries, and grows about 15 feet tall. Larch is also available. It's fast-growing, easy to transplant and the timber is used universally. For over 40 years, the ABCA and MNR have worked with landown- ers to reforest our communities. Al- though millions of trees have been planted thus far, many river valleys and erosion -prone soils still need to be protected with tree cover. Nineteen -ninety-six might be the hest year for everyone to add some trees to their land. teeter AUTOMOTIVE COLLECTIBLES -Also- • General Interest Collectibles • Used Housewares • Flea Market Items • Embossed Tin Advertising Signs and Thermometers • Hub caps. etc. MAIL ORDERS WELCOMED - SEND S.A.S.E.
