Four Exeter ladies at-
tacked Exeter council
members recently regarding
their action over removing
furniture from the town hall.
Appearing only as tax-
payers, the group's
spokesman was Jennie
Huntley, reported the Exeter
Times -Advocate.
She said that the' council
table and chairs -and even the
aTh trays -had been removed
• from the former council
chambers without the
Heritage Foundation being
di told that the furniture was
mr being removed.
Mrs. Huntley , explained
that this left the Heritage
group in an awkward and
embarrassing situation as
they .did not° have any fur-
niture for the driver
examiners who use the old
council chambers each week.
"We're disappointed in
some of the people who
represent us," she said, and
added that whoever ordered
the removal of the furniture
must not have any conscience
in the "despicable way" the
• furniture was taken.
The Huron Expositor

and park were vandalized

pointing someone to the
vacant seat at their next
regulk�'' meeting in August.
The PJC will also make an
appointment to fill the vacant
seat that has been left.

The Goierich Signal -Star
reported that the town council
may -be asked to disband the.
PUC and take over the
operation of ,the group itsel,.
Jim Searls said this may be
done because he feels that the.
public is nit getting ' its
money,'s worth out of the
commission. -
Searls began his battle with
the PUC two months ago
when he was against the
commission's policy that
allowed them to travel to
conventions. He felt, after a
trip to California, that. the
PUC should make a policy
that would not allow them to
travel outside of Ontario
unless absolutely necessary.
Searls initially sent a
petition objecting to the $6,000'
trip but received no comment
from the PUC. Now he plans
to go to council with his
complaints and objections.
The village of Lucknow is
moving closer to the time
when it may have a sewerage
system, according to the
Lucknow Sentinel.
Recently the village met
with representatives from the
Bruce County Health Unit to
discuss the future sewerage
proposal. The idea of , a
sewerage system has been
discussed since 1958 when an
initial study was done.
More recent studies by the
Ministry of the Environment
• explain that there is a serious
problem of pollution in the
river , and private sewage
systems and the only means
to clean this up would be
through. a municipal
sewerage system.
The ,health unithas asked
the council to speak with the
ministry to determine the
size, type and cost of the
system. However the council
still feels .as it did in the past,
that the system is basically
needed in the core area and is
perhaps not necessary in
other areas ofIthe village.

mittee met to discuss the
possiblity of an outdoor ice
rink this winter to replace the
arena. - -
The • Kincardine News
reported that after some
discussion and questioning,
it was decided that a natural

possibly high with snow
removal,rain,and a variety of
problems.
Following the Greenpeace
invasion at the Bruce Nuclear
Power Development plant

mission on electric Power

peace members successfully
passed security checks at the
Bruce station and remained
at the site for some time.
A similar incident took
place at the Pickering
station, however the Com-
mission did not mention
either incident as the reason
for the hearings. A
.representative, Arthur
Porter, noted that the com-
mission had been question-
ing the security at the
generating stations for some
time.
Additional problems have
been happening at The Bruce
and last week a fire left the
development without a
construction field office and a
loss estimated at $160,000.
No injuries were reported
in the building that housed 115
employees who were involved
with construction, technical,
engineering and'clerical jobs.
