The last task is to determine what is acceptable in the county as a conservation method. The exact format Of the study has not yet been worked out said Mr. Davidson, but he expects meetings with municipal represen- tativesand the farm community will be held over the next few months. The study is ex- pected to be finished by the end of April with a report to be presented to county council. Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle asked the plan- ner if the aim of the study is to regulate, through the official plan and zoning bylaws, new development. The reeve was concerned that regulations would prohibit certain types of development which would result in an individual municipality and the county to lose the potential benefit of another in- dustry. e 1064thkdthe 4,14 •qp., Mr. Davidson repeatedly emphasizedthat no, the purpose of _the study isn't to regulate future or existin degetoppaL Thepurpose theateil ileidt,hep is to have edUeatiOnal,Weri*tionavailable4 thitwilLnrnmntoeneruv Oonaeraation. oexa00P 'Davi* said rem?, j„.„, ,t„ • tone 9 dOkOr-tilatilOnt,to • ei* 000 along.. evsiteon.techniqUeSatoStflU • 'f • pe r' • • s s • 4.11f4 ' • pm" s ,„o" • „Agz tap A lot of the information from' the .....i..• Of',,Prrailt;:Sti will be aimed at building inspectoreandleon- Van Patter, Stephen R struction companies said Mr. Davidson and StePlien.

'44 Drinking drivers beware The Ontario Provincial Police will be em- barking on an all-out attack on drinking drivers over the Christmas and New Year's holidays OPP Commissioner Archie Ferguson announced this week. OPP officers in every corner of the pro- vince will be watching for people who take their holiday celebrations too far. Using roadside breath screening devices, the police officers will be able to test drivers they believe have been drinking. The test devices show one of three results after a driver takes the test. If the 'pass' light shows, the driver can go. A 'warn' light means the driver may receive a 12 -hour suspension; in that case, his driver's licence is seized, and he must make other ar- rangements for continuing his journey. If the person taking the test seeS the 'fail' light, it means the start of a procedure to ob- tai n a test with n a ormal breathalyzer . . "Last year, out ot ,J8 drivers killed in fatal accidents in Ontario, 301 had been drinking," reports Commissioner Ferguson. "Everyone in the community has a respon- sibility to try to reduce this terrible statistic." The OPP has a major part to 'play in any work to reduce drinking and driving says Commissioner Ferguson. But he also stresses the fact that everyone can try to' prevept the drinker reaching his car when his driving will be impaired. Friends and family can use their influence to stop a loved one from taking totally unnecessary risks - both the risk of having an accident and the risk of being caught by the police. "Moderation is the keyword," says Com- missioner Ferguson. "Hospitality means more than just making sure someone's glass is always full. It also means making sure that guests can get home safely." St. Joseph's School finds federal grants hard to get By Stephanie Levesque The Huron -Perth Separate School Board could be heading towards another roadblock in its attempt to receive federal funding to improve two schools. Director of education William Eckert brought a letter addressed to Perth MPP, Hugh Edighoffer from a departmental assistant in the Ministry of Employment and Immigratihn to the attention of trustees at their Dec. 12 meeting. One paragraph in particular, bothered the director. It stated that the assistant had been told by the regional office in London that the board had not applied, for funding under the Canada Worksprogram as of late November. "M the board is aware, we applied for funds on Oct. 24," said Mr. Eckert. The director added that the board's ap- plication was acknowledged,bythe rWonal office in a letter dated Oct. 27. Wir, Eckert said he has sent letters, to the departmental assistant and Mr. Edighoffer, dating that the board has applied for Canada Works fun. ding. The Canada Works application is asking for $366,000 which is made up of $249,000 for labor and $117,000 for materials. The total project cost is $681,000 with the difference being the board's cost for materials and other supplies. The grant application proposes a general purpose room with change rooms for both Precious Blood Separate School in Exeter and St. Joseph's Separate School in Clinton. Also a library resource room is proposed for Precious Blood. Originally, superintendent of business and finance, Jack Lane estimated the board would have a reply on the Canada Works ap- plication by the first of December, but lie now expects it will take another four to six weeks before anything definite is known. Meanwhile, construction is underway at Sacred Heart Separate School in Whighant The partite school board received p2,620 under the Canada -Ontario ,Kmployment Development (COED) Profitant \The total cost Of the VVingham prOjeC011_ $161,500 with the board paying the owe difference.
