Second thoughts PUC will be invited to council again to discuss water system Members of the PUC will again be invited to council to discuss financing of a water storage and distribution system that will cost the town an estimated $1 million. Just two weeks earlier, after discussing the matter with representatives of the PUC, council agreed to apply to the Ministry of the Environment for a grant on the project and leave the matter of financing to the PUC and the next council. The ministry had indicated that grant monies would be available for the project if application was made prior to October 1. Some members of council and the PUC believed that if council did not take advantage of the grants this year, it may have to wait several years for the same opportunity. While the town administrator has made application for the grant, councillor Elsa Haydon asked that the September 20 motion of council be rescinded until more detailed information on the financing was available. Councillor Glet7 Carey later asked that motion be tabled to the October 18 meeting of council when the matter could be discussed with commission members. Haydon suggested that council was pressured into applying for the ministry grant adding that financing should be spelled out before council proceeds. "It would be more responsible on our part to tell the ministry .we want to look at the financing first and explain to them why we want more time," she said. "We were pressured and the financing is unclear. The PUC had so long to get facts and figures together but then wanted the application first and financing' later." Carey said the, next council may find itself in a position of having to turn down the grant money because financing details are incomplete but he added that it wasn't fair to simply rescind the earlier motion. "We can't just change our minds and simply railroad through a different motion," he said. "To endorse this motion smacks of council arrogance. We had a lenghty discussion and an involved motion on the matter and we can't change'the motion and not have them ( PUC) heard. You can't change the rules." SAT..

"You guys do your work; out beating the bushes, rais- ing money, getting involved in projects and volunteer programs all over the coun- ty, all over the country. God love you for your good will, God love you for your effort, but it takes a lot more than that. Where are the young ones, the ones to take your place?" Father Nelligan informed the approximately 150 peo- ple assembled in the Pineridge Chalet that the key to beating cancer is in education, with young people using a microscope, and math and physics, chemistry and biology. The former US Peace Corps worker, teacher, pro- fessor and sports coach who now shepherds the Mount Carmel and Exeter parishes said the future belongs to the technologically efficient, and bemoaned the fact North America is at least 15 paces behind the Soviet Union and Japan. He cited a comparison of the curricula of Grade 9 students in the USSR, Japan and America. The first two study physics, chemistry, algebra, . trigonometry and computer science while the latter watch a garter snake swallow a mouse. North American children, with the same .jiergy, in- telligence and ability as. their Russian and Japanese counterparts are satisfying their intellectual curiosity down at the arcade, wat- ching one little dot eat another little dot. Father Nelligan turned next to the number one preventable cause of death - smoking. • He said he has given thechildren he teaches permission to rip the cigarette out of their parent's Mouth or cry, 'Daddy, your face is on fire" and douse the flames with a pall of water. He has a vested interest in this battle; his mother and six others died in a hotel fire caused by a careless smoker. "A child has the right to parents. You do not have the right to smell up your child's clothes and his hair, and take away his mom and dad prematurely," he said. With biting wit, Father Nelligan ridiculed the upside-down priorities .that pay a football player an average of $87,000 a year (hardly enough to keep him in cocaine, judging by recent newspaper accounts, he remarked) while someone working in a research lab gets $35,000. The priest addressed his enthralled listeners with the fervour and eloquence of so- meone who has been in the front line of battle. He is fighting lung paralysis, has lost one leg to bone disease and is scheduled to soon lose the other. "I know my diseases, how I got them, where they came from. I'm going on the in- stalment plan, one piece at a time," he said. "Cancer is the wrong way to go." Father Nelligan concluded by saying the only real miracle is in the minds and. hands of human beings, and if we get back to the things that count, perhaps some day members of the Cancer Society will meet for reu- nions where cancer will be only a • bad. memory like polio, diptheria and small pox. The speaker sat down to a standing ovation. If Father Nelligan wa the star of the evening,- 91 -year • - old Mabel Glenn deserved the award for best suppor- ting role. Though taken by. surprise when called to the - head table to receive a special plaque after retiring from 18 years as Exeter area memoriam chairman, she soon recovered her equilibrium. Her humourous repartee with presenter Norm Whiting, past presi- dent of the Exeter branch, delighted the audience. After Mrs. Glenn returned to her chair, Huron County Unit 'president Ross'. McDaniel suggested . if anyone required a guest speaker, he would recom- mend the lady. Fingering the gold pin representing 50 years of par- ticipation in the Cancer Society, Mrs. Glenn retorted, 'Don't put it off too long!" Campaign chairman, Jim Remington of Goderich was the recipient of the cam- paign award. During a short business meeting at the end of the evening, McDaniel announc- ed nnounceed the gratifying results of the 1982 campaign. The ob- jective of $71,000 was sur- passed by more than $12,000. The $83,635 total included $13,276 from the Clinton campaign, $22,994 collected in Exeter, $7,835 in Seaforth, $16,595 in Wingham and $22,935 in Goderich. The Exeter. fashion show presented by Merry Rags, Grand Bend, with participa- tion from all five • areas, realized $5,804.97. Forty-five thousand daffodils sold by Beta Sigma Phi sorority chapters raised an addi- tional $9,739 and special events including daffodil teas, bike -a -thous, and Terry Fox runs contributed a fur- ther $23,000 to the Huron County total. • End of Season SALE at Bayfield ALL STOCK DRASTICALLY REDUCED TO CLEAR te 1O- /O NIIMFM RCHdNDI$E Mandl, Chagall, Irka, Jack iviulq een, Rovie, and many, many, more.
