The engineer's report on a proposed sew-
age system for Exeter has been .completed. As.
expected, it provides no reason for jubilation in
retard. to cost. On -the other hand, it Amid. appear
.,,sthat the community •can afford to proceed with a
•'a -partial installation.
The estimate for constructions of Stage I,
- : that portion which will provide service to the
cpmmercial and heavily built-up areas of the toren,
totals slightly more than $207,000. With the tire-
„ ariping arr•angements avail:able the annual cost to
„lie, municipality, including operation of the plant,.
rias been estimated at $26,262.00, Even if only .one-
quarter of •this amount was raised through service
charges, the remainder could be secured by an
• addition of less than seven mills to the tax rate,.
The above figures take into co.lisideration
tlae 2517� write-off grant available through borrow-
ing from the Central .Mortgage and Housing Corp.
:::Further savings may be made. .according to the
report, if the town takes advantage of the winter
works assistance program.
At this stage, of course, there remain many
considerations before any decision_ can be macre to
`undertake the project. Council must make a
"thorough study of the plan' anct of the methods of
financing. The OWRC must approve the proposals,
F inally. permission must be secured from the
Ontario Municipal Board to borrow the required
funds.
���• Nevertheless, the main consideration at the
moment is that the installation would appear .fin-
airciallyy 'feasible. particularly if council is prepared
to budget its other expenditures carefully, With
--this prospect, council should proceed as quickly
as possible, avoiding the procrastination and de -
:T -ay which sometimes besets such projects, It should
so be careful to prevent pigeon -holing of reports
,,and proposals at various stages which could mean
lite loss of what benefits are available now from
MHC and winter works assistance measures,
,i,tielpful methods
We continue to like the effort Reeve Earl
I,s9fon makes to show his ratepayers in McGillivray
td iiship. how their taxes are spent.
Mr;. Dixon, who is retiring as reeve this
year but will continue -to serve as a councillor,
pain"stakingly breaks down the rate on a black-
board to show how the 'taxes on an average -size
farm are spent. He also provides a comparison with -
the -previous year and explains the reasons for the
differences, -
'\Ve noticed :that in another community,
council formed itself as a panel to answer any
questions which ratepayers might wish to ask
through an unpartial moderator.
Such efforts --and there are many similar
odes which can be adopted --serve two purposes.
Not only de they assist in helping to give the rate-
payers a better insight into their - affairs but they
also show a community spirit by inviting close
scrutiny.

Makjng changes
The Times -Advocate has a different and, we
hope. more pleasing appearance this week. You
already have noticed that we have eliminated the
lines between the columns of type, termed "column
rule" by us, and the lines at the eiid of stories,.
referred to is the trade as 1'jim nasties".
We've been prompted to make these
changes by typt'ographical design experts NOW
spoke to us recently at a regional meeting of
\l•ecliv newspaper personnel, The elimination u1
the lines, they suggested, will .contribute to easier
reading as well as a cleaner appearance.
We hope you like .the changes, If you don't,
please let us know.
Tears in the street
;\ child is crying in the street, •
lie has no food or place to eat,
Ile has no shoes for on his feet,
He's crying, crying.
Bombs are falling all around
His crus are muffled by the sound,
And there he sits upon the ground,
Just crying, crying.
Some planes are flying overhead,
His mother, father, both are dead,
The streets are torn, wet, and red,
He's crying, crying.
People running here and there,
They pass Bins by without a stare,
No one left to really care,
He's crying, crying,
Will someone stop and hear his cry
As they go running, running by,
And mend his heart, •so it won't clie
From crying, crying,
All alone and feeling sad,
No longer has he got a dad,
Just a broken-hearted lac!
'SVho's crying, crying.
We have much to wear and eat,
The people smile on our street,
Do you not wish' that 'you. could treat
The; boy who's crying, crying?
Would you not take- hini by the arm
So no one else could cause him harm
And give hint. love and joy and charm
And stop the crying, crying.
Would you not stop, if you rvere there,
Extend your hand and offer care
Or even just a silent piayer
May stop the crying, crying.
Just raise his head and dry the tear,
Your love has now replaced the fear
And life again is Once More dear ,'
.And no more crying, crying: '
Now lie's home and in your bed
And no more planes 'roar overhead,
Then on his face you see, instead
Of tears, he smiles.
