Sharon McCaffrey one of the
several girls who has been
working at the coffee house said
close, and termed it a "definite
success" from the point of view of
its original purpose. It took them
a long time, he said, but they
learned that certain things, such
as free-loading persons can just
not be allowed.
"A tremendous amount has
been learned about the decision-
making process," said Rev.
Wright. "It is obvious that they
have learned how the adult world
runs and how tough it is without
resonsible people.
At the last couple of meetings I
attended, it was apparent that
they .were taking the respon-
sibility to see that decisions were
being made and carried through,
he said.
that in recent weeks, interest in
maintaining the project has
waned.
Mr. Fairbairn, the owner of the
building said he really didn't
know what the youth group was
doing about the need for better
sanitary facilities on the
premises. "I really can't tell you
too much," he said. "Nobody had
approached me about making
any improvements."
He added, however, that except
for a few problems at first, he had
reegived very good co-operation
from the operators of the coffee
houte.
From the beginning, the
executive of the coffee house has
been supported by a group of
three ministers, including Rev.
Jack Roeda, Rev, Wilfred Jarvis
and Rev. Glenn Wright.
Rev. Wright said he too would

The ministry of transportation
and communication will be asked
to undertake a survey in Exeter
to determine if traffic signals are
required at the intersection of
Huron and Main Streets.
Members of council are of the
opinion that signal lights are
Warranted, but unless the
ministry is of the same opinion,
no grants will be received.
During the discussion about the
lights at Sanders and Main, then
department of transportation
decreed the lights were not
necessary in view of the amount
of traffic.
However, council decided to go
ahead on their own and later the
government did provide funds—
just prior to the last provincial
election.
It was noted at Monday's
council session that lights at
Huron St. would be more costly
because the necessary un-
derground wiring had not been
provided during reconstruction

and Main, Campers are

four collisions.
The Exeter OPP investigated
four accidents this week, each
involving only one driver.
On Friday at 2:00 a.m., a car
driven by Joseph Glavin, RR 2
Lucan, skidded out of control on
concession 2-3 of Stephen and
collided with a fence owned by
Orval Mitchell. Total damage
was listed at $800 by Constable Al
Quinn.
Hydro service was disrupted in
the Huron Park area for several
hours early Saturday morning
when a car owned by James
Randall, Huron Park, collided
with a hydro pole on Algonquin
Drive.
Total damage in that was also
listed at $800 by Constable Bill
Glassford.
On the same day, a car driven
by Timothy Johnson, London,
skidded off a lane at Norman
Heights subdivision in Hay
Township, slid across a lawn
owned by Norman Turnbull and
ended up in a ditch.
Damage to the car was listed at
$150 by Constable Glassford, and
$25 to the lawn.
The only other accident oc-
curred on Sunday at 9:40 p.m.
when a vehicle driven by Donald
T. Southcott, Clarkson, backed
out of a private drive in Zurich
and collided with a parked car
owned:14 Peter Deichert, Zurich.
Total 'damage was set at $60 by

They offer a unique service to the
village, Maybe all of us should
use it more."
No action was taken on the
request. In the past few years
council has rebated an amount
equal to the municipal portion of
the taxes.
A request by Dale Hayter to
operate an auto wrecking yard at
the rear of his present service
station property was given ap-
proval in principle. On a split
vote of 3-2 council decided to ask
their solicitor for an agreement
to cover the operation.
Reeve Payne and councillors
Bob Sharen and Ted Flint voted
In favour while councillors
Murray Des Jardins and Walter
Crumplin voted against. Des
Jardins wanted to give im-
mediate approval. He said he was
an immediate neighbour and had
no objection.
A request from Mrs. Charlotte
Weir to have a street light placed
near her property on Christie
street was approved and will be
forwarded to the PUC.
Approval was given to a 10 year
lease for the Grand Bend Yacht
club for 300 feet of docking space
at 25 cents per foot. This is the
same figure charged on a long
term lease to Manore Marina,
Yacht club officials ap-
proached council several weeks
earlier for a longer lease due to
the fact they were planning on
spending more than $10,000 on
improvements.
Mayor laments fact
,not enough money' Five charged
with breakins
Dick Manore, chairman of the
steering committee in charge of
the winter works program now
underway in Grand Bend told
council Monday night work was
progressing well.
Manure who is also president of
the summer resort's Chamber of
Commerce said material arrived
Monday to build a patio deck for
visiting boaters.
A new link chain fence along
the beach is nearing completion,
picnic tables and benches are
finished and most of the river
bank clearing work has been
done.
Later in the same meeting
council members discussed the
colour to be used in painting the
fence posts and chain, Several
colour combinations were
suggested including blue and
yellow, blue and orange and
black and aluminum,
Manore said expenses to date
were $4,393.62 which included the
patio deck material, A meeting of
the steering committee was set
for Wednesday to plan priorities.
Other members of the group are
Reeve John Payne, Gary
Thompson, Orval Wassmann and
Peter De Jong.
A delegation from the Grand
Bend Legion branch headed by
Les Taylor asked council for a
grant somewhere in the neigh-
bourhood of the Legion's taxes.
Taylor said the Legion has a
place in the community and was
providing a social centre for
senior citizens, Councillor Bob
Exeter's "-Big Toe" coffee
house this week received its most
serious set-back to date, and
perhaps its last criticism.
Monday night, Exeter town
council was presented with a
letter stating that if certain listed
work was not completed by
February 10, "the Medical
Officer of Health of Huron County
will have no option but to declare
the premises closed as unfit for
human habitation."
The letter was dated January
15, 1973 and was addressed to
Clarence (Jim) Fairbairn, the
owner of the building in which the
coffee house is located.
It stated that an inspector who
visited the premises on
December 21, 1973 noted several
adverse conditions, and made six
recommendations of work which
would have to be completed at the
coffee house. These included
providing hydro on the premises;
providing two washrooms;
replacing all broken windows;
providing a permanent adequate
heat source; sealing off the attic
from the downstairs; and
thoroughly cleaning the entire
premises. This work was to have
been completed by this Saturday.
Since the coffee house was
started in the fall, it has come
under a great deal of criticism.
One of the major criticisms of
the Big Toe's short career came
from Exeter Police Chief Ted
Day in early December. He said
his main concern stemmed from
the number of "outsiders" using
the facilities and the fact that
persons convicted of drug
possession were frequenting the
coffee house. He said it was
known that several of the youths
were suffering from hepatitis and
due to their uncleanliness were
contaminated with fleas.
There was very little reaction
from the executive members of
the coffee house to the letter from
the Huron County Health
Inspector.
Chairman of the. Big Toe
executive, Mike Foreman, said

the committee had considered
undertaking any sewer work
prior to having approval for the
overal project.
His remark was directed
particularly at the hope that
some solution could be found for
the people on Carling St. who had
recently complained about sewer
Water backing into their
basement.
"I don't know where we'd get
the money," Glenn Kells replied.
He said the normal expenditure
on sewers was 12 to 14 mills and
the new John St. force main, and
pumping station alone would take
28 mills.
Members expressed the hope
Canadian Canners would have
some answers regarding the
lagoon in a week so the sewer
project could get moving along,
A camped for the National

to attend.
Officials of the two clubs met in
Exeter on Saturday with RAP
chairman Gord Baynham, Reeve
Derry Boyle and Board of Trade
secretary Bill Batten.
They told the local men they
had considered changing to a new
location this year, but just
couldn't find a spot with the
facilities Exeter has to offer.
They said their enthusiastic
welcome by town residents and
officials over the years also
prompted their return.

Two collisions
for town drivers
The only two motor 'Vehicle
accidents of the week in-
vestigated by the Exeter police
department occurred within a
half hour of each other Saturday
afternoon.
The first at 3.15 involved
vehicles driven by Beverly
Skinner, 127 Anne Street, Exeter
and Edward Farwell, RR 3,
Zurich,
The accident took place on
Main Street, south of John.
Constable Alex Balasz set
damages at $600.
The second accident was in the
same area of Main street.
Involved in the collision were
vehicles driven by Steve Kirk,
RR 1, Strathroy and Russell
Brintnell, 178 Andrew street,
Exeter.
Constable Balasz again in-
vestigated and damages were
listed at $650.
Assistance of a Crediton
resident has been cited by Exeter
OPP as leading to the arrest of
five area youths in connection
with several area breakins and
thefts.
Around 5:00 a,m., Monday, the
resident called police to report a
suspicious car with several
youths driving in the village.
A car was later stopped by OPP
Constable Frank Giffin and in-
vestigation led to several charges
of break, enter and theft being
laid against the youths,
They are Donald E, Seniuk,
Exeter; Steven Dale Smith, RR 3
Exeter; Larry Minderlein, RR 3
Parkhill; Alexander Stewart
McBeth, Exeter; and Kenneth
Charles Jones Huron Park.
They will appear in court on
February 13 to face charges
arising out of breakins and thefts
at Hensall, Exeter, Clandeboye
and Huron Park.
Breakins were discovered
Monday at Hensall Motors in
Hensall, the Zip Cat 'Wash in
Exeter and the Clandeboye
apartments. if:'
About $12 was reported missing
from the Hensall firm; $35 in
quarters was reported taken in
the Exeter breakin; and ap-
proximately $30 in change and
cigarettes from a vending
machine in the Clandeboye
apartments.
AssistingConstable Giffin in the
investigation were Constables
Dale Lamont and Bill Lewis of
the Exeter detachment, Con-
stable Alex Balasz of the Exeter
PD, and OPP Constable Carl
Auger of the Lucan OPP.
Police also report that three
persons have been charged with
causing a disturbance following
an altercation at the Dufferin
Hotel in Centralia, Friday.
Bylaw not okay
but refuse sign
Exeter council's proposed new
sign bylaw was tabled Monday
night, but was quickly sent back
to the committee for further
consideration.
It was indicated that the bylaw
presented to each member of
council by Ileeve Derry Boyle
was not what the protection to
persons and property committee
had decided upon.
Many items in the bylaw were
to have been deleted but were
still included.
Boyle suggested that his in-
structions given at the town's
solictor's office had apparently
not been followed.
The new bylaw, if passed, will
prohibit overhanging signs in the
future. Existing overhanging
signs will be allowed to remain,
but no new ones can be erected,
Face-mounted signs only will be
permitted.
Although the bylaw has not yet
been passed, council this week
approved a motion denying
approval for an overhanging sign
to be erected at the new Burkley
Restaurant.
Hire additional constable
"We can't keep the town the
way it should be with the money
we have," lamented Mayor Jack
Delbridge at Monday's council
meeting.
His comments came after a
discussion regarding sewer, road
and sidewalk work for the coming
year.
Chairman of the roads com-
mittee, Ted Wright, told council
that most of the budget had
already been used up by project
commitments undertaken by last
year's council.
This includes the completion of
the sanitary sewer system and
the completion of the work on
Andrew St. which was curtailed
late last year.
In addition, Wright pointed out
that if the Len Veri mobile home
park is approved, council will
have to provide an outlet for
sewers.
Mayor Delbridge also noted
that council last year had agreed
to undertake a drainage project
in conjunction with Stephen
township in the Waterloo St, area.
Wright explained that the work
to which council were committed
would eat up more than the
budget approved by the ministry
of transportation and com-
munications for grant purposes.
Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn
said sidewalks needed attention
and it wouldn't be a matter of
picking out the bad ones to
replace, but the worst ones.
This prompted Mayor
Delbridge to comment about the
lack of funds for needed projects.
The roads and drains com-
mittee indicated an intention to
instal storm sewers on the streets
leading into Pryde Blvd. in the
Dow subdivision and also
suggested final preparation
should be undertaken for some
paving of streets in the core area.
However, Wright said
ratepayers shouldn't look for any
streets to be paved this year.
Councillor Bruce Shaw asked if

parking spaces,
Chief Day was not present at
the meeting and his report for the
month of January was given by
Reeve Boyle. It outlined the
following statistics:
Twelve accidents with damage
of $1,795, 13 charges and 68
warnings under the Highway
Traffic Act, five places of
business found insecure, seven
charges under the Liquor Control
Act, four snow vehicle com-
plaints, 13 assists for other police
departments, four thefts, of
under $50 with total loot
amounting to $72,90, 12 lost and
found items, seven investigations
under the Narcotics Control Act,
25 parking tickets issued.
"I'm apprehensive toe," stated
Councillor Bruce Shaw, a
member of the committee, "but
according to the statistics, there
is a real need".
After further debate the
recommendation was approved,
with Chief Day being asked to
hire a probationary constable,
After the motion was passed,
members suggested the police
should now find time to crack
down on persons who disregard
the two-hour parking limits on
Main St,
Several names of violators
were mentioned and Reeve Boyle
said he would ask the Chief to
immediately start charging these
people to free more downtown
Despite some argument,
Exeter council this week agreed
to hire a probationary police
constable on a trial basis for the
balance of the year,
The recommendation was
made by the protection to persons
and property committee chaired
by Reeve Derry Boyle.
The committee bad made the
recommendation following the
annual request from Chief Day
for additional police staff.
Size of the force will now be five
men, including the Chief.
Reeve Boyle said the
probationary constable would be
paid an annual salary of $7,000
and it was hoped that this would
reduce substantially the amount
of overtime paid to the other
members of the force.
Last year council paid out
$4,000 in overtime pay.
Three members of council —
ben Hoogenboom, Tom Mac-
millan and Ted Wright — were
hesitant about authorizing the
additional staff member,
Hoogenboorn questioned if a
responsible man could be hired
for the salary suggested and
Boyle assured him it was
possible.
MacMillan wondered why
another man was needed when in
fact council had been advised
that the purchase of portable
communications equipment for
the force was "equal to having
another man on the force".
Wright wanted to know how the
size of the local force compared
with other towns in the area and
Was told that Clinton and Mitchell
both had five-man departments.
Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn, a
member of the committee
making the recommendation,
said it was hoped the police would
now be able to enforce the animal
control bylaw, making it un-
necessary to spend $1,200 to hive
someone to control dogs in the
community.
Hoogenboten suggested that
the police are required to do a
great deal of Office work and it
May be More economical to hire
someone to do the office work and
free the police for their duties.
