RAP chairman Gord Baynham was on hand at the council Sewer meeting — Continued from Page told earlier by the Huron Health Unit that the soils were not desirable for septic tank in- stallations for concentrated residential development. Resolutions from the three . councils asking for a treatment plant as opposed to a lagoon are being forwarded to provincial authorities this week. All members of Grand Bend council attended Tuesday's meeting, Present from Stephen were reeve Joseph Dietrich, deputy-reeve Cecil Desjardine and clerk Wilmar Wein. Atten- ding from Hay were reeve Joseph Hoffman and councillor Joseph Miller. At a meeting the same night, Stephen council amended their resolution telling the Ministry they would proceed with their own engineers on a survey if the request for a treatment plant was turned down. Clerk Wilmar Wein told the T=A this move would be similar to the plan currently being composed by B. M. Ross, a Goderich engineering firm for a proposed water system to serve the police village of Dashwood. The province had not taken any action on a Stephen request for a system so council decided to proceed on their own. Wein said he felt grant structures would not change if a municipality proceeded on its own. GB council — Continued from Page 1 The beach parking lot at Grand Bend will continue to be open this summer each Saturday and Sunday and all holidays on a charge basis. A motion by councillor Webster to have an attendant on duty throught the week was defeated when Reeve Sharen voted against it after councillors split two-two. In addition to Webster, Doug Martin was in favour but fellow councillors John Teevins and Murray Des Jardins voted against. During the same discussion, Don Kunz was hired to operate the parking lot and Miss Irene Gill was named to' be irrcharge of the bath house for the summer. Both persons held the same positions last year. Councillor Webster reported his suggestion several months ago to hold a Cadet Day in Grand Bend has been enthusiastically supported by the Department of National Defence at Ottawa and Trenton. In additiOn to a large number of cadets from Camp Ipperwash, members of cadet groups from Trenton and Camp Borden and the Navy League of Canada are expected. Webster said the only cost to Grand Bend would be in providing a trophy for the best marching group and providing small refreshments to the visiting cadets. He is asking service clubs in the area to back the project. Exeter drains — Continued from Page 1 the roads and drains committee investigate , and make a recommendation to council before the end of May. Discussion then ranged to another topic before Councillor Tom MacMillan pointed out they had failed to make any decisions regarding the meeting in Elimville and how they would handle the drainage costs. Mayor Deibridge suggested the town back the cost breakdown as listed by the drainage engineer. In addition to the town's $979 portion, it calls for other ratepayers in Exeter to pay $1,787 privately. "That will set a precedent for Waterloo St.," suggested Reeve Derry Boyle, in reference to the proposed drainage on Waterloo to be carried out in conjunction with Stephen Township. Works superintendent Glen Kells then reminded council they had indicated to the engineer on this proposed drain that the town would pay the entire cost for private and public lands drained within the municipality. "We intimated, but didn't decide," Boyle replied. Kells said, as he recalled, council considered the Wpterloo St. drain more of a storm drain for the roads, with only Stephen residentS benefitting by being able to hook cellar drains into the Councillor Bob Simpson remarked that the Alexander and Waterloo St, situations appeared to be different, It was then agreed to leave this Matter in the hands of the roads and drains'Committee, but urged that some decision be reached before Monday's meeting on the feller drain. session and while noting the budget was a "considerable increase over last year" said RAP had "pared it and pared it." He said the $40,000 (which includes $6,600 in provincial grants) was • an absolute minimum and left RAP with an $8,000 deficit to make up, Council were told that "everything" in the form of program registration and facility rentals would be increased to help cover the $8,000. Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn questioned why the anticipated revenue detailed by RAP would be down from last year. Baynham explained that a major portion of the decline was the result of the Exeter Junior Hawks failing to advance in playoffs this year. The reduction in revenue from the Hawks was estimated at $2,000 to $2,300 alone. Mrs, Jermyn then asked if RAP had considered getting a youth group with an Opportunities for Youth grant to operate the local playground program. The RAP chairman said this would not be approved because OFY grants were only given to new programs. He also pointed out that Mayor Jack Deibridge had "always insisted" that the playground program be continued. The Mayor said he didn't know whether he had said that or not, but stated he also mentioned that the program was a bit of a baby- sitting program. Mrs. Jermyn wondered if the program was required as much now with the swim program and the fact that more people were away from the community for summer vacations. She termed the RAP budget "hard to handle for a community this size" and lamented that provincial grants appeared to be available for communities which failed to take the initiative in organizing their own recreation programs. While the budget was ap- proved, it will be subject to further consideration when council's budget is deliberated in the coming weeks. In another matter related to RAP, council agreed to prepare a bylaw to change the structure of the committee which administers recreation, parks and the arena. At the present time there are actually three committees, although members of each are identical. Three sets of minutes and three sets of books are kept. Under the change proposed at Monday's meeting, RAP would become one body administering the same functions but with one set of minutes and books. The former structure evolved on the basis that RAP received grants from various provincial ministries, but these all come from one source at the present. The legality of the proposed change will be checked before it is instituted, Plan specials for ed week An Open House will be held at Exeter public school Wednesday April 24 as local recognition of Education Week '74. Principal James Chapman invites visitors to drop in to the school anytime between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.whilelclasses are in progress.

THE READERS WRITE Exeter is certainly a town which will remain lingering in a persons mind long after he or she has departed from this thriving community. From its beautiful well kept picturesque parks, to its colorful and charming parades we certainly have a town that pleases many. Not to mention of course, we hold the largest rodeo east of Calgary, and last year we celebrated our one hundredth and most knowledgeable birthday. This then is surely a town of well planning and intelligence. But with all the good planning and well drafted projects I tend to see one which does not follow Exeter's way of doing things. To the public it must seem confusing and a little bit maddening. Paying $1078 for seven garbage cans! That's right, not 17 or 70 but seven. I see a clear picture of these unsightly robots in my mind. No doubt they are a gold plated machine perhaps five feet high and two feet wide. I see it with four little wheels rolling down the street at a moderate pace, in search of the "pest" garbage. As it approaches a candy wrapper a long spiral tongue reaches out and sucks it up with a great vacuum. How convenient! With seven of these machines ' lurking the streets and alleyways of Exeter, garbage will be a thing of the past. This may seem a little fic- ticious but for $150 a piece I ex- pect no less, And really what good are seven garbage cans in a town a mile long not to mention those pictureSque wits which certainly need the service of such objects. -- It seems strange that a town only 15 miles south of here manages with wire mesh at- tached to each lamp post, total cost being roughly $15. After all when you have to walk two or three blocks to find a garbage can it is much more convenient to just drop your garbage and go about your way. However, in a town such as Lucan a garbage can staring you straight in the face no matter where you look makes you think twice before discarding anything at your feet. And if wire mesh is too ordinary, there must be cheaper ones that are of good quality and hold the same quantity as our high class ones. Small empty oil barrels painted decoratively also serve the same purpose and cost far less. The painting is a community activity and therefore more personal rather than some metal hazard fresh off the assembly line. Now then, isn't that what this community's all about. After all Two injured in car crash Only two accidents were reported by Exeter OPP over the Easter holiday period. One resulted in injuries to two people. At 9:10 p.m., Saturday, a vehicle driven by Bruce Pratt, 248 Colborne St., Brantford, Went out of control and struck five Clothes line poles and a parked car owned by Gerald Mills of 232 Algonquin Drive, Huron Park. A second vehicle owned by Mills and one owned by Margaret Lowe were damaged by flying debris. Pratt and a passenger, John Beckham, also of Brantford, were taken to hospital and released the following day, Constable Frank Giffin in- vestigated and listed total damage At $2,400, The only other crash of the week occurred at 12:30 a.m., Sunday, when a vehicle driven by Patrick Lane, RR 3, Dashwood, went Out of control on County Road 2 just south of the Creditor: Road and crashed into fence posts on property owned by A. McCann. Total damage was set at $430 by Constable Jim Rogers, During the past week, the local detachment officers charged 18 people under the Highway Traffic Act and issued Warnings to another 25. There were four charges under the Liquor Control Act, those who work together live together. But who am Ito tell you that $1000 goes a long way on other things than garbage cans, This much I can tell you though, I'm going to feel rather strange throwing a piece of trash into a $150 garbage can! Teresa Ondrejicka Dutch exhibition opens in museum An exhibit, arranged by Canadians of Dutch background, is the main attraction at the Strathroy Middlesex Museum at present. It includes photos of Holland, costume items, household articles, a bit different than those commonly used here, and a very old picture made of tiles, The winter museum hours (Wednesdays and Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m.) are still in effect, but will probably be lengthened in May.

Exeter council members. had some words „of criticism„for the Exeter District Co-Op, Monday,. but before their meeting was completed, they learned the criticism may have been founded. The situation arose when contractor Gus Gregus appeared et the meeting to discuss a building permit to allow the Co- Historical or hysterical? The problem of trimming Exeter's Riverview Park .trees will be left entirely in the hands of the local RAP committee, Council had a discussion on the subject this week, but decided against any action in view of the fact parks now come under the total jurisdiction of RAP. The matter of the damaged trees came up during a discussion of the provincial SWEEP program, whereby funds are available for a variety of environmental work. In considering ways to use the monies available, council learned that many trees in the park were damaged and heard an estimate from PUC manager Hugh Davis and works superintendent Glen Kells that it would take two men at least a week to trim the trees. Many were damaged during the winter's ice storm. While the matter was turned over to RAP, Councillor Ben Hoogenboom urged that the work be undertaken as quickly as possible, noting it would cost twice as much to look after the trees once they have broken into leaf. During the discussion on SWEEP, Clerk Eric Carscadden read from the correspondence that monies are available for "historical sites." When someone suggested that money may be available for the town hall, Councillor Bruce Shaw quickly quipped that it was an "hysterical site." California, Arthur of London, Jack of Hensall, Mrs. J.

It had been pointed out to Gregus by the building inspector that the prdperty in question was zoned industrial, and while the addition would not contravene this aspect of the bylaw, a set- back off the street of 50 feet was required. The clearance which would be left by the proposed addition would only be 33 feet, Members of council thought this could be ruled on by the local committee of adjustment as a minor variance and Gregus was advised to tell the Co-Op management of this. Mayor Jack Deibridge noted it would take at least 30 days to get the committee ruling and Gregus said this would be a problem as the addition was to be built within six weeks. Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn said she wished there was a way council could get across to people that the onus was of them to make certain they were con- forming to bylaws with their planned projects. Reeve Derry Boyle said there was no excuse for the Co-Op management not knowing about the need to check zoning bylaws Youths face counts over recent thefts Two youths were apprehended this week and charged in con- nection with a recent series of thefts in Exeter. They will be appearing in juvenile court at a later date. Over the weekend a key ring with 25 keys attached was taken from Tuckey Beverages truck parked on Anne street. The keys for soft drink vending machines were apparently used in other thefts. $50 was taken from a vending machine from Gary Kyle's service station Monday in Exeter north and Tuesday about $40 was stolen from a similar machine at Dale's service station, Main street south. Youth is charged after auto stolen Two thefts were reported in the area this week. On Thursday, Andre Loranger, RR 2, Grand Bend, reported the theft of $75 worth of tools from his car which r. was 'parked at a parking lot in Huron Park. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, a car owned by Glen Stire, Exeter, was stolen from its parking spot at Larry Snider Motors. The vehicle was later recovered by the Hanover police and David Leslie Short, no fixed address, was charged with theft, and Mayor Jack Deibridge lamented the fact that people expect to get council approval on things overnight "and it's just out of the question". Gregus said he would advise the Co-Op of council's decision. He appeared later in the meeting with Co-Op manager Jack. Schell, who stated that the Co-Op did not consider their store frontage as being Victoria St. as council had assumed, He said none of the four doors in the present building faced Victoria St. and that the property to the south facing on Victoria was considered their sideyard. Mayor Jack Delbridge agreed that there was some merit in that suggestion, "What's your address?" the Mayor questioned. Schell replied it was 221 Brock St. "You caught me again," the The finest SHRUBS & PLANTS featuring /2 plants per box in most varieties also in stock, peat moss and fertilizers etc., patio and sidewalk slobs.
