Doug Parker's Barber Shop Closed July 1-7 for vacation Continued from front page works superintendent Glenn Kells to continue with the present schedule. Kells said the garbage at the park was picked up on the first return from the dump on Mon- Parking plan Continued from front page It was indicated that the ob- jection would be withdrawn if council would reconsider and allow the use of the two lots for parking. Council appeared to do a bit of an about-face in view of the ob- jection. They approVed a motion presented by Derry Boyle to advise Peter Warkentin of Les ' Pines that the overall official plan was being revamped. No authorization was given to proceed with the plan to amend the zoning bylaw lo eliminate the parking requirements for the Burkley. Councillor Bruce Shaw suggested that the letter to Warkentin include a note that council "won't be favoring one ratepayer over another". "We were!" advised Mayor Jack Delbridge, in noting council's plan of action for the elimination of parking for the Burkley. The Mayor said he "would do exactly the same thing" if he was in the Les Pines owner's boots. "I think maybe we 'goofed," admitted Councillor Ted Wright. Clerk Eric Carscadden noted that the Burkley had never made a written application to have the zoning bylaw changed and that the owner had never presented a site plan showing the existing parking facilities, as he had been requested to do. Councillor Bob Simpson in- dicated some support for proceeding with the plan to assist the Burkley. "If we're going to kick business out of town, we may as well put gates up at both ends of town," he argued. Council hires new solicitor Stratford lawyer Robert Mountain will be retained by Exeter council to proceed with plans to acquire land for the opening of Alexander St. east. The town's solicitors, Raymond & McLean advised they could not act on the matter as they represent several of the people who own land in the area and this created a conflict of interest. In his letter, Peter L. Raymond said that he had obtained "negative results" in his first approach to people asking them to convey land to the town at a nominal fee. Several of the industries along Highway 83 have voiced their objection to opening the street because they fear another access to their properties will result in thefts. Mayor Jack Delbridge again expressed the opinion that council "would be remiss" if they didn't proceed with plans to open the street, Council members expressed some concern at the town solicitors waiting so long before making their intentions known. Council had asked on October 25, 1972 that the land be acquired. A committee of council will meet with Mountain to formulate plans on how to proceed with the street opening, day, which was generally right after lunch. Kells explained that changing schedules would result in adding considerable time to the pickup job each week and "soon it won't be a three-day job". He said the garbage was never scattered about when the men went to pick it up and he could see no problem with sticking to the present schedule. In a counter-request, Kells asked that RAP cut the lawn more frequently on the west side of the bridge in the vicinity of the town's sewer pumping station. Council also approved the site for the proposed tennis courts being planned by the Exeter Lions. RAP chairman Gord Baynham said RAP considered the area directly east of the public school and north of the high school as the best site for the 120' by 108' facility. Baynham admitted it was going to take up "quite a slice of property" but his group felt this the best location possible in the community park. Baynham and rec director Jim McKinlay explained the present move in the county to have townships pay for recreation facilities and programs on a more equitable basis with their urban neighbors. They said the town recreation committed,We4"draftiiig a brief to present to county council; noting that of the $452,000 spent on recreation "ire Iltirthi; 'the townships pay only $32,000. McKinlay said Exeter had reached an impasse with the area townships in attempting to set up an area recreation council to share costs and this had promp- ted the recent move by RAP to set a two-price system whereby township residents will pay more in registration fees for local programs. He said he received only five calls from township residents after the announcement was made and he was able to convince four of those people about the validity of the policy. He said swimming pool registration held Saturday resulted in the usual number of rural youngsters and the policy "didn't seem to make any ap- preciable difference in registration". The recreation spokesmen said they hoped the new policy would result in some township residents urging their councils to get back on the track in discussing area boards for recreation. In the final discussion between RAP and council, the latter agreed to write Canadian Can- ners Ltd. and ask again to use facilities east of the local plant for a soccer field. An earlier request had been turned down because company officials feared youngsters would stray into the plant from the field and create a safety hazard. McKinley said there would be some control of the situation in that youngsters would be advised that they either had to stay away from the plant or lose out on playing soccer. He told council that the soccer players may be asked to , vacate their present facilities at the high school because the lawn needs some repair. Alternate sites were discussed, but none mentioned appeared large enough to house a playing field, Flag stolen, park damaged A theft and two incidents of vandalism are being investigated this week by officers of the Exeter police department. A Canadian flag Was taken sometime over the weekend from the home of Dick .lermyn, 26 Riverside drive, A flower bed was damaged in Riverview park and similar damage was 4 sustained by evergreen trees and a garden at the home of David Zyluk,, Sherwood Crescent, Huron County's first Family Planning clinic will go into operation on June 25 at Huron Park. The centre, which will give examinations, prescriptions and counselling, free of charge to any one who requires the service is a federally funded project spon- sored by Huron County. A survey conducted in Huron Park in September, 1973 in- dicated that the average family size in Huron Park was high. There Were all the indicators that there was a need for family planning services in the area, Mrs. Thind, spokesman for the centre said. "Many of the large families were in the lower income group, she said, and there were many single parent families with a large number of children," In response to the questionnaire two thirds expressed a need for family planning for families, as well as young people. Organizers of the family planning clinic felt that many of the people in need of this service in Huron County have inaccurate information about birth control methods, and are hesitant to consult their physician. A sub- stantial number of the respon- dents had doctors in London and several had no doctor at all. Organizers felt that this service should be established. Mrs. Thind Slight damages in town crash Damages of only $100 resulted in the only accident reported this week to the Exeter police department. At 2:15 a.m. Sunday a vehicle driven by Peter Wuerth, Main street, Crediton, left Andrew street north and struck the ditch. Constable James McMeekin investigated. also said that several other agencies, including. Children's Aid, Family and Social Services and the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital expressed an opinion that the public and the county as a whole was in need of a Family Planning Clinic. "In an area where so many young families are concentrated there should be a service for birth control available." Huron County's pilot project will begin with its first clinic on. Hold meeting for rezoning The Huron County planning department held an open meeting at Vanastra Monday night to discuss changing the property on which four three-storey buildings are located in the northwest section of Vanastra from com- mercial to residential. Nick Hill of Goderich was in charge of the meeting attended by Reeve Elgin Thompson of Tuckersmith, the two owners of the four buildings, John Van- Gastel and Fred Ginn and a number of Vanastra residents. Mr. VanGastel cited requests for housing as the reason for turning the four buildings, for- mer officers' quarters when it was a Canadian Forces Base into 24 one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. He estimated it would cost about $450,000 to convert the rooms to apartments. Originally VanGastel and Ginn had planned a sports complex and a hostel for the buildings but this did not materialize. For this reason it has been designated commercial when the original plan was drawn up. The conversion will get un- derway if the amendment to the official plan is approved by Huron County Council and the Ontario Municipal Board. other business, council: Filed a resolution from the Region of Peel asking the province to define the powers and duties of school crossing guards. To this councillor Webster replied, "we don't have a crossing guard, but we sure need one. At noon hour it's grand panic Learned that the updating of the traffic lights at the village's main intersection includes an advanced green signal. Passed a motion asking the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to include all areas of the village in the proposed sewage program. The request for this move came from a Southcott Pines resident Spence Meecham who said if all taxpayers will be eventually paying for these services all should be included in the original plan. In previous meetings, govern- ment officials had said Southcott Pines did not have a pollution problem. June 25. The clinic will be open two evenings a week, one evening for general information and counselling and one evening with a doctor present for examinations. The clinics will be held from 6:30p.m. to 9 p.m. at Oxford Hall at the Agricultural College in Huron Park. Mrs. Thind stressed that all consultation will be strictly confidential And that anyone from any area, either inside or otitside Huron County, will be provided with examinations, guidance and prescriptions free of charge. "We are also trying to reach out to the transient population in Grand Bend in the summer too because we feel there is a real need for this service there," Mrs. Thind said. Mrs. Thind stressed that this IS. designed primarily .as. preventative service, and that anyone is welcome to .come, Appointments for the clinic can be made by phoning the offices on Tuesday or Thursday .evening at 288-6910 or pn non-clinic days, 235- 1004.
