The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-07-18, Page 15By ANNE PINDER Registration is now up to sixty children and both parks are well under way for the coming weeks. Everyone has been practicing Decries lack of civic pride Works superintendent Glen Kells advised council this week that the second application of oil would be put on the streets this week. The program is expected to get underway today. While that may end the com- plaints about dust, Reeve, Derry Boyle suggested there was some need to halt the littering problem on Main St. He said the street was an utter disgrace on a recent Sunday and motorists "must have thought we were a bunch of pigs". He lamented the fact local merchants did not show any civic pride and continued their practice of sweeping debris off the sidewalk into the gutter. He again urged them to sweep up the debris and deposit it in a trash container, "We should also enforce the. litter bylaw a bit more," Coun- cillor Tom MacMillan urged. Kells advised that the street is swept every Tuesday and Friday.

BY ADRIAN VQS My city friend Harry asked me recently why I would like my son to be a farmer, "You people are always complaining that farming is a poor way of investing .yeitr money, You work long and hard,. ThopSa.nds of you are leaving the farm scene each year and yet you want your boy to get into this poor business," "Well Harry, it's this way," I answered, "I 'know both sides of the story, I had city jobs for the biggest part of my life and made some good money top, but when I visited my farm friends I .always was impressed with the way they lived. Compared with the life in the factory, which was boring and uninteresting and there was no layalty to the firms we worked for, farming is alive and always a challenge. In most factories we didn't often know what the parts we were producing were used for. There was very little pride in our product and more often than not we downgraded our own work. The foreman was always hovering in the background and when anyone suggested a better way to do something, he ap- peared to be afraid to adopt it, for the general foreman might think that he should have done the improvement before this, The former on the other hand always tries to improve on his crops or his lives tack, He is proud when his fields are free of weeds or when his livestock gets a high grade when processed. He tries to get as many pounds of meat for as low an amount of feed as is possible and when he succeeds he not only gets a better income but has a sense of achievement he can get seldom anywhere else. On top of this I don't believe that farming will always be a poor investment. With the new awareness among farmers that together they are stronger, and getting better and better organized, the financial returns are bound to get better, As you can see,' Harry, when I encourage my boy to learn far- ming, I do so in the firm belief that a good future lies ahead for him. Of course, as in any other profession, to keep abreast of new developments is the key to a successful farm enterprise and this entails continued study. But the rewards are high, Harry muttered something about his city job not being all that bad and we left it at that. gne of six accidents in- vestigated this week by officers of the Exeter police department involved three vehicles. The triple vehicle mishap occurred Sunday night at the corner of Main and Gidley streets. The drivers involved were James E. Adams, 1490 Beckworth Avenue and Robert Roney and Margaret Roney, both of 257 Springbank Drive, Woodstock. Constable George Robertson investigated and set total damages at $450. A Friday evening accident on Main street at Wellington in- volved vehicles driven by Gerrit Hoogeveen, 481 Ferndale Avenue, London and Thomas Rutherford, Hensall, Damages were listed at $400 by Constable Crediton team loses twice The Crediton juveniles were on the short end of the score in two Western Ontario Athletic Association games played this week, Thursday against Seaforth, the Crediton youngsters were edged 10-9 and Sunday afternoon Goderich was victorious by a score of 15-2. In the Sunday contest, Goderich scored three runs in the first inning and were never headed. Rodger Finkbeiner walked and scored the first Crediton marker in the opening frame and Pat Bedard was safe on an error in the fifth and crossed the plate on Keith Davey's single. The other Crediton hits were singles by Bedard and Finkbeiner, The score in the Thursday game was in doubt from start to finish with neither team able to build up much of a lead. Seaforth scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to take the 10-9 decision. Pat Bedard, Pete Wuerth and Bill Hodge each scored two runs for Crediton while Kevin Bestard, Gerald Weido and Keith Davey notched single runs. Vehicles driven by two Kit- chener ladies were in a collision at the intersection of Highways 4 and 83, Monday morning.
