Service EXETER 235-2322 No financial committment Cite need of area co-operation Give moral support to sports complex Following a lengthy debate, Monday, Exeter council gave their "moral support" to the committee studying the possibility of building a sports complex for South Huron. However, they made it clear they were in no way committing themselves financially and also expressed strongly the need for all area municipalities to become involved if the complex is to be a reality. RAP chairman Gord Baynharn appearing on behalf of the com- mittee, said a meeting held in Exeter two weeks ago had drawn a "good cross section of people" ty would still- be standing 25 years from now. "I don't think a complex is top priority," the Mayor added. Discussion halted at this point with council agreeing to support the idea of a complex in principle to facilitate further investiga- tion. thing on the head" complained that the original committee hadn't done a selling job on the other municipalities at all and he suggested this was the next step before anything further was tackled at all. I3aynharn replied that letters had already been sent to neighboring councils asking them to name a representative to attend another public meeting on October 22. Delbridge wondered why a new committee was needed, Councillor Bruce Shaw said the first committee had determined only that a sport's complex was a good idea and a new committee appeared to be that a new com- mittee should be formed to con- tinue the investigation farther, He indicated there may be some expenses involved, such as travelling costs, etc., but emphasized there would be no architect'$ fees included. Baynham estimated the costs at from $3,000 to $4,000 and suggested all communities represented on the committee would. share them, However, he said later in dis- cussion they were not asking for any money at the present.

The parking authority has met already with council's police committee to discuss some areas of parking, but it was the opinion of Reeve Derry Boyle that they should not be involved in any parking regulations on Main St. but just for off-street parking. Exeter council turned down a suggestion this week that they submit a bid on a lot owned by the late Willa Browning. Several councillors thought the lot, which fronts on William St. and runs adjacent to John would make a good lot for parking. It was offered by auction yesterday, Members figured it would han- dle about 32 cars. Parking authority member Bill Batten advised council that he and fellow members Bob Fletcher and Jim Hennessey had not discussed any possible purchases. He said the parking authority members were in no position to Truck needs major repair We Specialize In Custom Slaughtering and Processing To lndividanl Requirements Cattle Hogs are Government Inspectez in our Modern Abattoir for Your Protection. Subdivision approved SLAUGHTERING ON MONDAY ONLY All Processing Guaranteed LOCKERS FOR RENT By Month or Year make a recommendation until such time as they had reviewed the entire parking situation and had formulated an overall plan. "It would appear to have some possibility (the Browning lot) but it would just be a stab in the dark," Batten told council. Ben Hoogenboom said he was ' of the opinion the lot should be purchased and presented a mo- tion to that effect. However, it was defeated. Later in the meeting, Coun- cillor Tom MacMillan pointed out to council that in addition to not having officially notified the three members of the parking authority that they had been ap- pointed, council had neglected to outline their duties to them. "We didn't outline their duties and it's a very important part of the thing," MacMillan com- mented. This prompted further discus- sion, with council coming up with no clear-cut instructions for the parking body. Councillor Ted Wright suggested the authority should GEORGE E. BULLOCK George E. Bullock passed away suddenly in West Wawanosh Twp, near Lucknow on Tuesday, October 1, in his 67th year. He was the husband of the former Dorothy Vincent of RR 3, Zurich and father of Mrs. Russell (Donna) Thompson, Lucan; Elide Mae, deceased, John of Grand Bend and Eldon of Peterborough. He was the brother of Mrs. Fred (Clara) Lewis, Mrs. Wilbert (Nola) Lewis, both of RR 3, Ailsa Craig, Mrs. Carmen (Verna) Lovie of Grand Bend, Mrs. Jacob (Iva) Lagerwerf, RR 8, Parkhill, Mrs. Audrey Desjardine of Palmerston and Mary deceased. He is also survived by five grandchildren. The funeral service was held at the T. Harry Hoffman Funeral Home, Dashwood. Interment was in Zurich United Church Cemetery Pallbearers at the funeral were Fred Bullock, Jim Pickering, Ken Lovie, Stan Lovie, Harold Vincent and Jerome Ducharme. Flowerbearers were Larry Lovie, Bob Lovie, Ken Clark and Allan Smith. Rev. B. Guy and Rev. E. Wattam officiated. A truck purchased by Exeter council a year and a half ago for $2,250 will get repairs in the immediate future estimated at $2,000, The 1959 model dump truck which is used for sanding pur- poses during the winter months will have the entire motor rebuilt to correct a situation where it is now blowing oil from the rear two cylinders. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said the tires and body were good on the truck and said the vehicle would be tied up for two weeks undergoing the major repair job. Councillor Ted Wright sup- ported undertaking the work, noting that it was still cheaper than buying a new truck. • "It's no good the way it is," added Reeve Derry Boyle. The work was approved by council. Recover car, nab suspects All music is a hymn of praise, a song of thanksgiving, a chant of faith, was now needed to explore further such things as publicity, financing and what would be in- cluded in the complex, He said many of the original committee would be named to the second group. Delbridge, suggesting "we should creep before we walk" said plans for the complex should start out small and added again that the communities around Ex- eter were needed to assist. He questioned if the communi- ty could afford a complex, He was told by recreation director Jim McKinley that if all municipalities assisted the grant sources could be multiplied as each would be eligible for capital grants towards the complex con- struction. "They can get a grant without spending a buck?" Delbridge asked. When he was told this was the case, he said people were evidently crazy in Toronto and Ottawa, Shaw said that was how Kin- cardine and Ripley were working it and Reeve Boyle suggested that was the method employed to build the Kirkton-Woodham cen- tre as well. Ratepayer Gerry McAuley also questioned if the community could afford a complex and suggested there was a duplica- tion of facilities such as an auditorium when there were already three in local schools. He also questioned if the com- plex could be self supporting as had been indicated when the new University of Western Ontario complex was costing $100,000 a year to operate. "We're too small to support it," he argued, noting that Ex- eter also had a lot of other major projects coming up such as the sewer program, a new well and a new water tower. "Perhaps we can't afford it," Shaw replied, but added that wouldn't be known until the facts were all presented as to grants available. McKinlay said he had it from good sources that grants will be substantially increased next year for recreation facilities. McAuley quoted one area coun- cillor as saying that he wouldn't put one red cent into a complex in Exeter and indicated this was the feeling of his entire council. McKinlay, telling council that recreation can no longer be con- sidered a frill item with early retirements, shorter work weeks and-longer life spans, said people had to have something to do with their increased leisure. He made some comment about the condition of the local arena and the Mayor replied that he was willing to bet the local facili- Drain rebate is refused A motor vehicle reported stolen Wednesday, October 2 at 5:30 a.m. from the JF Farm Machinery parking lot on Thames Road East was recovered later the same day. The vehicle was spotted in Thamesford at 10:30 p.m. by Constable MacDonald of the Woodstock OPP detachment. Four occupants of the vehicle were returned to Exeter and charged. They will appear in court at a later date. Friday evening a vehicle driven by Douglas Easton, RR 3, Exeter went out of control on Ex- eter's Main street near the bridge and went over the em- bankment. Constable Alex Balazs in- vestigated and estimated damages at $300, A Sunday accident on William street involved a vehicle driven by Glen Rohde, RR 1 Woodham and a parked vehicle owned by Donald Harvey, 122 Empress Avenue, Huron Park, Damage was listed at $195 by Constable Balazs. At 9:30 p.m. Monday, a loaded trailer owned by Guenther- Tuckey Transport dropped off the tractor on ,Highway 4, near the Highway 83 intersection. Exeter police officers were on the scene for several hours direc- ting traffic until the trailer could be replaced • on the tractor. Constable George Robertson attended.

The property runs parallel to Crediton's Main street behind the existing built up area on the north side of the road. The subdivision will include a new road with lots located on each side from the westerly edge of the present Charles Browning Sr. Property to the easterly side of Crediton Community park. A severance application from Fred Walker at part of lot 3, Lake Road West Concession was given tentative approval.. Council granted a building permit to Ken Lovie to erect a storage building costing $2,000 on his Shipka property. Stephen animal control officer Harvey Hillman has been in- structed to act quickly on all stray dogs and make pickups without issuing any further warnings. Drain inspector Lawrence Dietrich was authorized to continue with repairs at the bridge on the Coolman farm at Lot 8, Concession 1 to relieve erosion problems.

Two tile drain loans ap- plications totalling $14,000 were accepted, Council meetings for the months of November and December will begin at 7:30 p.m: on the first and third Tuesdays, The Exeter PUC failed in their attempt this week to get a rebate on the storm drain recently in- stalled on Nelson St. to serve their new water tower and also the town's new works department building. Council had previously decided that cost of the storm drain would be split 50-50 by council and the PUC. However, the PUC now argues that it would be fairer for them to pay only the 50 percent for the portion up to the westerly limit of their lot, Works superintendent Glenn Kells explained that the storm drain had to be put in deeper to accommodate the PUC and Councillor Tom MacMillan added that larger piping was also used for the same reason, and this was why council had set the 50-50 split.

Exeter council this week ap- proved an amendment to the contract allowing for the in- stallation of a specially designed oval pipe on a portion of Anne St, Cost of the special pipe will increase the contract price by about $6,000, Last week, council let the contract to C,A. McDowell for $147,017.68, well below the most recent estlinate of $170,000. This week's change was requested by engineer 1#.1q. Ross after he explained that a portion of the drain on Anne St. would be too high unless the special pipe was used, "It makes sense tome to spend the extra amount, because we couldn't even repair the road unless we used the new pipe," Councillor Ted Wright advised, Page 2 Times-Advocate October 10 1974 ADAMS Heating Sr Cooling, • Heating Systems of All Types INSTALLED, MODERNIZED and MAINTAINED • General Sheet Metal Work • Air Conditioning • Humidifiers • Ventilation 235-2187 133 Heron St. East, Exeter • Resort Lions adopt nursery The Grand Bend Lions club has adopted the Grand Bend day nursery school as their project in conjunction with "World Lion's Service Day" beginning October 8.
