Gifts presented
Retiring officals praised
small communities are receiving
in the matter of waste disposal,
The preamble to the resolOtl00
noted that most small corn,
munities were not faced with any
complaints regarding their
dumps, but were still facing
pressures from the ministry of
the environment to irnprove
waste disposal procedures,
The only complaints regarding
open burning, Seaforth council
contended, were from those who
had built close to existing dump
facilities,
They also opined that open`bur-
ning presented no significant
danger to the environment in
rural communities,
However, Seaforth claimed
that an incinerator of the type
demanded by the ministry would
probably cost $3 0 0,000 to
purchase and there was little
assistance available,
At the same time, they were
disturbed over the fact "millions
of tax dollars" were being used
to help larger centres with their
waste disposal problem.
This was termed "gross in-
justice" and the resolution
protested this unequal treat-
ment, noting that some of the tilt
dollars being given to larger cen-
tres were coming from small
communities where the ministry
would provide no assistance.
"I'm sorry we didn't write
that," Reeve Derry Boyle said
after the resolution had been read.
"It's a good letter," Councillor
Bruce Shaw replied as it was
quickly endorsed.

Monday night was the time for
farewells at Exeter council and
several members eloquently
paid tribute to Mayor Jack
Delbridge and Councillor Ben
Hoogenboom who will be leaving
council, having been defeated in
the recent municipal elections.
"Your sincere interest and
hard work will be missed,"
Councillor Ted Wright told the
Mayor, noting that the citizens
owed him a debt of gratitude for
his efforts during the past 10
years as head of council,
Wright noted that Delbridge
had never side-stepped any
problem and "hit them fair and
square".
He said he hoped that the
Mayor would "keep in touch"
and act in some capacity for the
town "so your vast knowledge
won't be lost".
"The same can be said of you,
Ben," Wright continued. He said
the local florist had acted to
solve problems in a fair way and
had always expressed his
opinions clearly.
"I hope you too will remain in-
volved," he concluded,
After urging council to get the
sewer project underway next
year and securing the land for
the extension of Alexander St.,
Mayor Delbridge said he ap-
preciated the nice things that
had been said about him.
He said he had enjoyed his
work on council "and will miss
it—no thanks to you, Bruce".
"I can say without reservation
that all calls ,have been dealt
with one way or another," he
continued and noted that it was
not always possible to deal with
IN MEMORIAM —
BECKLER — In cherished memory
of a dearly loved grandson and
nephew, Jon C. Beckler, who passed
away one year ago, December 24,
1973, aged 21 years,
The depths of sorrow we cannot tell
For the loss of him we loved so well
His life was earnest, his actions
kind
A willing hand, an active mind
Anxious to please, loathe to offend
A wonderful grandson and a loving
friend.
Forever in our hearts. — Grandma
and Grandpa Beckler, Uncle Bill and
Aunt Grace Ballantyne 51p
DONALDSON — In loving memory
of a dear brother, Wayne Donaldson,
who left us suddenly three years ago
on December 18, 1971.
Thinking of you today, brother,
But then, that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And the day before that too,
And we will think of you tomorrow
And each day as they come and go.
We will think of you forever
We loved and miss you so.
To know we never said goodbye
Will always bring regret
But the hearts that loved you dearly
Are the hearts that won't forget.
Always loved, sadly missed by
sister Joan and brother-in-law
Scott. 51p

memory of our dear parents and
grandparents, Edna Jane Smith, who

broken when several members
expressed regret that Deputy-
Reeve Helen Jermyn was not in
attendance.
Mrs. Jermyn is back in
hospital, and her condition has
been cited as poor.
"It was the saddest part of the
whole year, that Helen had to
resign," Reeve Boyle com-
mented.
Earlier in the meeting, the
Mayor was presented with gifts
by Councillors Hoogenboom and
MacMillan.
Noting that many members
had been "scared out of their
wits" by the Mayor banging his
pipe on the ash tray, Hoogen-
boom said his gift would bring an
end to that problem.
Delbridge gingerly unwrapped
an ash tray with a cork centre
that deadens the sound of pipes
being banged against it.
"It's a gift from me to you,"
Hoogenboom said, "we're both
losers".
MacMillan said he had a gift
from council and presented him
with another "pipe saver". It
was a small gavel with an
engraved plaque outlining the
Mayor's term of office.
He also gave him a "key to
your future success", noting he
couldn't present the key to the
town.
That gift was a bottle opener.
In his final words to council,
Hoogenb000m urged them to
press for a home for the aged in
the South, Huron area.
"old peOpie don ft want to
leave Exeter and we should put
all sorts of pressures on county
council to have a facility here,"
he argued.
Reeve Derry Boyle said he
would fight strenuously for such
a facility in this area.
Hoogenboom stated it had
'been a tremendous experience to
sit on council and said every
citizen should take the oppor-
tunity.
He offered his services "if and
when you see fit to call on me".
Gets settlement
over 1972 crash
James R. Scott, 34 of Sanders
St., Exeter received a settlement
of $20,000 for the broken left
ankle and face lacerations he
suffered in a two car crash two
years ago.
The injuries were sustained
when his pickup truck was in
collision with a vehicle driven by
Mrs. Mary Theresa O'Brien of
RR 3, Dashwood, at Gidley and
William Streets in Exeter on
November 3, 1972.
Scott's Ontario Supreme Court
civil suit against the driver and
her husband Gerald O'Brien,
owner of the car was dismissed
on consent Friday in London by
Justice J. H. Osier.
The $20,000 which was paid into
court last week to the credit of
the action by the defendants was
ordered paid out to Mr. Scott's
London solicitor who will
forward it to him.
The lawyer, John Makins said
last week that the procedure is
an acceptance by Mr. Scott of a
$20,000 settlement offer.
Makins said that his client still
has a problem and some pain
with the ankle injury and there is
a possibility it will require a fu-
sion operation in the future.
Mrs. O'Brien suffered a broken
arm in the collision of November
3, 1972 in which a fire hydrant at
the corner was knocked over sen-
ding water rushing into the
street.
David Dettmer of Exeter was
a passenger in the Scott vehicle
at the time of the accident.
Complaints in favor of those air-
ing them and also noted that one
map could not make decisions
alone.
He said he had been told off
only a very few times, but warn-
ed Shaw that people still blamed
the head of council for decisions
made by council,
Shaw said that prior to the
election, he had said regardless
of the outcome, he and Delbridge
would still be good friends and
suggested this was the case.
He said it was unfortunate that
the losers are off council
because in Exeter's case it
meant the loss of two good men.
"I would like to see you two
men helping the town and the
people in some capacity," he
stated.
"Your greatest asset is the
knowledge of the town and
people," Shaw said to Delbridge,
"and we should capitalize on
those assets".
_ He said he and Delbridge were
similar in many ways and term-
ed them "right wing reac-
tionaries" who were frustrated
with too many governments.
Delbridge then noted that had
he realized Shaw had such a
"big machine" behind him in the
election, he would have put more
effort into it himself "and the
result might have been
different",
He said there had probably
never been a bigger campaign in
any municipality as the one
Shaw mounted and said "by the
time I found out what was going
de over on Pryde Boulevard' it
was too late for me to get
started".
"That was part of the
strategy," Shaw replied.
Delbridge said he differed with
the opinion of T-A editor Bill
Batten that Shaw was more im-
aginative than he. The Mayor
said he was not too old to be im-
aginative and had always used
the imagination of everyone who
wanted to present anything to
him.
However, he said there were
many people who no doubt had
proposals and opinions and never
presented them.
At this point, Exeter rec direc-
tor Jim McKinlay reminded the
Mayor that there was a good
organization in town for people
"who are retired and have plenty
of free time".
He was referring to the active
senior citizens and invited
Delbridge to join them in their
activities.
Council adjourned mid-way
through the meeting to stage
their annual Christmas party,
with the new members of council
being on hand.
Reeve Derry Boyle proposed a
toast to Mayor Delbridge and
said that in his 60 years in Ex-
eter, he had never seen a mayor
work harder for the people than
what Delbridge had,
Boyle also proposed a toast to
Hoogenboom and hoped he would
be back on coundil within two
years.
The gaiety of the event was
One accident

MAWSON — In loving memory of
our dear little son and brother,
Peter, who passed away December
22, 1973, age 21/2 years.
With farewells left unspoken
You quickly slipped away
Our hearts were almost broken
You had fought so hard to stay.
But then we saw you sleeping
So peacefully, free from pain,
We could not wish you back with us
To suffer so, again,
Lovingly remembered and sadly
missed by Mommy and Daddy,
brothers and sisters. 51p
MAXWELL — In loving memory of a

MAXWELL — In loving memory of
our dear brother, Robert Brian, who
suddenly passed away, December 22,
1972.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
When we are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
Cheer up and carry on.
Each time we look at your picture
You seem to smile and say
Don't cry, I'm only sleeping
We'll meet again some day.
Your place on earth no one can fill
We loved you, Bob, and always will.
Lovingly remembered and sadly
missed by Sandy and Bob Carlile.

dear son and brother, Robert Brian,
who was taken away so suddenly two
years ago, December 22, 1972.
Two sad and lonely years have pass-
ed
Since our great sorrow fell.
The shock that we received that day
No one will ever tell.
But what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
It's lonely here without you
A million times we've needed you
A million times we've cried
To our hearts there comes a longing
If only you could come home
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
You bade no one a last farewell
Or even said Good Bye
You were gone before we realized
And only God knows why.
Sadly missed and lovingly
remembered by Mom, Dad and
sisters, Marilyn and June. 51c
NEIL — In loving memory of a dear
husband, Edward.
God took him home, it was His will
But in our hearts we love him still
His memory is as dear today
As in the hour he passed away.
We often sit and think of him
When we are all alone
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
Remembered by his wife, Mary,
the Cuthill family, the Neil family
and friends. 51c
