When Carol Duchatme, an employee of one of the phar- macies in town heard the question, she wanted to know how much the postal workers would be getting if they accepted the present government offer, Upon hearing that the average salary would be around $6.20 an hour, she responded briefly,but to the point, "How do you apply for the job?" Ben Hoogenboorn, owner of Exeter Flowers, was one of the more vocal persons interviewed. He responded from an in- dependent businessman's point of view. "Lots of times I don't make the $1.70 an hour if I count all of the hours that I work, I think that its time that we get these guys back to work or else replace them," "What I'm saying is that if they're not happy, then they should go out and get a job where they have to hustle. This strike is detrimental to the economy, especially for businessmen like myself who really depend on the mail for cheques to come in. Almost 80 percent of my business is paid by cheque." At this point, he held up a bundle of unpaid bills, emphasizing that the pile would be much smaller if the mail was going through. "I think that there are quite a few post office workers who are going back to work", he, said, referring to the fact that several union locals across the country have voted to return to work and have done just that, despite the national situation, "I think that the Exeter post office should set an example, although I realize that because of the situation, there is not much work to get back to." At this point, the T-A phoned Henry Dyck, an inside postal worker in Exeter, and asked him for a comment. He preferred not to comment on the issues of the strike, but did make a statement about the local situation. "We were at the meeting at Stratford on Saturday with union president, Joe Davidson, to see if we could go back to the bargaining table once more. At the meeting, we said that we would back him up for another week, anyway. After that, we will see what other union locals are doing and also try to determine how the public feels about it." Andy Markson, who works for the Exeter Travel Centre, joined most of the others interviewed in the opinion that the workers should return to their jobs. "The whole country is trying to get together to cut down on prices. Vrn.not making as much " 'as 'they' are now, but I'm doing all right." "I think that a lot of uriem- ployed people are eager to get their hands on those jobs, He also felt that the present postal system and service could be improved. "I've said this before and I'll say it again, "commented a smiling Marian Wasson, "that's plenty of money. They should take the offer and go back to work." Bev Turner, a computer operator at the T-A, had a similar comment. "Let's put it this way, it sounds like pretty fair money to me. I'd say go back." Joe Davidson, if you're listening out there, Exeter's citizenry has spoken.

The guest speaker for the evening was Robert Paddy Young, a decorated veteran of World War II and presently headquarters sergeant for the London Police Department. Born in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, Sgt. Young first served as a police constable in Ulster. When the second world war broke out he served with the 707 bombers squadron and later as a commando paratrooper, and was stationed in almost every imaginable area of the European theatre before the war came to a close. Twice he was captured and put into enemy prison camps, and twice he escaped. He joined the London Police force in 1953. His topic for the evening was police work as related to the law of the land. Sgt. Young prefaced his speech with an acknowledgement to the veterans present. "Without the law and enforcement of it by the police forces of this country, the things that you fought for and some died for would soon be usurped by the law of the jungle which is present already in some cities", he said, After spending considerable time relating the structure and functions of Canadian law to his audience, he cautioned them to beware of the permissiveness that he said is currently per- vading the social atmosphere of Canada. "There is a serious revolution in this country today. There are people intent on bringing down our present moral standards by deliberately defying the law. Within the last two weeks, we have witnessed an open defiance of our legal system" He related freedom to his concern, saying that the right to live unmolested and to enjoy life was being infringed by those who are intent on bringing down the system, The policemen of this country feel directly the nation's pulse and it is not a healthy pulse which presently exists." "Crime is definitely on the upsurge, especially indecent acts", he said. He added that the majority of crimes being com- mitted today are by people under 25 years of age. "Kids watching the violence on T.V. and in the movies that are produced today go out on the streets and try to recreate what they have wit- nessed," Sgt. Young then outlined several tips which he said would help police if observed by the citizens of a community. He emphasized the importance of persons marking their prized belongings so that in the event of theft they could be positively identified and used as evidence in court. His second tip was to be involved. "If you witness a crime, please report it to the police. You are our eyes and ears," His third request was that the various church and com- munity organizations in a community should spend the time and take the interest to provide proper instruction and guidance to the impressionable young through healthy community activity. "Never badmouth a policeman in front of your children. If you do, you are destroying everything you believe in and fought for before the eyes of your children" Sgt. Young concluded his message with the reading of an editorial written by Bob Talbert, a journalist with the Detroit Free Press, His remarks were made back in 1968 during the chaotic times of civil disorder in that city. It was an emotional piece, stressing the thankless job of a policeman. It concluded with these words. "Apathy is perhaps stronger than at any other time in our cities, If we as citizens do not support our police, then the only OPP report one accident The Exeter detachment of the OPP reported only one accident this week. It occurred on Sunday around 2:45 a.m, on Hay sideroad, 15.16, half a mile east of conc. 12 and 13, The accident involved only one vehicle, which reportedly struck a fence owned by Benjamin Masse. Paul McInnis, RR 3 Dash- wood, was the driver of the vehicle. He escaped injury, but damage to his vehicle was estimated at $1400 to the roof and both sides. According to the report, the vehicle was westbound when the driver lost control, with the car rolling over before striking the Masse fence. Const. Bill Lewis investigated. 28 James St. — Continued from front page London and graduated there in Behavioral Science and Mental Retardation, worked in three group homes before serving a six- month internship at CPRI and moving to Exeter. She believes exceptional people have much to teach the rest of us. "They're very honest with their emotions," she says, "they let you know how they feel; emotions other people usually hide." According to Miss McLellan the group home helps exceptional adults integrate gradually with the community. Evenings and weekends they learn basic home management; the everyday affairs of cooking, menu planning, and shopping. During the day the residents take courses at the Adult Rehabilitation Centre, Dash- wood. Mary hopes that the combined effort of both training programs will enable the residents to grow independent enough to leave the group home, perhaps take an apartment with another ex- ceptional adult, and hold jobs of their own in the community. But she believes there is no need to rush. The average stay at 28 James St. is two years and the first thing the new family must do is get used to each other. thing that we can expect to receive is the tragedy of darkness and loneliness." Sgt. Young received an emotional ovation from his at- tentive audience. The colour officers were or- dered to "bring in the colours" and another Remembrance Day came to a close in the proud town of Exeter. Youths' story found untrue Upon further investigation, the Exeter OPP have determined that an incident involving two youths who alleged they were being chased by a man last week was substantially different in character from the way the youths had described it. According to this week's police report, it was found that the man was pursuing the youths for purposes of identifying them after they had pelted him with stones. Last week the two youths had alleged to police that the man had chased them on the night of -Nov. 2 anck that, they .had-tteared= the possibility of foul play.
