He suggested the matter be referred to the county's planning board for con- sideration. Goderich's deputy-reeve Bob Allen made a motion that the matter be referred to the county's planning board to consider what ac- tion will be taken.

Thank you, Glenn Kells Blind Canvass Chairman To the Electors of The Town of Exeter I wish to thank again all those who sup- ported me in the recent municipal election.

A vehicle driven by Mary Horenberg, R.R. 1, Kirkton, left concession 12 of Usborne north of the Kirkton Road and, struck a pole, Constable Don Millson ins vestigated and listed total damage at $1,000. Icy roads were partially blamed for the two Sunday collisions, In the first, a vehicle driven by ' Kevin Geoffrey, Zurich, skidded on ice on Highway 84 and went into the ditch. Damage to the vehicle was listed at $500 by Constable Giffin. In the other Sunday colli- sion, a vehicle driven by Todd Case, Alvinston, struck an icy patch and hit a bridge on Stephen sideroad 20 west of concession 3-4, Damage was estimated at $700 by Constable Millson. Mark Ormandy, Dashwood, a passenger in the vehicle, sustained minor injuries, The engineering firm of B.M. Ross and Associates continue to investigate the expansion of Exeter's sewage treatment facilities,- an issue that is expected to result in one of the major decisions for the new coun- cil. In a letter received by council this week, the Goderich firm indicated they were investigating seven expansion options with each being reviewed with respect to land area re- quirements, capital and operating ! costs, treatment efficiency, operational flex- • fi r Liquid wastes Area drivers had a taste of winter driving conditions during the past week and at least four of the seven ac- cidents investigated by the Exeter OPP were partially due to poor road conditions. There, were three ac- cidents on Friday, the first when a vehicle driven by Donna. Glanville, Exeter, went into a skid on the Crediton Road about 4,5 km. west of Highway 4. and struck a hydro pole. The driver sustained miner injuries and damage was set at $1,6 0 0 by Constable Ed Wilcox, Vehicles driven by Michael VanRaay, H.R. 3, Dashwood, and Jeffrey Den- nis, R.R. 2, Zurich, collided on. Highway 83 west of Ex- eter with damage in that one being listed at $1,200 by Constable Don Mason, The other Friday collision occurred when a vehicle driven by Lloyd Brintnell, H.R. 6, St. Marys, struck a Bell Telephone junction box on concession 12-13 of Usborne Township, 6.4 km. south of Highway 83. The vehicle rolled.' over and damage was estimated at $1,200 by Constable Wilcox.

Continuous discharge of the existing lagoons by dis- charge through a pipeline to Lake Huron. 2. Construction of an ad- ditional nine-hectare (plus or minus) conventional lagoon cell. This would be adjacent to the existing lagoon cell§ on the south side. 3. Construction of an ad- That is a pretty good showing, according to Jim Schnaar of the auditing firm of Ward and Gregory, who said that some Credit Unions in Chatham and Windsor, for instance, had , only two or three per cent dividends, while others paid none becau'se of the tough economic situation in those cities, including a number of bankruptcies. The total income for the year for the combined branches was $2,973,256, up from the $2,419,562 of the 1979 fiscal year, which ended on September 30. Total ex- penses were $1,741,222 compared to $1,173,001 last year, with most of the dif- ference being extra interest paid out in term deposits throughout the year. Although membersahip climbed to 7,560 up from the 7,370 of last year, share capital declined to $10,832,988 down from the Inaugural Continued from front page person on Highway 83 West (the local cemetery)". The former mayor, moved to tears when he was named citizen of the year a couple of weeks ago, said he had the same response when a lady appeared at his home on Saturday and presented him With a single rose. "That was the fulfilling moment of my 16 years of political life," he said. He advised council members they would have to make decisions that at times may not be popular but promised that, unlike some former council members, he would not second-guess their decisions but would accept them gracefully. Clerk Liz Bell ad- ministered the oath of office to the council members and the Public Utilities Com- missioners. After the formal ceremonies, Shaw presented Boyle with a pin that had been prepared by Councillor Jay Campbell, a local jeweller. During council comments later in the meeting, most members indicated they were looking forward to the coming term and wished each other well and called on fellow members to work together for the betterment of the community.

"Our investigations are $11,509,897 of the 1979. The difference was more than made up for by a leap in term depostis, which jumped from $4,684,161 to $7,540,033. In his address to the meeting, president of the board Ernest Williams said the Credit Union will be installing an on-line com- puter service early in the new year, and hopes to have it fully operational by May. This will greatly speed up the processing of customers accounts and will allow both the revival of the customer passbook, should the mmembers want it, and will allow a branch to be set up in Blyth. A 390 name petition was received earlier this year from Blyth asking for Credit Union in that village because of the poor service from the only other bank. \ The Exeter branch had been moved in the summer, Mr. Williams noted from the old town hall to the former McKnight's Men's Wear Store in which the Bank of Nova Scotia used to be located. The large vault in the location is much more to the insurance company's liking. The Credit Union has leased the building with the option to buy. Liquor charges up in month Liquor charges were high again last month according to the report submitted to Exeter council, Monday, by Police Chief Ted Day, His report for November showed a. total of 14 charges under the Liquor Licence Act and two people were charged with impaired driv- ing. Other statistics were as follows: eight accidents with damage of $2,800 and no in-, juries, 10 drivers charged and 10 given warnings under the Highway Traffic Act, four parking tickets issued, five charges under the Nar- cotic Control Act with two being possession for the pur- pose of trafficking, four thefts of under $200 with total loot of $180 being stolen and $10 recovered and one charge laid, three break and enters with loot of $493 and no recovery, four incidents of damage to public or private property with the damage amounting to $30. During the month, the of- ficers recorded 33 hours of overtime, 12 being for court time. Pagel: .TImee,Advocoto, December 3, 1910 Winter conditions referred to the health problems created by the Love Canal site and the dump in Hamilton which have made news headlines in recent months. Dr, Lynch said he is also concerned because the Ministry of Environment is considering dropping the chlorination of human waste. He said he would sup- port an inquiry into the ministry's intentions and suggested that information received by the county's planning department be referred to the department of health. Dr. Lynch indicated it is not unusual for the ministry to act so secretively. He said a friend of his who is a Medical Officer of Health in Brant County., learned that a plant to process PCBs was to be located in his county on the television news one even- ing. Jack Stafford, deputy- reeve of Howick, who raised the question concerning the Huron site at the council meeting, suggested the county council pass a recommendation that the county does not approve of a waste disposal site in Huron. "We don't want their dump here", he said. "We're an agricultural area." Clerk-treasurer Bill Hanly suggested council would be drawing attention to Huron if they passed such a recommendation and if the province cannot go ahead Continued from front page soefritetnhceemandaplasuspended small amount of marijuana orderedPrObatiur furea cohn e to make' aak;nd( was involved.

"Option (7) could have some potential and is also being seriously studied." The firm said' they were discussing all the options with the ministry of the en- vironment, option (4) with Canadian Canners and op- tions (6) and (7), with the University of Guelph. In addition they are work- ing to establish what benefits there might be in attempting to eliminate some of the extraneous flows (non-sewage) which enter the system. "We have established that the capacity of the Ausable River to accept treated effluent does not impose any significant growth restric- tion on Exeter. The only re- quirements will be that the effluent phosphorus and 'hydrogen sulphide levels must be controlled and the effluent discharge must be proportioned to stream flow. The latter requirement is the basis for needing ad- ditional storage.': The firm indicated they will have a more complete report in three to four weeks. MAIN ST.
