In the middle of recycling week
EXETER - You are presently in
the middle of the fourth annual Re-
cycling Week celebrated in Ontario.
On November 3, 1988, there was a
celebration at Queen's Park marking
ithe delivery of the one millionth
.blue box to an Ontario residence.
;That's one third of our population
of residences. Exeter has only 1500
,residences and some of you have
probably wondered why we do not
'have blue boxes.
We are closer to a recycling pro-
gram than we were one year ago.
Time has to be taken in order to re -
•search the needs, options and feel-
:ings of those who pay for such a
;programb(you!). Exeter has been in
:the enviable position of having
time for such an assessment be-
cause our landfill site is not near ca-
pacity. We have, therefore, been
able to explore several possible op-
tions.
Regardless of the option chosen,
you can be sure that the municipal
administration has done its best to
reduce the cost for you by demand-
ing the exploration of all possible
programs. Hats off to all incum-
bent councillors and other officials
for their efficiency.
A program for Exeter is being
formed and it will "fit" this town.
That has been another stumbling
block, since most existing pro-
grams are geared toward larger mu-
nicipalities with a broader tax base.
However, funding programs
through the provincial government
and the soft-drink industry exist to
help us out.
A small series of articles dealing
with a variety of methods of waste
reduction, as well as the timely and
greatly appreciated editorial last
week, have appeared in this paper
over the past month. The rationale
was to increase your awareness of
the extent of the effort that can be
made to minimize waste produc-

Four area accidents
EXETER - Officers of the Exeter
detachment of the Ontario Provin-
cial Police invesigated four motor
vehicle accidents this week.
On Tuesday, November 8 a vehi-
cle driven by Michael Boyle, RR 2,
Lucan went out of control on Hay
township road 5-6 and struck an em-
bankment. Vehicle damage was se-
vere, but injuries were minimal.
MASTER OF SCIENCE - Han-
nah Mary Mathers graduated from
the University of Saskatchewan,
Saskatoqn on October 22, 1988,
with a Master of Science Degree.
Hannah is the daughter of Harry
Mathers, RR 1 Hay and recently de-
ceased, deeply missed, Mary Math-
ers (Larkin). Hannah is presently
employed with Alberta Agriculture,
in Brooks Alberta, as a Research
Horticulturist, specializing in Orna-
mentals. Hannah received a Bache-
lor of Science degree from Cornell
University, Ithaca,. New York in
1986.
Exeter police called
to three accidents
EXETER - Exeter police investi-
gated three accidents in the past
week. Two were two vehicle -
collisions, and only one vehicle was
involved in the third.
On November 9 a vehicle owned
by Tri -County Brick of Clinton was
parked on the side of the road when
hit by a vehicle driven by Anthony
Jones of Huron Park.
Two days later vehicles driven by
Eleanor Davidson, Lucan and Xuan
Lam, Exeter, collided at the inter-
section of Main and Wellington
streets.
The same day, Jennifer flunking-
Stimler, Zurich, abandoned her ve-
hicle while it -was still in motion
when it overheated while westbound
on Thames Road.

vere.

crease pollution levels and reduce
the amount of good land needed for
landfill sites.
Recycling Week was designed to
allow municipalities to celebrate
the successes of their ongoing recy-
cling programs. So what about us?
Celebrate the initiative we have al-
ready taken and put forth an effort
now.
Don't purchase overpackaged
goods (it will even save you mon-
ey). Put a composter in your back-
yard for scraps and garden wastes.
Make your feelings heard by ad-
vising town council, through letters
or ocrsonal communication of your
desire for a recycling program.
Public support is what will make a
program successful. Don't wait for
someone else to give you a push,
take the initiative and get some-
thing going.
