"You deserve a moment in
the limelight," Mayor Bruce
Shaw commented, -in regard
to the many volunteers who
were on hand Monday night
for the annual civic banquet
held to honqr local citizens
who give their time and
talents to the various boards
and special committees in

However, after the many
volunteers' -were recognized
for their contributions, it was
the Mayor who was really in
the limelight as he was given
special eecognition • for his
leadership over the past four
Years. •

to make his -farewell address
to the community. •
He noted that one of his

Another of his platforms
was to improve the
relationship between Exeter
and the surrounding com-
rhunities, and he• said con-
siderable headway was
being made in this regard,
particularly with Stephen
and Usborne.
-"There's a place here for

- "I think we can go farther
yet," he 'suggested.
Other campaign objectives
that he felt had been fulfilled
were more efficient and
effective council meetings, -
the necessity for planning in
the community/keeping the
public informed and to be a
credit to the town in
representing them as mayor '
at various functions.
He said the atter was one
of the biggest tasks and he
said he tried very hard to
convey the image of
someone who speaks

In reference to some of his

he said. While noting that
public officials do ,take a
certain anjount of abuse and
criticism, Shaw said the
rewards were good.
He singled out several
people for special mention,
Including Wally Burton,
described as a "good Alan"
from whom to seek advice •
because, he was always
honest, and Jack Under-
wood, who Shaw described
. as a man who had difficulty
saying no when asked to do
something and deserved
appreciation for his- hard
work. '

his push to get the sanitary
sewer project completed and
also in being responsible for
the. concepti of a building
code and building bylaw.

around," Shaw said.

earlier this year and hoped
to devote more time to them.

reading and relax. I'm really
tired."

concerned that some people
in the community were
fearful that incoming mayor
Derry Boyle would not be
able to handle his task.

suggested, quickly adding
"but not as good as the last
