Darling's Homemade All Freezer Beef Sold With Money Back Guarantee ,.1.19 Limit 3 Per Family Park project head upset with council The Exeter Community Park grounds development committee will attempt to raise the $10,000 needed to complete the soccer pitch and current phase, but com- mittee chairman Don Cameron reported this week he was discouraged by the comments and apparent at- titude of some members of council. In a letter to council this week. Cameron said that ,,Mayor Bruce Shaw was ap- parently the only one on , council to show some sen- sitivity and understanding for the grounds project up to this point. He said the criticism was not regarding council's deci- sion to reject the com- mittee's appeal to them for the $10,000 needed to com- plete the project. He suggested the manner in which the committee members were rejected is more difficult to accept. "Our committee and' its work is not above criticism," he wrote, "but is this how your council shows appreciation to its citizens for their efforts to improve our town's facilities? The former council member said the committee had spent many hours of dis- cussions and meetings try- ing to bring the various in- terest groups together and to a- get community cooperation. "But when our town leaders level criticism for . our efforts and attempt to make us appear irresponsi- ble it is even more difficult to encourage the help we need," he stated. Cameron noted that coun- cil had given unanimous ap- provals for the work along the way. even though he had advised them there was an element of risk in soliciting the funds needed for the se- cond phase because of the large single expenditure for the agricultural building. "We thought we could make it and so did council. Well, we didn't quite make it but council has been only too quick to ignore the fact that it was they who committed town funds for a new floor in the building. We did not in- clude that item in our fund raising or budget com- mitments but we are being blamed for it as part of the deficit. The floor was a good idea. but not one member of council was prepared to br- ing out the fact that our com- mittee was not responsible for the cost of it. Cameron added that while council's support has been appreciated. "it hurts us to realize that despite the ap- provals council gave us along the way that they seem so quick to shift the blame for this deficit entire- ly on to us." The development com- mittee will accept the "pay as you go" approach to the final phase, which includes the soccer pitch, the chair- man reported and added that hopefully they will find enough interested people to help complete the project. "Sadly, it seems, to find those interested people we will have to look somewhere else besides our council chambers," he con- cluded. After the letter was con- sidered, Councillor Lossy Fuller gained support for a motion to send a letter of thanks to the committee for their efforts to date and to encourage them to carry on. Later in the meeting, Mayor Shaw and Councillor Bill Mickle presented a suggested set of guidelines to be followed in the project to mark council's concern with the costs and planning commitments. Deputy -Reeve Alvin Epp said, that in tight of Cameron's letter, he would like more time to consider the guidelines and his mo- tion to table the matter until next meeting was approved. The guidelines suggested were as follows: 1. All development phases are to be clearly stated, and the estimated costs of each is to be accurately calculated. 2. Funds for each phase are to be in piace prior to commitments to that phase. 3. The Executive Com- mittee of Council will act as the liaison to the Grounds Development Committee and will approve funding. 4. No work whatsoever will be undertaken in the Community Park without the knowledge and consent of the Grounds Development Committee. 5.

Shirley Cooper is president Employment picture Continueu from front page Exeter employment office was very busy with unem- ployment insurance ap- plications and she noted it is taking up to seven weeks to receive the insurance because of the increase in applicants. McKee noted there were a lot of people interested in retraining programs but that the number of people in- volved in the programs had not increased significantly. She said that the office's registration statistics are often inflated by people registering with more than one employment centre and some who are registered have already found jobs and not reported to the centre. She added that not all people seeking employment register with the centre. For January of 1982, 1.285 people were registered with the centre, of which the figure of 923 were registered as unemployed. This has increased from 681 people registered as unemployed in 1981. of the ladies fair, Shirley Prance Is vice-president and Maxine Sereda is the secretary.

Salaries for the director and superintendent of education for the Huron - Perth Separate School Board have been referred back to the personnel committee. At the last board meeting of 1981, the board approved a 6.4 percent increase for the director of education. This would increase his 1981 salary of *46,500 to *49,500. The board also approved a 7.3 percent increase for the superintendent of education, raising his 1981 salary from *41, to *44,000. (Earlier figures reported were in- correct.) Director of education William Eckert said the offered salaries were "respectfully declined" and he asked for the matter to be sent back to personnel. Trustee Ron Murray after requesting a recorded vote on the motion (referring the salaries to the personnel committee), said he thought once it had been discussed and approved in a general meeting, the issue was closed. Trustee Ron Marcy said similar situations had happened in 1981. The motion was approved by a vote of 9 to 3. Voting in favor were ustees Marcy, William Kinahan, Lorraine Devereaux, Vincent Young, &nest Vadnerschott, Ted Geoffrey, Ray VanVliet, Jeannette Eybergen, and Greg Fleming.
