Letter to the Editor:
This letter pertains to our
Exeter. Fall Fair. We have
two small children who since
the Thursday before the fair
had been anticipating the fair
weekend as most small
children do. The only thing on.
their minds were the rides.
Knowing the past history of
Exeter Fair's rides we knew
there wouldn't be very much,
but this year it was the worst
it could have been.
The two rides that were
available for the smaller
children were in our opinion
nothing but safety hazards.
The one ride that our children
did go on broke down while
they were on it. They had to
sit there for approximately 10
minutes while the operator,
who obviously didn't know the
first thing about it, just left
the ride unattended to find
somebody who could fix it.
Our children were sitting
there approximately 10 feet in
the air. In order to fix it they
put cotton candy on the belt.
That was the last straw.
Once we finally got our
childretn down there was no
way we would allow them to
go on the other one.
The point we are trying to
make is if those are the only
rides available to us, ,our.
children would be safer with
none at all. Most children
would have been satisfied
with a pony ride.
We truly hope that
something will be done about
this for the safety of our
children. These rides are car-
rying precious cargo.

Dear Sir:
As a reader of your weekly
paper, I wish to comment on
your editorial of 22 September
1982, regarding the Xi Gam-
ma Nu Chapter of the Beta
Sigma Phi Sorority, a group
of young ladies (not all from
Exeter) who give a great deal
of their -time and energy to
support the Exeter
Community.
Do you think that Simpson's
of London would resent a
fashion show by Sach's of
New York. They would •
display, their own wares to
capture as many of the
fashion show shoppers as they
could, by displaying similar
and interesting styles at their
much lower prices.
The London fashion house
producing thefashion show
does not expect to compete in
any way with the local mer-
chants. A smart suit or dress
at their show could bring
many potential shoppers into
the Exeter stores to see if they
can find a similar style. It can
bring them down to find a col-
oured scarf, a new purse,
gloves, shalt. any number of
accesl4qI' pe to go with
somethldg already in their
closet.
If, I were in the dress
business In Exeter, I would be
front row center at any
fashion show that came to
town. Boycott — such trash.
During these economic
times we should all buy Cana-
dian, but la London not in
Canada Also would your
paper be -willing to take a poll
of all the downtown mer-
chants to see how many of
them were shopping in Lon-
don on their day off.
The people that shop in your
town of Exeter are not all
from Exeter. They come from
Elimville,, Winchelsea,
Kirkton, Woodham, Far-
quhar, Cromarty, Staffa,
Lumley, Thames Road,
Hurondale, Rogerville,
Chiselhurst, Kippen, Varna,
Hensall, Zurich, St. Joseph,
Blake, Port Blake, Grand
Bend, Grand Cove,
Dashwood, Sarepta, Sharon,
Khiva, Shipka, Greenway,
Brinsley, Mt. Carmel,
Crediton, Huron Park, Cen-
tralia, Saigtsbury, and Fran-
cis Town as well as Exeter.
'This may be why there are so
many empty or vanished
stores in all these - small
communities.
Because of their extreme
loyalty to Exeter and Canada,
are we to understand that
from now on all Exeter mer-
chants will spend their vaca-
tions at Morrison Dam. No
more holidays in Florida,
Bermuda, The Bahamas, Las
Vegas, California, Hawaii or
Mexico. We surely will have
lots of money to buy
Canadian.
Why should it be brazen to
request donations for door
prizes from IoCal merchants.
Do these Sorority members
not belong to this community
and for that reason alone, is
not the greatest portion of
• their buying done in local
stores.
Dry goods, drugstore, fur-
niture, garages; grocery,
hardware, service stations,
shoestores, stationery, as
well as dress shops, and even
the Times Advocate. Are you
going to -throw the Simpson -
Sears order office out of tgwn
because theirli'eadquarters is
Toronto of'Q»cago. =
•
The threat to tjeny support
to the Sottiritjr'for door prizes
as a rebuff to'tlorganization
that by your 619n admission
has served the community
well is a lame game.
This fashion show can do
nothing but boost local
business. The only thing that
will hurt local business and
your newspaper is your undu-
ly critical article. Maybe the
resident's of the outside com-
munities listed in this letters
should do a little boycotting of
their own.
Sincerely,
Mrs. C. G. Heppler,
Box 141, Dashwood, Ont.'

Dear Editor:
I would like to extend
through you a "Thank you" to
Bob Trotter for his column
"One Foot in the Furrow". He
tells the producer's side the
way it is and more accurate
than most. He shows a keen
interest in the health of
agriculture in Canada.
If everyone not involved in
agriculture could read his
comments there would cer-
tainly be a better understan-
ding. Most farmers would
welcome a 6 percent increase
instead of the near 17 percent
decrease they could be facing.
As a farmer I appreciate
the calibre of reporting by
Bob Trotter and hope he
keeps ontelling the way it is,
also telling farmers when
they are wrong.
I don't know if Mr. Trotter
is eligible by the Exeter Coun-
cil for recognization, but he
would get my vote for serving
the farming community in an •
honest and helpful way.
Sincerely,
Kay Elder

Dear Bill;
People are unemployed. In-
dividuals and companies are
short of work. Everyone is
looking for a way to make
ends meet. If this is so, why
is it so difficult, to get work
done!
Eight weeks ago our
children cracked a large ther-
mal glass window pane.
Within 15 minutes I called
Dashwood Industries to re-
quest a service for window
replacement_ It took three
weeks to have the pane of
glass properly measured and
there is still nowindow in
sight.
Businesses in this area
would do well to make con-
sumer service a priority.
Folks who receive prompt,
cheerful results return to give
more business. The end result
is good for the whole com-
munity. It is a never ending
circle.
I am sending off a similar
noteto Dashwood Industries
and there are other services
in the community that would
do well to realize that the con-
sumers expect results. It's
time we let the business peo-
ple, large and small, know
that service is important no
matter how small the job or
how seemingly unimportant
the customer.
Sincerely,
Margaret L. Hern

I am appealing to the peo-

It takes time to plan these
