Opposition promise aid
The leaders of the two op- help Exeter council in their unconditional grants to
position parties in the Ontario battle to thwart attempts by municipalities.
Legislature have promised to the government to reduce the Reeve Bill Mickle, chair-
man of the finance commttee,
._- along with the town staff,
have suggested that changes
proposed by the minister of
municipal affairs and housing
could reduce Exeter's annual
grant from the province by
$150,000. They note that could
result in a tax increase of
Iabout $100 per local
household.
"I am pleased to tell you
that the New Democratic
Party Caucus supports the
position of the Town of Exeter
on this question " wrote NDP
Leader Bob Rae.
Liberal Leader David
Peterson also replied, saying

The Reeve said that the
blank expressions which
greeted his comments in-
dicated that some Huron
municipalities may not be
aware of the effect of the pro-
vincial government proposal.
"Some are not aware of
what may happen to them,"
Mickle opined.
He went on to tell his fellow
council members that rumors
indicate that the grant struc

Dobate whether (winning worth the .ffort
Some trustees and ad-
ministration can't agree that
the savings from twinning
several separate schools in
Huron and Perth counties is
worth the effort.
To prove his point that sav-
ings from twinning schools
could be turned over to pro-
gram costs for these schools,
the director of education,
William Eckert , suggested
the $20,000 savings realized
this year from tentatively
twinning two schools be turn-
ed back to those two schools.
St. Joseph's separate school
in Clinton and St. Mary's
separate school in Goderich
have been sharing a principal
since school opened this
September. The board will
have a replacement for St.
Joseph's former principal
Don Farwell. (Mr. Farwell is
Crash, theft
investigated
Damage amounted to $1,100
in the only collision in-
vestigated this week by the
Exeter police department.
It occurred on Friday and
involved vehicles driven by
Christopher Merner, RR 1
Hay, and Vince Krainz,RR 2
Ailsa Craig. The mishap was
on Main St. near John and
was investigated by Con-
stable Jim Barnes.
He is also investigating the
theft of a 1980 Ford van from
the 30 Sanders St. W.
residence of Dirk Coolman.
The vehicle was taken around
2:45 a.m., Sunday, and has
not yet been recovered.
Police Chief Ted Day in-
dicated the theft could have
been avoided perhaps had
people who later reported see-
ing a man acting suspicious-
ly called police.
He repeated a previous
comment that the police need
the assistance of the public to
curtail criminal activities.
"If you see anything
suspicious, such as persons
loitering at night or a
suspicious vehicle in your
neighborhood, please call the
police department as soon as
possible and get the descrip-
tion of the person or vehicle
and relay that information to
the police," he urged.
He also advised that the of-
ficers have issued a number
of warning tags to motorists
who have been improperly
parked (such as over night or
parked facing the wrong way)
but that the warnings will be
terminated and tickets will
now be issued to offenders.

Conception school in Strat-

January.
But meanwhile, the two
schools have been sharing
principal Jim McDade,
$20,000 of a principal's salary
has been saved and Eckert
suggested the money, or part
of it, be turned over to the two
schools.
Trustee Vincent McInnes
said while the idea sounds
good, he didn't want a prece-
dent set in case schools were

"I don't understand. When

Louis Maloney, noting that

Damages high,
injuries aren't
While damage ran high in
two of the three collisions in-
vestigated by the Exeter OPP
this week, there was only one
minor injury reported.
That ,occurred on Sunday
when a vehicle driven by Joel
Hill, Exeter, left Highway 83
east of Exeter and struck two
trees. The driver sustained
minor injuries and damage
was listed at $5,000.
In another Sunday crash,
damage was listed at $850
when a vehicle driven by
Douglas Armstrong, Exeter,
struck a fence on Huron
Street East after leaving the
road. The fence was on the
property of Andy Bierling,
RR 3 Exeter.
The other crash occurred
on Friday when vehicles
operated by David Glavin,
RR 2 Lucan and John Drury,
RR 3 Ailsa Craig, collided on
concessiod 2-3 of Stephen at
the Mt. Carmel Road.
Damage was estimated at
$8,000.

He also complained it ap-
peared to be a rather rush
job.
After being reminded that
Exeter has only one of the five
votes on the matter, Mickfe
said that if the proposal is put
intoeffectbefore -ter gets
the .answers it_•. ,t then
the town should t rout and
refuse to pay towards the
system until such time as the
answers are forthcoming.
Police committee chairman
Gaylan Josephson explained
he had been unable to attend
the October meeting when the
proposal was discussed, but
said that reports he had
received indicated that some
of the information was inac-
curate as it pertained to the
number of fire phone calls
handled by the Exeter & Area
Fire Department.
"We need some answers
before making a decision,"
Councillor Bill Rose com-
mented and he gained support
for that position when he put
it in the form of a motion.
"There are a lot of ifs,"
Rose added.
As the discussion came to a
conclusion, Mayor Bruce
Shaw asked Mrs. Chapman if
she would like to state her
concerns over the situation
and she replied that she was
reluctant to do so at that time.
Shaw then suggested the
committee meet after the
council session to discuss the
matter further.
The report from the Oc-
tober meeting of the five
municipalities indicated that
an official from the Ontario
Police Commission technical
services branch was of the
opinion the fire calls of all five
municipalities could be handl-
ed by the police communica-
tion system.
Representatives from Clin-
ton, Seaforth and Wingham
stated that they had no cur-
rent plans to have their fire
calls answered by the system
which is located in Goderich,
but wanted assurances that
they could hook in later if
they so desired.
Goderich Police Chief Pat
King said he had checked
with several other police
departments with similar
communication systems and
all replies he had received in-
dicated that fire calls could be
handled under the system
with no problem.
He said he was of the opi-
nion that there was greater
safety for the general public
if professionally trained
dispatchers handled fire calls
rather than the members of
the firemen's families who do
it now.
News reports from the Oc-
tober meeting in Goderich in-
dicate that Mrs. Chapman
questioned the accuracy of
Chief King's statistical report
on the system and said there
were too many unanswered
questions to give a yes or no
answer to the Goderich pro-
posal at that time.

automotive world. For it is one thing
to craft the ideal German sedan. And
yet another to craft the ideal German
sedan at an ideal price.
Simply, the Jetta is a car people
can afford, that affords people
the qualities one expects of German
engineering.
For it offers a rare combination
of performance, handling and
efficiency. While the Jetta's rack-and-
pinion steering, MacPherson struts
and independent rear suspension
take curves with the greatest of ease,
its 4 -cylinder, fuel -injected engine
provides thrilling performance as it
deftly cuts corners at the pumps.
Should people care to make their
economical Jetta even more eco-

engine is available at no extra cost.
