*issues heating up
The most recent meeting of Ex-
eter Town Council seemed to be
a little more heated than usual.
Read the stories on the front page
and judge for yourself. The
present term is almost over, sev-
eral council members' are not •
coming hack • and . an election is
slated for November. •
This. is a great time for anyone
with something to offer to step
forward and play a pan in the op-
eration of their community. :The
next term will be extremely chat-
lenging as every town or town -M
ship will he facing difficult deci-
sions, • particularly with
downsizing and amalgamation. in
Exeter. council is being reduced
•and to- seven members who will
be elected for the next term.
•Royal tragedy
The life and death of Diana, the
People's Princess; has been cov-
ered -by all segments of the media
more thoroughly. than any story 1'
remember. -
in Exeter Dr. Linda Steele was'.
campaigning for the :removal of
the trashy tabloid newspapers
from store shelves. Her actions
appeared to he•successful- for,
now. but my guess is they'll be
hack -on the news racks soon. The
public appetite for sleazy mu. rn
ism has created a fortune. f

the readership is there the to

• Love those weddings
Getting invited to an Out-of-
town wedding was pretty excited
for a couple of area women. The
got to the _church early and had
good • seats for one of .the mos
,beautiful weddings they had eve
seen...the only trouble was 'they
didn't seem to know anybody
"We're early". one lady .said tc
her friend. "The wedding we
want must he the, next one.'
Again, they. saw another great
wedding but still didn't see any-
hody they knew. Suddenly they
realized they were at .the right
church hut ahead of schedule by
me week.

•Hall damage
Being in the wrong _place at the •
wrong time is the only".way to de-
scribe a sudden hail -storm and
the damage it can cause in just a
few minutes. We were part of
the action when hail stones the
size of golf balls pelted buildings
and vehicles on Miple Lake (near
Haliburton) recently., It's times
like this when you really appre-
ciate your insurance company:
Local State Farm agent George
Marr said he had a client that re-
. ported he "broke even" during a
tornado. He lost one driving shed •
but gained a hen house.
•Pet peeve
1 had a chance 'to listen to a
group of hard core shoppers
voice their pet peeve recently.
They all agreed it is being inter-
upted by the telephone when.
they're in the middle of making a
transaction. One person said she
waited 10 minutes while the clerk
checked on delivery of merchan-
dise to the caller . Retailing ex-
perts emphatically suggest the
customer who is actually in the
store should always get priority
over someone who calls on the
phone.
