The Listowel Banner
reports that Hugh Edighoffer
rom,,ped to another easy
victory in the Perth riding in
the election, June 9, beating
his closest opponent by 12,143
votes.
Edighoffer, the Liberal
candidate. was re-elected to
his fourth straight term in
office, winning the largest
• plurality of any candidate in
the election. He gathered
18,200 votes, bettering Con-
servative Vivian Jarvis' 6,057
and New Democrat Carson
McLauchlan: 2,166.
The same paper reported
that for the second year the
local' Rotary Club is spon-
soring a Bike-a-thon to raise
money for club service work.
This year it will be held at the
arena on Friday evening June
24, the night before the annual
beef barbecue.
The competition, which
takes place on stationary
exercise bikes, gets un-
derway at 6 p.m. with a half
hour time limit for each
contestant, and ends at 10
p.m.
The club is asking young
• and old alike to take part but
are looking to the younger
members of the community
for support as the Rotary bus
is frequently involved in
getting hockey and ball teams
to out-of-town games.
Last year there was some
problem with entrants who
were able to spin the wheels
of the bikes and rack up
heavy mileage with the result
that some sponsors were
faced with excessive amounts
to pay. As a result the club
this year has set a limit of $2
from each sponsor.
The Zurich Citizens' News
told its readers that a
decision by the Ontario
fit Municipal Board has
provided Huron County with a
clearer definition of
4 agricultural land, according
to county planner George
Penfold.
The OMB supported an
appeal by Stanley Township
to prevent a land severance
approved by the county land
division committee.
Until now, said Penfold, the
committee has had to rely on
its own discretion, with no
• rules on just what is con-
sidered agricultural use.
The case involved a farm
owned by Doug Cook of
Hensall on the boundary line
between Stanley and Hay
townships. Cookapplied to
the land division committee
last May to sever a small lot
with an extra home on it from
. the rest of the 168 acre farm.
Township objected to the
plan.
Cook, who is semi -retired
and does not live on the
property, then proposed to
sell the lot plus three acres to
a man who wanted to raise
horses on it.
He contended that would
allow it to be classed as an
agricultural severance and
the land division committee
agreed.
Stanley Township decided
the severance was not proper
and took the matter to the
OMB.

The OMB said the area is
designated rural agricultural
and all the lard around is
used entirely for agricultural
production and related uses.
It said the soil in the area is
of very high quality and said
the man who is interested in
buyirig the three acres con-
siders that raising horses has,
been a hobby and that it has
not been a money -making
operation.
In its decision, the OMB
said public meetings in the
township on the subject of a
secondary plan itldicate a
consensus favouring a desire
for more stringent
protection on agricultural
land and the allowance of
fewer severances.
The Exeter -Times
Advocate published a report
saying that Exeter Police
Chief Ted Day asked local
residents to help the
department curtail the ac-
tivities of youngsters who
have been setting fires at
several locations.
He said anyone seeing
youngsters playing with
matches or playing in
laneways or at the rear of
local stores should call the
police.
During the past week, four
incidents have . been in-
vestigated and while damage
was minimal in each, a
considerable danger did
exist.
On Friday night, a fire was
started at the rear door of
Hopper -Hockey Furniture.
The door was scorched but
the fire apparently died out
before any serious damage
could occur. '
A camping trailer parked
beside Graham Arthur
Motors was also broken into
early Saturday morning and
the curtains were set on fire.
The curtains burned about
half way up.
Two fires were also
reported along the wooden
fence behind the Bank of
Montreal property.
Chief Day noted that the
incidents could have been
serious and suggested
parents should 'warn children
about the dangers of playing
with matches and setting
fires.
Seaforth's water rates are'
just ridiculous, according to
PUC commissioner Gordon
Pullman. Pullman made the
statement ' at. the PUtt
meeting held earlier last
week, the Huron Expositor
reported.
The remark came in a
discussion about people
within the town limits seeking
to drill wells and sub-
sequently disconnecting from
municipal water service.
The PUC received a letter
from Seaforth resident, Kurt
Stryker recently in which
Stryker indicated that he
wanted his water rate
reduced by half or he would
drill his own well. At a special
meeting, May 20, the com-
mission voted not to reduce
Stryker's water rate.
Mayor Betty Cardno said
no one should be able to drill
and use a well when the PUC
provides water service.
Pullman disagreed. He told
the commission it was up to
the water department to keep
rates low enough that people
will want to make use of the
PUC's service.
Pullman said the rates for
water in Seaforth are
currently much higher than
in other nearby
municipalities.
The Wingham Advance -
Times reports that there were
two grand openings in that
town last Friday night.
The new Wingham Day
Care Centre officially opened
and the Jack Reavie
Workshop for mentally
handicapped adults cut its
ceremonial ribbon.
The Mitchell Advocate
reported that a 19 year old
student pilot from the Poplar
Hill Reserve, 80 miles north
of Red Lake, died suddenly on
Sunday when the light air-
craft he was flying crashed in
4-H judging contest
the ditch along the highway
two and a half miles east of
Mitchell.
Dennis Suggashie died as
his plane burst into flames
upon impact with the ground.
A spokesman for the OPP
in Sebringville said that the
investigators are guessing
that Suggashie must have
stalled the aircraft.
Apparently the plane's engine
quit about 200feet in the air,
which may explain why
Suggashie was not able to
escape from the aircraft
before it cras.hed.
According to the OPP the
crash occurred at 1:20 p.m.
Sunday. Murray Dalrymple,
chief of the Mitchell district
fire department said that a
call came in shortly after but
the firemen had no ,chance to
save the victim's life.
Suggashie was piloting a
Cessna 150 from Cowan's Air
Service near Stratford.
