Editor: Exeter Times-Advocgte,
Dear .Sir,—
In your issue of June lOith an ar
ticle by W. H. Johnston, regarding*
expenditure of Horticultural funds
in which he mentions me as an as
sociate auditor with him for some
years. I would just like to add my
approval 'to Mr. Johnston’s state
ment. I can positively vouich for what
he says: "Every penny was used
solely for the beautification and im
provement of ou.r town.
I might also add that at the or
ganization of the Society we were
also a part of 'the Parks’ Board
committee, associated with W. 'G.
IVIedd, W. H Dearing, S. J. Hogarth
all of whom gave unstintingly of
their time and labor in the interests
of making Exeter a town to be
•proud of and without receiving any
remuneration. May I suggest any
who have an interest in this grand
and glorious village of Exeter could
not invest a dollar to better advan
tage than becoming a member
the Horticultural Society.
Yours gratefully

than half a mile around a field by
three horses was the painful exper
ience which ‘befell John Turner. Mr,
Turner, who farms just west of
Clinton on the Huron road, was
hitching his horses to a cultivator
when they took fright and wMe
plunging around the cultivator be
came entangled with a quantity of
spare fence wire which also caught
Mr. Turners feet so that ,he was
able to extricate himself.
Turner’s son was working in an
jacent field and was able to halt
horses. Dr. T. G. Thompson, who
was called to the scene, found the
victim’s injuries were less serious
than at first feared as no bones were
broken. Mr. Turner is suffering
from bad flesh lacerations and
bruises and will be laid up for some
time.

Above you see “le docteur”—as his five little friends call
him—with his new 1937 Chevrolet Coach, fifth Chevrolet
he has owned. “I get as big a kick out of this new model,”
he tells us, “as I did out of the first car I ever bought
—that good old Tour-Ninety’ you people built, back
in 1916!”
We’re happy Dr. Dafoe chose a Chevrolet. And we are
proud that most people prefer our car. The fact is,
Chevrolet has led in sales for 3 of the last 4 years.
