Xinsmen, sponsors of the day fed over 400 at their chicken bar beetle at Riverview Park bu attracted less than 100 to the dance later in the evening. The Lions horse show, in which prizes totalled several hundred Oilers, drew a disappointing crowd durhig the afternoon, Al- though there was excellent com- petition in most events, atten- dance was much below expecte. Weather for the holiday was good, although slightly cool. Many farmers took advantage •of the day to bring in their hay. Exeter Kinsmen were unable to present their log roiling and canoe contests at Riverview Park because they could find no contestants, Exeter Legion Pipe Band, however, entertained the crowd with numerous selections, Although all the hunter prizes al Exeter Lions Horse Show Were „won by London district ,riders, local horsemen captured a number of the western events Monday afternoon.

Centralia ie The Thses,Adveos ntario.1.1R:cipes • ..ne Other Glean -in By Fit) G. J. CARPENTER Haveyou ever heard anyona expressing dislike or this area and voicing strong opiniona about what part of the anatomy it is analogous to? Probably you have, and feel that the complaints are in most respects unnecessarY. The climate is good, though frustrating for aircrew. The smelt fishing is good. Grand. Bend is the Cote d'Azure 01 On- tario. London is just far enough away to be interesting, large enought to be entertaining, and small enough to permit easy dri- ving. The roads are good and people are friendly', Still, I hear someone saying "give it back to the Indians." Now we have reached the crux of the problem and may proceed at a brisk pace. Those people who would give Centralia back to the Indians have a big job ad their hands. Apparently the Indians felt the same sentiment toward Centra- lia that 1 have associated with the unappreciative few mention- ed in, the first sentence. The Indians didn't like it. The reason, in fact, has also puzzled the archaeologists of Canada, In a report on the archaeolcigy of South Western Ontario, Thomas Lee of the National Museum says of Huron County: "This is a re- markably sterile county." (arch- aeologically, of course.) One wonders• why some enter- prising young Indian didn't com- prehend the enormous potential of Grand Bend as another Riviera and have it ready for the tourist trade from France in 1600, Think what a far reaching effect it would have had on our culture and TV if Radisson had been feted on the white sands of the end lake share instead' of being ft to eat his own leather jacket, entertained only bk the plaintive rumblings of his stomach in some temporary housing erected by the Hurons. Just why the Indians avoided this area . is hard to say, Per- haps game was scarce, or maybe it was a no man's land between the Hurons on the North East and the Neutrals on the South. Possibly the elevation was lower and most of the area- was covered with swamp. in any case, one of the closest discovered prehisto- ric villages is near London on Medway Creek. grade nine piano.

Much of it may be seen today in the Royal Onta- rio Museum at Toronto and in the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa. PETRIFIED WOOD These Indians belonged to the Neutrals, a branch of the Iro- quois culture.
