A recent provincial govern-
ment survey on co-operatives
reveals that Exeter Co-op is
"typical" of the average under-
taking in Ontario, Hon. C. S.
MacNaughton said at the opening
of the local group's retail store
Friday.
The survey, the Huron MPP
said, indicates the average co-
op has a gross volume of $500,
000 net earnings of about
$11,500, and assets of about
$75,000 exclusive of buildings.
"On the basis of the above,
it would indicate that the Exeter
Co-Operative represents the
'typical' Ontario undertaking,"
MacNaughton said. "The last
statement of Exeter co-op in-
dicates that volume amounted to
approximately $500,000 with net
earnings of $11,500 and assets
of about $237,000."
The Huron MP noted total
sales by all co-ops in the pro-
vince during the past year a-
mounted to $154 million, ex-
clusive of other revenues from
services such as grinding and
mixing.
Mr. MacNaughton outlined the
services provided co-ops by the
government, stressing the loan
assistance, of which the local
group took advantage recently.
He congratulated the mem-
bers on the spirit and enter-
prise represented in the new
facilities.

won the inter-county seed judg-

proved his proficiency again by
capturing the Huron champion-
ship in the seed fair contest
at Wingham Saturday morning.
The Belgrave youth, last
year's .4-li citizen, posted the
highest score of 465. Runner-
up was Ivan Howett, also of
Belgrave, with 445.
Only 13 juniors competed this
year, a far cry from the more
than 100 who entered in pre-
vious contests. The drop was
attributed to the Saturday morn-
ing time, which prevented the
boys coming up in carloads
from the county schools.
Seaforth high school was the

tition.
Winner in the junior class was

the town welcomed the pro-

recalled that when the busi-

many persons predicted the en-

added with a chuckle: "I wish
more businesses in Exeter were
'finished' in this manner."

occasion for all of the enter-

significance of the day more
than the man who cut the ribbon.
"Mr. Co-op", Edgar Mon-
tieth of Exeter, was obviously
the happiest man at Friday's
ceremony. One of the founding
fathers of the local organiza-
tion, he had helped to guide the
co-op through early periods of
distress,
"We had some difficulttimes
when some of us lost a lot of
sleep," he told the crowd, re-
ferring to the fire and financial
problems which hurt the co-op
in earlier years. Mr. Montieth,
it was revealed by program
chairman Ray Morlock, had in-
vested considerable personal
funds to tide the enterprise over
monetary difficulties. "I was
heart and soul in the move-
ment," Mr. Montieth said with
a proud smile.
Chairman Morlock gave a
