Centralia will be
home for Tanzanians
On Saturday September 25 at
noon, RCAF StationCentraliabe-
came "home" for a group of
Tanzanian Peoples Defence
Force personnel and Officers
of the Royal Malaysian Air Force.
Sixteen Tanzanians disem-
barked from the RCAFCosmo-
politan aircraft into a bright
but cool windy Western Ontario
autumn day. These Officer Cadets
will be at the local air station
for approximately 8 months. They
will first be selected as pilots
or technical officers, proceeding
to the Language Training School
where they will become familiar
with the technical vocabulary ne-
cessary to their training. Another
12 weeks of indoctrination and
fundamental training at the Cen-
tral Officers School will be fol-
lowed by approximately 12 weeks
at the Primary Flying School,
where they will receive instruc-
tion on the Chipmunk trainer.
The 15 Malaysian Pilot Of-
ficers, graduates of their own
service college, completed along
11,000 mile, 4 day journey via
RAF Transport Command from
Singapore to London, England.
Steam engine
will visit area
Railroad buffs in the area will
get a thrill October 16 and 17
as the last operating steam en-
gine owned by the Canadian Na-
tional Railway, Number 6218 will
make a run from London through
Exeter, Clinton, Goderich and
return. Officials indicate this will
probably be the last run for this
engine through this area.
The train is operated by the
Michigan Railroad Club of De-
troit and will not have a rigid
schedule.
It is estimated the engine will
pass through Exeter about noon
on Saturday and return about
noon on Sunday.
The day of the steam engine is
definitely passed. The lack of
coal and water facilities make
it difficult to carry on any ex-
tended runs.
Exeter resident
for 21 years
Mrs. Chester Mawhinney, '74,
a resident of Exeter for the past
21 years, died suddenly at her
home on Carling Street on Thurs-
day, September 23.
She was the former Ettie Fahr-
ner of Stephen Township and fol-
lowing her marriage to Chester
Mawhinney they farmed near
Crediton until moving to Exeter
21 years ago.
Surviving besides her husband
are two brothers, Everett and
Emmery Fahrner,both of Credi-
ton, two sisters, Mrs. Roy Fink-
beiner, Crediton and Mrs. Mabel
Ewald of Kitchener.
The funeral service was con-
ducted by Rev. S. E. Lewis on
Saturday, September 25 at the
Hopper-Hockey funeral home
with interment in Exeter ceme-
tery.
Pallbearers were Messr s.
Austin, Wallace and Calvin Fahr-
ner, Harry Squires, Everett Bet-
chen and Clarence Wurm.
The RCAF Transport Aircraft
flew them from London to Mar-
ville, France, where they con-
nected with the overseas run of
the Trenton based Yukon aircraft.
Another step brought them to
Centralia where they will com-
mence their pilot training at the
Primary Flying School im-
mediately. Upon completion of
their course they will proceed to
the Western training units at
Gimli and Moose Jaw to continue
training on light transport air-
craft. •
Good harvest weather was at-
tributed to the drop in attendance
at the Zurich Fall fair Monday
afternoon as farmers worked to
complete an already late bean
harvest. Attendance at the fair
dropped by about 350 persons to
an attendance level of 1,000 this
year.
As usual, a colorful parade
marked the opening of the fair
led by the Clinton Legion pipe
band. Marching school children,
gaily decorated bicycles, farm
equipment, floats, decorated cars
and an old steam engine all com-
bined to hold the attention of the
crowd despite a cool breeze which
forced most visitors to wear
coats. The brightly dressed Zur-
ich Lions Club Majorettes added
to the color of the parade.
The prize for the best decorat-
ed bicycle went to Alvin Millick
while Barry Hess had the best
decorated tricycle.
Whitney Coates and son of
Centralia and Hoffman Brothers
of Dashwood were the major
winners in the Hereford cattle
class. Alex Edwards of Arva
took most of the classes in the
Angus show while Frank Falcon-
er of RR 5 Clinton was the major
winner in the Shorthorn section.

all prizes in the Oxford sheep

Grand Bend Council last Wed-
nesday, refused a request from
the Property Owners Associa-
tion, for a change in the by-law
so that an advance poll might be
held prior to the municipal elec-
tions in December.
The vote was four to one a-
gainst the advance poll. Council-
lor Orval Wassmann was the one
person to favour it.
Arrangements were made with
Glen Manley, PUC superintend-
ent, for six fluorescent lights
on Oak Street to replace the
smaller lighting fixtures instal-
led there. He also will prepare
for Christmas tree lighting in
blue this year, on the tree at the
south west corner of the main
intersection.
Constable Ray Gilleno appear-
ed before council to suggest a
set of movable stop signs to use
at the corner in the event of a
power failure during which the
electric stop lights would be out
of use. Before he left, council
took the opportunity, with Murray
DesJardins, clerk, acting as
spokesman, to present a twin
desk lamp to Mr. Gilleno. The
at her home Wednesday night.
Mrs. Laurie McKellar and baby
daughter returned home from
Seaforth Hospital Monday.
Mr. & Mrs. Laverne Wallace,

ger Pauli of Mitchell spent the

of Essex and attended the ball
game in Detroit Sunday.

constable is leaving the village
after three winters and five sum-
mers stationed there with the
OPP.
Leases of occupation (or r‘wat-
er lots") on the beach were dis-
cussed at some length, Though
there has been a sign advertis-
ing one of the village hotels, and
a business of boat rental, on the
beach for the past two summer
seasons, council became sudden-
ly aware of its existence, and
plans to write to the Department
of Lands and Forests to see if
permission for billboards and
signs on these water lots exists.
A mutual aid system for fire
protection is under study and
Grand Bend may have the choice
of belonging either to Lamhton
or Huron systems, or as Reeve
Stewart Webb predicted, likely
to both, if desired.
Word is received that plans
for a $58,000 addition to the
Grand Bend school has been ap-
proved, and a London contractor
has the contract. They also re-
ceived word from Stephen Town-
ship School Area Board that in
the $438,000 planned for the new
Crediton school, is included $50,-
000 for a garage and for buses.
Net profit for the bathhouse
and parking lot for this year is
recorded at a total of $1,394.09
— about $100 less than the year
before.
In the 15-year, 1950-1964per-
iod spending by all governments
In Canada rose from $290 per
capita to $760 per capita.
