More than a half ton of corn on the cob and 600 hot dogs were gobbled up by the large crowd. According to Greb, originator of this event, interest in private flying is on the upsweep in tile province and particularly this area. In the past couple of years about 25 local residents have received their private licences. Enthusiasm is not confined to the male section, as three area ladies have permits to fly. Mrs. Bob Forrester of Zurich and Mrs. Ken Elder and Mrs. Har- old Elder, Hensell area, are fully qualified plane operators. In ad- dition, Steve and John Elder, respective sons of the last-men- tioned ladies have completed in- struction to ensure plenty of fliers in their families. In Sunday's event, participants flew in from many points in On- tario including Toronto, Windsor, Owen Sound, Thornhill, Chatham, Ridgetown, Buttonville, Bramp- ton, Orangeville, etc. The local airport was named Sexsmith after the early settlers of the area who built the original school and church in remem- brance of the tiny hamlet they left in England.

That they accomplished Tues- day of this week, taking all of the eight first prizes possible in the Dorset Horned class. In addition their entry of four lambs was judged best of all breeds in the entire sheep show at the Ex. cop- ping the Freyseng trophy. It was the third time the Dearings cop- ped this trophy. This marks the 35th year of competition at the Toronto show for the Dearing stock and with the continued enthusiasm shown by Preston and son Gerald they will continue to take the majority of prizes. SEPT. 3 at 4 ewfr ReAvre WELCOME TO THE RODEO 212 Miles West of Exeter on Huron Street A Professional Show The Town of Exeter welcomes visitors and participants in the third annual Rodeo that is unique in this part of the country. A continued public support is necessary to permit it to grow in scope so that the event may become a tradition for which Exeter is known far afield. Every such effort is bound to bring benefit to the whole town and its citizens . There is still a fair amount of spring grain to harvest due to catchy weather. A few farmers have pulled white beans. Some of the pods are short and may reduce yield potential. Pastures are looking and producing very well. A fair amount of land is being prepar- ed for feel wheat. Grain corn yield should be pleasing if we can get sufficient warm weather to finish it. Sil- age corn should be satisfactory.
