Zereter4 - Continued from page 4 in providing services to the blind of their communities. It may be of interest to every- one to know that in Exeter and district the proceeds of the 1966 campaign were $1,056.17, which is most gratifying. We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to the various news media of the district for their generosity and excellence of publicity which supported our 1966 Appeal for funds. Sincerely, Jack Clements, District Field Secretary. Larry Snider, Campaign Chairman. To The Editor, The Exeter Times-Advocate. I would like to express thanks and appreciation to all those who supplied horses, cutters, sleighs and bells for the opening of Exeter Centennial Activities on January 2. Some fifteen rigs took part in the horse drawn winter parade. Besides the local entries, we particularly were appreciative that our neighbouring town of Hensall brought four winter ve- hicles. Bob and LH Baker came dressed in period costume and drove a fancy horse in cutter. George Beer, Harry Armstrong and John Sangster each brought light teams and sleighs which added greatly to the color and interest of the parade. A word of thanks should also go to the members of the Exeter Rover and Boy Scout troops Who acted as town criers and bell ringers to proclaim and announce the New Year in Exeter. It is apparent that interest in our Centennial activities is Off to a running start, I am sure that all of us will look forward to participation in future events to be hold throughout the year to celebrate our Centennial Birthday Party.

Later on reapers were used to nut the grain but it still had to be bound into sheaves. Next the binder made its appear- ance using wire instead of twine to bind the sheaves. Since the thrashing machines were intro- duced power was supplied by an arrangement known as horse power. lie remembers when the railroad known as the London, Huron and Bruce was put through in 1875. As a final step in con- structing the line the locomotive moved very slowly with the nav- vies working ahead of it putting the rails in place. Then there was the collision of two trains a little south of Hensall in the early eighties with both loco- motives being thrown off the track. This event happened late in the fall and the locomotive remained there until the follow- ing spring. In 1884 he drew loads of sand for the manse in Hensall and two years later in 1886 did the same for the church. He joined Carmel Presbyterian Church in the spring of 1890.
