Ladies discuss value of humor MR. AND MRS. ERNEST VOLLAND Pair wed 60 years number may be increased. The girls are being sponsored by local businessmen. Three e m in e n t judges from such distant points as Exeter and Zurich have been engaged. It has been reported that two of the judges have a keen eye for beauty so there should be no disputing their decision. (If there is any dispute, two local newspapers may be without editors next week.) The Queen will reign through- out the many activities listed for Saturday, which include a giant parade with the Exeter Legion Pipe Band and the majorettes from Zurich. Events will include snowmobile races, pony rides and races and decorative floats carrying the contestants from the Queen con- test. Highlight of the day will be a snowshoe race when area reeves and mayors accept the challenge of Hensall Reeve Minnie Noakes as she sets out to prove the supremacy of the fairer sex. Reports indicate she has asked the Snow Queen and her attend- ants to line the course. She feels this will suitably distract the male contestants. To date, Hay Reeve John Cor- bett has tossed his coon-skin cap into the race and Exeter Mayor Jack Delbridge will be set for the winner-take-all (all what?) battle. Reeve Corbett was heard to remark at his Monday council meeting that "I'm not afraid of her", but one member suggested he should be given a head start in view of his short legs. Mr. Corbett indicated he had been practicing his snowshoeing and had reached such a high de- gree of skill he may even things up by running backwards. Mayor Delbridge, who recently purchased a new Maple Leaf tartan jacket for the event, has hinted he studied racing forms while on a recent trip to Florida. Another possible candidate will be Zurich Reeve Leroy Thiel, although some Hensall residents have suggested that no one from Zurich could come close to matching strides with anyone from Hensall. It is not known whether Mr. Thiel will show up in view of that prognostication. Other logical contenders would be Elgin Thompson, Tucker- smith; Ernie Talbot, Stanley, Roy Westcott, Usborne; James Hay- ter, Stephen. However, it has been suggested that the latter two would need a ,hard pack of snow to carry them. Several candidates have ex- pressed one fear; they may be too worn out from the race to enjoy themselves at the upcom- ing Good Roads convention.

Batt'n Around -- Continued from page 4 well looked after and will be left with a very favorable impression of Canadians. Officials have studied past world fairs and have attempted to overcome some of the problems encountered that displeased visitors. At Expo, for instance, you can make reservations to visit the various pavilions, thereby avoid- ing lineups. Well informed guides and hostesses will also sit down with you and plan your entire day to correspond with your interests. There will also be electronic signs around the vast sight in- forming visitors of what pavilions have lineups and which don't, so you can know exactly where to go. Even if you do get into a line- up, they will have travelling min- strels comprised of amateur Canadian talent who will arrive to perform music, magic and other entertainment to make your wait an enjoyable one. In addition, you may rent a gadget which fits over one ear and which picks up messages from underground wiring ex- plaining the reason for the de- sign of the pavilions in that particular area, as Well as de- tails of the exhibit on the in- side. This enables you to better understand the architecture and to decide whether you want to go inside. There are several rest areas where you can stop and give your feet some sympathy. In- teresting is the tact they are built below the level of the rest of the site and so all the noises go right Over your head. As We mentioned last Week, it is impossible to list all the features of Expo in a column, but we trust we may have an- swered some of the important questions this week. We'll continue to bring you
