Murray Baker was master of ceremonies for the contest and gave a brief rundown on the beards and their owners, John Deeves' report indicated his "really attracted women" while Baker said that Knight had started to grow his New Year's eve when he really didn't know what he was doing, ated Hensall for the fine program and the new pavilion. "Things such as this just don't happen," he said, "they happen because someone makes it possible". He said it bodes well for the future of the country that people across Canada have joined to- gether to hold similar festivities and programs." $,The future residents of Hen- sall will be thankful for the fore- sight shown in 1967," Mr. Mc- Kinley stated in his brief re- marks at the ceremony chaired by Harold Knight, The latter noted it was an honor to have Mr. Stewart pres- ent. The proceedings started with the Friday night horseshow, fol- lowed by dances for the young and old in the arena and the PARADE WINNERS The judges had a most difficult time to pick out the best entries — Please turn to page 8 the elaborate rig were Reeve Minnie Noakes, centennial com- mittee chairman Harold Knight, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc- Kinley. Features of the two-day event were two giant horse shows (re- ported elsewhere), a fashion show, car bash, beard contest and official opening of the picnic pavilion at the park. Hensall's centenarian, Duncan Stewart, had the honor of cut- ting the ribbon to the new pavilion after a plaque had been unveiled by Huron MP Robert McKinley and MPP C. S. MacNaughton. Mr. Stewart marked his 100th birthday at Huronview earlier in the year and with a bit of as- sistance made his way to the ribbon to do the cutting. Mr. MacNaughton congratul- Hensall's centennial celebra- tion. was one of the last held in the district, but most people agreed it was well worth waiting for-,especially the parade. Over 150 entries were in the Saturday parade held in con- nection with Frontier Days and it was one of the largest parades ever held in the district, Heading up the long line of floats, bands, majorettes, hor- ses, bikes, old tyme cars and other entries was a large stage coach owned by George Beer and driven by Bob Baker. The stage once made its Way over area roads and has been put back into excellent shape by its owner, who has won several centennial parade prizes this year.

MERNER REUNION The 15th Merner annual re- union was held Sunday, July 15 at "Merhaven Farm", Arnold Merner's Sr., of Zurich. During the afternoon the sports com- mittee, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Merner, ran off a few races for the younger children, and all took part in the softball game later on in the afternoon. After supper was served, president H. Schilbe of Zurich had a brief meeting. The oldest person present was Mr. Wes Merner of Zurich, and the young- est was Jeff McConaughy, Cinci- nnati, Ohio; coming the farthest distance was Mrs. Sally McCon- aughy of Cincinnati, Ohio. Election of officers took place. President for 1968 is Ron Stuck- hart, Kitchener; secretary - treasurer, Mrs. Helen Merner, Kitchener; sports committee, Mr. and Mrs. G. Tiemen, Dash- wood; kitchen committee, Mr. Ron and Milford Merner, Dash- wood. It was decided to hold the 1968 picnic at the same place. After the meeting closed entertainment was provided by 10 year old Bob Reschke Jr. of Dearborn Heights, Mich., on his accordion, and his sister Diane on guitar playing many songs and favourite numb- ers. Members of the clan attended from Clinton, Windsor, Dash- wood, Hensall, Hayfield, Exeter, London, Elora, Detroit, Hamilton and Cincinnati, Ohio. Batt'n Around — Continued from page 4 filling our basket, but this hope was quickly dispelled. The cherries were covered with a deep layer of spray that indicated one little bite would have been deadly. Needless to say all the cherries we picked ended up in the basket. The female instinct—being more suspecting than that of the male—led the better half to the theory that the cherries probably weren't sprayed to fight off in- sects or fungicides, but rather the human pickers. We'll have to admit the theory appears plausible, because it was obvious the cherries had only been recently sprayed and the humans swarming around the trees greatly outnumbered the insects. Looking back on the days of our youth, pest spray was one problem we never faced in the bean field, but come to think of it, raw beans never did get on our list of delicacies. WRIGHT REUNION The annual Wright reunion was held last Sunday at the Lions Park Seaforth, with a large crowd in attendance. After the dinner meal the election of officers was held. Lorne Ross was returned as president, as was the sec- retary-treasurer, Mrs. Laura- belle Reichert. Mr. and Mrs. Chris Baillie and Mr. and Mrs. Percy Dalton are on the sports committee for next year.
