In the under four months class, the winner was Kevin John, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Varley, 430 Marlboro St., Exeter, The runner-up on the right is Heather LeeAnn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Herr, Main St., Exeter. Asked if he found anything W.f., ferent In Canada as far as food Was concerned, John replied, ''At home the food is seasoned before cooking and over here season, ing is added after cooking." He said the farms in Trinidad were very small and the main crops were rice, cabbage, toma- toes and lettuce. Asked if any corn was grown, he added with grin, "Some, but not near as much as around Exeter." Incid- entally he had just returned from a full shift of handling corn at Canadian Canners. Driving a car is also quite dif- ferent in Trinidad where traffic moves on the left side of the road and on most open highways the speed limit is 80 miles per hour, In closing, John echoed the sentiments of all of the visitors from Trinidad that they found the Exeter people very friendly .and would like to come back again on a permanent basis. Prize pumpkin at the fair The pumpkins that took first and second awards at Exeter Fair, Thursday were almost as big as their owners. Above, Freddie and Frances Wilkinson complete with rubber boots to slosh through the mud are shown with their prize possessions. T-A photo visor at the local Canners plant, said he was very happy with the work of the Trinidadians.f 4 They guarantee us a continuity of our work force and in the six weeks they have been here only one has missed his work shift and that was because of a cold, We would be Very happy to have every one of them come back again next year," added Rowe. In order to ensure they save a bit of money on their Canadian trip, 20% of their wages i s held back and forwarded to the gov- ernment in Trinidad to be re- turned to each man. John Van der Pool told the T-A the weather here was a little too cold, but he was getting used to it. In Trinidad the coolest weather comes in the month of December when the temperature drops to about 78 in the evening. John hails from the town of petti Valley, about seven miles from the capital city of Port Of Spain. His home town is much smaller than Exeter but has about the same population due to the fact the houses are much clos- er together and most families are quite large. He said a neighboring family of his has 15 children. In direct contrast, John has only one sist- er and she is presently working and studying in Brooklyn, New York. Anyone need any exercise these cool fall evenings? If so contact John Vander Pool at the home of Jack Fuller on Marlborough street in Exeter. John is one of the Trinidad boys working for two months at Canadian Canners and is a track star wanting to work out with some competition at Exeter Com- munity Park. The 26 year-old Trinidadian says he has been up to the local track several times but has been unable to find anybody that was willing to jog with him. He said this is very important in track and field work-outs to have com- pany and competition. As he is a member of the Pargon Sports Club in Trinidad and can run the 440 yard dash in 48 seconds, he probably won't find tough competition but he only wants some one to accom- pany him around the track. A total of 104 young men left Trinidad by plane on August 19 to find summer employment in Canada and 38 of this number travelled by bus from Ottawa to Exeter. The others are al so employed at Canadian Canner plants in Leamington and Am- herstburgh. The arrangements to have the Trinidad boys come to Canada for a short period of time were completed by the governments of the two countries. They will be returning to Trinidad on October 10 when the local corn pack will be pretty well completed.

Horse owners plan to debate Members of the Exeter Saddle Club plan a special meeting Fri- day to discuss council's plan to pass a bylaw regulating the keep- ing of horses within the munici- pality. The club notified council two weeks ago they wished to discuss the matter at council meeting and asked that a decision be post- poned until such a meeting could be held.

There was only one set of twins, but judging from those big smiles, they would have beaten any competition anyway.
