Two accidents on local Funday During Funday activities i n Exeter Friday, town police were called on to investigate the only accidents of the week. At 2:20 p.m., a 1967 auto- mobile, owned by Larry Gould, RR 1, Exeter was involved in a hit-run accident. The Gould vehi- cle was parked on Wellington street and was struck by another vehicle backing away from the parking lot at Betty's Market. Damage to the Gould car was es- timated at $50 by the investi- gating officer, Corporal Harry Van Bergen. Less than three hours later, Van Bergen was called to in- vestigate a minor crash on An- drew street. A 1963 truck driven by Alf Andrus, 403 AndreW street, Exeter struck a parked car owned by William Howitt, Kingsville, causing $50 damage. Accidents — Continued from front page Constable F. L, Giffin was call- ed to the scene of a two-car crash on Friday at '7:05 p.m. on Highway 83. Drivers involved were Fred L. McDonald, RR 4 Thedford, and Harry R. Sher- wood, Exeter. Both Were proceeding west on Highway 83 when Sherwood had to stop as a result of a young bicyclist and McDonald ran into the rear of the Exeter car. Damage was listed at $450. There were two accidents on Sunday, the first taking place at 5:20 p.m. on the 10th and 11th concession of Stephen, just south of the highway 83 intersection. Howard G. Thompson, Grand Bend, Was proceeding south on the concession and his car went out of control after he had pulled o one side to pass an oncoming car. His car skidded into the ditch, hit a telephone pole and fence post and damage Was listed at $400 by Constable J. A, Wright. The final accident resulted in injury to a pony owned by An- thony MatUcci. The animal ran from the south ditch and Was struck by a car driven by Ross J. McCorquo- dale, RR 3 Lakeside, who WaS proceeding west on Highway 83. The accident took place on the highway abeitit three miles' west Of Exeter at l0:45 Mid damage to the car was list- ed at $75 by Constable "Giffin. The pony received only minor taclal laderationt. est tail, a total of 6 1/2 inches. While the obedience portion of the show was going on, one of the contestants decided to take off and headed north on Main Street with its owner and several other youngsters in pur- suit. Cindy, owned by Bonnie Dale proved to be the most obedient dog in the comoetition by "fetch- ing" a sock that had been tossed some distance by her young master. The final class in the dog show was taken by David Vincent with his animal being judged in the best condition of the more than 20 dogs entered in the popular show. The judges and contestants moved up the street with the odd pet show next in line. David Wolfe's iguana proved to be the most unusual with a baby robin displayed by Lee Ewmett in sec- ond spot and David Green's small toad gaining third prize. After the odd pets were dis- played, spectators were treated to the speed events of the day, frog jumping and turtle racing along with awarding prizes to the largest and smallest frogs and turtles. Heidi Klatt brought along the biggest frog and David Brenner took the award for the largest turtle. When looking for the smallest frog, announcer Carf Cann almost stepped on a frog owned by Dwight Noels that turn- ed out to be the smallest of the day. The midget turtle prize went to Ricky Snell. When it came to racing, the same small frog owned byDwight Noels easily outdistanced the largey but slower moving frogs entered by Leslie Cudmore and Scott Morgan. In the turtle speed test, they were only asked to go from the centre of a hula hoop to the outside and Noels again was able to coax his entry to the finish line first. Another feature of the morn- ing program was the beauty con- test involving girls under 14 years of age and their favorite dolls. This event drew a large number of entries and gave the judges a lot of trouble in com- ing up with the winners. After much deliberation, first prize was awarded to Nancy Mil- ler, second place went to Sandra McLeod and the third spot went to a sister combination, Brenda and Sheila Edwards. Competition in the footsie con- test was so keen, the judges decided to award duplicate first prizes. The prize winners were able to keep their footsies going endlessly, which forced the jud- ges to hand out more than one top prize. In the under 10 years section, Kim Turner, Helen Brand, Karen Parsons anSandra McLeod were still footsying when the judges called a halt and no less than six contestants were still going in the over 10 diVision. Kim Postell, Val Sweet, Karen Morley, Tammy Litt, Gale Boucher and Heather Dougherty shared first prize. The enthusiastic entrants in the hula hoop contest, again test- ed the ingenuity of the judges in deciding a winner. While stand- ing still the girls could go on forever ' so they were asked to go forward, backward and sideways. Still no Winner. Theh they were asked to race to the finish line with their hula hoops still swing- ing. Brenda Edwards,Wendy Webb and Sandra McLeod the first three finishers for girls under 10 while Kathy McGregor, Gloria Davis and Val Sweet were first across the finish line in the older diVision. The last event on the morning program was frisbee throWing and the strong wind blowing play- ed havoc with most of the con- testants. The winning combination of Dick Vandeworp and Richard Ottewell were able to toss the frisbee back and fotth four times to gain the title. Paul Robinson and Doug Fairhairn teamed up to finish second and Mike and Dan Brintnell gained third plane. Some of the contestants were heard to say, "We could do this at least 30 times if the wild wasn't blowing:" After lunch, the sdheditled In- ternational costume parade was interrupted by an invasion by the Black Mctloons. Last year Doc 'MeGOOil was captured after rob- bing the local branch of the tank of Montreal and was tillangedoP In front of the town halm Last year's batik robbery was given wide publicity by Bill Brady of CFPL radio, who was an on the scene witness. The McGoon family didn't forget this fact and only Thursday morning forced local IGA operator, Fred Darling, at gunpoint to call Brady and tell him he had better stay out of Exeter on Funday. The popular 980 Lively Guy was impressed by the threat and sent a replacement in Jack Nixon to cover' Friday's event. The McGoon's struck again, but they proved they were neutral. This time they attempted to rob the Bank of Nova Scotia. Sonny McGoon raced into the bank and returned shortly with a money bag, but he hardly made it to the street when the Hippies overwhelmed him. The entire staff for the day were imported from Yorkville and they soon showed McGoon, they knew how to deal with bank robbers. With the help of Cor- poral Harry Van Bergen of the local police force, the girls brandishing elephant pistols es- corted the young McGoon to the town hall and quickly deposited him into a cell. With McGoon in his rightful place, the town again took on a quiet atmosphere and the parade continued. The costume judging was divided into four divisions. Tammy and Claudia Litt finish- ed one-two in the European div- ision and Sandra McLeod and Julie Ann McLean received top awards in East Indian or Oriental dress. Randy Mills, Dani McLeod and Chris Cowen were judged best in Centennial costume while Heidi Eisenchink, Robbie Mellenger and Mike McAuley were the best Americans in the show. Numerous colorfully decorated bicycles and tricycles were next in the judging department. Bonnie Postal strike Contirmed from front page business is hectic during March, April and May. Staff at Kongskilde is enjoy- ing holidays in turn, conducting 4-H tours and generally taking a breather after the spring rush. Only concern at Kongskilde seems to be the fact that in- voices cannot be mailed and cheques cannot be received. MAKING DO "It could be worse." That was the comment atJones MacNaughton Seeds where spring and fall are the busiest seasons of the year. Coming in July, the mail strike does not pose too much of a problem. Likewise at N. L. Martin's office, the post office closure has not meant serious trouble. A traveller from London makes deliveries twice weekly. At the Times-Advocate it is buSiness as usual with only minor inconvenience becau s e of the strike. News correspondents have co- operated to get their news bud- gets in to the office despite the strike and most papers in the area are being delivered or pick- ed up at the T-A. Though business people are managing during the mail strike to make contacts with custom- ers and supplies through railway express, bus service or personal delivery services, they are find- ing it expensive to do so. Dear Friend of the Salvation Army May L on behalf of the Chair- man of our National Advisory Board, the Honourable Leslie M. Frost, and Board Members, as well as the Territorial Com- mander, Comenissioner C. D. Wiseman, express sincere thanks to you and your news media for the excellent support given to The Salvation Array 1968 Red Shield Appeal. While all reports are not in, it is hoped we will exceed the national quota, thus making It possible for our work in the interest of others to centinne. (Morgan Flannigan) Lieut. Colonel National Campaign Director Baynham, Jeanette De Vriese and Liz Vriese were best in the bic- ycle department while Brad Baynham, Joan Klemke and Sheila Edwards took the three-wheeler awards. A small battery operated car with Scott Batten, right from the Klondyke, at the controls, took first prize in the freak-vehicle test with Scott Rundle and his farm machine, with a cow in tow, finished a close second. Games again took over the spotlight, with apple bobbing next on the agenda. While individual prizes were not awarded in this event, many of the contestants had their faces washed while trying to remove the apples (which were green) from the tub of water without the aid of their hands. The next two items on the pro- gram, while very enjoyable for the onlookers proved rather mes- sy for the contestants. The boys in the egg throwing contest found out in the first round, the eggs were hard boiled and could be thrown with some speed. All of a sudden, the eggs were fresh from the nest without the aid of a kettle and the fun was on. Doug Ferguson and Dan Brint- nell combined to take the junior egg throwing test with Randy Tieman and Paul Robinson taking the senior event. An exciting and sticky watermelon eating contest followed. A street ski race wound up the sports program for the afternoon. A foursome comprising Pete Glover, Pete Moore, Charles Keeling and Tom Patterson show- ed the best co-ordination and covered the course in 14 seconds to take the title. While the sports events were going on throughout the day, visit- ors were taking advantage of the many bargains offered by local merchants and the home baking that was being sold by various groups. Carf Cann, one of the main forces behind Funday said he received many good comments on the day. "For the children it was a busy and exciting day and most of the merchants were extremely happy. One told me, he probably didn't make much profit, but sold a lot of slow moving goods and had a lot of fun at the same time," added Cann.

Although this huge complex GB business — Continued from front page Helen Douglas said business was "maybe even better than last year". Weather has been ideal, she added. Colonial Hotel manager Harold Klopp was satisfied with busi- ness so far this season and said his bar receipts are "just as good as ever". It was Wally Desjardine of Wally's Meat Market who had noticed an upsurge in business this summer. "It is double," stated Des- jardine. "Double over last year. There are more people and more families. The village is definitely quieter. People will tell you so over the counter." Some businessmen in the re- sort reported a decline in busi- ness in 1967, due mainly to the fact many people spent their holidays at Expo. Oil company sells hard hats In recognition of the heavy toll of accidents on Canadian Farms, Imperial Oil Ltd. is stressing the farm safety theme. Through its Esso Agents, this fall with spe- Pial promotion on "Hard Hats" to encourage their greater use on the farm. The fact that hard hats can be as vital in the agricultural in- dustry as in many others is underlined by studies which in- dicate that 27% of all on farm accidents in Canada are due to falls, bumping into objects, or being hit by falling object s. "There are many activities where the protection afforded by a hard hat is very important on the farm, and we advocate their use", says General Manager Gay McLaren of The National Safety League of Canada. "Typical are such things as construction work on the farm — building silos, repairing barns, etc. — and ditching, irrigation, working with cony eyor s, and working in the bush in the wint- er." Imperial's hard hat offer, al- though it will be in effect through- out the harvest season, has been introduced to coincide with an- nual observances of National Farm Safety Week, July 21 to July 27, which is sponsored by the National Safety League of Canada. Through the hard hat offer, Imperial hopes to add to the awareness of farm hazards, and the need in taking precautions in all aspects of farming oper- ations. The Hard Hats are being of- fered at a substantial reduced price by Esso Agents across Canada, encouraging farmers to acquire them when they are pur- chasing lubricants for their tractors, and other power equip- ment. Implicit in the campaign is the idea that the Nation's farmers should be as concerned about their own welfare as about that of their equipment.
