"It's a tough act to follow!"
That was the comment of G.
' D. Finnen, sales manager at
Dashwood Industries Limited,
after the firm had received the
Charles H. Broad award for an
advertising campaign conducted
during the past year.
The award is presented to the
Canadian firm which places first
for outstanding effectiveness in
industrial advertising.
Over 150 of Canada's largest
companies compete for the
coveted award, and the fact that
DIL won it on their first attempt
is the reason Finnen notes it's a
• tough act to follow.

winners were Phillips Cables,
Brockville; Firestone Tire and
Rubber, Hamilton; Steel
Company of Canada, Hamilton;
Fiberglas, Toronto.
The awards were recently
presented in Toronto by the
Association of Industrial
Advertisers.
This was the first year DIL
conducted a major advertising
campaign and they did it with a
series of artistic color ads in
various trade journals.
The campaign was handled by
the Cockfield, Brown
Advertising Agency, London,
who landed another of the
division honors as well.
The advertisements carry
messages pertaining to
Dashwood wood windows.
The campaign helped the area
firm realize a doubling of sales
and this was one of the basis for
the award.
Not only did the campaign
help sales, but DIL has received
considerable publicity since
winning the award. A writeup
and picture of one of the
advertisements appeared in
Marketing and was featured in a
full page article on industrial
advertising in The Financial
Post.
"It was quite an honor for
the company," Finnen said in
discussion of the award.
Rabies scare

"According to the latest reports

officials on animals sent for

The chief asks that residents

SHDHS. Principal J,
'Wooden, a member of council
for seven years, indicated he
would not Stand for :re-election
and councillor Jim Newby
indicated likewise.
"I find I can't do justice to
the job now," Wooden stated,
noting he hasn't the .time
between council meetings to
think about municipal matters as
he .did before assuming the job
of principal at the local school.
He has been on council for
seven years and has been
instrumental in many aspects of
the progress made in planning in
the community.
Newby, who stated he has
enjoyed his two-year stint, also
is resigning because he finds he
can not afford the time to serve.
Deputy-Reeve Mery .Cudmore.
said Tuesday night he is still
finding it difficult to make up
his mind due to the pressures of
business, but indicated he would
possibly stand again.
Also still slightly doubtful is
Councillor George Vriese,
although he indicated he would
probably stand, especially if a
nucleus of experienced members
resigned.
The veteran member of
council, Ross Taylor, said he at
first had decided to resign his
position this year, but has now
changed his mind and will run.
Mayor Jack Delbridge,
Drivers face
traffic counts
Exeter OPP continued their
concentrated surveillance of area
drivers this past week and laid 26
charges under the Highway
Traffic Act.
Another 25 drivers were given
warnings.
The crack-down on drivers
appears to,be paying dividends, as
only two accidents were reported
this week, both involving only
one vehicle.
On Wednesday at 10:45 a.m.,
a truck operated by Douglas P.
Workman, RR 4 Brussels, went
out of control on the St. Marys
Road and rolled onto its side.
Damage was estimated at
$3,000 by Constable F.L. Giffin.
The other crash occurred on
Saturday at 1:00 a.m. when a car
operated by James P. Morrissey,
RR 2 Crediton, struck a farm
fence on a curve at Concession 2,
Stephen Township. The car had
been proceeding west on No. 21
County Road.
Constable W.G. Glassford
listed damage at $100.00.
During the week the officers
spent 209 hours on patrol and
covered a distance of 1,932 miles.
Constable J.A. Wright,
accident prevention officer,
spoke to a group of the Catholic
Women's League in Exeter and

Again Friday the long arm of
the law weighed heavily on the
pocketbooks of youthful
drinkers as Magistrate Glenn Hays
QC continued his policy of
cracking down on under age
boozers.
In the case of James J. Foster,
Exeter, who pleaded guilty to
two charges of possessing liquor
while still under the legal thin king
age of 21 years, the combination
of fines and court costs totalled
$180.60. The alternative was 25
days in jail.
Foster was picked up in Exeter
October 19 and the following
Saturday, October 26, both times
with a case of beer in his car.
Fine for the first offence was
$75 and costs; for the second,
$100 and costs.
A 19-year old London youth,
Gregory W. Smith, entered a
guilty plea on a charge of
consuming liquor while a minor.

James H. Hamilton, Exeter,
left the scene of an accident in
Exeter October 5. His fine was

Hamilton backed into a car on
the Legion parking lot. Damage
to the vehicle was estimated at
$200. Hamilton did not remain

observed by another person and
later apprehended.
In addition to the fine, his
driver's licence was suspended for

George Dixon, a member of
A Remembrance Day speaker
in Eketer termed it "not good
for Canada" that the United
States had recently elected a
Republican president in the
person of Richard Nixon.
Rev. Noble Hatton, Ontario
Regional Director for the
Canadian Council of Christians
and Jews, expressed the opinion
Nixon would resume the arms
race with Russia.
Speaking at the annual R. E.
Pooley branch banquet,
Monday, the United Church
minister also said Nixon thinks
the answer to law and order
problems is to use force.
Rev. Hatton, however, added
that he was even more worried
about the fact about 10,000,000
Americans backed George
Wallace in the presidential
election.
But he also reminded his
audience of over 200 that many
Canadians were no better and
there were many problems to be
faced in this country as well.
He termed the plight of the
Canadian Indian as one of "our
deep problems" and suggested
the Indian hasn't been treated
very well and in many cases "has
been robbed of the dignity of
manhood"'
"We have to give them the
right to make some of their own
decisions and give them back
their dignity," he said.
He went on to point out that
that the relationship of Quebec
with the rest of Canada was also
a problem. However, he noted it
was not a Quebec problem — but
rather a Canadian problem.
After noting the country
would be much poorer if it
wasn't for the distinct cultures
and traditions of Quebec, Rev.
Hatton said there were many
English speaking Separatists in
Canada.
"They're Separatists because
they're ignorant, prejudiced and
just don't care," he opined.
In conclusion, he said the
answer to the problems facing
men and nations throughout the
world was the need for sincerity,
courage of one's convictions and
an enthusiasm that's going to be
contagious.
Attending the banquet were
members of the local Legion,
including Some 25 veterans of
World War T, area municipal
representatives and mel,,bers of
other service organizations.
