SPECIAL DISCOUNTS ON NEW MERCHANDISE MAIN ST, EXETER Exeter youth returns home after Newfoundland holiday Highway. It is a community of approximately 5,Q00 people. The town is built around a bay and is therefore divided into the North Shore, Central Glovertown and South Glovertown, The main street follows the shore of the bay and it is very long. Some of the other small villages very close to Glovertown are Traytown and Cubbs Harbour. Even though Glovertown is on a bay, there are very few People who make their living off fish. There are very few people that even own boats. Most of the people work at the surrounding Places (Gander, etc,) and there are storekeepers, teachers, etc. etc. There is a high school and a public school in Glovertown, although in Newfoundland, high school just goes to Grade 11, then university. There is also a sawmill, but most of the lumber is exported out of Newfoundland. Most of the houses in Newfoundland are wood with cement foundations.

The Mayor writes Exeter, Ontario Monday, July 28, 1969 Dear Friends: Through the various news media, we have often witnessed disasters of various types in many communities throughout the world. Last week, we in Exeter and the surrounding townships of Stephen and Usborne became the subjects of such news coverage as a disastrous storm descended upon us. Crops in the area were completely shredded and destroyed, while in Exeter we watched in awe as the torrential downpour sent flood waters swirling down our streets. The waters cascading down Ann St, at the height of the storm presented a Most frightening spectacle, and many who did not see it, would find it most difficult to believe. Estimates of property damage continue to mount and no doubt it will be some time before any accurate estimate can be determined. However, Huron MPP C.S. MacNaughton, Provincial Treasurer, who quickly left his duties in Toronto to witness the storm damage, has advised that provincial aid will be received by residents of these municipalities. To this end, a disaster fund has been set up and the provincial govern me nt will match each dollar contributed to the fund. The 'need is apparent and we know the residents of this area will be generous in providing assistance for their friends, neighbors and relatives who suffered losses due to the Storni. seen three brick houses during my visit to St. John's and even they were not totally brick, I am staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Blackwood in Centre Glovertown. The house is two stories and is the same as any Ontario house except it has no refrigerator. Instead of a refrigerator they have a large deep freeze which serves the purpose, The house is heated by an ail space heater and a wood stove converted to oil. The hot water is also heated by the stove. They also have a garden and they are growing some potatoes, lettuce, carrots, etc. The house and garden have a fence around them, as do most houses, to keep out the sheep and horses. Glovertown has about 25.30 horses and more sheep wandering the streets. In the winter the horses are used to haul wood and the sheep are used for wool, On the whole there is little difference between our way of life and the way of life of the Newfoundlanders. They live in the same houses, eat the same food (except more of it), drive the same cars, work at the same jobs. The standard of living is the same here as it is in Ontario, I have noticed no differences and have enjoyed my stay very much. It's nice to make a new friend, but most members of our species, the naked ape, agree that old friends are the best friends. Last week, I had the best of these two situations, and I am not only delighted but astonished to be alive to report it. The only thing that doesn't seem to be functioning is my liver. Must be in better shape that I thought. It began with a three-day visit from our old friends, the Traplins, We have one of these reunions once a year, and it usually takes a week to get over them. Trap and I joined the air force together. Peggy and Suse have always got along well because they have the same interests. They can talk for 20 hours at a stretch. On Tuesday night they went to bed at 8.15. That's a.m. Know what they were doing? The university acceptance tests. They scored very high. But they were a little dashed when I told them that high school kids get 50 minutes to do these. It had taken them seven hours. And you should hear them playing duets on the piano at 4 a.m. One playing Galway Bay and the other Tales From the Vienna Woods. It sounds pretty good until they begin to sing. Well, the Traps left, and I settled down for a quiet day of reading and recuperation. Knock at the door. Another old friend, Bill Hanna, all set to go sailing. Apparently, though I'll swear it never happened, we'd had a long and involved telephone talk setting the time and the day. No way out, without being a stinker. So I tottered off sailing. A peculiar sport. It takes an In some cases those losses are quite extensive, Funds for the disaster relief fund may be left with the clerks of the three municipalities. While raising funds to help the residents of our three communities is now our greatest need, I do want to take this opportunity to express the appreciation of the Council of Exeter and all citizens, to those who came to our assistance during Thursday's flood. The fire departments of Hensall, Crediton, Huron Park and Brucefield quickly offered their assistance to pump out the basement of South Huron Hospital and this was very much appreciated. Of course, our own fire department must be commended for their untiring efforts, especially in view of the fact many of them had damage at their own homes from the flood, The Exeter Police Department personnel also displayed their value during the storm, as did members of the Public Utilities Commission staff and the Exeter works department. Ourthanks is also extended to the Ontario Hydro personnel, the area hospitals and ambulances who arrived on the scene Friday morning to help move out patients and to start the big . task of getting the hospital back into operation. It would be impossible to list all those who worked so hard during the flood and in the clean-up following. To the children who picked up . bottles of drugs, to the youths who helped move .citizens' hour to get ready. This is hard on a man who is dying on his feet. Then you float around for a couple of hours while the skipper desperately tries to catch a breeze no bigger than a belch. Then suddenly, there's what we old sailors call a spanking breeze, and the skipper is hollering at you to "cleat your jib" and "luff your lee" and all sorts of nasty things, and the dam' boat is hurtling along with one side almost under water and your beer has tumbled into the bilge and you are wondering whether you can still swim two miles. Back home, safe, late and burned to a cinder. Nodding over a late dinner and the 11 p.m. news. Door-bell rings Cheery young voice, "Anybody home'?" And you go downstairs and there's another old friend, petite Jeanne Sauve, and she's brought you a beautiful rose from her own garden. And yes, she'll have a gin and a look at the new bathroom and a two-hour talk with Suse. There was only one way out, and I took it. I plunged off in the car next morning for Uxbridge and the Ontario Weekly Editors' annual golf tournament. Host Pete Hvidsten, Norwegian who didn't know enough to go home after the war. But by the acme of acumen managed to marry off both his kids within two weeks. Gene Macdonald, the man from Glengarry, who won the prize for the longest drive of the day — he'd driven 280 miles to get there. He also insisted I buy him a double every time I had a double bogey. A stiff proposition for both of us. belongings, to the men who arrived with tractors to help where they were needed, we extend our thanks. To all others who helped in any way, during and after the disaster we say a sincere thank you. Yours sincerely, Jack Delbridge, Mayor of Exeter. By MRS.

Read, Exeter, has just returned from. a trip to Glovertown, Newfoundland, in company with a group of Grade 11 students from this part of the province. All had been chosen out of district high schools to be Young Voyageurs. • Under a plan financed jointly by the provincial and federal governments, young people from all over the country are moved to other provinces where they live for about two weeks in the homes of other students who are in the same grade and about the same age. Bob left Exeter July 15 and returned July 28, While in Newfoundland he wrote the following letter to his parents who have graciously passed it along to be published in The Times-Advocate. 9 (By BOB READ) Glovertown, Newfoundland, is situated 200 miles north of St. Johns on the Trans-Canada Johnny James of Bowmanvillc with two strapping sons who hit a golf ball a quarter of a mile. Weeklies' dean, Werden Leavens of Bolton, who played four holes, counting the 19th. Charlie Nolan of Stouffylile, game as always, getting through nine holes despite the pain. Ebullient Harry Stemp, who ran the show, which is rather like trying to get 40 rhinocerus to sit up at table and put on their napkins. Jim Dills of Acton-Milton, genial and easy-going as always. And a dozen others. Thais why it was equally pleasant to meet new friends. Dave Scott of Fort Erie, the only man I've ever seen whiff four times straight while trying to strike a golf ball, And "Ting", the amiable troll who cartoons brilliantly, and the only man alive who can skate in his bare feet on a coffee table, with coasters as skates. And a dozen others. There's nothing like friends, old or new, if you want to beat Gabriel's trumpet and die a couple of decades before your time. Thank you to all who helped
