Spectators at the Sunday
afternoon performance of the
Midwestern rodeo at Exeter
Community Park will be in for a
surprise in addition to the
expected rodeo excitement.
A yearly attraction at the
popular local event, Bill Brady
of CFPL Radio in London will
be back again and he has a big
surprise in store for everybody.
Bill declined to disclose the
nature of his act when contacted
by the T-A Wednesday morning,
but did say it would be very
unusual.
"In other years, I've covered
most areas of the rodeo by
riding bareback, bronco riding
and tackling the brahma bulls, so
there is only one thing left to do
and it has never been done
before," added Brady.
"There will be some danger
involved, maybe not to me, but
to the spectators. The
committee members are not too
keen to have me do this
particular daring act, but I can't
disappoint my many friends in
the Exeter areas All I can say is
that it Will be typical of the
west, possibly not completely of
a rodeo theme," continued the
popular London MC.
Due to prior broadcasting
cotnmittments Brady will not be
able to participate in the parade
on Saturday, fM'PL will be
broadcasting live froth the
Exeter Park on Sunday from
noon to five in the afternoon
with Jack Nixon handling the
announcing chores with Brady
dropping in from time to time.
Brady has surprise
for rodeo spectators
Reeve Thompson said his
council would have settled for
$7,000 the price Hensall is
asking the townships as their
share in the proposed new fire
engine the village hopes to buy.
He added that Hay Township
officials were only ready to pay
$5,500 — and neither Hay or
Hensall was willing to bargain
further,
According to Reeve
Thompson, his council is divided
on the matter, Tuckersmith
already owns a 50 percent share
in the Brucefield fire engine as
well 'as shares in the engines in
Clinton and Seaforth.
He noted that a 50 percent
share of the Brucefield truck will
cost less than a one-third share
in the Hensall truck, and some
councillors in Tuckersmith are
unhappy about this fact.,
Thompson did indicate,
however, that his council would
have reached a settlement with
Hensall Tuesday evening had
Hay and Hensall been ready to
negotiate. •
The Tuckersmith reeve
explained that Hay Township
has fire agreements with Grand
Bend, Zurich, Dashwood,
Hensall and Exeter. Hay fears
that if they go for a $7,000
share in the Hensall truck, the
other four municipalities would
soon agitate for increased funds.
The eastern portions of Hay
Township are fairly well serviced
by Exeter to the south, Zurich
to the west and Brucefield to the
north, if need arises. There is
some thought that Hay may not
be too anxious to reach an
agreement with Hensall for this
reason although certain
taxpayers have indicated their
preference for protection from
near-by Hensall.
Whether or not Hensall will
offer Hay Township fire
protection on the basis of an
annual retainer fee, remains to
be seen. Tuckersmith council
however, has given notice that
whatever agreement is reached
between Hensall and Hay will be
the type of agreement by which
their council will be bound also.
The present agreement
between Hensall and Hay
terminates at the end of
September.

Fire agreement meeting
'doesn't get anywhere'
Dick Manore, a well-known
resident of Grand . Bend, has
received special recognition this
month from John C. Utz of the
American Motors Sales
Corporation and three of his
friends, all from the Detroit
area.
Dick operates Manore Marina
in Grand Bend.
In a letter to David S. Fenn,
publisher of the Grand Bend
Times, Mr. Utz commended
Manore for "courtesies and
accommodations far beyond
what one would normally expect
in visiting any community."
Writes Mr. Utz:
"When we arrived in Grand
Bend aboard four cruisers, we
found, as I am certain many
boaters have found, very few
public spaces to accommodate
our boats. Had it not been for
this one outstanding member of
your community, I am certain
we would have proceeded on to
some other point along Lake
Huron.
"Whatever the facilities he so
graciously provided us lacked,
they were far and away offset by
the many generous courtesies
extended by him and members
of his organization.
"Within the first four hours,
each of us had agreed that
providing the Ausable River did
not completely dry up, Grand
Bend was a community in which
we intended to spend our entire
vacation. Certainly the lake, the
scenery, the family
entertainment contributed to
our decision to remain, but the
single, most important factor
was a gentleman by the name of
Dick Manore. I would commend
him to your community, to your
Chamber of Commerce and to
the merchants and residents as
