It is the largest of the sleigh bells that have fascinated him since boyhood. T-A photo Snowmobiles that zoop around the country these days may be a lot faster than the horse and sleigh of yesteryear, but one thing for sure, they aren't as easy on the ears as the musical bells that were attached to the horse's noise complaints The Exeter police department received numerous complaints early Saturday morning concerning youths making excessive noise with a snowmobile and an automobile. Main complaints came from the Anne and Marlborough areas and the vicinity of South Huron Hospital. Chief Ted Day reports two youths have been apprehended and that investigations are continuing. Police investigate Fascinated by sleigh bells MUNCEY ANb SOUTHWOLD — 6:30 P.M. INGERSOLL BUS DEPOT — 6:45 P.M. LIJCAN 7:05 P.M. • NO ONE UNDER 16 ADMITTED Two members of the present Grand Bend council attended their last meeting of the year Monday night. Reeve Orval J. Wassmann, completing his fifth year as chief magistrate and councillor Ian Coles both commented on their years of service. Wassmann said, "I'll venture to say the last two years were the most trying any man could ever have. We completed a lot of projects." He listed the water installation program, main street storm sewers, the river bank erosion program and construction of new docking facilities. The retiring reeve said replacing of the docks would help increase the flow of boating tourists. He added "boating is the best business we have. Anywhere from $150 to $300 is spent by occupants of each boat every time they visit Grand Bend." SHINING THEM UP — It takes a lot of elbow grease, steel wool, and a solution of salt and vinegar to get the old bells back to their original lustre. Most of the bells acquired by Mr. Jeffery' are green with age and often require new clappers and other repairs. Departing members say farewell at GB harness and jingled across the frosty air, Many of the younger generation have probably never heard the cheerful ring of sleigh bells, but Vic Jeffery, Exeter, remembers the sound well,.ard In closing Wassmann said, "I'm not sorry about being defeated. Losing by only 10 votes is a victory in my eyes. I feel that I've served well and tried to work for the good of all residents." In his closing remarks to fellow council members, councillor Coles said he spent a lot of time during the past two years working to organize the combined area fire brigade. "I have nothing to be ashamed of with my efforts on council — in fact I am proud of some of my accomplishments and arguments. The fire committee work has been quite a challenge. As a committee we feel we did a good job. Someday people will see the light." his large collection of bells bespeaks of his love for their ring. was always fascinated by bells," he says. "When I was a young lad driving the horses to town for chop, if I had a dollar in my pocket I'd go to the harness shop and buy a bell. If I didn't have a dollar I'd maybe buy a 75 cent one." He recalls his family had a good collection of bells that was lost in a fire that swept through the barn on Thames Road in 1925. "Only the clappers were left." Bells are composed of a combination of copper, tin and steel, and they melted away in the heat of the blaze. Vic began to collect bells as a hobby about 1945 when horses started being replaced by tractors. He has acquired most of them at auction sales although he has several that friends have given or sold to him once they knew of his collection. He seems to know instinctively where to find another bell. "The only places you can expect to get bells today are at auctions of farms that have been in one family for at least 25 years," he says. Most of them have been sitting around in junk for years and are green with age. It takes a solution of vinegar and salt and a lot of buffing with steel wool to get the bell metal glowing as it should. Lately his collection has been augmented by bells from other countries. Travelling friends have brought him bells from Switzerland, Japan and India which Mr. Jeffery appreciates greatly. Besides these, and his over one hundred sleigh bells, Vic has several cow bells which were commonly used by farmers when the country was uncleared and the .cows were put out in the bush. "A fellow might look all day for his cows if he didn't have bells on them to tell him where they were, back in those times."
