I would at this time like to sincerely thank all the countless people it takes to put on a show of this magnitude, especially the directors of each division, the ladies division, and all their helpers. See you at the Fair. Wagering at the races The harness races at this year's Exeter Fair are expected to be bigger and better than ever. The meet has been extended to six heats and pari-mutuel wagering facilities will be on the grounds. Although the Ontario govern- ment recently banned betting except by pari-mutuel methods, officials of the Fair'Board and the Exeter Turf club were able to get excellent co-operation from the Canada Department of Agriculture and arrangements were made with a Toronto firm to bring their wagering equipment here for Saturday's racing. All three classes have already been filled and will each go in two heats. Fair racing secretary Gerry Schenk also has a couple of also eligible horses ready to go. Following is a list of the horses entered in the three categories with the drivers' names. NON-WINNERS $500 LIFETIME Sully's Sparky, Rick Stewart J.D. Riggs, A.

Sue Anne Finlayson and Shelley Finlayson had perfect attendance. The weather hasn't been exactly ideal for flowers this year, but exhibitors hope it won't affect the flower show at the fair too much. Mrs. Roy Pepper, who has been quite successful already this year with her flowers, said that the dry weather experienced for the most part of the summer has affected some of the flowers. She said the dahlias would have been perfect last week, but added that she didn't know if they would hold out until Fair time. "It just depends on the year, and on the situation," she said. She said she had heard, just before the recent flower show sponsored by the Kirkton Hor- ticultural Society, that there weren't going to be many displays at it. But Mrs. Pepper herself walked away with five firsts. "It just depends." But she said the weather had definitely hurt the glads. Last year, she explained, the gladioli displays were not very good because they were really over too soon. So this year, she planted some bulbs late, but because they were held back by the dry weather, she doesn't know whether they will be ready. One of last year's top winners at the flower show, Mrs. C. Zeehuisen, also said the weather wouldaffect some of the flowers, but she stressed the cold, rather than the arid conditions. For example, she said that she will have no coxcombs on display at the fair. She said that they have turned out very well other years, and faulted the weather. So, she said, the weather has A "flat spot" is mechanic talk for hesitation; that is, when the engine does not respond promptly to quick acceleration effort. Wet roads present a double hazard to stopping; they cause skids, and the spray dampens brake lining, impeding the braking process. * An inexpensive easily replaceable impact-absorbing bumper has been designed to take the brunt of higher-than- 5-mph crashes. The latest survey shows that one in every five cars on the road is in unsafe mechanical condition. * When checking your tires for proper inflation, make sure they're cool, Better still, check our cool fires AND the fine cars that come with them at Larry Snider MOTORS LIMITED EXETER 235.1640 LONDON 227.4191 Huron County's Largest Ford Dealer Drive in soonl Page 2 A Times-Advocate,, September 21, 1972 Message from the president By MRS.
