Then along came World War two, and in 1941 Earl went in training at a Military base in Chatham, Ontario. While stationed there he wrote a song about Army Life, entitled "Living In Tile Army". At an amateur contest on the camp, he performed the song and won first prize, plus an appearance for the first time on radio over CFCO Chatham, and widespread publicity in many large newspapers. Later that year he joined the London Little Theatre vaudeville troup and travelled the circuit entertaining men and women in the service. Laterhe was invited to join the staff of CKNX radio and for some time provided a daily radio program on the Farm and Home hour, In 1948 Mr. T. St. Clair Low heard of his songwriting talents and signed Earl up to a publishing contract with Canadian Music Sales Cor- poration in Toronto. A group of his songs were released in Song Folio Number One, billing him as "Canada's Number one Singing Cowboy," In 1949 Earl was introduced to Mr. Hugh Joseph the A and R representative of RCA Victor Company, of Montreal. Mr. Joseph signed him to a recording contract to make a series of records for the RCA Victor Company, During the early fif- ties, before the introduction of albums, it was the 78 RPM and 45 RPM singles that were in, More than 200,000 singles of Earl's voice on records were sold over record counters across Canada. Canadian Music Sales soon released song Folio Number two and realms of sheet music of songs from the pen of writer Earl Heywood. In the meantime he was starring on the popular CKNX Barn Dance that played prac- tically every city and town in south Western Ontario, and broadcast live over the Wingham Earl Heywood, well known songwriter, composer, radio TV and Recording artist is a native son of the Exeter area. He was born on his fathers farm (the late Victor Heywood) lot 12, Con- cession 2, Usborne Township. A farm bay at heart he got his early schooling at S.S. No. 5 Usborne, and later attended Exeter HighSchool. When he was eight years old, he recalls the travelling Medicine shows that once visited Exeter, and the throngs of the people on the streets on a Saturday night. One show he remembered in particular was Old Doc KOly's Medicine show, who was recognized as King of the Medicine Men, and probably had the largest show of its kind on the road covering the continent. It appeared in Victoria Park, for one whole week with nightly entertainment, which was followed by selling products like Shamrock Oil and Banyan. This was the show that created the first inspiration for Earl Heywood to become an en- tertainer. Earl's father bought him a mail order guitar, and he learned a few chords through the help of his music teacher Mrs, Gambrel who operated a music studio in Exeter at that time, Then there was Roy Goulding who taught music in the public schools, and who was a great help in teaching Earl the theory of music, and who might be credited for Earl making his first ap- pearance as a soloist in a public school performance. Back in 1934 Exeter started their own Brass band, Earl became a member and learned to play euphonium. A year later the band made its first public ap- pearance heading the mile long parade for the 1935 Exeter Old Boys and Old Girls Reunion. Earl says,: "I have never forgotten the thrill of this per- formance which has always remained in my mind a very memorable event. "He went on to say" As I look back today, it was the Medicine show performers, the Exeter Brass Band, the music teachers, James Street United Church where I sang in the choir, the plays I performed in at Young Peoples, and the local The London Men of Accord will appear with the Huronia male choir at Tuesday night's concert at the Exeter arena Urban-rural exchange calls for more farm host families Dianne is really stressing the latter phase of the program this year. Last year, she said, the. percentage of urban youngsters' who made return visits to the city was quite small. She is hoping it will increase this year. Both transportation systems Boat, trailer stolen in rash of thefts Car - rolls, few in juries Starting next Wednesday, the second annual urban-rural ex- change programsponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food will begin. Dianne Fines is again co- ordinating the exchange for Huron and Perth counties and she is very anxious to involve as many youngsters. as possible. Young people between the ages of 12 and 15 are eligible for the exchange and they may apply through their school, through the local Ministry of Agriculture and Food office or through the area co-ordinator. The exchange begins with the visit of the urban young person to the home of his rural host for a one-week period. At the end of this week, both the urban and rural young people return to to city for a one-week visit. 11 11 11 4 11 1 1 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1[ I I I I 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 11 11 1 1 11 11 1 1 ) Les Pines Hotel Motel 1 i l li ii ii 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 I II II II I I II 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 11 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 11 11 [ 11 1 1 1 1 11 EXETER The rash of thefts continued in the area this week.

The property stolen was valued at $3,200.

A goodwill appearance was made in the USA, and Earl ap- peared on many radio and TV shows in New York and Philadelphia where he made his first appearance on TV, long before TV made its appearance in Canada, When TV came in Canada, he frequently appeared on Holiday Ranch, King Ganam show, and his first TV ap- pearance on the CBC network was on Pick The Stars. Appearing on the same show for the first time was Robert Goulet. Earl says a couple of his most thrilling experiences, was when he played on a personal tour of the Maritime provinces, he performed in the Halifax Forum to a crowd of 8,000 people, Another thrilling experience was when the Publishers, the press, radio and the RCA Victor record company organized a "National Earl Heywood week" in his honour, the first time this had ever been done for an entertainer in Canada. That was back in the fifties. Earl Heywood is married to the former Martha Thiel of Zurich. They reside in Wingham where they raised a family one daughter Pat and a son Grant. The family followed father footsteps, when he organized a family unit, On March 28, 1960 the Heywood Family did a series of family recordings at the RCA Victor studios in Toronto. They became the first all Canadian Family unit to make commercial records and the youngest . ,(son Grant) who was seven, became Canada's first youngest Recording artist. The Heywood Family album of songs has recently been reissued as a Deluxe Collectors Album on the Dominion label. While Earl has written numerous Canadian oriented songs one of the most popular from his pen is the song "Moonlight On The Manitoulin Island". This particular song has been recently recorded as an instrumental by the popular "MOM AND DADS" Probably the greatest achievement in the field of songwriting and recording for Earl is his production of a piece of Canadian history from the local area. Earl composed and produced in song the words and music telling the Donnelly story in fourteen songs. , With sixty of Earls recorded songs currently on the market this talented songwriter, radio TV and recording artist is also well known in the field of magic; with baffling illusions and sleight of hand work. Along with his wife Martha, who is a talented instrumentalist of the keyboard and vocalist, together they perform as a man and wife team. Earl and Martha Heywood will be appearing in a great homecoming concert during the Exeter Centennial . . appearing at the Exeter Arena on Monday afternoon July 2. Park, reported the theft of a TV aerial from his parked pickup truck. The aerial was valued at $69. Three youths have been charged with theft following an investigation by Constable Bill Glassford on Thursday. A garden hose was cut and taken along with a spray nozzle from a Huron Park residence. A tool box belonging to Jim. Morrissey, Stephen Township, was stolen from a tractor parked on a concession road. It was valued at $50. Police also report several more thefts of gasoline from farm vehicles and trucks at area in- dustries. In Hensall, early Sunday morning, a water hydrant was turned on. Similar occurrences were reported in the Seaforth area over the weekend. are arranged by the program co- ordinator, and each exchangee pays $3 to help cover the cost, The exchange is a physical one, but perhaps more important, it is an exchange of ideas, experience and the building of friendships. The ministry is concerned because there is a great deal of misunderstanding between the urban and rural communities regarding the life styles each pursues. The objective of the exchange program is to expose young people to an environment and way of life which may differ from their own and thus have them learn by doing. All participants, both ex- changees and host families are insured against accidents. Last summer, they were not called upon to use this policy. Safety is also stressed to urban youths at an orientation session prior to their farm visit. The urban to rural exchange starts July 4 and will continue every second week after that. the rural to urban exchange will he held during the alternate weeks, in July and August, starting July 11. Dianne stressed the need for North of the Bridge more host families. "We can always use more of them," she said. If you are interested in being a host family, or if your child would like to take part in the exchange, you can contact Dianne Fines, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Foods at Box 159, Clinton, NOM 1L0 (482-3428) or Box 398, Stratford, N5A 6T3 (271-0280).
