Oh, it's okay when something exciting happens to you, when you have a family reunion or like Editor Bill this week getting the bejeebers stung out of you by a swarm of yellow-jackets. But most weeks, nothing that painful takes place, thank goodness, And then its like scraping the bottom of the barrel to think of something to write about, Even those writers who have their columns sydicated, such as Bill Smiley who is carried in the T-A, seem to have problems. Smiley, of course, holds down a full time job as a teacher and reading his column, you can usually tell what kind of a week he's having, A slack week and his column is interesting. A busy week and its the same old stuff about the "old battle-axe or his daughters singing lessons or the rotten students he has to put up with. Working on a weekly, while not the most exciting job in the world, would have to be one of the busiest and about Tuesday morning when you suddenly realize the column isn't done yet, a quick look at your assignment sheet for the past five or six days reveals a• schedule about as exciting as lukewarm porridge, I suppose an imaginative, creative writer would have no trouble whipping up some ab- solutely thrilling epistle but being a rather dull fellow, I have problems. For instance, during the past week I covered a bicycle motocross event with about eight entrants, stood outside Chiselhurst United Church while wall-to-Wall people inside en- joyed the 115th anniversary in- side, interviewed a woman minister in Kirkton, sold a bunch of ads, swept the floor, took out the garbage and delivered some printing to Hensall. An average week but not exactly exciting. Mind you, in my own time, I got suckered in by a used car salesman, played tennis with Exeter recreation director Jim McKinlay (we tried at least), cut the lawns or at least part of them, picked green beans and GRAND BEND 4 AND DISTRICT NEWS EXETER, ONTARIO, SEPTEMBER 11, 1 975 THE EXETER-TIMES ADVOCATE, Ivan & Mickey's GULF STATION Grand Bend Announcement We are pleased to announce we have sold our business to Ray and Elaine Richardson, the change of ownership to take effect on Monday, September 15.

Nan, Mickey, Tracy and Terry Luther Henderson meets Grand Bend PCs Lorne Henderson the Con- servative incumbent in the Ontario Legislature for the riding of Lambton told party supporters in Grand Bend Tuesday that the provincial deficit "wasn't as bad as the opposition would like people to believe," Henderson continued, "about 12 years ago it took 14 months of provincial income to make up the running deficit, today income from only six months is sufficient to take care of the deficit." On the subject of public housing the Lambton MPP said the province has spent 400 million dollars on housing this year. He said that public housing now open and also under construction totals 275 units in Lambton, A year ago the figure was 42. Henderson indicated he was concerned about the present advertising campaign put forth by Ontario civil servants. He added, "Their ads are very misleading. The Act they are talking about was actually passed in 1897 by a Liberal government and was amended slightly by the Robarts govern- ment in 1963," On the subject of education, Henderson told his Grand Bend workers, "students graduating from elementary schools now have a better education and are more mature than when you and I were at the same level.'

At the left Henderson is greeted by Stewart Webb, Bill Cochrane and other Grand Bend supporters.

Frustrating is the word. Finding myself in London Friday evening, I started there and while being snowed under by grovelling salesmen who acted as though their very existence depended on closing a deal with me in the next fifteen minutes, I couldn't find a car I would look twice at, at least not in the price range I could afford. They intimated that they could get me a• deal, went away to see the manager and invariably came back with about $200 off the price I had been quoted originally, But the machines they were trying to sell me looked like they had been through the Daytona 500 so I went looking for greener pastures. Small town car lots have a slightly different approach. The salesmen are friendly, the prices high and fewer cars are on the lots. Decent used cars seem to be scarce right now if you are looking for something under $3,500. While the prices may be high compared to the city lots and advertisement appearing in the dailies, the quality of used cars in small towns is far superior to the city clunkers. I suppose in a small town a car dealer needs repeat business, not having the huge population of the city and they make sure the product will make the customer happy. After visiting about fifteen' lots in the area I found something I liked and bought it. "Finally I can retire that tired old clunker with 115,000 miles on it," I thought to myself. • On .Monday, the brakes vapourized in the new car and Tuesday, here I am driving my old clunker. Hopefully, once the brakes are fixed (leaking fluid from the master cylinder the man at the garage said) my new used car will not be a lemon and one day I'll retire it with 115,000 miles on it too. One of Grand Bend's best known citizens Peter Eisenbach passed away Friday at the Blue Water Rest Home in Zurich. Mr. Eisenbach was well known throughout Ontario and the northern United States through the Eisenbach Museum which he established in 1961 on Highway 21 north in the village of Grand Bend. During the early years of the museum he was a frequent visitor at auction sales pur- chasing many items. One of his prized possessions was a 144 piece set of Florida pattern dishes in floblue colour.

Our testing programs range from laboratory experiments to "on the snow" tests held in Japan, CANADA and the U.S. The input of informa- tion gathered at snowmobile race tracks under competition also plays an important role in our development program.
