Eve, a deep uneasiness would run through a large segment of the American populace — a conviction that despite the evidence on every calendar, the New Year has not really arrived." Such is the nostalgia generated by Guy Lombardo, which is not confined to New Year's Eve, but is evidenced in every section and corner of America where Guy continues to send the soothing Messages of "The Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven" to lovers and devoted fans, Monday night area residents will have an opportunity to meet the famous musician when he plays for the Exeter & District Heritage Foundation dance at Huron Park. Among the big reasons for Lombardo's continued popularity has been his amazing ability to discover songs destined to become hits. He is credited with having introduced more songs, over 600, which subsequently became national favorites, than any other band leader or singer in history. Another reason for the solid following is the fact that the Lombardo band is the only aggregation that tours intact. The Royal Canadians consist of the same full complement, no matter where they play. There are no pick up members. Some of the men have been with Guy since the inception of the band many years ago. They include brothers Carmen (who also composed hit songs such as "Boo Hoo", "Little Coquette", "Seems Like Old Times", "Return to Me", "Sweethearts on Parade", and many other favorites ), Lebert, Victor, George McGowan. Brother-in-law Kenny Gardner still does the vocals and former member Larry Owen is now musical arranger for , the band.

Hoggarth opened the meeting with a friendly welcome and a poem , "What is a little town?" The Roll Call was answered by a "Consumer Complaint." Some of the chief complaints was the spread in prices for the same commodity from store to store, packaging of meat on cardboard affecting the taste, and the continuing spiral of prices up- ward.

If any readers are in the mood for a sight-seeing jaunt during the next several days, I would like to recommend that they visit St. Catharines and get in on the final activities of the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival which opened there on September 17 and runs until September 26. This past Saturday I ac- companied my parents on an excursion to the festival which turned out to be educational and, more importantly, a lot of fun. Montebello Park in St. Catharines is the home-base for the festival and from there one can get in on guided tours of area vineyards, which includes , ;1 . • unlimited samples of various wines, tours on week days to area wineries such as the large Andres establishment, the grand parade on Saturday, September 25, or enjoy one of the many wine and cheese parties held on most evenings during the festival, A visit to the wine garden at Montebello Park proved to this reporter that wine on a hot day has advantages no other beverage can surpass. Unfor- tunately for some people, en- tering the wine garden is a grave mistake since they make no further progress for the rest of "The ensilage corn and grain corn entries were the best I have ever judged in the Exeter area." Those were the comments of Clarence Switzer of St. Marys after completing judging of the corn entries in the Exeter Fall Fair competition. Keith Strang was the winner in the ensilage division with 98 points. One point back in second spot was Winston Shapton. Paul Passmore was third with 951/2 points and George Sereda was next with 94'/2. Ed Miller's 94 was good for fifth position and Tom L. Hern was next with 93 points. Following the day, Nevertheless, these same people argue that if indeed they were in error, it was the best mistake they ever made! As well, meeting other tourists becomes just as much a part of the fun as those activities planned by the festival committee. Still another excursion was recently made by villagers of Mt. Carmel, On Wednesday, Sep- tember 15, Doris and Norm Ryan accompanied friends of theirs from Strathroy on a trip to Kingston and The Thousand Islands. The Ryans returned home on Friday, September 17. closely behind were Elmer Powe, Gerald Dearing, Howard Pym and Bob Down. Only three and a half points separated the first 10 competitors in the grain corn section. Winston Shapton was named the winner with 96'/2 points and Ray Can was second a half point back. Bob Down was third with 951/2 points, George Sereda scored 95 and Ken Oke checked in with 941/2 . Howard Pym was next with 941/4 and Wayne Tuckey seventh with 94. Completing the top 10 were Tom Triebner, Paul Passmore and Ed Miller.
