MCCULLOCH
Super Pro 40
It's a fact! The McCulloch Super
Pro 40 weighs less than 12 pounds
yet does almost everything any other
chain saw can do. It even outper-
forms many heavier saws. And all for
very good reasons,
The 2.3 cubic inch engine in the
Super Pro 40 develops more
power per cubic inch than any other
saw in the McCulloch lightweight
line. A friction-reducing 14 inch
sprocket nose bar gives up to 21%
faster cutting through logs up
to 28 inches thick. In spite of the
mighty punch it packs, the Super Pro
40 doesn't tire you out with
vibration. Because, it features the ex-
clusive McCulloch Cushion Power
anti-vibration system.
Likewise, the special patented
"Reed" muffler cuts out irritating high-
level noise.The SafetyTrigger
throttle latch keeps the engine from
accelerating accidentally. An auto-
matic oiler pumps the exact amount
of oil to the bar and chain as you
cut, which means proper lubrication
and longer bar and chain life.
And, since the Super Pro 40 is
first and foremost a McCulloch, it has
CHAIN BRAKE, the professional
safety feature that stops a moving
chain in milliseconds.
With all this, the Super Pro 40 is
definitely a winner. Ask for a dem-
onstration today, at your McCulloch
dealer's. We're sure you'll agree:
the Super Pro 40 is the Lightweight
Champ,of the World.

Reeve for 15 years, Thompson calls it quits
against Tuckersmith people government is going to being who had an urban community
Sillery felt the County should
be involved on a county rec-
reation basis and everyone take
part. He said there is a terrific
amount of overlap and it is hard
to allot a fair portion of the
tax dollars out to alt the recrea-
tion areas.
Concerning the Vanastra
day care centre, Mr. Sillery
reminded ratepayers the gov-
ernment is picking up 80 per
cent of the loss so it isn't
costing them very much. He
added it seems to be getting
more and more popular all the
time. However, he said if. he
says it was not being patronized
he would recommend cutting
it off.
Mr. Gates informed the meet-
ing he is interested in a position
on Tuckersmith council, but it
will be another few days be-
fore he decides whether to try
and "knock off" Mr. Sillery in
a bid for reeve or run as a
councillor.
Wilf Sneider, also of Vanas-
tra, said he was going to run
for council as well. "I think I
can be of some help in making
sensible decisions with the 20
years of experience I have had
in industry he said. He added
operating a municipality is
much like operating a business
in that you have to "watch
expenditures and make sensible
decisions, not throw any money
around."
The last person to say he is
considering running for council
was Frank Falconer. Mr. Fal-
coner has had seven years on
council in earlier years. He said
he felt council should "pound
on Clinton's table and tell them
if they don't want us in their
recreation facilities then we
won't go there at all and they
would notice a difference.
Ile added, "If we can't pound
this in then maybe we should
just pay them." However, Mr.
Falconer said he has not de-
finitely decided to run as he
still has to get 10 names on his
nomination papers, and "my
wife's consent."
Ben Brydges, on behalf of
the community of Vanastra,
thanked Reeve Thompson for
the work he has done say-
ing, "Over the past four years
we have seen great improve-
ment in Vanastra." Mr. Bryd-
ges says Vanastra has com-
plained to the township in the

Centennial school near Bruce- Reeve Thompson then went
field. Bad weather conditions on to give a report to the rate-
may have been one of the fact- payers on some of the main
ors keeping the turnout from activities carried out by council
being larger, over the past couple of years.
Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin In the future, Reeve Thomp-
Thompson thanked his council son felt the council would

their support over the past 15 Seaforth concerning the recrea-
years. Reeve Thompson said, tion facilities owned and used
"It's hard when you are quit- by all three municipalities.
ting to know what to say, I Clinton has set a fee of $15
going into sports in town.
However, according to Reeve
Thompson, Vanastra has 98
children enrolled in swimming
courses and they have not laid
any extra charges on those
children,
"Where does the ball stop
rolling?" asked Reeve Thomp-
son and then added, "they
use our facilities and we don't
charge them but we get charg-
ed for using theirs."
Ervin Sillery, deputy-reeve
for Tuckersmith, has also been
on council for 15 years, but for
him it is not over yet. Mr.
Sillery declared he will be a
candidate for reeve in the com-
ing municipal election. Mr. Sil-
lery said it had been wonder-
ful sitting with a reeve such as
Mr. Thompson and that he was
too good a man to put on the
shelf yet.
Councillor Cleve Coombs has
decided to retire from council
after spending 11 years there.
"I feel I should move up the
ladder after 11 years," said Mr.
Coombs, "however, the posi-
tion I'm in now just doesn't give
me the time to do so."
After six years on council,
Bert Branderhorst is also step-
ping down. "There should be a
better man than I am in the
crowd," said Mr. Brander-
horst. "It's time to step down."
Bob Bell has just completed
his first term on council and
said he has enjoyed it very
much. He intends to let his
name stand for deputy-reeve if
the ratepayers see fit to support
him.
Following statements by the
members of council, the rate-
payers had a chance to ask
particular members about
council's actions over the past
two years.
George Townsend asked if
there had ever been any thou-
ght put into finding another
engineer? Reeve Thompson
replied to this saying there had,
but the one they have now is
"pretty darn good". "We
choose the engineer we think is
the most capable," said Reeve
Thompson. "All engineers have
their faults and it is had to
find someone who pleases
everybody." Reeve Thompson
assured Mr. Townsend if he
his was the only nomination
paper received by the clerk of
the township by the deadline
Monday, he is elected by accla-
mation.
Robert Bell is Deputy-Reeve
by acclamation for the town-
ship as his nomination was the
only one received by the clerk
before the deadline.
However, there were eight
nominations received for
the three positions as council
members. They are: Rob Gates,
Robert Drummond, Wilf Schne-
ider, Robert Sotheringham,
Ronald Broome, Frank Fal-
coner, William C. Brown and
Peter F, Jensen.
Those nominated have until
5 p.m. Tuesday to withdraw
their names if they so desire.
Three nominations were
received for the position of
trustee to the Huron Board of
Education. They are Rob Gates,
Kenneth C. Cooke and Mrs.
Dorothy Williams.
The only nomination receiv-
ed for the position of trustee
on the Huron Perth Separate
School Board was Michael
Connolly,
Bean Festival
Annual meeting
The annual meeting of the
Zurich Bean Festival was held
November 3, 1976 at Hay Town-
ship Hall.
Slate of officers for the new
year: president, Jack Eckel;
first vice-president, Herb Turk-
heim; second vice-president,
George Haggitt; secretary, Hel-
en Horner; treasurer, Robert
Redick.
Glen Thiel and Glenn Weido
were named honorary presid-
ents for their many endeavors
in the past 10 years.
Ervin Sillery is the new reeve
of Tuckersmith township. As
wished to have another engin-
eer used, all he would have to
do would be to go to council
and request it.
Another ratepayer asked
council several questions con-
cerning the Sheppherd drain,
The total cost of the drain was
$13,000 and the ratepayer
claimed he and several of his
neighbours were billed for the
drain although they had not
received any notice from council
the work was being done,
Clerk Jim McIntosh explain-
ed the drain had been done un-
der an old by-law as repair
assessment and everyone had
been billed accordingly. Reeve
Thompson added it was cheaper
to do the repair that way. All
the other drains were either
100 'percent or more of the
estimated cost but the Shepherd
drain ran only 96 percent of the
estimated cost.
Rob Gates of Vanastra then
asked several questions of
Mr. Sillery. "I'm not trying to
put you on the spot," he said to
Mr. Sillery, "I just want to
know that I'll be doing the right
thing if I cast a vote for you."
Mr. Gates asked Mr. Sillery
what his stand on regional
government was.
Mr. Sillery said he had voted
to retain the deputy-reeves at
the country level as he felt the
more people you have the more
opinions there are to draw from.
He said he has opposed regional
government as much as poss-
ible, adding if the municipali-
ties get lax, regional govern-
ment may close in.
Mr. Gates then asked Mr.
Sillery if he still believed what
he had said in the past, that
council has to abide by decis-
ions made in Toronto.
Mr. Sillery replied that in
certain circumstances it is
possible to express opinions
very effectively. He says he
and others on several occasions
have gone to Toronto to speak
directly with the ministry in-
volved in a particular problem
and made sure the feelings of
the municipality are known.
He added he can only deal
with the township and vote on
things at the County level as
he sees them, and he has no
power to see what the Ontario
