By JOY SCHEIFELE Over the weekend Ailsa Craig literally became "Turtle Town" when the ,countdown to the turtle races in the Gala Days Celebrations found close to 250 turtles registered for the big event! It was difficult to imagine that any turtles could be left enjoying their freedom in the surrounding ponds and river as big, little, fast and timid turtles raced in the 19 heats held Saturday afternoon. On the lifting of their bot- tomless cage some immediately headed for the outer rim of the circle 25 feet away hoping for independence, only to hestitate a few inches from the finish line to lose the race, while others ventured cautiously, and still others simply plodded their way to victory. It was difficult to predict the winner in most cases. The winner in each heat was awarded a $10 trophy and $2 while the second place winner received $2 and third place $1. The finals were held Sunday with Brad Roth, Ailsa Craig taking the "Ontario Cham- pionship", and Craig Cham- drivers for speeding, ignoring stop signs , and that the traffic situation at Vanastra has im- proved. Clerk Jack McLachlan was authorized to list township telephone numbers such as township garage, clerk's office, Vanastra recreation centre and Vanastra day care centre in both Seaforth and Hensall telephone listings as well as Clinton for the new telephone directory to come out in October. He was authorized to order a new sign for the township office in the former Bank of Montreal building at Vanastra. Reeve Ervin Sillery said con- firmation has not come yet froth the bank head office confirming the lease arrangements and ren- tal fee. Mr. McLachlan was authorized to hire Helen Colson who works part time at the Vanastra Recreation Centre, to do typing in his office two afternoons per week, His hours were set frzorrt, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p,rn. Road superintendent Allan Nicholson, who reported the township garage roof is leaking, was told to get tenders for repairing it. Passed for payment were the remuneration fees paid to members of council amounting to $2,018.75 for the first half of the year. Council pasSed a bylaw giving authority to the fire chiefs of each town with a fire board agreement with the township, to act in the township in case of fires and outlining each fire area. Requests for building permits were granted to Robert Kinsmen of Kippen for granary and James Brown, Egrnondville, a porch.

The Gala Day Celebrations got off to a good start Saturday noon with the annual "Turtle Parade". Weather aids gala event By JOY SCHEIFELE Perfect summer weather no doubt contributed a great deal to the success of the evening bar-b- ques and early Sunday morning breakfast part of the Ailsa Craig's Gala Day Celebrations. Saturday evening found ap- proximately 350 sitting down to the steak bar-b-que with around 350 enjoying "breakfast in the park" Sunday morning, Even as the few early risers were arriving at 7 a.m. for the breakfast, preparations were already well underway for the evening steak bar-b-que, as John Bender carefully tended the roast in the outdoor ovens. Throughout the night John Bender, Jim Walsh, Owen and Rob Bice and John Ropp had taken turns adding charcoal to the fires to maintain the correct heat to cook the 12 roasts of beef weighing a total of 525 lbs. By Sunday evening they were done to perfection, and over 400 en- joyed generous servings. The Rev. Art Newsham pulled the winning tickets Saturday evening on the Gala Day draw in Ailsa Craig. Doug Norton, Ailsa Craig was the winner of the patio set, I. McLaughlin, Parkhill won the men's 10 speed bike and Don Dietrich, R,R. 8, Parkhill the winner of the Ladies' ten speed. Coach Donna Walsh drew the winning • ticket on the minor baseball draw for the radio. Ken McAlpine, Ailsa Craig was the lucky winner. Dorothy Mitchell, Nairn was the lucky winner Sunday night of a hand made quilt which had been displayed earlier in the Superior Store. in,Ailsa%Craig. 4n • Two Egmondville residents were told by Tuckersmith township council Tuesday night to ask for a meeting with the Huron County Planning Board to express their objections to the township zoning bylaw, The bylaw applies to a triangle bounded by Seaforth, Clinton and Brucefield and was initiated in 1972 in order to allow Vanastra residents to be given deeds to property they had purchased there. William C. Brown, owner of a car wrecking yard and Louis McNichol, trucker, both of Egmondville, attended the coun- cil session at Brucefield concern- ed that their properties were zoned residential along with all other properties in Egmondville. While their business places are legal, should they be "destroyed by a tornado" or burned they would be unable to rebuild. Mr. Brown was concerned as he, is considering selling his OfeCItifig yak d'o E.4:25'aerest; Councillor Frank Falconer suggested that the men get up a delegation of other commercial businesses and go as a body to Tuckersmith hears objections The Turtle Express took the favourite in the parade winning the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce trophy, AS mother, Mrs. Jim Walsh towed the ex- press to victory with Kim and Jimmy Walsh and Geoffrey on board with the Walsh family turtles, The Turtle Hunters, otherwise known as the Peter Kraft family, boarded the family boat trimmed with nets and took second place winning the Sill trophy, The Earl Ross Trophy was won by the Bill Sutherland family who took third place, In the bicycle division, Jimmy Cockswoth won first place and received $5; Linda Collins, second for $3; and the Sutherland children received $2 for third place. Judging the floats were Harold Guilfoyle, Marg Tweddle and Mrs, H. Morton.
