On Saturday afternoon the step dancing competition and jamboree gets un­ derway with the winners in that competition putting on an exhibition of their skills Saturday evening. It’s the evening which produces the most excite­ ment with the champions in each division being declared. Things are all set to go for the 11th annual edition of the Hensall twilight spring fair according to fair president Bob Baker. Baker told the newspaper Monday that activities will get underway this Tuesday at five p.m. when over 100 horses will vie for prizes in 32 divisions of the horse show. The fair will officially be opened at 6:30 by Huron- Middlesex MPP Jack Rid­ dell following a parade that should have about 40 entries, Baker said. The feature attraction of the fair will be the feeder calf club show which Baker said provides an opportunity for many future farmers to prove their ability in feeding, grooming and showmanship. The other features of the fair are the baby show which takes place at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Hensall and district community centre. One hour later the junior talent show will get underway. The fair has something for all ages with a midway scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. 16 be Ball tourney set at Kirkton A tournament involving slow-pitch ball teams will held in Kirkton over the week end.

T-A photo Won't cut cost, for Kinsmen Hensail to review grant structure Hensall council decided to review its grant policy Mon­ day night after turning down a request from the local Kinsmen Club for free use of the community centre for their two-day Ontario Fiddlers Contest. Councillor Paul Neilands said he had checked out the situation at the South Huron rec centre and found there was no reduction in arena rental fees there for service clubs. Neilands told Hensall council, “there’s no way they’re (Exeter arena) sub­ sidizing service clubs.” Reeve Harold Knight said he might be in conflict speaking to the motion since he was a life member of the Kinsmen Club but said he thought it was time the village of Hensall had a policy on how they give grants. The Kinsmen are being charged $400 in rental fees for the use of the arena’s ice surface area, the kitchen, conference room and park for the two-day period of the fiddlers’ competition. Neilands pointed out that rental fees at the Exeter arena are higher than in Hensall. Although some members of council expressed con­ cern that the Kinsmen would feel it was unfair that their 203 DURHAM E. MEMBER AMERICAN GEM SOCIETY (g) 284 MAIN ST. EXETER 235-2468 26 MAIN ST. S.

Council decided it will review the whole grant pic­ ture at a later date. The ministry of culture and recreation granted the town $1,940 to employ three students for the summer recreational program. The three students hired from 25 applicants were Janet Bilcke, Marilyn Pepper and Julie Ingram. In the report of the Hen­ sall parks board, the new arena manager, Bill Pear­ son, reported he is concern­ ed over the performance and maintenance of the ice plant. He was instructed to try to obtain a firm commit­ ment from the company which sold the town the ice plant equipment. Neiland told council the parks board wanted to thank the ball team for installing lights at the ballpark and repairing and painting the bleachers. He said the ball diamond is now “the best lit ballpark in Huron County.” Council was also advised they would receive a grant for $1,800 under regulation 200 from the ministry of culture and recreation to pay part of the arena/ maintenance costs and the salaries of recreation employees in 1978. Council was also notified that a court of revision on the assessment on the Main Branch Black Creek drain will be heard at the hay township hall on June 26 at 8 p.m. Although council members said they felt the town’s assessment was high, they didn’t feel a reduction in the assessment would merit the lawyer’s fees needed to launch an appeal. The cost for the village on roads and streets assess­ ment is $3,225. Council received a request for financial assistance for the Field-Spring Disaster Relief Fund, Sturgeon Falls, for their flood disaster fund. The settlement of eligible claims from this spring’s flood in the area is expected to exceed $3 million. Hensall council voted to send $50 to the relief fund, and the province will match this sum on a four to one basis. After granting money to the relief fund, council members voted not to attend the AMO annual conference in Toronto in August. Reeve Knight told fellow council members, “We’ve shot our wad as far as conventions go.” Clerk Betty Oke informed council there is a holdup in the signing of the Bendix Corp, and Bolger storm sewer easement. She said the Reid easement also hasn’t been signed. Council was also notified that the village of Bayfield has applied for an arbitra­ tion of its 1979 education ap­ portionment and a meeting of the county treasurers is scheduled at the board of education offices in Clinton on June 25. Clerk Oke will represent Hensall at the hearings. Last year the town of Bayfield objected to their 1978 apportionment and were successful in winning the appeal. Councillors endorsed a resolution from the town of Seaforth “to petition the At­ torney General of Ontario to conduct an aggressive and thorough study of time­ consuming court room procedures prevalent in On­ tario courts and further to analyse sentences being handed down from the bench for various crimes.” Reeve Knight pointed out that delays in court procedures are particularly costly for towns with their own police forces, since the police are often paid over­ time to attend court, and then cases are put over to a later date. The reeve said, “Police sit in courts at the expense of taxpayers.”. Councillors agreed that the leniency of the courts in passing sentence no longer acted as a deterrent for someone committing a crime. Harry Klungel and Clerk Betty Oke were authorized to represent council at a regional planning meeting in London on June 26. Council approved a bylaw appointing Roy Bell to the vacant seat on the Hensall Parks Board. Bell is taking over the position left vacant by Wayne Reid’s resigna­ tion. School trips Continued from front page problems that could develop over field trips into Quebec. He added that there was no reason to doubt the ef­ ficiency of supervision on school field trips. He said there was a chance for a mishap but the only way to avoid that was to put students “in glass cages”. Goderich trustee Dave Gower pointed out that while the board has the op­ portunity. to approve or disapprove of field trips the timing sometimes restricts what the board can do. He said by the time the trip is up for board approval arrangements for the trip have already been made and the final decision becomes a formality. He said he would like approval for trips to be requested earlier than it is now. Despite the concern no change was made in the field trip policy. ALBERT STREET, CLINTON - 482 3901 Business Directory Horse show Continued from front page are used to maintain the local activities of the club throughout the summer. Our expenses this year were $1,794. About 10 years ago I would guess our ex­ penses were near $600. The cost of hauling is also get­ ting very expensive which cuts down somewhat on en­ tries.” Malone said nearly all of Saturday’s profits of $481 could be attributed to the successful fpod booth operated by the ladies of the saddle club. Bob Parsons is president of the Exeter saddle club. The judge for Saturday’s event was Ken Copenhaver of Camden, Ohio and Wayne Longfield of Thamesford was arena director. The AQHA show secretaries are Sue Nye and Marie Robert­ son. Joanne Malone of Cen­ tralia is the only local saddle club member competing on a regular basis on the quarter horse show circuit, She will be taking part in 40 shows this summer in all parts of the country. Currently Joanne is first in the standings for youth western pleasure with her horse Miss Sundial and us third in Ontario all-round youth. The executive and members of the Ex­ eter Saddle Club would like to ex­ press their sincere appreciation to the following sponsors whose generous co- operation and assistance con­ tributed to the success of the 1979 Mid-Western Quarter Horse Show.
