The Fitness Ontario "fit
test" will be returning to
Exeter next week for those
adults wishing to have their
fitness level assessed or re-
assessed,
The testing will be con-
ducted at the South Huron
rec centre on Tuesday
December 11 from 2.00 to
9.00 and again the next day
from 11.00 to 3.30. Anyone
between the ages of 18 and 65
may register by calling the
rec centre at 235-2833. A fee
of $15 is charged to off set the
operating costs of the
program.
The 'fit test' consists of
measures of blood pressure,
respiratory function, aerobic
capacity, muscular en-
durance, muscular strength,
flexibility, body fat and
calculation of ideal body
weight. Following the test
items is an informative
consultation and exercise
prescription session.
When the fit test first
visited Exeter in November
last year, 50 adults from the
community participated. At
the regional level, the fit test
unit had visited over 40
communities in South-
western Ontario during the
first fiscal year of operation,
and over 2,000 individuals
were tested and given
exercise prescriptions.
In this current year of
operation, Fitness Ontario
will also be examining the
results of people who are
being re-tested to determine
if their levels of fitness have
improved. There are already
indications that the people
who followed their
prescriptions have made
improvements on various
physical fitness measures.
Fitness Ontario will also
arrange visits to institutions
and industries to promote
physical fitness and health
while they're visiting in the
area.
They have films and slides
available, and a seven
minute exercise break
program designed to fit into
a coffee break at work.
Anyone wishing to book
films or the exercise
demonstration should
contact John Harrison at the
London YMCA at 433
Wellington St. The phone is
432-3706, extension 53.

AILSA CRAIG
There is no denying that no
one has a busier schedule
than Dear old Santa himself
this time of year. However
he has promised faithfully to
keep his appointment to
attend 'the annual parade in
Ailsa Craig this coming
Saturday at 1 p.m.
In order to give his over
worked reindeer a chance to
rest up for the big night on
December 24, the Ailsa Craig
firemen are making
arrangements for his
transportation into town on
one of the fire trucks.
To give Santa all the pomp
and glory he deserves, one of
London's top marching
bands will be on hand to lead
this year's parade. The
Imperial Drum and Bugle
Corps. a 50 piece band from
London will bring their well
known music to lead the
number of floats along Main
street.
Several have been busy
designing and building their
floats these past weeks and
anyone interested in taking
part in the annual parade , is
more than welcome to do so.
Prizes will be awarded for
the best entries.
Night class
is popular
By JOY SCHEIFELE
Wednesday evening the
conclusion of a successful
night course took place at the
Senior Citizens' Activity
Centre in Ailsa Craig.
An eight week wood-
working course, sponsored
by Fanshawe College, was
held each Wednesday
evening at the Craigweil
Gardens Activity Centre.
Six students included one
woman, sawed, drilled,
sanded and polished each
evening with most satisfying
results. At its conclusion the
novice workers were able to
carry home end tables,
bookshelves, planters, and
even a child's desk;
whatever they had chosen to
tackle during the instruction
sessions.
While most of the students
were local, two gentlemen
faithfully made the drive
each week from Thedford.
Many expressed ap-
preciation for the course and
instructor, Joe Kuracina,
and hope that a similar
course can again be held.
The Activity Centre is open
for them to continue prac-
ticing their skills on their
own also.
At the conclusion of the
parade Santa himself, will
meet all the children at the
town's firehall and present
each with a special little
treat to mark the occasion,
City folks

The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture doesn't like city
folk who live in the country
and complain about farm
smells and noise while hav-
ing the power to restrict
farmers in their operations.
The annual federation con-
vention passed a resolution
asking the province to
replace the Agricultural
Code of Practice which, it
said, allows urban intrusion
into farmland and gives non-
farmers a basis for com-
plaints.
The federation argues that
farming is an industry and,
if city people decide to move
to the country, they should
realize they are moving to
the country. they should
realize they are moving into
an industrial zone with its
odors and sounds.
"It always puts the onus
on farmers to change their
methods of farming," im-
mediate past-president
Peter Hannam told
delegates.
He also said urban-
oriented rural politicians too
often opt in favour of non-
farmers in such environmen-
tal disputes.
To put the onus on the non-
farmer, the federation
wants the government to
replace the agricultural
code with these measures:
• Provincial and
municipal governments
should change agricultural
zoning to be permissive
rather than restrictive to the
farm industry. Zoning should
limit the ability of non-farm
uses to restrict agricultural
practices;
• A provincial code of
rights should be established
to provide backing for
agricultural zoning bylaws;
• Provincial and regional
committees of farmers
should be established to
define what normal farming
practices would be per-
mitted, and to investigate
and arbitrate complaints
against farmers.

Ronald Marcy, 44, of
Stratford, was elected
chairman of the Huron-Perth
county Roman Catholic
Separate school board at a
meeting in Dublin Monday.
He defeated John O'Leary of
Staffa.
Mr. Marcy, head of the
mathematics department at
Northwestern Secondary
school in Stratford, succeeds
William Kinahan of
Lucknow.
Ronald Murray, 43, a
Dublin area farmer, was
acclaimed vice-chairman.
Ronald Marcy said one of
the main things facing the
board in the coming year is
declining enrolment as it has
been in the past two years.
He said the board has faced
this by changing boundaries
in Stratford and triple
grades in some schools,
Mr. Marcy said staffing
was a concern with the 19
schools in the system
overstaffed according to the
board's formula. In 1980 he
said he is hopeful of getting
the staff to what it should be
according to formula.
In Kingsbridge integrated
transportation has been
working out satisfactorily
and saving the board money,
he said, and hoped this could
be continued in other areas.
He said the primary thing
is to think of the children and
aim to provide the best of
education for them.
Ron Murray said, "If I'm
needed, I'll be here."
Rev. Tony Sonderup,
Wingham, Dean of Stratford
Deanery, asked, "How can
we get the enrolment? Have
we gotten into the habit of
thinking 'small is beautiful'?
Can we not think more
positively and think of larger
families?"
The board passed a
borrowing by-law of $3
million to be used to carry on
board business until current
revenue has been received.
This is up a half million
