Exeter council reconsider
their decision last week
denying water extension to
the firm's' proposed new
location on the southern
outskirts of town,
"Council voted it down and
that's the end of the ball

week, "It's a dead issue,"
He indicated the firm will
still go ahead with plans to
relocate, but that project will
probably only proceed once
the present location on Main

Williamson said several
people have expressed an
interest in the property.

Friedsburg Days are
sponsored by the Dashwood
firemen and all proceeds go
for community betterment.
The talk and presentation
touched on a wide range of
subjects, and looked at
everything from swine
management to preparing a
sample income tax return.
"Most farmers seem to
want this bookeeping ser-
vice," said John VanBeers, a
vice-president with the
Huron Federation. "The cost
for preparing the income tax
and the bookkeeping is about
$300 which is very
reasonable."
Mr. VanBeers introduced
the Canfarm representative
to the meeting, and after his
talk Mr. Little headed a
question period.
Another new face in-
troduced at the meeting was
that of Johannes Jarvalt,
who is the new Ontaro

(OFA) lawyer. He replaced
Jim Murray, and has been at
his post now for a little more
than three weeks.

background.

slightly this week, but still

report from` federation
county field man, Bill

drive which began in April
and resulted in an increase
to 2,114 members.
There will be another

looking for new interest.
The July meeting, which
was held at Seaforth Public
Schbol, was not as well at-
tended as those in the past
and organizers attribute the

corn crop expected to be
matured for harvest by
August 25.
About the corn crop,
Urquhart said, "Although
the early crop had poor
germination due to dry
weather the later corn is
coming along beautifully. I
have never corn as green in
colour. We couldn't ask for
healthier looking stalks.
The local manager said
although the firm had
received more than 1,000
applications for summer
employment, it was difficult
to get workers for weekend
shifts.
About 28 offshore workers
from Jamiaca are expected
in town about August 25 in
time for the corn pack.
