In charge of the sale of tools and equipment were auc- tioneers Don Rathwell- and LAssociates of Seaforth. He and his associate took turns. Also they had their own staff for registering, clerking and handling the payments. To the west of the . Garage the grade 9 - students had a lunch booth set up and they, were assisted by Mrs. Judy (Gerald) Coiling, Doug Coultes, and, ~John La Flair. ` Besides the students had a bake sale and car wash to, "gather funds for .a coming trip. The general comment; of those in attendance at the sale was that .,the auc- tioneers did a good job. The parked cars lined the main streets and space was hard to find at times. Radiosondes or weather balloons sent up at different places in. the United States have been landing in the area during the past week. These radiosondes are carried up to a height of 17 miles and ' then . the parachute brings them 4lown for a landing. Last week the warm . winds were blowing from the south: On Tuesday evening of last week, May 8, one was found on the farm of G. Meurs on the fouth Concession west in Huron township when they were working in the fields. On Wednesday evening his wife Mrs. Sylvia Meurs and daughter Marian brought .it to the house here. It must have made a soft landing' as everything was ' intact even to a small light bulb.On Friday afternoon a man brought another one to the housee here, and Fran told hith what it was, At the time the writer does not have his name. Up for • the ,day at the sale last Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hodge were her sister and husband Mr. and Mrs. Ben Fisher, of Exeter. 'Last Wednesday through to Friday this area had really .hot summer weather with temperatures from" 86 to 90 on the Fahrenheit scale. Tractors were out everywhere as farmers .were getting the fields seeded or ready to be sown. But not a white sea gullcould be seen whereas at other times there are generally large flocks in the fields being worked. Morrison MacKenzie of Inverhuron 'informs us that the rapid change from cold to warm weather has killed schools of these alewife fish in Lake Huron and even while -the fish were being washed still alive and flapping around the gulls were grabbing them. The gulls are so busy and full of eating fish along the shore that they are unable to fly inland to look for ear- thworms in the fields. Mrs. Isla Clampitt called last week to say that contributions of clothing, small household articles and left over cotton cloth from sewing and suitable for quilt patches may be left at Mrs. Judy van Kooten's, shop in the . old Royal Bank at the mainstreet corner before June 7. These will be gratefully received and offered at the Figure Skating Rummage Sale Among those in hospital from this area • are Leonard Irwin of Ripley, . and Howard Thompson of the nor- theast boundary in Huron township. Both are in Kincardine hospital and Reg Moore is in Victoria hospital in London. Reg was able to' be home again this past weekend. Last Friday evening the annual prom dance was held in the. High School auditorium. With the nice warm evening young couples dressed up for 'the occasion were seen walking downto the school.
