This is the second year for such a weekend, and we as a committee felt that last year was a great success even if it did have some minor pro- blems that havebeen solved for this year. The committee has met faithfully once a month since last September, involving more people with more activities being planned. The Friday night starts out with the Shriners Fish Fry of fresh white fish fillets follow- ed by a ball game between the Shriners and the Exeter firemen. At 7:30 the CFPL sponsored "Talent Show" is being held again. This time in the rec centre instead of the school because of space and heat. This is being organized by the Exeter Agricultural Society and, like last year, will be an excellent evening of entertainment. The Saturday morning Pan- cake Breakfast is again being hosted by the Exeter Firemen at the fireball on Main Street. For the children there are lots of sports - swim meet, ball games, "Rutabaga Olympics" and the famous TV program the "Polka Dot Door" held at the rec centre with shows at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. This program is spon- • sored by the Lioness club and tickets may be purchased from members or stores downtown. The gigantic parade at 1:00 p.m. will be under the able direction of Don Haines again this year. Remember the parade last year was long and excellent (even with the rain) and this year's is looking bet- ter. The theme is "Heritage Days" so put your thinking caps on and start now to plan your float or entry ... be it large or small give -Don Haines a call. Entries to the craft show are coming in fast. This is go- ing to be a two day show, Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 4:30, held in the arena, as many people didn't find time last year to enjoy the many different exhibits. Remember these are nice to look at but they can also be bought. If you have a craft you would like to show or sell call Wan- da Reynolds and make ar- rangements to rent a table as the Kinettes are in charge of this project. With last year's early mor- ning rain the "Farmers Market" got washed out so this year it is going to be held inside at the Exeter Legion in conjunction with the Flea Market from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Now all you people who are having garage sales how about renting a table at the Legion, (call Percy Noels) or if your garden is really grow- ing help out the Farmers Market - everybody and everything is welcome.

All you can eat - help yourself - roast beef, baked potatoes and sour cream, hot and cold vegetables, salads, rolls, home made apple pie and cheese, coffee or cold drink. All produce grown locally. Advance tickets are on sale at many of the stores downtown so get yours early as we are selling a limited number. This year as a ser- vice to people with young families we are having a FREE "babysitting room" from 4:30 to 7:30 so parents may leave their infants, tod- dlers or pre-schoolers under supervision while they go and enjoy a relaxed meal. The Beef BBQ will be followed by the dance featuring "Prairie Wing" and sponsored by the Junior Farmers. After this very busy Satur- day look forward to a most relaxing, enjoyable and enter- taining Sunday. The Heritage Days committee is holding a "Blue Grass Jamboree" from noon until 7 p.m. at the rec centre grounds. Bring your family, friends and lawn chairs for this seven hours of entertainment.

Heritage Days Committee To the Staff of the Exeter Tines Advocate: On behalf of the staff o[ the Canada Employment Centres for Students in Goderich and Exeter. 1 would like to thank you for your outstanding assistance with this year's HiRE-A-STUDENT campaign. Your coverage of IIIRE-A- STUDENT WEEK exceeded all out expectations. and we greatly appreciate your ef- forts. Hopefully- your coverage will increase the public's awareness of the 198.1 HIRE -A -STUDENT cam- paign and more jobs for students will result. Thank you. Sincerely: Angelina Arts • Supervisor Canada Employment Centres for Students Goderich and Exeter I would like to draw your at- tention to a practice adopted by the Stratford Shakespearean Festival Theatre, which I find questionable. In an effort to reduce mail- ing charges for mailings to American subscribers. the Festival Theatre apparently rents a vehicle and trucks mail across the border where it is mailed within the United States'. This practice is pro- bably 'cost-efficient' but it not only takes work away from Canadian postal workers who would otherwise sort and han- dle the mail. it also takes revenue away from the Cana- dian Postal Service. At least two such mailings occur every year, and i understand that approximately 100.000 pieces of mail go out each time. The Festival Theatre has long been recipient of public assistance from all levels of government. Most recently the Theatre was granted $2 million in Federal funds. and $2 million in Provincial funds for a major expansion pro- ject, with funding contingent on the Theatre raising an ad- ditional $2 million from its -own sources. No one would question that the Theatre is deserving of generous public support. but 1 believe that these grants, and any future funding should also be con- tingent on the Theatre aban- doning these kinds of 'cost - trimming practices. Sincerely. Dave Cooke. MPP Windsor -11 i verside.
