The Wurlitzer jukebox is 34 years old, and still running. Wurlitzer entertains If you have always wanted to hear an original 78 rpm disc of Frank Sinatra or Perry Como but couldn't, now you can listen to them while having a bit to eat and drink besides. Good Times, a new eatery in Exeter's Center Mall, has an original 1947 Wurlitzer jukebox on the premises for its customers to use. In its heyday, about 56,000 of them were made and distributed all over the continent. The only modern touches to the machine are the lights and bubble tubes on the front, which were installed by a Hamilton antique restorer. The records are all authentic and were donated from numerous sources, according to manager Lee Galloway. Bringing the relic into the new mini -restaurant was the idea of Len Veri, the owner, and his cousin Michael, who is part owner of the PeeWee's Piz zeria chain in Hamilton. The jukebox Is kept running during the lunch hour by the staff who periodically drop in a quarter to help encourage the patrons to do likewise. The machine holds 24 records. A tape is used during slack times. Galloway said there are about 75 more records in storage. She is responsible for looking after the operation of the jukebox, such as changing the records once in a while. At the moment the record stacker holds mainly Christmas music. Succeeds Zurich man Times -Advocate, December 16, 1981 Pogo 3 Howick reeve wins Huron post Hawick Township, after 25 years, has produced another warden for Huron County. Reeve of that township, Harold Robinson, 68, was elected as warden December 8, defeating Goderich Township reeve Grant Stirling. The last warden from Howick was Harold Gowdy, a man who the new warden says encouraged him into politics. Mr. Gowdy was warden in 1957, a year after Howick's centennial. Warden Robinson takes a chair following Howick's 125th anniversary this year. In his first speech as warden, Mr. Robinson said it is a "humbling experience" to sit in the warden's chair. He asked county council to keep Huron County "one of the banner counties of the province". Councillor William New- ton of Howick referred to the new warden as "a man of in- tegrity. honesty and sincerity", adding his is a "frugal" man. In keeping with that idea, prior to his election, Warden Robinson said one of the main issues he will be deal- ing with is inflation. In the official ceremony, County Judge F.G. Carter administered the oath of of- fice and then congratulated the new warden. He also had words of praise for Reeve Stirling. for allowing the democratic process to work. 4.
