Efforts of Hensall snowplows built the mound, and it looked like a great place for sledding. ens Calves arrive for feeder club Veterans will test their skills too The calves to be groomed for the 1982 Hensall fair by the Hensall Feeder Calf Club arrived at the town's sales barn last Wednesday. Although one disgruntled parent was heard to remark that the calves were so late this year they must have walked from Cochrane, Alberta, a quick check of the records showed the arrival date last yearwasDecember- 14, only nine days earlier. Each young person wishing a calf drew a number in the sales barn of- fice, then went to find the corresponding number on one of the 25 calves. This year there will be an extra class. To add interest and excitement, Grant McGregor, RR 3 Kippen, had suggested an over -21 class, open to anyone who wanted to see if he or she still remembered how to look after and train a calf. Grant's wife Gladys, secretary -treasurer of the Hensall fair, was chuckling as she supervised the calf draw. "It will be good fun," she said. "These fathers were always after their kids. I can just hear the kids now, tell- ing their fathers to get down to the barn and look after the calf!" Lloyd Cooper, RR 3 Kippen, one of the 12 to register in the over -21 class, loaded two of the handsome Herefords, one for son Scott and one for himself. He hasn't shown a calf for at least 30 years, but was not worried about youthful com- petition. "You can't beat ex- perience," he said confident- ly. The two classes will be judged separately, and the winners from each will then Special music features Hensall church services Hensall United Church presented a "Christmas Festival of Music" to a full house on Sunday.

McDonald's message was "The shadow over the manger". The birth of Jesus was good but the evil wishes and acts of Herod foreshadowed the rejection by men of God's gift to them. which ultimately led to the cross. God's gift was His Son The cross reminds us how far we have to go for peace on earth. Jesus was God's gift to mankind - what is our gift to Him?. The ushers for the service were Jeff Corbett, Brian Bee. Ken McLean and Cecil Pepper and Steve Corbett welcomed at the door.

If these merchants want the public to support them the best they can do is to keep sidewalks clean. Other towns with much larger snowfalls take care of their walks. It is shameful to watch seniors and handicaps trying to navigate Exeter's sidewalks. Why should someone risk breaking a hip to go up town while the lazy store owner rests his duff on the steam pipes. If you have not noticed how bad the sidewalks are in Exeter its about time you traveled to other towns. It would seem, Mr. Editor, that snow really puts your pen in high gear. In the past I read column after column of your harrowing ex- perience in a rest area off 401 during a snow storm. Did you not know sir that this is common place in Ontario in the winter. It must have been one of your most thrill- ing episodes. Why not ask your boss for two weeks off so that you can travel in On- tario more, visit our towns, educate yourselt. As an editor you have let some real meaty issues breeze right past without a comment. Thank God for snow. If you cannot think of anything constructive to fill your alloted space, why not use doodiling, it would sure- ly be as mind stimulating, and perhaps give the reader an insight into your mysterious depths. Lloyd Churchill was dead. "And I bet I was the only guy out combing his calf Christmas day'', Grant moaned. McGregor has already purchased another calf. If the price is good when the calves are sold at the fair next year, and If only one or two calves have had to be replaced, a small sum will be deducted from each che- que to compensate those who lost calves. bast year only two club members had to be reimbursed. McGregor is keeping his fingers crossed. J11111111111111111111,11 IZ The Light Tough By JACK LAVENDER Sign above store's leftover Christmas decorations: "All that glittered was not sold."
