More than 600 parents and friends of students, and younger brothers and sisters contemplating future study at the college,braved the chilly November winds and sporadic' icy showers to tour the various buildings on cam- pus. In the cosy warmth of Huron, Bruce and Grey, Halls, the animal technology and engineering buildings, the visitors toured the many exhibits set up and manned by the students. Guests could sit at the con- sole of a computer, peer through a microscope at live and dead bacteria, test their' weed identification skills, view the inner secrets of a dissected cat, see how to make (laky piecrust and flaming crepe suzettes, watch a water flume demonstrate the effects of wind and snow on farm buildings, sit down for a few minutes to drink a free cup of coffee, then con- tinue on to more of the many informative and interesting examples of students putting their recently acquired knowledge into practice. This year all males in the student body were challenged to a cake -baking contest, an innovative move by Shirley Hus, second year student in the Food .

Each of the six entrants was given exactly the same recipe, ingredients,and equipment. For some inex- plicable reason three cakes overflowed their pans while baking. The cakes were judged on texture, overall appearance, palatability and appearance. Mike Mueller, CCAT rec director, was the winner. All six cakes were on exhibit in Grey Hall during the open house. Principal Doug Jamieson .said he was impressed with the quality of the displays, which represented a .lot .of work by the student body, who do most of the organizing for an open house, calling on the staff for advice and assistance when needed. When CCAT opened in 1967, Jamieson was the second staff member,; hired. He was appointed principal two years later. In that time the Huron native has presided Over the steady growth of the agricultural college from an initial enrolment of 75 to this year's 340. CCAT offers diploma courses in Animal Health Technology, Agricultural Business Management, Consumer and Community Studies and Food Services Management.. Though the majority of students come from within the province, others list their home address as Hong Kong, Uganda, and Ghana. After many of the visitors had enjoyed an economical and delicious dinner in the cafeteria they became the au- dience for a happy little ceremony. As a reward for students' hard work at this year's Internatiohal Plowing Match, chairman of gates and parking Fred Dobbs presented a cheque for $3,000 to student coordinator Bill Benning. Each day of the five-day event a fresh batch of 45 volunteers staffed the ticket entrance booths, guided ex- hibitors to parking spots, and assisted with traffic flow con- trol. They went beyond the call of duty. On one occasion a group of young men refused to pur- chase their tickets unless they also received a kiss from the pretty female students. The girls complied. One young man left his lunch bag in the wrong spot and saw it crush- ed beneath the wheels of an exiting truck. In his thank\vou remarks, Benning said the cheque would be deposited in the stu- dent activities fund, and ex - Fire calls could go through dispatch The possibility of allowing local fire departments to be serviced by the Huron police communications system is under consideration. The discussion arose from a request from the Goderich fire department to use the central dispatch system and Mayor Bruce Shaw said this week that the Exeter and "We love dressing your windows...

There is also the possibili- ty that the central dispatch could become involved with ambulance calls so residents of the five county towns would be served in all emergencies by the system. Police Chief Ted nay told council the major considera- tions will be• in getting ap- proval from the Ontario Police Commission and the Ontario Fire Marshal's office, although he noted that there are two counties in the pro- vince where the central dispatch -is used for -alt police, fire and ambulance emergen- cy calls. The matter will be discuss- ed further by county officials. In a recommendation from the police committee this week, council approved the elevation of Dan Kierstead from a second class constable to first class. The promotion is retroac- tive to February 10, 1982. Exeter permits up Building,permits valued at $128,580.61 were approved by building inspector Brian Johnston during the month of October.

There were 17 permits for residential renovations and additions at $50,251.61, seven permits for toolsheds, car- ports, sundecks and garages at $8,659 and one for an in- stitutional renovation at $670.

Previous gifts from the stu- dent body have included a trophy case, and tables and chairs for the student lounge. This year an illuminated directory sign was donated by the Students Activities Coun- cil and the Ahmuli Ceremony. Takingpp1rtjn the unveiling and dedication were Don Orth, director of student af- fairs, Cliff Thompson, past president of the Alumni Association, Linda Denham, current Alumni Association president, Doug Osborne, past president of the students' council and current president John Froklage. Jamieson explained that the sign, oh the approach road west of Huron Hall, is con- nected to the street lights. By special arrangement, the lights and the sign were turn- ed on as he spoke. Jamieson said he was gratified more than 50 per- cent of former students were lifetime members of the Alumni Association. The open house was a suc- cess. The following day, many young people who had toured the CCAT campus the day before returned to find out more about becoming CCAT students. Harbour building Continued from page 12A bly a Laundromat. .Any disagreement on loca- tion of the building has been cleared up. Village council, the harbour committee and the South Beach Association have agreed on the south side of the Ausable River next to Manore's Marina as the site. The federal government will pay for the building estimated to cost about $100,000 and has also approv- ed a $5,000 grant to pay for the first phase of a long range study of the harbour area. The Grand Bend harbour committee has engaged Spriet ana Associates of Lon- don to carry out the study and the co remittee is waiting for the study's terms of reference to be approved by the federal small crafts and harbours branch. The long range study is ex- pected to determine the best use of the harbour and the Ausable River within the Grand Bend village limits.
