Local store is honored for 50 -year association There's one appliance atRussell Electric in Exeter that isn't for sale. It's a 193$ model regrigerator, similar to the first one that was stock- ed at the store when it started selling General Electric Appliances in that year. That refrigerator still works and is one of the reasons why that brand of appliances has been faithfully endors- ed by the store through those five decades.

The clock had been decorated with laser beam technology, a far cry from the technology that went into that 1935 refrigerator. Making the presentation during a dinner at Robindale's on Tuesday were regional sales manager John Dieroff and sales representative Paul Ingram. The present partners and their families attended, along with Mrs. Earl Russell, widow of one of the former owners. General Electric appliances were first sold from the location when it was owned by the late W. J. Beer. The latter operated a harness and automotive supply store. In 1941, the business was bought by the late Earl Russell and Gerald (Pat) Skinner, former employees. Skinner sold his share of the business to his partner in 1942 after going overseas for World War II. He returned to work in the ap- pliance business with the Russells un- til 1983, some 59 years after starting SURVIVAL THROUGH FRIENDSHIP HOUSE OF HURON COUNTY 134 McDonald St. Goderich We provide 24 hour a day service to all women who have been or are in the process of: SEPARATION or DIVORCE.

Times -Advocate, September 18, 1985 Page 3 Drinking drivers given fines and suspensions Four area residents, all of whom pleaded guilty to drinking and driv- ing charges, were fined $500 each when they appeared before Judge Gary Hunter in Exeter court, Tuesday. Their licenses were suspended for three months. Fined were Peter A. Dearing, RR 1 Exeter; Terry E. Grasdahl former- ly of RR 2 Crediton and now 430 Marlbourough St., Exeter; Mary Theresa O'Brien, Dashwood; and Reg.

Grasdahl was charged on August 8 after being stopped for unusually slow driving. A subsequent breathalizer test gave a reading of 220 mgs. A breathalizer test on Stagg, who was stopped for erratic driving on August 27, gave a reading of 300 mgs. All three men pleaded guilty to im- paired driving charges, while the Dashwood woman was given the $500 fine on a charge of driving with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit.

Fined $200 on a charge of causing a disturbance was Alan Richard Demasson, RR 1 Zurich. The charge stemmed from an incident on August 23 when a motorist found his path blocked by another vehicle on a road near Zurich. After helping push the vehicle off the road, the witness reported seeing the accused beating another person in the stranded car and the witness fled to his home near- by. The person being attacked also ar- rived at the home of the witness to seek safety. When police arrived, they found the accused sleeping in the ditch outside the home of the witness and he started to shout when aroused. Evidence was that Demasson had been drinking. Robert Schofield, RR 1 St. Marys, was fined a total of $200 on two charges of fraud arising from in- cidents where an Exeter store was given two cheques for groceries. The first cheque was given to the store on May 15 for $174.23 and was returned because Schofield's account did not have sufficient funds. On August 30, he tendered a cheque in the amount of $76.25 but a store employee recognized the accused and called police. The court learned that the accused had made restitution' The Crown Attorney agreed to withdraw charges against three men involved in a fight at a Huron Park tavern on June 23 with the stipulation each post a 8500 peace bond. The three were told that a $500 fine would be imposed if the bond was breached within 12 months. Agreeing to the terms of the bond were Floyd Riley, Robert D. Riley and Harry William Webster. The court learned the three men were usually friends and that minor in- juries had been suffered in the scuffle. ttt� r s�'stt=ta, ta�e� " w - Es n tep .1 al=sNNW" E�to—t NORr tta•aMN"'IdlermanErx..1 Enjoy Lessons!
