In the meantime, we will for more than 24 hours before pickup! take advance orders should anyone . I really feel her time would be bet - Dear Bill, As you know, I have written a song about our town and the unique attrac- tion of our white squirrels. The pro- ject has been designed to accomplish a number of worthwhile results among which are the following: a tangible product (records and tapes) which would promote our communi- ty; another method to stimulate in- terest -from others toward Exeter as a possible site for future commercial, industrial, or residential development by means of the information about Exeter and area outlined in the nar- rated promotion on the flip side of the record; and, perhaps most important of all, a fresh way of stating what most of our citizens have known and felt for generations ... how good it is to live in Exeter. The financial support for this pro- ject has come in the form of invest- ment rather than outright donation. All monies realized by the sale of the recording will be returned to the in- vestors in the same percentage as their contribution. Depending on the success of the record, the investor may see anywhere from 50 - 150 per- cent return on the initial investment, as well as benefit from the advertis- ing printed on the record sleeve or cassette case. Moreover, the sponsors gain the satisfaction of having participated in a spirit -lifting venture. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to express my apprecia- tion to a number of very special peo- ple in our town: all the businesses, groups, associations, and individuals who have supported this project by financial investment or by providing a service; all the supportive citizens of Exeter who braved the inclement weather last Firday night and held on until it became clear that the concert was rained out; and especially a group of young men who are not only superb musicians but are gentlemen in every way, my very good friends, Tony, Drew, Burke, and Darren. Due to this co-operative communi- ty enthusiasm, the song is presently at the recording studio stage and we anticipate a completion date of late summer. We have rescheduled our concert in conjunction with the Jug Band whose assistance we appreciate greatly. The concert is now set for August 22. Watch for more details in upcoming weeks. We will also be making ar- rangements to perform at the Exeter Fall Fair in September and have the Area native reaches 100 Mrs. Emma Passmore will celebrate her 100th birthday on August 11. 1986. A reception honoring this joyous occasion will be held for family and friends in the Activity Room, Ottawa East Villa Nursing Ilome, 2179 Elmira Drive, Ottawa from 2 - 4 p.m. Mrs. Passmore was born in Usborne township, the daughter of Mrs. Emma G. Passmore John and Matilda Peart. February 2, 1916 she married Norman Passmore and lived on the Passmore farm on Thames Road. In the mid -1840's they moved to Ex- eter where they lived until 1968 at which time they moved to Ottawa where an only son, Russell, resides. Her husband, Norman, passed away • in 1976. She then resided with her son and his family until 1981. ' Mrs. Passmore is now a resident of West End Villa Nursing home, and is • confined to a wheel -chair. Other than her inability to get around she is in good health. enjoys the various ac- tivities of the.nursing home and still crochets every day, watches TV and fondly remembers her relatives and friends in Exeter area. She enjoys visits from six grand- children and five great granchildren, all of whom are expected to par- ticipate in birthday celebrations, ar- Vancouver, Edmonton and Digby, Nova Scotia for the event. wish to ensure a copy for themselves as quantities are limited. Finally, to all who had hoped to hear the debut of our song last Friday night, the demo tape from the studio will be ready in a few days and will ter spent oning a recycling depot. I'm a* there a demand and a need. Local residents could sort and label their garbage - paper - glass - metal. Or maybe residents would even be played publicly at various times _ consider delivering their own recyclable garbage to a depot where some company in the recycling business could come and get it. For example - just think of all the pop cans crushed on the road - most of them say "made of recyclable steel". With this heat, there are probably millions° of thenrgoing to the dump. Why - the town might even make some money on it - if they tried something positive instead of worry- ing about who sets their garbage out * * * • for 24 hours and one minute! Yours truly.
