STARTING Harold Cudmore is rebuilding the barn that was destroyed earlier this year in a fire. The
1911 Russell car was the only salvageable vehicle of seven antique cars that had been housed in the barn.

Loses antique cars
Harold Cudmore is still mourning
the loss of some dear old friends. Ile
lost six antique cars when his barnal
RI( 1 Hensall was destroyed in a
disastrous barn fire in May. The 1906
Russell, the 1914 Saxon and the 1917
Saxon were familiar sights in local
parades and everas like the Blyth
steam show, with Harold at the wheel.
and his wife Gladys at his side.
('udnuire also lost a 1925 Willys
Knight. a 1927 Falcon Knight and a lit-
tle 1958 Isetea. the only car salvaged
from the fire was Cudmore's 1911
Russell. which took part in the Exeter
Fair parade two years ago. The
upholstery and the tires were burned.
but Cudmore thinks the lone survivor
can be restored, -
Cudmore has always been in-
terested in cars, especially the
,Russell. He has done some research
on the car with Exeter connections.

Following discussions on the free
trade agreement in Ottawa recently,
Premier David Peterson said Ontario
could not support the deal.
"i don't believe it's in our long term
national interest to go for this deal."
said Mr. Peterson. "Il just isn't good
enough."
Premier Peterson announced that
a Sub -committee of Ontario Cabinet
Ministers is holding public hearings
on the free trade agreement
throughout (he province. They began
in Toronto on October 13. The
reinier has asked me to sit on the
orntnittee as Minister of Agriculture
'and Food.
Premier Peterson said this in-
itiative will put before the public the
consequences of the draft ('anada-
U.S. free trade agreetnent and will
explain the reasons for Ontario's ob-
jections to the proposed pact.
"The proposed free trade will
significantly affect the future of all
Ontarians," Mr. Peterson said. "We
have said we would give people an op-
portunity to express their views on
this vital issue. Furthermore. we
have•an obligation to put forward our
own views, and the reasons for our op-
position. The people deserve a chance
to assess the proposed . agreement.
and all of its consequences •- intend-
ed and unintended."
The Cabinet Sub -committee on
Free Trade is providing an open
forum on the proposed deal. in-
dividuals and organizations still have
the opportunity to makewritten sub-
missions or oral presentations to the
Ministers, Mr. Peterson said.
The Subcommittee, chaired by in-
dustry, Trade and Technology
Minister Monte Kwinter, also in -
left this area to take a job as a
stenographer at the Canada Cycle
and Motor 'Company in Montreal.
After reaching the top in that corn-•
party. he branched out to form his
own, the Russell Motor ('ar Company
in west 'Toronto.
Russell cars were built by the com-
pany from 1905 until 1915. Russell was
bought out by Willes Knight. who
wanted the patent rights Russell held
for all of Canada on the Knight engine
sleeve t'alve. This was also the
forerunner of the American Motors
Company, which has vanished too.
"If Russell sold out:people might
be coming to Exeter rather than
Dearborn. Michigan to buy their
cars." Cudrnore speculated.
Although Cudmore's dreams have
gone up in smoke, he is not vanquish-
ed. Ile is still proprietor of one of the
largest autowrecking yards specializ-
ing in parts for cars and trucks -
manufactured from 1928 until 1978.
When asked how many vehicles are •
parked on his land. he replies "too
many,,.
in fire
Cudmore's reputation Has spread
beyond the boundaries of I luron Coun-
ty. Ile gets requests for parts from far
and near. This summer a man in
Perth, Ontario heard from a man in
Barrie that he alight get the fender he
needed from Cudmore. Ile did.
Last week a man from Switzerland
dropped in to buy a bumper and sun
visor for a '53 Ford halfton. The parts
are now on their way to Europe.
Cudmore is also singlehandedly
rebuilding his barn, just like he built
the•original 30 years ago. Once again
he has sawn elm trees from his bush
into hoards. and is duplicating his
original design.
As he clambers around framing the
structure. he looks down on his
Russell car. wrapped in plastic
sheeting. and waiting for the clever
hands of its owner to -bring back its
former glory.
The May fire dealt Cudmore a
grievous blow, but not a fatal one. He
can never replace what he had. but is
putting back together what he can.
After a misfortune. you pick up the
pieces and go on.

The Sub -committee w•'Ilreport its

number of industry impact studies.

of Industry, Trade and Technology.
will be reviewed and reassessed in the
light of the proposed free trade deal.
They will be published and released
as soon as possible.
The Premier said the deal does not
meet four of the six conditions
necessary for Ontario's approval
which he set out during the recent
election campaign.
The six conditions are: protection
of the Auto Pact. an effective dispute-
settlenient mechanism. protection of
agriculture. continued screening of
foreign investment. protection of
cultural industries. and the
maintenance of regional subsidy
programs. '
Peterson said the most serious con-
cern is the new hi -national tribunal
set up as a final arbiter of trade
disputes bet Ween the two countries.
Ile said the tribunal does not provide
a sufficient mechanism to avoid the
protectionist trade laws of the U.S.
('ongress.
As well, removal of the Canadian
tariffs from the Auto Pact. effective-
ly takes away any enforcement that
the pact's provisions are followed.
The deal could hurt our auto parts
business in the future. Premier Peter-
son said. •
Ontario's wine industry could be
hurt and other potential lasers could
be the grain industry. While red meat
producers would gain. on balance, the
proposed deal is hard on agriculture.
Premier Peterson also said opening
up Canada's investment market to
the Americans is "a serious
concern."
