The 1911 Russell car was the only salvageable vehicle of seven antique cars that had been housed in the barn. Rebuilding _ 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. The Russells owned the land on three of the four corners at Thames Road and concession 4-5. Thomas Alexander Russell, a man with a coni - pulsion to excel at everything he did, By .lack Riddell 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. Jack's Jottings Against free trade eludes Greg Sorban': Minister of Labour and Minister Responsible for Women's issues, Energy Minister Bob Wong. Culture and Communica- tions Minister Lily Munro and ('on- sumer and Commercial Relations irlinister Bill Wrye. Other Ministers will participate on an ad hoc basis. The Sub -committee w•'Ilreport its findings by mid-December and the report will he _ tabled in the Legislature for full debate. Peterson also announced that a number of industry impact studies. previously prepared by the Ministry 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." Peterson said the Cabinet Sub - Trio at Tabernacle Larry, Carole, and Star, also known as Family Feeing, or the Beisels', have travelled extensively for the past 18 years throughout Canada, in- cluding the Northwest Territories, also the United States, and the West Indies.
