The charge was laid by Exeter police after their Thirty-one test skills Thirty-one flyers from Vancouver, Edmonton and across Ontario competed in one of four levels of com- petition at the 10th annual Canadian National Aerobatics competition held at Huron Park Saturday and Sunday. The participants were , pleased with the turnout. Pilot Roger Hadfield of Milton said "That's a good number in Canada." He said the sport is just beginning to grow here and "it's a special sport...not many people can do it." Only a handful of spec- tators was on hand for the event. The planes must fly within an imaginary cube of air measuring 3,300 feet square, and depending on the level, between 300 to 3,500 feet in the air. Aerobatics is not stunt flying, said Eleanor Had- field, publicity represen- tative for Aerobatics Canada. "The difference between the two is like the difference between Olympic figure skating and Ice Follies...stunt flying is to please the crowds and the cameramen, and aerobatics is to please the judges." "Aerobatics is the highest discipline of flying...it's an art", she said. The flyers are judged on flying sequences which last four to eight minutes and consist of turns, rolls and other movements. The national champions are: sportsman division, Glen Brederman, 46, of Milton; intermediate, Roger Hadfield. 45, of Milton; advanced, Jay Hunt, 38 of Ottawa; and unlimited, Gord Price, 37. of Caledon. Price with his dole competitor, Gerry Younger of Guelph will compete as a team in the 1980 world -aerobatics championship in Oshkosh, Wis investigation into an incident at a local store last week involving $240. One theft was also reported this week, it oc- curring _Thursday at the Burkley Restuarant. A quantity of money was taken from the cash register.

Little to do about mould in beans The same white mould that affects white beans is doing some damage to soybean fields in Perth and Huron counties. The total damage will probably be small. but areas of some fields are being affected. About 5 percent of Ontario's soybeans are grown in Perth and Huron. The disease may be in 25 percent of these fields. We still do not know how serious this will affect our crop. According to the book, soybeans are not affected by this disease. Too bad soybeans can't read: What can you do about it? Very little. As of August 21st, 1979, the only product registered is Benlate. It has registration for use on seed soybeans only. Also, it can only be used on a total of 1.000 acres in Ontario in 1979. Furthermore, the company that sells Benlate is not convinced that the product will be effective. They are not convinced that anyone can apply the product in a manner to get chemical to the bottom of the plants. The cherrycal ret get down to the bottom of the plants to be effective. We hopeto know bythe end of .the year if this can be done. In the mearitime, ail we can do is watch what happens. The logical question is why we do not have more in- formation on this problem. The answer is that white mould is never a problem in soybeans. This is probably because, traditionally. white beans and soybeans are not grown in the same area We are suggesting that the high amount of spores given off from this disease in white beans is causing the problem in soys in our area. We certainly hope to get more answers this year since it appears that we will have soybeans and white beans grown in this area in the future. Then if mould occurs in whites. it will probably also occur in soys the same year. Need 54,000 from county sources Times -Advocate, August 29, 1979 Hope for debt counselling Hopes are still high that a debt counselling service can be established in Huron County, only one of four counties .in Ontario without such a service at the present time. Pam Coleman, of the Huron Information and Multi Service Centre, told the T -A this week that efforts are still being undertaken to establish such a service. To that end, a meeting has been planned at Vanastra on September 13 at 7:30 p.m. at which time interested persons will have an op- portunity to learn more about the project and to provide their support. It has peen estimated that a budget of $10,000 per an- num would be required for the service, of which 60 percent would be through a grant from the ministry of community and social services. - A survey of 19 banks, finance companies and credit unions indicated that 73 percent felt there was basically a place for this service in thecommunity and in a survey of 151 businesses and industries. the response indicated 87 percent were agreed upon the .need. If the project does proceed. an advisory committee would be Start plans for ball park it appears that plans for a revamped community park will do more than sit on a shelf and collect dust. Member of the Exeter recreation Committee, Don Cameron said all groups attending a meeting Thur- sday were. in favour of the plan which was presented to the South Huron Rec Centre Board earlier in the month. The plan • calls for the drainage and modification of the present softball diamond, the addition of a softball field with lights. a hardball diamond and the provision for a soccer field in the area to the east of the tennis courts. In attendance' at the meeting were represen- tatives from the softball. hardball. tennis and soccer interests and the Exeter agricultural society Cameron said those at- tending agreed the priorities which the report had set out The next step will be for the rec committee to take their study to town council.

The OPP have suggested the scheme I' uillawfuL and have aiked any person with knowledge of the letter or participating in it to contact their nearest OPP detach- ment and leave their name. address and phone number. The purchaser of one of these letters is led to believe that by itibesting $100, he or she can reap a return of $204,800.

Hay Township: Stellman George Harris, Exeter; William Mark Irvin. London ,A quantity of marijuana valued at over $18,000 was seized in the various raids ' established and a part-time counsellor hired. The aims of the service are as follows: (1) to. provide debt counselling both remedial and preventative in nature, assistance in debt con- solidation and education in uses and abuses of credit. (2) to provide education on budgeting matters. (31.,ip assist persons and families with financial problems in co-operation with public and private agencies. organizations and associations. (4) to seek the co-operation of merchants, lending in- stitutions, banks and others to achieve the above ob- jectives. • (5) most importantly. to protect the individual from embarassment and harassment due to their inability to meet financial contractual obligations. To qualify for the service, the applicant's income must, after meeting his basic survival needs (such as food, clothing, shelter. medicine, education and so forth), be inadequate to meet con- tractual obligations to creditors due to poor money mangement. In the first step, the person seeking financial advice calls, and is given ,an ap- pointment. Many creditors refer clients to the service, but ultimately. it is up to the individual. The existing agencies do report that a surprisingly large number of people do seek help on their own. Secondly. the credit counsellor interviews the individual or family on a personal and confidential basis. • Full information on the families financial picture is• then obtained:- the financial situation is discussied. the problem analyzed and alternatives considered. The following steps which then will be taken largely depends on the individual. Some applicants may only require budgeting or credit guidance. Some may' require the help of the counsellor to arrange with - creditors a satisfactory solution. Others may require the formation of a debt re -payment plan. Page 3 Either the person agrees. to move on his own and pay his debts off while not aquiring any more, or in more serious cases, the counsellor handles the payments himself. During the re -payment period, the Agency will at- tempt to waive interest with the creditors. Clients must be sincerely interested in solving their financial problems, and must be willing to provide a total picture of their financial situation. Most importantly. they most live up to their agreements once arrangements have been made. Other areas in Ontario have definitely found Debt Counselling to be a suc- cessful program The agency in London averages 400 cases per year dealing with an average of 800 clients whose economic status range from people on welfare to doctors and lawyers who make $50.000.00 a year. 11 you haven't got time to do it right. when will you have time, to do it over again'' NORTH STARS WIN — The Brinsley North Stars won the A championship of the Ailsa Craig ladies s(o-pach ball league Back. left.
