what.may seem like con-

Three Tads
to perform
• with Abba
•
1
Three area lads will have
the thrill of a lifetime on
October 7 when they perform
at Mapt(f Leaf Gardens in
Torontb with the popular
Swedish rock group Abba.
Joining the rock group as
part of a special per-
formance for the Inter-
national Year of the Child
will be the Stratford
Boychoir. Among the
members are two Exeter
bons, Brian Topp and Darren
Tinney. as well as a Hensall
area youth. Tim Rowcliffe.
"Needless to say they're
excited," commented one of
the boy's parents.
The choir, which is made
up of boys from eight to
fifteen, will rehearse with
Abba and then perform two
numbers on the Toronto
program. which is already
apparently sold out.
Abba is on its first North
American tour and opened in
Edmonton earlier this month
before a sold -out crowd of
16,000 people. They will hit 14
cities in the tour and at each
stop, a children's choir will
join with them.
The group is one of those
which donated a song and. all
its royalties to UNICEF --
Abba's was Chiquitta-- and
the group itself is a family
one, having four children.
Repair area
at Morrison
Staff of the Ausable-
Bayfield Conservation
Authority are presently
upgrading the entrance to
the north side of the
Morrison Dam Conservation
Area.
Work being completed
includes removal of dying
maple trees along the con-
cession road.
The roots of these maples
were damaged,uring the
original construction of the
Morrison Dam in 1959. The
trees have been slowly dying
_since then.
Reducing the slope of the
road bank where the maple
trees were situated was
carried out because there
has been a problem with
recognition of the entrance
to the north side of the
Conservation Area. where a
picnic pavilion is located.
Many motorists drive past
the entrance without
realising.
The steeper road {yanks
have created -a hazard of
limited visibility. par-
ticularly while exiting the
area and caused problems in
snow removal.
The trees were rotting at
the core. and could _ have
been hazardous during high
wfnds. ( With their proximity
to the road. they could not be
considered wildlife habitat).
The removed t-ees will be
replaced with - new trees.
planted away from the road
bank.
The north entrance road
services the section of
'Conservation Area north of
the reservoir that contains
the picnic pavilion. Parking
facilities on the north section
are greater than those on the
south side. it is felt that a
better entrance would
visibly bring this to light.

Open new Hay office
Before a gathering of over
75 people the Hay township
farmers' mutual fire in-
surance company's new
office building was officially
opened Friday.
President Herbert
Beierling paid tribute to the
employees and contractor
and said "This has to be the
highlight of the year 1979".
Reviewing the history of
the company was professor
emeritus HerbertKalbfleisch
of the University of Western
Ontario who said the first
meeting which turned out
to be the Hay firm was held
on September 5, 1974. On
January 1, 1875 the company
was officially incorporated
following a meeting ,on the
Goshen Line near Dasbwood.
Maurice Leduc, president
of the Ontario Mutual
Insurance Association
brought greetings from his
group and said the local firm
should be congratulated on
their foresight.
William Weir, president of
the Farm Mutual Rein-
surance Plan sajd one only
had to think of the recent
tornado near Woodstock to
appreciate the need for in-
surance.
Guesses
were varied
Guessing the weight of a
steer -proved popular for
those in attendance at the
1979 Exeter. Fall Fair.
More than 1.200 guesses
were put in for both live and
dressed weights.
1t wasn't .so simple for
organizer Howard Pym and
Bob /fern just to find a
winner in either category.
The live weight was 1235
and four persons were "right
on" with their guesses. They
were Ruth Mercer. Graham
Cottrell, Allan Bern and
Donna Webster. Mrs.
Mercer was declared the
winner after a telephone
number guessing. contest.
Close with guesses of 1234
were John Oke and Marion
Skinner.
No one guessed 784 pounds -
as the dressed weight but
two were within one pound.
Steve Johns guessed 783
and John Kingma 785, each
one pound within the correct
weight. it• was decided to
give the prize to the one with
the closest live weight.

Beef and pork roasts were
a�yarded to lucky winners
after each of three meat
cutting demonstrations put
on by Darling's iGA.
The meat winners were
Greta- Richard. Joan
Hodgins, Carol Miners and
Winston Shapton.
Guesses on the weight of
the calf ranged from a low of
440 pounds to a high of 3.000
pounds.
mutual insurance companies
such as the Hay begin
operations in northern
Ontario was chief insurance
examiner for the province
Martin Crutcher.
Injecting a humorous tone
to the proceedings was
Huron -Middlesex MPP Jack
Riddell who said he won-
dered if he had not wandered
into a small meeting of area
Progressive Conservatives.
He added that the building
was a real asset to the
community.
Riddell said it was im-
portant that politicians and
insurance people get the
message across to members
of farming community that a
proposed bill with regards to
hazardous products could
make the farmer liable in
certain instances.
Zurich • reeve Fred
Haberer commended the
board of directors for taking
Pape 3
the initiative to build, and
expressed pleasure that the
new building assumes the
village's Swiss motif.
Bringing greetings on
behalf of Warden Jack
Tinney was Stanley township
Reeve Tom Consitt.
In closing Hay vice-
president Lan McAllister
noted the company has come
a long way since the time the
board members paid their
dues at the Zurich Fair.
OPEN HAY FIRE INSURANCE BUILDING — The official opening of the Hay_ township

Museum official resigns
No replacement has yet
been named for the assistant
curator of Lambton Heritage
Museum. Chris Andreae.
Andreae resigned last
week over conflicts with the
museum board.
Curator of the museum
Bob Tremaine saiS1 that the
board may take one of two
different approaches in
replacing Andreae. They
may look for someone with a
university background in
museology. .such as
-Tremaine and Andreae
have. or they ma}' split that
salary between two other
people. perhaps•just on a
part time basis:
Andreae submitted his
resignation to the board on
September 13. He is now
taking his scheduled holiday
in Europe. and is .n.ot
available for comment.
in his letter of resignation.
Andreae complained about
board members interfering
with the staff at the museum.
and not allowing them to do
the job they were hired to do.
.Andreae filed a grievence
with the board and
ultimately gave then his
resignation. •
Curator Bob Tremaine
said that- Andreae was so
"principled"' that he was
unwilling to compromise
with the board on any issues.

sorry to see him go But he
