KINGSFORD INDUSTRIES 482 Commissioners Road East London,Ontario.: N6C 2T8 PHONE (519) 681-8593 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. 'E an Sir,* ANYl1ME...

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.

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.
