GRAND BEND - Big V Drug Stores have taken up shop in the village of Grand Bend to meet the everyday needs of the community. As of September 1, White's Phar- macy joined the group, and over the past two weeks the store at 46 Ontario St. has undergone a major face-lift. "It looks a Little different," said manager Stan Francic. "But I think it's something people will look for- ward to." Outside the familiar red, white and blue sign has been installed while inside the store has seen some remodeling. A good portion of the store will see an overhaul of merchandise, but other than that Francic assures there won't be any major changes. The existing staff will remain, but a new merchandiser will arrive later this week, as new products are added to give customers a broader range of selection. "The customers appreciate that they can walk into a Big V any- where and recognize the different products and the set up," said Fran- cic. The store will offer free everyday delivery of any products locally as well as the surrounding area, a Big V service which has been well re- ceived.

In t time he's had many compli- ments on his products, but none like he's had over the past week. Ferguson entered London's West- ern Fair last week with five of his products and expected to do 'all right.' And it's fair to say he was a little shocked when he took first place in every category. "I didn't expect to do that good," said Ferguson. "I guess it was a good week. „ Ferguson took over his Hensall beekeeping business from the Ha - Bill Ferguson of Ferguson Apiaries displays some of the products which captured five first place ribbons -at -London's Western Fair. Letter to Editor Dear Sir. J. James is incorrect in his com- ments concerning the availability of postal services outside of busi- ness hours in Exeter. (Reader goes without post office, September 4). Frayne's General Store, 143 Main Street North, offer the full range of Canada Post products and services at the Hay Retail Postal Outlet. The store is open Monday, Tues- day, Thursday, Friday and Satur- day from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. On Wednesday the store's hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Concerning Mr./ Mrs. James com- 1) ments about postal service in the United Kingdom your readers may be interested in knowing that the cost of mailing a domestic letter in the United King- dom is six cents (Canadian ) higher than it is in Canada. In addition 94 percent of the retail outlets are op- erated privately. This compares with a figure of 37 percent in Can- ada. Canada Post is committed to im- proving accessibility to postal ser- vices for all Canadians through a mix of corporately -operated post offices and Retail Postal Outlets run by businesses.

Their father founded the oper- ation when he came from Germany in 1884 and the brothers sold to Ferguson when they retired. This was the local beekeeper's third year competing at the Western Fair. Over the past six years, he has been involved in several com- petitions for the Ontario Beekeep- ers Association receiving many awards, but never a clean sweep like this past week. Ferguson Apiaries won red rib- ; bons for best bee's wax, best honey-, cbthbs, best white' honey, best Col- ' ouied honey and the best commercial display. "I originally thought I would go down to help promote my product," said Ferguson. "Winning certainly helps." BEST RATES on your G.I.C.

There's more to a diamond than meets the eye. And to understand the differences between diamonds is to under- stand the 4C's—Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat -weight.

Your jeweler is the expert where diamonds arc concerned. And he can show you high-quality diamonds in all sizes. They simply look better and will enhance your jewelry, no matter what the design.
