2S Years .Ago
May 30, 1968 - Exeter resi-
dents have had a considerable
change in mind regarding liquor
outlets in the past four years.
Monday, they approved three of
five questions on the ballot.
The $2.2 million technical and
commercial addition to South
Huron District High school was
officially opened Monday night.
A former chairman of the board,
Hon. C.S. MacNaughton said,
"When the school was built in
1950 many members of the
board doubted the building
would over be.fllled.
Ontario Provincial Police
were called to the He nsall dump
Sunday when neighbours report-
ed a "Witches" convention. It
actually was a group . of high
school students making a movie
to be shown at this year's Cana:-'
dian National Exhibition.

ron District High school are

SO. Years Ago

min in the attempt to erect a
new -factory in time forihe early
pea pack, the -Exeter factory of
Canadian Canters suffered a
further :setback ,during the se-
vere windstorm that passed over
the area Tuesday aftemoun. The
large steel stacker used for car-
rying the pea maw from the

badly wrecked.

weather during the past week,
farmers were able to do consid-
erable seeding.

It seems there are not enough
dentists in Canada to do all the
work on teeth of soldiers and ci-
vilians as well. So the rationing
of sugar comes into the picture.
People can also help by faithful
brushing of their remaining
teeth.

June 1, 1893 - At the' Reform
convention of South Huron held
last week in Brucefield, the fol-
lowing delegates were appoined
to attend the convention in' Otta-
wa: D. Wilson, Seaforth; Alex
Mustard, Brucefield; George
McEwen, Hensall; H. Smith,
Hay township and A. Bishop,
MPP from Usborne.
A rumour around Dashwood
on the weekend indicated a
west -end tailor shop escaped de-
struction when a dynamite
bomb exploded. The legal ma-
chinery .in Exeter was sum-
moned, but proved inadequate.
What really happened was a
charming young damsel still in
her -teens carte to visit the pro-
prietor in the early evening for a
friendly chat. As he had no bell
on the door, she lit a firecracker
to get his attention. Since that
time, city fathers have passed a
law requiring all tailors who re-
ceive friends in the evening to
invest in a doorbell.
