By Roberta Walker

September 16 at - tate Playhouse.
Nearly 200 women; and a few curi-
ous attended the event, --beginning
with wine and cheese in the barn
from 7 to 8 p.rn. The fashion 'show
was held on the theatre mainstage,
with foundation Manager Kate
Burnett as the commentator.
Four different shops showcased
their fall/winter fashions: the Sun -
Shop of Grand Bend; the Fashion
Closet of Exeter; Randi's Distinc-
tive Fashions for Women in Grand
Bend, and Lea- Nelson, Couturiere
Designs in Grand Bend and Lon-

Sylvia, The Jewelry Lady, makeup
by Mary tf(ay,- and the stage setting
by Country Flowers.
According to these boutique de-
signs, the top treands for this fall are
stirrup' pants, designer sweaters,
vests, narrow skirts worn short mild
sassy or tong -and alined, decorated
denim, and big, eye-catching jewel-
ry•

Stray pets may get
chance at 'foster'
home program
EXETER - Unclaimed
stray animals found in Ex-
eter may get a new lease on
life under a new program
proposed to town council
Monday evening.
Instead of having animals
unclaimed after
three days at the
dog catchers put to
sleep, the Ontario
Humane Society
has proposed a
kind of foster
home plan. Temporary
homes would look after the
animals until ' permanent
homes would be found for
them, deputy -clerk Laurie
Dykstra told council, who
added that the program was
actually cheaper than hav-
ing dogs or cats destroyed.
Dykstra showed council
figures that showed a medi-
aa»sized stray dog picked
Exeter, kept for the
itquisite three days, and
put down, would cost the
taxpayer about $129.
The foster program
would cost about $84.
"It would make sense to
me to agree to that arrange-
ment," said councilor Ben
Hoogenboom, but said he
wanted to know if all ani-
mals would be accept-
ed by this program.
Dykstra said no,
noting dogs in poor
health, or showing
signs of being badly
mistreated would still
be put down.
"If it's an ideal kituation
and they want to foster it
out, then they will," said
Dykstra.
Council agreed the new
program showed promise,
but were also curious to
:see : if the 'new owners of
'-the Exeter -Animal Hospital
were interested in dealing
with Exeter's strays. At
present, the dog catcher
takes unclaimed animals to
`the South Huron Veteri-
nary Clinic after they have
been boarded for three
days.
Lucan council encouraging local
contacts with :irIsh namesake
LUCAN - At"the regular meeting
of September 7, village council
members agreed to encourage local
citizens and organizations to ini-
tiate and maintain communications
with residents of Lucan in Ireland.
Lillian Harris, chairperson of the
council in Lucan in Ireland made a
recent visit here and impressed eve-
ryone with her friendliness and sin-
cerity in wanting the two villages to
begin a twinning system.
At that time she said she was
keen on having school children in
both communities exchange letters.
When in Lucan she also received
souvenirs and tokens of apprecia-
tion from the Scouts and Girl
Guides, Lions club and other
groups.
Harris said she would encourage
contact by many groups and would
be willing to provide names and ad-
dresses to get the process going.
Council here will be sending a
letter to Harris thanking her for the
plaque she brought and indicating
council is in favour of ecouraging
ties and fostering communications.
Thanks were also sent to Rev.
Bruce and Pat Pocock of Holy
Trinity Anglican Church and to
Bernard and Peggy Rooney of Bid-
dulph Township who were instru-
mental in arranging the visit of Lil-
lian Hams, her husband Tom, and,
daughter Aimee.
Further on the same subject, Rev.
Bruce Pocock told the T -A that he
had a visit last weekend from an-
other Lucan, Ireland councillor
George Clark and his wifc Rose-
tnary.
Pocock said he will be exchang-
ing addresses with Harris and Clark
to further communications between
the two municipalities.
The local Anglican minister add-
ed that he will be having contact
with Rev. Bruce Pierce, rector of
St. Andrews Church in Lucan, Ire-
land and is making arrangements
for Roman Catholic priests in the
two namesake villages to establish
communications.
When here two weeks ago, Ai-
mee
imee Harris, daughter of Lillian
Harris became good friends with
Lori Wood and the two teenagers
are expected to continue to be in
touch with each other.
