Christopher Wilhelm, 20, and Lawrence Cole, 19, were killed in a single car accident about six kilometres southeast of Exeter on Usborne Conc. 5 near Huron Cty. Rd. 6. The crumpled green Chev Cavalier Z24 was discovered by witnesses just after 8 a.m., London OPP Const. Doug Graham said. The accident could have gone undiscovered for a number of hours, Graham said. Passenger Wilhelm of Conc. 3 Usborne Twp. (RR1 Centralia) was killed instantly in the crash. Cole, the driver, of Conc. 4 Usborne Twp. (RR3 Exeter) was first taken to South Huron Hospital and then transferred to London Health Sciences Centre's South St. campus where he died Sunday afternoon. Wilhelm's funeral was Agricultural Society cancels fall fair, members busy for Plowing Match EXETER — The Exeter Agricultural Society is taking on a new flavour as it becomes an ingredi- ent in many community events this year. Ag Society members are involved in the International Plowing Match held Sept. 21-25 near Dashwood making it difficult to hold a full fall fair on the traditional date. "Many society directors are on planning commit- tees for that event and would make it difficult to orgnize both the IPM and aa fair that would fall on the Match's closing weekend," Ag Society President Bev Prout said. "In addition, it is hoped the surrounding commu- nities will put their ener- gies into the IPM activities which has only been in Huron County four times in its existence." Only the Arabian Horse Show will culminate on the traditional fair date of Sept. 25, said Prout. The organization will still encourage an aware- ness of agriculture and promote improvements in life skills -and quality of life of people living in the agricultural community. Society members will be involved in many commu- nity events throughout the year. "Associates of the Ag Society are knee-deep in the planning stages of the IPM Quilt Show, taking place at the South Huron 4 �uses I events Recreation Centre April 7-11," Prout explained. In April, directors and members will be at the Slice of Huron, a county- . wide agricultural educa- tion event geared for ele- mentary school children and their families. The five-day event will be held in Seaforth April 12-16. At the end of April, Julie Hearn will represent the Exeter Ag Society in the District 8 Ambassador Competition. Exeter Legion's Canada Day Celebrations will be the nexf event on the soci- ety's calendar.
