"A lot of work for a lot of people" is the way the fourth fashion show hosted by the Exeter branch of the Cana- dian Cancer Society was described by Exeter presi- dent Leone Brock. Mrs. Brock is qualified to describe this year's chow; itis the first one she has seen, having been busy behind the scenes for previous productions at the South Huron rec centre. • As much akvity takes masking tape so the models place off the rupway as on. would not slip while pirouet- Seating, decors, Ughting, ting on the runway. sound, tickets, aavertising, The shoes were worn that programs and dozens of other evening by models from details all moat be looked Elegance School of Fashion after. and Merry Rags models Val Co -conveners Melva Ecker Fraleigh, Dean Frayne, Rose and Laurette Stegner, for ex- Marie Gurd, Joan Hoffman, ample, spent the morning of Jay Hogg, Phyllis Wilkins the day of the show in London and Dave Sheppard.

G B council sanctions plans Grand Bend council had a feast of decisions, Monday night, which began with plans by the area Chamber of Com- merce and the Optimists for special events, and ended with sanction for a temporary extension of commercial zon- ing to a piece of beach property. Chamber president Eugene Grenier presented an agenda for fund-raising summer events, which was sanctioned by council. From May 19 through to May 21, the Chamber will sponsor sidewalk sales and a flea market at the roller rink. Burgerfest, the annual "bash on the beach" is scheduled for June 15 through to June 17. The Chamber will again sponsor a Canada Day celebration July 1 with fireworks and music on the beach. A Sandcastle-buildirfg competition will be held on August 11. There are plans, also, for a farmers' market in the fall. Grenier also re- quested space for childrens' rides and activities on the beach during the 13urgerfest activity weekend, and on the playing fields near the fire hall, for Canada Day and Sandcastle Days. In cooperation with the village, Grenier suggested that one-third of a permanent sign beside the new village hall might be financed by the village. The village decided to think that one over. Grand Bend Optimists representative Shane Burley, requested sanction for use of space to promote a "Family Day" celebration in conjunc- tion with the Sandcastle event on August 11. The three-year- old Optimists Club would make use of space in the Legion Hall and around the adjacent playing fields. In other business, council passed .a bylaw to allow a temporary zoning extension to R. Paul Fraleigh Enter- prises for the commercial use of a parcel of land on the north beach, which was previously zoned "high densi- ty, residential." Provisions for Fraleigh are: there be a proper posi- tioning of the parking kiosk, that there bero r lighting P Pe g g of the parking lot, that there be dust control, that there be a proper walk-thr h for ad- jacent residents at there be a planted buffer zone and that there be none other than a permanent building placed on the site. Residents have 35 days to object to the passing of the bylaw. Councillors were very verbal in response to a letter from J.K. McKay ask- ing for an extended period of time for sewer hook-ups on River Road. The excuse for not investing in sewer hook- ups, was that the property might be sold. Deadline for sewer installation was November 1963. The wedged -shaped proper- ty borders on the harboyy-cut. Councillor Dennis Snider, said "I find it hard to be sym- pathetic. This place has been a disaster for twenty years." Deputy -Reeve Harold Green, said "I agree, it's a dump there." Clerk - Treasurer, Dianne Mollard quoted reports from Lambton health inspectors, building in- spectors and Ontario Hydro which indicated that the pro- perty was uninhabitable and a safety hazard to persons us- ing the property. Apparently, there is an open well on the property with rotted plywood covering. Council decided that the sewer -deadline would be extended for a length of the conditionaloffer-to-purchase offer -to urchase on the property. And, in other business, Grand Bend council seemed reasonably satisfied with a decision from the provincial Ministry of the Environment that Ridge Pine Park, Inc. should pay an equitable amount for sewage treatment from Grand Coves Estates (as the ministry has assessed for the Village of Grand Bend) and that a meter to assess the flow of effluent in- to the Grand Bend system should be installed post-haste. :_z i FIRST CUSTOMER -- Little Kelly Miners was the first baby to use a car seat rented from South Huron Hospital.

Hospital workers sign n confract South Huron Hospital has ratified a two-year contract with its full time service employees, the first hospital in Ontario to do so. Dietary, housekeeping and laundry personnel, ward and physiotherapy aides, cooks, janitors. maintenance utility staff. R.N.S.s and orderlies receive an across-the-board increased of 45 cents per hour effective April 1, 1984 and an additional 47 cents per hour in the second year of the contract. This represents a five per- cent increase on the average of the total wages in all categories. Full time employees' hospitalization benefits have been changed from ward to semi -private, with the employer paying 25 percent of the premium. A . contracting -out clause has been added, whereby the hospital promises that while the agreement is in force it will not contract out a service which could result in a lay-off of regularly scheduled employees.

Ames attire was supplied by Bob Swartman Men's Shoppe and RSD Sports Den in Exeter. This year's celebrities were former Londoner KateCum- mings, whose classic features have appeared on Chatelaine and Flare magazine covers; Alicia Sealey, 1983 Miss Trinidad and Tobago and now a student at Western Univer- sity; and CFPL radio's mor- ning man Peter Garland, who shared the commentating duties with Merry Rags co- owner Johanne Elliot. An exotic touch was added to one number by nine very tame macaws held by the models, and four cockatoos who grouped together at the front of their cage and never took their black currant eyes off the proceedings. (Perhaps they were comparing the Ex- eter show with one they had participated in previously at the Fairview Mall in Kitchener. ) One of the macaws provid- Not a l l supported ford is at least a start. McInnes pointed out that one of the township s he represents has a significant amount of Catholics who are not supporting the separate school system. Dublin trustee Louis Maloney said a lot of people don't know that unless they state they want their taxes directed to the separate school system, taxes go to the public school system. Specifics about the student priest's work, such as salary will be prepared by a board committee. Huron -Perth separate school board trustee Ron Marcy said a parish census done last year by St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church revealed there are Catholics in Stratford who do not sup- port the separate school system with their taxes. Marcy said the purpose of having a survey done would be to possibly increase separate school assessment.

Some of the infant car seats the hospital now has for rent will be on display, as well as a 12 -minute video of Duffy the Dragon, a cartoon , film designed to alleviate the fears of children facing hospitalization. Hospital administrator Roger Sheeler said the hospital is here to serve this community, and wants to know what services the public would like to see provided. Those who wish for stop - smoking or weight -loss clinics, CPR classes or some other hospital -related pro- gram can leave their sugges- tions behind when they visit the display on Saturday. xVr: fy & North Lambton Since 1873 Li should like what she wears. The more than 100 outfits modelled before an audience of slightly leas than 600 were not hard to like. Styles for lOB4are extreme- ly wearable. Everything from beachwear through outfits for the executive to the more sophisticated dresses for after -five are classic rather than extreme, comfortable as. well as attractive, and fashioned from easy -care, easy -wear fabrics in a rain- bow of spring pastels and more intense summer shades. The Canadian Cancer Society will be the biggest beneficiary of the Exeter branch's efforts. When all receipts are in and all bills paid, the Society will receive the proceeds of the 1984 Faces of Fashion. NO PROBLEM HERE While there were several communications and reports on pornography at Exeter council's session this week, the topic failed to generate any action. - Councillor Morley Hall reported on a session he had attended recently in St. Marys when those in atten- dance were shown some of the material that had been con- fiscated by the OPP. Hall termed as frightening "this insidious degrading of the human mind". He urged council not to close their eyes to the pro- blem or say that it can't hap- pen here, although he in- dicated that pornographic material was not a problem in Exeter at the present time. Letters on pornography were received from MPP Jack Riddell, Liberal Leader David Peterson and the United Church of Canada. The latter urged council to enact a bylaw regarding the display and availability of pornographic material. N ONE o;SO FORD Musmti�siri RE�IONAL S$TPTh*Ei Collect any 10 liners.
