By Ross Haugh from the archives of the Exeter Times Advocate 10 YEARS AGO November 28, 1984 - The future of Aura Yachts Inc. of Huron Park apparently re- mains a question mark. In September, a receiver and manager was named, but a number of employees are still on staff completing yachts that were in progress. The Exeter R.E. Pooley Royal Canadian Legion branch has donated $10,000 to the Exeter fire department to purchase vehicle extrica- tion equipment. When Judge William G. Cochrane presides over pro- vincial court in Goderich to- day it will mark the end of a legal career in Huron county that spanned nearly 40 years. The new Lucan Scout - Guide hall was officially opened on Saturday. At the weekend Exeter old- timers hockey tournament, Al Flynn the Molting Hawks old- est statesman at the age of 58 presented the oldest player award to 70 year-old Reg Hammond of London Intra City. 25 YEARS AGO Bill Sturdevant is the new president of the Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce. Two Huron county officials received pay increases this week. Clerk -treasurer and ad- ministrator John Berry will be up from $13,500 to $15,000 and his deputy Bill Hanley will receive a raise of $1,800 to $10,500. Only one person has an- nounced intentions to run for the wardenship of Huron county in 1970. He is Us - borne township reeve Roy Westcott. Exeter police chief Ted Day has reported that 15 snow ma- chines were stopped this week and given warnings regarding erratic driving and excessive noise. Ratepayers of only two area municipalities went to the polls Monday. In Hensall, in- cumbent reeve Oliver Jaques defeated rival Minnie Noakes by 261 to 145 votes. New councillors are Hein Roose- boom, Paul Neilands, John Baker and Leonard Erb. At Granton new trustees are Jo- seph Bryan, Kenneth Hodgins and Elmer Summers. SO YEARS AGO A big Red Cross auction sale is scheduled for Grand Bend on Saturday. Frank Taylor is the auctioneer and the clerk will be Norman Turnbull. Farm Forums have begun again and continue to be very popular. SS.S. 3, Stephen meets at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Preston Dearing; the Shipka group will gather at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Love and at Sharon it will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mil- ton Haugh. The current big question is, "Can future farm- ers make a living.". During the severe snowstorm that visited the area Thursday evening of last week, 11 year- old Alex Howe of the Centralia area failed to return to his home. About 300 airmen spent part of the night scouring the district and searching through piles of snowdrifts. He was found by a truck driver and taken to London until his par- ents were notified. 75 YEARS AGO The great golden jubilee of Granton Methodist Church was held last week. The fowl sup- per held Tuesday was a great success. Proceeds which are expected to be well over $1,000 will go to clear the debt off the new parsonage. 100 YEARS AGO At Stephen township coun- cil, D. McKellar was awarded $7 for damages sustained by his horse while crossing the bridge on Concession 21. The Clinton News Record gives a very lame excuse of "immense traffic" for the had state of streets in that town. We ask that they should come to Exeter where there is equal- ly as much traffic and see the finest streets in Ontario. They should learn something about roadmaking from Commission- er Creech. News from Sharon last week caused a whirl of excitement among the fair sex of our burg, for everyone wants to know who the shoemaker is and if he decides to locate here. To the maidens I must say that it must remain n mystery until he set- tles in our midst and then look out for squalls.

Personals Sympathy of the community is extended to the family of Wesley McGuffin of London, former Gran- ton resident, who died at University Hospital November 23. The funeral service was held at the Needham Funeral Home in London last Fri- day. Allan and Carol Wissel had sup- per with Allan's mother on Sunday evening. This correspondent has an Easter lily with two blooms on it. Having been more or less neglected, it started to grow a little and was ft - nally planted outside in July. When the geraniums were being potted on November 8, I noticed it had two small buds on it so I brought it in- doors. Today it is in full bloom. Margaret Oakley was the hostess for the Anglican parish bible study on November 23. Church services At St. Thomas' Anglican Church on Sunday, the Rev. Stephen Em- ery led the service of morning prayer. His message was based on Luke 21:34 'Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with the worries of this life.' Ser- vice time next Sunday is 11 a.m. At Granton United Church on Sunday, Pastor Normalie Voakes entitled her sermon 'Don't forget the Baby!'

Cheryl Cook lit the first Advent Candle for Hope. Matthew McRo- bert explained the meaning of lights on the Christmas tree, and 'Andrew Bryan explained the mean- ing of the coloured balls. Each child placed a ball on ,the tree and will do so each Sunday as they make more decorations. The choir sang 'Jesus, Joy of man's de- siring:. Flowers were placed in the sanc- tuary from the funeral of John Wa- ters, brother of Cliff Waters, who died suddenly on November 19.

Community Bible Church At the beginning of October, the Community Bible Church congre- gation experimented with establish- ing a new 8:30 a.m. second wor- ship service. This has ended successfully and an evaluation will be made to seek areas of improve- ment and growth. Room to wel- come more people to worship has been a very valuable result. In order to welcortre everyone to this year's musical concert, "From Heaven's Throne", it will be held on two nights, Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11. This is a unique cantata presenting the angels' perspective on Christmas. Concerned about your drinking water?
