The Listowel Banner reports that July 22 and 23 have been scheduled for the dates .of the fair which Will • include such features as a * pork barbecue, bed races, tug of war,. a midway,• variou's displays- and livestock judging. The Listowel police force has been hit by the Anti - Inflation Board which has decreased the 1976 salaries by $200 to $300.While the AIB specifies th.at salary in- creases cannot exceed 11.7 per cent, the police contract that,was submitted called for an increase of about 13 per cent. A letter to the police commission from the AIB noted the increase and stated that any overpayment would have to be recovered. Vera McNichol, a well known clairvoyant trona. Millbank has come up with a novel idea, right out of the blue to hold a summer picnic for her friends. , The idea came to her one day last year when she realized' how much she disliked saying goodbye to friends at funerals. So instead she joined them all together, the living ones. that is, for a gala occasion at Listowel's Memorial Park on July 17. Ai The Banner reports that III Mrs. McNichol was offered the use of four police bands by Premier Davis, which she turned down as being ' too glorious, and Gordon Sinclair ' . old her that he had the date of the picnic circled on his calendar. M The Wingham PUC will be footing the bill for building the power substation for the Lloyd -Truax Ltd. The Wingham Advance - Times reported that the door making company plant will sign a contract that guarantees that repayment to t>M�e PUC. This ,will allow approximately $30,000 of the 4, cost -of the building over a five year period tobe repaid. The new substation with a capacity of 1,500 kilowatts, Would remove the overload the plant is now placing on the PUC's Minnie Street sub- ' station. If you have any old ar- tifacts, pictures, documents, equipment, furnishings and memorabilia, The Wingham sand District Heritage and Historical • Society wants them. The Advance -Times explains that the societies are inviting public participation to preserve the area's past for the future. Wingham was incorporated as 'a community on April 2, 1874, 103 years ago. Sixteen years before that, Edward F`ar'ey, the town's founder settled at the, forks of the 'Maitland and the area now has collected some 119 years of history. It is this history that the societies want to keep and they will gladly accept- active cceptactive membership. Three members of the Greenpeace Foundation invaded the Bruce Nuclear SPNlant - last week. The men ere trying to . prove that Ontario Hydro security is inadequate to guard a nuclear generating station from a terrorist attack. The Kincardine • News' reported that their conquest was made last Monday when the trio infiltrated the station after reaching it by canoe. The three said they were on 411 the site for one hour before "they were detected. The trio walked casually • around, the site, placing decals throughout the buildings and erecting a huge .' banner which read: "Nuclear Power, not safe, not clean, not necessary." Later the men were seen by a guard and taken into Oustody and later released. ey were warned not to ',.come back, or charges would .be aaid. Hydro feels that its security was effective in the way that the Greenpeacers were apprehended and looked after. Over 25,000 people lined the streets of Goderich on July 9 to watch the province's largest parade. The Goderich Singal-Star was on the spot for -the funand excitment and noted that there were over 400 floats -and 23 band's, 'taking over four hours to pass one point. Auburn may be " seeing brighter days, or should that be nights, since ,the West Wawanosh council voted to help Auburn to update its street lighting. According to the Blyth Standard the council is writing to the Ontario Ministry of Housing, the Community Renewal .Branch to see if any assistance is available. There's no business like show business and many times there's . no un- derstanding it. The Standard reports that the' Blyth Summer 'Festival officials are somewhat perplexed at the theatre's up and down attendance. "A summer Burning" averaged '200 persons per night, despite the opening night audience, the smallest in the festival's three year history. Another major disap- pointment came with "The Blood Is Strong," last year's hit show which was brought back. Despite good reviews and popular demand, at- tendance has been only slightly over the 100 mark. The Festival is fearful that the same problem that hit the theatre last year .will occur again this season. "I'm afraid we may have the same -situation with many people having to be turned away in the last two. weeks," said Keith Roulston, 'the Festival president. What's so famous about Brussels? It didn't seem that special until Weekend Magazine featured the village in a recent photo story. The Brussels Post found .that the name was included in the magazine which is distributed in the Saturday Globe and Mail. It seems that BrusselS'is also the name of a famous European city and was one of the photos taken by assigned photographer Richard Pierre who took post card like pictures. of the "Capital cities" around Canada.

The psychics, astrologers and other soothsayers may find hidden meanings in it, but for Mrs. John Rauser of Mitchell it was only a bir- thday. The , Mitchell Advocate reported that Mrs. Rauser celebrated her birthday on the seventh day of the seventh month in this year 1977. Hawkers and peddlers may be receiving licences in Milverton. According to The Advocate the town council is considering the move to allow Mobile Groceries' to service the 'senior citizens' ap- partments. Council also discussed some form of transportation, like a mini -bus to transport the elderly throughout the town and to the health centre. Mayor Harold Jordan noted to the council that this issue had been one of his platforms when he was running for office. Friendly relations between Canada and the United States is an energetic venture and Seaforth may soon become an active part of this• kinship. According , to The Seaforth Expositor tire town has received a letter from Standish, Michigan asking if Seaforth would be interested in becoming a sister city: Standish is writing the letter to several municilpities of similar size to see if they were interested. Standish is a town of 1,200 and is located 26 miles north of Bay ' City, Michigian. Becoming a sister city would involve exchange visits, pen mommiummimilW -Dave -Robb pals, cultural and athletic events and other joint ae,- tivites between the two towns. Seaforth has sent promotional material back to Standish and also a reply noting that they are in- terested in the proposal. Seaforth is .also having its problems and The Expositor reported that the local police are unable to stop tire squealing and late night noise on the streets. Chief John Cairns said that lack of manpower was the reason why the disruptive people cannot be caught. He pointed out that a new police cruiser was ordered in the spring, kut never arrived, t4l and oneRpoliceman is away on holidays. Only with over -time and extra costs • will the noisemakers be stopped. He noted that ' another policeman on, the four member force w'buld give the town 24 hour protection.
