Through the weeklies
The Exeter Times -
Advocate reported that
last week the town held a
contest to determine the
strongest people in the
area.
The event, held in
conjunction with the
sidewalk sale days, saw a
pair of brothers, John
Coolman of RR 1, Cen-
tralia and his brother Ron
taking the two titles as
the strongest men. John
won the title for the 17
and over competition and
his youngest brother Ron
took It for the 16 and
under test.
Over one dozen con-
testants entered the
senior division including.
Mayor Bruce Shaw.
Coolman lifted 275 to top
the entries followed by
Mike Frayne with a lift of
240 pounds.
Ron Coolman lifted 190
pounds in the junior
division.
'The Blyth Standard last
week devoted much of its
newspaper space to the
Trinity Anglican Church
in the village which is
celebrating it's 100th
anniversary.
The Zurich Citizens'
News said that the.
village's fair this year
was bigger and better
than last year's and at-
tendance doubled over
the 1977 fair.
Warm, sunny weather
helped bring out the
crowds and between. 300
to 400 people lined
Zurich's streets on
Saturday for a parade
which featured around 25
floats and numerous
'horse and bike entries.
Queen of this year's
fair was Rosemary
Dettniann and first and
second runners-up were
Theresa Ferris and
Jeannette De Vries.
About 18 Wingham and
area residents took the
first step toward help and
friendship to fatherless
boys in the community at
a Big Brother meeting in
the town recently,
The Wingham
Advance -Times reported
that the Organizational
meeting for a Big Brother
agency in the town
produced a seven
member steering com-
mittee.
It has been estimated
that there are ap-
proximately 30 boys
between the ages of six
and 16 in the Wingham
and surrounding com-
munity who could benefit
from a local Big Brother
agency.
The Listowel Banner
reported that although
their annual agricultural
fair was a top show, for
some reason the crowds
were down.
The Banner explained
that the weather was
good for the 122nd fair
and 60 new exhibitors
were drawn to the at-
traction but the at-
tendance over the two-
day event was down with
. approximately 2,500
paying the gate ad-
mission.
Elmer Bean, secretary -
treasurer for the Listowel
Agricultural Society said
that he couldn't un-
derstand the public's lack
of interest in the event.
A fire of undetermiied
origin levelled a large
hog barn owned by Neil
McNichol of RR 4, Walton
on Monday night.
The Huron Expositor
•
reported that the barn
contained 250 market
type hogs and over 100 of
them were lost in the
blaze. The loss of the.
barn, located on con
cession 12 of McKillop
Township about five
miles southeast of Walton
is estimated at $50,000.
The Kincardine
firefighters have suc-
cessfully raised $3,214 for
muscular dystrophy, the
Kincardine News
reported.
The figure raised at the
annual voluntary toll gate
was up $800 from
previous years. This
year's figure has not
reached the final tally as
cheques are still arriving.
One fireman com-
mented to the News that
the only thing wrong with
this year's collection was,
"the hats got so heavy
(with money) that we
couldn't hold them."
The new found interest
in tractor pulls clearly
showed its popularity in
Lucknow last week when
close to 5,000 people came
to watch the Molson's
Point Series Class A
Tractor Pull.
Billed as the biggest
pull in Western Ontario
this season, the Lucknow
Sentinel reported that
pullers came from as far
away as Michigan,
Ohio, the Ottawa Valley
and other points in
Ontario. People began
coming into Lucknow as
early as Tuesday to camp
until Saturday for the
pull.
The Mitchell Advocate
town's PUC manager,
Ron Carter has suggested
that residents cut down
on water consumption
where it is not necessary
with rains replenish the
water table which is down
about 15 feet below the
normal level. Carter
however explained that
there is no immediate
danger of water shortage
in St. Marys.
The Goderich Signal
Star reported that con-
struction of the new
grandstand at the
Goderich racetrack has
ground to an immediate
halt because there are
problems with the
seating.
Work on the new
structure was to have
been completed by
August 19 but was
stopped because it isn't
possible to see the track
from all the seats. Mayor
Deb Shewfelt told the
Signal Star that he hopes
the problem can be
corrected without having
to tear the grandstand
down

p ained that the parents
feel that as, taxpayers
they, have a right to
determine how their tax
dollars are spent. They
are proposing the set up
of an alternative school
since they feel that the
local schools are not
diversifying their
programs enough,
The concerned parents
are following other
similar school systems
throughout North
America and the British
Columbia government
which has passed an
Independent School Act.
The act allows taxes to be
paid to approved schools.
The local group hopes
to associate with an
Ontario organization
known as Oasis which is
now applying to the
Ontario government for a
similar Independent
School Act.
While researching the
story,' the Advocate also
learned that the Ministry
• of Education will allow an
alternative school to be
formed if there are five
children to attend bet-
ween the ages of 6 and 16.

your Family
BeforVjoiXing the great
exodus to Ontario resort
areas, Make sure the
family pet\is vaccinated
for rabies,
Dr. H.J. Neely, of the
Ontario Mihistry of
Agriculture aid Food
Veterinary Services
Branch, says petsshould
he immunized at last 10
days before you leave for
holidays. ,
"The vaccination
should be considered an
important safeguard for
children and protects the
pet from either death or
quarantine," he says.
Rabies is an infectious
disease which affects the
nervous system. This
virus is transmitted to
people and pets through
the saliva of the infected
animal,
In many parts of
Ontario, rabies is present
in wildlife. Skunks,
raccoons and foxes often
pass the disease to pets
and people through bites
or scratches.
Dr. Neely says children
should be warned to stay
away from all wild
animals. Infected
animals often assume
abnormal behavior-1PM
may venture into
inhabited areas,.
'Don't try to!make pets
or skunks, raccoons or
other wildlife,"'he warns.
"They seldom make good
pets because they don't
live as long as domestic
animals and they survive
better in their natural
environment."
By avoiding these
animals, you are
reducing the chances of
being exposed to rabies.
In recent years, it has
also been found that some
types of bats are capable
of spreading rabies.
If a person is bitten or
scratched by a wild
animal, a medical doctor
should he contacted
immediately.
Any animals suspected
of having rabies must he
reported promptly to the
nearest Health of
Animals office of
Agriculture Canada.
