MURRAY GAUNT chats with well-wishers at Liberal headquarters Thursday evening
while waiting for the results of provincial elections to start arriving. Mr. Gaunt and his
supporters later moved to the Armouries for a victory celebration.
CONGRATULATIONS and handshakes were the order of the evening last Thursday for
re-elected Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt. Over 100 friends and supporters were on
hand at the armouries to celebrate his victory in the provincial elections.
THE BRUSSELS LEGION BAND led the triumphal march through the streets last
Thursday when Murray Gaunt avid his exuberant supporters paraded down Wingham's
main street in jubilant celebration. Even the drizzly weather didn't dampen the spirits of
the overjoyed incumbent and his group.

Char
for fun
Recently e Seaor, **won
Expositor carried n `fullage
feature entitled "Bunny BRess
Booms" in which the expe>1'les
of three Seaffpr men Were ,out-
lined. These are plewho We,
for various reasons, gone WO. the
business of raising rabbits tekthe
commercial meat market.
Two off these men, by coihci-
dence, are members of the
Seaforth town council, one of
whom, Charlie Campbell, Is a
former Wingham resident. Son of
Robin Campbell, he is married to
the former Peggy Ahara, also off
Wingham.
According to the Expositor
story, Charlie laughs a bit about
their business sideline which was
a mere hobby two years ago. He
and Jim Crocker started out with
two does and a buck and pur-
posely kept the operation 4
until they "knew what they were
doing". Now they maintain a
stock of about 100 animals at
their barn in Tuckersmith Town-
ship.
The ,Crocker -Campbell part-
nership used to take their
finished animals to a third party
for slaughter, but found that
method foo inconvenient. Now
they do their own killing, dress-
ing and freezing. Fryer rabbits
are sold largely to ethnic custom-
ers in the city and bring about
$4.00 each. Sold as breeding stock
they will bring about $7.50..
In addition to raising rabbits
which bring a good market price,
for human consumption the two
men have entered their best ani-
mals in several shows, in one of
which they recently won the
award for best of breed.
Bugs Bunny of TV cartoon
fame, with his big front teeth, is
nothing better than an unhealthy
throwback, say the Seaforth men.

CHARLIE CAMPBELL
Buck teeth in rabbits are a sign
that two animals with recessive
genes have been mated, Progeny
with this "trade mark" are un-
desirables in the profitable herd.
Despite Bugs' ability to tear into
a carrot, it has been found that in
real life rabbits with buck teeth
cannot eat properly.
Asked about acceptance of
rabbit as a part of the weekly
menu, Charlie says that the only
difficulty is getting families
started. "The problem is getting
people to try them for the first
time. Any way you can cook
chicken you can cook rabbit," he
declares.
