That's when Ray and his son were given the Ford Implement dealership,. and they have had it ever since. Things have come a long way since 1969, and Ray says the new building on Highway 8V/ill give them greater room for a service, parts, and sales. The new building, which is still having the finishing touches added, features a large three -bay service`' garage, a bigger parts department, ,and an enlargedequipment storage area, The move to the new 2,800 square foot building from the farm ' on Concession 4 of Goderich, Township will enable Ray to better service his Ford products. And Ray has them all, from the smallest five horse lawn tractor to the 100 horse or more, four-wheel-drive units, capable of eating up a, hundred acres a day. He will also have a cc;rnplete line of Ford industrial equip- ment and an accessory Ford line that offers everything from manure spreaders, to forage harvesters to- PTO snowblowers. - Ray and his son Wayne are also the area dealers for Scorpi-an snowmobiles, which has proven to be one of the toughest machines on the market. To better acquaint the far- ming population and -the general public, Ray is holding an open house this Friday, March 28 from 10 a.m, until 6 p.m. and a special dance will be held on the large bay floor from 9:30 p.m,' until 12:30 a.m. and will feature the well-known local band, "The Star Trex." - So Ray has. invited everyone out for free coffee and donuts this friday- to look over the building and the "Big Blue."

Always carry a screwdriver to keep binding screws tight. This prevents a lot of wasted effort when skiing. Don't. worry about gouges in your skies, they can be filled with plastic wood, or if too deep, sanding is suggested. It's a good idea to either glue splinter's into place, or ti;m them with a . jack-knife to prevent them from pulling away. from the ski. The skier„ should never over RAY POTTER & SONS LTD.

Be wary of ob- „structions in your path and judge whether or not to remove your skis to go around them. If you become very' , iired, find a. comfortable spot to rest. After putting on an extra jacket, it'`s good to eat some candy or take small drinks. ALWAYS avoid getting coldahile'-resting, and - try to use dfiletent muscles when starting • up on the trail again. ' If you're planning a ski trip, always be familiar with the area either py visiting ahead of time,, or by studying maps. Make sure that you record landmarks, and be aware of your directions.
