In memoriam. eilagiOP MUM In laving memory of a beloved husband and father, George Ar- chie Wilkin, who passed away two years ago, May 29th, 1981. The love of the past, Will always be in our hearts, Until the day breaks, And shadows flee away - we will remember. --Wife Emily and son George. -21 ASHTON In loving memory of Lenora Ashton, a mother and grand- mother, who passed away one year ago, May 27, 1982. We think of you in silence, And make no outward show, But what it meant to lose you, No one will ever know. You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. We do not need a special day, To bring you to our minds, The days we do not think of you, Are very hard to find. They say time heals all sorrows, And helps us to forget, But time has only so far proved, How much we miss you yet. To know we never said "good- bye", Will always bring regret, But the hearts that loved you dearly, Are the hearts that will never forget. —Sadly and forever missed and lovingly remembered, Gail, Elmer and Kevin. -21 47.

The grain -laden freighter arriv- ed from Thunder Bay and it appears she will be the heir to the parcel grain trade to Goderich and the Georgian Bay ports. As such, she suc- ceeds the now retired Spruceglen. Oakglen is a new name for an old ship. She dates from 1923 and construction by the American Shipbuilding Com- pany at Lorain. Ohio. . During the early years, this vessel was called William H. Warner and sail- ed as part of the Tomlinson Fleet under their Panda Steamship Company. When employed in the ore and coal trade, the vessel handled about 13,600 tons. On occa- sion grain was hauled at a rate of 450,000 bushels per trip. Late in 1933, the Interna- tional Harvester Company purchased the ship and renamed her The Interna- tional for the next season. Duties for the next 40 years concentrated on the transportation of raw materials to the Wisconsin Steel Division at South Chicago. This continued un- til unloading her last cargo there on September 12, 1977. The vessel was renamed Maxine on October 11, 1977 and was transferred to En- virodyne. She operated only briefly over the next few years and served in a variety of trades. In February 1981 the ship was sold at auction and in the fall resold for scrapping at Ashtabula, Ohio, by Triad Shipping. They traded her to the Soo River Company in- stead of breaking her up. In exchange Triad received the long-time Goderich visitor H.C. Heimbecker. Renamed J.F. Vaughan for the 1981 season, this ship did not visit Goderich under this name. She passed to the P & H fleet with the demise of Soo River and the new owners applied the name of Oakglen. Last winter, Oakglen received two new holds and a new sewage treatment system. The latter brought her up to Canadian en- vironmental standards while the former equipped her for the grain shuttle. As a result of these moves, we can ex- pect to see this ship visiting Goderich for a number of years. Oakglen is 600 feet (182.88 metres) long. Her 2,200 horsepower triple expansion engine is original equipment as are her three scotch boilers. She is oil -fired.

But it's trying to do so without losing any of its personal character. For three months now, shoppers at Zehrs have been greeted by the same cashiers and staff, but have found something different at the checkout counter -- computerized cash registers. The new registers are designed for speed and ef- ficiency. The cashier simply slides the items being bought over -a light sensor which reads a bar code on the product. A high-toned beep sounds if the code has been successfully scanned. In order that the customer knows the article is being correctly entered, a small viewer shows the article's name and" its price. This same information appears on the receipt to give the customer a further check. Ray Hurd, the store manager, says the machines are more accurate. He says the customers were somewhat skeptical of the machines at first, but once they got used to the system they liked it. Hurd explains that the new system offers a triple check on prices. The items are// priced on the shelves, there is a visual check at "the checkout counter, and the names of the items appear on the receipt. Hurd says, "The customers' big fear was that we were going to take the price off the shelves." But he says that Zehrs has no plans to stop individually pricing articles now or In the future. Consumer groups are now strongly opposing any efforts by supermarkets to stop ex pricing articles on the shelves. But the registers are only a part of the niglsrm, H has a computeewr teystyminaiw 4 ilk his office which gimes him access . to all kinds of in- formation—dollar sales, item sales, or staff evaluation. This terminal is linked to two central computers in the store. All price information is stored in these computers, as are up -to -the -second sales figures. Hurd can find out what items are selling well or poorly, how much stock is left on the shelves, or even whichefficient. cashiers are the most Thus the computers help to shorten operations like taking inventory or, cash balancing, which before were long, time-consuming processes. The Goderich store's computers are linked also with the Zehrs head office, which has access to all the information stored on the computers. Hurd foresees a time when the computers can automatically reorder produce from the head office when the sales indicate that certain products are almost sold out. "But that's a year down the road, for a majority of the items," says Hurd. And what was the cost of all the new machinery? The eight registers sold for about $10,000 each. The computers were leased from Sweda International by the head office. Hurd says this allows Zehrs to trade the computers in periodically for more up- to-date equipment. But Hurd doesn't want the new technology to -take away any of the personal character he says his store enjoys. That means he will Zehrs cashier Linda Sudyk slides a product over a light scanner, part of Zehrs' new computerized checkout system. The scanner reads a bar code on the product to determine what it is and its price. The new system is faster and more accurate than the old one, and customers are finding more information on their receipts. (photo by Darrell Kloeze) not accept such innovations as talking cash registers, . which would reduce the contact between the cashier and the customers. "We desperately want to maintain a local image." And so far, the customers seem to behappy with the changes at the store.

' Isn't it better to have a John Deere Lawn Tractor for 10 years than a "bargain" tractor for 4 or 5? r �ill;;lhjjiJ ENI uIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVi. I,r 11gl ""111111,r7.3. 4 "nom. Flll�i"• „moitllN.uf. John Deere Lawn Tractors that are 10 to 12 years old are not at all uncommon. In fact many of our original lawn tractors, built in 1966, are still in use today. On the other hand the average life span of a ' "bargain" lawn tractor is estimated at only four to five years. So you can see why it pays to buy a John Deere. There's no denying you'll pro- bably have to pay a little more for a John_Deere. Up front anyway. But, when you consider how. much longer they last, you're almost sure to save real money in the long run. Choose from two great John Deere Lawn Tractors, the 11 h.p. 111 with a 38" mower or a 16 h.p. 116 with a 46" mower. The Model 111 cuts an acre an hour and the Model 116 will cut an acre and a half an hour. Come in and test drive a 111 or 116 today. HURON EXETER 510 ?15.1115 TRACTOR ECVTH 510.5t3 4144 tfl
