BURLEYS SELL FOLLY ® Don and Betty Burley, 'owner -operators of the Folly Restaurant south of town, have sold the business and will move to Winghani—this week. The Burleys operated the restaurant for 21 years. Burleys sell Folly after 21 ....rsi business Those who have made the trek south of town on Highway 4 to the Folly Restaurant will be sorry to learn that Don and Betty Burley have sold the business after 21 years. The Burleys and their three sons, Merkley, Donald and Spencer, arrived in Wingham. on July 1, 1967, from Scarborough. At the time, the restaurant waass''owned and operated by his parents, Clinton and May Burley. The younger family members took over the business one year later. Over the years, they have kept the same basic philosophy of serving their customers good home -cooked - meals, everything from soup to liver. Although they had no ex- perience in the restaurant business, they soon learned. The Burleys have enjoyed their years at the Folly and have made many friends here. They enjoyed their morning coffee sessions with regular patrons and learning the news of the community. Wingham has gradually become their home and is home to their family; It is for that reason the Burleys have decided to stay here. They move to town this week and hope to have more time to devote to their interests, including bowling and activities at the Royal Canadian Legion, of which they both are loyal members. But first they intend to take a well- deserved holiday to Western Canada to visit family members. The new owners of the Folly Restaurant, Bruce Schell and Roberta Howitt of Newry, will open for business Sept. 5.

Tom Miller, Clerk Township of Hawick IS YOUR PROPANE REFRIGERATOR A POTENTIAL KILLER? Nobody in their right mind would keep a life-threatening appliance in their home. Yet, thousands of people have propane refrigerators that can produce deadly amounts of carbon monoxide if they're no t properly vented and cleaned. Every year in. Ontario an average of three fatalities result from the use of unserviced prune refrigerators. Severaimore people require hospitalisation for carbon monoxide poisoning. 1. To eliminate the risk, remove your propane refrigerator to an outdoor shelter or buy a new refrigerator, which is now required to be vented outdoors, like those used in recreational vehicles and mobile homes: We also advise you to have the refrigerator cleaned and serviced regularly, especially fore start up and every time it's moved. That way, rust, scale, insects or anything that's block l the combustion system will be removed. For answers to your questions or to obtain a do-it-yourself booklet on servicing, call th `', els Ministry of Consu nd Commercial Rel Safety Branch at (418) 234-6046, or write: Fuels Safety Branch 3300 Bloor Street West. 4th Floor, West Tower Etobicoke, Ontario i1A8K 2X4 William Wrye, Minislt David Peterson, Prerr Rr
