of the Folly Restaurant south of town, have sold the business and

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.

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
