Crown
attorney
sworn in
By JOANNE WALTERS
Garry Hunter, Huron
County's newly -appointed
Crown attorney, was sworn
in at an official ceremony at
the Huron County Court
House in Goderich on Tues-
day morning by Huron Coun-
ty Court Judge F.G. Carter
and Provincial Court Judge
William Cochrane.
As a former policeman,
both in Metropolitan Toron-
to and in England, Hunter
has moved from being a law
enforcer on the street to be-
ing one in the court room.
Hunter, a native of
Scotland, came to Canada at
the age of 21 in 1968. After
serving briefly with the
Metro police force, he
enrolled in Osgoode Hall.
For the past three years
he has worked as an assis-
tant Crown attorney in
Windsor. He is presently liv-
ing in Amherstburg with his
wife, five-year-old daughter
and the newest addition to
his family, a daughter born
on July 4 of this year. He
plans on moving his family
to Goderich within the next
few months.
Hunter began his new job
in Huron County on Monday,
July 3. The county had been
without its own Crown at-
torney since the promotion
of Mr. Cochrane to provin-
cial court judge in January.
Crowns from other counties
had been filling in.
Hunter, who won over four
other applicants for the job,
said he is pleased to be in
Huron County. After his
swearing in on Tuesday, he
received words of welcome
to the county from both
Judge Cochrane and Judge
Carter and from Dan
Murphy, vice-president of
the Huron Law Association
and MacEwan Egener,
secretary of the same
Association.
Judge Carter said Hunter,
at age 34, is bringing youth
to the office of Crown at-
torney.
IMiSCaiatteOUS RinnblingS

the official opening put it: "Let's have a round of
applause for the Seaforth Marching band from
Dashwood.")
It seemed like the parade would never end as
float upon float kept corning by, along with "Big
Bird" riding a somewhat undersized motorcycle.
Funny thing, the yellow slippers that Big Bird wore
were almost exactly the same as those worn by
Vince Doyle. I didn't know yellow was such a pop-
ular colour unless you're a canary freak.
At the fair, one of the more popular spots was
the Lions Den where cool, malted beverages were
available for a nominal fee which many people
'paid, While the consumption of these beverages
may have been the focal point for many individuals,
the arm -wrestling contest in the same location
drew the approval of the crowd.
The baby contest which was going on at the
same time, taught this writer the importance of
maintaining one's cool under the most adverse of
conditions, for it was the youngsters who managed
to restrain themselves, who walked off with the
prizes.
Meanwhile, while things were hot on the inside,
there was little difference outside with everybody
and everything feeling the heat but a good humour
was maintained by all.
SUNDAY — Cool air, thank goodness. While
the body acknowledges the fact, the mind refuses
to and ends up underdressing the writer to the
point (1 hate to admit it) where he is almost chilly.
A good crowd shows up for the horseshow which is
great considering this is the first year that such an
event has been held.
MONDAY I know the fair's over but this
column is not quite done. Aside from the heat, the
fair was a lot of fun and I had a good time. It's nice
to see that community spirit is still alive and well.
