Corn cuts PC crowd?
The Progressive Conservative
Association for the riding of
Huron -Middlesex held its annual
meeting last Wednesday night
in the Dashwood community
centre.
About 65 people attended
the annual meeting including
guest speaker Lorne Henderson,
MPP for Lambton. President
Elmer Hayter. felt many farmers
who might otherwise have atten-
ded were taking advantage of the
weather to finish planting their
corn. "We can't really blame
them," said Mr. Hayter, "It's
time the corn was in and when
the weather is right you have to
get it planted."
Treasurer Lorne Kleinstiver
gave the year's financial report,
the first since the conception of
the riding of Huron -Middlesex.
The association's total receipts
were $6,262.30 with total dis-
bursements being $5,220.24.
This along with $301.57 left from
the campaign fund and a subsidy
of $4,564.20 from the provincial
government leaves a total of
$6,947.93. However, the $1,000
fee from the auditors has not been
paid yet and there are also several
advertising accounts still out-
standing.
"We're not as rich as you
might think," said Mr. Klein-
stiver. "We're going to have to
get busy and raise some money
somehow."
Two changes were made to the
constitution of the association.
One lowered the number of days
a person must be a member
prior to a nomination meeting in
order to vote from 14 days to
seven days.
The other change was that
notice of the annual meeting need
only be advertised seven days in
advance rather than the 21 days
previously. This is an attempt to
cut down advertising costs. '
Jim Hayter made a presenta-
tion concerning the PC's pro-
vincial membership drive. Mem-
bership fees will be set at $3.50,
$1.50 going to the provincial
association to cover advertising
fees, the remainder to the riding
association. Next year the entire
fee will go to the riding.
The election of officers was
held with few changes made over
last year's executive. President
Elmer Hayter of Stanley; , first
vice-president is Betty Cardno
of Seaforth; secretary is Mrs.
Ruth Hill and chief financial
officer is Lorne Kleinstiver. In
addition, six vice-presidents of
equal rank were named. These
are Bill Amos of McGillivray
George Cuddy of Kerwood,
Gerry Ginn of Goderich township,
Oliver Jacques of Hensall, Joe
Murphy of Clinton and Norman
Parsons of. Exeter.

Friedsburg Days
adds several events
Bigger and better than ever
with an emphasis on entertain-
ment for the entire family is the
goal of officials of the 1976 Fried-
sburg Days which are scheduled
for the police village of Dashwood
on July 30 and 31 of this year.
Publicity chairman George
Tieman told the News this week
that several new features are
being added to some of the
attractions which proved popular
during the first five years of the
Days.
The Saturday afternoon parade
has • proved to be one of the
biggest in Western Ontario in
recent years and this year's
committee will be trying to entice
more floats and entries. Ruth
Ann Merner, Mike Tieman and
Paul Salmon are on the parade
committee.
Mrs. Merner hopes to have
Pirie Mitchell and Peaches
of CFPL television appear in the
parade and assist in running off a
pet show after the parade. The
theme of the parade is "Fantasy
Land".
Other animals in the pet show,,
shouldn't have to much opposi-
tion from Peaches if she is in
the same mood as a few months
ago when appearing at the ex-
hibition hockey game at Huron.
Park. Peaches spent most of
the night sleeping in the penalty
box.
A new Saturday morning at-
traction should bring out lots of
boys and girls. A soap box
derby is being held for the first
time.
A midway company from
Woodstock has been booked to
supply four or five carnival rides
for both days.
The Friday night talent show
is again expected to draw lots of
interest fom area amateur per-
formers. . in charge are Jean
Ford and Doug Riddell.
Sauerkraut and sausages will
again be the main part of the
dinner and supper menu. It is
expected sausages on a bun will
be sold later on both evenings.
A dance will be held Saturday
night to wind up the two days
of proceedings and a refreshment
tent will be on the grounds with
Anthony Martene and Jack
Cockwell in charge..
Hubert Miller is overall Frieds-
burg Days chairman with Herb
Piper as assistant. Doreen Webb
is the secretary and Glenn Webb
will handle the duties of trea-
surer. Gertie Stade and Vesta
Miller are in charge of souvenirs.
While committee heads have
been appointed publicity chair-
man Tiernan is quick to point out
that many other volunteers are
needed to make the 1976 Frieds-
burg Days a real success.
