The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1967-08-31, Page 16Leaves room for rumors Defence Minister Paul Hellyer may have given his opponents an opportunity to suggest the Liberals were "going to the dogs" when he befriended a cuddly little canine in Hayfield, Tuesday. The little black dog is hard to spot as his black coat blends into the one worn by Mr. Hellyer. Shown with him are his wife and Gordon McGavin, Walton.

He attained his bachelor of Arts degree at Waterloo University in the spring. He is a graduate of South Huron District High School. The sixth grade Sunday School teacher was reviewing the Bible lesson and asked, "Who defeated the Philistines'?" A sports-minded boy pondered the question a minute and then replied, "I don't know, I only follow the major league teams."

"If everyone works together as a team, then I'm sure we can can make Canada what we want it to be," he said, noting that it was this type of action by Mont- real Mayor Jean Drapeau and M. Dupuis that brought Expo to Can- ada. "They then built a harmonious team effort and now people all over the world are saying: 'look what Canada can do'." Turning to more direct com- ments on politics, he told the Huron Liberals this area was the birthplace of Liberalism and "it breaks my heart to see the way things have developed."

It was held at the home of Brigadier Morgan Smith, Bay- field, who will carry the Liberal colors in the next provincial election. About 150 supporters were on hand for the afternoon event, Mr. Hellyer spoke only brief- ly, confining his remarks most- ly to the centennial activities which he and his wife have en- joyed from coast to coast this year. "It's a great year for Can- ada", he said, adding that his travels enabled him to get a feeling of the country and it was something he would remember for the rest of his life. The most memorable event he attended was in a town in Al- berta where the 3,000 residents dedicated the world's first fly- ing saucer landing pad. Mr. Hellyer said he was im- pressed with the feeling of pride Canadians have built up this year. "We're all proud to see how far we've come in 100 years and this centennial has been a great success," he commented. "We also have great potential for the years ahead and all Canadians are realizing this."

The letter accompanying the gift was as follows: THE SPIRIT OF '67 Now that we have reached the halfway mark in C entennial Year, it is only natural that Centennial planners should ask themselves just what has been accomplished. It would be a simple matter to prepare an almost endless list of sparkling Centennial events. In- stead, let me quote from a Ca- nadian Press item in the Ottawa Citizen, June 30: "Some elemental Canadian ap- petite evidently was awakened by the Centennial celebrations. The hunger for things Canadian has been expressed in a trail of shattered crowd estimates. Color has flooded into the grey old image as the citizenry not only seeks, but provides, fun. In a country where nationalism was regarded as a foreign dis- order, a song called Ca-na-da is suddenly the all-time best- seller. The delighted self-regard has flabbergasted officialdom who spent public millions to gen- erate it." Centennial events don't just happen. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, your committee and all your helpers for their splendid work. May I also thank you for the many courtesies extended to our Regional Officer, Mr. Gil Mc- Dermott, and Mrs. June Car- michael. On behalf of the Board of Di- rectors of the Centennial Com- mission, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to present this Cen- tennial flag to your Committee.

The Ontario hosts and hos- tesses were specially schooled to answer visitors' questions, including such topics as inter- provincial and federal-provincial relations.

Between them 63 MERCURY 4-door Sedan E82148 the hosts and hostesses can an- swer questions in 14 languages, ranging from Spanish and Russian to Hebrew and Hungarian. One hostess also converses in the deaf-dumb-blind hand language. By the time Expo closes in October, the 50 hosts and hos- tesses will have guided an estim- ated 5,000,000 visitors through the Ontario pavilion's exhibits, displays and art works. With bigger-than-ever crowds at Expo, the Ontario pavilion- which depicts various aspects of the province's past, present and future and emphasizes the ac- celeration of social and economic progress - is handling as many as 50,000 visitors daily. Because of the building's unique design there are few line-ups, and seldom any crowding. 62 GALAXIE 6 cyl. automatic E80084 61 VOLKSWAGEN MONTRE AL Serving as an "Ontario ambas- sador" calls for a wide know- ledge of the province, plus the ability to answer questions pleas- antly and intelligently. No less important, according to 22-year-old John M acN aughton Huron Street, Exeter, a host at the Ontario pavilion at Expo 6'7, is the will-power and stamina not to let tired feet get the better of you. John, who is an arts graduate from the University of Western Ontario, and plans to study law, is one of 50 students selected from more than 2,000 applicants for the host and hostess jobs. Tired feet excepted, he finds the role of host enjoyable and chal- lenging. Questions about Ontario's his- tory, geography, economy, the education system, and society generally, are frequently asked by visitors to the pavilion. Many of the hosts and hos- tesses have had Americans com- mend them on their English, and Quebeckers commend them on their French. John terms most of his contact with visitors "30- second friendships." "In that time, maybe a Quebec separatist might have second thoughts about the wisdom of separatism," John believes. "Or perhaps an American might be encouraged to spend a vacation in Ontario." "To answer questions satis- factorily I have had to improve my own knowledge of Ontario. Working at the pavilion also gives me the opportunity to speak French. which I hope will be E78310 60 CORVAIR Letter to the editor Help appreciated A41969 Zurich provides home protection Members of Zurich council re- versed an earlier decision and have now agreed to provide fire protection to the Blue Water Rest Home just west of the village. The home is located in Hay Township and Zurich cut off fire protection when they failed to reach an agreement over fire retainer fees with the township. The remainder of the township still will not receive fire pro- tection from Zurich. Members of the village council agreed that the rest home was an unusual situation, and felt that since residents of Zurich had donated the largest amount of money to the project, they should protect their interests. At the same time it was point- ed out the home is a charitable organization and no municipality receives any tax moneys from it. Previously the board of the home had contacted Hay Town- ship asking for some type of fire protection and the latter had made arrangements with the Dashwood fire brigade to pro- vide this service to the home. The board felt this was not ample fire protection as far as the insurance company was con- cerned and so asked Zurich to provide the service. dent and sec. treas., Mr. and Mrs. Don Parsons; sports com- mittee, Mr. and Mrs. Pat O'Brien and Mr. and Mrs. Bev Parsons; table committee, Mr. and Mrs. Frayne Parsons, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Parsons.

EXETER AND AREA - "THANK YOU" FROM THE RO- DEO ASSOCIATION. R. F. Roelofson Chairman 235-2322 Exeter To the editor, The Mid-western Rodeo As- sociation would like to take this opportunity to thank the multitude of local people who have contrib- uted many hours of time, talents and machinery and those who gave donations to help get the new rodeo ring ready for this week- end's fourth annual rodeo. We have received much support from the start when a group of volunteers with professional log- gers donated their time and tal- ents to cut posts in Hayfield. This help carried on when work started on the ball diamond and free help was donated plus the use of auto wreckers, farm machin- ery, posthole diggers and the as- sistance of the linemen who do- nated their time on the weekend. For this help we are also thank- ful. Through the building of the rodeo ring we again have receiv- ed untold hours of free labor from the citizens of Exeter, the sur- rounding towns and the rural areas, all of which was more than appreciated. We received help with farm machines, posthole dig- gers and power tools without which we could not function. We have received help from many service clubs and civic groups financially and physical- ly. We also have a debt of thanks to Jim Paisley and his town work crews, Hugh Davis and the Exeter 13.11.C., Alvin Willert and Gary Middleton for their aid, assist- ance and guidance through this work and thanks are due also for the excellent local coverage we have received from the press. It is obvious that we cannot thank the multitude of helpers Yours sincerely, John Fisher, Commissioner.
