Chief chef Roy Brock checks the filet mignon and gets an enthusiastic approval from Pres Lavier and
Graham Mason. Artistic highlight of the dinner was the colorful fruit parfait, being sampled by Roy Brock.
There was no indication what deeds had led to the awarding of KP
duty, but Ed Hearn and Roy Hunter were among those who helped
wash the dishes.
Two members of the Auxiliary didn't miss out just because they couldn/t get to the Legion Hall. Dan
McLeod and Doug Sweet delivered meals to Mrs. Bill Snell and Isabelle,

More goes into a Volkswagen
than just hard work.
No, this picture isn't a cheat.
The luggage in the photograph will go into
the VW in the photograph.
How?
First of all, that's no ordinary Volkswagen
up there. It's a Super Beetle. With a trunk
that carries twice as much as any beetle ever.
(That takes care of 1 suitcase, 2 overnight
bags and an attache case.)
And in case you'd forgotten, every Volks-
wagen comes with a rear seat that folds down
to create a cavernous 14.1 cubic, feet of
luggage space.
(That takes care of the other 4 suitcases,
5 overnight bags, 4 travel bags, and 3 train
cases.)
Alas, all these years we've been known
mostly for our uncanny dependability. Not
for our uncanny luggage story.
But, as you can see, more goes into a VW
than just a fierce attention to detail.
A good deal all around, consid-
ering you only have to put $2,249,*
into one in the first place.
*Price based on suggested maximum retail price F.0,8, Easy and Wosi P.O.E. Provincial taxes and shipping charges extra.

Turn-about fair play
As usual, members of the
Exeter Legion Ladies Auxiliary
were at the Legion Hall Saturday
night. And, as usual, the aroma of
a delicious meal was emanating
from the kitchen.
However, this, time the
Auxiliary members weren't
responsible for the culinary feats
causing the aroma. In fact, they
were on hand to enjoy the food,
and not to cook and serve it as
they do many times each year.
The cooks for the special oc-
casion? Would you believe Legion
members?
Well, many may doubt it, but
that's exactly what was going on
as the Legion men rolled up their
sleeves, donned bow ties and
provided the ladies with a meal
that earned them raves from
some of the area's best cooks —
the Auxiliary members.
Roy Brock was head chef for.
the occasion and he and his
kitchen staff toiled long hours
over the hot stove Saturday to
provide the tasty menu.
The "waiters" arrived early to
set up the tables, and even added
the touch every lady enjoys —
flowers and candle light.
The tomato juice was poured
Name county
plan group
A land division committee has
been appointed by Huron County
Council and will consist of the
five members of the county
planning board as well as five
non-county councillors, Clayton
Laithwaite, Ian McAllister, Cal
Krauter, Roy Westcott and Ralph
Jewell.
This land division committee
will have the authority to grant
consent to severances in any
municipality on the county that
does not have a committee of
adjustment with authority to
grant consent.
The land division committee
will grant the same type of
consents, such as the simple
separation of land from existing
holdings, quit-claim deeds,
mortgages and so on, as a
committee of adjustment.
The budget for the planning
board showed that expenses will
likely be down this year, The
estimated 1971 budget is $35,000
as opposed to $42,320 actually
spent on county planning last
year.
The new Huron County Plan-
ning Director, Gary Davidson, is
to receive a salary of $8,000 for
the remainder of the year.
Estimated moving expenses for
Mr. Davidson are $1,500. Board
members' salaries will take
another $5,000; consultants' fees,
$3,500; land division comMittee,
$2,000; office salaries, $5,000;
equipment, $5,000; public
relations, $1,000.
and a shrimp cocktail was set at
every place. There were last
minute instructions about ser-
ving from the right, removing
from the left. "Yes, even if you're
left handed," came a reply:
The wine stewards then
proceeded to pour out their wares
and the ladies took their places,
along with some special guests.
The first indication that men
were performing the tasks came
when the juice and cocktail
glasses were being removed from
the tables.
The tinkle of falling silverware
echoed around the hall as the
men performed the tasks, and
more kept falling much to the
amusement of the diners.
"There'll be no tip for you," the
Hon. C. S. MacNaughton com-
mented to one burly waiter as he
stooped to pick up a fork from the
floor in front of the head table.
Next came the main course.
Filet mignon wrapped with
bacon. Yes 'sir, nothing was too
good for the guests of the night.
Mushroom caps were liberally
added and then came a scoop of
creamed parsley potatoes,
asparagus tips and julienne
carrots.
There were jelly salads and
relish plates on the table and the
wine stewards let no glass go
empty — especially their own and
those of the other staff as the
increased number of falling
cutlery indicated.
Then came the final touch. A
fruit parfait with a light cake. It
was a masterpiece, almost too
colorful and artistic to scoop into.
Then came coffee and tea, with
wine and cheese.
Did the ladies have to clean up
the kitchen? Shame for thinking
it! Legion members had been
assigned to KP and the facilities
were left spotless.
While the Auxiliary members
may not concede any threat to
their culinery mastery over the
men, they did have to admit one
thing. Nothing was wasted.
When the serving was, done,
there, were two pieces of filet
remaining in the dish, along with
two scoops of potatoes, a few
slivers of carrots and just the
juice in the asparagus kettle.
The reporter isn't certain about
the wine!
