Harold Guilfoyle, chairman of the centennial committee said attendance at many of the events was much above expectations, Getting things off to a good start was the Saturday afternoon parade. The program described it as a "Mammoth Parade" and it wasn't an exaggeration. As the many floats wound their way through Ailsa Craig streets a halt had to be called to let the tail end of the parade finish going up the main street, before the first half could cross the street. Just as the parade was coming into the ball park, the rain finally came, but didn't last, By the time Pirie Mitchell of the Junior Talent Show on CFPL-TV of- ficially opened the festivities as master of ceremonies the sun was out. He was joined on the platform by Robert McKinley, MP for Huron-Middlesex; Hon. Bill Stewart, provincial Minister of Agriculture; Reeve John Whitmore; Bob Nelson, county warden and the centennial queen Jana Lynn Stewart. The new picnic pavilion never did get its ribbon officially cut. 'When the rain came, the crowds took refuge there. It was donated by the Lions. Winners in the float categories were announced. Religious the Stephen townships and the village of Dashwood. Clerk Wayne Horner said that "Hay has accepted the items to be considered And has recom- mended to the village to prepare an agreement for final approval, according to discussions with the township," Under the agreement the an- nual operating costs will be shared by the three bodies, as follows; 40 percent by Dashwood and the remaining 60 percent split between Hay and Stephen townships. The split will be based on an assessment of land and buildings in the fire area. The Fire Board will consist of one representative each from the Dashwood trustees, and councils from Hay and Stephen Town- ships. Bylaw 18, concerning the proposed construction of the Zurich Drainage works was given third reading and passed. The contract for the construction of the works is to be let at a later date. The council received and ac- cepted two drainage petitions, Charles Corbett was appointed to prepare a report. An application for severance was received from Cleave and Margaret Gingerich to sever part of lot 12 concession 11, Council recommended to the Huron County land division committee that the severance be granted. An application for a building permit from the Bluewater Rest Home was deferred until council receives a report from the Ministry of the Environment in regard to their proposed sewage system. Plan to file objections "Ypu wouldn't believe anyone could create such a road," Riverside Drive resident George Dobbs told Exeter council members this week in predicting his basement flooding problems would be increased when the street reconstruction is com- pleted. In one flood, the Dobbs home sustained damage in excess of $2,000 when the basement was inundated. As designed now, Dobbs said a "beautiful funnel" had been created to take water off the road into his property. He said it was a "bad situation" and noted that neigh- boring property owners were also concerned at the design of the road. Works superintendent Glen Kells said he had talked to engineer B. M. Ross about the problem and was advised that lowering the road on the south side would not allow residents on the north side of Riverside access to their homes which are con- siderably higher, Kells also noted that five more manholes had been created in an effort to reduce the flooding problem. "I realize you have to corn pensate for both sides of the road," Dobbs stated, but added that he would be flooded with a one-inch rainfall. Further discussion followed about who was liable for the damage suffered, butCouncillor Bruce Shaw said action should be UCW; commercial - Greer Gable Nursing Home, nursing care past and present; service club - the Ailsa Craig KOPS; miscellaneous the Argyle Street Scottish clan; best decorated bikes - Kim and Jim Walsh; most original float - the building of the Grand Trunk Railway. The beef and chicken bar- becues and the breakfast of sausages, pancakes, bacon and eggs were all well-attended. Approximately 1,500 people consumed over half a ton of beef, Mr. Guilfoyle said, There were 2,200 people who bought admission tickets to the grounds on the Monday, last day of the celebration. Draw winners were: Joyce McFadden London who won the quarter of beef with ticket 465; C. Maynard, Denfield won the side of pork with ticket 1462; John Russell, London the radio with ticket 902 and M. Bender won the chair with ticket 218, The cen- tennial quilt went to Mona Larkin, Parkhill and Karen Hodgson, Ailsa Craig received the tablecloth. Miss Maggie MacDonald was the oldest resident in Ailsa Craig. She was born in the same house she now lives in, 92 years ago, The house itself was built 100 years ago. Winners of the beard contest were Willis Dorman, Dave Harwood and Randy Malcolm, all of Ailsa Craig. After the celebrations were over the register book showed that former Ailsa Craig residents had come home from such places as Australia, South Africa, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and England, The person born in the village who came from the farthest distance was Mrs. Margaret Dores of Belmont, California, which is near San Francisco. taken to correct the problem if possible.

At the same time council agreed to remove five parking spots immediately north of Sanders St. on the east side of Main. By keeping this area open, it will serve as a lane whereby traffic can bypass vehicles at- tempting to make a left turn into Darling's Food Market parking lot. The police committee had earlier recommended that no left turns be allowed in this area, but in the face of opposition, reconsidered the proposal and came up with the new idea. Shaw said signs would, also be erected in an effort to encourage people to use the parking spots behind the town hall. Signs will also be erected in Riverview Park advising motorists that no exit will be allowed onto Highway 4 at the bridge. Fair weather and a lot of hungry people made the fourth annual Friedsburg Days celebration in Dashwood a success last weekend. Famous for its sausage, spareribs and sauerkraut, Friedsburg Days attracted a record crowd for the two day event. Over 1,004 pounds of spareribs, 800 pounds of sauerkraut and 700 pounds of sausage were con- sumed and hungry revelers had to be turned away Saturday evening because the food was all gone, Friday night's events included a talent show. There were over 25 ientries in the five classes of the competition. In the group instrumental class the McQuaid family from Seaforth came first, the Strauss family, second and the Deicherts from Zurich, third. Lori Noyes of Lucan placed first in the vocal competition with Cheryl Hardy, Lucan second and Susan Vanderspeck, Woodham third. Arden Bryan of Granton took first prize in the instrumental class with a violin solo, Jane Allen and Dianne Wilson of Brucefield placed second with a piano duet and Deidre Pike of Stratford was third. In the dance competition, Shelley and Sandra Finlayson, Kippen placed first. Anne Marie McQuaid of Seaforth was second and Mona Hodgins, Lucan was third. "Minnie Hee Haw" by a group from Dashwood was awarded first prize in the novelty class. The tropical Six from Brucefield came second and Ed Johns of Kingsville placed third. Friday night also saw the crowning of Betty Guenther, 16 of Dashwood as Miss Friedsburg 1974, Runners-up were Pat Bender, 18, Miss Schroeder's Milling and Dianne Miller, 19, Miss La-V-Esta Beauty Shop. The festivities on Saturday began at noon with more sausage and sauerkraut served to a hungry throng. Residents and visitors lined the streets of Dashwood for the parade which started at 2 p.m. Erich Freiter of Eidelweiss Acres Farms, Dashwood won the prize again this year for the best float in the parade. Jack Riddell and family had the best family float, the "Friedsburg Family Farm", complete with squealing piglets. Merner's Meats was judged the best commercial float with Janice Hayter, one of the Friedsburg Princesses on deck. The Bank of Montreal placed second, Hoffman's Ambulance third and Schroeder's Milling, fourth. The best non-commercial float was "Hillbilly Heaven" by Country Unlimited. Cliff Pep- per's Poultry Farm was second. The "Friedsburg Express", a miniature train constructed by 'YACMAR and ARC Industries won the award for the best float by a service group and the Chamber of Commerce float, decorated by ARC Industries came second. The youngest single entry was Jeff Butler on a tricycle. In the bicycle decorating contest, Susan Finkbeiner placed first, Susan Baynham, second Planning to build . . • SWIMMING POOL? • SIDEWALK? • PATIO? • FLOWER GARDEN? While traffic through the park is supposed to flow in an easterly direction on a one-way route, many people fail to see the signs and end up poroceeding east. Shaw said the entrance onto Highway 4 was dangerous because visibility was cut down by the bridge and the signs would curtail accidents. Although members explained that people could not readily see signs in the park noting the one- way route, no changes will be made in this regard in the im- mediate future. Council also agreed with the police committee to prohibit left turns onto Main St. for motorists travelling east on John and James Street East. Both intersections were noted as being dangerous due to reduced visibility. Also approved was a recom- mendation that the police be permitted to place traffic cones in "appropriate places" on Main St. at times when they felt left turns should not be permitted. The police committee said this would alleviate some of the traffic tie-ups which occur at peak traffic periods when motorists attempting to make left turns off Main St. backed traffic up for a considerable distance. "Someone will get killed putting up the cones," Councillor Ted Wright opined. He and councillor Bob Simpson opposed the plan. Increase fines for liquor, speed Beginning August 15, fines levied in Huron County courts for liquor and driving offences will be increased. Exeter police chief Ted Day told the T-A Tuesday afternoon he had received information from the Provincial Court office in Goderich regarding the changes. Under the new regulations a person found guilty of having beer, liquor or wine open in a motor vehicle will be fined a minimum of $53. On a second offence the fine will be greater. Speeders charged with speeding of from one to ten miles per hour over the limit will be charged $1 per mile. For those in the 11-19 mile class will be charg- ed $2 per mile, and the 20-29 mile per hour speeders will pay $3 per mile. In each instance court cost of $3 will be levied. Anyone travel- ling 30 or more miles per hour over the limit must appear before the presiding judge. Chief Day said police hope these increases will act as a deterrent to the motoring public and will assist in preventing non- sensical accidents that plague our highway. He continued, "As police chief of Exeter I would ask the public, is it worth a $53 fine for an open bottle of beer in your car? I also ask your help in slowing down the speed of your motor vehicles. Let's do something worthwhile and cut down on the number of accidents," The chief said after an inter- view with Judge Glenn Hays that the regular Tuesday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. J.P. court held by Justice. of the Peace Douglas Wedlake may be discontinued. Due to the increase in cases a Justice of the Peace court may be held once a week other than a Tuesday, We offer . . . :4.

Noting that the residents of Dashwood had approved a pipeline from Lake Huron, Stephen said a trunk line along Highway 83 could be considered to supply the future water needs of residents in Exeter, Stephen and Hay, While a pipeline has been con- sidered by the Exeter PUC, engineer B.

The order had been posted by building inspector Doug Triebner because the home does not have the required 25-foot setback. The contractors also have the home sitting on an angle on the lot and Councillor Bob Simpson told Aunger Tuesday night it "looks like a sore thumb". Aunger agreed that it was a bad situation and explained that the contractors had apparently used the wrong lot line posts in lining up the foundation. He has submitted an ap- plication to the committee of adjustment to allow a minor variance in the setback and thereby gain approval to proceed with the home as it is now located. However, Councillor Bruce Shaw advised him that council would file an objection because the setback requirement was contrary to the zoning bylaws. Shaw also noted that several neighbors had voiced opposition to allowing the home to proceed as presently planned, Aunger said it would probably cost $4,000 to remove the present foundation and construct .a new one. While council members sympathized with him, they suggested he should be talking to • his lawyer about the situation to see if he had just cause to ask the contractors to correct the situation. After he left the meeting, council approved a motion to file a written objection with the committee of adjustment and to ti have two representatives attend the August 22 hearing to argue council's case against allowing the variance. Reeve Derry Boyle and Councillor Shaw were asked to be the representatives. In the discussion Clerk Eric Carscadden said no building permit had been approved for the home under construction, A permit had been approved for Another home on the lot Some time ago, but when the home design was changed, no new application was submitted.
