Donations of $3,250 have been approved by Dashwopd's Friedsburg Day committee following a most successful event this past summer, Total profit from the two-day event has been set at $5,316. The committee members, in outlining their financial statement, expressed a sincere "thank you" to all who volun- teered their help, to those who participated in various events and to all who attended. The Dashwood picnic pavilion received $1,000 from the com- mittee, while another $1,000 went into a reserve for building sup- plies. A sum of $500 was given to South Huron Hospital for a cardiac care unit and a similar amount to ARC Industries in Dashwood. The Bluewater Shrine Club were given $250 towards their hospital for crippled children. The balance of the funds on hand were set aside as a reserve for the 1975 committee. To the editor: I would like to,that* the T-A for allowing me to use your Paper to thank the eitizens of Exeter and area for their pledges toWard$ our walkathon held on Sunday, October 6, in which the Exeter Kinsmen Club raised ap- proximately $525 towards Cystic FibrosiS. Yours truly Ben Hoogenboom Kin participate in walkathon Six members of the Exeter Kinsmen club participated in Sunday's very successful walkathon in support of cystic fibrosis research, The Exeter men and Kinsmen and Kinettes from Lucknow, Wingham, Henson, flarriston, Mount Forest, Drayton, Shelburne and Harriston walked the 12 miles from Lucknow to Wingham under ideal weather conditions. The local participants were president Dennis Hockey, walkathon chairman Ben Hoogenboom, Gernot Dauber, Larry Hockey, Bill Dinney and Ken Snedden. Their pledges amounted to $525. The total money gained by the eight clubs from Zone B amounted to $4,495. Walkers in similar walks throughout Southern Ontario brought the grand total to more than $61,000. This is about $25,000 more than the initial goal set by organizers. The money raised will go to support the cystic fibrosis research centre at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, originally built by Ontario Kinsmen clubs. Oakwood Inn and Golf Course in Grand Bend has been sold to a group of five persons, headed by London Businessman, Peter Ivey, it was learned from the Free Press earlier this week. Fred Walker, owner of the 200 acre golf course and lodge in the resort was unavailable for comment at press time. Details of the transaction between Walker and the group which includes former Ontario Premier John Robarts were not, available. According to the Free Press Mr. Ivey said a group of property owners in the small subdivision of Oakwood Park had made an offer of purchase because there was a chance the club might be sold to outside interests. Mr. Roberts said the property is expected to change hands January 1, 1975. offer as many courses as possible but it is up to the community to decide which ones they want by the number of people registered. Only two students have registered to date for the general art course but courses in ceramics, oil painting and sewing all have sufficient to hold a class. Interior decoration, taxidermy and theatre arts are still short. Judo,Modern dance and bridge classes still need more people. Ali courses offered are open to anyone interested, Mr. Wooden said. "We have offered between 60 and 70 courses and we would like to let the community know they are available and hope they will respond." The school tries to terested;" Mr. Wooden said. The other academic courses are still light, which Mr. Wooden says is standard. The requirement for number registered depends on the course, he said. The physical fitness and art courses require more students than the academic ones to make them fun and justify bringing a teacher in. Mr. Wooden said the secretarial courses were well booked but that all of the shop courses offered still needed more people. - - Registration for night school courses at South Huron High School have been going quite well during the first week of registration. Principal Joe Wooden said Wednesday that several classes have enough response now to go but many of the classes still need more students. Registration is still open for all academic and interest courses, Mr. Wooden said. All grade thirteen credit courses are still short of registrants. Accounting is the only course that will be offered unless more students register. "We try to offer these courses even if there are only half a dozen students who are really in- Sorority chapter to honour pledges Alpha Phi chapter of Beta Sigma Phi met on October 8 at the home of Verla Russell. Twelve members and five guests were present. Roll call was answered by summarizing a recently read book. Plans were made for a banquet honouring the new pledges to be held on November 5. A program entitled "Prose" was presented by Eila Martin. Kippen II 4-H club held their first meeting of "The Club Girl Entertains" at Mrs. Al Hoggarth's home. Ten girls and their leaders Mrs. Hoggarth and Mrs. Parsons opened the meeting with the 4-H Pledge. The election of officers was held: president Chris McGregor; vice-president Mary Jane McGregor; secretary Sharon Finlayson; press reporter Linda Bell. The girls received their member's pamphlets and booklets. The subject matter for the meeting was discussed. Everyone showed what talent they had for arranging fall flowers. They chose the name "The Kippen Tea Tippers" for their club. The next meeting will be held Monday October 7 at the home of Mrs. Parsons. The books for this club will be orange with brown lettering. The meeting closed with the song "The more we get together." First winner in Lion bingo The first winner in the Ex- eter Lions armchair bingo has been announced. Alice Watson, 109 Parkdale, Huron Park won $25 in being the first bingo player to come up with the four corners. Similar prizes of $25 each will go to the first card with an X, T and around the centre numbers covered. A full card is worth $300. Three numbers are being drawn each morning this week. Starting Monday, two numbers will be drawn each day for the next two weeks and if the bingo continues, only one number will be drawn each morning thereafter. An unusual discovery was made this week by Alf Culbert while making arrangements for the sale of the late Mrs. Willa Browning. In a drawer of an old cupboard, he came across a yellowed copy of The Exeter Express, dated November 1903. The existence of a newspaper known as The Express comes as a surprise to the T-A, because it has never been mentioned in any historical facts about newspapers in the community to our knowledge, The portion of the copy found by Mr.Culbert does not give any indication as to who published it. The fact that it had only a November date on it, may suggest that it was printed only monthly. The only local advertisement contained in the four-page section was for J. W. Browning, Dominion Laboratory. He was billed only as a chemist and druggist with no mention being made of the fact he was also a doctor. Mr. Culbert speculated it may, ,have been prier,„to Dr. Browning becoming a doctor. The other advertisements contained in the issue were for patent medicines and many of the items on the pages also told "success" stories from users of the medicines advertised. There was no local news. This may suggest that the newspaper was a form of ad- vertising distributed by various chemists and druggists with only the advertisement on the front page banner and main ad- vertisement changed in each community. If any readers can recall The Exeter Express, we would ap- preciate hearing from them.

Changes mind for good word Councillor Tom MacMillan said Monday night he was prepared to commend the local works crew for the manner in which they keep Main St. clean. He said he noted the cleanliness as he pulled out of his drive one clay, but he decided against airing the commendation two blocks later when a stone flew up off the pavement and broke his windshield. After the laughter subsided, MacMillan said the works crew and the PUC should be com- mended for the manner in which they keep services running smoothly for local ratepayers. He lamented the fact that those who had complained about the street conditions in the past had not seen fit to air their com- mendation now that im- provements have been made. "We always get more com- plaints for the things we fail to do, than compliments for the things we dodo," Mayor Jack Delbridge added. He said he could remember being coniplimented on something once about 10 years ago, but couldn't recall what it Was. Usborne asks egg restriction Usborne township council recently approved a resolution which will be forwarded to the Ontario Egg Producers Marketing Board. It asks the provincial board to stop any egg producer from set- ting up operations in any of the hamlets in the municipality for the reason of probable increased air pollution resulting from such an operation. The application for the repair of the open portion of the McDougall municipal drain was accepted and will be forwarded to engineer A. J. beVos for an examination and report. An application for similar work on the repair of the Down drain was also approved and the same engineer appointed. One tile drain loan application in the amount of $6,000 was accepted. Approval reports from the Huron County Land Division Committee on the Edgar Baker and Wilfred Paton severance applications Were received and the Ross Tufts application was deferred. TO QUESTION LEVY Exeter council will seek some clarification regarding the new cost sharing structure recently approved by county council. Under the new setup, Exeter's share Of the county rate will be increased from 5.9 percent to 6.1 percent. Clerk Eric Carscadden said he didn't think the new levy Was legal because it Wag not baSed solely On Assessment as directed in the municipal act. Reeve Boyle said the new levy was based partly on assessment and on population and had been brought about at the instigation of rural mtinieiptilities in the cotinty. He said the change was con- sidered to get a more equitable sharing for "people services" Such as libraries, health and Welfare, which normally run higher in the county's urban communities.
