their damages. Bert VisschCr of Visscher Farms reports he has lost
40 acres of cauliflower and 20 acres of broccoli and estimates his
loss at $150,000. 25 YEARS AGO
September 16, 1971 - Political activity started to swing into high
gear this week following the announcement by Premier William Da-
vis that Ontario voters will go to the polls on October 21.

Education were adjusted at a special meeting recently.The director

$23,000.

er was the winner of the $25,000 Shrine home giveaway at the
Western Fair this week.

mer Northland Hatchery Ltd. building on Highway 83 according to
Exeter Industrial Development chairman W.G. Cochrane.
40 YEARS AGO
September 17, 1956 - Bus transportation for rural students costing
approximately $30,000 for the school year, was approved at a meet-
ing of SHDHS last week.
Charles L. Jinks, 78, a resident of Hensall for over 50 years and
rural mail carrier on R.R. 1, Hensall for 34 years is retiring because
of ill health.
Dianne Rennie, Hensall won first prize for her safety poster at the

children from six schools.
Mrs. Almer Passmore, R.R. 1, Woodham. mother of three children
became the first winner of Gram's Trophy, donated by the Times
Advocate to the champion cook of the district at the Exeter Fall
Fair.
50 YEARS AGO
September 15, 1946 - Over 10,000 ration books were issued in the
Exeter district. Mr. R.N. Creech who was in charge of the distribu-
tion here, was assisted by a number of volunteer workers.
A half penny bank token of the Bank of Upper Canada was found
by Mrs. M. McAvoy in her garden. Date on the coin was 1857.
75 YEARS AGO

Among the many outstanding features of the Exeter Fall Fair last
week was the egg demonstration put on by the government, assisted
by C.F. Hooper. Other noteworthy exhibits were those of M.C. Gar-
diner, with a most beautifully arranged line of furniture: W.W. Ta-
man, gents' suiting and furnishings and O. Southcott, store goods.
100 YEARS AGO
September 17, 1896 - Bicyclists claim that some farmers are in the
habit of refusing to give them a share of the road. Bicyclists are enti-
tled to half of the road and offenders are liable to prosecution. The
fact that he is seated on a big !amber wagon in a collision in:which a
bicycle would be totally wrecked, does not give any man a right to
more than half of the road.
More houses in town are badly needed. The Times has enquiries
almost every day for houses, and it is difficult to answer them, as
there is hardly an available house to rent.
Coon hunting is the sport in the country these nights.
The apple crop in this section is so large that many farmers have
had to prop their trees to keep them from breaking. There are two
evaporating institutions here, besides nearly every second farmer
has a small plant of his own. Thousands of dollars worth of apples
are wasting on the trees.
Marriage licences are now issued at Hick's Jewelry Store. No wit-
nesses are required.

Huron Board of Education and Canadian
HOMEtown extend partnership doctors
CLINTON - Following a meeting
between officials of the Huron
County Board of Education and
representatives of the HOMEtown
Community Internet Network,
agreement has been reached to ex-
tend the working partnership be-
tween the local school board and
the HOMEtown community Co-op
Internet service provider. As an ad-
ditional step towards the develop-
ment of an integrated electronic
communication network across Hu-
ron County, the board has agreed to
extend access to its internal, more
secure, 'intranet' communications
system to HOMEtown. The result
will be to allow the HOMEtown
group to market a combined Inter-
net/intranet package to agencies
and groups requiring such services.
While Internet service provides
global access to the information
highway, the more restricted 'intra-
net' system will allow groups in
multiple locations to intercopnect
via the local, higher security infor-
mation e-mail package, by utilizing
the Internet connection but now al-
lowing the usual broad access to
such information. This service will
be of interest to any groups requir-
ing the transfer of confidential in-
formation, data, graphics and textu-
al information in a more secure
environment.
Steps were also announced to
provide a working 'intranet' com-
munication system to the Huron
County Library, using Huron
County Board of Education soft-
ware and support systems to dem-
onstrate the concept.
A presentation of the combined
information service package will be
made to the October meeting of the
Association of Clerk Treasurers for
Huron County. An update is being
provided to the Information Com-
mittee of the Huron Community
Services Network on September
19.
For more information contact
Bert Meerveld at HOMEtown at
519-660-6657 or Shelley King at
the Education Centre at 519-482-

LCBO introduces BYID photo ID card
TORONTO - The LCBO is intro-
ducing a new BYID (Bring Your
Identification) photo ID card to
make it easier to determine whether
its customers are of legal drinking
age.
Issued to persons 19 years of age
or older, the new BYID card has
been developed in response to pub-
lic requests for a new form of ID
card since the Ontario Photo Card,
formerly produced by the Liquor
Licence Board of Ontario (LLBO),
was discontinued in April of this
year.
The BY1D card costs $15. and is
the same size as a driver's licence.
It includes the applicant's name,
date of birth, date of issue and a se-
rial number.
The LCBO has suggested that
Brewer's Retail Inc. and Ontario
wineries also accept the BYID card
as proof of age in their stores.
All LCBO stores carry applica-
tion forms for the BYID card in
their information racks. The appli-
cations come with a bilingual tear -
off form for customers to send to
LCBO head office in Toronto for
processing. Applications can also
be requested through the toll-free
LCBO Infoline 1-800-ONT-LCBO
(668-5226.) In Metro Toronto call
(416) 365-5900.
The penalty for submitting false
information is up to one year im-
prisonment or a fine up to
$100,000 or both.
Ontario Photo Cards will still be
accepted as proof of age in LCBO
outlets, as will valid passports, div-
er's licences, Canadian citizenship
cards and military cards. These
forms of identification are still the
only valid proof of age in licenseed
Applicants for BYID cards must
provide a current photograph,
along with the signature of a guar-
antor, such as a lawyer, medical
doctor, bank manager or profes-
sional accountant who can vouch

for the applicant's identity, similar
to requirements for passport appli-

also be conducted to confirm that
