Hay Days
The turnout was excellent

ones! Proceeds from the Friedsburg event are used for community
betterment.

gust 2 edition of the Exeter Times Advocate.
Beef barbecue held

CENTRALIA - Summer vacation time is here, and I've talked to many
people from the Centralia area who are enjoying the opportunity to travel
and explore this interesting country of Canada. Some families are heading
for cottages at the beach, while others are eager to take their tents and
breathe the cool air of the forests.
My husband and I just returned from British Columbia and Alberta.
When we arrived in Victoria and were walking toward the British Colum-
bia Provincial Museum, we met some friends from the Mt. Carmel area,
Betty and Greg Vanhie, who were also on vacation. It was a very pleasant
surprise to begin our vacation.
We returned home on the weekend, and heard about the incredible storm
last Thursday and the damage that it caused throughout the area. Fierce
winds severely damaged many trees, homes and barns in the Centralia
area. Hydro repair crews worked very hard and restored power to homes
on Friday.
Thanks to June Essery for providing you with Centralia news last week.
Welcome to Ruthann and Matt Pickett who are currently back in Cen-
tralia and enjoying visits with friends and relatives. They are attending
courses at The University of Western Ontario during vacation from their
teaching in Wiarton.

pare the baked potatoes and baked beans, and the women baked pies for
