Photos and story by Mary Blt et The great boar hunt With the hunting season in Ontario over for the last five weeks, passers- by ers- by could be excused if they raised their eyebrows when two men and ..-.....-..a------ h-u-n.ti-ng-...- -dog disappeared into the bush between Seaforth and Brucefield Wednesday morning, April 4. When they came out, a short time later, they had rounded up a boar, which they proceeded to load into a pick-up truck. The prelude to this event began the day before when Jan Koene of Bayfield bought a Yorkshire boar from Bob Robinson of Walton. The boar loaded and all business transactions completed, the happy owner drove home, only to discover that he had an empty truck when he proceeded to unload his prize. Immediately he retraced his route, but could see no trace of the Smile "Anything to say before I hang you?" the executioner asked the golf pro. "Yea, how about a couple of practice swings?" boar anywhere. Arriving back at the Robinson farm, Bob phoned an ad in to the weekly papers and a request for help to the W ing.ha_.m- - radio sta-tion. CKNX. This call came on the air the next morning and was picked up by an unidentified man, driving west of Seaforth. While still listening he saw the boar amblingan.ad- jacent in field. He called Mr. Koene, who was soon on the scene only to find that ____the----- boar had .. disappeared again. Returning home he fetched a helper and a hunting dog and the rest is history.

V�� EN� 5t19?9� COM SP'EGIA`- RDAY, MAY THISNOSA1 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MAY 3 , 197.—PAGE 7 Full house.see fashions The summer of '79 will be the season of change in the fashion world. The soft neutrals are giving way to bright, bold colors — lime green, chrome yellow, vibrant turquoise. Last year's loose and full pants are now slim and narrow. Dresses are slightly shorter — just below the knee rather than calf length — but with a daring front split giving a glimpse of leg. A "Fashion Forecast" for '79 was presented to a crowd pf about 850 at Exeter's Rec Centre last Wednesday evening. Proceeds from the $4 admittance ticket went to the Canadian Cancer Socie- ty. Clothing for the show came from Merry Rags, a Grand Bend boutique. Co- owner of Merry Rags, Johanna Andrews, and CFPL radio personality Bill Brady were commentators for the program. Local talent and professional models combined to give the public a look at many styles that make up the '79 fashion forecast. The cowboy look is back and creating a fashion stampede. Fringed satin shirts team up with the ever - popular denim in boleros, wrap-around skirts and, of course, jeans. Cowboy boots complete with spurs comple- ment the western look. Fashion is also retrogressive this year, with styles reminiscent of the '40s. Long hair is braided and piled high under veiled hats. Jackets are belted to show off delicate peplums. Padded shoulders and button -down -front dresses recall the years of the se- cond world war. Floor length dress are only worn on very formal oc- casions, and for evening wear the handerchief hemline is more in keeping with today's look. The tulip bottom dress with the high front opening is also popular with the party -goer. Soft blouson bodices with flowing skirts in bright colors are "in" for evening wear, especialy with the dis- co set. Hot pinks or shocking lavenders catch the eye. Jacket dresses are back for daytime wear, along with. the class,jp. suit. Accessories and all- important — belts are bright and narrow, scarves in every color imaginable. However, Merry Rags is not suggesting that you wear only belts or scarves over black tights as their models did in the exciting "Extre, extra" scene. The always popular bikini is still with us on the beach, but the one-piece bathing suit is making a come -back. Sheered bandeaux hold up strapless one piecets for smooth tanning. An important part of beach wear is the cover-up. This year anything goes — full-length wrap-around skirts, long gowns, and even loose genie pants. Attractive models of all ages showed off the styles of '79; Tracy Lee Homans of Toronto, Adrian Rankin, Kay Carruthers, and Rose Marie Maertens of London, Joy Hogg and Nancy Michaud of Zurich, Beth Jean of Grand Bend, Dean Frayne and Connie Johnston of Exeter, and Wendy An- drews Elliott, Co-owner of Merry Rags. Marie Homans was show director and Dave Shepherd provided organ music. Fashion show organizers were very pleased with the show and believe that profits for the Cancer Society will be in the $3000 range.
