The Artisan's Trade Exhibition at the Livery this past weekend. These were just some of the fascinating crafts on display Saturday and Sun- day. Local artisans and other crafts people from Southwestern Ontario gathered to exhibit their in- tricate skilled work. - For instance, lirnW?allacet, of Benmiller., demonstrated blacksmithing and some of the techniques used in or- namental ironwork. Peter Chandler, of Wingham, demonstrated making celli and violins in various sizes. And Ray Hanna, of Auburn, hand turned bowls and vases on local wood. He promotes conservation of woodlots through his craft and 4-H. Phil and Pauli Sommer of Dungannon make glass boxes and use hydrofluoric acid- etching techniques. They operate Sommersun Glassworks and demonstrated glass solder- ing using copperfoil. Barb and Bill Green from Charing Cross were at the show, They have been metal sculpting for 10 years. One of their major works was the corn mural for the 1979 Plow- ing Match in ` Chatham. It measured eight feet high by 60 feet wide. Karen Scott Booth operates a gallery in Kinkora where she .,;does commission work in func- tional stoneware and pot- tery. She was also at the show, These people and many -,more enjoyed exhibiting their work at the Livery and agreed that it was an ap- propriate venue for them. Solar post office holds; open house On Friday, August 26, the Grand Bend Post Office threw open its doors to give the publih a first-hand look at what ;goes -on behind the :, wicket area in a typical rural post •office. The event also gave visitors an opportunity to see something a little rarer: how a solar=powered heating system works. The open house began at 2 p.m. with a short presentation ceremony in front of the building, located at 81 Cres- cent Street, The Grand Bend Post Of- fice provides postal service to the village and area through 1,330 lockand general delivery boxes found at the facility and through two rural routes that include another 415 points of call. Garfield Johnston, the 12th postmaster to serve the com- munity since Grand Bend's first post office was opened in 1872, supervises a staff of ,seven, including • two ;rural route contractors. An interesting feature of the post office - which was erected and occupied in 1982 - is its method of heating. Known as passive solar heating, Grand Bend is only the second office in southwestern Ontario to employ this method. The system consists of 16 solar panels called watersh- ed collectors - made of tinted glass and mounted on the roof facing south to catch the' maximum amount of the sun's rays - which heat the air in an insulated ceiling space. The heated air is ducted to a large bin that contains rocks which have a capacity to retain heat for up to five days, releasing it as needed into the building. t_ 1983 GODERICH INDUSTRIAL FASTBALL LEAGUE 15th ANNUAL LABOUR DAY WEEKEND FASTBALL TOURNAMENT FREE DANCE FRIDAY NIGHT Music by RICHARD EARNST Disc Jockey CONSOLATION SEMI FINAL 100.00 QUARTER FINAL, $50.00 MONDAY 10:30 AM D2 SUNDAY 9AM Irl "A" DIVISION FRIDAY - 9 PM AGRICULTURAL PARK, GODERICH FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 3, 4, 5 TEAMS COMPETING FOR $3140.00 PRIZE MONEY CHAMPIONSHIP I TIN"C", 'if W ,(Hili 'AVL r15 FINAL MON. 4:30 126.00 SUNDAY 12 AIM 132 SATURDAY .9 10 AM D1 SUNDAY 10:30 AM DI QUARTER FINAL $95.00 SARftIA R; Rrig> ESATURDAY -DI 11 AM I-1r1rNIN 1 1r I.UI'KNOW I FI,IDNAIRE SATURDAY - 1230 PM D 2.

The 1,300 -plus boxes are mounted on an exterior wall that gives customers 24-hour access to their mail. Johnston, who has been Grand Bend's postmaster since 1970, is pleased with the new office. "The working area is larger and makes more effi- cient use of space," be !ex- plains, "and the building itself is an attractive piece of architecture — particularly the solar panels." More importantly, however, Johnston adds that, with the new surroun- dings, he and his staff are "now able to provide even better service to our customers."
