Snowmobile drag racer
In the past two weeks, a
Dashwood youth has made a
name for himself in Western
Ontario in snowmobile grass
drag races.
Eighteen year-old Brian
Kipfer was the winner of the 340
super modified races at Chatham
on November 16 and the following
week he succeeded in finishing
first in one race at Hully Gully
and was runner-up in another.
At Chatham, Brian driving an
Alouette machine reached speeds

of 103 miles per hour on an eighth
of a mile course. It was a five
race series and the Dashwood
youngsters accumulated the most
points overall.
The top speed on the final day
at Chatham was turned in by Joe
Wolfe of Cromwell, Michigan in
the top race of the day in a
Yamaha.
Brian who started in go-kart
racing at the age of 11 now has a
total of 27 trophies from the two
racing sports.
At Hully Gully on November
23 Brian was first in the 340
:,aper modified and second in the
440 super modified with the same
Alouette machine in the Ontario
championship Red -X series.
Speeds at Hully Gully were not
clocked but Brian estimated
speeds of close to 100 miles per
hour on the straightaway.
Brian has purchased a new
Yamaha SRX with 440 dis-
placement and will have it ready
for the Ontario Snowmobile
Racing Federation's "A" san-
ctioned races at Hully Gully,
December 27 and 28.
Brian says he prefers racing on
snow rather than grass. He
commented, "the grass is harder
on the machines."
Fuel used in the racing mach-
ines is 100 percent pure alcohol
because engines reach higher
RPM's.
Before an upcoming race, Brian
spends every night for a week
getting his machine into top
racing condition. He added,
"many times I work into the wee
hours of the morning."
Brian works with his father,
Elgin Kipfer at Dashwood Motors
and operates a serivce repair shop
for Port Franks Variety and
Rentals.
Hall Lamp
severance pay
After a wait of a little more
than two years, former employees
of the Hall Lamp plant at Huron
Park will get at least some of
their severance pay.
United Auto Workers president
Robert Nickerson announced
last week that about 400 of the
hourly rated employees will
share in 3100,000 which has been
paid into the Ontario Labour
Ministry following a bankruptcy
action brought about by the
UAW.
In the settlement each employ-
ee will likely receive from *200
to $300 depending on length
of service, the hourly rate they
were receiving and the amount
of notice they were given.
The Union is now compiling
a list of names and addresses
and social insurance numbers
of the employees.
The amount of the settlement
was only one-fifth of the $500,000
the union was asking for.
Committee

The Stanley Township Recrea-
tion Committee met in the hall
Tuesday night for their monthly
