THE LIGHTHOUSE MOTEL AND RESTAURANT SITUATED AT POINT CLARK, NEAR THE LIGHTHOUSE Modern Motel Overnight Accommodation Housekeeping Facilities Available Restaurant Close to the Beach R.R.1 RIPLEY - Open all year round Great area . fore: hil g PHONE 395-559S 1 AN OPEN LETTER In response to the open letter that appeared in your issue of June 12th, the Lucknow Agricul- tural Society would like to clarify some of the misunderstandings. On January 25 , 1971 Mr. and Mrs, Reg Jones approached the Lucknow Agricultural Society asking 'for a ;sponsorship of a Craft Show to be held in Lucknow on July 80 and 31st. They explain ,ed that this •would be complimen- tary to the Carlow Christmas Fair and stated that the Carlow Craft Show felt a great ,need for a Craft Show during the tourist season. Mrs. WilmerHardy was of a great assistance at this time. Mr. and, Mrs: Reg Jones were appointed as managers of the first Summer Craft Festival sponsored by the Lucknow Agricultural ,Society. As far as the dispute is concern- ed , itarises from the 'fact that Mrs. McCharles does not wish • to abide by her own motion. On August 23,1971 Mrs. Marion McCharles made a motion that the six original Craft Festival Committee and six directors from the .Board ,:of Directors ofthe Luck- now Agricultural Society complete this year's business and then turn the proceeds over to the Lucknow Agricultural Society and be con trolled by the Lucknow Agricultur- al Society in the, future. This mo- tion was seconded by Mrs./ Anne McInnes. At a meeting of the Lucknow Agricultural Society on October '30 1973, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Mc - Charles were appointed conveners of the 1974 Summer Craft Festival to be •sponsored by the Lucknow Agricultural Society: It was not until April 3,19'14 that the Society were aware of any changes until they received a letter from •their lawyer notifying the Agricultural Society of the divorce. It was always under- stood by the arena board that the arena was rented to the Lucknow Agricultural Society for their Craft Festival. In January 1974 the Craft Festiv- al secretary's and the treasurer's books were removed illegally from the 1974 officers and as of this date they have not been re- turned. This makes it very diffi- cult for th Society to contact the crafters that were booked for the - 1974 Festival in the Lucknow arena,. We hope that this letter has cleared up some of the confusion, however the majority of the people are confused by the various titles assigned to the craft show to be held in Ripley , some of which are the Lucknow. Craft Festival, the Huron -Bruce Arts and Crafts Council and Ripley's Believe It or Not Festival.

Government Of Buck Passing Liberal 'agriculture Critic Mur- ray Gaunt (M.P.P. , Huron -Bruce). today accused the Provincial Min- ister of Agriculture of playing pol- itical games and blaming the Feder -1 Government for the prob- lems.,of Ontario's farmers. "Our farmers need some assur- ance that increased production will not lead to short term sur- pluses, which ruin prices and force them into bankruptcy" , said Mr. Gaunt. "The Minister of Agriculture has a great tendency to wash his hands of the farmers' problems, putting the blame on Ottawa. This kind, of political buck passing game has been a favourite with the ,has Govern- ment for far too long. The prob- lems of our agriculture industry can only be solved if the federal and •provincial governments co- operate with one another, regard- less of political affiliations. "Farmers will not .continue to , invest money in new machinery, more land, and other expensive in- puts necessary to increase vital food production, if they have protection against. today's unc tain prices.
