Diary o fa Vagabond
Squid Versus Brones.
It is possible •that one has
to have been born on the prair-
ies and to have lived in east-
ern Canada, as I have, to fully
appreciate the romantic under-
taking recently reported by a
news release by CN's Moncton
Public Relations office. Yes, it
is an exciting tale of national
interest I feel sure and un-
doubtedly its predicted success
will have quite a bearing, not
only on Newfoundland's• produc-
tion future, but on our eco-
nomic record as a nation.
The news release which seem-
ed so exciting informed me that
this year an initial step was
taken in an experiment to make
Newfoundland self-sufficient in
beef production. Up to now
this province has had to import
most of the beef for its do-
mestic market, either in the
form of carcasses shipped in
Canadian National refrigerator
cars, or as slaughter cattle
bought in the Maritimes and
brought by boat and train to
Newfoundland.
Western Canadian cattlemen
have always been notoriously
adventuresome. It was not sur-
prising to me therefore to read
that in the mididle of June 1963,
rumors of a plan to develop a
cattle ranch on the Burin Pen-
instala were broadcast and that
Harold Lees of the "Diamond
L" ranch near Kisbey, Sask.,
(plus a group of shareholders)
was planning to establish a
ranch in Newfoundland. They
had even chosen the name
"Flying L" and had in their bag
of tricks the intention of tak-
ing advantage, not only of sup-
plying beef for the island prov-
ince, but seeking a market for
"chilled" beef in nearby Eur-
ope.
Trial Herd Journeyed East
Quoting from the release, "In
October 1963 a trial herd of one
carload of heifers plus 19 hor-
ses, were moved by train in
ON-chartered freighters from
Kisbey, Sask. to Goobies in
Newfoundland. These were fol-
lowed in December by a three
carload Shipment of cattle.
From Goobies they were trail-
driven 80 miles to Marystown
by two western cowboys, Frank
Burger and Art Hall, both or-
iginally from Kisbey.
"The herd wintered at Moor-
ing Cove two miles from Marys,
town and remained fat and
healthy although it was: the
worst winter in several years.
In the spring they were moved
to Winterland, an agricultural
area seven miles from Marys-
town.
"During this past summer a
larger operation was launched.
One thousand cattle plus two
calves born en route, were
brought to Moncton, N.B., in
39 cattle cars at the beginning
of August. The animals were
unloaded through specially
erected chutes directly from
the cattle cars to a pasture
near CN's Moncton marshalling
yard in a record two hours.
Pasture had been leased as a
holding area for the herd as it
waited to be shipped to New-
"You're through, sir . . .
soon as we pry these hands
loose!" 4
foundland in 150-animal lots.
"The first 150 cattle were
held in CN stock pens over-
night and then moved out in
the morning by train to North
Sydney vvhere they were load-
ed aboard the CN-chartered
freighter, the Cecilienne Marie.
After crossing the 90-mile
Cabot Strait to Port aux Bas-
ques they were loaded on a CN
train and taken to Goobies, the
railway's point leading into the
Burin Peninsula.
"The freighter carried on a
five-day, turn-about shuttle ser-
vice across the strait which re
stilted in the entire herd being
landed in Goobies by August
20. From an ,assembly point
near the railhead this large
herd was driven by cowboys on
horseback to the ranch at
Marystown.
"Great hopes for the success
of the ranch venture have been
expressed both by Mr. Lees and
his associates and by the Prem-
ier of Newfoundland, J. R.
Smallwood, who mounted horse
and took part in the cattle
drive himself.
"If the cattle thrive on the
prairies of the east, bronc bust-
ing may vie for top venture
with squid jigging in the island
province."

EDITORIAL.
By ART ELLIOTT
Bayfield Almost Unique .
Dr. James Tolman, guest speaker at the meeting,
of Huron County Historical Society here the other
night had much of interest to say about Huron County
generally and Bayfield in particular.
Bayfield has an "almost unique" opportunity not
given to many communities in this province, Dr.
Tolman observed, referring to the character of the
village, arrested as it were, about 50 years back and
frozen in a state of unsullied quaintness. Here, he
thought, we have an opportunity to preserve a. piece,
of Canadiana intact.
His many interesting references to Bayfield and
surrounding communities of Varna and the like were
absorbed with evident relish by the substantial gath-
ering of Society members. Dr. Tolman, as he admit-
ted, had come to evangelize, to instil some interest
and zeal in what he had presumed to be a lukewarm
and small audience. He found the parish hall packed
with zealots and a good number of persons of no mean
accomplishment in the field of discovering and record-
ing local history.
It was anexcellent meeting, Dr. Tolman gave an
interesting talk, judiciously spiced with references
to local history that could not fail to be of interest.
The objects on display around the hall attested to the
interest taken by local members of the Society and
indeed confirmed that we have a rich heritage to
preserve.
We are grateful to Dr. Tolman for an amusing
and informative address. We are mildly astonished
that he should have chosen the occasion to cast a
pettish pebble in the direction of Arnold Toynbee.
We cannot but help be mildly •amused at the picture
of Dr. Tolman using a stepladder to climb Toynbee's
small •toe, clay though it may be.
New Nomination Date?
It is expected The Ontario Municipal Board will
soon carry out the procedure for setting up nomina-
tions and elections for the re-incorporated Village of
Bayfield. It appeared that the meeting set for this
Friday night would see none nominated.
The present police village trustees remain in of-
fice until the end of December, by which time it is
hoped the situation will be clarified.
The Bulletin has been advised that Elmer Bell,
Q.C., has been retained by the OMB to prepare the
matrial required to set up the new electoral machin-
ery. He was expected to attend a meeting in Toronto
today when some progress could be expected.
Ther has been plenty of speculation as to who the
reeve and councillors will be, with Brigadier Frederick
Clift prominently mentioned as a possible popular
choice for reeve, although no hats are officially in
the ring as yet.
