r. Hinchley knows th
Creamery business well; whenb
retired some years ago, he wa
manager of the Eastern Ontari
branches of the United Co-opera
tives of Ontario Creameries
He still lives in Renfrew and doe
research into the history of tha
area too.
In his youth, Mr. 11111C1dey
worked for another pioneerSea-
forth industry, the Robert 13e11
Engine Co. Few people realize,
he says, that Bell Engine made
shells in Seaforth which were
used in the , First World War.
Harry Hinchley hasp too taken
at Bell Engine during that era.
The history of Seafo'rth's
great sporting; teams, both la-
crosse and hockey (he says the
Sills and the fields were great
hockey players) is another
1m?ortant 'aspect re: the town's
past which Mr. Hinchley would
like to see collected and appre-
ciated. "We could have a ht-ezkey
museum here", he said.
"And the brickwork, -the
facade on Main St., the Town
Hall, the unu.r.Lai chin:'', at Bell
Engine" he says with enthusiasm
"these are all fine examp'.es of
Victorian traftsxnans.111p. "A
book has been 'vette!' '' on ""the
stones of Kingston,; why .not the
bricks of Seaforiti'? "He bas
a special affeetion for'old chirri'-
neys - "the finishing touch and
they balance an old house."
Mr. Hinchley's concern about
the history of this area comes
from the long association of his
family with Seaforth, as well as
fro:n general interee': in On-
tario history. His grandfather
took up land Xom the Canada
Company near Kinburn and he
lived there as a boy,
‘,we set our clocks in Kinburn
by the factory whistle frOm the
Broadfoot and Box Furaituee
plate. In Seaforth",„he said, ""we
got our national, and world views
from the old Toronto Globe, which
came up on the train to Sea'orth
and was delivered with the mail
in Kinblrn by horse ael buegy.
We knew about the San Francisco
earthquake in 1906 by thieevening
after it happened when we got
our Globe."
Mr. Hinchley's father, Jim
moved the family to Roebero,
where they lived for a time in
the stone • house now °waled by
Sam Scott. They then moved
to James St. in Seaforth. Harry
Hinchley has a sal, a'sD narw d
Tim, who lives nekee Ottawa and
two grandchildren.
He would like to see the
schools take a greater interest
In educating you.le people about
the unique features of their own
area. "Going to Europe is fine'
he says "but what about: takin

Have you been offered a
"miracle" agricultural product
this year? Usually, the'sales-
man is a persuasive talker who
makes exaggerated claims for his
product. He preys on either
the economy-minded farmer'
looking for a simple, inexpensive
way to increase cropyields and
crop quality, or the organic"
materials.
The fertility quack is easy to
spot, says H.C. Lang, soils and
crops .specialist. Here are afew
tips:
He claims his product promotes
healthier soil bacteria and the
growth of earthworms ,which
eondition the soil and unleash
the nutrients already in it.
He will not guarantee the nitro-
gen, phosphorus or potassium
content of his product, thus
"sidestepping the Canada De-
partment of Agriculture Fdrti-"
lizer Act.
He offers no unbiased
research results to back up his
claims. Instead he points to
testimonials, usually from
farmers in the United States.
There is no way of knowing if
these observations are valid or
apply to local Ontario soil condi-
tions. When asked what the local
extension specialist thinks of
the product, the'quack will reply:
"Don't ask him. He probably
wouldn't knoi the value of our
product and' so wouldn't re-
commend it." Ontario farmers have
versities and colleges, saying:'
"They won't test our product."

TODAY'S CHILD
HELEN ALLEN
HE'S CHEERFUL AND HEALTHY
Ricky is shy with strangers but managed to muster up a
little smile for the photographer. Among people he knows
he is cheerful .and contented, usually easy going and with
just an occasional outburst of temper when things don't
go his way.
Ricky is four, Anglo-Saxon in origin. Short and stocky,
he has light brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin.'
Ricky's health is good, with only the odd attack of tonsil-
iti4 to bother him. He is active in play, loves to dance and
manages to invent satisfying games for himself when no-
body else is around. •
Ricky always watches Sesame Street and enjoys TV car-
toons. He plays a good deal with small cars, making the
appropriate sounds.
Though he's a sturdy boy, Ricky's mental development
is behind the average for his age and he will need special
education.
It is hoped an adopting family will be found where Ricky
will find loving warmth and where he will be able to develop
at his own pace.
To inquire about adopting Ricky, please write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2112. For general
artvtion information; please contact your local Children's
Aid Society.
