BOW, 0. Strong Recently Ow writer chanced upon a memorial • volume of verses, the work of Mary E. McCullough, an Eastern Ontario • poetess who died at the early age of twenty-seven. She had power to capture her thoughts in expressive imagery and pin them down . with words of sharp emotional content. Despite minor defects rising mostly from youth and impatience with the discipline imposed by language and verse form, her poems awakened memories of my youthful days back home. In very truth, the farm was a place far removed from the seethings and tensions of the market place. She wrote,. "I hanker for the smell of moist brown soil, 'The blur of leafing maples in the gloom.. The plaintive calf of killdeer through the rain. I long to see the clover-field in bloom,. I ache to watch the spring-time come again In that small, -part of Canada I know. E'eh now I see the swallow wheeling low O'er the shining meadows; springing grass'''. Is soft and green; and by the orchard gate, White, petals brush the cheeks of all who pass." Small streams born of highland springs come singing down the hillside running full in their narrow beds, falling over stoney ledges into shallow pools where white froth makes a picture in the sun. Brooks tumble seaward and, where the current eases, ripples play- around flat stones often forded by a country urchin on Mischief bent. There is joy in the • singing waters. On a warm spring day one loved to stand by the hurrying stream and listen to its joyous spell. Its music blended with the spirit of the season. - On a mild, mellow, sun-bright day, after the Seeding was done and before the cattle were put out Program 130 (formerly S.W.E. E.P.) at the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority will include 33 local students working at various environmental enhance- ment projects within the Maitland watersheeThe format of this year's program at M.V.C.A. has been changed somewhat from the past, in that the summer staff will be working directly under the supervision of the regular Authority field staff. Work projects for 7 crews (located at the Falls Reserve C.A., Wawanosh Valley C.A., Galbraith C.A., and Brussels C.A.) will thus be assigned and co-ordinated by' the Authority Superintendent, Graham Jackson. The Senior Supervisor's position for this year has been filled by Rob Kelp of Formosa. In addition to conducting the Authority's regular Information and Education program, Rob will be responsible for co-ordtnating the administrative aspects Of the summer program. Blake Ferguson of Gorrie will act as this year's senior technician. A- 25 year wildlife management plan for the Wawanosh Valley C.A., vegetative inventories and drainage mapping for the watershed , are some of the projects in which Blake will be involved. Ann Dalton of Goderich will be to pasture, fathers set out-to check the rail fences. It was traditional for farmers to walk their boundaries together, each on his own side to make certain that the . fences were in good repair for the season. They believed in the truth of the old adage, "Good boundaries make good neighbours." In certain .fields,' Men' and boys long years ago piled stones to form fence bottoms as they made a farm in the wilderness. Frost top led 'the uppermost stones an each spring they had to be repl ced. It was not an unpleasant tas on a sunny day when one could take time to see and hear nature at work too.' Often his wanderings took him to the woodlot where maples and elms, beeches and oaks formed cathedral arches through whose .leafy canopy the warm sun filtered. The shadowed evergreen grove was a peaceful sanctuary 'where one could recharge the batteries of the heart. Among the more significant phenomena of our era is the disappearance of walking as a form of locomotion except on such occasions when some organization sponsors a walkathon. In event you have forgotten, walking is a process of placing one foot ahead of the .other for the purpose of moving towards some objective. Mr. Webster's definition, "to Proceed without running, to move or go on foot for exercise or amusement,'" is applicable to one who knows the joy of walking, Spring makes for walking weather. After dawn and before sunset her warm hand blesses the countryside. Walking to school and walking home again wereparts of the day the young country citizen apparently enjoyed. 'There are those who look back over the years and remember the fun of walking, when a mile or two did not loom as a heavy task. Along hundreds of country roads, boys And girls with lard pail for lunch bucket trudged in sunshine and in rain, lookin gupon it as a normal part of living. There, was always applying knowledge' gained through her four years in the geography program at Wilfred Laurier University, as she completes infra-red mapping -and analysis, updating . of map information from 1975 air photographs, and designing a revised watershed map. John Elliott of Brussels; the third program technician, will be involved with historical studies of the , Brussels and GOrrie Mills, design plans for interior . renovations of the Authority display unit, and assisting with the program's information and municipal work projects. The clerical work for the Program will be done by Mary Lou Mazer, a third year student of Resources Management at the University of Guelph. The 1976 program is structured so that technical and supervisory 'jobs are for a period of 14 weeks, 14 post-secondary subforeman and labourers will work for 13 weeks, and 14 secondary school students will be 'employed for 7 weeks. Students employed as subforeman for this year include Pam Graul of Gadshill, Marilynne Wise of Clinton, Rob Weeks of Listowel , Heather Jewell of Goderich, Kathy Fines of Bluevale, Candace Kidd of Atwood and Brenda Johnston of Belgrave. The regional safety and Something new to see if one had the dine.; buttercups in the shallow ditches, dandelions fringing the dusty road, blue iris in the limpid stream waving handsome flags, wind-torn cat-tail heads standing among lithe sedges and fronded ferns, violets and wild strawberry blooms. In the morning song sparrows tossed their calls to all and sundry. Barn swallows swooped and swirled. Breezes swept across the meadows to cause ripples to run before the wind like green waves. Hedgerows were filled with the fluttering of young birds. The " anxious calls of the robin were heard as her young tumbled from their nest and awaited their parents' return with food for breakfast. Young pheasants' followed their mother around field edges. Wild whistling blackbirds with scarlet epaulets circled, before coming to, rest , among the pussy-willows and swaying reeds. The tapping of a woodpecker on a resonant dead limb accentuated the peasefulness. Blue jays bugled across the countryside. On a breezy day the telephone wires strung on grey, weathering poles sang a haunting song. On his way home, a fellow could often take' time to explore the woodchuck's hole, to check on that big, black snake that lived by the culvert or peer through the floor boards of the bridge over the creek to see if that big trout was still there or just, listen to the frogs' melody. But many children don't walk to school anymore. An aging male watching a big, yellow bus go by wishes that boys and girls could know the fun he had half a century ago and more as he walked a country road, barefooted, with white dust puffing to his knees. At the end of, a busy work-day, a quiet evening was a time much to be relished. It was good to sit in the old rocker on' the front veranda or back-porch and absorb the peaceful serenity , of the occasion. Many of the sounds of the day had faded, The sunset painted a lustrous picture in the da western sky. All-too soon shiclOwS, inched.,ther way down front the slopes to bivoucac in.the hollows. The flaming colours changed ..to pastel shades of greys and 'Wes, Pinks and Purples. During this interlude hetween day and night there was something that relzed the tensions of the day's' activities.. Chimney swifts staged • their evening aerial circus while fire-flies danced a dot and dash ballet. From the orchard behind the house the robin's evening song seemed to blend with the • spirit of the coming darkness. Atop the garden fence, a whip- poor-will suddenly began tossing his calls into the dolt. A dog. barked across the field. Cow-bells from the night pasture made m ournful sounds. In'the village, the church bell tolled its unhurried notes that carried far. At length he lifted tired eyes to watch the darkness deepen and slowly he withdrew to the wholesomeness of the lamp-lit kitchen. How many remember the staccato rattling of the grey, weathered, wooden planks in the old bridge over the cree? Remember the sound of the wood -sawing gasoline engine as farmers worked up the woodpile in the back yard? Remember the old cherry, kitchen table where you as a young gaffer turned the crank of the cedar churn and listened for the clunking, monotonous sound that meant that the butter had finally come? How many recall the lusty crowing of bold chanticleer, the impatient whinny of the horses as you opened the stable door, the squealing of the pigs awaiting breakfast or bawling calves at milking-time? Gone are many of the voices that were part of the great _symphony of yesteryears, The Correspondent - ' Mrs. John Templeman Hibbert United Church held their w anniversary. service on Sunday, June 6, with Rev. Grant Dowson from the Kirkton- VVoodham charge . as guest speaker. Hibbert Community' young people met Sunday evening in the Family Life Center.

PerSonale Mr. and Mrs. John Templeman were recent dinner guests of, Mr. and Mrs. James Neilson, Stratford., rauscous hoot of the diesel blaSts the peaceful air instead of the long, lonesome,sounciing whistle of the steam locomotive echoing from the hill and spreading across the field. The sharp, impatient • honk of the auto horn has displaced the friendly greetings of men passing each other with horse and buggy. City bound folk miss the mystery of meteor showers. In the vast astral spaces of our universe,. the shooting stars - pieces of metal or rock-hurtle through far places to burn out as they plunge into the upper layer of our atmosphere. One longs to go out on a quiet; peaceful, starry evening to watch these celestial fire-works. Rine is the story-book month when days grow longer and are filled to overflowing with happy moments. children burst with energy.and laughter. Plants grow tall and green, roses unfurl their petals right before their eyes and polka-dot strawberries, plump and rosy,_" taste sweeter than• they've ever done before After each rain, watch for the rainbow. Many recall the words of Lowell who wrote, "What is so rare as a day in June?' Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then heaven tries earth-if it be in tune And over it softly her warm ear lays: Whether we look, or whether We hear life murmur or see it glisten; Every clod feels a stir of might, An ,instinct 'within it that reaches and towers, And groping blindly above It for light, Climbs to, a soul in grass and flowers."
