Clinton News-Record, 1963-07-25, Page 9A wedding trip to Northern Ontario followed the marriage of Harry H. Guetter, Toronto, and Joan Boodt, a native of Bothwell Clan Eats Too Much By Fred Sloman The fifth annual Rathwell picnic was held on Sunday, July 21 at Seaforth Lions Park, At- tendance was 39 members and two guests, Toni Lynd, Toronto, and Stella Sleeper, Detroit. The new slate of officers for 1963-64 activities appointed as: president, Harvey Stewart, Lon- don; vice-president, Orm Mof- fatt, Toronto; secretary, Eleanor McAsh, Varna; treasurer, D'Arcy Rathwell, Brucefield; tea committee, Vio- let Homer, Seaforth; Edna Stewart, Clinton; Helen Rath- well, Bayfield. Messages of regret were re- ceived from key members, Earve Stewart, Victoria, Hospi- tal, London; Ruth Plumsteel, Seaforth; and Ben and Mamie Rathwell, oldest members, Bay- field, who were unable to at- tend. But, each assured us that their respective doctors were doing a good job, In absence of these key of- ficers, Laurence Plumsteel, Sea- forth, was conscripted without much notice to carry the load for several and did an excellent job. Park officials are to be com- mended for their courtesy and co-operation, but their excel- lent recreation facilities play havoc with prepared program of sports committee. All small folk of the Rath- well Clan wanted to be in the pool and all of the clan who might have Won a prize for having the most gray hairs or for the best pair of dish-pan hands, seemed to enjoy stand- ing outside the mesh fence and admiring the limbs of the Greek-statue-like boys on the diving boards. There were also some girls diving for any who like such things. Only two regrettable facts of the day to report . . . first that there was too much to eat, and second, and more serious, is that it was eaten. Family doc- tors and gastric specialists should have reason to clap their hands in glee. Guest-book custodian reports that she needs ,more pages in- dexed "R" for Rathwell names. Reports also that some indexed pages have no names at all yet. It is suggested that honorary membership and free meal be given to youths not of the Clan yet, but whose surnames begin with initial E, Nf Q, U, X or Z in effort to make indexed guest book use all its pages. Suggestion received enthus- iastically by table of senior teen-agers (female) and by f a t h e r s with marriageable daughters, No action taken. Youngest member present was Brenda Miller, Londesboro, age three months. None of the other girls present .seemed to be over age 35 or 36, so prize for eldest was withheld until next reunion, ASK YOUR FRIENDS AND THEYil ADVISE, DEAL WITH THEM BE BUDGET WISE at Mr.Eifrirs. s $,WISE "Why not get out from under your troubles by using the Classified Pages of The Clinton News- Record."

Perth County has an enviable record in the progress they have shown, in development of the FAME project. Perth far- mers have invested a few thou- sand dollars more than their quota in share sales with a to- tal of something over 3115,00a presently invested in share cap- ital.

On July 22, Huron County held 4 shareholders meeting for the same purpose with an en- couraging number attending, Alex McGregor, chairman, pre- sided. In a project of this kind there are a great many problems to be overcome. First, there is the problem of Sites for the plants, These have to be located so that transportation of livestock to the plant •and distribution of product from the plant can be done most economically. Then suitable soil condition, water supply, and satisfactory sewage disposal conditions must be supplied in one spot. The most effiient plant de- sign must be agreed on and transferred to working blue prints for the contractor. All these problems and many others, have been satisfactorily solved. I am happy to report that the board is now faced with only one problem in getting construction started. Money! This of course is a problem that has been getting continu- ing attention all through the development of the project and is being successfully met, There has been criticism of the Provincial Board from time to time for the lack of action in starting to build. We have continually met far- mers during our share sales drives who stated they would immediately purchase not a hundred dollar share but five TUCKERSMITH MUNICIPAL DUMP Will be Open Until Further Notice on Wednesday and Sat. Afternoons from 1 to 5.30 p.m. No Wire Fencing, Old Con- crete or Car Bodies Permitted. J. I. McINTOSH Clerk 14tfb or even ten if we e0414 ohlY show them that Construction had started. Whether this was a reason or only an excuse re.- mains to be seen. But how eoUld a responsible board. Of direetOrs start Oa- struetion, until the money was available? Could we expect a 'contractor to Start such a, large projeet on premises? Not ,many of us would carry on our own business in this fashion. However the board was just as anxious to get going as any producer and approaches were made to financial organizations for funds to speed up construc- tion. We are meeting with some success but here again there is hesitation. How many farmers would sell their farms with $500 down payMent and a 30 or 40 year mortgage? I can't be critical of these people. Remember they want to lend their money but they also .want to get it back. We look at the thousands of farmers who, with at least some sacrifice, have invested $100 in a share and offer this as 4 proof of good faith and security which it certainly is. On the other hand, to men with $100,000 to a million to invest, a hundred dollars is the kind of money they might bet on a friend's race horse. Not as an investment but simply a slight token of friendship. Where does FAME stand at the moment? 'Negotiations are presently being carried on for outside capita If successful,. ,eonstrue. tion ,could start at If this does not .happen And FAME is forced to rely on the :mow invested by producers, we will have to wait a While longer. The debenture sales campaign IS .only starting but to date we have been, amazed at the good results. • If this trend continues I feel that it would be safe to say that construction will start by september L But please 'rem- ember that neither I nor any member of the board has. the the answer to this question that is being RI urgently asked, It is you, the shareholder, who must give the answer to your board, Paring the next three er four weeks you will have the oppor- tunity to purchase debentures, If you buy you will do three things. First, you will be making a sound and Profitable invest- merit, Second, you will be supply. ing necessary capital to =IV out the project, Third, you will be building the Confidence necessary in fin- ancial organizations who are hoping to lend you money to carry out the full program, If yon don't buy you will be telling your board that you do- n't want the FAIVME plants to get into operation till a much later date. When will construc- tion begin? The answer is yours. Huron FAME ,sharehold- ers are going to play a mighty- part in answering this question during the next few weeks .$iimmerhill. -Club Enjoys 'Outing,' Donates .July- 4$4, 110.4,cilinton .News-.Rpcoroi...„ Page 9 ,A Matter of MY 41 .CARP..
