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,

this as in their share sales

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

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.

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
