' In 1966, there were 25 4-H Agricultural Clubs with 56 Leaders in Huron County. Mi’. Joihn Clark, RR 5, Godehich is chairman of the 4-H Leaders Association. "A World oi Food in Canada” is the project chosen by Huron 4-H Homemaking Clubs for Spring, 1967. Four two-day Training Schools for the local leaders are being held on Jan­ uary 26, 27 in Clinton (Ontario Street United Church); January 30 and 31 in Wroxeter (Com­ munity Hall); February 2 and 3 (Hensall United Church); and . February 6 and 7 (Wingham St. Andrew’s' Presbyterian Chtirch). The schools begin at 10 a.m. and finish at 4:00 p.m. In • this Centennial project, says Sharon Carroll, Home Economist for Huron County, the girls will study the tradi­ tional food, practices of various cultural groups- in Canada and develop an appreciation of how such practices are gradually establishing a truly Canadian pattern of eating. A look at. food preparation .in the early days of Canada as well as brief "armchair” -visits to the countries from which . Canadians have come, will be given. This is an excellent way for the 4-H Homemiakdng Club girls to celebrate the Centennial year. The TuckersmitK.

Moody has come up With another poem which could be called an “Ode to the .Pioneer” which we are pleased to print here. THE P8ONEER In this land, long years gone by, . . There stood in timber ’neath azure sky, A tall, lean man, and he was strong, Heard wild birds sing their lovely song; The earth was sweet, moist to touch, But what was cleared, was not much, The timber covered quite- a span, So he became a true woodsman. And so our man stripped to his waist, Took up his 'axe, and then with haste, He cut his timber, piled it neat, Kept good logs, used rest for heat: He then took adze and saw in hand, To build a house on this piece of land, He built of.spruce, tamarack and fir, . For he now became a carpenter. There was much work, yet ahead, ■ - For rocks were many on his homestead, With brawny back he moved each one, Till finally this job was done; Then with sand and moistened clay, He'shaped a building which would stay, Mixed with stones,- then baked in sun, i This man was now a mason. His home was built, and also barn, To keep him and his, from nature’s harm, A good supply of'fur 'and food, • t And plenty of good dry firewood; His crops were in, and doing fine, Grain tops browning in warm sunshine, With a lovely wife to keep him warmer, And now our man became a farmer. ti^e same time contracts were made with the Crown Assets Disposal Corporation in Ottawa, which has taken it over, with a view to obtaining ap option on the property. While these negotiations for an option were continuing, thp Ontario Devel­ opment Corpoiiaiti'Qn was auth­ orized to engage a firm of con­ sultants to prepare a compre­ hensive and deijaliied. report on potential uses for the base, pie firm of Stevenson and Kellogg was engaged and the studies were commenced even before formal completion of negotiar tions with the Crown Assets Disposal Corporation. • The feasibility study will show if there is, a reasonable basis' for establishing an indus­ trial park at ‘Centralia. The Ontario Department of.Agricul­ ture and Food' is also consider­ ing using part of the base for agricultural research purposes. "The study being undertaken by ODC will seek to establish whether or not existing facilit­ ies can reasonably be adapted for business and commercial purposes and the effect that such a project might have on the local economy,” Mir. Randall said. . , f He said a number of enquiries have already been received for the rental of hangars and other buildings at the base. However,, experience in both Canada and the United States has shown conclusively that there are' wide variations to the potential uses of such bases, depending upon location, size, age of structures, cost of maintenance, and a variety of other factors, s'aid Mr. Randall. He said that only last week he had sent experts from* the Ontario Development Corpora­ tion to study first-hand de­ activated military air bases in the United States. They report­ ed that many abandoned air fields are being used for civilian and private flying operations. At .one of these bases the num­ ber of private planes using its facilities increased to 130 from 17 over a two-year’- period. An increasing use is being made of these bases by business execu-, fives.. 1 . The study is expected to be completed by early spring.
