CLINTON tiEWS-RECOSID, THURSDAY, JANUARY City girl adjusts to farm life The following story. ap- peered in the January fourth edition of Western On tario For, mer and shows Clinton and district residents that there are some talented people 'in our midst. The story ghoul. Alison Lobb, of R.R. 2 Clinton ap- peared in the Family Farm Sec- tion, By Dorca •Ballantyne Brought up in Toronto and very much a city girl, Alison Lobb of R.R. 2, Clinton, had a refreshing point of view about a city girl who became a farmer's wife. "When I started out on the farm I was completely ignorant," she said, "I came from a family that had a good steady source of income, and where there were no job in- security problems. Coming to a farm where the weather has so much to do with your income, I had to learn to adjust to that phase much more than the people and the work." Looking back on the tran- sition, Alison said she felt people in the city assumed that farmers had a lower standard of living, and when you first come to a farm you accept this, It took a while. o find out their living standards aren't all that different, and you also learn to admire farmers business ability. In the country, too, she ad- ded, they have beautiful scenery, and wonderful places to walk, and they can go canoeing down the Maitland River in the spring. "A very important thing when you have a family," she went on, "is that you can teach children responsibility on a farm, which is so much more difficult for parents to do in the city." "I also came to the farm with no previous working background. When I was 17 I had finished grade 13. Then I went to the Veterinary College for a year, where I met my husband Donald, and we were married. At 19 I had my first child; at 21 I had two children, and three years later I had my third child. My boys are now 10, 8 and 5," After she had been married for a year and had one child she decided she wanted to resume her education. That year university courses were being offered in Clinton so she enrolled for the year. At the end of that . time she had decided she wanted, to get her B.A. in economics and switched to summer courses at the University of Western Ontario in London. It took her three years of summer courses to get her degree. "One of the reasons I wanted to get my B.A. at this time," Alison said, "is because my children will be grown up while I'm still young. And it's rather difficult for a woman to find something to do when her children are grown up and away. This way, I hope to be able to do something with my work." For the past two school years she has been teaching two days a week at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. Her subjects are taxation and ac- counting. Most of her students are in the 18 to 20 year old age group, and she says she enjoys teaching because the students are interested and are there because they want to learn. She has about 45 students in her classes, and said she couldn't teach that large a number if they weren't high school students and very keen about their studies. Brought up in a teacher- oriented family where her father; brother-in-law, grand- mother and grandfather were all teachers, "she feels she was always interested in teaching. At this stage, though she isn't sure that she would want to make it a fulltime career, Three years ago their home was completely burned down, and they were left with just the clothes they were wearing. They moved into their present house, which had been standing vacant on their property, and they started over again from scratch. A furnace had to be in- stalled and a well drilled im- mediately. Everything had to be ripped out of the inside of the house and rebuilt, and bit by bit they got going again. Now their three farms make up 270 acres, with their main crops in cash farming. They also have some swine. Alison doesn't do much out- side work. They are on„ com- puter bookkeeping so she-does all the book work and makes out the income tax paper,s,. In the summer she occasionally fills in on the tractor "but because she is not mechanically minded; she is not too en- thusiastic about that end of it. Although the London virus — a new flu bug akin to the Hong Kong variety — is sup- posed to be invading the area, Dr, Frank Mills, Huron County Medical Officer of Health says he has no way of knowing how many cases of flu there are presently in Huron or whether they are caused by the London virus. January has traditionally been flu month in this part of Ontario and Dr. Mills will not have any statistics about it un- til probably the end of January - or maybe later, I tut filtei'4, no question the virus—cold and flu season is here. The new London flu is one concern. It is an A-type of in- fluenza like Hong Kong flu, which was blamed for killing 27,900 in the United States in 1968-69 and making hundreds of thousands throughout North America memorably sick. It cannot yet be predicted how widespread London flu will be this year, says a spokesman for the Centre for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga. Possibly, he adds, a major part of the population already has some immunity from prior flu About four years ago she decided to find out if she could write. She got a book from the library, read it, decided on the format and wrote it in three weeks. Her second book took about six weeks to write. Her first book went to an American publishing house and was ac- cepted, The second book was also accepted by another American publisher. Both were juvenile romances, written„ she said, because she is a roman- ticist and doesn't want to deal with reality other than in every day living. Only someone who has fried to get a book published, or tried to break into the free lance writing market can appreciate what it means to have two books accepted with no reject tion and no returns, Writing is her hobby and she spends her extra time at it. She has been working on the Lobb family history for the last couple of years, and has been involved in a great deal of research. Her mother-in-law• was researching her side of the family, so Alison decided she would start on the Lobb family; and there is quite a community of them around Clinton. Alison also finds time to be the treasurer of St. Paul's Anglican Church in Clinton, and superintendent of the Sun- day School Fortunately, she likes cooking, having family parties and get-togethers. With large families on both sides this means preparing food for as many as 20 or more people. viruses. The currently available flu vaccine should offer some protection against the new strain, he thinks. The flu virus presents many mysteries, including puz- zlement over how new strains appear. When a different 'one comes along, previous vaccines usually don't work against it. Some new Chinese-American co-operation is exploring some of the problems. Dr. Robert Webster of Memphis, Tenn., visited China last fall and'' returned with samples of virus that caused flu outbreaks ir" 1957'gfid -1971`.'' He ribwrIVP growing those viruses in' his laboratory. There are two theorieS as to how a new strain or mutant ap- pears. A new strain can be lethal. A worldwide flu epidemic in 1918 is estemated to- have killed.; some 21 million people. Asian flu in 1957 . was wicked and deadly, as was Hong Kong flu some 10 years later. Understanding how the new strains originate might increase the chances of preparing vac- cines for defence when a deadly new strain did appear, Webster said.
