Win Labatt Trophy
Thedford Lumberjacks were
presented with the John Labatt'
trophy, for winning the Lambton-
Mlddlesex Intermediate hockey
championship at a banquet at the
Brenner Hotel in Grand Bend
last night. Mac Molloy, manager
of the Thedford team accepted
the trophy on behalf of his mates
from R. E. “Slim” Stewart, John
Labatt representative. Two other
cups were presented. Parkhill
won the junior trophy and Bob
Rowlings .won the prize for be
ing the outstanding goalie in the
intermediate loop. Notables at
tending the feast were: Hugh
Hawkins, of Clinton, second vice-
president of the W.O.A.A.; How
ard Brown, secretary-treasurer of
the league; Mac Molloy, manager
of the Lumberjacks; .Gord Elson,
president of the Lambton-Middle-
sex and ,R. E. Stewart, of Lon

(The following report of re
claimed marshland at Grand
Bend appears in The London
Free Press, written by James
Bowes.)
Three years ago, some of his
neighbours in the Delhi tobacco
belt told Gerard Vandenbussche,
“It’ll nevex* -work; youTe throw
ing youx1 money away.’’
Today the Belgian farmer
toured a thousand - acre tract near Grand Bend, wa’tching the
smoke curl up* from the chim
neys of a dozen homes, exchang
ing pleasantries, sometimes in
Flemish, with the men in the
fields, and grinning at each
fresh-cheeked youngster he
passed.
“Maybe it is throwing money
away,’’ he said reflectively, “but
it’s an experiment that is .bring
ing other kinds of returns.”
Struggles Remembered
Twenty-four years ago,
stocky, 57-year-old farmex’
rived in 'Canada as an immigrant,
He has not forgotten
struggles.
In fact, it has been
ory of his long, hard
success that has inspired a pri
vate immigration and rehabilita
tion scheme which has already
settled eleven Dutch and Belgian
families on the rich garden land,
and will ultimately -bring out a
score more.
In cold, hard cash, Venden-
bussche has already tossed $70,-
000 into his project, and he
figured the scheme will gobble
up $20,000 more this year.
Canada Wonderful
But, if you keep books in
terms of human relations, this
one-time immigrant has piled up
a fortune on liis investment.
“Canada, it’s wonderful.” That
is the unanimous comment of
the settlers from the -Old World
who have felt the touch of Ven-
denbussche’s magic wand, and
overnight become land owners
earning $5,000 a yeax’ or better.
The story of one man’s idea to
help his neighbours in the most
practical way he knew goes
back to 1946.
Then a successful tobacco
farmer in the Delhi area, Van
denbussche heard from a friend
of a fabulous marshland hidden
behind a strip of trees and
wasteland along the Blue Water
Highway, a mile south of Grand
Bend.
“The land had never been
broken,” he said in his flawless
English, “but I bought it, all
thousand acres of it. It sounded
good for my plan.”
Like Holland Marslvr
Convinced -the land could grow
garden produce to equal any
thing in the Holland Marsh
areas, north of Toronto, or the
Leamington district, Vandenbus
sche decided to specialize in
garden crops.
The first settlers arrived soon
aftei* -the war. Vandenbussche’s
proposition was simple: Help me
break the land and you -can
up to 25 acres at cost.
"The way they worked,”
marvelled. “So far, we have
acres cleared and -200 acres have
gone to
helped to
crops.”
Most of
now own
down payment on it from . the
wages they earned in the first
year or two on the huge farm.
Much of the .material that went
into theix* homes, and their ma
chinery were purchased oxx notes
Vandenbussche backed at the
bank. ,
“If a man is willing to work
hard and shows that he can man
age his owix business, I give him
‘pretty easy terms,’’ 11$ said.
Drainage Ditches
It has cost the ex -Tobacco
farmer a fortune .to ready the
land fox' farming. Drainage dit

lands with pumps spaced at

climb to
strategic intervals to ppeed tlw

Machinery to mine the land of
its rich crops has accounted fox*
another- huge expenditui'e. The
new Canadians, incidentally,*’
make use of the equipment on
theix" own land when they need
it,
Vandenbussche estimates , that
800 acres of his huge tract will
be suitable for garden produce,
He intends to reserve 50 of those
acres for himself—the rest
go to the settlers as they
them- w
The transformation this
man has "worked in three years is
probably best shown by the re
cords of the little frame school
house on the fringe .of the vast
tract.
In 1946, seven puils were en
rolled. Today, 30 pupils jam the
school’s .single classroom.
“I’ve told the school board
they might as well (build a new
schoo 1,’’ said Vandenbussche
cheex-fully, “In a couple of years,
there will be double that number
of pupils.”

Many Spiders, One Poisonous
There, are many different spec
ies of spiders found in gardens,
fields and around buildings hi
-Canada. They * vary greatly in
colour, size and appearance, and
only one is poisonous, the black
widow found in Alberta. The
black widow is a shiny, coal
black spider with a red or orange
“hour-glass” m a r k 1 n g on the
underside, Occasionally, taran
tula or banana spiders reach
these shores in shipments from
tropical or semi-tropical regions,
but they do not survive in the
Canadian climate.
Practically all spiders in Can
ada are perfectly harmless, and
are actually beneficial .because
they destroy insects in large
numbers. The webs may become
a nuisance — depending upon
where they are —- and often all
that is necessary is to stveep
them away. But a little forbear
ance with spiders is not out of
place, because of the number of
harmful Insects they destroy.
This is particularly true of the
common housefly, a carrier of
many human diseases, which Is
an appetizing morsel for most
spiders,
