Meredith Robb, Junior Far
mer of “Robbdale Farm”, Ild-
erton, described' 'the overseas
tour that was made possible
through government travelling
■scholarships,' in which he par
ticipated in 1966, along with
■one representative of each of
the counties of Waterloo, Grey
and Algoma, and chaperones.
Flying first, to London, the
tour,, showed a few modest sky
scrapers, touched such notable
places as Westminster Abbey,
Whitehall,’ the former Royal
Palace, Petticoat Lane, and the
half-timbered buildings; Hyde
Park and the speakers’ corner,,
and even the old landmark.
Dirty pick Saloon.
Even with (ten sudden rain
storms the day they arrived to
Belfast, Ireland, was lovely
with its hills and colleens, and.
its good way of life. In this
area near the; east coast,' farms

does for fences, although farm
ing is very highly mechanized
on these datry farms. A yield
of 1,000 lbs. pf milk fipni the
Fresian cattle is considered
satisfactory. The homes are
small, perhaps well oyer 100
years old, but do not lack for
comfort or cleanliness, Pictur
esque thatch is being replaced
by tile roofing. A thatched roof
can be repaired1 and At lasts
about ten years.' ’ -

of traffic waiting patiently be
hind a herd of cattle, homeward
bound, on tHe main thorough
fare; and in the traffic officers’'
hospitality , towards strangers. Again, the hospitality in South
ern Ireland (where home rule was established in 1921) is in
deed warm.
The Balmoral Show proved
to be purely exhibition, and
little need to spend money. Ex
hibits includ'ed a fast sheepr
shearing contest (55 seconds,
the record), displays pf handi
craft and flowers, heavy, road
equipment, horse shows, a para
trooper landing on, target for diversity, to mentib'n some.
. Where stone removal has
been - necessary, dry - stone

A criminal or civil action, or specialized legal
counsel might cost more than you can afford.
Yet justice may depend on both.
inability to pay a lawyer is one of the last
remaining obstacles to justice within the law.
This is no longer a problem in Ontario.
On March 29, 1967, a new legal assistance act
becaihe effective in Ontario. It guarantees that
no resident Of this province’shall be denied his
Icgril rights because of the lack Of money.
/
You choose your own lawyer.
You make application to him or your area
director. Then a decision is made as to what
portion of the legal costs, if any, you can pay.
The difference is made up from the legal assistance
fund' provided by the Government of Ontario.
The plan is administered by The Law Society
of Upper Canada.
Neither the court not the public knows you
have received legal assistance, It is a private
affair between yoii and your lawyer.
This is the most advanced Solution in the world
to the problem of legal assistance.
And its purpose is to render justice to every man
under the law.
The thw Society Of Upper Canada.
