No-one can accuse Jean Dra­ peau of not being proud of his province or not being aware of /‘the French fact”, yet he was never in doubt about the proper protocol of state visits. When de Gaulle visited his city hall the flags of Canada, France* and Quebec were in proper order, press accreditation was recognized according to pre. Viously established Centennial planning. There was no doubt that the French president was Visiting the city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec in the country of Canada, Mayor Drapeau’s name has popped up occasionally as a potential candidate for the Con. servative Party national lead, ership. It will no doubt pop up even more now. Certainly a lot of people will be think.* ing he could be of valuable ser. vice, to Canada at the national level. Prime Minister Pearson em. erged from the furor unscathed. Most people, at least those without any antl-Liberal axe to grind, will agree he handled the situation in satisfactory diplo. matic style. Speculation will wander in. numerable paths for a good long time to come,trying to find just what was back of it all. Wheth- Where’s the fun in haying today?

The refusal of federal auti> orities to sell France uranium without the childish attempt to put op restrictions for its use may have soured the old war­ horse against the Canadian gov- ernment. Having found an alter­ native source of uranium in South Africa he may have de­ cided to tweak the Canadian nose and, to use the vernacu­ lar, “raise a little hell.’’ De Gaulle is no stranger to criticism and he will not likely be dismayed by the flood of protest from newspapers around the world. He will real, ize that much of it, especially that from Britain, the United States and opposition papers at home, was not so much in defence of injured Canada, but just another stick with which to whack an old enemy. Canadian criticism of de . Gaulle, which was genuine, was tempered by the fact that the French leader will not likely be around much longer and also by the realization that he has given France a degree of stab, ility of administration that was desperately needed. De Gaulle’s interference in Canadian political affairs may have loosed the vocal chords of the separatists, but it also drew out the statesmanship of thoughtful men like Mayor Dra­ peau. In a stand up fight be. tween the Gilles Gregoires and the Jean Drapeaus there is not much doubt about where the majority of Quebec support lies. SNELL MacDONALD 'V Mr, and Mrs. Clifford Walter Snell exchanged wedding vows in Blyth United Church recently before Rev. W. O. Mather. The bride is the former Beverley Maxie MacDonald, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.- Kenneth MacDonald, R, R. 1 Blyth. Mr, and Mrs, Alvin Snell, Blyth, are the parents of the groom. The young couple took up residence in Blyth following their wedding trip. (continued from page 6) of fodder consisting of equal parts of grass and legumes. Behind the baler, standing on the plywood skid, was John’s son, Elmer, who was piling bales as thev came from the baler chute. When a pile of about seven bales was built on the skid, the . Sanderson youth pushed them off and they were left sitting in a neat pile which for­ med an orderly row of stooks around the field. Sanderson explained they use this method of handling bales only if the hay wasn’t cured or dry enough to be loaded right onto the wagon from the baler. Efficient and time-saving as they, are, the modern baling machinery and handling me­ thods seem to have lost .some- thing of the rustic and past­ oral charm that one customs- arily associated with this phase of farm life. Gone is the strong, powerful team, which pulled the wagon and hay-loader a a slow, leisurely gait. No longer does one enjoy the heady aroma and flavour of clover blossoms. Balers compress the legumes so tightly now that no plea, sant aroma fills the air.

BOARD MEETS At a board meetinglastTues- ■ day evening, members awarded the fuel oil contract to Ster­ ling Fuels of London for 9,'51 cents per Imperial gallon ac­ cording to the board’s speci­ fications. $15,360 Tax Refunded Members of Central Huron Secondary School board were pleasantly surprised last week to receive a cheque in the amount of $15,360 repre­ senting part payment of a sales”'. tax rebate on the materials used in the 1967 and 1963 additions' to the plant. Business administrator at the school, L. R. Maloney, seized the opportunity to remind the board that while there are out­ standing debentures on the old structure, there are none on the last two additions for which the tax rebate was made. Smiles were undoubtedly broad on the faces of usually money-pressed board members who will be thoroughly deligh­ ted to pass this glad infor­ mation on to the taxpayers they represent. Winter Wheat Crop Poor Quality—OWPMB Rain, high humidity and gen. ; erally poor harvesting weather have reduced the possibility of ; a good quality winter wheat crop in Ontario, says the On. tario Wheat Producers’Mark­ eting Board. Many areas in the early har­ vest area of Essex, Kent and Lambton have experienced sev­ ere rain storms and continuing high humidity during the past two weeks, causing wheat to sprout in several areas. Wheat harvested last week in Amherstburg-Harrow areas in Essex, although fairly good in test weight, contained as high as 3.5% sprouts resulting in down grading to grade No. 3 and a 3 cent per bushel loss to producers. Officials of the Board in Chatham advise the over, all quality has not been as good as earlier anticipated and wet weather has caused har­ vest operations to move very slowly. • Wheat is being sold by pro. ducers at the minimum (floor price) of $1.80 per bushel for grade No. 1 and No. 2, and $1.77 for grade No. 3, less board deductions of 18 cents per bushel. Officials of the marketing board said dealers are finding It difficult to sell early har­ vested wheat to the milling trade and have directed over 300,000 bushels to the board for disposal. Mr. Otis Mo- Gregor, assistant secretary- There were four tenders sub. mltted in all including British Petroleum of Canadt, London; Sunoco, Brucefield; and British American, Toronto* Page andS teeele have advised the board that the sketch plans tor the proposed new green house at the school are ready , and th© work plans should be available by August 31, No de­ bentures w|lj be necessary on toe work if approved, and money will come from toe general fund.

One hundred pair of boob-type roller skates Jfiave been purchased in Kit­ chener and just as soon as " final preparations are made, the first evening of skating will be enjoyed. , The 80 by 180-foot floor in • the arena segment of the new building is cover,eci with three- eighths of an inch of taprock, a tough finish ideal for roller skating enthusiasts. There will be no age limit on those using the new facil­ ities. At the present time, > no definite schedule has been drawn up although it is pro. posed that roller skating should be featured in the evening hours. Admission to the rink had not been established at the time of writing, but popular prices in 'line with other roller skating establishments in the ^strict Will be a guideline/ said Mr. Andrews. ’ , • 20% off ROYAL DOULTON FIGURINES manager of the marketingboard said there had been 231 box cars inspected by, the Board of <- Grain; Commissioners^ ,Of these, ’ 30.6% graded No, 61.2% graded No. 2, and 8% graded No. 3,. •. He said test weight on the inspections < averaged between 61 and 63 pounds per bushel with moisture running between 12.3 and 15.8%. . First reports indicate yields are not as high as last year when they averaged 44 bushels per acre for the province. The Ontario Department of Agricul­ ture and Food has estimated - 1967 yields would average 40.5 bushels per acre. Mr. McGregor said as har. vest moves eastward, it is • hoped weather will improve>al. lowing wheat to be harvested in better condition • which would also help improve quality. Early estimates jplaced the Ontario winter wheat crop at a possible total production of 16,444,000 bushels from 373,730 acres left for harvest after al. lowance for winterkill and spring weather damage which took a toll of 10 to 12% of the planted acreage. Officials of the marketing board feel that because of wet weather up to the present time over much of the province,which in some ar eas resulted in flood, ing conditions and near rec­ ord rainfall, the earlier ex­ pectations for a bumper crop of good quality wheat have been drastically reduced.
