Moved by Jeff Hurley of Burlington (Onte), Gazette, the resolution reflects a worry on the part of many association members that invaluable files containing the history of Can- ada will be lost forever if not gathered for safekeeping in the near future. Already many papers have incomplete files due to fires, changes of owner- ship and natural deterioration. The resolution also contains a clause calling for sufficient funds for histories of the weekly press to be commission- ed. These histories would be handled on a regional basis, Some weeklies have already been privately microfilmed, but the cost would he prohibi- tive to the average small newspaper.

By ;BILL BATTEN ' Although one would expect that inspectir b ee fruit and vege- tables would be an extremely safe task, the inspectors at the local branch of the dep't of agriculture will attest that it 'is sometimes anything but that, In fact, during his ten years 411 the business, senior inspec- tor Arnold Truax, Forest, has liad shot guns and knives pulled on him and has even :been in a few tussles with irate -growers. . However, he and his side- kick, Gerry Morrison, take .these extreme cases philosophi- xally as Arnold reports, "I don't really blame them," ' This appears to be an under- ptanding attitude and it is just that, because in their roles they have had to tell several pro- duce growers that their pro- :ducts were not fit for market- Mg and have to be destroyed. "When you consider the long hours and hard work some of these guys have put into rais- ing their crops.' he stated, 4'you can understand that they get pretty hot sometimes when eve come along and turn them down." "We certainly don't enjoy it Any more than they do," he ex- plained, "hut it is for their own good because they would soon lose their markets if they sold inferior products." He pointed out that while many growers did not see this aspect at the time, they did later on when they had cooled off. Wide area While many area residents only see the pair in their office 'betide the lelondylte Gardens, they cover a much wider area, taking in all of Huron, Bruce, Grey and Lamblon counties and parts of Perth, Wellington and Middlesex. The area runs north to 'Win- ton, east to Mount Forest and south to London, covering ap- proximately 150 miles in length anti 50 miles east of Lake Uuron, They are in charge of the in- spection of all fruits, vegetables end honey in that area and Otte: the produce right from the grower level to the retail outlets. The produce is inspeettii to 015tirt'. it is properly graded. free of 'disease and injury of various types and is properly marked and packed. However, generally they are not interested in the produce until it is in a container And ready for shipping. although they do considerable checking of tropt in the field and loads coming ,into the EfietidYke. explained that the Xlendelte Growers request an inspection of all produce SO they can ensure beyetS that all Is up id the proper grade. They else inspect in fields when requested to give their personal judgement regarding any crop if the grower is in diitibt if ft is ready to he her- vested or is good enough to harvest. Howevet, there is not an tOthorized inspection and they Must still go ovet it when it is delivered to the Co-Op and later When it is rut into track;; for shipping.

They attetiipt to check each store Once a month and in Sar- nia they make -calls every week, .The inspectors can also stop any thick or wagon on the road Witt is tatrying .ptoduce and they also inspect any road-side vendors. In fact, the act stipu- lates they have control over any produce that is packed, transported, s h i p p e d, adver- tised, sold or offered for sale, If they discover any inferior produce or diseased fruit or vegetables, they immediately place a detention slip on the carton and this can't be sold until it is brought up to the proper grade or is destroyed. To ensure that this is proper- ly enforced, any had produce must be dumped when the in- spector is present or if it is regraded, they must obtain a written release before it can be offered for sale again. "We have to lay quite a few charges," Arnold explained, "but we don't like to use it un- til it becomes a drastic mat- ter." He reported that the first of- tense can result in fines rang- ing from $10.00 to $50.00 and second offenses carry fines of from 550,00 to $500.00. And, while they have met up with guns and knives, a penalty ranging from $200.00 to $1,000.00 can be imposed upon anyone obstructing an inspector or pro- viding false information. "It acts as a pretty good de- terrent," Arnold reported. However, le added that most producers cooperated with the inspectors and realized that it was a protection for themselves to have their produce inspected, "After all," he stated, "the consumer is the best inspec- tor." "If they get inferior produce at a store or market, they won't go back to buy there again," he pointed out, Look for diseases The two inspectors also en- force the plant disease act and have 36 orchards at present un- der surveillance for apple mag- got. Arnold stated that no grower can export apples unless his orchard is certified as Maggot tree. It is inspected in the spring for Hawthorne or neglected trees that could ad as a host for the maggot and an inspec- tion is later carried out to en- sure proper spraying has beeh completed and that the old trees were rettioved. The final inspection is made of the fruit itself when the two Forest men have the tedious task of searching for the mag- got. "The hole is abOut the same site as A pin hole," Arnold ex- plained, "and your eyes are crossing by the time you've in- spected apples all day for the Minute mark." "ft's easier to find them when you're eating the apple," he jokingly noted. ood Year The inspector pointed out that their work had been fairly easy this year due to the fact it has been- dry. "There's very little . disease any produce when it's dry," he pointed MI, "and Hess cERtitito Watchmaker Well known ter Quality Watch, C l Jewellery, Electric Shaver & Spectecio Repairin9 Established 1915 Albert Hess JEWELLER & blitittAN ItiftltH in eieron Presbytery when sponsored by Preebyterial eroved to be an inspiring theme erehin development eommittee dynamic .Christian Fellowship wits held at Goderich .Suntorter or a new venture of the lead- ""The Weird and The Way" est, study be given. to the ve- rifies aspects of their faith. by Rev, E, M.

Sup't Gar Myers reported that work would commence late in September for the plant- ing of 60,000 more wihte and red pine trees to replace many of the oak trees that are dy: ing out. He' explained that most of the large oak trees in the park have been fire-scarred from frequent ground fires that have raced through the area and they were dying off in large fungus and insects have invad- ed the damaged portions and were slowly killing them off. However, in the major re- forestation project that takes place every year at the noon* lar camping area, their ab- sence will hardly be noticed as the young pine are quickly filling in their places. Some of the trees have now grown to a height of over four feet, a growth of over three feet, since their planting. Done by hand All the planting in the 'Pinery is done by hand to maintain the natural look in the park. "It would look too artificial it they were planted in rows by a mechanical planter," Myers pointed out. He reported that about 15 men would be employed in this year's project and that they would probably have the trees planted within three weeks. The trees are later thinned out where they are crowded so they will not become dwarfed. "We harvest trees just the same as a farmer harvests his crop," the sup't explained, Don't race back from vaca- tion, a suntan fades quickly in a hospital, PHONE 235.0730 ••••'4,'1,151.

However, he stated they were constantly on the job during a wet year and pointed out that last year's onion crop in the area had been hard hit due to the wet conditions. Although he points out it would be disastrous to show a preference to any grower, he stated that the producers at the Klondyke were the best hunch he has ever worked with, Arnold, who has held similar positions in areas throughout the province, reports, "they're a nice bunch of fellows and they're hard workers," Third inspector While Arnold and Gerry in- spect all the produce that is shipped anywhere in Ontario, produce that is for export has to be inspected by Eldon Stan- ley, Grand.
