Flying .formers" establish .airport of driving charge
Area flying enthusiasts have
established their own airport
on the farm of Leonard Greb,
Hay Township. Mr. Greb and
his neighbor, Elmer Rowe,
own a Piper Super Cruiser,
one -of four craft harbored in
the field and for which a
hangar has been built. Other
owners and their planes in-
clude Don Bell, Exeter, a
Taylorcraft; John Watson,
Hay, as Piper Clipper, and
Harry McNeil, Centralia, an
Arcona Chief, "We're flying
farmers," says Leonard Greb.
"When the chores are done
we bake off in our planes in-
stead of heading for the beer
parlor." They enjoy visiting
other "farmports" in the area,
including ones at Ailsa Craig,
Parkhill and Blyth. Greb calls
the field "See:smith -airport",
which was the name given to
the corner years ago by
Devonshire settlers, The field,
1750 feet in length, boasts a
windsock, Right, mapping out
a route, are Greb, Watson,

Huron P rk re uires separate bus contract
A new financial arrangement
for transportation of Huron
Park students to HSDES is being
required by the Ontario depart-
ment of education, the board
learned Monday night.
Under a recent amendment to
Zurich postmaster William
A. Siebert. was acquitted Tees-
day of a eharge of failing to
yield the right of way in con-
nection with an Accident
April 3 which caused over
$1,0Q0 damage.
Megistrate Glenn Hays, QC,
said the evidence was all on
the "thin line" and not suf-
fdient to warrant a convie-
tien. The postmaster was rep-
resented by Elmer D. Bell,
QC.
Duart McAdams, Zurich,
testified he had to swerve to
miss, the Siebert car at an
intersection in the village
when he was travelling west
on No. 84 highway. The Me-
Adams car struck a tree and
crashed into a car owned by
Arthur Edighoffer.
The postmaster said be had stopped at the intersection on
his way to the post office
from his home. Seeing to
traffic, he 'proceeded to turn
to the east when the Me,
Adams car came into view
suddenly. He swerved to miss
it, then proceeded downtown,
not realizing there had been
an accident.
Other witnesses were Bryce
Mack, Zurich, who saw the
accident from a nearby gar-
age, and PC George Mitchell,
who investigated,
W, G. Cochrane, QC, prose-
cuted.

Nature provides effective protection for pheasants
It lakes a second look to find the 10 pheasants in this picture, thanks to the way nature
provides camouflage for the birds. About 200 eight-week-old pheasants have been supplied
to game enthusiasts in Hay and Stephen townships by the Ontario Department of Lands
and Forests. The birds above are being harbored on the farm of Wilmer Desjardine, con-
cession 15, Stephen, prior to release. Local sportsmen will also receive day-old birds for

tation as well as tuition fees.
This year, however, in accor-
dance with amendments made in
1960-61, a new form was pro-
vided which did not permit claim
for transportation.
As a result, estimated reve-
nue of the board for 1963 was
reduced by some $8,000 in the
drafting of the budget upon which
the current tax levy was based.
relation to the use of the product
and methods of increasing the
consumption of milk and milk
products will also be subjects
of study.
The establishment of produc-
er marketing quotas and the
problems arising in interpro-
vincial and export trade will
also be subjected to review.
In broad terms the commit-
tee, in addition to being asked
to make recommendations in
respect of a plan for the mar-
keting of milk, will be asked to
express their views on methods
of production, and in the proces-
sing and distribution of fluid
and manufactured milk pro-
ducts. Upon completion, the re-
port will be submitted to the
minister of agriculture, but will
be a public document.
The minister emphasized that
many divergent ideas and opin-
ions existed relative to needed
changes and adjustments inOn-
tario0 s dairy industry. He
stressed, however, that because
of the economic importance of
the industry, no changes af-
fecting the long-term policies
should be made, without objec-
tive analysis and conclusions.
The minister stated that he felt
the independent committee of
enquiry just named, would give
all interested parties an oppor-
tunity to express their opinions,
and after a complete assess-
ment of all available informa-
The situation in Huron county
was cited as an example of the
critical shortage of dentists in
the province at the recent mee-
ting of the Ontario Dental Asso-
ciation in Toronto.
Dr. Stewart A. MacGregor of
the faculty of dentistry, Uni-
versity of Toronto, pointed out
that while Toronto has one den-
tist for every 1,670 people, Hu-
ron county has one for every
4,500.
The dental association is gra-
vely concerned about the shor-
tage which is worsening, par-
ticularly in small towns and
rural areas.
Of the 124 dentists who gra-
duate this year from the uni-
versity, 80 come from the Metro
Toronto area and are likely to
remain there. Another dozen or
so come from other provinces
and countries and are going back
to them.
Only 12 come from small
towns, to which they may or
may not return.
In an editorial on the problem,
The Toronto Star said: "This
imbalance has been worsening
for a dozen years, with the re-
sult that rural and Northern
Ontario are being deprived of
dental care as if they were
primitive settlements in central
Africa."
Two of the three motor coach
clinics sponsored by the Red
Cross in the north bush country
are being abandoned this year
because no dentists are avail-
able to staff them.
The Star calls for another
dental faculty in Ontario, a
recruitment drive for high
school stude n t s, particularly
from the smaller towns; bur-
saries toward dental school stu-
dies, and an improvement in the
quality of education in rural se-
condary schools to produce
more students who can qualify
for entrance to the dental
faculty.
Correction, please
In last week's account of a
propane gas break at Grand
Bend, the driver of the truck
should have been identified as
George Winegarden, rather than
Gerald Gardiner, as reported.

It's not expected the new ar-
rangement will change the
transportation services pro-
vided nor make significant
changes in the costs to either
party.
The letter to HSDHS said
the transportation of Hu r o n
Park pupils "is no concern of
the high school board which
should therefore not provide for
their transportation."
"It is of course permissible
for these national defence pu-
pils to ride on the buses trans-
portating the high school pupils,
but in that case each of the high
school board and the public
school board should have its
own contract with the opera-
tor."
"The National Defence Public
School Board receives a grant
from this department of 50%
of the amount of the fees and of
50% of the approved portion of
the cost of transportation, if
provided."
The letter requested, "in
view. of the complexities of the
situation", that the board ar-
range a meeting with the de-
partment determine "a course
of action that will clear up this
situation".

Cause of the fire which de-
stroyed the barn of Fred
Bischoff, north of Exeter,
Friday, has not been deter-
mined, according to Fire
Chief Irwin Ford.
Ford •said he doubted the
fire started from spontaneous
combustion in hay which had
been drawn to the barn pre-
viously. He said the condi-
tion of hay in the fields was
dry.
The fire chief indicated
there had been some elec-
trical difficulty which may
have caused the blaze.
The barn, described as a
"good size", was razed quick-
ly by flames, fanned by a
fairly strong wind. No other
buildings were damaged.
Earlier Friday, firemen
were called to the farm of
Cornelius Faber, further north
on No. 4, where overheated
furnace pipes caused trouble
