Whitney Coates & Son, Cen- tralia, walked off with the top showing in the Hereford section with eight firsts, three second! arid a third. They also had the junior baby beef grand chame pion. Donald Dearing, RR 1 Exeter, had eight firsts and six second; in the Dorset sheep class and Rose Cottle, Kirktpn, took home eight firsts and five seconds with his Berkshire swine. The poultry honors fell to Clifford Pepper, Dashwood. Huron Warden Glenn Webb was in attendance, as were the Hon. C. S. IVia.cleaughton and Elston Cardiff. Accepts post with London MT. CARMEL Miss Donelda Voisin, a grad- uate this year of London Teach- er's College, has accepted a teaching position with St. Law- rence Separate School Board in London. PERSONALS Miss Rita Hogan, Margaret Carey and Peggy Hall of London spent the weekend at the home of their parents. Mrs. Frank Regier returned home after being a patient in South Huron Hospital, Exeter, for the past week. Miss sue Hartman, London, is spending a few days with Mr. & Mrs. Alphonse Hartman. Miss Joan Glavin and Larry Wilmer of Stratford were Sun- day guests of Mr. & Mrs. John Glavin. Mrs. Josephine Dietrich, Zurich, is helping at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Michael Ryan. Mr. & Mrs. Joe Hogan and Mary Anne, Merlin, have found residence in Exeter where Mr. Hogan will be on the High School' teaching staff in the coming year. Growers could lose everything. Dear editor, I have read with interest your report of the Price Water- house Consultants on the bean marketing board, and also com- ments of Mr. Stewart and Mr. MaeNaughton, I was amused at the similar- ity of the Price Waterhouse report as their findings are practically the very words Mr. Also if the floor price is too high and some year we !mind ourselves with an ex- ceptionally large amount of beans to export, and perhaps a low export price, we would not have enough funds to pay the subsidy. Here let me make this clear. We Ontario bean growers setup an export subsidy fund from a levy on all beans sold while in the U.S. if the export price is low the subsidy is taken from federal or public funds. 3. Our Ontario dealers re- ceive 804 per cwt for handling and processing while U.S. deal- ers receive 650 per cwt. I would like to encourage all bean growers to give this ulti- matum handed down by Mr. Stewart and farm products mar- keting board— s Or Qua con- sideration. Our bean marketing board have made it clear that if they are forced to carry out all the demands that have bean made their powers will be so curtail- ed and limited that they will be forced to close their doers, which can only mean losing all we have gained by way of mar, keting control over the past fifteen years. I ask you sincerely; should a few dissatisfied million ai r dealers control the price of the product of all the bean grow- ers of Ontario? sincerely, A bean grower* *Name available on request. Times-Advocate, June 10, 1965 Page 5 IIENSALL Past Noble Grand's Night was observed at Amber Rebekah Lodge Wednesday evening, June 2, when they conducted the open- ing and closing exercises. Entertainment for the evening was provided by the Past Noble Grand's who sang "How Great Thou Art" and did square dance numbers to recorded music. Members of the square dance sets were Mrs. Ross Richard- son, Mrs. Alex McBeath, Mrs. Archie MacGregor, Mrs. How- ard Lemmon, Mrs. Ernie Chip- chase, Mrs. Beverly Beaton, Mrs. R. A. Orr, Mrs. Edna Caldwell. A humorous reading was given by Mrs. McBeath. Mrs. Edna Caldwell will at- tend Grand Lodge Assembly at the Royal York, Toronto, June 14 to 16 and will be in- stalled as District Deputy Pre- sident of Huron District. Mrs. Clarence Volland will attend as a scholar. A country store in charge of Mrs. Beaton rea- lized a nice sum of money, and lunch was served by Mrs. Earl Campbell and Mrs. Inez Mc- E wen. Noble Grand Mrs. J. F. In- gram presided for the business and members of MonktonLodge were special guests. Notes from ART CLARKE Past officers host session Stewart told a group of we bean growers three months ago and it looks as though they were told what to report. I have been interested in growing and marketing beans for almost forty years and re- member quite vividly the chaos and uncertainty which exiated in the bean market before the bean board was orgailized. I remember delivering 400 bushels of No. 1 beans to one of our dealers and received the huge sum of 47¢ per bushel and the dealer said they could import Japan beans of superior quality for that price. Do you believe such a state- ment? Such dealings as this caused the bean growers to organize a marketing board. While it isn't perfect, it is certainly a big improvement. 1. The report and Mr. Stewart says the floor price should be set earlier in the spring. I don't think the board is alone to blame for this as there are a number of dealers on the price negotiation committee. 2. They state the floor price is too low. If the figures I re- ceived are correct, the Ontario floor price has been higher than the U.S. floor price the last two years and I am told the U.S. 1965 floor price is less than $6.00 per cwt. Our board believes in setting a realistic floor price and I think according to the increased acreage the farmers must feel they are one of the best paying crops they can grow. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111181111111111111111111111111111111;1111I11111111111111111111111I113111111111111 stream conditions for fish, (2) the mechanical control of stream bank erosion using gab- ions, (i.e. wire baskets filled with angular stone), (3) instruc- tion in measuring stream flow, (4) constructing a log crib structure at the head of a gully to prevent it from getting larg- er, (5) learning about various geological formations and the genesis of soil types, etc. Other special features in- clude colour films on ecology and evening programs on as- tronomy and fossil identifica- tion.

The dates are: the week of June 14 for the elementary schools and the week of June 21 for the secondary schools. Don't you wish you were in grade 8 again? We do too, in one sense we've discovered that if everyone treated natural resources with the same in- terest and respect of the aver- age 12 year old, we would have no conservation problems. 5 Cabbage & Tomato Plants Ready for BOX Spring Planting NEW!

Something more fundamental than merely an Intellectual grasp of the principles of wise resources management is need- ed . A ,,realizing sense" of their importance for human welfare is essential and an identification of the person with his environment is the result. The individual who has not, at least, been exposed to this field of knowledge, which we call ECOLOGY, is poorly educated for effective citizenship, no matter how well he reads, or how much he knows about the atom, geography, mathematics, or biology, The only way we can ensure that our people acquire the com- petence they need to deal with conservation problems is to provide good conservation edu- cation in our curricula of gen- eral education. Thus, we have our reason for the Ausable Authority's spe- cial interest in conservation education, using the Camp Syl- van course as one vehicle, car- rying this message. The 1965 approach at Sylvan will be more streamlined than our initial experiment last year, in that, emphasis on' ecology" and the introduction of more first hand experience oppor- tunities will be the salient fea- tures of the school. On-site field projects will be done by the students themselves at the Authority's Rock Glen Conservation Area, such as (1) the installation of improvement devices to enhance natural Call 235-1820 today euo g'eizole Crops already planted are growing favourably but some areas are in bad need of rain. Most of the corn planting is completed and bean planting is in full swing. By J. T. MCCAULEY ARCA Field Officer What does the Camp Sylvan Conservation School signify? To the lads from the Exeter and Parkhill areas who attended one year ago, these words will conjure up visions of covered wagons, whip-poor-wills dis- turbing their sleep, a pioneer village (which only exists in that limbo of men's minds we call history), lumberjack sized breakfasts in Frontier House, field trips, fossil hunting at Rock Glen, and a myriad of conservation topics, all of which filled the five-day camp school to the brim with new and en- riching experiences. To the Ausable Authority, this project was the apogee of its efforts, spanning many years, to be a truly "people serving" agency of resources husbandry in this watershed community. And as the circus barker says: "Folks, we're going to do it againi" Conservation means living in proper relationship to the earth which is our home and the store- house from which we get the material things upon which our lives depend. With the advent of modern science, technology and industrialization paralleled by a continuing increase in world population, mankind is faced with a pressure upon the earth's resources such as he has never before known —a pressure which is constantly increasing. Due to these conditions, con- servation has become one of our most urgent problems. Thus, our present and future citizens John Roelofs Some have begun haying in the south half of the county. 235-2242 509 Main South 235-2906 • LOW PRESSURE NITROGEN SOLUTION and therefore less loss of free ammonia.
