Countess Joan van Limburg-
Stirum, from Santa Fe province
in Argentina, paid her biennial
visit to Mr. & Mrs. Ward Fritz of
Exeter this week.
It was the sixth time the
countess has renewed her
friendship with the Exeter couple
which began back in 1955 in
Zurich, Switzerland,
Mr. & Mrs, Fritz and their
daughter, Mary Lou, were
vacationing there and Mr, Fritz
had an official letter to deliver
from the reeve of Zurich, Ontario
to the burgomaster.
He was trying to find someone
to direct him to the mayor's of-
fice but was having little luck
getting anyone to understand
him..
According to the countess, she
was driving down the street when
she saw "this man, obviously in
trouble, trying to talk with both
hands and feet." Since she speaks
six languages she stopped to
inquire if she could be of
assistance,
Indeed she could, After Mr.
Fritz had explained his mission,
his rescuer quickly got him in
touch with the proper authorities
and his mission was ac-
complished.
The countess and her husband,
Menno, were attending univer-
sity at Zurich at that time and
they invited the Fritzes to their
home. From this first chance
meeting grew a friendhsip that
has blossomed ever since.
Countess van Limburg-Stirum
is Dutch and her 82 year old
mother still resides at and
manages the family castle and
estate which has been in the
family for over 1,000 years at
Maarsbergen, Holland.
In 1958, the van Limburg-
Stirums decided they wanted to
get away from Europe, and since
the countess was interested in a
large-scale farming operation,
they settled on Argentina where
they purchased a 2,500 acre run
down ranch which hadn't been
worked for 13 years,
The countess, a singularily
vibrant and strong woman, went
into that remote section of
country, not knowing the
language, to commence the
mammoth task of whipping the
ranch into a once again
prosperous and beautiful estate.
She established two herds of
cattle, one dairy and one beef, got
the land under cultivation, and
made extensive repairs to the
building and grounds,
Being an expert horsewoman,
she was able to ride with her
gauchos to boss the many and
varied operations,
The big farm now requires 14
full-time hands to keep
everything running smoothly. At
harvest time, specialized har-
vesters, who move from property
to property, come in to combine
the crops.
Because of the mild climate,
farms in Argentina are able to
produce three crops in two years
if properly managed.
To see that things are managed
properly, the countess rises at 5
a,m, every morning, If she isn't
travelling to the nearest town to
purchase seed, she may be
selling her beef, or overseeing the
crop spraying, or vaccinating or
dipping the cattle or doing any of
the hundred other jobs that must
ne done.
Each crop season her farm
produces about 8,800 tons of corn,
1,100 tons of wheat, 1,320 tons of
soybeans, 52,600 gallons of milk,
and 300 beef cattle which are bred
and grazed on the property.
Most of the help is paid on a
commission basis. "The dairy
help recieve 30 percent of
production; the grain workers
receive 10 percent of the produce,
and the people who help with the
beef herd get $60.00 per month,
plus 2 percent commission,"
explains the countess.
All other help on the farm
receive $60 per month plus
housing and board. The laws of
Argentina require that em-
ployees receive 10 days vacation
with pay every year, and when
they leave someone's employ
they must be given one month's
pay for every year they have
worked for that person.
At the moment, inflation in
Argentina is running rampant.
Eleven months ago 350 pesos
were equal to one American
dollar. Now it requires 1,015
pesos to make a dollar,
"We are making no gain for all
our work," says Countess Joan as
she shakes her head. "It is very
bad."
`She sold her last crop at the
following prices: 100 kilos (220
pounds) corn, $1.50; 100 kilos
wheat, $2.00; 100 kilos soybeans,
$4.00; 100 kilos sunflower seeds,
$5.00. At the present time, 40
quarts of milk fetch $1.00, and top
quality live beef brings $1.00 for
four kilos (that's approximately
12 cents per pound.)
"If things don't get better soon
we will have to get out," she says.
Although there is little time for
social activities, she states, "I
love the life." She may manage
two trips a year to Beunos Aires
and admits she looks forward to
the trip back to Holland every
two years where she visits with
her mother for a few months.
It is on her way to Holland that
she has made it a practice to stop
over with her friends,the Fritzes.
She holds a degree in the
History of the Arts and is ex-
tremely interested in church art.
Angela Armitt, director of
summer school and extension
courses at Western Ontario
University, spoke to the ninth
graduating class of South Huron
Hospital's registered nursing
assistants,Wednesday evening.
In her witty and off-the-cuff
delivery on the subject of Humor,
Miss Armitt regaled the
graduates and their guests. She
stressed the need of humor and
laughter in everyone's life, She
left two serious thoughts for the
graduates: "Remember, you
never stop learning, and there
isn't one thing you can't do if you
make up your mind to do. it."
Dr. J.C. Goddard who in-
troduced the speaker also ad-
vised the graduates to continue
on with courses to keep their
nursing knowledge up to date.
In her valedictorian address,
Sandra Errington stated that
learning was a continuing
process. She thanked the
graduates' parents and all others
who shared the graduating
classes success.
Administrator Alice Claypole
said she was very proud of the
1971 class. "You were chosen
from over 200 applicants and you
have all turned out to be good
nurses." Miss Claypole paid
tribute to nursing instructors,
Mrs. J.H. Delbridge, R.N. and
Mrs. B. Horton, R.N. for their
work with the girls.
Mrs. Delbridge and Mrs.
Horton presented the graduation
diplomas while James Kneale,
vice chairman of board of
directors, gave them their
graduation pins.
Other presentations were made
by Dr. W. Reid, on behalf of the
doctors; Mrs. W. Bentley, R.N.
and Mrs. I. Bennewies, R.N.for
the hospital supervisors, and
Mrs. R. Bailey and Mrs. R.C.
Dinney for the Women's
Auxiliary.
Duets were sung by Laura Lee
and Jane Lynn Stewart, ac-
companied by William McHugh
on guitar.
Mrs. W.M. Wilson, R.N.
Her face lights up when she
discusses some of the
magnificent churches in South
America and Mexico.
She was in Mexico for a few
days before she came to Ontario,
"My friend there gave a tea party
for me and I was laughing to
myself the whole time," chuckles
the countess.
"I am used to talking with men
about crops, and spraying and
foot and mouth disease and
things like that, and here I was at
a party with ladies who were
discussing their new diets, the
latest fashions and their card
games. I couldn't talk their
language at weseemed to
have no common interests."
No one can be in Countess Joan
van Limburg-Stirum's company
long without being charmed by
her vitality and her wit. If she
feels more at ease talking with
men, it's definitely the women's
loss!
