The first cut back in May, June and July was only one thankfulness and love. Mrs. W.J. Zerback, board member of U.S.C.O. spoke on the national convention in Niagara Falls. The theme was, "Unity in life, help in joys and sorrows". Age is a state of mind. Reasources are necessary for seniors to work; Guy .Lombardo played in Quebec for seniors on his 75th birthday. Seniors may now live abroad and still collect pensions under certain con- ditions. Parliament is en- couraging them to spend their money.

Highlights of their activities were a shopping trip to London, en- tertaining at Huronview, making quilts to raise money, a bazaar at Buffaloburger, and trips to Lion Safari, Toronto, Black Creek, Kleinhurg and Ontario Place. Entertainment consisted of a Wet weather conditions con- tinue to hamper farmers in their harvest of area crops and the losses continue to mount. "Not worth a damn". "It's awful", "A tough go", were terms applied by representatives of several local produce com- panies in describing their at- tempts to get the turnip crop harvested. Len Veri of Exeter Produce, Eric Kintz of Huron Produce and Brian Sanders of Quality Produce were in general agreement that this fall's Wet weather has wrecked havoc with the turnip harvest, Veri stated that his firm may have 50 percent of its total acreage remaining in the ground "unless we get 15 to 20 days of dry weather," According to Kints, they have been lucky if they have entered the fields two or three days out of seven and with the wet con- ditions, have been faced with numerous machinery break- downs, Seeking a possible solution to the harvest problems, Huron Produce has purchased a new turnip harvester that has proven successful in the United States. At present Huron Produce has 50 percent of their crop har- vested. At Quality Produce the situation is the same with 50 percent of their crop still in the fields. According to Huron's agricultural representative Don Pullen, the situation is not much better for other crops grown in the South Huron area. "We're simply running out of time, fast. Once we get past the middle of October, the days get very short, and anything can happen with the weather," Pullen stated. "Last week we had a good day, Friday, which according to some farmers was the best since July . we need more like that," Pullen stated. The harvest of this year's decimated bean crop continues to progress at a snail-like pace. All indications point to a potential loss of close to 75 percent of the crop in Huron County. The bean crop in Huron last year was valued at $12,672,000. Lloyd Whitesell, assistant manager off W. G.IThompson and Sons Elevator in Hensall said that a few farmers did bring in some beans last weekend, but the amount was almost negligible. Wes Petch, marketing manager of Cook's, a division of 'Gerbro Corporation at Hensall, told the T-A that many farmers have abandoned their beans for the time being, and have swit- ched to the harvesting of their corn. "If it dries up or freezes, the farmers might try to get into the fields after the corn harvest," Fetch said, Figures supplied to Petch by the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board indicate a possibility of between another 250,0.1)0 and 300,000 bags being harvested in the province. Petch called these figures "optimistic." As of Monday, a total of 528,000 bags of white beans had been harvested in the province, ac- cording to Charles Broadwell of the Ontario Bean Producer's Marketing Board, Prior to the onset of wet weather, a yield of between 2,250,000 and 2,500,000 bags had been anticipated. Broadwell said that one of the concerns now is the availability of seed beans for next year's planting. The inability of the farmers to harvest the bean crop is affecting the sowing of winter wheat. The wet conditions have slowed the bean harvest and the subsequent planting of winter wheat on the same fields. According to Pullen a few farmers have resorted to sowing by aircraft. When asked about the last possible date for sowing winter wheat, Pullen replied "some people think it's too late now but it's dependent on the weather from now on." Inspector seeks help Exeter council will request a meeting with Usborne in the near future to discuss a request frond building inspector Doug Triebner for a part-time assistant. Councillor Steve Pfaff said he had been approached by Triebner to have an assistant in view of the mounting work load he is ex- periencing in serving as building inspector in Usborne. Most members appeared to be of the opinion that if an assistant was required, Usborne should pay for that person. COunciller Derry Boyle recommended that a letter be written to Usborne on the matter, but at the suggestion of Mayor Bruce Shaw, it was decided to request a meeting between the two councils. Triebner, who was at Monday's Meeting, said he had 24 calls to Make in Usborne in one afternoon and it was just too Much to handle, Last year the wheat was planted quite late with what Pullen called "a miraculous yield" occurring in the spring. Other crops are also being affected by this year's adverse weather conditions, Although grain corn deteriorates little during bad weather, farmers are faced with the problem at present of muddy fields, or later on, the possibility of an early winter with higher than average snowfalls. The Ontario Convention of the United Senior Citizens of Ontario, held at Hamilton's McMaster University, in August, was the subject of an address by Mrs. Leona Lockhart, honourary president of the zone eight rally in the Legion Hall at Brussels, October 12. The U.S.C.O. has been formed to protect the rights of senior citizens. Members may contribute $1 annually to promote this cause. They are alSo en- couraged to do everything possible for shut-ins and older people. Seventy-five registered at the rally. Ed Martin, Brussels president, and Reeve Calvin Krauter welcomed the group. Rev. Ed. Baker of Walton gave an inspiring message on sharing, PLANS PROGRESS Plans are well underway for the addition to South Huron Hospital according to hospital administrator Elmer Taylor, Taylor told the T-A that the architect for the addition, C.H. Gillin is proceeding with the development of the plans. The plans should be completed in time to call tenders in late winter or early spring, thereby allowing construction to com- mence some time in the spring. Usborne okay severances At the regular October meeting, Usborne township council approved two land severance applications and failed to approve a third. Severances were granted to Ross Tufts, part of Lot 8, S.13, Con., and Laverne Heywood, part Lot. 16, Con. 2. The refusal was on the ap- plication of Carl and Patricia Baptist at part Lot 21, Con, 2 on the grounds it does not conform with the municipality's secon- dary plan, Building inspector Doug Triebner reported issuing is building permits during the month of September with an estimated value of $132,200, He also made 10 inspections. Tile drainage inspector William Routly reported the completion of four tile drain jobs to a loan value of $15,600. Council agreed that ratepayers be charged $2.20 per cubic yard for any gravel purchased from the township during road gravelling operations, Payment of $150 was authorized to assist in covering costs of the official opening of the South Huron Recreation Centre, A grant of $5 will be Made to each Usborne township 4-II club menthe'', In business arising Out of the minutes council noted Ministry of Transportation and Cott- munications approval of the grader purchase; that the Property Standards bylaw was being processed with the secondary plan and the Cann gravel agreethent has been registered. hail the normal yield according. to Pullen The second and third cuts, of "which many tons still, remain in the field, "was ,One of the most outstanding crops we've ever had," Pullen said. Pullen remains optimistic that good. weather will find its way to this part of the country, "The odds are with us . a week or two of good weather would help us 04," stated Pullen. magician act, poetry, a reading and piano selections. SET POLICY Two Exeter employees have been called for jury duty this month and this resulted in council setting a policy on that matter, Monday. It was suggested that a policy similar to that of the Huron board of education be followed. The, employees are paid at their normal rate of pay by the town, but any remuneration they receive for jury duty would be turned over to the town. The two employees called are Liz Bell and John Roelofs. Exeter thefts are cleared During the past several weeks officers of the Exeter Police Department have cleared up a number of theft and break and enter occurrences that have taken place in Exeter over the past two years.
