Seniors enjoy Lions trip
By TED CHAMBERS
Wednesday two bus loads
of senior citizens were the
guests of the Exeter Lions
Club and treated to a bus trip
through the countryside to
St. Marys.
They were taken in around
the cement works which has
been one of the Western
Ontario suppliers of cement
for years. Even drove down
around the rock formations
were the rocks have been
taken out and crushed into
cement, bagged and shipped
all over Western Ontario
maybe farther.
Many sturdy cement silos

and barn walls stand in
evidence over the country
side of the strength of
cement.
The buses then journeyed
on towards the lake formed
by conservation authorities
by the name of Wildwood.
They wouldn’t let the busses
drive around through the
park so we went on to the
park in Stratford near the
theatre where tables had
been reserved and cooks had
gone ahead to supply some
80-90 hungry seniors with
sandwiches and delicious
hamburgers, coffee and cold
drinks by a group of faithful
Lions.
We were allowed to walk
around the park and enjoy it
until 3.30 when we loaded up
and returned to Exeter,
arriving home around 4.30
p.m.
Everyone enjoyed the trip
and we wish to
Lions Club
especially the
hostesses Mr. &
Dinney on one bus and Mr. &
Mrs. Bev Morgan on the
other, as well as all the
members of the Lions Club

Geography tour
Dave McClure has return
ed from a tour arranged for
Geography teachers of
Southern Ontario. The trip
began June 23 and ended
July 1.
June 23 the party flew
from Toronto to Winnipeg,
then proceeded by bus to
Pine Falls, 65 miles north,
site of the Abitibi Paper
Mill. Saturday they visited
the mill, and did a communi
ty study of Pine Falls, some
going to the hospital, some
to the mill, some studying
housing.
Mr. McClure with two
others made a study of the
hospital. There are Indian
reservations nearby, and
most of the patients are In
dian. There were young
children suffering from
pulmonary and digestive
diseases. There are depres-
sion and alcoholism
problems, and a high
diabetes rate.
Leaving Pine Falls the
next day, the group proceed
ed southward to Grand
Beach on Lake Winnipeg
where there are several
miles of smooth sandy
beach, then on to Lower
Fort Garry on the Red
River, a Hudson Bay Post at
the time of Governor Simp
son.
Monday, June 26, they
visited a wheat farm at St.
Agathe, near the area where
a tornado wreaked havoc not
long ago. The 1800 acre
farmer produces wheat,
hay, barley, oats, alfalfa and,
raises cattle in feed lot'
operations. He has huge bins
for storing and drying grain
for himself and for his
neighbours.
Returning to Winnipeg,
they interviewed members
of the Canadian Wheat
Board, discussing the
problems of selling and
transporting to foreign
markets. Much grain is
presently being shipped to
Vancouver for China and
Japan and there is not suf
ficient storage space there.
Meanwhile elevators at
Thunder Bay are only half
full, with not enough railway
cars to facilitate movement.
After lunch in the
Manitoba legislature they
sat through a session of
parliament. The speaker of
the house is Mrs. McClure’s
cousin.
Three cabinet ministers,
Ministers of Agriculture, of
Education and of Industry,
talked with the teachers.
One came from the area
where Nelson Lamport had
farmed and knew the Lam-
ports.
That evening the Winnipeg
Tribune arranged a Red
River cruise on the Lady
Winnipeg, with a meal serv
ed while they were on board.
Tuesday they toured the
Canadian Forces Base at
Winnipeg, and went f -oft in
a huge transport plane.
Next they flew to Thunder
Bay where they were guests
of Lakehead University. The
Finlandia Club provided a
supper of Finnish food and a
programme of Finnish sing
ing and dancing.
Those who wished used
the sauna. There are 10,000
people of Finnish origin in
Thunder Bay. the largest
settlement of Finnish people
in the world outside of
Finland.
Wednesday. June 28 of
ficials of the Great Lakes
Paper Company discussed
environmental problems.
Sheets of thick pulpy
material are shipped to
mills in Southern Ontario
where fine paper is made.
Newsprint is shipped to the
United States, some as far
south as Texas.
In the afternoon they
visited Northern Wood
Preserves where hydro and
telephone poles and railroad
ties are cut. Enormous
creosote ovens are used to
preserve the wood. Any type
of log unfit for poles is re
jected by computer testing
and cutup into2 by 4’s.
Thursday morning the
group arose early to make
an 80 mile journey north to
Camp 234 where they could
study cutting operations of
the Great Lakes Paper Com
pany. Officials explained
how the work is done, the
species of tree preferred,
and the type of soil best for
three growth.
A meal was served in the
lumber camp cafeteria. The
workers are obviously well
fed. There were five kinds of
meat on the menu, and as
many vegetables.
There is a Lakehead
University Forestry Study
Camp in the area. Forty
