In 1888 tenders were asked for laying of stone founclation,vene ering with brick, plastering and otherwise repairing Knox Church. In July 1889 the church was moved north= ward and a stone 'foundation put under it by Wm. Dark. Veneering was done by 'D. A. Lowry, Brus- sels, Carpenter and painter was Dan Zimmer. In November, just 9 months later the church was re- opened." Apple picking "It's apple picking time again. Just imagine going to St.Thomas with a team and Wagon: John Alderson who lived, on Park Lot 71 and 72 drove there , for his winter's supply of apples. This was before he had his orchard. 06 one oczasion he had his clothes all stolen at Lucan. By the late 1800's and early 1900's most everyone around had an orchard. There was a large one on the east fifty of Lot 15 Concession10. A half dozen men would come out from town for a couple of weeks and would pick and pack apples into barrels. "I mustn't forget to mention the Maitland River. Through the years many tales can be told.In the early 1880's there was a big flood at harvest time, which washed much of the crop. 'down- stream." "On July 1st 1905 WmeSinall- don and family were driving to the Village, the water was so high it was in the buggy. __Mrs. Srnalldon wouldn'pt drive--across with the family so waded across the bridge carrying the baby. The buggy had to be taken to. Forrest's blacksmith :shop where holes were drilled in the buggy box to allow the water to drain out, we have several pictures of Mr. Forrest and his shop. One shows him "ironing" iron onto 7. wheel. The original an- vils, forge and tools can be seen in the Engel garage to-day. How- ever, no snorting and sweating farm horses are led to the forge --just sputtering and missing tractors and cars and broken machinery for repairs.• River accident "Here's another story about the Maitland. Jack Rann, who lived on Lot 17, Concession 12, walked over to the river. when the river was flooded. He' was walking the bank and as he walked over a stump, it let go taking him into the rushing waters. He held on, and his faithful dog had a hard time. racing along the bank keeping up with him. When he reached the Cranbrook bridge he managed to reach up catching the timbers and thus was' able to pull himself out." Cranbrook had 2 lime kiln. The larger one was 25 feet high. and was erected by Valentine Gramm on Lot 13. The smaller one was located on the Blind Line on Lots 31 to 35. It' was operating in the 1870's and George Beatle was the lime bUrner:Later the Baekers operated this kiln along with a brickyard almost) directly across the road on the' south east ten acres of Lot 14, Concession 10. If you look closely the land still has a reddish colour. Bricks from ,this yard can be found on the Cranbrook store. (The house brick i s of better quality and from a different source). Once during a high water time a team drawing a load of lime from the Blind Line drove over the water on the bridge. The water was high enough to touch the lime' on the wagon making it go "hot", sinking the. wagon and load to the bottom. Hundreds of tons of lime were delivered from the Gramm kiln into McKillop Township for building stone foundations. Population is noted from the Grey Atles as being approxi- thately- 100 in 1872. Some of the citizens and their occupatiOi were listed. Armstrong, Jailies, Carpenter; Atkinson, William, Dentist; Avery, Duncan, shingle maker; Beatle, George, lime 'bur- ner; Bunch, Albert, .

S :44 BEEF TARIFF Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan announced last week that the tariff on beef and imported live cattle had been re-imposed.

The air sacs of the lungs, vital for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, can be damaged as well as the network of blood vessels that surround them. Aerosol products are easy targets for experimentation; they are inexpensive and everywhere. There are 300 types of aerosols. And within the last three years, sales have doubled to almost two billion a year. Using spray cans improperly can be hazardous to your lungs, even when there is-no deliberate misuse. To protect yourself, read and follow the directions on the can. ' Do not expose the products to heat, do not puncture the cans, use them only in well- ventilated rooms, and keep them' out of children's reach. * ** * * * * ** * * Apply potash, phosphorus- for fall now Pat Lynch Soils and. Crops Specialist Perth and Huron Now is the time for fall ap- plications of both phosphorous and potash. Since these , two nutrients move very little in the soil, they may be applied now without leaching loss during the winter and 'spring months. Both of these elements are 'helpful to the alfalfa and grass plants to insure that these plants over- ,winter. This is the time of year when forage plants are increasing their root reserves for over- wintering. It is also a worthwhile/exer- cise to fall apply phosphorous and potash to next year's corn ground. This can be applied before fall ploughing. There are many reasons to fall apply phos- phorous and potash to next year's corn ground. - it eliminates some of the work-load next spring - if applied before ploughing it is one less trip to help pack the soil next year - it is almost certain that fertilizer will be more expen- sive 'next spring. If the farmer buys fertilizer next spring he must pay the dealer interest on investment plus storage costs for the winter months. These costs will, show as a higher price for fertilizer next spring. If the freight rate goes up, this will be another cost that the fertilizer dealer must pay before he gets his materials; this increase will also be passed along to the farmer. - tin-illy, if you are in a posi- tion to buy fertilizer now, it will reduce your taxable in- come for 1973. Nitrogen is not like phos- phorous and potash in that nitro- gen moves freely in the soil and is readily lost from the top- soil; For this reason it is not recommended that nitrogen be fall applied. However, a farmer can consider fall buying "part of his nitrogen requirements if he has storage space for the winter. MUSHROOM AND.
