the church was built. (School on

front, manse (main part). was
built' in the summer of 1876
and was ready for Rev. McRae
a few months later. The stable
was erected in 1911. 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=

under it by Wm. Dark. Veneering
was done by 'D. A. Lowry, Brus-
sels, Carpenter and painter was

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,

the tariff on beef and imported
live cattle had been re-imposed.

AID TO CONSUMERS
Consumer . and Corporate
Affairs Minister Herb Gray,
proposed regulations under the
Consumer Packaging and Label-
ling Act. The new regulations -
will help consumers in their
selection of prepackaged goods
by' providing more factual infor-
mation on labels and protecting
against fraud and deception in
packaging and labelling.
Interested parties have two
months to make representations
with respect to the proposals.

Deaths usually come through
asphyxiation and heart arrest.
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.

Some aerosol products are
designed to spray into the atmos-
phere or under the arms. Some
are meant-to inhale through your
mouth or nose. But aerosol
misusers who are loOking for
'e ,highs" breathe, in gases in ex-
tremely high concentrations.
They can - and do- die in seconds.
The aerosol industry itself is
alarmed about the situation and
has begun a campaign to educate
young people about the hazards
of misuse. According to the
Aerosol Education Bureau, most
deaths due to deliberate misuse
happen among teenagers, when
they are with their friends. Ac-
curate statistics are hard to come
by, but currently the largest
-cluster' of deaths from aerosol
misuse, says the Bureau, is in
the age group 14 and 15. The
misusers are getting younger and
younger. As recently as 1970, the
largest number of deaths occured -
