Special recognition was given by East Williams reeve, Peter Twynstra as he presented camp manager, Wayne Schlegel, with a trophy Saturday evening in tribute to the ten years the camp has served the com- munity and beyond. An oak tree in memory of Wilfred Schlegel was planted by his wife, Emma, and son Wayne as a tribute to a man who loved nature deeply and conscientously planted trees wherever he saw a need for conservation. This he did in his own back yard, community and in his travels abroad in Haiti as he looked down the road , into the future.

He noted installed by his men this that if the PUC had to year. replace their services on their own, there would be no subsidy available which would result in the taxpayers of the town bearing the full cost. Both Davis and Livingstone asked if it would not be possible for the roads and drains committee to have a five or ten year forecast of road work which could aid the PUC in their water works planning. Both men replied that they had been told this would be a difficult task to perform as it involved elected officials who change office frequently.

Dick Fenn, president of the Elgin County Federation of Agriculture, said the need for safety education is required if in- juries are to decline. "These days farmers have to be engineers so it's really important the young children learn the dangers of farm machinery as soon as they can." John Anderson, Elgin County Agricultural representative, said the kits will provide an essential service. "The fact is most children just don't realize the danger on the farm. Noise and big machinery just attract the children." The kits will be given to school boards interested in teaching farm safety.

PO e 2 Times-Adveesate,.July 00, 1980 By JOY SCHEIFELE For many years the late Wilfred Schlegel of Nairn had the dream of a recrea- tion area specifically set aside for the welfare of families to enjoy a Exeter won a tightly played 3-2 game against Nairn in peewee-division soccer at Canner's field on Monday, July 21, Nairn began the scoring after 20 minutes of play. An- drew Winters evened things for Exeter 10 minutes later. But near the end of the half, Nairn attacked quickly to get a 2-1 lead. Steve Gould scored for Ex- eter on a long shot 15 minutes into the second half, and from then on both clubs duelled strongly for a vic- tory. Exeter finally got it, when Dale Regier worked himself into the open for a The Exeter PUC has turned down a request by the roads committee of Exeter town council that the PUC pick up the extra costs in the Victoria Street roadwork caused by the updating of water lines. The PUC turned down the request with PUC manager Hugh Davis saying it had been a policy of the PUC for the last 22 years to replace galvanized services when road work in the town was taking place. Davis said in many cases the services along Victoria Street were over 70 years old and that it has been a policy of the ministry of tran- sportation and com- munications to subsidize to the tune of 50 percent the replacement of galvanized services when it's deemed construction could damage the services. The the meeting of council last week chairman of the roads and drains committee Ted Wright objected to the replacement of the services as it reduced the amount of road work which could be undertaken in any year, thanks to the limitations of spending imposed by the ministry. Davis said most of the extra cost was involved with the lowering of existing services when the PUC learned that the grading of the road would be changed significantly. At the time that Davis submitted an estimate to the town for the water line changes, Davis was not made aware of the change in the street grades. He suggested that a lack of communication between the town's engineers and the town might be the root of the problem and that the commission should not have to pay for this lack of communication. There was no real problem which is not suitable"for far- ming, but possesses a natural setting of ponds, trails, and woodlands. Here at the camp a Christian in- fluence is maintained with regular interdenominational church services each Sun- day, gospel sing-alongs and Sunday School classes for the younger generations throughout the summer months, Hidden among the trees at the back of the camp a com- fortable retreat centre has been built. Here groups can meet throughout the year for fellowship and spiritual refreshment. Each Saturday morning throughout July and August young campers meet here for a program of games and crafts. The week-end festivities got off to a good start with a parade around the campgrounds on Saturday morning. In the evening some 250 enjoyed a chicken barbecue which was follow- ed by the choosing of a Camp Queen. Sunday morning found the campers indulging in a generous breakfast of pancakes and syrup. "There was a tremendous spirit among the campers", reported Mrs. Wilfred Schlegel, "everyone really co-operated and we all had a good time." Rain slows harvesting . Huron County Agriculture Representative Don Pullen said that the recent rain was good for most crops but it has delayed the harvest of grain crops. Pullen said that the rain was especially needed in the central parts of the county. It was a gentle rain and soaked into the soil. But he said that there has now been enough rain, maybe too ,much in some areas. The wheat harvest has been held up due to the rain but should continue smoothly after crops dry out. In some parts of the county there has been a start to the harvest. The barley harvest should begin later this week. Pullen said that the crops look promising and there should be a good yield. However, the lodging condition is worse this year than usual and could make it more difficult to harvest. There is some concern about white mould in bean crops. Humid weather creates conditions more favourable for white mould, Pullen said. "This may have an effect on the yield of the crops but not on their quality," he said. There are products on the market that can prevent the white mould condition, but once it exists there is nothing that can be done about it, Pullen said that every year some white mould occurs. But corn crops look very promising. Pullen said that the ideal growing conditions, which have increased the nitrogen intake of these crops, have produced par- ticularly healthy corn crops of a deep green colour.

The group from Dashwood went on a over-night camp out Thursday at the Pinery with abodt 25 youngsters Plan pilot for farm A new pilot project aimed at reducing farm-related injuries will be introduced to county school boards in Ontario in September. The Ontario Farm Safety Association is sponsoring the program in an effort to free staff and provide blanket safety education to farm children, "We' hope to teach the school children some of the dangers involved with the farming industry so they will be safety conscious when they enter the work force," public relations co-ordinator Larry Swinn said in Guelph. Of the 2,200 reported time- loss injuries on farms in Ontario in 1979 about 47 per cent involved workers under 25, There were 44 farm deaths in 1979. The rural Ontario safety kit - a mini resource library - will be distributed to specific elementary schools in the province. The kits consists of a teachers' guide and four resource sections. While the focus is on farm safety, the kit also deals with recreational and home safety, he said. "The kit is ;aist a better idea to educate the children. It will allow more pupils to get involved and should help to reduce injuries." The association will hold work shops for teachers to discuss how the kit should be used. ".We eventually hope to have one of the kits in every rural Ontario elementary school and in a year or two we hope to make headway into the secondary schools." The association provides health and safety in- formation to agricultural areas in Ontario. It is promoting Farm Safety Week from July 25 to July 31. The safety group used to send area representatives in into the schools to discuss farm safety. But there were only six representatives and they couldn't cover all the schools, he said. Area agricultural representatives believe the new kits may eventually By MRS, E.

Morden conducted the morning worship and of- ficiated at the Sacrament of baptism, when Joni May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Duncan was baptized. Rev. Morden entitled his sermon "First things first". Have you ever looked "over the shoulder of an artist while painting a picture, you will notice he puts the must important things in first, Jesus puts first things first, and so did Moses. Let us place them in the picture of our lives, In dealingwith this ,subject, there is a law of cause and effect, we reap what we sow, said the minister. What if your life is filled with confusion and frustration, then I commend you to Jesus, make the Kingdom of God your aim and put first things first. On Sunday at the Ganton Community Church, Rev. Glen Fretz, of London taught from Phil 4:1-9. His message was entitled "Keys to a harmonious life." First we must recognize Jesus as the source of harmony in our home, our work, and our church, If there is a disagreement both individuals involved have a responsibility before God to forgive one another. So that the body can function harmoniously. When we let Christ have His way in our lives He produces character traits in us such as unending love, unfailing joy, untiring selflessness, and unruffled peace. These characteristics result in a life full of honorable and true thoughts, which lead to pure actions.
