Young, who was arrested by Exeter police in Sudbury, was sentenced to the jail term by Judge W.G.Cochrane who ordered that it be concurrent with a present sentence of 10 days which the accused was serving for possession of stolen property. The court learned that Young found a government cheque in the amount of $462.96 which had been placed in his post office box by error. It was intended for another person with the same surname. A friend of the accused had him sign the cheque and the friend got the money, not Young. In what he described as a "horrendous" act, Judge A very successful Haist Family Reunion was held Sunday, August 31st at the Ausable Conservation Park at Crediton with a good at- tendance. The highlight was the surprise attendance of six German Haist relatives from Baiersbrount, • Germ- any touring Canada and United States. Others where attending from Pigeon, Michigan, Foothill, Pelham and Toronto area as well as many local. Marion Frayne acting president was assisted by Helen Wasnidge, Linda and Cochrane fined Glenn ,William Rhode, RR 1 Woodham, $500 or 50 days on a charge of assault. The charge arose from an incident on May 31 when two cars were parked in the middle of a concession road in the area and they prevented a third vehicle from getting past them. There were several men in the two cars and they just laughed at the occupants of the third vehicle. The ac- cused took the keys from the ignition of the third car and assaulted the driver by pushing and shoving him. There were two children and a woman in the third vehicle and the court learned the children became frightened over the incident and were crying. Rhode, who had a previous conviction for causing a disturbance, was given 60 days in which to pay the fine. Carmen Douglas Cable, RR 2 Centralia, was fined Bill Russell conducted sports for the younger set and in- cluded kick the slipper and Frisbee throw for both men and women. Bingo was also enjoyed by most in at- tendance. Everett and Sophia Haist each received a prize for oldest lady and gent present. Coming the farthest distance went to Ferdinand Haist and family of Baiersbrount, Germany. Guessing candies in a jar also went to Fer- dinand Haist. Next year the reunion will be held in Pelham with those folks hosting it. $300 or 30 days after pleading guilty to a charge of careless handling of firearm. The accused had been drinking, became angry and. distraught, and threatened) his wife and children with a . firearm, The court was told that the June 14 incident was totally out of character for the accused and that he was steadily employed an had made a complete recon- ciliation. The judge prohibited the accused from having firearms or explosives for five years and that the firearms that belonged to his wife were to be sold, A fine of $100 or 10 days was imposed on Harry Plantenga, Huron Park, on a charge of driving while disqualified. He was stopped for speeding on August 14 and the police determined that he had been disqualified for unpaid fines. He was given a further suspension of three months and given 30 days to pay. Randy James Buuck, RR 4 Seaforth, was convicted on a charge of theft and fined $100 or 10 days. He was charged on July 10 after taking a drill from the back of a pickup truck. It was agreed that the crime was due to the accused having been drinking. In the only other case on Tuesday's docket, Edward James Neeb, Zurich, was given a conditional discharge on a charge of possession of marijuana. His mother found a plastic bag with a small amount of marijuana on August 9 and called police. The court learned the parents of the accused had forbidden him to associate with anyone involved with drugs and made him obtain a job. He is now employed. Ay RHEA HAMILTON Huron County Federation of Agriculture members. haVe called for the. resignation of Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, Lorne Henderson. Federation members pasS.- ed the resolution at their meeting Thursday after ex- pressing concern about the growing total of foreign ownership of farm land in the county, New kits available The Ausable-13ayfield Conservation Authority, in co-operation with watershed school boards, has recently released a series of Outdoor Education kits to various media centers. The kits are suitable for all grades, and contain all the materials necessary for a teacher to instruct his students on various methods of forest management for flood and drought control. Included within the kit are posters, texts, exercises, references, booklets, brochures and even a slide show to illustrate to students why forests should be managed and conserved, Teachers in Huron County can borrow the kits from,: 1) The Huron-Perth County Separate School Board Box 70 Dublin, Ontario and the 2) The Huron County Board of Education Media Center 103 Albert Street Clinton, Ontario. This is a free service provided to all school boards as part of the Outdoor Education program of the Ausable-Bayfield Conserv- ation Authority. There are also kits available at Authority headquarters at 175 Thames Rd. W., Exeter (235-2610) for all interested groups to borrow free of charge for a period of three weeks. Enrolment takes drop The Huron-Perth County Catholic school board reports enrollment is down this school term by 19 students or 0.7 per cent. William Eckert. director of education with the board, stated at Monday's board meeting that in the 19 schools in the system there was an enrollment drop of 27 students in the 10 Huron schools and an increase of eight students in' the nine Perth schools. On opening .day on September 2 enrollment was 2623, down from the 2642 students who enrolled one year ago. Mr. Eckert called it a moderate decline as it had been predicted that there would be 36 fewer students on opening day in September. He said that kindergarten registrations increased more rapidly this September than was ex- pected. In Perth. at St. Patrick's school, Dublin. enrollment this year is 209, up 11 students over 1979; St. Patrick's, Kinkora, 134, down one student; Holy Name 'of Mary, St. Marys 188, up eight students; St. Mary's, Hesson, 102 down 12 students; Immaculate Conception.

Unable to hire a speech pathologist this year, the board will hire a speech cor- rection teacher for the current school year to main- tain the board's, special speech program. The posi- tion became vacant When Christine Kelly resigned in June to accept a position in the Ottawa area. In spite of extensive advertising no suitable applicant responded as there are few trained speech pathologists around according to Mr. Eckert. Land soles indicate the foreign ownership problem. isn't -solved, and members warned the minister isn't concerned enough with the problem to do anything about, it. John Van Beers presented .motion demanding the resignation, of the minister unless he stop the callous and, disastrous use of the land, The motion met with little opposition.

The result is an economical fertilizer that enriches the soil and utilizes waste material, avoiding ex- pensive petroleum products. The project is not something restricted to the Colborne area but the beginning of a much larger project farmers across the country could be working on. Les Emery, chairman of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture's energy committee and regional director from Nor- thumberland county, offered energy saving ideas to Huron county farmers at the Huron Federation meeting Thur- sday night. Mr. Emery is involved in developing economical systems of producing alcohol from agricultural products and utilizing waste material. The project he outlined is called "Agpro" and was initiated by 30 farmers in the Colborne area. Mr. Emery stressed the power behind farmers who act as a group as opposed to those who fight alone. After many , studies the group invested $10,000 each (less than they spend in fertilizer every year) and built a specially designed recycling .. plant for municipal ,wastes. The garbage is sorted and metals and glass are sorted and sold to recycling depots. The rest of the waste is beaten with water until the organics are emulsified. Ethyl for fuel The plant takes in waste "After looking at all the from food processing plants, data there is no fuel that can farm wastes (eggs, manure) compete with ethyl alcohol.", and sewage sludge. The said Mr. Emery. emulsified organics are "Right now we are not composted and the end result paying the full price for gas, is a no smell, organic, Mr. Emery said. Despite the balanced fertilizer that can government subsidies the not only feed your crops but debt over fuel is getting enrich your land. greater every day, Mr. Mr. Emery pointed out Emery believes that the that recent studies in olution lies with the farming Manitoba have shown the s community which can land to be sterile in some localities due to the chemical fertilizers that have been used. The groups studying the land have been unable to locate any earthworms or organics. The hard land takes up to three times normal horsepower to work up. The waste in fuels and money is enormous. In Ontario the same problem is being discovered in Kent county and the Ottawa valley. The nitrogen that is applied at 100 pounds per acre is all but washed away. The plants get 25 percent said Mr. Emery. The nitrogen in the Won't enter fair contest By DAVE WOODWARD South Huron's student council elected to ignore tradition and has refused to place an entrant in this year's Queen Contest at the Exeter Fall Fair. Council president Doug Raymond stated that he is opposed to the principle of a girl being "paraded around", (like a sex object?) Moreover, he feels that having a participant in the fair would be inconsistent With the precedent set by last year's abolition of the formal queen. It must be noted that the council is not attempting to treat the local fair with dis- dain. Raymond's suggestion to set up a booth of some sort in order to show our school's support for the annual event is evidence against such an assumption. The council simply believes that following the precedent set by last year's administration is more im- portant than tradition. foreign ownership. The RDOP is presently involved in the second phase of the study, looking at the effect of foreign ownership on com- munities. The first phase was presented to federation members IaSt June when it was disclosed that .95 per cent of the county's land was owned by people living out- side the country. The federation members also passed a resolution ask- ing that the OFA and county groups form a liaison com- mittee to gather information concerning membership drives and ideas for in- teresting meeting tepics. The committee would evaluate topics and make in- produce enough goods to use fuel. Crops high in sugar con- tent would be utilized in a distilling plant to manufacture ethyl alcohol, "It is not necessary to divert food stuffs" said Mr. Emery. "Corn is too ex- pensive to grow and doesn't contain enough sugar (starch base). Products like sugar beets or artichokes and wastes from food processing plants could be used", Some farmers now are gearing up for alcohol plants. In Manitoba a firm has already started up its own fuel alcohol plant and expects to have 15 to 20 outlets open this fall. Ladies have a night out Friday, October 17 will offer the women of Exeter and surrounding area a new type of entertainment. Called "Lucky 13 - Ladies Night Out" The evening,. sponsored by Xi Gamma Nu Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi - will offer a full evening of en- tertainment. A full course meal followed by a fashion show will open the "Night Out" , Fashion show co-ordinator Glenda Wagner has brought together the Mainway merchants to present fashions, and accessories for fall. Other entertainment and surprises are' also planned. Dorcas Wein and her committee are busy collecting merchandise prizes for the elimination draw which will also include cash awards. Following the program a mini "Monte Carlo" night will be held under chair- woman Lynda Deelstra. A craft display called "stit- chery plus" will also present homemade fashions for browsing or purchase. formation for meetings available to county organizations through the OFA. In other business. regional directors and delegates to the OFA convention Nov. 24 to 27 were elected. The delegates are Jim McIntosh, director and delegates Harry Swinkels, Jack. Teb- butt and Walter McIlwain from West Central; director John Nesbitt and delegates Mery Smith. John Van Beers and. Maurice Bean from East Central Huron; Andre Durand, director and delegates Albert Erb, Paul Klopp and Andy Wykoski from South Huron; Gerry Fortune, director and delegates Deanne Dickson, Brian.

Members were also ad- vised at the meeting that Haist clan unite at Crediton park composted fertilizer is in an organic farm which the plants have processed them- selves. To this new product 1,000 ton was sent to the Hamilton and Niagara districts. In the Colborne area where the fertilizer was used the corn grew to a record of 12 feet, Mr. Emery reported. The group is working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food monitoring the crops and soil conditions. The Ministry of the Enviroment is keeping tabs on the studies as well. "There will be no need for land fill sites" said Mr. Emery. "It will be wor- thwhile to dig up the old dump sites and reprocess the garbage." At present the municipality dumping waste at the plant pays a tipping fee which pays for operating the plant and-still costs the municipality less than a disposal site. Farmers have ownership of the fertilizer plant and can fertilize their land for a fraction of the usual cost. Mr. Emery stressed the advantages of compost fertilizer over manure ap- plication. Compost ap- plication has no weed seeds, spreads evenly, and there are no restrictions on what time of year it should be' applied. When questioned about heavy metals, Mr. Emery said,that there is no problem unless the plant starts dealing with industrial wastes. Cooperation pays off for Colborne farmers Tony McQuail is organizing a seminar on energy and anyone interested in par- ticipating is asked to contact him, Dart loop underway Regular play in the ever popular Exeter Legion Mixed dart league started Friday night.
