(Photo by Janson Ainslie] This year, hqwever, the Kings bridge area has a new outlet, called Kings View Farms, from which fresh vegetables can be bought. The farm is owned and operated by Clete and Mary Louise Dalton and their .children Jennifer, Ray, Cathy and John. It is the first year that they have sold vegetables from the farm, but they plan to expand the businesi to include every sort of vegetable and some fruit. So far, corn has been the biggest demand, and the Daltons have been selling it for about two weeks. "We've sold about a, thousand dozen cobs of corn," Clete Dalton said: "That's about four truckloads." Tomatoes are still ripening, but when they are ready for market, the season should hold out until mid- September. And there are potatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beets and every other edible vegetable for sale. The Daltons look forward to next year's season when they will have many acres of strawberries. ,At present, Mr. Dalton has two students hired to help him and his family, although he would like to encourage his customers to pick their own vegetables. Dalton said that his operation will cater to the cottagerS in the area who don't have time to' plant and tend gardens of their own. For this trade, he said that his 1981' selling season will begin sometime in June and last until September. 'The . Daltons held their grand opening last Friday, when all prices were reduced to half. Normally, vegetable prices are calculated according to the Toronto Market ' Wholesale prices. The -Kings View farm, located one mile north and one mile east of Kingsbridge, is open for business seven days a week.

Honesty appreciated It's nice to know that there are still some truly honest people 'around. On Monday morning, a wallet was found on the Sentinel office floor after a finder picked it up on the street and put it through the mail slot. This finder ignored the large amount of cash and several 'Credit cards in the Kitchener man's wallet, much to the appreciation of the loser. Whoever you are, we're glad you live in Lucknow.
