(Photo by Mike Willtscraft) Friends and family of Frank Sullivan who gathered to honor his 100th birthday last Sunday in Kingsbridge had another reason to celebrate as it was also his god- daughter's birthday. The catch is it was 89 years apart as both he and Elizabeth Dalton were born July 25. Frank's great grandfather's family represented some of the area's first set- tlers when they arrived from Tralee, Coun- ty Kerry, Ireland by way of Syracuse, New York. Born the sixth child in a family of eight (four boys and four girls), Frank is the last surviving member. He still remembers the building of the church, St. Joseph's Parish, where the celebration was held. He had his first com- munion at the church which was built in 1905. Frank is not sure what he owes his longevity to but friends say, "it's because he liked to walk." In all his 100 years he has never owned or driven a car. Ontario farmers can add to their income Vacationers can add to farm income Ontario farmers are discovering. that operating vacation farms offer some real financial benefits, and can bea source of a valid second income. Many farmers are unaware that this alternative method for earning extra cash even exists. But it is an interesting "alter- native" when working away from the farm often difficult because animal husbandry demands prevent it. And yet farmers have something to offer their urban counterparts - the quiet and natural environment that surrounds their rural homes. The 95 members of the On- tario Vacation Farm Association are glad they discovered the farm vacation business - it allows them to meet people and share their rural life style while re- maining on the farm. The Ontario Vacation Farm Association encourages a better understanding bet- ween urban and rural people. For ur- banites it's a chance to learn about farm life and the work involved in food produc- tion. For vacation hosts its a chance to ex- change ideas and learn about other careers, and other parts of Canada and the world. This year OVFA is operating in its 11th year as an independent organization with 95 host families. Applications to become farm hosts are now being accepted for the 1989 season.
