HELM WELDING LIMITED 1/2 mile south of Lucknow 519-529-7627 2 THE RURAL VOICE EDITOR'S DESK Listening to our readers and our advertisers is one of the pleasures at the Rural Voice. For example, many advertisers, particularly our equipment dealers, have indicated that they would prefer their advertisement placed in a special section with other equipment dealers. Readers, seriously interested in purchasing equipment, have suggested that advertisements be grouped together so they can compare quality, brands, and price. Thus, "Calling All Farmers" was created (starting on page 69). Advertisers still have the option of having a display ad in another part of the magazine as well. The Rural Voice is pleased to announce the addition of Richard McNamara as part of the News Network. He will be gathering stories from the Stratford area. Richard is an ODHIC super- visor and has been involved with farming and the agricultural in- dustry and is well-known in the area. He has two news articles in this issue and he's already com- piled a list of events he would like to cover next month. We welcome Richard to The Rural Voice. This issue: Everyone has a dif- ferent reason for preserving the Bruce Peninsula the way it is — the conservationists, to protect the natural area; tourist operators to promote their industry; and many residents, to protect their way of life. The federal and pro- vincial governments are now negotiating the future of the Bruce as a possible site for a na- tional park. Andrew Dixon is back to tell readers about schooling in a rural community when he was young, and there's a story on the best way to sow fall wheat with fer- tilizer. Plus, all the regular features. See you n xt month.
