6 THE RURAL VOICE
EDITOR'S DESK
The closing of summer heralds the
beginning of the fall fair season and
brings with it some of the finest com-
munity events of the year. This month
we feature the Dungannon Tractor
Pull and the Zurich Bean Festival as
caught by Rural Voice photographers.
Looking at the community from a
different perspective, we have two fea-
tures. In the first, writer Joseph
Howlett shares the experiences and
concerns of John King, rural life
worker for the United Church's
London Conference. King, while
optimistic about the future of Cana-
dian farming, notes that his job is
occasionally made more difficult by
the fact that farmers, as a breed, are
proud and independent, and often will
not seek support from their commu-
nity or church.
In our second feature, we talk to
Lydia Kidd of Women's House of
Bruce County. She too is trying to
overcome the hesitancy of people in
need to ask for help. Women's House
offers temporary shelter and continu-
ing support to women and children
who are victims of family violence.
As Kidd says, the subject is not
pleasant, but it is critical that we not
ignore it.
On different ground entirely,
writer Rhea Hamilton -Seeger brings
back news of deer farming in New
Zealand, and talks to an Ontario
farmer who is promoting the raising
and sale of venison. Deer farming,
says Eugen Hutka, has great potential
in Ontario.
Best wishes for the harvest
