New year brings good news for farmers
Letter to the editor
January
Americans announced a
decision to re-open the United
States border to Canadian
THE EDITOR,
I am writing to you at this
time because there is another
project concerning our
veterans that needs attention
immediately.
My project is to write about
the men and women of Huron
County who served this
country and did not come
back home to Canada. As
well, I want to speak to our
remaining veterans and
compile their stories.
My goal is to speak to as
many veterans as possible, to
speak to the families, to
obtain their military histories,
to obtain letters from
overseas, to gather poems and
to find out where our men are
buried.
All the information
gathered will then be
compiled in a format that can
be provided to our schools,
libraries and museums. As
well, we will offer it to
service clubs, businesses and
the general public upon
completion.
This will not be a six-
month nor a one-year project,
but may take years to
complete. I am willing
to begin this project and to
do so in a professional
manner.
If we don't do this now, it
can never be started because
shortly we will have nothing
but memories.
The Huron County
Museum is interested in
assisting, as is the Huron
County Library, and with the
help of the public this is a
very doable and worthwhile
project.
To get things rolling, there
will be a public meeting at the
museum in Goderich on
Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 7 p.m.
with a snow date for one
week later. I have asked Eric
Heywood of Exeter to join us.
He has worked on something
similar in the south of the
county
It. is my understanding that
there 'are monies available
through the Trillium
Foundation. I hope to form an
executive committee at the
upcoming meeting to pursue
cattle.. Brussels-area producer
Ross Procter said the
announcement was the most
positive information
Canadian beef producers had
such funding.
If anyone would like to take
part in this exciting and vital
project, please consider
attending the meeting in
received to date.
An 81-year old Huron East
man died as the result of a
two-vehicle collision.

Very respectfully yours,

Blyth firefighters assisted at
the scene of a single-vehicle
crash in the early afternoon of
Jan. 21, on Blyth Road just
east of Auburn. According to
the police, the driver of the
eastbound Pontiac had fallen
asleep behind the wheel. Her
car left the roadway and
struck a tree. She was taken to
hospital and then released.
Huron East met with county
librarian Beth Ross to discuss
a recommendation to explore
options in making the
