Could cost $30,000 in 1979 • Discuss ball diamond prospects Following a request from the South Huron Recreation Centre Board the grounds committee.. has. made basically the same recommendations with regards -to ball playing facilities within the town as .– it had previously. - Jim Deblock appeared before the board Monday with some rough cost estimates for the relocation %of the existing diamond and the construction of another facility. Renovations to the existing .diamond which would be moved to the east could cost around S21.000 with the biggest chunk of that ex- pense $15.000. going towards the purchase of new lighting. • Deblock said this diamond should have as its primary use softball with between 500 and 700 area residents .now playing -the sport • The second diamond which could be located to the east end of the grandstand would be a combination softball • and baseball diamond. Lighting for this facility would not 'have to be in - .stalled. .immediately n- .stalled..immediately but . when it is installed the cost could rApge between $15,000 and SI0. he said. Deblock -recommended that the item that should be given the highest priority would be the draining of the playing fields at a cost of S7.000 for the seven acres that the two outfields would encompass. In the grounds report presented to the board in the -spring it _had been recom- ,mended that the• entire community park be drained: - He said the committee has changed its mind on the grandstand and the remnant of the race track with both faciit ies staying. During the discussion-. a question came up as to -whether the provision of a soccer field was stir' being included in the park's development. Deblock replied in the affirmative. Chairman of the board Bob Down added another twist to the possible use the grounds with it being .Down's un- derstanding that the Mid Western Horse Show might .be. requesting some type of a permanent ring. • Mayor Bruce Shaw asked if it was not possiblae that such a ring could be - ac- commodated to the south of the grandstand. Al Sinclair of the ministry of culture and recreation who was in attendance on artottter matter, questioned (he need of a permanent facility_ pointing- the ex- cellent facility which the Exeter Saddle club now has south of Huron Park. Getting back to the grounds • committee recommendations. Down said the board was talking about a total expenditure of approximately: S30.000 in 1979 to have two ball diamonds and one lighting system operative. Sinclair said it's going to be more difficult to secure • Wtntario funds for capital projects such as ball diamonds with a feasibility study now being required when an application for funding is submitted. Another point which Cattlemen angry over subsidy loss headers of the Canadian Cattlemen's' Association have reacted with anger to news that there will be no federal government subsidy to offset losses last year. Stu Brown of Sheddon, - pre$ident of the association, criticized the federal government for lacking "the nerve" to announce its deci- sion earlier. The decision, still not an.. nounced officially. was con- veyed in a letter from Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan to the association The letter received last week, was a reply to the organization which asked about the subsidy. Both Brown and Alex Connell of Palmerston. president of the Ontario association. criticized the federal government for making payments on a quarterly basis last year. but not this year. Had the calculations been quarterly, there would have been a hefty subsidy for cat- tle marketed in the first half of the year. they said. The subsidy for the final quarter of 1976 was $2.98 a hundredweight and Brown noted that market prices declined by an average of $1.40 a hundredweight in the first. quarter of 1977 "and were little different in the Sinclair stressed is that it second quarter " would be a good idea to get a On the basis. the subsidy commitment from the most . farmers anticipated various ball groups for the upkeep of the diamonds. The board instructed Rec Administrator Kirk Arm- strong to have further csnsultations with the grounds committee. Exeter will be the host for area recreation. conference sometime before December In a discussion between Don Graff. a professional conference organizer. Sinclair and the hoard. plans were laid for the holding of a conference involving recreation groups and councils of. Stephen. Hay. Usborne and Exeter. Following this meeting, a recreation conference open to the general public would be held in 1979. «l)/uncoo/t moll We're one for alt ALL,v011! w• t pe•ft Slu.rriay to m a 1 I e ,t, tr.

Crediton 234-6382 was in the $4.50 per hun- dredweight range.- or close to $50 per market -weight steer. The federal government reckoned its 1976 subsidy. had all farmers applied. would total $45 million. The letter from Whelan to •the Ontario association boil- ed down to the fact that there will be no subsidy for 1977. according to secretary - manager Graeme Hedley. - The federal government issued statistics this week as part of its weekly livestock market report which amounted to the same news as Whelan's letter. The statistics for the first time revealed the federal government's calculations of the five-year average price $42.78 a hun- dredweight; and the previous five-year average cost of production — $36.88 per hundredweight. It showed the 1977 weighted average national price at $40.19. The law demands that prices be supported at no less than 90 per cent of previous five-year average (in this case $38.43) adjusted to reflect increases in production costs over the previous five-year average. The 1977 production costs figure is missing' from the figures released in the government report. Both Connell and Brown repeated lobbying positions taken by their associations that the subsidy formula should be public so farmers can make production and marketing plans with some confidence about the government's com- mitments.

T -A photo Zurich greenhouse may be installed next week According to a spokesman for the Bluewater Solar Greenhouse group, the unit which they have ordered could be installed as early as next week. Wellwodd Gill; one of the ten directors for the Solar greenhouse group said the greenhouse which was ordered from Hot field Systems of Lindsay was. scheduled ,to be shipped during the first week of October. The unit which is 10 feet by twelve feet • and is worth 32.400 will be located to the east side of therest home so as to facilitate easier maintenance of -the unit. As a _ supplementary source, of warmth . when extremely cold tem- peratures occur, electrical heating will automatically cut in. Gill stated. Credit for the original idea for the procurement of the unit should go to., the late Anthony DeBosdari. Gill said, with DeBosdari and other directors of the group investigating other simil installations. Gilt stated that the greenhouse is for use by both/ Maplewoods and Blue Water resident with the residents of - the two buildings "Hopefully developing a green thumb." While- the intent of the project was never to make money Gilt stated, there should be some savings involved as the seedlings for the many plants that enhance both Maplewoods and the -rest home will be grown in the greenhouse. In addition to the growing of flowers, residents of Maplewoods who ,have a garden at the apartments could begin the growth of their vegetables earlier, Gill stated. Earlier. it had been an- nounced by the federal department of health and welfare that the group had received a grant totaling 33.475.. The funds over and above' the unit's purchase _. price will be used for its installation. Gill said.
