Skipping helps foundation Kids had lot of heart Thursday evening, the Huron County Chapter of On- tario Ileart Foundation met for their annual meeting in the dining room at i furonview. It was well attended by sup- porters and their guests, and preceded by an excellent meal provided by friends of the 'Heart'. the Legion Ladies' Auxiliary branches 140 and 109, and the staff of Huronview. Generous con- tributions from local mer- chants formed the basis of the repast. Bruce Shaw, Mayor of Ex- eter and president of the Chapter, welcomed the guests and reported on the first year's activities, which he said. had proved an un- qualified success. The in- troduction of a fund-raising educational activity - 'Jump Rope' - had realized many thousands of dollars,. and in addition to raising funds for heart sufferers, enabled the board of directors to bring to the notice of the public the necessity for adopting preventative measures in order to promote good health and longer life. The report of the treasurer, Lloyd Rowat, endorsed these remarks, especially when he announced that the total receipts of $86,552 was made up of $31,453 in ordinary dona- tions, $20,060 In Memoriam donations and $35,033 from the 'Jump Rope' programme. It was, he said, gratifying to know that this was the third highest percentage in all the 62 chapters in the Province and had received Honourable Mention in the Foundation's latest newsletter. Campaign Chairman, Pat Whalen, thanked the 700 volunteers and 35 campaign captains, who, had not only achieved an' objective of $30,000, but surpassed it by some $2000. Looking to the future, he said that plans for Stephen council Continued from front page tion is being booked.

'The Jump Rope' project was described by Don Young as having skipped its way to an overwhelming success. 1280 students from 14 elemen- tary schools had participated. Implemented through the physical education cur- riculum, the program had re- introduced the old skill of skipping. but in a new way. Not only had the scheme rais- ed considerable funds, but it had proved an enjoyable challenge, which could be ac- cepted by a wide age range. The result of the students enthusiastic response was demonstrated by pledges amounting to $35,000, and in return, they too had re.eived rewards in the iorm of per- sonal incentive gifts. Thanking the teachers and students for their support, Young said that plans for 1984 promise even greater par- ticipation, as indicated by the promised support of other school boards in Huron Coun- ty and Huron -Perth.

Huron County, he said, now had four instructors, but more were required in order to maintain the program and en- sure its future as an on-going venture. On behalf of the nominating committee, Gordon Baxter presented the slate of officers. The present directors had agreed to retain their offices for a further year and two fur- ther appointments had been made Mrs. Marian Zinn of Ashfield and Iry Armstrong of Exeter. The publicity committee. initiated in November 1982. had been chaired by Stan Con- elly, who expressed his thanks to the Clinton News Record, the Exeter Times Ad- vocate, the Seaforth Huron Expositor, Wingham Ad- vance Times and Goderich Signal Star as well as CKNX radio and TV. Support at the commencement of the cam- paign had been of particular assistance in getting things off to a good start.

It was, he stressed, the personal responsibility of the community as a whole to concern itself with heart con- ditions and the causes. Most important was the contribution which each in- dividual had to contribute towards the educational aspects it was no good just setting out to cope with the results of ill health if a deter- mined effort was not also made to counteract a life style which encouraged it. Concern and example were essential if these concepts were to be achieved in a positive way. Thanking him Dr. Ray Flowers expressed the ap- preciation of all present, and as an example of the way in which the Huron Chapter was pursuing its objectives. presented Father Nelligan with a skipping rope! Times -Advocate, October 12, 1983 Page 3 Huron yields vary widely for bean, corn harvest The white bean crop is almost completely off in Huron county now. The yield spread was quite wide across the county, varying from seven to 35 bushels per acre. The summer drought af- fected some fields, and some farmers in the northern end of the county • growing beans for the first time obtained higher yields that did others in the traditional bean - growing area around Hensall and Zurich. The soybean harvest has begun, and Stan Paquette at the Clinton OMAF office said yields "are looking quite good." His guesstimate would be 30 to 35 bushels per acre. The grain and silage corn harvest now underway is also proving variable; some areas were adversely affected by the same drought that lowered the white bean expec- tations. Instead of 90 plus in grain corn, Paquette expects growers will take off an average of 75 to 80 bushels per acre. and the silage corn may weigh out at 10 to 12 tons per acre instead of the hoped-for 12 to 14, but he cautions that it is too early to tell yet. A big winter wheat acreage is going in this year. The de- mand for newer varieties such as Augusta and Frankenmuth, which both promise higher yields and better resistance to lodging, have been so great that some dealers are sold out. When asked to gaze into his crystal ball and sum up the 1983 harvest in Huron, Pa- quette said white beans and fall wheat will likely show a better than average yield, and spring grain and corn will be below the line. Speaking from the London Ohi:',F office, John Schleihauf said Middlesex county had en- countered the same problems as Huron with the wet spring and following drought. Yields of white beans are down, though the quality is good. Some late -planted fields not yet harvested "look rough." The yield variation is as marked in Middlesex as it is in Huron. The soybean harvest has begun, with some early fields returning 40 to 50 bushels to the acre. Schleihauf warned there will also be some very poor yields. The silage corn harvest is well underway. Growers are finding the volum, is average, with a great deal of vegetative growth, but the quality is not as good as previous years. The grain corn still has a high moisture content, and Schleihauf estimates the smaller, poorly -filled cobs will reduce the yield by 10 percent. Again, the quality varies from field to field and farm to farm. Middlesex corn producers are looking for a good hard frost to dry out the stalks and leaves, and allow the air to get at the cobs. The winter wheat crop is regarded as average in yield, and of good quality, with no sprouting. Yields of spring grain were down, as was the total acreage. The late, wet spring prevented some farmers from planting any spring grain this year. Summing up, $chleihauf said the majority of the crops in his county were average or slightly below previous years.
