READY WITH SAUSAGES — Mike Stewart, Tracey Coward and Kim Prance were

United Church. T -A photo
The summer wanes yet the
Equinox is still more than a
month away.
August is a crazy month.
The summer lingers in some
areas yet autumn rears its
lovely head at almost every
turn. As a youngster in Vic-
toria County, the last days of
August were frantic because
summer ended when school
started. All the plans made
for the summer had somehow
been forgotten in the euphoria
of July so we made great ef-
forts to do everything before
Labor Day. .
Hastily planned camping
trips along the shores of the
Scttgog _River :and , into
Sturgeon Lake were taken.
We used canoes in those days.
No fancy power boats. Not
even decent tents. We called
them pup tents: a small tent
big enough for two kids. No
sleeping bags then, either;
just a couple of blankets and
perhaps a homemade quilt.
One year, a family from
New York State invaded a
favorite camping site on
Balsam Lake in a little bay
near Fenelon Falls. The boy
of the family had a sleeping
bag and we thought he was a
sissy -
Our camping trips started
on a Friday and ended Sun-
day. They were tough times
and nobody took extended
holidays during the latter
years of the Great Depression
and the early years of war
My father worked for 13 years
and never got a vacation. And
he worked from 7 a.m. to 6
p.m., six days a week, too.
Youngsters were expected
to get a summer job and help
out when school started. If
young people think a summer
job is difficult to get these
days. they should have been

trying to get work in the late
'30s and early '40s.
On the bays and inlets of the
rivers and lakes, the algae
was thick on the water in
August. The swallows were
busy feeding in flight.
Dragonflies and damsel flies
would follow our canoes along
the river. I think they were
still laying eggs in August,
dipping tfieir abdomens in the
water. Fish did not bite well
and you had to know the deep
holes in the lakes to get a
muskie.
Along the riverbanks, the
cowbirds were getting
restless, preparing for their
Flights south yet the hot,ltazy
August sun fooled us into
thinking the summer would
last forever. The orioles were
still around and still singing
but the robins sang less and
scolded everyone, restless for
their trip to warmer climes.
The first time I ever saw an
indigo bunting was on a cam-
ping trip one weekend with
my father. He had asked for
an extra day Off work and we
left in an old Essex car to
camp -and -canoe along
Cameron Lake in the Kawar-
thas, long before every foot of
Lakeshore property was
privately owned.
I thought it was a bluebird
but Dad soon set me straight.
I think it was the glimmer of
1938. Dad sal in the stern of
the canoe and I was the
bowman. I can see the
goldenrod in bloom on the
meadows even today and my
father chuckling as he pointed
out the clumsy antics of a
great blue heron, startled by
our silent approach, flapping
into the air trailing its long
legs as it flew down the
Lakeshore.
The war clouds were form -
LUCKY WINNER: Norm Hodgins was the Ontario winner of a draw sponsored by IN-
TERNATIONAL HARVESTER GIVES YOU THE EDGE PROGRAM. He won FREE use of an
International Harvester Model 5488 A.W.D. tractor for a period of 6 months. The trac-
tor was supplied by V.L. Becker 8 Sons, Dashwood. Shown here are I.H. Represen-
tative Ted Jones, winner Norm Hodgins and local I.H. dealer Bill Becker.
ing and the simple, un-
complicated days of
childhood were coming to a
close.
We camped on our favorite
spot on Cameron Lake, an in-
let -with a sandy beach and a
clearing. I remember admir-
ing my father's ability to get
out of the canoe and pull it up
on the bank in one long,
graceful stride. We pitched
our little tent and he made
flapjacks on a small camp-
fire. Nothing in a restaurant
ever tasted as good.
Twenty years later, I took
my young family back to that
same cove by boat. It was
private property, festooned
with fancy cottages.
We had to get permission to
stay on the "lawn" for the
night.
The summer wanes and
times do change.
oi( Agriculture and Food,
earlier this year.
Outlined below are a few of
the details concerning the
types of assistance available
to cow -calf and
stocker/slaughter producers
if they participate in the Red
Meat Management Groups.
All cow -calf producers
should identifytheir cows and
calves so they can participate
in the performance testing
under the beef herd improve-
ment program. Producers
will receive $25 per weaning
weight and $20 per yearling
weight for heifers. Eligible.
producers will also be able to
receive a $1,500 grant for
capital facilities and further
assistance will be available
for herd health, calf precon-
ditioning, forage analysis and
enterprise analysis.
Under the
stocker/slaughter portion of
the program, producers will
have to weigh cattle at one to
two month intervals and
belong to the management
club to be eligible for
assistance. A grant of $2 per
weight to a maximum of $750
per year will be available to
producers.
As well, eligible producers
can get further assistance for
capital facilities, forage
testing, herd health, and
enterprise analysis. To assist
producers in Huron and Perth
Counties with this program,
James Reesor of Unionville
has been hired. James
graduated from O.A.C. in 1980
with a degree in Agricultural
Economics. Since graduation
he has worked as the assis-
tant manager for a Livestock
Feed Company in Markham.
Further information can be
obtained by calling James in
Stratford at 1-800-265-8502 or
the Clinton OMAF Office at
1-800-265-7044 or 482-3428.
