Group plans
local concert
The board of directors of
Town and Country
Homemakers held their
regular monthly meeting at
the home of Gwyn Whilsmith
where members enjoyed a
lovely lunch on the shores of
St. Joseph.
Tickets were distributed to
each member for "Japanese
Cuisine" to be held in Sep-
tember. It was reported that
the spring bulbs should be
available for sale at this
event.
The committee from the
north end of the county
reported that plans are
underway for a variety
concert featuring good local
entertainment to be held in
October at the F.E. Madill
Secondary School in
Wingham. Hopefully this
"may be an annual fund-
raising event with
everything from music to
comedy" says Bev Brown,
chairman of the board.
Executive director, Jean
Young informed the board
that to date, $16,002. has been
raised for the building fund,
for the office on Victoria
Street.
In an effort to hold its
meeting on a rotation basis
throughout the county, the
next regular board meeting
is tentatively planned for
September 23, in Exeter.
Scotland from York to
Strontian and visited
relatives in Greenock and
Jim's birthplace at
Rothesay. Jim relived
scenes of his boyhood around
the lochs at Strontian where
he lived from the age of six
until he came to Canada in
1928.
They visited Jim's three
foster sisters, two of whom
are in a nursing home. It was
a happy reunion, and just in
time, as one of them died two
days before they left for
home.
Other highlights of their
visit were seeing Princess
Grace of Monaco open the
National Rose Show;
beautiful Blenheim Palace
where Winston Churchill was
born and the lovely grounds
which surrounded it; York -
minister Cathedral; staying
with their cousins who live in
a chalet in Kilburny; the
band tattoo, parade and
concert at Largs; and on the
last night of their trip, the
Fiddler's Jamboree at Largs
which featured a wonderful
group of musicians who have
entertained royality on
many occasions. This band is
made up of 28 violins, plus
bass fiddles, cellos, ac-
cordions, piano and drums
and sounds like bagpipes
playing.
They saw so much,
covering 3,000 miles in the
month, that Madeline says it
will take some time toTecall
everything.
Park fun day

coaches held a family fun
day at the park for the
Stanley Township kids and
their families on Sunday

against their mothers and
fathers. The midget girls

midget boys the Steamers.
The Orange Lodge presented
ball sweaters to the Squirt

Staying put
(IDRC) - Indonesia has
worked out a new program
to resolve one of the most
difficult of development
and environment problems.
The country has more
than one million migrant
farmers who use slash -and -
burn techniques on some 10
million hectares of land.
The practice, which invol.
ves buying off competing
vegetation, farming until
the soil is exhausted, then
moving on, ruins about
400,000 hectares of land
every year.
Instead of trying to shift
the migrants to permanent
settlements, Indonesia is
encouraging them to stay
on the land they open.
Starts FRIDAY!

Small subsidies and seed-

granted for two years. At
the end of four years, the
land legally belongs to the
tiller.
Staying put and manag-
ing carefully becomesmore
attractive than destroying
and moving. The govern-
ment estimates the cost is
less than one-sixth of con-
ventional settlement.
