Maitland and the 16th
by Milena Lobb
Not so long ago we were
crying for HOT weather
which we have, and now
we are crying for rain. I
tried my best to bring the
rain with me from
Calgary but no luck.
On Monday July 3
Susan and I left for the
West via the USA and we
had nice warm travelling
weath€r all the way to
Medicine Hat, Alta.
where the clouds were, so
low you felt you could
touch them. It rained and
I do mean rained also
there was a bit of hail. We
had been rather lucky in
missing bad storms like
the tornado which was
heading our way in North
Dakota. Calgary weather
was cold at night for July
and there is a lot of
grumbling about the wet
cold summer.
The rdin was really
ruining the Stampede, it
was dull for the parade on
Friday morning but the
Midnight Madness was
rather a damp night for
anyone who went. During
my week stay at the Duke
house I met several
people from home in-
cluding Jack and Norene
Tebbutt, Ron and Joyce
Taylor and Brian Lobb.
We also visited with
Gordon and Liz Tebutt. It
was rather nice to know
before I flew home that
the section of Edmonton
where Gary Tebutt and
'Brian live was not as
badly flooded as some
sections of the city when
the big flood hit on that
Tuesday. Susan stayed
and will drive back later.
It would seem as` if the
"Travelling ' Bug" has
bitten this community
this summer. Len and
Marie Lobb and family
travelled to Texas in June
by way of Davenport
where they visited Gerry
Tebbutt's, over to Den-
ver, Colorado to Texas.
Late in June, Bruce and
Dianne Lobb and their
family and their 'guests
since June 9, Hank and
Beryl Gelling and John,
Julie and Joy from
Belgium spent a week in
the Muskoka district.
They returned by July 2
when Hank spoke at the
Good News Drive -In. On
July 8 they all spent a
week at the Fairhaven
Bible Conference at
Beaverton. This week two
young men Eric and ,
Hendrick 'from the
Belgium Mission Field
where Hank works are
visiting with Bruges.
Hank and Beryl have left
for the West.
Irvine and Edith
Tebbutt had Vesta Wright
visi.ti> ,g with them. When
they took Vesta back to
Burford, Mr. and Mrs.
George Addison of
Seaforth accompanied
them. They visited with.
Lew and Rabs Tebutt in
Woodstock also.

Gerda also won the first
prize in a duet.

weekend and birthday
party for Mabel with a
dinner at the Little Inn
Bayfield were Mr, and
Mrs. Neale Trewartha
and Julianne of Toronto;
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Orr,
Angela and Gentry of
Goderich Township;
Janice Middleton of
Woodstock and Rosanne
Middleton of Toronto.

These five, working through Experience '78 are
getting their exercise by building a fitness trail
along the Bayfield-Ausable's property at the
Clinton Conservation park. Wes Abbott, Centralia;
John Stephens, Brucefield; Kim Kristoferson,
Centralia; Laurel Hodgert, Kirkton and Mary
Warburton, Huron Park have been working on the
11/4 mile trail that winds along the Bayfield River
since July 1 and expect to be completed by early
August. (News -Record photo.)
Fitness trail setfor Clinton
Whether you're young
or old, an athlete or a
nature 'buff, whether you
want to get away from
the noise and confusion or
just let all your
frustrations out, the
Bayfield Ausable Con-
servation Authority may
have the answer for you.
Following up on the
suggestion of the Kinette
Club of Clinton, along
with a donation of $2,000
.from them, the con-
servation authority is in
the midst of mapping out
a fitness trail along the
Bayfield River at 't'he'
Clinton Conservation
Park at the- southern
limits of town.
The 11/4 mile trail (2
kms) which can be used
for jogging or walking
will offer 10 stations with
exercising apparatus at
each. These will include
leap bars, a jump bar, sit
ups, step ups, log push
ups, a balance beam, chin
ups, vaulting, a peg walk
and a log lift.
The apparatus on the
trail is designed for usage
by people of all ages and
for all levels of physical
fitness.
"We recommend 30
seconds at each station,"
said Larry Ferguson, the
contractor from the
conservation authority.
"You just do as much as
you can in that time."
"It's like a golf game,
you improve as you use it
regularly," he explained.
Five students, hired
through Experience' '78
are making the trail and
building the apparatus
along it. The crew, Mary
Warburton of Huron
Park, Laurel Hodgert of
Kirkton, Kim'
Kristoferson of Centrali,
John Stephens of
Brucefield and Wes
Abbott of Centralia, hope
to have the trail com-
pleted by the early part of
August.
While the path has been
cleared and., the stations
set up, the trail must still
be firmly packed and
Targe stepping stones will during the
be put across the river to as a cross
follow the trail which
extends back through a
natural setting along the
Bayfield River.
Along with the
generous- Kinette
donation, the authority
foundation is helping with.
the funding and a Win-
tario grant application
has been sent in hopes to
help cover the trail's
estimated $6,000 cost.
The authority plans to
utilize the trail to its full
potential and in the future
will also make it a nature
trail. As well they hope
that students will use it
for cross country track
meets and plans to use it

Wheat, oats, barley or quackgrass.
What are you
harvesting next year?
ROUNDUP® WILL CONTROL
QUACKGRASS THIS FALL, FOR A
CLEAN START COME 'SPRING.
Next spring, nothing will be
more important than getting in and
planting as early as possible. Un-
fortunately, that doesn't
leave much time for
dealing with
quackgrass.
Unless you
apply Roundup®
herbicide by
Monsanto this fall
after harvest.
Simply allow the
quackgrass to re-
grow undisturbed in
the crop stubble until
the majority of plants
are 'actively growing
and at least 8 inches
high (3-4 leaf stage).
But treat before the
first killing frost.
Properly
applied, Roundup will
be absorbed and
"translocated" down into
the network of rhizomes — de-
stroying the entire plant, above
and' belowyround. Five days after
, you ou can resume fall
tillage operations.
Since Roundup has no re-
sidual soil activity, youcan plant
wheat, oats or barley next spring --
without risk of crop in-
jury.
What's more,
many farmers using
Roundup as the
key element in a
quackgrass con-
trol program,
have been able to
achieve manage-
able quackgrass
control for as long
as three years.
Don't think of
treating quack -
grass as one more
chore in the fall.
Think of it as one less
chore in the spring.
See your dealer
about Roundup. The
herbicide that gets to
the root of the problem.
There's never been a
herbicide like thig before.
