The non -summer of 18T6 EDITOR'S NOTE — If we think we're hard hit with our abundant rainfall and cold temperatures since mid-August, we can thank our lucky stars we're not having a repeat of the summer of 1816. The following information regarding that summer of long Ago is from the publication Summer 1973 which was brought into our office by Frank Zurbrigg of Listowel. The ye r 1816 is the year..that is known, as the Summerless Sum- mer. Snow began to fall in the middle of June and by the middle of Aug- ust was a foot in depth. The earth remained under her winter blan- ket until the following summer. Absolutely nothing in the way of harvest was garnered and everything in the way of crops rotted in the ground. People lived on meat and fish: There were no vegetables and therewas no flour. It was venison and fish today and fish and veni- son tomorrow. Cattle were slaughtered when it was felt they should be so used. Hay had to be shipped from Ireland to save starving cattle. ft sold for $45 a ton. Flour sold at $17 a barbel and potatoes a penny a pound which were previously un- heard-of prices. The year was called "eighteen hundred and froze to death". The cause of the cold was believed to have been sun spots which- were so large that for the first time in history they could be seen with- out the aid of a telescope. The following spring corn was $2 a bushel, wheat $2.50, rye $2, oats 90 cents and beans $3. Used Car Savings ,75 CHRYSLER, 4 -door, air conditioning, demon- strator.

BELMORE — The Septeinber meeting of the McIntosh UCW was held in the church basement, The devotions were in charge of Mrs. Everett Dustow, and were opened with the singing of "We Plough the Fields and Scatter". The scripture lesson from Matthew, chapter 10, was read, followed by the hymn, "Come, Ye Thankful People Come". The mediation on "Does God Care?" was given and devotions then closed with prayer. The roll call, "A summer vaca- tion item", brought many in- teresting stories of summer trips and outings. The minutes were read and approved. Two thank - you notes for cheer boxes were Information on producers' .eli- gibility and balloting procedures will be delivered to producers as soon as the necessary documents are prepared. Eligible producers of record with the Ontario Egg Producers' Marketing Board as of Sept. 16, 1975, will be entitled to cast their ballots. A certificate will be provided to each eligible producer, which will entitle the producer to cast a ,j)al- lot. In order to cast his ballot, the producer will be required to give his certificate to the registrar and also sign a declaration form. Only a person named on the cer- tificate may cast a ballot. No per- son will be permitted to ballot without a certificate. Producers will be asked to ex- press their opinion on two ques- tions. Question 1 concerns the con- tinuation of the present plan, known as the Ontario Egg Pro- ducers' Marketing Plan, which includes production controls and, at the present time, includes par- ticipation in the Canadian Egg .- Marketing Agency. If 66 two- thirds of those balloting on this question are in favor, the Farm Products Marketing Board will regard this as sufficient support to recommend continuation of the et Ontario Egg Producers' Market- ing Plan. Question 2 concerns quota transfer policy. Producers will be asked to indicate which one of four alternative quote transfer policies they support. These are: (a) The existing controlled quota transfer policy, under which the Ontario Egg Produc- ers' Marketing Board is the sole buyer and seller of basic quota; (b) A controlled leasing policy which wpuld provide for leasing of production quota on an annual basis under the control of the On- tario Egg Producers' Marketing Board; (c) An open quota transfer poli- cy under which a producer could sell his basic quota on the open market; (d) An open leasing policy un- der which a producer could lease his production quota on an annual basis on the open market. In makingthe announcement, Mr. Burrell said it was time to know the opinion of Ontario egg producers with respect to the continuation of the plan and the transfer of quota. read by Mrs. Winer gaskins.
