Upset over weitlter forecasts
By Keith Roulston
The Huron, County
Federation of Agriculture
agreed„Thursday night to sup-
port,AQ ,: Huron County crop
Improvement Association in
disputing weather forecasts. '
A letter from the 'Crop Im-
provement Association was
read aLthe regular meeting of
the Federation which cjatmed
farmers had 'suffered crop
losses this year because of the
inaccuracy` of weather forecasts
frcm the Mount Foreat weather
station via local radio station.
The, Crop Improvement
Association has sent letters to
Robert McKinley, M.P. for
Huron, the weather station an&
CKNX radio, complaining
abCiut the service,
The complaint said that the
fortooecasts often said farmers
could expect 24 to 36 hours of
good harvesting weather before
a weather front would move in
while stations in the Detroit
area were saying it would be
only six to nine hours 'before
rain could be expected, Many
farmers went ahead with
operations such as bean pulling
only to find that" the Detroit
forecasts were unfortunately
more accurate than those of
Mount Forest. .The letter
claimed many beans were lost
because of this.
It was felt that the forecasts
came from Toronto and were
only relayed -through Mount
Forest. Since weather systems
moved in from the west, it was
l'et "the time -estimated `d'id"lith
Goderich man at
Kincardine store
What was once a bowling
alley, a pool room and more
recently a shop known as ''Ir -
win's Discount will now
become lfincher's Ltd., a
second . bfanch of P'incher's,
establishet'in Goderich in 1957
by Dennis Fincher.
Eric Fincher, who will
manage the Kincardine store is
the twenty, -five year old son of
Dennis Fincher; Eric was born
in England (Worchestershire
County), and moving to
Goderich at the age of two,
graduated from Goderich
Collegiate. His working ex-
periences outside of helping in
'the Goderich store include
retailing in London, a year at
Northern Electric in Toronto,
and . several years with J.M.
Cutt groceries in Goderich.
A graduate in Economics and
Political Science from Waterloo
Lutheran Liniversity, Eric is
continuing studies towards a
Masters in Business at -
Lutheran.
At present Eric is commuting
'between 'Goderich and Kincar-
dine, but may ' . : • - other
arrangements. Eri, also a
member of the Go rich Kin-
smen.`
Mr: Fincher, say. , thahe
finds the motto "wh: r' youare

FINCHER
true. He has opened the store
here after several years of
waiting for an attractive spot in
Kincardine, as he has 'always
liked the town. Eric purchased
the store from Ron MacLeod,
of London. Stock in the store
will remain basically the same
for , some time with, expansion
in—the magazine and paper-
back area.
