ding to the judges, who were
the wives of Huron county's
representatives in the federal "
and provincial legislatures,
Mrs. Robert McKinley, Mrs.
Murray Gaunt and Mrs. Jack
Riddel, the choice for the win•
ner was difficult because of the
high caliber of the contestants.

Slowly, quietly, a change in
business- has, been taking place -
in the village of Londesboro.
After more than a quarter ,
century of operation, 'R.N.
Alexander is in the process' of
selling his seed plant. Already
the new owner Robert Shad-
dick of Londesboro•' has taken
over operation of the business.
Mr. Alexander founded the
seed .plant in 1946 helped out
by a government grant. He
chuckles now when he remem-
' bers that one' stipulation was
met with plenty to spare.
-Not e‘ eryone thought , it'
would be though. Mr. and Mrs.
Alexander recall one local
resident who predicted the Lon-
desboro area couldn't support
such a facility: But it did, and -
it still is. It supported the 'plant
so well that it has been expan-
ded four times' since it was
built.
• The original building 'was
only 24 by 48 feet and by 1951
was too small. The building
was raised and another storey
was added. Later another 'ad-
dition was made and the.final
addition was made in 1966.
--For 20 years the Alexanders
also ' grew • registered seed at
their farm which° was just east
of the village. In 1970 Mr.
Alexander received' the Robert-
son Associate Award in honour
of his contributions to the seed
industry,' one of the only three.
ever to have been awarded to
residents: of Huron where the
.growing of registered seed has'
never been. popular: •
Seed -plants have never been

those dealing 'in small seeds.

There is part-time help at the

years and Jim McCall, who has
