Elton gets appointment MPP Murray Elston, the newly elected Liberal Member of the Provincial Legislature for the Riding of Huron-Brtice is to be the party's critic of the Solicitor - General's Ministry. In making the announce- ment, Liberal Leader Stuart Smith expressed every con- fidence in Elston's ability "to undertake this very im- portant area of criticism. We've been concerned for some time that the jobs of Solicitor General and At- torney General are held by the same person. 1 know Murray will keep the In Brumfield Easter service at dawn pressure on the Government to change the situation". Elston is a lawyer with the .firm of Crawford, Mill, Davies and Elston, and has served as solicitor for the Town of Wingham and the Township of Turnberry. • He is anxious , to par- ticipate in the debates of the Provincial Legislature, and anticipates a very challeng- ing time at Queen's Park under a majority govern- ment. "There is a great deal of work to be done. It's the Opposition's job to make sure that the Government doesn't just sit back now that they have the power of ma- jority. "Personally, I'm delighted to have responsibility for the Solicitor -General's Ministry, which will really give me something to get my teeth in- to. The Minister's perfor- mance has left a great deal to be desired, and I think it is utterly wrong for one person ,to have the responsibility for both the `legal' Ministries," Mr. Elston said. Elston's appointment became effective on the first day of the new Legislature, and will continue until fur- ther notice. by Mrs. Isabel Scott An Easter sunrise service was held at the United church Sunday morning, April 19 followed by break- fast reakfast served by members of the chair under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Livermore.

The Clinton Horticultural Society sent four delegates: Many of the directors at- tended, ttended, including the vice- president, Mrs. B. Japp; Mr. R. Gomme, Mrs. M. Durn- ford, Mrs. R. Bray, Mr. R. Bennett, Mrs. R. Bennett, Mr. E. Fielding, Mrs. R. Lobban, Mrs. I. Morrey, Mr. G. Baxter, Mrs. M. Hobson, Mrs. D. Moreau. The guest speaker was Mr. Van Tuyl of Agri -Park, Kin- cardine. Mr. Van Tuyl at- tended Agricultural College in Holland and was 14- terested in experimenting with different types of plants and vegetables for different climates. He came to Canada, to the Toronto district, and sold tomatoes at the Toronto Market for nine cents a pound. In 1979 Mr. Van Tuyl went to Douglas Point to study wasted heat that was warm- ing up Lake Huron. In six weeks Mr. Van Tuyl had his first greenhouse there, one acre under glaas, near Kin- cardine. Tomatoes and cucumbers planted in August are ready to harvest at Christmas. The seeds planted in January are ready in July, even with only 60 hours of real sunshine in an entire month. But the greenhouse lights are not all on continuously. Tomatoes need six hours to sleep, strawberries need four hours, but cucumbers and peppers grow without resting! "Pollination i5 no pro- blem" according to Mr. Van Tuyl - it just has to be done in the right 48 hours - and takes only eight to 10 hours per acre! Each tomato blossom produces 2,500 to 3,000 specs of pollen. Mr, Van Tuyl ex- pects 80 tomatoes from each plant and 28 peppers per plant. In Holland, there are 70,000 acres under glass with nine million people working in the greenhouses. In Canada, there are 900 acres under glass - most in L,eam Courtin.g on the Goshen Line Dear Editor, I am sending you a copy of a doggerel poem which has been in my family for 120 years, and as far as I can determine has not been deposited m any archival collect,*or ever been printed. The poem relateilto a practical joke perpetrated oh a _.. courting couple about 1860 on the Goshen Line in Stanley Township south of Bayfield. While the poem was anonymous the authorship was likely known or suspected. It illustrates rural humor at that time, a freedom in caricaturizing people, and the love of a practical joke. According to my grandmother, who preserved a copy, the poem was copied by, hand and widely circulated throughout the township. From family tradition a little more background to the reading of the doggerel can be provided. Miss White was a "maiden lady", in years a little beyond the early age at which girls then married, who lived with a female relative. Milo Church took her for a drive on a summer Sunday afternoon and didn't return her to her home until after dark: from the poem one senses that this was not quite proper. A violent thunder and rain storm broke, and Miss White thought Milo had best remain the night. As the poem narrates, the storm did not keep the pranksters at hone, and these purloined Milo's clothes with the aid of a stick reached through the window. While not an authority on changing fashions in women's underthings, I have been led to believe that the fashion of the day was pantalettes - long, loose drawers with frills or ruffles about the ankles. The reader can imagine the delight of the folk along the Goshen Line, no doubt alerted by the pranksters, when in broad daylight Milo Church drove by clad in his true love's pantalettes. ° My grandmother was born Mary Jane .McIntyre (18444931) on Lot 15, Concession VIII. She _ married Joseph Switzer who was born on Lot 69, Concession B, Goderich Township. The couple pioneered m Culross Township, Bruce County. Both lived to advanced old age. Yours sincerely, Bruce Peel Librarian to the University of Alberta. Milo's Bretches Come all young men that go to spark Be Shure you do not get into the lurch .-Besureeyou:tionotxniss your mark And happen like poor Milo Church He went upon the Goshen line All for to see his heart's delight A lovely damsel most divine Was charming lovely Miss Jane White She weighed about 200 pounds And well proportioned was her build She measured over four feet round With love poor Milo's heart was filled Her lovely head of pumpkin size Upon her pot late neck was set As broad as saucers were her eyes And across ernose her eyebrows met Young Milo, he went up one day For to drive out his heart's delight But on account of some delay Did not get back till after night His love desired him for to stay His horse was stabled and well fed And after they did sing and pray They all proposed to go to bed Hehugg his clothes upon a chair Which close beside the window lay The sash being up to let in air Some rascal stole his pants away Then in the morning he arose Jumped out of bed and rubbed his eyes He found that he had minus clothes Which put him in a great surprize As woman's famed for ready wit He called to him his Mary Jane And off her pants she quickly slipped And unto Milo put the seine Into the pants he slipped his pins Two holes was for his arms cut out Around his neck she tied the strings They served him both for pants and shirt Now f or his journey he was fit Although quite awkward he did feel He had a worse misfortune yet Somebody stole his buggy wheel He searched both field and ditch around Poor Milo was driven to despair And when the buggy wheel was found He just began to tear his hair Poor Milo he flew into a passion The country rang with laughs and screeches They say thelatest pants in fashion Are split behind like Milo's bretches And now I have come to a conclusion That a moral I will propose Itputs a man ingreat confusion For to wear his true love's clothes Come all young men that take a notion For to see his heart's delight If she lives upon the Goshen Keep yourtrousers mall night. _ • It's a fact Did you know that many Canadians have never been vaccinated against (rubella) german measles.

ONTARIO'S FISH TESTING PROGRAM Ontario is famous for its fishing. The Ontario government constantly checks this valuable resource through its continuing research and testing program of fish. Testing has now been done in 1036 lakes and rivers. "GUIDE TO EATING ONTARIO SPORT FISH" The results are published in the three booklets "Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish" (Northern Ontario, Southern Ontario and Great Lakes editions). NOW AVAILABLE FOR 1981 You can get your free copies from your nearest office of THE ONTARIO MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT THE ONTARIO MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES THE ONTARIO MINISTRY OF NORTHERN AFFAIRS Copies are also available in vacation area Brewers' Retail Stores and LCBO Stores during June.

Here the cost of heating greenhouses is too great, between $45,000 to $60,000 a year. Because of this we can't grow Mr. Van Tuyl's type of tomatoes - they are only suitable for growing in a greenhouse. We cannot even buy one of his tomatoes, pep- pers or cucumbers without going to Kincardine. Mr. Van Tuyl kindly brought two cases of tomatoes and a case of long cucumbers and donated them as door prizes. Mrs. Bray, district representative for district 8, spoke of ways to make meetings more interesting. An idea from Clinton's former district 8 president, Mr. Cliff Epps, was sug- gested, for each society to bring a short concise report of the year's work so the other societies could know what their friends were da- Mrs. o-Mrs. Bray also stressed that horticulturists try to reinstate Arbor Day, since most towns need more trees. The planting of trees 'lithe Niagara Park is a special event at the Annual Ontario Convention held there in June, to commemorate the OHA's 75th anniversary. If a town does have enough trees, then that town could plant a shrub in an empty corner. Next year's meeting will be held in Markdale. Rules of the road are important The Ontario Safety League reminds motorists that motorcycle drivers are given the same privileges as motorists and are subject to the same `rules of the road.' Watch for the motorcycle and treat it like any other vehicle - give it room. Watch for mopeds, bicycles and remember that a moped is a slow -accelerating vehicle - some models must be pedalled before they gain speed and might also prove a little wobbly at this point. Be particularly careful of the two wheel driver when train and streetcar tracks are present. Negotiating tracks is a hazardous operation with these vehicles - don't crowd them. And when parking on a street, double check for bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles before opening your door. Research into motorcycle accidents indicates that in most crashes involving an automobile, the driver of the automobile is at fault., In most instances, the car is. making a left turn in front of the motorcycle when the collision occurs. Cars passing motorcycles and cutting in too quicly is the second most frequent con- tributing cause. The same danger is present with the moped and the Ontario Safety League stresses the need for motorists to check for all two -wheeled vehicles before making a left or right turn. • The two wheeler is with us, sharing the roads. Motor- cyclists, in the main, are responsible individuals. They need the co-operation of the motorists. There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island... and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day off your life. -Walt Disney. +++ When the white nnan came we had the land and they had the Bibles; now they have the land and we have the Bibles. -Chief Dan George.
