FORDWICH — It used to
be a parsonage, this large
brick house. And so it is
again. It says so on the round
wooden plaque hung on the
front porch.
But The Parsonage is quite
a different place from the
former parsonage which
dates back more than 60
years.
Enter The Parsonage on
the main street of this village
today and what you see will
not be a stern Methodist
preacher or his goodwife.
Instead you will be met
with a cheerful smile from
proprietor Carol Long or
perhaps her 13 -year-old
daughter Stephanie — and a
delightful assortments of

Teacher talks

By Stephanie Levesque
Mediation talks with the
245 secondary school
teachers in Huron County
will resume after the
teacher's executive com-
mittee holds a meeting at the
end of this month.
The mediator, Prof.
Jeffrey Gandz of The
University of Western
Ontario, London, said the
delay in the process has been
because the teachers' have
•been "scattered" during the
month.of.August,
Appointed by the
Education' Relations
Commission, Prof. Gandz
said the present contract for
the teachers expires Aug. 31.
"If there is no settlement
fairly close (to Aug. 31) they
(teachers) will go through
the process of fact-finding,"
Prof. Gandz said.
The mediator said the
negotiations could then go on
for an undetermined length
of time. No details of
negotiations have been made
public.

Carol laughs.

WhiteChurch — When a
fire has occurred in
Whitechurch in the past,
residents often call fire
brigades in both Wingham
and Lucknow. This leads to
unnecessary expense as
often only one brigade is
needed. If there is a need for
a• second brigade, that
decision should be left to the
chief of the first fire
department on the seene.
Residents on the north side
of Highway,86 in the village,
in Kinloss Township, are
requested to call Lucknow

Those residing on the south
side of the highway, in East
Wawanosh Township, should
call Wingham at 357-2131.
Agricrew
gains work
experienc?
Valuable work experience,
new friend, and a chance to
see ny different
agricultural • set-ups surely
makes for a great summer.
As Agricrew '81 finished on
August 14, these were among
the thoughts expressed by
the students who worked on
Agricrew. Eight weeks of
travelling to various farms
in the area and working with
three other students as a
team provided ample reason
for them to feel this way.
During the eight weeks,
the three crews in the Huron -
Perth area served 44 far-
mers with an average of two
or three days at each farm.
Jobs included removing
fence rows, painting, stone
picking, haying, picking up
brush, and barn renovations.

in Huron County while 13 are
in Perth County, giving
reason for placing .one crew
in the north Huron region,
another in the Clinton area,
and the third clew in south
Perth.
Agrieeew has been very
successful in Huron -Perth
and this summer was no
exception, organizers report.
Although it is completed
for this summer, Agricrew is
something to keep in mind
for next summer.
