At that time it was purchased. from the Canada Com- pany and it has been in the Hart- man family ever since. An interesting history of the family is told here by the present owner, Raymond Hartman: "My great -great grandfather's name was Simon Hartman, and he was born in Byran, Germany. He wasa carpenter by trade and a very heavy smoker. At about the age of 45, he came to Canada with his wife and family. They first settled in a little town called Jose- phsburg, which is near Kitchener. Later they moved to a farm now owned by Orland Schwartzentrub- er, on the Goshen Line, south. They thought the new world was a great country. As far as living expenses, two cents in Germany bought about as much as a dollar in Canada, My great -great grandfather died at the age of 82. His son John, or my great grandfather, was about 18 years old when the family carne to Canada, and he was also a car- penter. He walked to St. Agatha to get married and back home with his bride, a distance of about 180 miles, return trip. On January 11, 1860, he bought from The Canada Company the farm now owned by me, Raymond Hartman. This has been the Hart- man homestead since that time. Everything was bush then, so to build a log cabin and barn, they had to clear a little bit of land. Oxen were used to clear the land, and since they had no lines to drive them, they had to be trained, to stop, go, turn left and right, by speaking to thein. In winter they cleared the land and piled the logs on heaps to burn. They began to crop little plots of ground around tree stumps. Since there was not enough land cleared to make a living, my great grandfather walked with his wife to Kitchener to help with the har- vesting there, where they earne• enough money to support the fora- lly during the winter. When winter drew near they walked back home, where they again set to work at clearing their farm. They did this until they had only 20 acresof bush left. The farm now consists of 140 acres land. To buy flour they walked to Goderich, along Lake Huron, and carried home .a 60 pound sack of flour on their back. The first close catholic church built was about ten miles away, known now as St. Joseph's Chur- oh, or the French Settlement, Our present church, St. Boniface Cath- olic Church in Zurich, was built about 100 years ago. The ball on top of the church tower, where the cross sits in, was made by my great grandfather, Father Mur- phy, from Irish town now Dublin, was the first priest. He had to look after the following parishes: Irish Town, Seaforth, Clinton, Zurich and the French Settlement, and gat to each parish once a month. He travelled by horse- back. The fust school was a log ane, built on the corner of the same plot of ground es the pres- ent school stands, ,known as SS No. 8, Hay. Menne Steckle Is Vice -Chairman Of Clinton School Merino Steckle, R.R. 2, Zurich, was named as vice-chairman of the Clinton District Collegiate Institute Board, at their inaugural meeting last Wednesday night. Irvine Tebbutt, R.R. 2, Clinton, was named chairman. The meet- ing was held in the Home Econ- omics room of the high school H. C. Lawson, Clinton, was a- gain re -hired as secretary -treas- urer of the board. Caretakers Lawrence Denomxne and Carl Skov were re -hired, with salaries of $3,100 and $2,700 respectively. Committees were re -appointed as follows: agriculture, Mervyn Richmond, Morris Township; Geo- rge Reid, county representative; J. Willis VanEgmond, Hullett Township; Earl Caldwell, East Wawanash. Property, Dr. Addison, John Law vis, Public School representative, G. Falconer, K. McRae; Study and Welfare, J. Levis, K. McRae, G. Falconer and R. D. Philip, Bl- yth; Finance, G. Reid, M. Rich- mond, E. Caldwell, M. Srteckle; transportation, M, Steckle, R. Philip, W. VanEgmond, G. Falcon- er. The building of business places was started at Serepta, half mile from here, with the intentions of building a city there, but because of a shortage of water, the village of Dashwood was built and noth- ing more was added to Serepta. My grandfather, also whose name was John, and the fifth also of seven children, was born on this farm in 1860. In 1884 he helped his dad, or my great grandfather, build the house that we are now living in. They also built a new barn, My great grandfather died at the age of 72. We still have some of the tools he used, and we eat our three meals on the table, that he made, and sit on the bench he made. On October 3, 1893, my grand- father got married at St. Agatha. He went down and brought back his bride in a horse and buggy. He bought this farm in 1898. They farmed here until 1926, when my dad, also the fifth of seven children, got married and took aver. But my dad was more mod- ern and went courting my mother in a car. They were. married in the French Settlement church, on May 31, 1926. My grand -parents then moved to Seaforth, and lived retired until they died, : As trucks were not a common thing then, they moved their belongings by horses and wagon. On October 3, 1943, my grand- parents celebrated their golden anniversary in our home on the farm. Grandmother died: on April 17, 1946, at the age of 77. Grandfather died on July 18, 1947, at the age of 86. My dad was killed instantly on this faran on September 25, 1952, at the age of 48. On September 7, 1957, I was married to Janice Regier, I also be- ing the fifth child, bought the farm, that I am now living on, in 1957, from my mother. It seems quite a coincidence that the farm has been handed down to the fifth child of four generations. The woodshed, which was the great grandfather's house then, is still being used by the Hartmann of to- day. It remains to be seen who will be next to work the faun, 0 Letter to Editor Dashwood, Ontario, January 18, 1960 Zurich Citizens News, Zurich Ontario, Dear Sir: After all the wailings and lam- entations we have been hearing about No. 84 Highway, you would think Zurich would do like Hen- sall has been doing; that is, keep- ing the highway through town looking like a provincial highway. I am referring to the way cars are parked in front of business places, most any day you will find oars parked in such a way as to interfere with traffic on the trav- elled portion of the road. If you keep a highway looking like a one-horse road in a back- woods town, or a used car lot, you cannot expecttoo much, The Department of Highways don't care, they want to get rid of the road. Yours truly, "HILLBILLY" Letter to Editor Zurich, Ontario, January 18, 1960 Zurich Citizens. News, Zurich, Ontario, Dear Sir: In your paper of January 6, in the editorial column you had an article entitled "Farmers take thought," which calls for serious consideration, and says farmers in the United States appear to be seriously concerned about that country's policies of dealing with agricultural surpluses. They are gradually discovering what the non -farming consumer knew long ago,that support prices, soil banks, government control and directions are not , satisfactory substitutes for free markets. The farmers knew too that it was a poor substitute, to take the place of payment in full of value received and accepted the salve or soothing syrup as some helpal- though (the patient) is getting weaker all the time because the dose, supposed to be the minimum, was too small. The Printed Word says there is a new plan proposed to help to in- crease .prices for the farmer by getting rid of the surplus farm produce in which some nine bil- lion dollars .of tax money is now tied up, and limiting future pro- duction to what their markets will absorb and thus get back to pric- es set by the old fashioned meth- od of supply and demand. The Ontario Federation of Ag- riculture economist, Cecil Belyea, says in Rural Co-operator Editor- ial page on December 8, 1959, al- most anyone of the theoretically possible ways of bringing produc- tion into balance with demand implies some restriction of indiv- idual enterprise, brie ing in its wake of what economists call rig- idity entailing a sacrifice of ef- ficiency for ilhe sake of larger re- turns, and that there is the fur- ther implications that the imposi- tion of a stronger system of im- port quotas and embargoes might become necessary. Any farmer who is opposed to these kinds• of restrictions should remember that Letter to Editor Zurich Citizens News Zurich, Ontario Dear Editor: I don't know whether I am the schedule maker or not, I think there is one higher up who has our lives and the weather in. His hands. I do know that I do the best with what I have to work with. I think if "Fair Play" would sit down and think things out in- stead of jumping to conclusions (she or he) would realize that the children of Zurich are being treated as fairly as possible. Does "Fair Play" know how much work there is in painting lines on the ice and how discouraging it is to have a hard days' work skated off in one or two hours when another flooding or two before the child- ren are allowed to skate would keep the ice and lines in shape much longer? As far as making out a sched- ule is concerned it is rather dif- ficult to say when there will be skating as the weather quite often turns mild as it did a week ago Friday afternoon. Sincerely yours Bill Forrester January 18,. 1960 Zurich,, Ontario the non agricultural industry and labor have not hesitated to make use of them, usually with profi- table results. On your editorial page of Jan- uary 6, you also had an article by J. Carl Hemingway, entitled "The Canadian Farmer produces twice as much as he receives for his labour, and adds that at the mar- keting and co-operative conferen- ce qn Decenvber 28-31, at Guelph, Prof.. Ralph Campbell of OAC, re- ported that 13 percent of the pop- ulation in Canada are primary producers of farm products and only receive seven and a half per- cent of the national income, The Stewart Commission which was appointed by the government to investigate price spreads be- tween the primary producer and the consumer, reported that farm prices declined and retail prices tended to rise over the period from 1949 to 1958, and the mark- et cost per unit of food increased during the period 1949 to 1958 by 84 percent. Can you see why the small far- mer, of which we hear quite a bit the past number of years, is in a difficult situation when his in- come is at a standstill or declin- ing, and his expenses are growing from year to year? Gordon Greer, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, at the annual meeting in Decem- ber, called on farmers to unite as they never did before. The writer thinks that with the best of in- tentions and the greatest effort to correct this out of balance in in- come between agriculture and oth- er occupations, the farmers will fan far short of the goal. To see that justice is done and agriculture gets a fair share of the national income, it must have as- sistance from other sources be- sides government help. Thanks, Mr. Editor.
