The financial results of the tournament were not yet finalized at presstime. Farmers told they have sympathy By Stephanie Levesque HOLMESVILLE — Farm- ers feel "dumped" on but consumers are sympathic to their plight. These messages emerged at Thursday's Huron Federation of Agricul• ture meeting here Ruth Jackson. vice-presid- ent of the Consumers As- sociation spoke at the meet• ing August 6. Ms. Jackson, of the Kitch- ener area, said consumers have a "sympathetic view" towards the farmer. "They may not understand entirely but there is a gut feeling of sympathy," Said Ms. Jackson. Several farmers in the audience said they felt "dumped on" by consumers. "We are not the contributors to high prices," said one. The farmers asked Ms. Jackson if she could "attack" the retailers who they feel are making the profits. Ms. Jack- son agreed retailers are mak- ing profits that last year were better than they had been for some time. She added there is "not adequate competition" among all retailers. Ms. Jackson said better competitive legislatio n is needed. She noted the issue will be up before the federal parliament in its fall session. She suggested the federation could help support this legisl- ation. The farmers at the meeting said they are in favor of marketing boards. while Ms. Jackson said the boards do many good things, but "Can be changed to work better for the farmers and the rest of Canada". She said that with the present economic situation in Canada, for example the current high interest rates, quotas set by the boards "are like a millstone around tine neck of the young farmer". One farmer disagreed, suggesting that if there were no quotas. and all but one Please turn to page 3 Dry weather gives crops strong roots BY GREGOR CAMPBELL The five-week drought which ended a couple of Tuesdays ago had a silver lining as far u this season's Huron County corn crop is concerned. John Heard. an assistant agricultural representative of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food at Clinton, says the dry period meant root systems had to search for water and develop. This sho uld prevent lodging, when plants toppk over because their roots won't support them. The drought was spotty in the county, some areas were more affected than others, but Mr. Heard says the rainfall that signalled its end happened during pollination and the corn crop is looking pretty good in general. Some corn root worm damage showed with the mat rain. This can cause goose -necking or curved stalks, but the ag rep terms it a minor problem. Mr. Heard says some European corn borers are in evidence now but it is too early to predict a problem. Most of Huron's wheat has been harvested to the north, and all of it in the south, with good quality yields averaging about 65 bushels per acre. The sprouts that caused problems with the crop last summer haven't developed because of the general lack of moisture. Mu ch barley remains to be harvested north of Clinton but, most of it is to the south. The yields and quality of harvested malting barley have been good. Mr. Heard say dry conditions caused the second cut of alfa la to be a variable quality with a lower yield than normal. Several fields were sprayed for potato leaf hopper. which sucks the juices out of the plant. Many acres of white beans have also been sprayed because of this insect, which causes leaves to Threshers plan work bee The Huron Pioneer and Threshers Associ- ations held a members'meeting on July 25 at the shed on the Blyth Fair Grounds.

Ontario The Scripture cited above contains the story of the feeding of Five Thousand by Jesus. He provided for the physical needs of people. Yet he is also concerned about our spiritual needs. He wants all of us to have a right relation• ship with God. How this world desperately needs a larger share of the compas- sion and concern for others demonstrated by Jesus Christ, Recently Senior Citi- zens' week was observed in Ontario. The Theme "we all have a lot to share" that was used for the week is all too true. There is enough Econ- omic Pie to go around. but there must be a willingness to share, Canada is one of the richest nations on earth, yet it is in danger of being torn apart by greed. selfishness, and a me first attitude. The message hanging on the wall in St. Michaels Henry Brothers Carpentry Quality Workmanship Guaranteed R. R. 1, Auburn 523-9328 Hospital, Toronto with credit to Dr. Binnington contains a short course in Human Rela- tions: h says 1. The Six greatest words in the world: "I may have made a mistake. 2. The Five greatest words in the world. "You did a great job." 3. The four greatest words in the world: "What would your propose?' 4. The three greatest words in the world: "If you please." 5, the two greatest words in the world: "Thank you." 6. The one greatest word in the world: "We". 7. The least Important word in the world: When people every where can put self last, and see the larger good, we can hope for a better world. We can all be more determined to follow the example of Jesus Christ who lived not for self, but for others. He Himself taught that discipleship consists of denying self and putting God first in all of our worthwhile endeavours.

The Huron County Health Unit again attended the ann- ual Health Inspectors SIo- pitch tournament in Toronto this year.

The bases were floating and the paths between the bases were a sea of mud. Umpires were warning plan- ners that to continue would be folly and that they would be guaranteed injuries to the players if play went on. Soaking wet, we trooped back to our rooms to dry out and wait for news about how the tournament would end. A meeting in the planning rooms confirmed hill cancell• ation of the rest of the tournament.

Phone 523-9581 evening with gusto. P.S. The first game against Windsor was a close race which they won on a technical point. The problem with slo-pitch is that the rules really have to be gone over before the teams start to play. it is definitely not the same as softball which most everyone is familiar with. Last year the local team had tossed around the idea of hosting the provincial tourna- ment in Goderich. But on such short notice we could'nt commit ourselves without do- ing a little investigative work. Farmers told that consumers sympathize Continued from page 1 commodity was in trouble, farmers would turn to the :ommodity not in trouble and there would be a surplus of that product on the market. Ms. Jackson said there are many good things about marketing boards, but other things should be changed. The question of advertising arose, and Ms. Jackson said she is not against some advertising and promotion because "they are certainly good products. "I'd rather see people drinking milk and eating yogurt than some other so- called f'»ds," said Ms. Jack- son. But Ms. Jackson is con- cerned the money for adver• tising comes out of the cost of production and ends up being paid for by consumers. A dairy farmer said money for advertising came off his milk cheque. He didn't see why consumers are complain- ing if the farmers are paying for the advertising. The farmer said statistics show butter consumption is up since it has been promote ed. He added advertising should have been done years ago. One farmer pointed out that the milk adds have no "subliminal sex" and are promoting a "wholesome product". Anot"er farmer said it is "normal business practice" to ad r -ism. Ms. Jackson said she does not find the cost-of•produc• tion formula used by the marketing boards an entirely fair method. She said the formula is legislated federally and boards have different interpretations. "I'm not sure we are all that much to blame " said one farmer 01 the high cost of food. He suggested the con- sumer is getting "shafted" by the high cost of food and the farmers are being blame - ed. In her talk Ms. Jackson cited accomplishments of the Consumers' Association of Canada. As example she said the Consumers' Association has spoken at Bell Canada hearings, energy export hear- ings and others. Ms. Jackson added she would like to see consumer representation on the market• ing boards, something more than a "token". She would like to see a useful consumer representative. To the statement that food paces have increased 13 per cent every year for the past three years, a farmer said that fact was due partially to imported foods. He said coin. modifies governed by mark- eting boards with quotas had increased at a lower rate than the rest of the food basket. Ms. Jackson was thanked by the federation for speak- ing. It was said that while the farmers don't always agree with what the consumers' association is doing, they realize the group is working on behalf of all consumers. ONTARIO HYDRO A motion that the Huron Federation of Agriculture participate in the Listowel working group regarding the six proposed power line routes was defeated.

The teams were well warn- ed at the dance when Phil Paquette made the announce- ment that Huron is known for its excellent camping facili- ties and dry weather. So now we have a winter of planning to get ready for the tournament. 1 don't know whether having it all in your own back yard will be more fun or more headache. But it sounds like we are all ready to give it a try. So next year at this time I hop to be able to write about the well-planned tournament and how many hands make light work.

Registration Number 1319 Losing clout? The Federation of Agriculture is one of the most active farm organizations that is learning quickly the power of lobbying. Yet even with their strong membership and powerful words and facts the organization has come up against a problem that is taking its toll. The issue of foreign owned land and absentee ownership has, in its heyday, been a real drawing card to get members out to the meetings and take notes, voice their concern and try to get the government rolling on some form of protection for local farm land. But the threat of absentee foreign ownership on area communities and on the land prices has not sunk in. The Government's lack of a solution is becoming evident. Ashfield Township Federation carried on a strong argument and two years ago when the issue was fresh and on everyone's mind its meetings were packed. Now two years have passed and many have wearied of the whole matter; the township federation is in danger of folding. Only eight members turned out for the annual meeting recently and for those who showed up for the meeting it must have been a sad time. Whether the problem stems from apathy or just lack of members (fewer and fewer farmers in the area) the lack of involvement just could spread. It must be part of human nature to take an issue to its furthermost limits before doing something to rectify the situation. We are guilty of endangering species, ruining our habitat, and we have become ineffective in keeping order in the world community. Even with such a seemingly small issue (on a world scale) such as protecting our farmland we are too slow to move. The action in the grass roots can only take the matter so far and then it is up to the political wizards to come up with a suitable solution. But while we wait for that grass roots action is going through a dangerous drought period that could be fatal. We will \have to wait and watch how Ashfield farmers handle this matter. ,r LOCAL ARTISTS — The art in the gallery at the Blyth Summer Festival has changed and patrons will be delighted with the excellent showing of local talent on exhibit.

Seems to me we are never so free in our lives in the true north strong and free as we are when we're youngsters on summer holidays. I'm not one who would live my life over again but from the time the new -mown hay scents the air in June to the time the cicadas crack the heavy air of August with their high-pitched whine 1 wouldn't mind being 10 again. Ten. 1 think was the perfect age: old enough for parents to let you off the apron strings, young enough not to have the responsibility of carrying out an adult workload. It left long. warm days of exploring field and wood. imagining following the footsteps of Champlain or finding secret Indian burial mounds. building secret hide- outs where adults were foreign. generally' escaping from the rest of the world outside our imagination. Childhood is not a carefree time. Children at school not only hayed the feeling of captivity because they must learn to keep regular schedules, schedules drawn up by others, but they have the fear of failure and the incredible pressure of their peers. They learn the habits of their later adult life: worrying that they fit in, that they dress as well, that they have the right haircut or that their teeth don't stick out. Life in school is far from free. But for two months during the summer freedom comes. Schedules, of course become either non-existent or at least looser, Dress doesn't matter. Group sizes break down to small units, sometimes just two boys or girls, adult supervision becomes minimized and the kids have a chance to be themselves. Oh adults often still try to regulate the kids. There is this activity and that and it sometimes seems the adult are afraid to let the kids think for themselves for a while in case they plan a revolution. I guess for urban kids there is some need of this because left on their own with nothing to do they will invent trouble. But rural and small town kids have the world's biggest playpen at their back- door. There are trees to climb, riven to fish and swim in and build rafts on and camp beside, endless fields to wander collecting endless varieties of insect to go home and unleash on screaming mothers. And while educational technicians in their fancy offices in Clinton or Toronto may not like it, a lot of the most important education a child receives goes on out there in the freedom of field and bush, Our man-made education system, for instance, has been so busy convincing mankind of his own supreme importance in the scheme of things that he thinks the whole world can be reshaped to whatever rules he wants. So today we have a world being poi .soned by acid rain, paved over by concrete, in danger of ending in a cloud of nuclear fall -out if someone put his finger on the wrong button. Out there in the fields kids learn that they are not superior to nature but are part of it, part of an intricate system of balances that out of whack can bring the whole system to a stop. They (earn too that what others say about you, whether your shoes are the right kind or your hair is in place, whether you get good marks or can play the piano or run the 50 -yard dash faster than anyone else your age, that none of these other things really matter. They get a chance to develop as an individual, not as & pre-packaged, colour-coded product of an educational machine. (whether that machine be a school, a television set ready to turn all children into clones of some ideal child, or parents who have some perfect offspring in mind that they want to model their child after). I suppose I'm talking about a childhood some people never experienced and if so I am sorry for them. Some, 1 suppose never had a chance. Many more just didn't take a chance. Despite the fact we have millions of acres of field and stream and bush few people. even children in our smaller towns and villages, get out and enjoy it. It is as if there was a barbed wired fence 12 feet high around the urban boundaries cutting one off from the other. It's that way for adults too, I think. Even people lucky enough to have a second home in the country or at a lake quickly turn it into a second-hand version of the urban home they left behind. They don't leave the worries of their urban adult life behind at all but bring the mortgage payments and the electrical breakdowns and the worries about how their place compares with the one owned by the chartered accountant next door just like they bring their extra bedding. Would that we all could be 10 years old again for a few weeks every year, free of adult worries about keeping up with the Jones, about office politics, about troubles in Poland and chaos in Ottawa, about crab grus in our manicured lawns. Perhaps it would give us the perspective we need when we go back to our Buttered, complicated adult lives. • THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 12, 1981 — AS Fire on Ice isn't history but it entertains BY OREGON CAMPBELL Legends should be taken with a grain of salt. The remedy might come in handy while watching Keith Revel• ston's Fire oo Ice which opened last week at Blyth Summer Festival '81. The play is about hockey's Howie Graham McPherson, Keith Thomas and William Dunlop in Fire on Ice IN MEMORY OF FORMER MORRIS RESIDENTS — Morris Township Reeve Bill Elston laid a legion wreath at the cenotaph in memory of former Morris Township residents to start off the 125th celebrations last Friday night. (Photo by Langlois) PULL, PULL, PULL — Though they pulled with all their might the people from the north half of Morris Township still lost the tug-of-war to the south half of Morris, twice In a row. The tug-of-war was part of Morris Township's 125th celebrations last weekend. (Photo by Langlois) Morenz, who was born in Mitchell in 1902 and played much of his early hockey in Stratford, a small-town hero who more than made good. He was the fire in the "ftrewagon hockey" Mont- real's Canadiens made fam- ous. Those that saw him say he was the greatest player of his day, certainly the fastest. His scoring statistics tell only part of his interesting story. They billed him "the Babe Ruth of hockey" because his verve revolu tionized the game as much as the "Sultan of Swat" changed baseball with his power. In 1950 Morenz was voted Canada's hockey player of the half -cen- tury. In short, he was about as good as they get. He died when he was 34 in tragic circumstances. How many other athletes can you think of whose funeral was carried live on radio? The service was held at i packed Forum at Montreal in 1937, and they say you could hear a pin drop. But folks that are interest- ed in facts will have a field day picking holes in the legend that emerges in Fire on ice. It's shallow and hard to believe. The injury which ended "the Mitchell Meteor's" playing days. and eventually his life, was a multiple fracture of the left leg NOT the right. Morenz's mother was dead at the time the pia has him writing letters home to her. And don't tell King Clancy he's depicted as a goalie in the story, he'd probably set the leprechauns on you. Nit-picking perhaps, but not isolated cases. All this artistic licence can take your mind off the entertainment. Little fault can be found with the Blyth production on that score. It entertains. Keith Thomas plays Morenz. The rest of the cast consists of William Dunlop, Graham McPherson, Sam Robinson and Frank Scott. Dunlop has some idioms of the sport pegged perfectly, and earns his laughs. John Roby's music helps the story move along. The play is directed by David Fox, with set and costumes by Pat Flood. Mr. Roulston, who is ad- ministrative director at Blyth and at home in this area. developed the script for Fire of ice during the winters of 1979 and 1980. It was work - shopped at the Toronto Thea- tre Festival in May 1981, and the script was further de- veloped by cast and director during rehearsals for Blyth. Somewhere in its develop- ment the legend became less than the life. The true story of Howie Morenz remains to be written. The play runs in repertory until August 22. Fturon first Huron County ranked first in the province in 1980 in production of barley, white beans, rutabagas. total corn and savage corn. It ranked second. behind Perth, in pork production.

Area participants included Bill and Marlene Munn of Hensall, Bruce and Linda Coleman, Belgrave and Kevin and Sandy McComb, Mitchell. "The session acts as a two-way communication tool for both the couples and UCO," says Reg Cressman, director of public relations Would-be bank robbers sentenced Alun Dyer, 24, and Gerald Michael Smith, 20, both of Kincardine, were sentenced to 12 months in reformatory last week in Goderich court for conspiring to rob the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch in Auburn last September. A third man, Roch Fernand Courchesne, 21 of Elliott Lake was sentenced to eight months on the same charge. & SAVES The bank was not robbed but witnesses told police two masked men, one carrying A shotgun, were seen nearby. The trio pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge last month. Dyer and Smith also were sentenced to three months for break and enter and one month for wilful damage in a separate incident. and co-ordinator of the three- year-old program. "Not only do we provide them with the opportunity to learn more about agri-business and the Co-op, but it also gives UCO direct line to their concerns and requirements. And, in turn, it allows the Co-op to anticipate their needs. "Many of these people will be the community decision makers of tomorrow and it is therefore important for us to not only help them prepare for this but to anticipate their goals and objectives." Because of tough economic conditions, these young far- mers wanted information they could apply to their day-to-day farm and family activities. In keeping with this, UCO resource staff conducted sessions on com- munity involvement, person- al needs identification and goal setting; history of agri- cultural co-operatives; and the scope and impact of UCO's present retail, manu- facturing and marketing ser- vices. ■CLIP & SAVE 1 r Can we help you? 1 1 1 To get your news and advertise- ments in the paper correctly and quickly, FIRM DEADLINES have been established to help our cus- tomers and our staff.

Then it became a r ailroad centre in the late 1870 s. These two factors were great assets to the stores, its industries and the farming community and led to its outstanding growth in the 1880 s. Early builders laid a good foundation. Donald Robinson was one of them in the 1860 s. He is remembered for build- ing the first Presbyterian church on the southern out- skirts of the village and the present Orange Hall in 1865. Most puilding of that time was assisted by volunteer labour. We do not know who built the store of Ross McEw• en or the hardware store of Ross Anderson, but we un- derstand they are the oldest remaining structures left. Many homes in the village now were erected in the 1870 s. The Methodist and Anglican churches and sheds were also built in that period. it was the coming of the railroad in 1876 that brought about far greater expansion and th4construction of many fine buildings. Many of these are still here and have contri- buted much enjoyment and service to village life. A CHEESE FACTORY In the 1880 s Belgrave really advanced. In 1881 a cheese factory was built by the creek west of Harold White's house. On the north- ern outskirts on the Moms side was the new saw mill of Cornelius Bell where furni- ture and coffins were made. This wu on the site of our Co-operative Mill . South of it was a tannery, two black- smith shops and the hard- ware and general store men- tioned before. On the corner Henry Morley built the Queen's Hotel. He was an important Belgrave builder in the 1880 s. Near it was a flour and feed store with a dress- making shop which was ent- ered by an outside staircase. Belgrave also had a tailor, a harness maker and a resident doctor in the 1880s. On the Wawanosh side of the village wu the new big general store owned by Mr. Tufts and built on the site of the village tavern. The post office was transferred here in 1882. A stairway on the north side led to aportments in the upper storey. At one time there was a dressmaking shop here. South of the store was a new open shed for the horses of farmers. It had an upper floor reached by an outside stairway. This room was called Morley's Hall and was used for concerts and meetings. Next to it, a new hotel was put up by Charles Blakesley. This is now the residence south of the arena. On the southern outskirts of the village to serve the interests of the farmers of the area, a fine agricultural Hall was built by George Procter in 1886. it wu a frame eight• sided structure with glass windows and was called the Shaw Hall. Two other buildings were added to the village in the closing years of the decade. The Belgrave Wood Working on the northern outskirts of the Wawanosh side was bullt in 1890. Then a need was felt for a new hall for meetings and concert, as Morley's Hall was destroyed by fire so the Foresters constructed their targe hall in 1888. Many changes have taken place in our village. Our industries and population have varied. Now, in 1981 the number of stores had declin- ed; but in the Seventies a housing boom in the south eastern section made a great change in the size of Bel - grave. The population has increased from 126 in 1953 to 265 in 1979. We hope this along with the erection of new street signs will indicate progression in the history of our village. Composed by Mrs. Walter Scott. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 12, 1981 -- All FUNDRAISERS — The Blyth Centre for the Arts received a donation from these lovely ladies last week for the building fund.

(Photo by Battye) 4-H visitors from Michigan in Belgrave New street signs have been posted in Belgrave recently. Some bear the names of early Morris Township settlers as: Corbett, McCrea, Hamilton. Brandon, Parker and King. Others of unknown origin; but not less worthy of men- tion are Jane and John; "Queen" designates "The Queen's Highway". These markers are a con- stant reminder to the Bel - ave residents of the debt we owe to our courageous fore- fathers.

(intended for last week) Arrangements of multicol- oured flowers in the vestibule and sanctuary of Knox United Church, made an attrractive setting for the joint service of the Calvin -Bricks and Bel - grave charges on Sunday as they commemorated the 125th Morris Township an• niversay. A prelude of organ -piano numbers was presented with Mrs. George Procter, organ• ist and Mrs. George John• ston, pianist. Rev. Scott G. Roberts con - du cted the service, assisted by Mr. Ross Procter; Mr. Procter gave a short dis- course on the "History of the Belgrave Community". He believes that Morris has never experienced a crop failure in its 125 years. Bodmin was the first Morris settlement. William Harris. a native of Cornwall, England was the first settler. Other settlements were Bethel and Sunshine. Ross concluded the history by reading a letter written by an anxious mother Mrs. Frances Stubbs in Eng- land to her son at Bodmin wishing him health and safe- ty. Rev. John. G. Roberts based his remarks on Deut.: 8 which describes a good land of brooks. pools, gushing springs, valleys and hills, a land of wheat etc. A descrip- tion applicable to Morris Township, but Scripture warns "Beware that you don't forget the God who led you through the wilderness." To the pioneers the land was their salvation. They left a homeland torn and crushed by the Industrial Revolution not unlike the Feudal system. The possession of land gave them salvation. hope. pro- mise and fulfillment. The land was their heritage; but the warning "Don't pretend. Beware! Don't squander your land it is your salvation, was ever present." Today we. as they did, owe to God our obedience and total involve- ment. No one can separate the spiritual from the material possessions. Each of us must respond to God's love with spirit and grace. Ones whole existence must be offered to God. The large choir of mixed voices rendered two anthems "Brother James' Air" (an arrangement of the Twenty third Psalm) and "Blessini with Mrs. George Procter. accompanist.

The Squirt Teams have all shown vast improvement since the sea- son started with Expos con- tinuing to lead the way with a victory over the Mets and an unusual tie with the second place Bluejays in two very close games. The Dodgers split over their last two games edging the Tigers on the 28th and losing to the Bluejays last Monday. The Orioles remain winless but are play- ing better ball as they lost close ones to the Mets and the Tigers. In Peewee action the girls seem to be peaking just in time for the season finale on August 22nd as they came up with back to back victories beating Goderich and then Goderich Township. The boys are having a le ,ss easy t ime u the Allen's "A"s came up flat losing to the Goderich team while Radfords "Jays" also lost to the hard playing Colborne Township team. Last week saw a Jays vs A's game scheduled but due to holidays both teams were short and the remaining boys, augmented by some of the older Squirts, played a game a mongst themselves with Keith Allen's team coming up with the higher score. The Bantam boys continue Don Darrell has Blyth United service Don Darrell, Clinton, con- ducted the service at Blyth United Church on August 9, and Mrs. Don McNall was organist. Mrs. Harold Camp- bell and Mrs. Wightman are the elders greeting worship- pers in August and four members of the Caldwell families ushered on Sunday. Sermon topic: "Precious Promises". Mr. Darrell quot- ed numerous promises from the Bible, including "we are Dunlop Days on weekend Huron County Pioneer Mu- seum at Goderich hosts its second annual Tiger Dunlop Days this Saturday and Sun- day. "Our intention is to bring the past alive and familiarize people with the museum." says co-ordinator Terry Marshall. Dunlop was an original pioneer in the Huron Tract. This weekend's promotion includes contests, entertain- ment, demonstrations, dis- plays and beef -on -a -bun barbeques. At various times to be posted during the two-day event there will be entertain- ment by the Round Dancers of Bayfield; Klompen Danc- ers from Monkton; Wurlitzer Band, Scottish and Square Dancers from Goderich; Huron Strings; Clinton Wheel'n Dealers and Old- time Square Dancers; and guitarist and singer Earl Salter. There will be displays of candle -making, weaving, spinning, quilting, mat - hooking, rope -making, an- tique cars and a steam engine. Contests include nail - driving, bag -tying, log -saw- ing, and sheath -tying. There will also be pony and hay rides. All events happen between 1 and 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Admission is 31.50 for adults and S1 for students and senior citizens, and 50 cents for children. The admission price will also get you into the museum, but doesn't include the barbeque from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday. never alone," "God is every- where," "Christ does exactly what he says," and of course, the greatest, found in Mat- thew 28, "Lo, 1 am with you always to the end of the world." God needs our help, in keeping His promises. Think of a garden. God makes it grow, but we have to plant and care for it. True Christianity is trusting in God. And to all who trust and believe, God promises peace for our hearts, victory over problems. refuge, forgive- ness, faithfulness, and so much more. No one, even Government bodies, needs to carry burdens alone. Go to the source of power, and pray for direction. to have their ups and downs as they were trounced by Stanley Township in a game in Varna but turned it around the next week scoring an easy victory over their Auburn counterparts. The girls on the Midget team travelled to Colborne and came away on the short end of the scoresheet and then saw their game against Goderich Township cancelled as their opposition once again were no show. The evening was not an entire loss as Coach Brad Kennedy took the opportunity to stage an exhib- ition game of sorts. The girls and a couple of somewhat overage midgets (Red "Fire- ball" Allen, "Boomer Brom- ley and Howard "Hot Shot" Cartwright) showed some of the game's finer points to an alistar Bantam -Midget boys team. There are various re- ports as to the score but whatever the final was the boys had to concede. They certainly have never played a game quite like it. The Midget are also tuning up for their season -ending tournament on August 29th and doing it in fine style with victories over the past two weeks. The game against Vanastra showed both teams could play ball as Hullett took the win. In Slo Pitch action the Blazers split over the past two weeks. The Marauders are THE BLYTH STANDARD, A still looking for games while Aliboro posted back to back victories over Holmesville while tuning up for the Blyth Tournament. In the tournament the Allboro team played three of their better games. On Thurs- day evening in their opener Winthrop Warriors knew they were in a ballgame as they edged Aliboro by a 10-6 score. This put Allboro in the B Division where on Saturday Howard Cartwright faced the minimum 15 batters as All- boro posted an 11-0 5 inning victory over Westfield. Sun• day saw the Aliboro team go into the seventh inning with a five run lead and come out with a four run loss as Howson's erupted in a game ending rally. The game while being a tough one to lose showed a remarkable im- provement on the previous trouncing of 13 to 4 Howson's had scored earlier in the season. The Moms and Dads seem to be losing interest as there have not been enough out to organize teams the past two weeks. If you'd like to play come out tomorrow night -we can promise only one thing - fun. The Ladies teams are into playoffs and both teams will need strong effort s to win as Summerhill takes on Auburn and Londesboro meets Brussels. People Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Wallace have returned to their home in Lakewood. New Jersey after visiting for the past week with Mrs. Charlotte Bell and other relatives and attended the Morris Twp. Anniversary in Brussels. Mrs. W. Vincent, Blyth, received a thank -you note from The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana.

A section from that book is reprinted here. Morris Township. Past to Present by Jeanne Kirkby. Publishers -Morris Township Council. Copyright,1981. WORKING TOGETHER One of the outstanding characteristics of Morris Township people was their tendency to make many tasks lighter by sharing the work in a neighbourhood "bee", Held for many purposes. thew bees featured an amai• ing amount of work acccmtp• Iished, a spirit of competition between teams with the task divided into sections. plenty of good food available for the workers and a lively party or "jig" at the end of the evening to finish things up. Pranks and jokes were not uncommon on such occasions and served to liven up thti situation even more. WOOD BEES Planning a logging bee was no small affair. Prepar- ation had to be started systematically, far ahead of the time that the gang of workers was due to arrive. The farmer would choose an area of timber • about 10 acres • and have the timber • timber that was valuable cut and sent to the mill. The rest of the timber would be cut and lie fallow on the ground, several years if necessary. .until the bee was held. On the day of the bee, 20 or 30 hand spikes would be cut, trimmed and peeled, then put aside to stake out the fallow when the crew arrived. Usually a logging crew consisted of about 5 or 6 teams of oxen and horses with chains and strong har• ness, each team accompan- ied by about 5 men. When all was assembled and marked off, the teams would be in 24 Card of Thanks The family of the late Clifford Ritchie wish to express their sincere gratitude to all rela- tives, friends and neighbours for their kind expressions of ' sympathy, flowers, donations to the Salvation Army and Duffs' United Church Walton and other kind acts.

SPOOF • WOOD BEE AT ROBERT LAIDLAW'S: HURON EXPOSITOR, 1889 "At 8 o'clock in the morn- ing, men armed with saws and axes were heading out. At 9, they are into it. At 11 o'clock, 29 saws are going at lightning speed. At 12 o'clock. they are summoned to dinner served in a rude camp, At 12:35. the saws are filed, and back to work. At 2:40 the competition is keen, trees falling in all directions to the mingled sounds of 36 saws. I1 axes. and 6 pilers. Peter McFarlane who was stupefied by a falling limb. remains insensible at this point: the pilers declare not less than 130 cord. At 4:11, 143 cords are scored. McFar- lane shows signs of life. At 5 o'clock 1971/2 cords are piled up, the sick man is ahlc to walk home. and the rest are ready for the dance. There will be muxic by a string band but it will he over at a respectable hour." The early Morrisitcs en- joyed a bit of fun and were ready to get involved in every situation. right to the fullest. This is a story told by Howard Wilkinson in conver- sation with Ross Procter in 19/9,— "In those days, the young people had to make their own pleasure in the neighbour- hood.... My uncle wanted to get a joke on some of the others. so he thought this plan out to cause excitement, When they butchered pigs in the fall, when it got cold weather, they had this meat put away. My uncle gathered up the blood and he put in a quart sealer... When they got a nice snowfall and the river was frozen over; there had been a wood bee at McMurray's farm. He carried this pig's blood; he went down the road and walked in across the front field for a piece and then he sprinkled a little blood around on the snow. and a long tra ck until he got to a place in the river. He chopped a hole in the ice. and then from there he walked along to the centre abutment of the bridge and climbed out. Then he came back up to the road and walked in beside the other track and he toed in a little more, in order to make it look like two people and where he'd sprinkled the blood in the field, he dragged himself from there to this hole in the ice. He walked out his tracks ment. that was the topic there. 'Who had been murdered? It must be somebody.' So the next day. Bob Armstrong. he was our police magistrate • lived up on the 6th line • he was wondering what he should do and he was going to hitch up and go to Clinton and find out from a higher authority what he should do about it. There was nobody missing in the community that they knew of. But then, my uncle thought this had gone far enough, so when he told him, he said, "Don't you go to Clinton." "Well," Mr. Armstrong says, "Why didn't you tell me sooner.." There were a couple of fellows in the communilty that didn't get along well, and they thought that they had gotten into a fight. Garner Nicholson, who wore a beard, was remembered down on his knees looking in the hole on the ice, and his beard was hanging in lig icicles from being in the water when he'd been look- ing to see if he could see the body. Howard Wilkinson's uncle. who was the originator of this prank was George. Washington Wilkinson, com• monlyknow to his friends as "Wash" Wilkinson, BARN RAISING Early barns were usually built with a barn raising bee. Again they had to be care- fully prepared far ahead of time. The farmer would draw loads of stone. pile up a huge amount of sand and bring wagon loads of lime. There was no cement then. and so the mortar had to be mixed on the job, The timber for the building would have already been collected as part of the winter's logging. With ade- quate provisions laid by to feed the workers. the farmer was ready for the framer to arrive. First, the farmer would lay out the timbers and raise the frame, Some farmers that built many of the barns in Morris Township would in- clude R. Armstrong. "Big George" Procter and "Little George" Procter. Little George was an average -sized man with a beard. but by comparison. Big George was very big, On raising day, the people were invited. First the men would "raise all the bents'''. and then it was every men down from (the frame Two captains were chosen to call sides for the race to put on the main plates, the high plates. the purloin posts and the rafters. The head framer would give the word and the race was on. Besides wood bees and barn raisings, the most popu- lar types of bees in early Morris Township were the Manure Bees. In 1901, Rob- ert Young of the 6th Line held his regular one and 125 loads were hauled and speed. spread on the fields. In the late 1800's paring bees became popular as the bags of apples from the prolific orachards of the township were dried for the winter. In 1884, at Mr. wound up with a big meal and some entertainment. When the threshing mach- ines started to be used extensively to harvest the crops, the neighbourhood bees were an essential part of the operation. A large crew of harvesters was need- ed to feed the machine and every farmer that took part knew that his neighbour would be at his place when the machine moved into his barn. In the same manner, the women banded together in the kitchens, working co- operatively to prepare the mountains of food that would be consumed by the hungry workers. It really wasn't a bad way to get the work done. People worked together and had some fun while doing so. Neighbours were clo'.i: then and depended on each other to supply, in manpower, what today we try to do with machinery. THE DAILY ROUTINE John Barnhill. S' : Lot 21. Concession 9.

The white bean crop got off to a rough start because of root rot and drought but more recent wet conditions might also mean white mould could become a problem. Several fields were sprayed for it last week, Most plants have finished flowering and the cost s of spraying the crop at this stage might not result in yields that pay for it. "There is no fast and easy answer," says Mr, Heard. Consumers sympathize Continued from page 3 would be too late for the Huron group to have any say in where the lines would go. At the last meeting of the Listowel working group the meetings were postponed until November 7. because the summer months are busy ones for the farmers. Tony McQuail of R.R. 1, Lucknow, the vice-president of the Huron Federation of Agricul- ture and representative to the hydro meetings, said the decision to postpone the meetings was made by the executive. He added that in meetings prior to the Listowel meeting, groups involved from across Huron County agreed to having the meet• ings postponed. Mr. McQuail said farmers attending the meetings could not do an adequate job if they have the pressures of operat• ins the farm on them. He agreed Hydro would make its decision on October 31, but the final decision would not be until January or February 1982. He said once Hydro had a proposed route at the end of October, the groups would be Morris crowd 1400 Between 1300 and 1400 people registered for the Morris Township 125th celebrations last weekend, according to Wilfred Shortreed of Walton. one of the people in charge of registration.

It was pointed out the Huron Federation of Agricul- ture could not change the decision to postpone the meetings on its own. Bev Brown of the Blyth area said that for years the govern- ment would meet with farm- ers during the summer months, "The crucial season for the farmers". She said it would be "ridiculous" to go back on the decision now. Mr. Vos was the only person voting in favor of the motion. An amendment to the motion stating that the per- son attending the Listowel working group meetings be paid a per diem rate was also defeated.
