Reeve Ten Pas had submitted a one -sentence letter of resignation Thursday night and council used a joint meeting of council and the Public Utilities Commission which had been called to consider applications for the clerk-treasur• er's job to consider it. Before the meeting Deputy Clerk -Treasurer Ruth Sauve read a prepared statement in which she expressed disappointment in the council for its inability to get along and said the council had so much to doat this time with a clerk•treasur- er to be hired, the budget and mill rate to be set in the next two weeks and major development projects underway tobewithout a reeve, She urged the councillors to persuade Mr. Ten Pas to come back for at least a month. In addition she circulated a letter which had been signed by 20 village residents and delivered to the office late Monday afternoon calling for Mr. Ten Pas to stay on as reeve. After considerable discussion Mr. Tcn Pas was telephoned and asked to come to the meeting and explain why he had resigned. Mr. Ten Pas said that his four months on council had beenvery disappointing to him'that he' had hoped things would improve and organized a couple of special . meetingstotrytotalkproblemsout. but instead things seemed to fie.' getting worse, "1 was dreading going to council, vKondering what fight I wasgoing to:,have to referee."

VOL.2 NO. 16 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16,1986 40 CI County proposes new highway About 50 arca residents attend- ed a meeting at the Auburn Com- munity Hall on Friday night to con- sider the alternative routes propos- ed by Huron County to replace Bali's Bridge. After those present had a chance to peruse aerial photographs show- ing the five alternatives and sec profiles of the preferred route, Bob Bell, chairman of the county's roads committee called the meet- ing to order, Bob Dempsey, county engineer, explained that Ball's Bridge comes under county juris- diction because it Is on the boundary between two townships even though the roads 100 feet from either side of the bride are township roads. Currently, he said, there are only two other river crossings, one at Auburn and one at Holmesville 'which means that large parts of Colborne and Goderich townships do not have easy access to the cast Colborne townsbtp"reeveIRus„u Kernlgluo"shows reporter. mete side of the river, For.

Given the situation he didn't see any sense in trying to stick out his three-year term and it was better to get it ovcr with. Commissioner Harold Bridges asked if any of the problem was the PUC and Mr. Ten Pas said no. After questioning, he said he was willing to withdraw his resignation if people felt that could make a new start. Councillor Gordon Workman replied, "It's very easy to blame somebody else but there were a lot of things that got kicked out of order in here, -a lot of things that got laughed off or kicked under the table." ' He brought up the subject ofa proposed use of the old fair- grounds, (Railer in the meeting the council, without Mr. Ten Pas, had agreed toheara presentation to turn the old palace at the old fairgrounds into a stable,) Councillor Betty Graber who chaired the meeting, said that the management committee seemed to be one of the matters of contention and she would agree to the disbanding of the committee of which she is chairman. Councillor Workman said he couldn't stand the constant bicker- ing tither and couldn't face it for three years. Councillor Dave Boynton said that problems arose because a lot Continued on Pg. 2, to Clinton Hospital fund Blyth village councillors got the answers they wanted about the Clinton Hospital obstetrical wing addition and Clinton hospital fundraisers got the grant they were looking for. Last month council had postpon- ed action on a request from the hospital for a grant of $1,800 this year and a similar grant next year. Instead council had asked that representatives from the hospital explain more about the project and how they had arrived at the allocation they were asking Blyth to give. Appearing at Blyth council on Tuesday night last week, Doug Coventry, former hospital admini- strator and chairman of the fundraising committee and Bar- bara Howson, Blyth member of the Clinton Hospital Board of Direc- tors, outlined the plans. The addition will provide a scven•bcd obstetrical wing, Barbara Howson explained which will allow for a more natural birthing environ- ment for mothers. There will be two labour delivery rooms equipp- ed with birthing beds so that mothers will not have to be moved from the labour room to a delivery room. In addition there will be a sterile delivery room for more difficult cases. Mrs. Howson explained that Doctors Steed and Salisbury and their expertise in obstetrics has drawn people from all over the county to have their babies at the Clinton hospital. More difficult births which would formerly have gone to London hospitals will be able to stay closer to home with the facilities offeredby the new addition, she said. Once the addition is completed, the chronic care section of the hospital will be moved into the arca formerly occupied by the obstetri- cal department. This will improve the chronic cart facilities, moving them into an arca more easily evacuated in cast of emergency and will be better in terms of noise, That move will free up the former chronic care area for dining facilities for chronic care patients. Presently there arc 34 active beds and 13 chronic care beds at the Clinton hospital. Total cost of the project is $800,000 and S400,000 will be providcdbytheOntarioMinistryof Health. A further S150,000 will be paid by Huron county. Of the remainder, $48,000 has been budgeted to come from the mu nicipal ities scrycd by the hospi- tal Mr. Convcntry explained that since Dr. Hay has come to Blyth, 'admissions from Blyth have in• creased to 6.5 per ccnt of total admissions compared to 5.48 per cent before. Because some pa- tients using the hospital are from Huronvlew and some from other communities that already have their own hospitals and would not be likely to donate to Clinton hospital, the cost formula was divided among the 85 per cMtt of the hospital users from arca Thus, Mrs. Howson explained, the costing formula took the original allocation to municipall- les of $48,000, divided it by 85 percent and multiplied by the 6.5 per cent of users from Blyth for a total allocation to Blyth of $3,600: This in turn was spread over two years for a cost of 51,800 per year. Reeve Albert Wasson asked if this was a one-time cost or if it was just the first of a number of additions planned for the hospital, Mrs. Howson said that there are other projects being considered such as a new operating room but nothing as large as this project, Mr. Convcntry said that after the hospital was nearly closed several years ago there were a lot of things needed to bring it back up to today's standards. Councillor Bill Manning congra- tulated the representatives on their presentations saying it was nice to have such a presentation from Clinton since Wingham hospital had always made a presentation when they were undergoing an expansion. Later in the council meeting council voted to grant S900 in June and another $900 in December to meet this year's allocation, ffiriaraMTMAN 20 page Farm Supplement included in this issue ff9 �h' .YI•i '9'�+%f!f.77h'�'Y�irvh':• municipalities. 2/s','k. c•`" .awa'SZINI ;�G. Kitchener to Londesboro but there is a gap before the system picks up again at Bcnmiiler. The replace- ment for Ball's bridge gave the opportunity to do something about that, he said. He said the existing bridge has been posted with 2 tonne load limits after Ken Dunn of B, M. Ross and Associates engineering firm had measured the beams, etc. and, taking into account the possible deterioration of the materials, had decided the two tonne limit was the safety limit. Later the Ministry of Transport and Communications had tested the bridge using weightsonamulti-axled truck.The truck had held 32 tonnes but by the time the MTC took into account the number of axles and the fact the truck was barely creeping across the bridge and the regular traffic. goes considerably faster (putting more stress on the brid'ge), recommended two tonnes be the limit for a two -axle vehicle and more weight could be allowed for more axles: • Theold Ball's Bridge is being considered by the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture for possi- ble heritage value and latest correspondence says that there is some value in it, Mr. Dempsey said, Kenn Dunn then explained to the meeting the five alternatives that have been considered. Alter- natives four and five meant virtually parralleling the old bridge with another 50 meters up or downstream. Both were not fa- voured because they would mean two bridges in the water within a few feet of each other which might cause ice build up problems. In addition the new bridge would not be part . of a good east -west interconnecting road system, since both would use the old township roads.. three would see a bridge built farther downstream to connect with the Londesboro road (Hullett concession 8 and 9) but would use the old Colborne township road and would require considerable reconstruction a- round the "little lakes" arca of Colborne to make the road capable of carrying more traffic which would probably destroy this scenic arca. Alternative two would have seen the original bridge replaced with a new four -span bridge. The bridge itself would cost SI,072,800 which, with extra road work needed on the approaches, would increase to 51,217,900, This alternative would give no better road access since it uses the old road, would destroy the old Ball's Bridge and the scenic drive around the Little Lakes if the road was later upgraded to im- prove traffic flow. The preferred route is alterna- tive one which would see a new bridge built 1,5 km. south of the current bridge and a new road built as an extension of the Bcnmiiler road which would cross the river and link up with Hullett concession Continued on Pg. 3 PAGE 2.

A local resident warns that there arc salesmen going door to door in Brussels offering deals on frozen poultry, seafood and steaks that turn out to be less than great deals. This resident got talked into buying a box of frozen chicken nuggets and a box of boneless chicken breasts for a total cost of S99. Later when she had a chance to consider the purchase and com- pare prices she discovered the chicken nuggets cost about 43 cents each, more than Kentucky Fried Chicken sells its chicken nugget meals at. The chicken breasts worked out to 52.61 per chicken breast, a pretty expensive meal. Once again this niay prove the value of shopping locally. Councillor Malcolm Jacobs said what had upset him about the fairgrounds project was not a decision against it at council (which had never been made) but a clerk going against council's wishes and telling the people involved to see, the planning department. Councillor Workmansaid hewas sorry for the situation that had developed but "if that's what comes from trying to stick up for what I believe, I guess that's what comes". Councillor Jacobs told Mr. Ten Pas he would like to see him sit and help consider the applications for clerk -treasurer. A motion by coun- cillors Jacobs and Graber to have council reject the resignation and ask Mr. Ten Pas to resume the chair was passed and the Reeve resumed chairing the meeting which went into committee of the whole to consider the applications.

Blyth, Hullett study changes in dump operation Blyth and Hullett township have appointed a management commit- tee for the joint operation of the waste disposal site in Hullett township and the committee's report to Blyth village council last week shows there may be some • changes in the operation of the site. The committee, chaired by Hullctt Reeve Tom Cunningham and including Hullett councillor Victor Stackhouse and Blyth Coun- cillors William Manning and Lloyd Sippel recommended that all keys to the dump be turned in and only the dump attendant be given a new key. The committee feels that it is not fair to the site superintendent to have to answer to the Ministry of Environment irispcctors when he doesn't have complete control of who has access to the site. Village council had some discussion as to whether a key should be left with other village or township officials so that people who need to use the site on short notice would be able to get in.

Cost of the bridge alone is estimated at 51,100,400 with the additional roadbuilding (exclusive of land and legal costs) increasing the entire cost of the project to 51,888,400. Mr. Dempsey explained that the MTC has agreed to pick up 80 per cent of the cost of the bridge as a county -owned boundary bridge and has agreed that if alternative one is pursued, it would agree to the new road becoming part of the county road system, making it subject to the same funding as other county roads. He pointed out that the Londesboro Road had been a county road until it was turned back to the township in 1963. MTC had warned however that if the old Ball's Bridge remains in place it will never spend any money on maintenance or replacement. Mr. Dunn had estimated that the bridge would averageS6,200ayear for maintenance over the next 10 years.

The old Ball's Bridge will remain where it is for another 10 years but if anything should happen to it the county will not replace it. Most questioning seemed to be concerned with the extra traffic the new county road would channel through Benmillcr, particularly salt and gravel trucks that Wright use it as a shortcut over the Highway 8 or County Road 25 routes in getting to Highway 401. Hazlitt said that the road would see higher speeds through the scenic village. Mr. Dempsey agreed but said he doubted the big trucks would use the route unless they were headed for Kitchener since the road connection with 401 was not as good, But the notivation for building the bridge and the new route is to provide better service locally, he said. The county is not being pushed by MTC to build the road to take traffic off Highway 8. But Colborne reeve Russell Kern- ighan agreed with the charge that another east -west truck route is the Grade 11 team of 3 competitors, and Shannon, on the Grade 10 team of 3, each received a medal.

The new bridge will give hint much quicker access to Londesboro for feed, etc. he said but "I don't think this highway is being built just for ntc." He predicted in a few years heavy truck use would increase greatly. Mr. Dempsey said that traffic counts at the county road at Winthrop lead him to believe the trafficon the road will be about 400 vehicles a day, local and long- distance traffic. Hullett councillor Victor Stack- house asked what consideration has been given to the economic spinoff of the new road. Mr. Dempsey said the construction of the bridge would create jobs but the socio-economic impact had not been studies. Hullett Clerk -treasurer Harry Lear said the proposed new road had created a great deal of interest in the Londesboro area and most reaction, particularly from people who use facilities like the feed mill and the corn drying plant, is positive. No final action was taken by the meeting. Environment is insisting there be no burning at arca waste sites. Councillor Lloyd Sippel wondered if co-ordinated action by all arca councils affected could bring ac- tion, "We're convinced that con- trolled burning is best," he said, Reeve Albert Wasson agreed, saying that in a small community it was possible to properly sort the garbage out so that burnable garbage can be burned with quick, hot fires. Councillor Tom Cronin warned that if an open attempt to organize resistance to the Ministry's regu- lations fell through, "they're going to be sitting on our doorstep watching." "I don'twanttoendangcrthe environment, but when you really beieve that what you're proposing is better for the environment, you feel guilty if you don't do some- thing," Reeve Wasson said. • MR.&MRS.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1986. 4 nTtnaf,o�,, Might is right It came as a horrible shock to Canadians in general and the federal government in particular to learn last week that a lot of Americans aren't very happy about the prospect of free trade with Canada. The U.S. congressional committee in charge indicated it may not go along with President Reagan's desire to open free trade talks with Canada. They're upset with Canadian imports of lumber and potatoes and hogs which they feel are unfairly subsidized, But the real fact is that the Americans arc out to use any lever they can to get a better deal for themselves. Prime Minister Mulroney may talk about wanting fairer trade but few Americans use the term except as a way of trying to win their point. Ontario Corn Producers recently heard from a U.S. official who answered Canadian farmers' concerns about massive aid to American fanners in the new U.S. Farm Bill by warning Canadians not to try to retaliate with countervailing duties or there would be trouble. "The whole integrity of the Congress is behind us," said Allan Tank, a representative of the American National Corn Growers Association warning Canadian growers. "Anyone who wants to get into this war is certainly welcome." What Mr, Mulroney and others forget is that while Mr. Reagan may be a believer in free trade, Americans in general arc in a very agressivc mood. They feel they've been kicked, around too long and that goes for other countries who better them in trade as much as it does Libyan terrorist raids. Mr. Regan has whipped up American nationalism to take on the Reds whether in Russia or Nicaragua. He has sicked his navy bombers on the "mad dog" in Libya: Americans have an attitude of having the "right" to be the winners. They aren't too worried about being "fair". Thanks to the writers There's a big gap in our paper this week now that the hockey season has finally ended and ball season hasn't yet begun. One of the arcas we were most happy with in our newspaper in the last few months has been the sports coverage. The coverage hasn't been as complete as we would have liked it to be in the Blyth and Belgraveareas but we did have one of the liveliest sports sections around. That was nocredittothecditorbut to the hard working sports writers out there who did a super job. Special thanks for coverage in the Brussels arca goes, of course, to Lois McArter who made surejust about anything that wore hockey skates got reported in the Citizen. But thanks goes too to the people who provided the information to Lois. Special thanks goes to Rusty Blades in Blyth who helped give real personality to the sport pages. Next hurdle for The Citizen is to Lind people who will give us top flight coverage in sports over the summer months. The challenge is even bigger because there are softball programs in all the smaller centres we cover as well. We want to give the best coverage we can but we need your help. If youareacoachorparent, makesurewegetashort acount of your team's activities. If we get your help maybe we can meet the challenge tomake the summer sports pages just as interesting as Lois and Rusty and all the others have made the winter sports pages. Why we need elections The current mess in Brussels council (it would be nice to think it's a past mess) is another example of just why we need elections. Certainly there is noguarantce that even if there had been an election in Brussels last fall the village wouldn't have the same conflicting personalities leading to the same split in council, but at least people would have had a chance to choose for themselves. As it is this council happened as much by accident as anything else.. It doesn't matterwhichsideofthe split you side with, one has to agree that having two factions on council that can agree on little more than what time to set the next council meeting for, is not a healthy situation. When there is an election; the voters at least get a chance to look at the potential councillors, see who might lean in this direction or that, see if there might be conflicts of personalities and then make a choice. The result might make no difference but at (cast people would have had a chance to have their say. Let's hope that when election limy, rolls around in 1988 (and let's hope not before), more people will offer themselves for council and offer a real choice.

MONDAY: Julia Flint said she was reading in the paper that it now costs $300,000 to raise a kid from the time he's born until the time he's finished university. Put that together with the fact that hundreds of kids get kidnapp- ed never to be returned and the kidnappers must sure be pretty stupid, she figures. •Tim O'Grady says there are people who arc even worse. Imagine the people who hire lawyers to go to court at great expense to fight over the custody of children when it means if you win you get to pay out all that money, he said. News briefs from Blyth council Council said at its meeting last week there there arc no regulations to affect the operation of an arcade in the location now occupied by "the Kitchen Cupboard". Mrs. Pat Lucas had asked if there were any licences required. Although council did not have any regula- tions to cover the facility, it did express concern about the hours the arcade night keep and about the amount of money some young people might be tempted to spend in such an establishment. A report from the Ministry of the Environment informed council that tests on the two village wells showed one of the wells with a higher than recommended level of iron. Clerk Larry Walsh said that the PUC felt one of the causes could be that the well in question hadn't been used for a week and the concentration .may have been higher than normal. Normally pumping is switched between the two wells every two or three days.

Writer supports pool THE EDITOR: As a citizen and taxpayer of the Township of Grey 1 was greatly disturbed by the report of the Brussels council meeting in the April 9, 1986 edition ofThe Citizen. 1 felt it necessary to reply to some of these statements and opinions. The Brussels Lions Club has pledged to pay for the full cost of the pool, including interest. Do councillors Workman and Jacobs doubt the word and the integrity of the Brussels Lions Club? Brussels is not stuck, as Mr. Workman states, backing the pool committee. It is ajoint venture under the Recreation Committee which consists of the three munici- palities of Brussels, Grey and Morris. Each municipality contri- butes to the Recreation fund. Councillor Workman repeatedly says that he is not against the pool. If this is true, then why does he continue at every opportunity to thwart the successful completion of this project? Is councillor Workman trying to brainwash (a term he has used very lightly) the people of Brussels with half truths and innuendo, When the present council was elected the pool project had already been approved. It is the responsibility of this council to uphold that commitment just as the Lions Club must uphold theirs. if the word of the Brussels Council is no good from one year to the next then who will want to do business with them?, There is a serious question of credibility at stake here. I would like to point out to Mr. Jacobs that this project will bring five new jobs with It. These positions will be filled by young people, an age group that desper- ately needs more jobs. The village will also benefit through the sale of its water and hydro, etc. Lastly, you can not convince me that mothers bringing children in for lessons will not stop and do some shopping here. No one is giving any money away. The Recreation Committee has been alloted funds from each of this three municipalities.

Writers call for positive attitude from councillors Continued from page 4 and any other recreational endea- vor. When the arena was built did Brussels have the moncy in the bank? Of course not. The arena was built on a hope and a prayer and it was the co-operation and dedica- tion of the people of Brussels, Grey and Morris that made it a reality. We now need the same co-opera- tion and community spirit to make the pool a success. The Lions Club is giving the community a first rate facility free of charge. It is now time for those people in public positions to stop their complaining and to get behind the pool and help make it the success it deserves to be. if Mr. Workman continues to be so opposed to the pool then the right and honourable thing for him to do is to resign as Chairman of the Recreation Committee and voice his opposition from the floor, not from the Chairman's chair. MRS. M. VAN KEULEN THE EDITOR: "Council never needed two meetings before and the councillor didn't think they needed two now." It's a statement that by itself doesn't generate much discussion. However, it doesn't represent an underlying attitude, a negativism and resistance to change, which tends to permeate small communi- ties. Put a question to anyone in any organization as to why something is done in a particular way and the answer you frequently get is "that's the way it has always been done." it is a fact, not an illusion that change is inevitable. Whether we like it or not, changes are related to social conditions, economic condi- ions, population movement, etc. Take a look at any small community in the last 10 years and ask the residents how much things have changed. They'll tell you that "only tight years ago we had five grocery stores, three hardware stores, three hotels, two clothing stores, a dry goods store, a shoe store etc., and now - well you know the answer." In the case of some unfortunate villages - no stores - period. Dying towns and villages, creat- ed by numerous changes arc everywhere. Rural population is way down, there is no longer one family per 100 -acre farm. Indu- stries and businesses which were essential tocommunitics years ago are no longer needed or are forced out of business by large corpora- tions. Things changel It's a fact of life. We, the citizens, have a respon- sibility tocnsure that our commun- ities change too. We must always look to the future and encourage progress. At municipal election time we have a responsibility to choose councillors to manage and repre- sent our communities in a progrcs- Heart Fund exceeds goal for Huron County Barney Goldsmith, Campaign Chairman of the Huron County Chapter of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario announced last week, following meetings with the County Treasurer Mrs. Jean Hildebrand of Seaforth, that the Heart Fund canvas has exceeded its goal of $45,000 by 13,500. Campaign workers arc elated with the success of the canvass and the generosity of the people of Huron who have demonstrated their commitment to the work of the Foundation. According to Goldsmith, these significant re- sults are due to the dedication and enthusiasim of many people; but, notably because of the sustained effort of the Town and Arca Chairs who assumed a major portion of the work load. Special mention was also accord- ed to the local media and ad sponsors for making the Heart Foundation's work visible in the community during February.

We need councillors who are intelligent and realistic enough to know that they must do things to encourage industry, business and people to locate in our community. We must choose pcoplc who are open -mind - cd, able to compromise, able to give thoughtful deliberation to decisions, who, once a decision is made, do everihing in their power to ensure that goal is accomplished quickly and smoothly. We must, once council is appointed, give credit where credit is due and challenge negative, regressive actions. With that thought in mind, let me on behalf of numerous Brussels, Morris and Grcy citizens first commend Brussels, Morris and Grcy in regard to the Industrial Commission and Recreation Agreement, all progressive and positive moves looking to the future of our communities. An expression of gratitude gots to those people responsible for the creation and operation of our new newspaper "The Citizen", to those people responsible for the building of the Brussels, Morris and Grcy Community Centre, who had to challenge negative attitudes to move ahead, to the ladies on the Recreation Catering Group who help finance recreation, to the Optimists for their support of recreational youth and community activities, to the Curling Club for their 54,000 donation to recreation, to the Legion, Oddfellows, Rebe- kahs, church organizations, minor sports, figure skating association, coaches and all those people who volunteer their time and money in the name of community better- ment. Lastly, let nrethank the Lions for all their community services past and present, but in particular for their insight, time, hard work and money in providing this commun- ity with a pool and in doing so will provide another form of recreation and youth employment. Citizens it's up to you. Encour- age and praise those people and organizations who adapt to change and try to make this community better and challenge and stand up to those who resist change in a negative and regressive step back- wards.

In addition to points being awarded for personal attendance and the bringing of new people, stress is being placed also upon the memorization of Scripture, with the result that, all over the church, people can be heard quoting the verse for the week.

B111 Brady was the featured speaker at th e annual dinner and meeting of Town and Country Homemakers. Head table guests Included Maggie and Bruce MacDonald, board chairman Laurette Stegner and executive director Jean Young. BYYVONNEREYNOLDS "This coming year will be an exciting challenge", executive director Jean Young told those attending the Town and Country Homemakers' annual dinner meeting, held April 8 in the Goderich township hall at Holmes• villa Young was referring to the still - unknown effects on the agency of a program announced in January by the provincial government to help frail, elderly and disabled people • stay in their homes instead of being forced into institutions. Huron County is one of six sites selected for the pilot project, which will fund both improvement in a variety of home and community support systems for needy seniors, and expand the homemaker ser- vice now provided by the social services and health ministries, Under this new program, appli- cants will only have to demonstrate need; current recipients of Home- maker services must qualify through financial or health needs tests which have denied service to some who wished tostay in their own homes. Board chairman Laurctta Siegn- er noted in her report that removal of the means test could result in an increase of as much as50 percent in the number of seniors taking advantage of the homemakers': services. In anticipation of the expected increase in demand, 22 new homemakers are now being train- ed, Young said. She predicted the government program may mean a reversal of the previous ratio whereby private clients purchased 66.5 percent of the agency's services, and the Home Care Program accounted for 31.5 per- cent. (Allocations from the provin- cial ministry of community and social services allowed Town and Country Homemakers to subsidize the rate charged to private clients through Home Support for the Elderly.) Seaforth's Betty Cardno, whose efforts contributed to the forma- tion of Town and Country Home- makers, said the Integrated Home- maker Program, administered by the Huron County health unit and the board of health, is due to begin May 1. Cardno said the program is strictly homemaking, not home Care. "This program is designed to supplement rather than replace what friends and relatives are • doing", Cardno observed. Service will be purchased from Town and Country Homemakers, whose trained Homemakers will provide emotional support and encouragement while assisting elderly and disabled persons with meal planning, shopping, clean- ing, laundry, ironing, personal cart, assistance in walking and getting in and out of bed, eating, dressing, and other activities pertaining to normal living and maintaining the individual's health and well being. Sicgner said that as Huron County has been chosen as one of six test site areas, the Town and Country Homemakers board of directors will have to be "vigilant in estimating procedures, as our handling of the new program will doubtless affect government im- plementation of this program." Inclusion in the provincial pro- ject is another milestone for Town and Country Homemakers, which has grown rapidly since its found- ing in1978.Lastyearapproximate- ly 80 Homemakers hired within Huron County supplied 61,502 hours of service to residents of this county. The annual budget has increased 62 percent in the past five years to over $490,000 in 1985, making the agency a major contri- butor to the economic health of Huron County. Guest speaker at the annual meeting was Bill Brady, founder and president of Transplants International. Brady cited some touching examples of organ reci- pients who had gone from near death to a new experience of l i fe after receiving a liver or heart transplant. Hullett school. students win at 4th Science Fair Hullett Central Public School held its annual science fair on April 4 with students from Grade 7 and 8 entering a number of interesting displays. The winners in the physical Grade 7 group were Lana Law- rence, third place; Kevin Wright, second place and Mike Merncr, first place. In the Grade 7 biological section the winners were: Tracy Kennedy and Shane Taylor tied for second and in first place was Shannon Duizer.

In the biological section Anita Gross was the winner with Leona Cunningham placing se- cond and Theresa Knox in third place. The school sold cheese to raise money for student council uses. The students raised approximately 51,200. Mrs. Cooke's Grade 5 class is currently writing to their penpals at Brookside Public School near Lucknow. - Public attitudes have changed, Brady said, and people no longer think the subject ghoulish. Brady read two letters with the same theme - a beloved family member had been killed in tragic circum- stances, and the writers regretted not donating organs that would have given life to someone else, and meaning to the loved one's death. Brady said there are still not enough donors, and only 25 out of 100 sign the consent form on their drivers' licences. He said four little children arc waiting now at University Hospital for liver trans- plants, Brady urged his audience to sign the consent on their licences, and to tell their families what they have done. He said that older people could give someone else sight by donating their corneas. He assured his audience that actuarial tables show most people do not die under circumstances where their organs are used. Terming every transplant proce• durc a court of last resort Brady concluded by saying that giving and serving are the greatest achievements of the human spirit.

Brussels pool on schedule, committee says Everything is right on schedule for the May 15 completion date of the Brussels swimming pool and now is the time to put the fundraising drive over the top, members of the Brussels Lions Swimming Pool committee said last week. Gerrit Van Keulen, RR 2, Bluevale, chairman of the building committee said the snow last week had had little effect on the project as most work is now on the interior of the building. The solar collectors to heat the pool will probably be installed early this week. The addition to the change house and equipment room are both up and all undergroundplumbingis installed in the change and washrooms with the cement flours poured. Soon the pipes will be pressor- ized and, once all possible Teaks have been found, the deck around the pool will be poured. Mr. Van Kculen said the contractors involv- ed nvolyed in the project have been aware of the deadline on the project and eager to comply. At the moment, all seems go for the May 15completionand the first swimming lessons are scheduled to begin June 2. The solar heating will help extend the season for the pool and keep the water at a more average temperature. Meanwhile Bruce Hahn, chair- man of fundraising reported that the drive is one third of the way toward the goal of $45,000. Now with the final construction bills coming in is the time for the fundraising campaign to kick into full gear, he said. He emphasized that donations of all sizes arc welcome and said donations have ranged from 510 to 54,000 to date. He said the committee is hoping to avoid doing a door-to-door canvass and is hoping that with the pool opening in a little over a month, supporters will now come forward with their support. Paul Mutter, chairman of the pool committee said the final cost of the pool will likely reach about 592,000, up from the original S80,000 estimate. The Increase involves quality, he said, because the committee applied for and received a 514,132 Wintario grant for the village to help install equipment which was not in the original plans. This grant in addition has meant that the swimming pool will not use so much of the village's Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Pro- ject grant, allowing the village to reallocate this money to other projects in the village, he said. The pool will be slightly narrow- er than the original plan, 28 by 60 feet instead of30 by 60 feet, but the deck area will be larger. Cost in this arca will increase 51,800 over the original estimate. Fencing increas- ed 52,177 over the original esti- mate because the new fence also provides wind screen and privacy instead of the plain chain-link fence originally planned. Costs of the drawings for the project arc nearly triple the original 51,000 estimat. Building BRUSSELS MORRIS & GREY COMMUNITY POOL Brussels Lions request your help to fill the pool renovations are likely to be $11,000 over the original 516,000 estimate because the size of the building has been increased and there were major roof renovations. On the other hand, the cost of deck equipment will likely be 58,000 below the original projection. Site preparation, which was not consid- ered in the original budget, will cost 53,110. A booth will be set up at the Brussels Lions Tradefest on May 2 to 4 for anyone interested in learning about the programs offer- ed at the pool this spring.

Wawanosh special education classes relocated BY RHEA HAMILTON-SEEGER East Wawanosh students at- tending special education classes will be offered broader programm- ing options next fall, The Huron Board of Education learned last Monday that Linda Train's class at East Wawanosh will be relocated to Wingham Public School next fall where a greater level of staff support and programming options will be available. Parents ofstudcnts involved will be able to learn more about the proposed move from the principal. Mso starting in September will be the addition of a grade seven class at Vanastra Public School, It is presently operating as a kinder- garten to grade six facility. The local community has been interest - cd in having grades 7 and 8 at Vanastra. Grade 8 will be included in the 1987 school year. The Board agreed to support the Basic Literacy Programs in the county with a needs survey and • advertisement campaign. Joan Van den Broeck reported that the Education Committee did not want to infringe on the autonomy of the group but would like to see the board 'nurture' the program. In Godcrich the Adult Basic Literacy program is run by Pat Spence and volunteer tutors. 1t is financed by donations. There are 11 adult students' meeting once a week. Carol Simons Is in charge of the English as'a Second Language program. This is geared to new Canadians learning English. There are nine students and one teacher in Clinton, 32 students and four teachers at Godcrich and 12 students with one teacher at Exeter. The Board passed the 1986.87 calendar. it includes a minimum of 185 teaching days which includes up to 15 days for secondary school exams and an extra 9 days for Blyth Block Parents see film The Block Parent Committee presented a Canadian film, "Children Take Care" at the Blyth Public School April 8. A small group of parents and children were in attendance. The film dealt with sexually abused children and drinking and driving. According to 1983 statistics 100 thousand children cachyearwill be sexually abused in Canada. One in four girls and one in ten boys, all before the age of sixteen. Half the abusers will just fondle their victims with the other 40 - 50 percent will have intercourse or attempt intercourse, The youngest recorded victim was a three month old baby. Most children never tell because they don't think they will be believed and they don't know how to tell others what has happened to them. Three Stranger Questions Your Children Should Ask are; a) Do I have a Yes or No feeling about this person? b) Does someone 1 know and trust know where I am? c) Can I get help if 1 need it? Sexual offenders prey on, quote, "good children". They use bribery and flattery to get then to do what they want. It is important to educate children. Body language's important. Looking strong, feeling strong and saying, "No" will be a deterrent. Getting your child involved in programs to keep hint physically fit will give your child confidence in his ability to handle certain situations. itisimportanl to rehearse a safety plan. If your child has been sexually abused there are five things you should do. Tell your child: I) 1 believe you; 2) l'nt glad that you told me; 3) 1t is not your fault) 4)1 am sorry this happened to you; 5)1 am going to do something about it. At all tines you should know where your child is and who he or she iswith. Your child should know where his parents are. Start looking as soon as you realize your child is missing. The younger the child the sooner you should start looking. Everyday 71 children don't conic home because of car accidents and of those, eight never come home, Twenty-six thousands are injured every year, 3,000 will die. These arc Canadian statistics. Half of the children between the ages of 5. 19 who die, die in motor vehicle accidcnt5. Inexperienced drinking and inexperienced driving is the No. 1 cause. A university professor suggests: a)waiting until age i Stoget license b) taking certified drivers training c) should be able to operate vehicle fully - buy insurance, gas, etc. d) show parents they arc responsi- ble. professional development. Board members were concerned that PD days be scheduled when there were other educational events taking place where the parents could take the students. i.e, Royal Winter Fair. Robert Allen, Director of Education, said there is a lot of intense lobbying from various fall fair groups etc, whowould like tobe considered the educational option on PD days. Forty-six art students from F. E. Madill won over S26,000 worth of prizes Including airline tickets return to Expo, three-day passes to Expo, Expo T-shirts, and Pacific Western flight bags. The board learned of the win and that the students are now looking at fund raising for ground transportation and accommodation while in Van- couver this summer. While on the matter of trips the board reviewed its conferences policy and approved a motion to keep the thcprescntpolicy with the executive hearing any requests from interested board members and thcn determining the request. The policy now allows any member ofthe board and senior administrator to attend a confer• enccorconvention in the province. Outside the province the restric- tion is to the chairman, one member of the board and Director of Education or delegated admini- strator. The board approved the move to eliminate the use of "Trainable Retarded" in reference to the schools Golden Circle which will now be affiliated with Wingham PublicSchool, Huron Hopewith J.. D. McCurdy, Huron Park; and Queen Elizabeth with Victoria Public School, Godcrich. While the spirit of the move was good, the problems arising from this were evident when referring to staffing formulae reference to these three facilities was made by their previous names. When considering enrolments and staffing for both elementary and secondary schools, the figures indicate an increased enrolment and therefore more teachers. In the county elementary schools should sec 5,933 students up from 5,910 this year. Over323 teachers will be nccdcd. In the secondary level there will be 3,771 students down from 3,776 and 242.5 teachers will be needed.

Looking at nitrogen for better winter wheat BYJOHNHEARD SOILS AND CROPS SPECIALIST ONTARIO MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD Presently producers are plann- ing to apply their Nitrogen and red clover seed to the winter wheat crop. Let's work through the logic involved inmaking the'right. N application decision. In order for N topdressing to be profitable, an adequate wheat stand must survive the winter. Early topdressing will promote filtering, but the plants must be there. So far most stands look good, so we'll assume N applica- tion is warranted. Which nitrogen source should be used? Theoretically, there are several factors involved in choos- ing the most efficient N source. Agronomically though, Ontario research has been able to measure no yield differences between spring applied N sources to winter wheat, so fertilizer should be chosen on the price per unit N. Dividing the cost of fertilizer by the percent N in the product gives us the cost per unit N of the fertilizer. If after comparing sever- al sources of N we find the cost per unit N 10 be similar • then we may wish to consider some individual characteristics of the fertilizer. These characteristics of N fertilizer tend to center around N loss prior to plant use. Urea is known to lose some ammonia N through volatilization when surface applied to soils that are warm and dry. Fortunately, few of our springs arc warm and dry enough to facilitate much loss. Since UAN or '28 percent N is a combination of urea and ammon- ium nitrate, there also exists some potential for urea N loss through volatilization. Some fertilizer com- panies are marketing an acid form of UAN that slows this volatiliza- tion reaction for a small additional cost per unit N. This past week a Guelph researcher presented a sccnerio where even ammonium nitrate losses may occur duc to denitrification if the upper 1.2" of soil is waterlogged and the soil is warmed by the sun. Gosh! Fellows could lose sleep over their selection of N fertilizer source, Thank goodness, which- ever one of the above sources that they do select, they will get the same yield. If we really want to see N fertility effects on yield, we Charles C. Culbert 'Backhoeing & Tiling Open Ditch Weeper Beds Septic Tanks CALL: 529-7571 should look at timing ofapplica• tion, retool N and spread patterns, but not sources. Yield penalties for untimely N application occurs when we apply N too late. N should be applied in April, and timing will depend more on soil conditions than on my advice on dates or growth stages. l mean N will go on in early April when the ground is frozen, or in mid to late April when the ground is sufficiently dry, A reminder is that the best catches of red clover will be from the early seeding period when the soil is frozen. • Research from Ridgctown (R.C.A,T.Ishows no yield increase due to splitting the N application when total N rates exceed 70 lbs. N/acre. This is for soft white winter wheat. For hard red winter wheats needing 160.190lbs. N/acre, a split or multiple split application is preferred. The nitrogen rate for soft white winter wheat varies with your yield goal. In Publication 296 the recommendation for an 82 bu./ acre crop at current nitrogen prices is 100 lbs. N/acre. For a 67 bu./acre crop, 80 lbs, N/acrc is recommended. Remember to de- duct your fall applied nitrogen from this total. Last year several Huron•Perth farmers produced 100 bu./acre crops with the 100 Ib. N/acre rate. This indicates that if the growing season is favourable, your yields arc not tightly con- strainedbyNrates. Weare warned that high N rates may contribute more to protein content than to yield. If soft white winter wheat protein levels exceed 10.5 percent, then it is higher than the milling industry prefers. Exceeding N rates in Publication 296 could lead to this problem. The most visible wheat response to N occurs when applications arc overlaps or misses. Respective responses will be lodging and low yields. Technology such as airflow FREE ESTIMATES Energy efficient, regular type exhaust fans, thermostats, and more in stock. applications tor dry fertilizer and custom liquid applicators should reduce the variation on spread pattern, traditionally experienced with spinnersprcaders. This effect on spread pattern, and the conven- ience of quick, custom application, should be weighted heavier than N source.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1986. S*1 ,IS ATO. rv‘Coe Sea.,� �bpb s ��.1 Nell McGavin [loft] and son Brian represent two of the three generations that have seen tremendous growth In the farm implement business since Gordon McGavinstarted selling equipment from his Walton area farm In the mid 1930's. Last year the company's sales topped S4 million. 50 years at McGavin's sees many changes in business There are few better indications of the massive changes in agricul- ture in Huron county over the past half -century than McGavin Farm Equipment Ltd. which this year celebrates 50 years of serving county farmers. It was in the mid - 1930's that J. J. McGavin, well-known farmer and drover helped his son Gordon McGavin set up a machinery sales from the family farm in McKillop Township, south of Walton. Young Gordon was making a name for himself in those days with his Fordson tractor and Oliver plow winning plowing matches, includ- ing the Canadian championship in 1936. The young plowman began selling the Oliver plows that he was helping to popularize. The other main items in those pre-war years for farm implement sales were tractors, cultivators and manure spreaders. Today the list of equipment sold by MeGavin's goes as long as your arm: tractors, plows, gravity box- es, snowblowcrs, round balers, haybincs, forage boxes, corn heads, sprayers and much more. Sales records show the iricreas- cd eost of niachlncry In the farming business too. In 1937 a new tractor and plow from McGavin's cost 5850. Today the average tractor sold by the compa ny costs about 520,000 and the company special- izes in smaller and medium sired tractors. Annual sales records from 1953 show gross sales of 5104,807. By 1985 the total batt climbed past the 54 million mark. Of course the cost of doing business for the company itself has alsoincrcased, Neil McGavin, who took over the business from his father in 1963, points out. In 1942 the entire cost of wages for the year totalled 52,308. In 1985 the payroll for the company was just a hair under 5240,000. Of course the staff has also increased in numbers since then. Today there arc 15 employees. Back in 1947 while his father was still operating the business from the farm, there was a lot of equipment sold but there was only one hired hand ... and he also helped with the milking. Neil sees 1973 as the turning point as far as much of the inflation in costs is concerned. In 1973 a mechanic made 53 per hour and, to cover the costs of tools, etc., McGavin's charged his time out at S6 per hour. Today mechanic's labour charges run at 522.90 per hour but the company has to pick up costs for so many extras like uniforms, Workmen's Compensa- tion and so many other small costs that add up. A recent memo from the dealers association, Nell says, told dealer they had to get the message out to their customers because barbers today earn more than mechanics. But if the cost of labour has increased, how about the cost of things like telephone services, Until about 1952 the cost of telephone was paid yearly on the taxes and amounted to about 530 per year. Today the company runs a telephone bill of about 51,100 per month, The searching through old files In preparation for the 50th anniver- sary celebrations has brought to lightothergcros. Gordon McGavin was one of the early supporters of CKNX radio and was a friend of station founder Doc Cruikshank. Nell recently called up the station and said he thought he'd been overcharged because he had been charged 540 for a commercial but he had an earlier bill in his hand that said radio ads cost only SI. When the person at the station asked what the date on the bill was he said 1952. attestation was very interested to hear of the hill because all CKNX's old records were destroyed in the fire in the 1960's.) In the early years Gordon McGavin was a Cockshutt dealer but the marriage ended in divorce in 1958. McGavin's started selling the new, imported Nuffield tract- ors and Cockshutt issued an ultimatum: sell only their tractors or lose the dealership. Later, after Gordon McGavin dropped the dealership, the company official who made the ultimatum was fired and the company came back to Gordon asking hint to reconsider but by that time he had discovered how much easier it was to deal with smaller companies than the big ones and wanted no part of it. Thc policy continues to this day with McGavin's dealing with a wide range of companies for the many different kinds of machinery they sell. Neil recalls recently discussing taking on a dealership for a major implement company and being told that one of the prerequisites was that he put up a new 53,000 sign advertising their name. When he refused, they refused. Today the company is located in the old Walton school house which has been enlarged over the years but still is not the kind of expensive, modern showplace some of the larger companies Continued on page 15 All types of fertilizing, seeding and spraying on any kind of crop No. crop damage • no ground compaction • crop ripens evenly "WHEAT & GRAIN SPRAYING OUR SPECIALTY" Contact us today as we have now acquired a larger aircraft to Insure a more prompt and efficient service.

The McGnvins moved their operation to Walton from the form location in 1952 and located on the corner of County roads 25 and 12, the main corner of the village. In 1963 the move was made to the present location in a scheme that was a story in itself. People in the Walton area had decided they wanted to build a new school. The provincial government had slapped a freeze on new school construction but said any school that had already started construc- tion or purchased land for a new school could proceed. Gordon McGnvin purchased the land on which the present Walton school OFA rejects commodity price -based mortgage plan The Ontario Federation of Agri- culture's board of directors, in its monthly meeting, unanimously rejected a fcdcral plan for commo- dity price -based mortgages. "Michael Wilson's budget speech announcement led farmers and consumers to believe that farmers now have access to 6 perccnt money. This was out and out misrepresentation on the part of the fcdcral govcrnmcnt. The fine print tells the real story," said Harry Pelisscro, OFA president. The House was not told • as budget papers released later re- vealed- that farmers would have to actually take on n mortgage at 14 3/8 percent (two percent higher than the current rate for FCC loans). "Rather than giving inter- est rate assistance to farmers, this program actually charges a two percent penalty to enroll in it," commented Pclissero. • While the mortgage is register- ed at 14 3/8 percent a "sidc agreement" will allow FCC to fix the interest rate at 6-9 percent, trying the principle to do comm.

Gordon McGavin probably got a lot of satisfaction in outmanoeuvr- ing the Progressive Conservative government for one of the few victories the long-time Liberal was able to claim for many years when Tory domination was supreme both federally and provincially in Huron county. After many years of working hard behind the scenes, Gordon ran for election in 1963 and turned the running of the company over to Neil who had returned to work for his fathcraftcr graduating from University of Guelph in 1957. One of the first headaches the new young manager had to deal with was the numbcr of farmers who arrived and announced they had worked on his father's election campaign and expected an espe- cially good deal because of it. More than a few turned out not to even live In the riding. Today another generation of McGavins is on the way up in the organization. Last year Neil's son Brian graduated from Guelph and joined the company. Not that business is new to Brian. He already operated a successful commercial baling business and didS21,000worthofbusiness in his first year. Nowa second son, Jeff is also in the baling business. The family lives on the farm where the company originally started out in the 1930's. The McGavins plan a big celebration of their 50th annivers- ary on July 25th when thcy will have a big open house at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Com- munity om- munity Centre showing off a big selection of the goods they have for sale.

Consulting grows as farmers try to maximize profits Tom Perry has fumed hleidea fora crop consulting company Into a company showing explosive growth as farmers, looking for ways to Increase efficiency, toms to his soil testing and (ho Information stored on the Auburn company's computers to try to glvo them a profit edge. Crop consultant services are to crop production what accountants are to financial records says Tom Perry, owner of Soilab the Auburn crop consulting business that has experienced explosive growth since he started it three years ago, Up until five years ago, crop consulting services were almost unheard of in Ontario, although there was n U.S. based .firm operating in the southern part of the county. The services were much more popular south of the border where estimates are that in the last 10 years 85 to 90 per cent of cropland is under consultation. The objective of the new firm that was in the back of hismind for several years was to offer the farmer a range of services, many of which, while they might be able to carry out themselves, ninny farm- ers just didn't have the time. Soil testing, for instance, was available through the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food but many farmers weren't using it and others weren't taking the right sampling of their fields making the reports of the soil tests less useful than they could be. Many errors In analysis can be because of poor sampling of the field, he says. When fccldmcn from n consult. Ing firm like Soilab go out to a farmer's field they have system of taking soilsamples that gives (hent a professional basis, Mr. Perry says, When the samples come back to the company's lab there's another benefit for the farmer -customer. Soil samples sent away for analysis can take up to five orsix weeks to be returned, he says. Tests taken by the Soilab technicians on a Friday will be analysed and the printed analysis is tothe farmer by the next Friday. But soil sampling and testing is only the first step of the services n crop consulting firm offers. Based on the soil tests and the cropping history of the field, the firm prepares recommendations for the farmers. Recommendations aren't standard, Mr. Peel says. A fertili- zer company or chemical company may provide recommendations but they are in the business of selling fertilizer and chemicals and the farmer may wonder about whose interests are served. "Our only motive is to help the farmer make management decisions," he says. The objective of the company is to get the best possible return for the farmer off each acre of land, he saysand that may not always mean getting the largest possible yield. The best move for the farmer instead may be in keeping his input costs down. Computers provide much of the secret of the company's ability to give farmers advice on how to get the most off their land. Soilab has collected 150,000 acres worth of dutn over the last three years, he says and by the end of this ycnr it will be over 200,000 acres on record. The more years and the more acres are kept track of in the computer, the better recommend- ations can be given to the farmer. "It's been time consuming and expensive togutherbutnow it's very valuable," he says. One of the benefits of the huge amount of land history stored in the company's computer isthat the recommendations they make are localized to our own part of the province, not more generalized as OMAF recommendations would be. In addition the farmer can compare ycar.to-year records of the tests on his own land and see the health of his soil. PRO FARM PAC "The Ultimate in Farm lnsuruncc,.

They are also able to recommend what crop rotation or reduced tillage will do for the crops. For instance, the computer statistics show that farmers can get a four to five bushel yield advantage in the second year by double -cropping soybeans but the opposite is true for corn where the first year corn is planted on land will have a nine -bushel advantage over any other subsequent year corn is planted in succession. The low prices for farm commod• ities have caused more and more farmers to turn to consulting firms such as Soilab. Tom Perry started his firm three seasons ago with 30 or 40 customers, with 14,000 acres under management. Today there arc 230 customers and more than 50,000 acres so far this season under management. The familiar blue trucks of the company's fccldmcn range over 35 different townships as far south as Oxford county but 80 per cent of their business is in Huron county and southern Bruce.

Computers amass local cropping information Continued from page 16 soil analysis in the Auburn lab. This information and a cropping history of the field will be fed into the computers and a written recommendation of what hybrids to use, seeding rates, fertlizer and chemical uses and any other matters such as reduced tillage relative to the farmer's production on that land will be given to the customer. Copies of the computer summar- ies are provided to the farmer because he may draw different conclusions from the same data than the Soilab consultants, As the season progresses the fieldmen are out "scouting the field", evaluating the crop, look- ing for weed or pest problems and spotting possible nutrient defi- ciencies. "Because we're making recom- mendations in specific inputs often we budget the crop out," Mr. Perry says. • The company may also provide a summary at the end of the season showing the actual budget for the field versus the projection made before the crop was planted. At the completion of the growing season the history of each of the farmer's fields is brought up to date in the memory bank of the Apple stabilization plan announced computer and a copy ot•the results is given to the farmer. By that time its the time for another cycle of soil testing to begin again. Although not everyone gets their soil tested everyycar, Mr. Perry says, he likes to sec the farmer get tests at least for the first two or three years and then at least every other year thereafter. Over the wi nter the lab is kept busy processing the soil samples until,February with the results being fed into the computer and new recommendations prepared. By March the fieldmen are likely to be out taking new samples again and by April the first field scouting of winter wheat will be going on and from then on the scouting goes on throughout the growing season. Some farmers, hard-pressed to make a profit on their crops these days may question the need for the additional cost of crop consultants. "We have to justifyourfee to every farmer," Mr. Perry says. "We have to save him money or make him money, But at the same time we're providing a service and information that must be paid for. Ontario apple growers enrolled in the 1984 Income Stabillization Program are eligible to receive S896,898 in payments, Agriculture - and Food Minister Jack Riddell announced here today. The Ontario Farm Income Stabi- lization Commission has been given approval by the Ontario Cabinet to allow the 250 farmers in the program to receive a payment of .4445 cent per pound of apple. "These growers of fresh and juice apples," said Riddell, "ire given income protection from this program between 90 and 95 per cent of the previous five-year average price plus any cash cost changes during periods of low prices." The Ontario government will cover two -third of the cost or .296 cent per pound while the other third will come from the funds paid by each producer enrolled in the program. About 201.8 million pounds of apples were registered under the stabilization program, which first came into effect for the 1983 apple crop. Growers will be required to provide documentation showing the quantity of apples sold in the 1984 crop year as part of the information that must be complet- ed on a form sent to members of the program before they receive pay- ment. 130 We must be successful because we have about a 95 per cent return rate (of former customers)." Farmers pay a per -acre fee to the company but unlike some other companies which require the farmer to sign contracts for two or three years, Soilab works one year at a time, confident they can show each farmer each year that they arc important enough to his operation that they should be kept on for another season. So far this faith in their own ability has worked very well but it can be scary to reach July when a new season begins (the company by its nature is about six months ahead of cropping sche- dules) and realize that there's nothing binding those old custom- ers to conic back. Still it is the hard times that have helped the company grow in many ways as farmers are much more conscious about input costs. And the company can help in some ways. For instance, while data can be found to support the importance of adding nitrogen to cereals and potash tolegumecrops, it Is hard to find any data to show that additional phosphorous increases yields, he says, and phosphorus is currently the most expensive ingredient in fertilizer. in addition more and more farmers are looking harder at rotation and in many ways, he says, farmers are going back to many of the practices their parents follow- ed but which have been abandoned over the years. The Auburn company has grown rapidly and its modern decor and humming computers contrast with the rustic old store it calls home on the main street of the village, but in many ways it is still just a smalltown company that fits right in with the small-town way of doing business. Some area farmers, for instance, who don't take advant- age of the full services of the company, take their own soil samples and bring them in for testing. Some Auburn gardeners even bring in soil samples from their gardens for testing. There are no records to show if crop yields have increased greatly in tomatoes and broccoli.

THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1986. Bruce farmers develop system for liquid manure without the smell Two Bruce County farmers have overcome the problem of smelly, low value liquid manure' with a fairly simple, small device and a lot of knowledge. They have teamed up with natural bacteria to trans- form the liquid from an abnoxious waste into a valuable soil and plant food which has only a faint, earthy smell. Liquid manure really became popular with Canadian farmers about 20 years ago. It promised a way to handle large amounts of manurequicklyandcfficicntly, but the problems soon became ob• vious. In ,the murky depths of the storage pit anaerobic bacteria break down the ingredients of the manure and give off foul and often poisonous gases. Some farmers have put these gases towork, but in most cases they have been some- thing toavoid or to exhaust into the open air. Sludge buildup in tanks also leads to difficulties in pump- ing out the material. Aeration offered an anwer and many machines appeared on the market, all scenting to aim at pumping as much airinto the liquid as possible. The effect was todrive off the bad gases as they formed, but the fertilizer value of the remaining liquid was also reduced. Successfully using aerobic bac- teria to break down the smelly, inorganic nitrogenandcaptureit in an organic form is a very skilled operation. It requires balancing carbon, nitrogen and air ratios and studying all aspects of the manure and treating it accordingly. Lawrence and Philip Andres, of Tiverton Ont., have made a careful study of manure handling tech- niques, both in Canada and in their native Switzerland. Several years ago they started working with a system which they thought would hclpimprovethevalucofthe liquid manure from the 100 plus Hol- steins on their 300 acre organic farm. Now they have joined forces with their neighbour, John Mac- Kinnon, to market this system. These three farmers are very particular about the way all manure is handled on their Tiver- ton farms. They have to be as it's the only fertilizer they usc on any of their crops. Solid manure is all composted to improve its value to the soil and to stabilize the nutrients. "Ifyou want toget the most from liquid manure, you can't just blast air through it or keep stirring it in the hope that all the nutrients will be saved," explains Lawrence. "You have to treat the bacteria with respect, because they can turn that pool into one of the best sources of fertilizer on this earth if you give them the right conditions. When they are working well, there is virtually no smell tither during the fermentation process or when the liquid is spread on the fields." LIQUID MANURE CAN DE POISONOUS Many farmers and researchers believe the quicker you get liquid manure from storage pit into the ground the more nutrients are saved and the better the plant response. "Not so," says Lawrence Andres. "In fact that smelly liquid you're spreading on the fields, or worse still knifing into the ground, may solve smell problems at the expense of soil lift. Ammonia kills worntsquicklyand it, togcthcrwith other gases, is very common In poorly fermented liquid manure. You can often see the worms coming to the surface as soon as this type of manure is spread or worked into the soil. They come to the surface because of the liquid flooding the soil and then the gases in the surface layers kill them. You can imagine its effect on the other soil life." HOW THE EDAPHON WORKS Basically, the Edaphon Process- ing System uses a micro -aeration technique to incorporate minute bubbles of air evenly throughout the entire container of liquid manure during calculated time periods. The bubbles arc so small that few, if any, are seen to reach the surface. A light foam may be noticed. This is because the air is either absorbed into the liquid, used immediately by bacteria or clings to particles in the liquid. The unit itself consists of n diffusion pumpon the end of a long drive shaft and air intake tube. The pump assembly is lowered close to the bottom of the tank. The shaft is driven by a 5 H.P. electric motor. One ntddcl allows the farmer to usc it as a transfer pump for emptying FARM BY AIR Book now for early application of fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides SERVING WINGHAM, KINCARDINE, BRUSSELS & LISTOWEL Remember - first callers are served first Stardust Aviation Inc. Call Bob Jamieson • Owner & Operator 357-2599 Bluevale the tank and for Filling spreaders. The liquid can be seen to circulate slowly. The idea is not to stir and agitate the manure to mix all the solids into a suspension, but rather to carry minute particles of air to all parts of the liquid so that bacteria can break down the solids and become part of the liquid. The time intervals during which the Edaphon runs are set according toe number of factors including consistency of the manure, the type of feed being used and the presence of feed additives. Law- rence is most concerned that farmers don't just buy a machine, plug it in and forget about it. "We want to work with the farmers who install a machine to make sure it is run the way it should be," he explains. "We have done this with all the machines we have installed during our trial period. Each farm isuniqucandwewant to make sure our system works well in each situation." NUTRIENTS SAVED The aerobic bacteria which convert the inorganic, smelly nitrogen in the ammonia form into organic nitrogen (protein com- pounds) thrive on carbon, nitrogen and air. The proportions of each of these essentials are very impor- tant. Cattle on high grain rations and pig manure is often lacking in carbon and this may have to be added. When the bacteria are growing with the right proportions of the three ingredients they will convert nutrients (especially nitro- gen) into stable forms which will not escape into the air and are less likely to be lost through leaching.

Many farmers have been putting a hard pencil to this, and not finding any easy answers. There is a great deal of skepticism about growing cash crops this spring, poor outlook for fall market prices ... and so on. On the positive side, most prices of farm inputs have not risen at the rate of inflation in the general economy in recent years. This suggests that the rise in farm input costs has becn moderated by the depressed production sector. On the other hand, per acre land principal and interest payments, or rental payments have been greater than many farmers can meet from earnings. Our decision on what crops to grow will depend on a number of important considerations. One of these will be our cost of production. The decision as to what to grow should be based on those crops which return the greatest number of dollars over their variable costs. Variable costs are those costs which change with the crop we grow. Variable costs include our material inputs (seed, fertilizer, pesticides etc.), crop insurance, drying costs, storage and market- ing costs, interest costs, hired labour, and fuel and repair mach- inery costs or custom charges. The othercosts we have are fixed costs. Fixed costs are those costs which occur whether we grow a crop or not. Depreciation, insur- ance, taxes; land costs would be examples of fixed costs. A crop will be grown as long as we are able tocoverour variable costs. Returns above this will help cover our living costs and fixed costs. VARIABLE COSTS FOR CORN ' ORBEANS This past winter, I collected information from a group of cash crop farmers in western and south- western Ontario on their variable costs for corn and soybeans. Table 1 shows their average cash inputcostsand equipment fuel and repair cost for preharvest opera- tions and harvest operations for continuous corn and soybeans. Agricrew offers rural experience Agricrcw is a great summer work experience. The program is for young people between 15 and 24 years of age, who have unlimited energy, and arc willing to work and learn. It gives students a challenging job with plenty of variety and the chance to work with other people. Some farm work experience is required. Agricrew is a great opportunity to learn new agricultural skills. There are foreman and crew member positions available. Ap- plications may be obtained from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Office in Clinton. ••••••••••••••• Input Costs Preharvest Fuel and Repair Harvest Fuel and Repair TOTALCOSTS/ACRE Continuous Corn 128.81 17.47 9.04 155.32 Let's look at our break-even cost on corn. The input costs varied from a low of S95/acre to a high of 5160/acre. Part of the variation in this figure will be due to what each farmer included in Input costs. Seed, fertilizer, pesticide costs would be included, Some would also include interest for six months on these operating costs, and crop insurance. The corn preharvest machinery costs varied from 57to$28per acre. The lowest preharvest cost was for a farmer growing corn on ridges. Some may have had a higher machinery cost due to older equipment and therefore higher repair costs. Also these costs do not include ownership costs of insur- ance, interest, depreciation, only fuel, grease and repairs. Their land type would also affect the number Soybeans 73.00 15.76 7.78 96.54 of tillage passes and fuel costs to prepare their fields. The average yield that they thought could achieve based on planting and harvesting 'at the most optimum time was 125 bu/acre. If we check the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food's Crop BudgetingAidwesee asimilarcost of $157 per acre for variable costs 597 for inputs, 539 for machinery, fuel and repair (not custom), 514 interest on operating costs and 57 crop insurance. Drying costs and marketing costs have not been included in the 5157 per acre OMAFcrop budgeting figure or 5155.32 cost for the farmer group. Adding In these costs for the farmer group: Input costs and direct machinery costs 5155.00 THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1986. PAGE 19. Drying at 512.70/t at 29.5% mois- ture 36.12' Marketing 1.00 TOTAL VARIABLE/ACRE 5192.12 At 125 bu/acre for the group of farmers, the variable costs per bushel are 51.54. Yields will have quite an impact on our variable cost per bushel. Normally we can't plant or havest all of our corn at the ideal time of year. So if we thought that our overall yield would average 112 bushels (10 percent less than 125) our cost per bushel would rise to 51,72. It's important that we be as realistic as possible in what yicldwcuse in ourcalcula- tion. If corn this fall traded at52.44 per bush our returns over variable costs would be: Per acre Income: 112 bu. at 2.44 5273.28 Expenses = 192.12 Returns S 81.16 The 581.16 per acre return Is what we have left to cover land cost, fixed costs, and living expenses. This figureshould be compared to the• return over variable costs for other crops. Once this is done, the crops with the greatest returnover variable costs, should be considered seriously as the ones to grow. Each farmer must determine their own production costs in deciding what crop to grow, how much to payfor land rent, and what market price is needed to cover these costs. It's a good exercise, and one I'd be glad to help you with, if you haven't done it before.

Ontario Foods dazzle discriminating U.S. consumers With a whole world of cuisine at their doorstep, New Yorkers thought they had It all until their tastcbuds were tantalized by fine Ontario foods during n recent Macy's promotion, Showing great enthusiasm, large crowds of Americans turned out to try and buy Ontario gourmet foodsduring a 12 -day promotion at nine stores of R. H. Macy and Company across the U.S., includ- ing New York. "The promotion was a tremen- dous success. It put Ontario gourmet food on the map in some of the toughest markets In the world," saysAgriuclturc and Food minister Jack Riddell. "Il cxcccd. cd all of the expectations of Macy's executives as far as customer volume and sales." About Si million in salts is expected over the next year for Canadian companies because of the increased visibility and dc• mond created by the promotion. Companies will work with the ministry to take advantage of new opportunities created by the pro- motion. Other American retailers and wholesalers are jumping on the bandwagon and ordering products from various Ontario companies. The 12 Ontario firms that took part in the promotion at stores In New York City, Long Island, White Plains, Stamford, Albany, Dallas and two locations in Houston, Texas had sales of about $150,000. Other Ontario products also sold well during the promotion. Many of the Ontario companies niay be able to establish a long-term relationship with Macy's and other American retailers. American consumers were de- lighted by such exceptional On- tario products as preserves and chutneys, wines and coolers, gourmet dressings and sauces, buttery shortbreads, mustards, relishes, pates and fine processed meats, gingerbread houses as well as pure goat milk cheeses.

Federation has high expectations With three members of the ruling parties representing Huron county and two of them cabinet ministers, farmers have high expectations of government action to improve their lot, Doug Garniss, president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture told the assembled politicians at the Feder- ation's annual member of Parlia- ment dinner Saturday in Clinton. Provincial Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell, provincial Health Minister Murray Elston and Murr- ay Cardiff, M.P. along with Huron County Warden and representa- tives from several townships were in attendance to hear briefs from various commodity groups presen- ted. "Our industry is in very difficult times, in a situation 1 would term a crisis," Mr. Garniss said. "We have to have action to preserve our land, our industry and the family farm." We believe in the family farm but segments of our society do not, including, from some studies we've seen, segments of our governments." "The time for our MPs and MPPs to tell us that we do not speak with one voice and to use that as an excuse for Inaction Is past. You are elected as representatives to make 1985 was 'year of accomplishment' for Ontario Egg Board Egg producers attending the 21st Annual Meeting of the Ontario Egg Producers' Marketing Board last month were told 1985 was a sound and stable year as far as financial, production, and market- ing situations were concerned. Nevertheless, said Board Chair- manJimJohnstone, 1985waayear of significant achievement for the Ontario Egg Board. "The past yearhasbeen most satisfying for me as your chair- man," he said. "There were no major controversies. No new policy initiatives, only minor amend- ments to several existing policies ...The move to our new office went off without a hitch; the contract for the 'Ontario Egg Producers' Chair' A r at the University of Guelph was signed. A I l in all, a year of many accomplishments." The Chair established at the University of Guelph will investi- gate new uses for eggs with the aim of improving markets and so enabling producers to increase their production. The research Chair is the first at the University, and represents the only such work of its scope being conducted anywhere in the world. The past year also saw the Board move into its first Board -owned office building, in Mississauga. It had been renting office space in Willowdalc, nalth of Toronto. Ontario Egg Board General Continued on page 28 choices, however difficult." He pointed to the danger of the U.S. farm bill which will channel 55 billion per year in subsidies to the American farmer. He pointed out the hardship for farmers who are not allowed to use Alachlor herbicide, an Important crop man- agement tool, while crops using the same chemicals are still allowed to enter Canada. Farm Credit Corporation statis- tics point out there are 35,000 farmers in serious financial trou- ble, he said. Other FCC statistics show the average family farm wind -down means a loss tothe FCC of 5100,000. In the current econo- my those 35,000 farmers are either going to go out of business or have their debts written down, he said which means someone will lose S3.5 billion. He said there was also a challenge tothe producers ofall commodities. "We can no longer afford the luxury of charging in all directions, or conversely, circling and shooting inward", Mr. Gar- niss said. "We cannot blindly favour free trade and ignore U.S. tax laws, which mean a large percentage of U.S. cattle are not farmer owned, or the U.S. farm bill, which they do not consider subsidization. We cannot blindly oppose free trade and ignore the huge amounts of agricultural production we must sell to the rest of the world." "Free enterprisers cannot ig- nore the fact that, in a world food glut, our exports become 'free': we cannot get our cost oiproduction from them.

Huron hog producers want 'Right to Farm' legislation Wayne Fear of the Huron County Pork Producers presented a brief to the Member of Parliament dinner held by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture Saturday in Clinton. Stronger"Right to Farm" legis- lation not tougher controls on foodland guidelines are what Huron Count pork producers want, President Wayne Fear told the annual Huron County Federation of Agriculture Member of Portia- ent dinner in Clinton on Saturday, He said current foodland guide- lines work as much against the farmer as for him. "A new farmer may be only able to build to a certain size. A dwelling may have been built at the prescribed distance while the farm build-up went on and when a certain number of animal units has been reached, the farmer is prevented from building up toa practical opera- tion," What is needed instead, he said, is togive the farmer priority in land designated for agriculture and let anyone build as close to a smelly or noisy farm as they wish but they would have no right to complain. But Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell disagreed. "We wouldn't have to have an agricultural code of practice if we had been smart enough to not allow severances in farmland in the first place," he said in reply. Mr. Fear and Mr. Riddell also crossed swords over the tri -partite stabilization program. While Mr. Fear congratulated the govern- ment on its strong support of the program, he said he had com- plaints from weaner pig producers who felt thcreshouldbeabetter way of administering the program. Mr. Riddell said these were the first complaints from weaner producers he had heard and that those he had spoken to had been "tickled pink" with the split that saw65 per cent of the subsidy go to the finished hog and 35 per cent to the producer of the weaner pig. Free trade was also a bone of contention between the two men. "We have no fear of freer trade with the United States or with anyone, but it must also be fair with equal support by both govern- ments," Mr. Fear said. At one point, he said, 17 per cent of pork consumption in Canada came from the U.S. but now that the flow is going the other way, the Ameri- cans arc complaining. "It is for this reason that it is imperative for Canadian agricul- ture to be part of the trade Citizen classified - Only $250 negotiations soon to begin," Mr. Fear said. "The U.S. Congress must be made aware that the subsidies available under the new Farm Bill are much more far-reaching than anything available in Canada. This can only be done if we participate in the talks. The park industry in particular must be alert not to be traded for protection of supply managed commodities." While Murray Cardiff said he doesn't feel there is such a thing as "free trade" he said Canadians have to talk to the Americans because "they have made state- ments I don't agree with" regard- ing supposed subsidies of things such as potatoes. While Canada may be sending potatoes into Maine on the east coast, he said, Oregon is sending potatoes into British Columbia on the west. Mr. Riddell was not so accepting of the concept of free trade. "Pork producers talk about free trade but it's a pretty funny free trade when the Americans can countervail saying things like the land tax rebate and Rccord of Performance testing are unfair subsidies to Canadians," he said, "I have real concerns about free trade and what it will do," he said. Beef men are strong supporters of free trade he said but have they looked at the processing end of the business, he wondered. Research shows the Americans are far ahead of Canadians in the technology of food processing and they also have a labour cost advantage, If there is free trade American processors could put Canadian processors out of business and once that happen- ed, "why would Americans want to buy Canadian hogs and cattle if they're processing down there." The U.S. can easily grow enough hogs and cattle to fill the entire Canadian consumer need, he said.

(The federal government has discussed refus- ing tolot generic drug manufactur- ers let the patents of brand name drug manufacturers for a licencing fee.) This move would cost his ministry 535 to 40 million a year, Mr. Elston said and various ministries in competition for limit- ed funds, it might =unless money for agriculture. "My concern is that if there is a desire in the U.S. not to get into negotiations and we go ahead with appeasing American concerns, it could have a terrible cost for Canada." Adrian Vos, former director of the Pork Producers Marketing Board said that his information was that the packing companies were not afraid of U.S. competition and said that farnters must be at the bargaining table. Mr. Riddell agreed that Canadians must bar- gain but said his ministry has been told tolookatthe effect offree trade in every aspect of agriculture. Mr. Fear asked Mr. Cardiff why the federal government didn't put a countervailing tariff on U.S. grain coating Into Canada because of the heavy subsidization it receives under the new farm bill.

O/d apple varieties mean a new business Shelley Pauloclk shows one of the first of her apple trees to reach a ,saloable size. After long research and several years of work she has brought old varieties of trees back into the gardens of area landowners. Like the Zinc from tr c song that says "everything old is new again", a Biuevaie•area nursery owner is hoping that old apple varieties will be a new taste discovery for home orchard own- ers. After years of research, hard work, planning and disappoint- ments, Shelly Paulocik this year will be putting the first "fruits" of her labour on the market: 15 varieties of apple trees originally wide -spread in this area but long since gone from most orchards. There was a time when nearly every farm in Huron county had an apple orchard. In the days when self-sufficiency was a more impor- tant concept in farming than specialization, farmers depended on the few dollars to be made from apple sales each fall in the same way they looked at the sale of butter and beef as significant factors in fancily income. But over the years specialization and centralization gradually took over and a few orchards got larger while most wcrc let go wild and finally bulldozed out to make room for more profitable crops. With them went many of the apple varieties that still bring smiles to the faces of oldtimers: names like Gravenstein, Tomp- kins King, Westfield and Yellow Transparent. Reviving some of these rare breeds has been taken on, not by someone who harks back to a childhood in the old apple orchard but by a "city girl" who grew up in Oshawa but found out the life she longed for was in the country instead. From high school In the motor city she went to Sheridan College where she studied craft and design but eventually decided that field wasn't for her. After spending some time travelling she went back to school at the University of Guelph to study horticulture: Her interest in old varieties of fruit trees neatly combines her interest in museum work and her Interest in horticul- ture. That interest was spurred on when she and husband Gord Chiddicks moved toa Blucvalc- area farm and while plowing at the back of the farm discovered an old orchard with varieties she'd never experienced before. She had also had an introduction to the taste of old varieties at the Apple Museum, an orchard plant- ed at the Vineland research station as a centennial project to keep the old tree varictics olive. At one time there wcrc 125-140 varieties at the museum and tasting them, she had a chance to discover a taste that was missing in modern apples. When people talk about pro- gress they generally think of the vast variety of things we enjoy in modern lift but Shelley wonders if the term is misused when it comes to apples. At one time our arca would have had 100 varieties of apples but today has probably about five, she says. She undertook more investiga- tion of the old apple varieties as part of an independent studies course at Guelph. The variety of apples available to the consumer has declined to the point that 80 per cent of the apples in the world today are varieties of Red Deli- cious. Instead of growing varieties for table eating versus cooking, apples for storage against varieties for immediate use and so on, the Red Delicious became popular because it could be used for either cooking orenting, travelled well and stored well. By contrast, yellow varieties of apples virtually disappeared from large scale commercial pro- P.O,Box 40, Blyth, Ontario NOM 11-10 TELEPHONE 519/523-4581 "WE HAVE IT ALL FROM BIG TO SMALL" MACK TANDEMS 16 cubic yards GOODING HOPPERS 25 cubic yards FLOATS 50 ton LOADERS 3 cubic yards to 7 cubic yards CUSTOM CRUSHING FREE EST.IMATES DOZERS Large and Small GRADERS GRADALL DRAGLINE LANE GRAVEL ALL WEEPER STONE CEMENT GRAVEL GABION STONE TOP SOIL duction because they showed their bruises badly.

New generations to Y apple o old a le flavours Continued from pogo 24 research to practical use two years ago when she began her first plantation of old apple varieties. Modern horticulture uses the process of "budding" in which a single leaf bud from the variety of tree you want to propogate is attached to a root stock (most of which is grown in Holland). The budding process is gener- ally more efficient than the graft- ing process that was once used but one disadvantage is that it's done in the heat of mid summer where grafting was generally done in• doors in the late winter. In addition, when Sheileyset out to do her first budding, she was several months pregnant, making it even more difficult to work six inches off the ground. Her research turned up the fact that there arc people who's full-time job is budding and they travel the world from one fruit• growing area to another with the change of seasons to bud the trees. They can bud 2000 trees a day. Shelley, inexperienced and with- out a lot of mobility, managed about 75 trees a day. About 200 of the trees she budded two years ago "took" and of those, 150 are ready for sale this spring. As a concession to the needs of modern garden owners, some of the trees have been grafted into dwarf rootstock for people who want to put more trees into a smaller area. Some of the trees are of two different semi -vigorous rootstocks, meaning they will be closer to the original size of the old varieties. Last year, the second year of her experiment brought a major disappointment, however. She was prepared to bud 500 trees and arrangements had been made to go to the Vineland museum to get the bud wood. But the pressure of land -use demands in the Niagara Penninsula had caused the author- ities of the museum to decide to pull out the orchard and, through a mix-up in communications, they pulled out all the trees the day before Shelley had made arrange- ments to pick up her buds. The museum officials, when the mistake was discovered tried to help out by giving her sonic cuttings but after budding some 500 trees, she has found that only about 50 have taken because the cuttings weren'ttaken from the right age of tree or the right part of the tree. Days of work, and nearly a whole year of development of her business were lost. Eventually, ifall goes well, such problems will be eliminated be- cause she hopes to plant an orchard with at least two trees of every variety she has so she will have access to her own budding stock. The experiment is one of several income sources the couple are developing. They also plan to have one acre of pick -your -own straw- berries and raspberries. Finding the right market for the trees however is a challenge, part'. cularly to get started. Volume of the trees available is not large enough to warrant large scale advertising in the swanky maga- zines for people who keep country estates. For thc present, at least, she'll depend on the local market and count on the memories people have for apples that had a personality of their own. Eventually she thinks she may advertise a "connoisseur collec- tion" of 10 or 12 of the best tasting apples (she has a friend, Fred SS SAVE NOW $$ PHONETODAY BEFOREYOU BUY NEW M -C GRAM DRYERS & PARTS Meyer Morton Parts & Used Grain Dryers Dynavent Fans, Aeration Floors, Hutchinson unloading equipment, Grain Cleaners, Bucket Elevators, Storage & Holding Bins.

Another possiblity is selling a "cider collection" u selection of apple trees whose apples, when combined in juice, offer the most tasty combination. As for the hope that some of the apple varieties will live again as commercial varieties even in farm- ers markets she doesn't hold out much hope. Mr. Jansen has tried to sell apples from his own small collection ofold•varicty apple trees in markets in the Toronto arca with little success. The modern palate of. the general public has been conditioned to go for the more traditional tastes of either the Macintosh or Red Delicious and most people don't seem too willing to be advcrturous. But for the home gardner, the chance to keep alive the delicious flavour of the past is there and Shelley Paulocik is hoping there will be enough discriminating apple lovers to help keep these varieties alive for many years to come.

Hubbard plant In Blyth is prepared for shipment to some far off destination. Recent shipments have gone to Denmark and the southern U.S. as the Blyth firm continues to find foreign markets for Its produce. BYMELDAMcELROY Yesterday marked the 23rd anniversary of the Hubbard Ruta- baga Operation in Blyth, On April 15, 1963, Gcorgc Hubbard arrived to begin business on a small scale. In today's terms, he is known as an entrepencur. "1 started with nothing", George said. "I bought in 1963, frorn Russ Dougherty, a house, waxing plant, storage buildings and farm. In 1966,1 added to the existing storage building at the cast end of Dinsley St. a rutabaga plant with washing and waxing facilities. It affords ample room for loading and unloading." Last week was a busy one at Hubbards. On Friday, workers were processing rutabagas for shipment to Wisconsin, and other U.S. destinations. Markets in the spring open up in Europe. Earlier in the week, 850 bushels were shipped to Norway. Exports to Miami and Texas can always be depended upon, where it is said they eat small rutabagas as we cat apples.

BLYTH 523.9305 A few bushels of rutabagas still remain In storage, but they will move soon, at which time the floors in the storage department will be scraped, scrubbed and sprayed for the prevention of disease. New crops each year must be stored in a spanking clean space. Under normal weather condi- tions, staggered seeding begins in f early April and terminates around June 10. George says, "Rutabagas are funny things. An old myth maintains they are a cold weather crop. l admit they grow a bit in cold weather, but really they do not. Theyrequirethe sun and sufficient moisture to grow." Gcorgc Hubbard is fussy about soil preparation and high quality seed. He emphasizes that onecan't lose by being choosy about what goes into the ground.

Towax400bushclsanhourtakes a pile of heat because the roots are 200 degrees cooler than the wax is. At the present time the wax cost is 30 cents for a bushel." When asked about the plant's safety record, George replies that it has been free of serious accidents. One accident, though, he can't forget because it was so messy. A truck with a load of 600 bushels of rutabagas turned over on a side road. Fortunately, the driver was not injured nor the truck damaged, Georgerecalls, "What a job we had, with the help of a tractor and bucket, to scoop up from road and ditches, what looked like millions of rutabagas! Then, followed the culling process at the plant." The most cruel word to the ears of the owner is the use of the word turnip when one means rutabaga. There is a vast difference between a turnip which is snow white and rutabaga that has cream-coloured flesh and a denser texture. It is steadily gaining in popularity as a vegetable, for it is low in calorics and high in nutrition, containing more calcium, potassium, Vitamin A and C than many vegetables. Microwave cooking time is increas- ing the Rutabaga's use. Thanks to George Hubbard, North Huron has one Rutabaga Plant, and Blyth claims it. Here lives an cntrcpeneur who is a firm believer in private enterprise. He took a risk in 1963 and it has paid off to the extent that he can tell you that over the years his small business has been good to him. The permanent staff at Hub - bard's Rutabaga plant arc: Roy Young, who has been with Hub• bard's for 21 years; Bob Bromley, Allan Sicrtsema and George Hub - bard's son, Jim. Additional workers are required for 10 months of the year to process the crop on 250 acres. These include Gcorgc and Marion Hub - bard's two daughters, Cathy and Susan. Marion assists with the office work. Transport drivers are: Jim Hubbard,Jim Hunt and Randy Campbell.

Bruce farmers develop system for manure Continued from page 18 The treated liquid which is spread on the crops contains as much nitrogen as manure fresh from the animal! What's more, most of this nitrogen is organic and therefore has no unpleasant smell, does not burn plants, is more stable in the soil and enhances, rather than destroys, soil life. This type of manure also contributes to humus production, which is one of the key ingredients in healthy soil. PART OFATOTALSYSTEM For the farmers who developed the Edaphon Processing System this is not just a solution to a liquid manure problem. It is one part of a totally organic system which fits into their philosophy. No chemi- cals are purchased for their farms and so manure is essential for thorn to maintain high yielding crops. They view tlic soil as a vital living organism and one which must be nurtured to create the best living environment and for the many forms of soil life which help to feed the crops. Manure must have the maximum value for the crops while minimizing the spread of weeds. All thcirsolid manure is composted and now the Edaphon completes the system by making a liquid compost. They sec this as an opportunity to help farmers become more self sufficient while reducing soil, air and water pollution.

CHARLES CARPENTIER BRUSSELS-ETHELPASTORAL CHARGE THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA When a mother gives birth to a child, she must release that child to be an independent person. From the moment of birth, the child begins to free himself from his dependence on his mother. This is a painful experience for the mother. The birth -pangs are only the beginning of the pain of losing the child who's so much a part of us. The same' sort of process must also go on within each person. Most of us begin adult life with some kind of role or image which is a kind of mother to us. And we see others in a kind of role which becomes familiar and comfortable to us. We don't want either role to change. But it must change if we Auburn WMS meets The April meeting of Presby- terian W.M.S. was held at the home of Mrs. Frances Clark on April 8.

The next meeting will be held at the home of Marion Haggitt on May 13 at 8 p.m. are to be free and if we are to let others go free. But this process is as painful as childbirth. Society is cruel in the way it thrusts images on us. Ministers of the Church arc expected to be morally better than others, to have few, if any, doubts about God. Men are supposed to be strong, not to • cry. Women are to be gentle, ready tosupport men but tobe happy in a secondary role. The result is that few people are real. We go through life playing games, putting on fronts. Jesus came tont us free from that kind of tyranny. The reason people responded so strongly to him was that he saw through their roles and treated then for the persons they were. For some, this was an occasion for rejoicing for others, for anger.

Ata special meeting held April 7 for Morris, councillors, Wayne Caldwell planner for Morris' new. proposed Secondary Plan discuss- ed some changes to the original plan sent out to township homes, Allan Bridge of Wingham visit- ed council to ask if lots seven and eight west of Bridge Motors could be designated Commercial Indus- trial land instead of Restricted Agricultural land as it is shown in the plan now, Mr. Bridge says that a Motel is interested in locating on one of the lots, Mr. Caldwell advised council against this change, saying the lots were severed years ago for a farm machinery dealership and this never established and would be better as a fertilizer plant or Huron science students show their stuff Saturday The Sth Annual Huron County Science Fair will be held at the Central Huron SecondarySchool in Clinton on April 18th and 19th. The Fair will feature over 120 projects completed by Grade seven and eight students from Huron County Board of Education schools. Students will be competing in Computer, Physical and Biological categories for n variety of awards, One new award this year is the "Conservation Award".. The Ausablc•Bayfield and Maitland Valley Conservation Authorities are sponsoring this award to encourage students to explore the complex and exciting fields of conservation. Over the past four years, the Huron County Board of Education has sent students to Toronto, Halifax, Saskatoon and Cornwall to compete against students from across Canada at the annaul Canada Widc Science Fair. Up to four projects may be sent to Calgary this year during May to compete, if deemed worthy by the judges. The public are invited to view the projects and to talk with the students between 2:00 p.nt. and 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 19th. Presentation of awards will take place at 3:00 p.m. something to do with agriculture, Mr, Caldwell said once council designated the land commercial, they would have no control as to what might locate there. He also pointed out that the lots arc class one agricultural land and there are other lots that would be better for the Motel. Mr. Bridge said with Turnberry Tavern and Bridge Motors there, it limits farming anyway. Council agreed that the lots should be designated Commercial -Industrial land but this still has to be passed by the planning committee. Mr. Caldwell plans to present the Secondary Plan to the Huron County Planning Committee on April 17. In other business, Neil Gowing and Henry Devlin from the Brus- sels Recreation Committee attend- ed to ask council if the $6,000 that council budgets for helping figure skating and minor hockey could also be used for compressors or a new roof or emergency repairs. Council thought that an ammend- meat could be made to the present proposal to have one reserve fund for recreation and emergency operating costs. But this would have to be discussed with the other councils before agreements are reached. Robert Dickert of Blucvale will be the new grader operator in Morris for the summer months. Clerk Nancy Michie read council a letter from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce regarding the paying of tax bills at the bank. Right now it costs people of the township 85 cents to pay their tax bill at the bank but thcycanpay it at the township office free. The Bank wanted council's feelings on a new agreement for January 1988 when anew tax bill would be printed that wouldgo through the computers at the bank. Council agreed that this would be too expensive and that they were not interested. Councillor Howie Morton sug- gested that a self addressed,. stamped envelope be enclosed in each tax statement. Council received a letter from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs asking if council had any com• plaintsorproblemswith Municipal Elections, Nancy Michie said she would like to write them about the hiring of assessment people. She said they didn't tell her who was WINNING doing the' assessing or when they - Township. Council passed two weretostart this year. Council also petitions for drain inspections for thought that the person assessing the Bosman Drain, Lot 17, Con. 2 Morris should be from Morris and the Lamont Drain.

The exhibition will include a variety of Mr. Benner's work including "Owls in My Sleep", "Great Awk", and "White Pine". In addition to this exhibition, Mr. Benner will be present on Satur- day, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, during the Blyth Festival's Annual Used Book Sale, to give a special slide show followed by a discussion of his work. Mr. Benner Is a London artist who has won national recognition with a number of his works, including his "Third World Parity Kit", a collection of paintings and sculptures done in the mid -1970's. He has exhibited across the country and his works are included in the Canada Council Art Bank and the Art Gallery of Ontario collection. Most recently, he has been working on pieces depicting differ- ent animals, birds and nature symbols used by older civiliza- tions, mainly those of North America. These pieces portray the harm that modern man is inflicting on species such as the fin whale, polar bear, great awk, sea eagle, and puma. His work conveys a sense of loss for these animals, and man's lack of understanding of his environment in general. The exhibition is sponsored by the Art Gallery of Ontario through the Artist and their Work pro - 1/4 gramme. The Blyth Festival Gallery will be open Monday through.
