Little did we know that morning, The sorrow the day would bring, The call was sudden, the shock severe, To part with one we loved so dear. You didn't have time to say farewell, Or for us to say good-bye, You had gone before we realized, And only God knows why. We think of you in silence, And,often speak your name, But all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame Our hearts still ache with sadness, Our silent tears still flow, For what i1 meant to lose you, No one will ever know. Dearly loved and sadly missed by Majorie, Tom. Brian and Paul, 40-31x1 41. PERSONAL History of the QPM WMS learns of Russian ways Perth County is hosting a plowing match furrowed with over a century of Ontario history and tradition. From the mid -1800s, plowing competitiolns were. part of agricultural fairs. In 1846, the first provincial agricultural exhibition was held in Toronto. Strong classes of teams of ox- en and horses plowed in fields that are now part of Metropolitan Toronto (near Yonge St. and St. Clair Ave.) In 1862, the Six Nations Plowmen's Association was formed. A match was held that year on the Grand River Reserve near Brantford. Over the years, plowmen from the reserve have won many awards. The Ontario Plowmen's Association was formed in 1911. Two years later, in 1913, the first provincial plowing match sponsored by the OPA was held on what is now the site of Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital. One competitor dared to enter a plow drawn by a tractor! Implement manufacturers set up displays and demonstrations at fairs and plowing matches. By 1926, the official name of the match became "The International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Demonstration." The match site has been moved to different counties across Ontario each year. Coun- ties bid for the honor of hosting the world-famous match. Perth County will be hosting the match for just the ,third time in its 75 -year history, the two previous matches being 1930 and 1972. Essex County (Windsor) will host the match in 1989, with Brant County (Paris) and Lambton County (Petrolia) following in 1990 and 1991 respectively. The Ontario Plowmen's Association continues to be the sponsoring body and this 75th anniversary match promises to be the biggest and best yet. See you there. EDITOR'S NOTE:°The IPM's Publicity Committee will be writing a regular report on this year's Plow g Match, highlighting various events and providing some vital background information the general public doesn't generally know. Cromarty Correspondent MRS. ROBERT LAING 345-2t26' The Marian Ritchie 'W.M.S. entertained guests from Exeter, Thames Road, Seaforth, Mitchell and Staffa churches as well as many former members at their July meeting when they celebrated the 85th an- niversary of Cromarty Women's Missionary Society and the 75th of the Marian Ritchie Evening Auxiliary. The guests were welcomed by Jean Carey who gave the call to worship and presided for the meeting using the theme A Celebra- tion of Joy. To God Be the Glory was sung. Alice Gardiner read Psalm 98 for scripture and in her meditation made reference to the founders of both groups in 1903 and 1913 and to the fact that they had joined in November 1986, using the name Marian Ritchie W.M.S. Agnes Lomond gave a prayer of thanksgiv- ing for former workers and of hope for the future. Previous to the offering, Joyce Fell of Staffa entertained with a lovely solo, Sweet Afton, and during the offering played Traumerei on the violin. The offering was received by Doris Miller, Roberta Templeman, Mary Elliott 'and Hazel Har- burn. The offertory prayer was given by Peggy Kerslake. The guest speaker, the Rev. Michael Caveney of King City, was introduced by the Rev. Lucie Milne. Mr. Caveney showed 2. slides of Rusia and spoke briefly of his ex- periences as one of a group of Canadians in- vited to tour the churches of Rusia. He told of the long church services there at which the congregations stood because there were no pews in the Orthodox churches. He also commented on the fact that he saw no elderly or disabled people. Unlike • Barbara Woodruff, who had gone with an Annerican •group, he was allowed to roam : about on his own with a few restrictions. The • necessities of life are very cheap there, but the more luxurious items are very expen- sive. Clothing costs about the same as in • Canada. Roberta Templeman thanked Mr. Caveney on behalf of those present. The meeting closed with the hymn, For the Healing of the Nations, and the benedic- . tion, pronounced by Lucie Milne. A social hour followed. Seaforth facilities partof public institutions inspection Two Seaforth facilities were among a number in Huron County chosen for inspec- tion by a Public Insitutions Inspection Panel, All institutions in Huron County either partly or wholly funded by the provin- cial government are subject to inspection twice a year. Inspections are done over three day periods by a panel of six randomly selected taxpayers. "It operates like a jury," said Deborah Lee Homuth, chairperson of the most recent panel. "You get an official letter from the her- riff's office, and you show up at the tlourt house on the appointed day, or suffe4 the consequences." Members of the panel are given a list of'in- stitutions to be inspected, and must pick which ones they would like to get to within their three day time frame. They travel en masse to each of the facilities they are in- specting. Institutions such as the Bluewater Regional Correction Centre, which house in- mates, must be inspected each time. According to Ms. Homuth it was the inten- tion of the May panel to choose for inspec- tion some institutions which had not been in- spected for a considerable period of time: Locally that included the Seaforth Public School and the Seaforth Carnegie Library. Although the panel expressed some doubt as to the ability of randomly selected tax- payers to inspect such institutions as hospitals, disposal plants and even schools, they admitted they found the process of "inspection" to be enlightening. "The opportunity for taxpayers to observe provincially funded institutions first hand is a worthwhile process," .they said. "It's also a chance for taxpayers to ex- press how they feel about the way the government is spending money," said Ms. Homuth. "It's a totally subjective thing, and cer- tainly the personal profiles of the people do- ing the inspections come into being as well. It depends on what you thought on what you saw." And here's what the panel had to say about the Seaforth institutions. SEAFORTH PUBLIC SCHOOL - "In general the school would benefit from a face-lift as it appears to be in a state of disrepair. The staff was cooperative and en- thusiastic and appear to be performing well in less than optimum conditions." A list of general repairs the panel found to be most outstanding included: kindergarten room needs to be painted; kindergarten room needs new curtains or blinds; the ridg-, ed and taped carpeting in classrooms needs to be replaced; the archway entrance to the school needs to be scraped and repainted; water stained ceiling tiles should be replac- ed; unattached wall baseboards should be refastened; the outdoor light fixture under the archway could be replaced with bulbs; the exit lights in the gymnasium are unlit; access to gym lights from the gym floor area would be useful and would allow for the locking of the open fuse panel on the gym stage; several desks were inadequate in the Grade 6 room where entire desk lids come right off and. some students sit on metal chair's; the woodwork in the office needs to be repainted; the front edge of the gym stage is very rough and splintered and needs • to be resurfaced; the Grade 1-2 room ap- Seaforth fishing • from page 2A from the Seaforth station where they were unloaded from the cars and are being distributed along the route. Most, of the fall wheat and barley in this vicinity has been cut and most of it safely housed and a good deal of it without having received a drop of rain. The quality of both grains is excellent and the yield of grain will be very satisfactory. The straw, however, will be short. A good many farmers are sup- plementing their short hay crop by green fodder which is being cut and housed in good Shape. A good deal of oats have been cut and`, some housed, but there is a good deal to cut yet. The oats will be a good average crop. AUGUST 5,19.s8 Police received two calls on Lions car- nival night when motorists got into difficul- ty. Edgar Butson, Staffa, reported his car stolen, which he had left parked on Main Street. It was later recovered on No. 8 Highway near the golf club. Wilmer Sand- ford, Seaforth, sustained cuts and two frac-` tured ribs wheq his car went into the ditch two miles east of town early Friday morning. With nearly 7,000 people in attendance the fourth annual Lions Club summer carnival peered very crowded. The panel wondered if primary children would have difficultuy attending to specific things in this environ- ment. The members of the panel found the wall displays and storage in this room over- stimulatind. SEAFORTH PUBLIC LIBRARY - "The facilities were clean, well -lit, warm and in- viting. With no access for wheelchairs and an imposing flight of stairs, the panel would find access to this facility difficult for the elderly. The library staff has recognized this difficulty when books are delivered. However, an elevator lift on perhaps the north side of the building would be most worthwhile." 'The panel found the Children's Library well arranged and well stocked, but noted there was no fire extinguisher present. Other repairs noted included; the coat rack in the Children's Library could be replastered and repainted; the ceiling tiles in the children's library were loose and chip- ped•in some places and should be replaced; boxes in the furnace room ought to be relocated so as not to create a fire hazard; the bathroom light bulb should be replaced; and there was no look on the furnace room door and cleaning chemicals were present. The panel noted the furnace room is easily accessible to visitors in the Childrens' Library. A report of the inspection is sent to the Ministry of the Attorney General, who in turn forwards segments of it to the ap- propriate government body for. consideration. "If everything works idealistically, it gets . to the right people," said Ms. Homuth. "I don't know if anything ever gets done, expecially when there seems always to be a lack of money, but the inspections are done." on Thursday evening set new records for this popular event. The beautiful 23/4 acre Lions park was filled to capacity throughout the evening, while two 10 acre fields adjoin- ing the park were not sufficiently large to hold cars. AUGUST 8,1963 A driving electrical storm pelted the area early Wednesday morning, giving a surge in growth to beans and row crops, but at the same time causing an estimated $40,000 fire loss in Hibbert and Stanley Townships. Grade 13 results released last week show Gisela Dormice at the top of the SDHS grade 13 class this year, with an average of 85.8 on eight papers, including the two Tuckersmith English papers. Miss Linda Papple, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Papple, of RR 5 Seaforth, has been awarded the United Nations bus trip to be held September 22 to 28 inclusive. The itinerary will include the cities of Washington and New York. A visit to the United Nations building will be one of the highlights.'

When he started the building Mr. Dalrym- ple had in mind what he wanted it to look like, and what character he wanted it to have. But his ideas changed over time and as he worked on the building. While he has achieved a rustic character on the outside of the building, the inside is somewhat Victorian with the antiques, the style of the paint and papering which is mostly a rich green, and the pine trim. The floors of the building are also of pine, and have been stained to achieve the look of a 40 year old floor. Also on the main floor is the bathroom which contains an antique tub and sink, and a room which Is to become either a third bedroom or a study. There is an archway which leads into the•sizable back kitchen which Mr. Dalrymple added to the house. The cupboards in the kitchen are among the projects he still has on the go, and he hopes to build a sunroom adjoining the kitchen in the northeast corner of the house. • The staircase salvaged from the Staffa area leads upstairs to two bedrooms. Mr. Dalrymple says he wanted to have the logs showing somewhere inside the house, so he left the walls of the bedrooms bare. There is also a full basement in the house. Outside the house sports a verandah on the front with a sway back roof, and the building's entire roof has been done with cedar shakes. On the south wall is the huge stone chimney he put together using chain - falls and scaffold. The chimney is 5' feet wide, 26 feet high, and it contains some stones which Mr. Dalrymple says weigh a lot more than he does. He says of one rock in particular, at the front corner of the chimney at the very top,"I had visions of it going down." This particular stone was about 30 inches wide and about 14 inches high, and if it had fallen it would likely have slide down the roof. "It would have played hell coming down," says MY. Dalrymple, but he didn't lose any stones. Mr. Dalrymple doesn't know how much time he has put into the house. Some weeks he put in 40 hours and on others he got tired of it and didn't do any work on it. But he did almost all the work himself. Family and friends have helped him on occassion, and he had the electrical and plumbing done, but the rest is all his handiwork from the paint on the walls to the stones in the chimney. One he gets the red oak kitchen cupboards and the sunroom finished and the landscap- ing done, the house will be complete. Mr. Dalrymple says he's pleased with the way the house has taken shape and says "I just intend to live in it for now."
