IJ.1HURON Saift DciPatimim, TIACTOR;x�'263542�5 WHAT PRICE HISTORY? - The stone cairn at the edge of Harpurhey, erected in 1928 to commemorate the opening of the Huron Tract, is showing the effects of 62 years of Ontario weather and wear. An engineer has been appointed by Tuckersmith Council to estimate repair costs on the monument. Elliott photo. Take them to Task • from page 2A vation program, declares $7.5 million to the fertilizer industry over five years to expand crop nutrient management and protect groundwater. Don't ask me to explain these vaguely worded promises. Ask the candidates in Huron. If they're truly interested, they'll know the details. NDP Leader Bob Rae hasn't been pinned down to promises yet. He rails away at "motherhood issues" like the Liberal government's lack of protection for Southwestern Ontario farmland, threats from urban growth and landfill sites, and condemns the corporate polluters. So, how's he proposing to solve these problems? Ask your candidate! PC 's Mike Harris is going to freeze the taxes. And in a blanket statement, he says that the government must come up with financial assistance for farmers that includes programs to stabilize crop prices to keep them on the land. What does this mean, Mike? "How're you gon- na keep them...down on the farm?" We don't want charity. We want a chance to sell our produce at fair prices. Is anybody listening out there? Could it be that with Ontario's total electorate of 6 million; the declining farm population of 72,000 plus their spouses is just not large enough for the politicians to take seriously as they travel from city to city. Oh, they make the occasional token appearance wearing their plaid shirts at a corniest or standing on a hay wagon at the friendly farm of some devoted supporter, but do they really listen? Huron County has the largest number of census farms in Ontario and leads the other counties in the value of agricultural produce sold. 86% of our total land area is valuable Class 1,2, or 3, and we are tops in the production of many crops. As an industry in Ontario, agriculture accounts for $5 - 6 billion worth of produce each year, which translates into $16 billion worth of value-added produce and many related jobs and secondary industries. That is why, my friends, we must take a very close look at all prospective candidates. When they say they are for agriculture, listen and ask questions. Compare their dream of Ontario agriculture with your vision of how things should be, and make an informed decision.

When the children of this and other generations shall ask, ..What mean ye by these stuns?", there will be ample material for their information in the written record of addresses delivered beside the cairns at Fryfogle's Tavern at Stafford, Seebach' Hill, Mitchell, Harpur- hey, Goderich and Clinton." BY PAULA ELLIOTT Sixty-two years have taken their toll on the Huron Tract com- memorative Cairn, located in Har- purhey, and a Seaforth resident has approached Tuckersmith Council about the possibility of having it brought up to snuff again. Paul Carroll wrote to Tuckersmith Council, expressing his concern about the state of disrepair that the Cairn has fallen into. Erected on Labour Day, 1928, the monument is made of field stone and cement and bears a stone plaque with the date and a tribute to the Huron Tract developers. The cement in the cairn, which stands roughly eight feet high, has crumbled away in places and is cracked throughout. A few of the stones have fallen out of the edifice. Tuckersmith Council has written to the Ontario Ministry of Culture and Communications to see if repairs to the cairn could be coverea oy a grant. Larry McGrath made a motion, seconded by Deputy Reeve Bill Carnochan, that a cost estimate on repairs be ob- tained before any action is taken. Clerk Jack McLachlan pointed out that the cairn was originally erected in conjunction with Seaforth and the townships of McKillop and Hullett, and that these municipalities might be approached to help with repair costs. "What useful purpose does it serve?", questioned Councilor Rowena Wallace, remarking that the repair of older stone markers, such as headstones and cairns, often involves the use of specially ap- proved concrete. Don Eplett, in the Mitchell clerk's office, said that the 62 -year-old Huron Tract cairn on that town's main street has been repaired several times in the past. The rein- forcement of the stone cairn is looked after by town maintenance crews and is not considered a special project. Tuckersmith will be having an engineer in to look over the monument, and assess the repair costs.
