EGMONDVILt-E UCW
The August meeting of the
Egmondville UCW was held le
the Sunday school room of the
church on Wednesday with the
president, Mrs. Ed oyes pre-
siding. Devotional topic, "The
Church in the Community" was
given by Mrs. M. Haney and
Miss.. F. Houston read the scrip-
ture from Luke 19: 14-42. Mrs.
Haney closed with prayer. Miss
Mae Smith was pianist for a
hymn.
In the absence of the secre-
tary, Mrs. K. McLean, Mrs. L.
Hammond was in charge of the
roll call and minutes of the
June meeting. During a short
business period, announcement
was made of the anniversary
fowl supper in October and the
annual tea and bazaar in Nov-
ember.
Mrs. H. Wilson reviewed a
chapter of the study book deal-
ing with the strength of the
nation. In an article entitled,
"The Hidden Failure of Our
Churches", this statement was
made: "Against such gigantic
forces as communism and ma-
terialism, the Christian Church
is widely held to be the most
hopeful protector of the human
ace, physically as well as spirit-
lly."
If such great hopes are pin-
ned on the Christian Church,
each of us who considers him-
self a member of the church.
has great responsibility right in
the place where we live, work
and worship. The strength of a
nation lies with its common
people. Our ideals, ideas, moral
standards of conduct, conscience
and beliefs, really determine
the destiny of our nation."
Mrs. Hammond read a story
from "Hasten the Day". This
interesting s t or y., • entitled
"Emile" is about a young
Frenchman, who left France to
come to New Fiance many
years ago, when the French
settlers were coming to • this
country. ' It dealt with Emile's
'obtaining of a contract to build
a wall under a school for French
protestants at Point. - aux -
Trembles. Today that boarding
school is under the board of
Home Missions of the United
Church. More than 100 boys
and girls receive a bilingual in-
struction in education and in
christian living.
Following the programme
and offering, Grace Stephen-
son played two hymns on the
piano. Lunch was served at the
conclusion by ladies of Group 2.

The plastic bag that was a
danger last year is still one this
year, 'and will probably continue
to be one for many yeers to
come. No amount of safety_ edu-
cation will change this fact, just
as it can't take the poison out
of furniture polish or the scald-
ing property out of boiling wa-
ter.
The facts are simple and the
most of us know them by
heart. Plastic film is air -tight.
The very thin kind has the add-
ed ability to attract static elec-
tricity, allowing it to cling to
the face. These facts put to-
gether spell suffeeation if the
fabric is misused.
After all the warnings by
safety groups in Canada over
the years, it is difficult to un-
derstand how a parent could
carelessly put a used dry-clean-
ing bag in a crib, carriage or
playpen. One might more easily
see the possibility of a child
finding one in a garbage Gin or
a drawer, and trying it on. But
Illustrious History
Behind New Plaque
Ceremonies in connection
with, the unveiling of a plaque
to commemorate an Indian Flint
Bed of the pre -historic and
early historic period, will be un-
veiled at the park headquarters
in Ipperwash Provincial Park,
Lambton County, next Satur-
day. The plaque is one of a
series being'• erected through-
out the province by the Depart-
ment of Travel and Publicity,
acting on the advice of the
Archaeological and Histooric
Sites Board of Ontario.
Two miles' west of the site
where the plaque stands, low
ridges of chert or "flint" in the
Stoney Point Indian Reserve,
run at right angles across the
beach and project into and un-
der the waters of Lake Huron.
Over the ,years the action of
water and ice erosion has re-
leased nodules of this material.
Even if the nodules are not
present at any given time, it is
a comparatively easy task to
break off pieces of this easily -
worked rock. This flint bed was
of unestimable value to the ab-
original irbr it nts of the re-
gion. CC��
Before the days" of European
-Contact, it provided the most
desired material 'from which the
Indians made their essential
tools for war and for domestic
use. Spearheads; -arrow points,
knives and: scrapers were
fashioned with great skill from
this material, and the posses-
sion of flint beds within their
territory was a first-rate asset to
a region's inhabitants.
Archaelogical investigation in
the Ipperwash area by Dr. Wil-
fred Jury of the University of
Western Ontario has revealed
many campsites- or "workshops"
where the Indians fashioned
their implements from the raw
material, It is believed that the
nodules of chert were first frac-
tured into pieces of manageable
size by placing them on a hard-.
er rock. Using this as a fulcr ten,
a tree trunk or strong pole
would be inserted beneath the
roots of an adjoining tree and
leverage applied to achieve the
desired fracturing. The result-
ant pieces would then be fur-
ther shaped by percussion chip-
ping with antlers or other tolls.
However, the absence of con-
siderable numbers of finished
,artifacts would suggest that the
final stages of manufacture
were carried out elsewhere.
The Ipperwash site was.. evi-
dently used over a very 'long
period of time by different In-
dian groups. Carbon° dating of
material from campsites in the
area has indicated that these
workshops were in existence
some 2,700 years ago, and there
is evidence that the ridge. was
worked more or less continuous-
ly until the advent of European•
trade goods in the first half of
the 17th century, at which time
the Neutral (Attiwandaron) In-
dians controlled this region.
he absence of any evidence of
llage sites or permanent oc-
upation in the immediate area
ould indicate that the Indians
ere drawn from considerable
distances by the superior qual-
ity of the flint deposits.
To the present residents, of
the area and to visitors to our
province, Ipperwash `offers re-
creational facilities and holi-
day pleasures. Sterner object-
ive drew the earlier residents
of the surrounding region to
this site, for it provided them
with the weapons and utensils
essential to their existence.

REFRIGERATION
RECOMMENDED
"Roses are red, violets are blue,
• Tomatoes are red, and good for
you."
Somehow rhymes like this
one often stick with us long
after straight memorized facts
have fled our minds. The key
thought here of course, is that
"tomatoes aregood for us."
Canada's Food Guide recom-
mends that each person eat
daily, two servings of fruit or
juice,, including a satisfactory
source of Vitamin C, such as
tomatoes or vitaminized apple
juice,
Food experts at Macdonald
Institute, Guelph, remind that
tomatoes are one vegetable that
should not be refrigerated.
When green, tomatoes should
be held at `temperatures not
lower than 55° F. and used im-
mediately on ripening. If you
buy or pick tomatoes when ripe,
keep them at a temperature of
45° F. or. higher. At lower tem-
peratures, tissue breakdown oc-
curs, giving watery tomatoes.
Of course for salads, you should
refrigerate to chill, but not for
the longer storage periods.
Looking for a different toma-
to taste? Then Baked Tomatoes
could very well be the ideal
treat for you and your family.
Wash one medium sized toma-
to per person, removing the
hard part of the stem. Cut in
half, crosswise.
Placed in a greased baking
dish with the cut side up.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and
grated Ontario mild or medium
cheddar cheese. Cover with
buttered crumbs. Bake uncov-
ered in. a "375° F. oven until
tender.
of the eight children who have
died since the beginning of the
year, six had plastic right in
their cribs or carriages used as
mattress covers. Sheets' which
had covered the plastic were in
every case pulled away to ex-
pose it.
The Ontario Safety League
warns parents again that thin
plastic in the crib, carriage or
playpen, or in the house at all,
is a suffocation threat to their
children. Find it now, and de-
stroy it.
Seaforth Native,
Nearing 96,1s
Chicago Dentist
A Chicago paper, in a story in
a recent issue, referred to a Sea -
forth native and well-known
dentist, Dr. Joseph Prendergast.
The story foalows:
It took a lot of living, but a
Westchester man has, in effect,
become his own in life insur-
ance beneficiary. Dr. Joseph
Prendergast, 10350 Dickens St.,
turned . the trick by outliving
the mortality tables that were
in force when he took out' his
poli y even though the actuarial
ods against such an event are
1 ,000 to 14.
A native of Seaforth, Ontario,
Dr. Prendergast is four months
short of his 96th birthday, but
he is considered to have out-
lived the applicable tables of
his policy because he has pais -
ed the policy anniversary near-
est his next birthday, which will
be October 9.
One of two surviving mem-
bers of Rush medical college's
class of 1894, Dr. Prendergast
did -graduate work in Vienna in
1908, and then became a gen-
eral practitioner with offices in
Chicago.• In addition, he lectur-
ed occasionally at the Chicago
college of dental surgery.
He retired from professional
work in 1941, at the age of 74,
-The physician drove a ear un-
til he was 85, and until two
years ago, walked from two to
five miles a day. -
He attributes his lonegivity
to heredity, pointing out that
his father lived to the age of
86; he has a half-sister aged,
80; and his three brothers lived
to- the ages of 82, 75, and 74
years_
Looking back to the days
when horses and buggies were
replaced by automobiles, and
the beginning of aviation, and
the peaceful world that existed
before World War 1, Dr. Pren-
dergast is optomistic about the
future. "I don't think Russia
will dominate the world," he
said. " We have a stronger, and
a different spirit."
He resides with a niece, Mrs,
Lillian S. Hill.

The former Margaret David-

daughter of the late Mr, and
Mrs. Thomas Davidson. 'In 1907
she married Calvin Hillen, who
predeceased her in 1959.
Surviving are two Sons, Stan-
ley, McKillop Township; Harvie,
Kingston; and two daughters,
Mrs. Kenneth (Bessie) Cowan,
Midland; and Mrs. Peter (Edith)
Dunlop, Seaforth. Also surviving

Hair: Damage
(Continued from Page 1)
mined by the county and local
assessors.
Speakers indicated t ii e r e
would be difficulty in arriving
at a fair assessment of damage.
All agreed that' if anything was
to be dote it would be necessary
to act quickly. grain already
was sprouting and evidence of
damage would disappear under
new growth. As combining con-
tinued, there would be no means
of determining loss in yield. It
would ,be necessary to depend
on what each owner said con-
cerning his loss.
Harry Arts, who farms on No.
8 Highway, east of Seaforth,
said he had- insurance on his
crops. He expected a 90% loss
on beans. Oats were 100% loss
and most of what was left of
wheat and barley fell off when
combined or swathed.
He had had some hail last
year and for this reason took
insurance on this year's crop.
The cost was $5 a $100 on beans
up to $50 an acre and $2 a $100
on grain up to a maximum of
$40 an acre.
Reeve Dan Beuremap, of Mc-
Killop, said damage in McKillop
was extensive and would run
into many acres. Ile was unable
until a survey was completed
to say how many farms were
affected.
Discussion revealed that da-
mage was more extensive than
first reported. Many names of
farmers affected had been omit-
ted from early lists' that had
been published but these would
be included when the survey
was completed.
In Grey township damage ex-
tended from the 6th to the 10th
concessions. The storm, which
appeared to travel from the
north to the south east, caused
damage on at.least 25 farms in
Grey.
John Wood, Tuckersmith,
asked Mr. Cardiff if it was true
western farmers received $4 an
acre to a maximum of $200 but
the Huron MP said he didn't
know. He agreed that all paid_
taxes and that farmers in On-
tario
were entitled t ed t
o the same
treatment as farmers in the
west. "It doesn't make any dif-
ference whether they are in the
east or the west," he said.
Answering ,a query concern-
ing government insurance, Mr.
MacNaughton said a committee
of the legislature had been in-
vestigating a possible plan for
government-sponsored crop in-
surance but had found there
was little interest. He urged the
meeting to make a decision as
to whether further action wa§
to be taken. If it was decided to
proceed a survey was necessary
and he suggested a small com-
mittee meet him in Toronto to
discuss with officials how this
might be carried out.
Decision to consider the mat-
ter further was taken by the
meeting when it aproved a
motion by Melville Lamont,
Ethel, and William Dennis, Mc-
Killop, "that a committee con-
sisting of a representative from
each of Tuckersmith, Grey and
McKillop be formed to work
with area members of parlia-
ment to investigate the possibil-
ity and advisability df obtaining
assistance for those 'producers
in the three townships who suf-
fered loss 'in a hail storm, July
18, 19, 1962." the meeting
agreed the committee could add
additional members if desirable
and approved a further motion
by Fred Glanville and Ken•
Bray, that the members of the
committee be the reeves of the
townships concerned.
