For Kathleen and Erlin Whit- more two hundred acres et ItN 1, Seaforth is all they want to cope with right now. ,On their mixed farm operation they grow their own crops, pro- duce their own grain and raise their own livestpck. Holstein cows are crossed to get their beef cattle, and they average be- tween '60 'and 60 head. They buy weaned pigS arid feed,,finish them and market about 150 a year. Kathleen's Views' on farming were mixed. "In this part of the country there are quite a few farms In cash crops, and some get them and some don't" she said. "We always figured if we had a little bit of a few things we had a better chance to survive." "There's a great deal of hard work in farming for the amount of return, and yet it' s a wonder- ful way of life." "I feel that today you have to have a lot of courage to start out to farm, and you certainly have to have equipment which is very expensive. With the un- certainty of success in spe- cialized farming, or with a failure in cash crops, there's such a terrific setback." "Too, you either have to have a lot of land of your own, or else do custom work. To start farming today you have to have a tremendous amount of nerve and stamina." Married for thirty years she came to the farm as a bride and shared the house with her husband's parents. After her mother-in-law's death her father-in-law continued to live with them as long as he was able. She still continues to do some chores and most of the book work, and says that like the ma- jority of farm women everywhere she helps where she can. "I'm what you might call the 'chore boy' around here,", she added. "Ialso, with my daughter's help, look after the flower and vege- table garden, keep the grass cut during the summer, and do quite a bit of my own decorating." Outel interests have in- cluded being a 4-H leader over the years. For several years she has been the 4-11co-ordinator for the Seaforth district. The Royal scarlet Chapter met in the Orange .Hall at Bay- field last Tuesday evening with W.C., Charles Reid of Varna in charge. The officers elected for 1973 are as follows: I.P.W.C.,Charles Reid, Varna; W.C., Lloyd Hern, Exeter; D.C., Wm. Dickey, wood - ham; Scribe, Ivan McClymont, Varna. s Chaplain, Burns Blacker, Woodham; Treasurer, Wm. Mc- Ilwain, Hayfield; Marshall, Wm. Parker, Bayfield; 1st Lect., Harold Davis; Kirkton; and Lect!, Eric Hodgins, Lucan; 1st Cond, Wellwood Gill, Grand Bend;. 2nd Cond, Frank McClinchey, Zurich; Explaining her work as co- ordinator Kathleen said that at the present time they have twelve clubs in the Seaforth district and her job was to see that these clubs had leaders. "Basically OMAF is back of this arrangement. They have the training schools and achievement days and I, as co-ordinator, work through OMAF, and generally the Institutes and leaders. It's a sort of triangle." ewe are quite delighted with the fact that within the last three years the number of 4-H clubs went froth six to,twelve, and it's going to continue to grow." eA. lot of the leaders are parents of girls who are active in 4-H. I have a. leader who has lead 25 club, and she says she has never yet come back from a training course that she hasn't learned something. We do have a good group in the Seaforth area, and there's always 'a lot of interest. Which, of course makes my work that much more pleasant." "When we had a rural church up the line 1 taughfSundaySchool there, but when it closed I stopped teaching .• I wouldn't presume to try to teach today; the whole concept of religion has changed, and children's outlooks and values are very different now." Past president of the Sea- forth W.I. she feels the Insti-• tutes need to draw in the younger people to survive. Also a life member of the U.C.S., she is not active in it at the present time. Their 1'7 year old son Ralph was killed in a car crash last March, and this has left a big gap in their lives. Si xteen year old Karen, their only child now, is going to school. Kathleen felt that at the moment she didn't have or want too many outside interests. "My daughter's interests are really mine at the present time. We sew together, shop and bake to- gether. I also do a little knit- ting, crocheting and needle- point" "My whole interest, ba- 4sically, is people. And I hope 'a. little later on to be able to devote my time to them. I was thinking in terms of per- visitirirreirsing homes, or working with the Children's Aid or some similar organization where they need help with people." Sentinel, Ronald Denham, Wood- ham. The officers were installed py past W.C., Fred McClymont, VArna. • The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be' administered in the United Church next Sunday.
