On December 8 'another .year
of 'history Was added to event-
AA life .of FAMg when the an-
4441 meeting ,w04 held at
Brampton, !been quite a
On December 1, 0.964, Mr,
Gunner, the forcer owner re-
possessed the shares -of the
Fearellen. Co, when FAME fall,
od to meet fits payment commit'
However Mr. Gunner gave an
extra month for FAME to
raise the nicePY., Three or four
of the directors with the help
of their .County Committees
made a valiant _effort to raise
funds tp the extent of about
$100,000. Another $100,000. or
se _came irr by mail from share-.
holeees, Actually -the total was
$217,004, However $500,000,
was necessary so the effort
failed and the cheques were re-
turne'd'.
• On Jenuary 15 a. meeting of
shareholders elected what,. in
effect, was a new Board to
manage 'the affairs of FAME
and parry out the program to
a successful conclusion.
In spite of the fact that Mr.
Gunner indicated that he was
willing to extend the dead line
for another three months for
the raising of the necessary
funds, the new Board requested
a Royal Comnaission• to inquire
into the affairs of FAME. All
attempts to raise funds • were
abandoned until the report of
the Mettler was made public.
By disposing of properties to
pay expenses FAME remained
more or less solvent. In the
meantime petitions were made
to the Ontario Government re-
questing 'a guarantee for 'amort-
gage loan against the Feai:man
plant for $2,000,000., the amount
e'stima'ted necessary to pay off
the one million owing and to pro-
vide working capital to bring
the plant up to a volume of
business necessary to make it
self-sustaining. Naturally the
government had to await the
results of the iipeeiry,
The Commissioner's report
Was released about the middle
of Ootoher,
It said a great mane' things
about blendering on the part
of former Board members Par-
ticniarlY, leak of eemerience, the
difficulties in the packipg in-
dustry, etc, However all these
things eoeld have been correot ece
The one conchesion that end-
ed all hope of funds from Gov-
ernment was the commission-
er's yew definite statement
that "FAME couldne; 'have sue-
,ceeded even had a loan been
obtained, because the packing
plant couldn't operate success-
fully when it had to pay inter-
est op ouch a large percentage
of its cost",
In other word's •he stated that
a -new modern efficient plant,
in• fact 'the most modern plant
in Canada, couldn't pay interest
on •two thirds of the total a-
mount of capital necessary to
operate at 90 percent of cap-
acity, (These figures Would
have completely Paid for the
Feaanan shares and would have
provided 'for a slaughter of 720
cattle ,and 5400 hogs pew week).
The report may have sounded
reasonable to ,a lot of farmers
since they know very well that
this is true in farming but sur-
ely it 'is ridiculous when ap-
plied to the Packing House in-
dustry.
In 'the light of 'this report
there must be some pretty
stupid blundering en the part of
Canada Packers directors when
they 'spent a reported $7,000,-
000 on their Toronto plant ee-
cently and are now proposing
to build 'a new multi-million
dollar plant in the London area.
Does this mean that Canada
Packers shareholders are going
to forego dividends on % of
their shares?
Yes! Canada Packers direct-
ors acre stupid! "Stupid like a
fox" as a friend of mime Was

Mrs. Middleton treasures a Church of Ireland prayer
book presented to her grandmother, Mary Tueneth, by her
native parish church ih Fermanagh County, 7 November
1643 "for diligenee in attending and preparing weekly cate,
chador lectures." She emigrated to Canada West to many
Matthew Johnston.
Lucy asked Carl "Who wap the firSt Rector, you recall?"
"The. Reverend Sylvester Smith" he replied promptly, "and
when he left I wasn't ever going to church again "But he
soon seceumbed to the gentle eharm of the Reverend E. C.
Jennings and went willingly with his parents. His first
Sunday School teacher was Phpm'e Legan and the next
Lottie Waokes. Erma recalled that her Atuit Annie Faster ,
was her first Sunday School teacher,
The Reverend Wm. Hinde was appointed to the Parish
in 1906. He drove 'here from Port Burwell with his horse
and two dogs, arriving on July 22, 'the day of the St. John'e•
Garden Party,
That day is firmly fixed in Lucy's memory for she went
with her parents and balby sister toethe Garden Party. She
sat on the little seat in the phaeton with her back to the
horse — not a position to her liking!
As they drove up the front road, 'as it was known in
. those clays, the' new. Realer came out from the Rectory, Dr.
Woods stopped the horse to greet him and tell him of the
garden party.
. •
Mr. Hirele carried a little tin pail and said he was going
to the neigh'bour's -(George Kereg) to see if he could get a little'
milk for the dogs — his own fox terrier "Billy" and his
daughter's Scotch, collie "Laddie".
Lucy's eyes must have bulged for he wore a dressing
gown and bedeoorne slippers, — and he was out on the road
in them! She was not, permitted to set foot outside the door
in her bedroom slippers. She was shocked!!!
The St, John's Church garden parties were outstanding
events. (Mrs', Prod Middleton, formerly Muriel Johnston,
Huron Road, near Goderich, recalls that when a girl, she
always visited her uncle John MeNa,ug,hton to be there for
this gala occasion.). They were held on the McAsh ground's. _
Lucy admired the Chinese lanterns containing candles
which were strung .amongst the trees. The odd coal all
lanterns and lamps on tables augmented' the colourful dis-
play. The band played and everything was gay and lovely.
The young blades were treating their best girls to lemonade,
ice-cream or a slice of watermelon obtained at the booth
operated by George Beatty.
Lucy doesn't recall the supper. Perhaps she was too
excited 'to eat for, according to her elders, her appetite as a
child left much to be desired. But 8lie can vouch for the
good meals served by -that congregation in later years. The
ladies didn't bake one or two pies or. cakes, — they each -
• contributed tables' full. And all the members, young and old
worked together. 'to make the event -a success.
Garden parties entailed work for three days. Carl re-
calls with ,a chuckle an incident when 'he was 'a young man.
He had helped the other men take the chairs and
benches back to the Town Hall and Temperance Hall. The
large open flame coal-oil light loaned by E. Epps from his.
blacksmithshop had been returned. When he went back to
McAsh's, Miss' Kathleen McNaughton was busy with a row of
lamps. on a table,
• "Are you doing anything Carl?" she, asked. He wasn't at
the moment. "Get a cloth and help me clean these lamp
glasses" she instructed. He looked around and saw one hang-
ing on' an apple tree limb. He was. industriously •polishing
lamp glasses when Mrs. Frank Weekas came along looking
for her apron. Neither had seen it, but started to• help her
look for it. When she said, "I left it hanging on that? limbe"
.Carl held up his polishing cloth, Chagrined to find it was
her 'apron.
The last garden parties were held on the lawn at the
country home of Dr. Lloyd 1VIciffatt.
