SprootlipepLIAGY's column reaches Darwin, Austral*, where carl'S
niece, 'Ass Margaret Dtirliarn, daughter of Mrs. Morris DurhAM,
Clinton, has established a aecretarial ageney in partnership with A
friend, It was ole Or the "lints" for porwin.
friend Of Margaret's Wrote some interesting date for 1440Y's
•colUM11,14 folleevs:
•One hundred YeerS ago Darwin was founded, The surveyor
general of South Atistralie landed with a party h Febreary 1839 ,to
establish i settienleat. The.fiat settlement Which was in the vicinity
of what is now called Fort Hill was called Palmerston, and shortly
thereafter it changed its name W become Darwin.
In 1969 the place would be unrecognizable to the early •settlers, It
is a hustling tQWn of 25,000 people, with Suburbs mushrooming
all sides, The housing is becoming more and mere diffictilt, as the
supply cannot keep up with the demand. Caravans (traliM) are to 13e
seen in backyards all over the town, caravan parks are full, and in the
last dry season many young people who arrived not knowing how
critical the shortage was, slept on the beach, rather than pay the high
prices for accomniodation.
Anybody looking at the map of Australia might Mk therriselVe$
what is the cause ef all this growth, It appears to be the back of
beyond, the last outpost of the northern sheres. Once you have
•arrived there, it is a Tdead end from the southern sats. There is
nowhere else to go; in the wet season the road south, Kiel sometimes
the aerodrome, is closed because of the weather and only a few of
the major international airlines use it as a scheduled stop. So what is
making Darwin grow? It is really very difficult to answer this
question, The main growthappears to be government servants, who
form the largest proportion of the population, But government
servants need houses, shops, dry cleaners, business services and all
the other hosts of services required in our modern technological age.
And the mining boom has brought a number of companies
prospepting.
So Darwin is bursting at its seams as it reaches its. centenary. A
gun salute was fired at 11 a.m. on February 5 to celebrate Centenary
Day, and later in the year a series of Centenary Year programs are to
take place. •
Growers Meet Monday to talk
about roadside produce sales
This is what several Ontario
and United States fruit and
vegetable growers are advertising
these days. Come to the farm,
pick your own fruits and
vegetables, and pay for what you
pick when you leave.
The grower has the advantage
of not having as many worries
about harvesting or marketing,
and 'the 'consumer has the
opportunity to pick his own
high quality fresh produce.
A meeting for growers
interested in this type' of a
business has been arranged •for
March 24 at the Holiday Inn in
London (Hwy. 401 and
Wellington Road Exit). The
program starts at 10:30 a.m.,
featuring a talk by G, y.
Whittemore, a strawberry,
raspberry and vegetable grower
who has used the "pick your
own" concept for many years.
Mr. Whittemore will •discuss
some of the steps one should
follow in setting up this type of
•• •
business. The afternoon program
starts at one o'clock and
highlights a guest speaker from
Wattsburg, Pennsylvania, Walter
Rotthoff, who will be discussing
how these businesses operate in
his area. A panel discussion
involving these two speakers,
and local growers will follow. As
well there will be a short
discussion on the legal aspects
and liability involved in this the
"pick your own" business.
A representative from the
Ontario Department of
Highways will be on hand to
answer questions on putting up
signs and regulations involved in
a business along a highway. The
container industry will be
represented on the panel by Ken
Murray of Oakville Wood
Specialties.
This meeting is designed to
answer many of the questions
growers are having about the
"pick . your own." • business.

1 often think of March as a bit of a misfit month as months go.
It's not supposed to be winter —we mark the first day of spring this
week — still it's a little early to start putting the top down on the
convertible. •
Seasonal problems notwithstanding, March has had its share of
irnportanCevents — good and bad — over the years. In 44 B.C., it saw
Julius Caesar slain; in 1752, the appearance of Canada's first
newspaper; in 1794, the creation of the United States navy; in 1912,
the founding r2f the Gin &etas; in 1939, the German invasion of
Czechoslovakia.
Johann Strauss, Albert Einstein, David Livingston, and Johann
Sebastian Bach were all born in March, And on the third of the
month, 1847, this birth announcement from Edinburgh Scotland:
"A son is born to Eliza and Alexander M. Bell, and there is much
celebration in the household," Of course this is a most important
anniversary for all ot us at Bell Canada. We could say. many things
about this mail who made such vital contributions to modern science
and communications. But it seems to me that his own words are
probably a Much better summation of his life and philosophy, I
thought you might be interested in them:
"Don't keep forever en the public road, going only where others
have gone. Lem the beaten track roccasiohally and dive into the
woods. You will be certain to find something you have never seen
before ... Follow it up, explore all around it; One discovery will lead
to another, and before you know it you will have something worth
thinking about to occupy your mind. All really big discoveries are
the result of thought."

Informatien Or Repair Calls
For many years We accustomed our customers to dial 113 for
Inforneation and 114 for repair serviee. At the time last October of
the publication of our London, Ooderich directory a change was
Made in our information and repair service codes.
A recent study shovva, that we remember our earty teething,
rather than bow to new, because 75% of calls for assistance
(informative) are yet dialing 113 and an equal number of customers
are still adhering tO 114 for repair oils, or locating tables.
In Other WOrds:
Information trent all offiees, dial 411.
Repair Service from Ooderich, Clintoreand Creditor', dial 4104.
