Honourable William A. Stewart, Minister of Agricul. ture and Food, announced today that a new School of Agricul­ ture and Home Economics would begin operation this fall at the former R.C.A.F. Base at Cen- ■ tralia. A section of the former base has been designated as a campus for the new school. Excellent facilities already exist on this campus and include men’s resi­ dence, women’s residence, classroom and office building, and a dining hall - lounge - library building, Recreational facilities for bowling, swim­ ming, basketball and curling also are available on-the base. The Minister stated that the establishment of this school in South Huron would relieve the situation at Kemptville, Ridge­ town,and Guelph, where the pre­ sent facilities are overtaxed by the recent expansion in enroll­ ment. It is anticipated that the demand for training in agricul­ ture and home economics will continue to expand. The Depart­ ment of Agriculture and Food has the responsibility of pro­ viding such post high school training in Ontario. The entrance requirements for Centralia will be similar to those for diploma courses at Kemptville, Ridgetown, and Guelph, which prefer a secon. dary school graduation diploma. Consideration will be given to mature applicants whose ex- perience may be equivalent to the normal entrance require- • ments. The new school, in its Agri­ cultural Courses, will place particular emphasis on farm business management. It was the opinion of the Minister that the business aspects of farm- ing now had to underscore all technical advances and re­ search findings. The Minister said that the new Centralia courses would make it possible to turn out graduates with the practical experience and training neces­ sary in agriculture today. The Minister also announced that Mr. J. A. MacDonald, for­ merly Associate Director, Wes­ tern Ontario Agricultural School, would be Principal of the Centralia School. Other staff appointments would be an­ nounced in the near future* Students wishing to obtain application forms of further in* formation should write to the Principal, Centralia School of Agriculture, Centralia, On­ tario. 1 G/C & Wallace Ryari, CD Swindle Victim An elderly Clintonian was bilked of close to $1,000 two • weeks ago by confidence trick­ sters who have left a trail of similar victims in their wake across southern Ontario in re­ cent weeks. Local and provincial police forces face the dilemma of be­ ing virtually powerless in pre­ venting the crime, while chances of apprehending the con artists are slim. According to police chief Russ Thompson, the latest vic­ tim - whose name is being with, held by his department - re­ ceived a telephone call from someone claiming tobe his bank manager. According to the cal* ler he required a confidential' loan of $985 to help someone in trouble. The victim was urged' to go to the bank, withdraw the cash, and return home with it where he would be met by a messenger. Thinking nothing of the request the victim did as he was asked. He no sooner returned home with the money when he re­ ceived a telephone call instruc. ting him to leave the telephone off the hook and have the per­ son collecting the money speak to the bogus “bank manager”. Presumably this move was • made to allay any suspicions the victim may have had at this point. The victim then handed over the money and the unidentified huckster politely left telling his victim he would receive an­ other telephone call the follow­ ing morning by 11 a. m. instruc­ ting him on how he would get a “$400 bonus”. After waiting Base HumsCentralia The Ontario government is meeting the space age half way by developing its first indus- trial park.—’ complete with run. ways. The runways were part of a package deal the government got when it decided to buy the former RCAF base at Centra­ lia and turn it into an indus­ trial park. Centralia is 25 miles north of London in western Ontario, on the fringe of the province’s main industrial corridor. It is also designated as a low income area by the government. “Having the three hard-sur­ face runways will be a big time saver for executives who want to fly in to check plant oper­ ations.” says Alan Etchen, vice- chairman and managing direc- tor of the Ontario Development Corp., which will manage the park. The runways will accommo­ date small jet aircraft. Mr. Etchen says the park is in a good location because it is close to major United States and Canadian cities, good high. Managing Editor Named To News-Record The appointment of Mr, Jim Barnett as managing editor of the Clinton News-Record was announced by publisher R. G. “Bob'* Shrier this week. A native of Glasgow Scot­ land, Mr.’ Barnett came to Can. ada in 1958 and has become well known as a writer and broadcaster in western Canada. Prior to his recent arrival in Ontario Mr. Barnett spent several years as a reporter and business editor on the Winnipeg Free Press and was associate editor of a national farm magazine. More recently he was associated With the grain trade in Western Canada. In making the announcement, Mr. Shrier said “Jim brings a Wealth of experience to this hOW position. His wide exper­ ience In the publishing field, coupled with an extensive back­ ground in Canadian agriculture should go a long way to fur­ thering our policy Of providing our readers With a well round­ ed community-conscious news* paper?* Mr. Barnett is a graduate of Lawers College Of Agricul­ ture, Scotland, and is keenly interested in farm affairs. Ho Whs an original member of the until 2 p.m. the irate victim called his bank manager want, ing to know why he hadn’t kept his promise to call. It was at this point that the deception was discovered. By then says chief Thompson, “the crooks were well on their way”, About the only safeguard any­ one has against this sort of thing, says Thompson,is for the person receiving the call to immediately call his bank man. ager personally to establish authenticity. He urges the public to be particularly suspicious of any telephone call that relates to money matters, unless the per­ son is absolutely sure of the caller’s identify. ways and to shipping on Lake Erie and Lake Huron. The CNR also runs a line into the base. The idea ■ of buying the 767 acre base was initiated by Char­ les S. MacNaughton, provincial treasurer, after the federal gov­ ernment decided to close it in June 1966. This meant a loss of aoout $5,000,000 a year to the com­ munity, which is in Mr. Mac- Naughton’s riding. The province bought the (site for $600,000 and is spending an­ other $600,000 to put it into shape for industry. The park comprises 80 build­ ings of various sizes, ranging from seven of some 40,000 square feet each to industrial and office areas of 10,000 square feet or less. “All the facilites are there for an assembly operation,” Mr. Etchen says. “It would probably be ideal for auto parts pepie, especially with the Ford .car assembly plant in nearby Talbotville. ” JIM BARNETT National Farm and Business Forum, sponsored by the Win­ nipeg Chamber Of Commerce, and is a past president Of Man­ itoba Farm Writers and Broad­ casters Association* Away from the office he enjoys ski* Ing, curllng,and writing. /
