Mr. and Mrs. 'Bert Heibein of
Brussels are marking their fiftieth
wedding anniversary today. They
were married in the Listowel
United Church Parsonage by Rev.
E. W.. Edwards on February 20,
1924.
Two days before their wedding,
the weather .had been so stormy
that on February 20 there were
'pitch holes 3 feet deep,' the
Heibeins said.
- Mrs. Heibein is the former

of Molesworth were the groom's
parents.
Following their marriage they

A delegation frOm Huron
County that met with the resource
ministers of the Ontario cabinet
came away from the meeting last
week hopeful that it had made an
impression with its argument to
save Huron County farmland.
The delegation, led by
members of the Bruce-Huron
Hydro Negotiating Committee,
met with representatives of the
ministries of agriculture, natural
resources, environment and
energy. They were backed up' by
Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron
Bruce and Jack Riddell, M.P.P.
for Huron.
The delegation was in Toronto
to try to convince the cabinet to
put pressure on Ontario Hydro to
consider routes for theDouglas-
Point to Seaforth power corridor
that would not be over good farm
land. Present plans call for the
corridor to be built over prime
farm land. The committee claims
the line can be built over other
land that is not of great value as
,fartnland.
Dave MeCalluni of Wingham
who was a member of the
delegation said Thursday evening
folloWing the meeting that the
delegation had been received

of R.R.#2, Listowel. They have 25
grandchildren and 12 great
grandchildren.
"super minister" for resource
development told the delegation
the brief they presented was
"very timely". He said the old
book was closed on the way Hydro
lines were planned.
Mr. McCallum said Agri-
cultural Minister William Stewart
promised full backing for the
group. Darcy McKeough,
Energy Minister, was not at the
meeting but his assistant was and
took comprehensive notes on the
