Water is one of the essentials of life for humans,
animals and plants, yet most people take it for
granted. When a drought comes along like last
year's, however, people sit up and take notice.
So when bottling
companies began
applying for per-
mission to take
water from
springs and wells
in Grey and Bruce
Counties, many
people became
worried.
Meanwhile in
Huron the
concern is
polluted water.

Probably most dairy people thought the last cream producers
had disappeared by now but 163 hardy farmers like Christian
Ropp (above) are still producing farm separated cream. Many
of them are Old Order Amish and Mennonites.
