Mark summer. arrival(?)
Students and teachers at
SHDHS celebrated the arrival
of summer at a massive pic-
nic Friday. The grade 13's
overpowered their teachers in
a tug-of-war while several
staff and students attempted
the stilts and barrel races.
Few were left dry after the
team waterfights. The talents
of the Band and several other -
school singers entertained
with popular and original
songs.
The final school dance will
he this Friday at 8:00 p.m.
with a $2.50 admission. Thp
local band V.I.C. will play for
the high school attendance.
He states "this last dance is
specifically for students. Ad-
rnittancewill be restricted to
the student body."
The revised constitution for
the students council will be in-
troduced to the full council
this week. The revision and
specification of the present
constitution has been in the
formulating stage for a year
and is now ready to be pass-
ed. It must receive the sup -

Cheerleaders
place in third
The Cheerleaders of
SHINS were third at the
Huron -Perth competition held
Thursday in Listowel.
Head cheerleader Gaynor
Mullin felt the team, did well
despite not having a lot of
practice.
Goderich again won the
Huron -Perth championship
which had five schools com-
peting. Huron -Perth was the
only competition this year for
the Exeter girls. Because of
lack of time they. did not hold
the Red and Black
competition.
The cheerleaders were
judged by people from each
participating school on
various aspects of the sport.
Marks were given for flex-
ibility, timing, jumping,
height, straightness of lines,
vocal ability, endurance, eye
contact, enthusiasm and
originality. Mullin notes that
Angela Simpson, a new stu-
dent at South Huron, added to
their originality from her
cheerleading experience in
the United States.
C heerlcading will hopefully
be successful next year.
Tracey Coward will take over
the reigns from graduating
Mullin.
Two Years ago, the Ontario
Municipal Board (OMB)
madeea momentous decision
that was supposed to halt ur-
ban encroachment in the
Niagara Peninsula.
Boundaries separating
farmland so that housing, in-
dustrial plants and other ur-
ban uses would be strictly
enforced.
It was the culmination of a
10 -year struggle spearheaded
by people who were worried
about the future of this nation
in general and the preserva-
tion of the finest frultbelt in
Canada in particular.
An organization called the
Preservation of Agricultural
Lands Society (PALS) fought
the long, hard and sometimes
bitter battle to save this piece
of landrwhich is only about 50
kilometres long and 10

When the smoke of the bat-
tle cleared, everyone involv-
ed heaved a sigh of relief.
They thought the problem had
finally been settled for years
to come
But municipalities in the
Niagara Region are already
seeking exemptions from the
OMB ruling. Construction
companies are applying for
gravel pit expansions. Even
the farmers - a few of them,
anyway - are applying ,for
severances to sell land
parcels.
Because farmers are not
getting enough return on their
land and their labor, they see
no other out. If they can sell
a parcel of land, they might

stay in business a little while
longer.
Keith Wiley, one of the
area's most progressive
farmers, suggests that
farmers cannot have it both
ways: preserve land and still
sell it for homes.
"We certainly should con-
serve all the land we've got
but if agriculture was making
a fair living, there wouldn't be
pressure on the agriculture.
guys to get out," he says.
So, the 1981 boundaries set
by the OMB are again being
threatened.
Ralph Krueger, a Universi-
ty of Waterloo geographer -
scientist, sets much of the
blame squarely on the ob-
viously unconcerned
shoulders of the provincial
government.
"The provincial govern-
ment has not demonstrated a
strong commitment tp preset,
ving prime farmland and the
(Niagara) regional govern-
ment seems unwilling to rise
above the parochial develop-
ment aspirations of the local
municipalities," says
Krueger.
In other words, the pro-
vince doesn't care and the
local governments are far
more interested in expansion
than preserving the land.
Does anyone need to be
reminded about how impor-
tant this bit of land is to
Canada? •
No other land in Canada is
so well-suited to agriculture.

Well -drained clay soils and a
climate mdderated by lake
Ontario and protected by the
high Niagara Escarpment
make it unique.. Niagara has
less chance of frost damage to
peaches than Georgia, the
peach state of the Hew Hess
Hay.
In this area are the best
conditions for growing
peaches, grapes, chel•ries,
pears, plums, apples and
small fruits in all of Canada.
No other area is so valuable
to agriculture yet it is being
eaten away, sometimes in
small bites, sometimes in
large bites, even though
PALS fought hard and long to
get permanent perimetres.
It seems now that the only
possible way to stop this in-
sidious encr'suchment is to
snake sure fa•mers get a de-
cent return. .'hen, and only
then, will ti•ls beautiful
stretch of land be preserved
for future generations of
Canadians.
