Historical Society hears
of importance of geography
In the beginning was
geography. Our history is full
of what we have done with our
geography. Adventure, ex-
plol•ation. development;
transportation, government
and the good life; said Ross
I\1 iddleton as he quoted
historian Stewart W. Wallace,
when .he spoke to the
E Iistorical Society on Monday
evening.
Mr Middleton was the third
and final speaker on a three
part series on "Our
F'nvirons," and has recently
retired as Geography Head of
('entral Huron Secondary
School in Clinton. He said
geography is the relationship
of man and his environment.
Physical, physiography,
soils, geology, climate.
drainage and location.
E:c(►nomic and Cultural -
which is land use, people,
settlements and tran-
sportation.
He questioned, in regards
to climate, "where does our
weather come from?" It is
predom inately from the
Artic; with some from the
South, but the cold air is
heavier and predominates; is
wet and variable. He said that
rivers were the earliest place
where man settled and
preferred to live. He felt more
secure, he could see farther,
1 4 tr•►,-r'l h;rd water and
food from the rivers.
Mr. Middleton said that
li,ryfieltl was chosen hecause
of its river and harbour and
w as to have been the nucleus
of .1 trade and commerce
centre fcir the shipping of
grain etc.
However, this didn't
happen and Goderich became
the "terminal on the Lake."
Mr. ,Middleton said that
hayfield 11,as come into its
,J►wn ash an important marina
centre, with more leisure
tirne and prosperity it ,has
become one of the greatest
marine centres on the east
side of Lake Huron. He said
population growth in the area
is inevitable.
With megalopolis , which
is a group of cities in a
cluster, people branch out to
smaller municipalities to get
away from the pressures. He
said Bayfield is prepared to
control its growth. It has
become incorporated, is one
of the few municipalities to
have zoning regulations, and
Secondary Plan. He said it
can prevent ribbon
development and maintain
privacy. He advrsi.d more use
of trees as "buffers" which
create the illusion of privacy
and are a wind and people
harrier.

CLLNION NEWS -RECORD. THURSDAY, MAY 12, j977.
Mr. Middleton illustrated
the physiography in the area
as well as other parts of
Ontario by showing slidcs,of
escarpments
Mr. Middleton read trona a
report of Russ .Johnston of-
Ridgetown which said that
corn cropping docs nothing to
build up th' land, as a matter
of fact it harms it, hecause of
over•tilling, overwork, tilled
too deeply and with the ad-
vent of huge tractors com-
pacting the. land and the'
fences removed making big
fields, the land is being lost at
an alarming rate, far more
than the farrners will admit
but are blaming it on urban
growth. 1
i he farmer is caught up in
an economic squeeze hecause
of the price of land. He must
crop it to realize a return on
his investment and justifies it
by blaming urbanization. hop
soil is lost at an alarming rate
each year; with big open
fields - no fences to help hold
the soil, it is eroded by wind
and water.
Mr. Middleton said, this is
the cause of having to dredge
the Bayfield Harbour each
year. He said a corn field,
cropped each year could last
approximately ten years,
which stat Led the gathering
thinking of the crop rotation
that. once was carried out in
the farming industry.
Mr. Middleton also had
some excellent maps, one of
which was the physiography
of the South Western portion
of Southern Ontario.
' Mr. Middleton was an
excellent speaker and.very
much enjoyed by the
gathering. He made
geography 'seem like a very
interesting subject and one
most certainly foremost in
our environment.
.In other business it was
announced by the president.
Mrs. Gwen Pemberton, that
the June meeting would deal
with the Bayfield Library
