Goderich Twp. recreation
The April meeting of the
Goderich township recreation
council was held at the
council room, Holmesville on
Wednesday, April 19. Doug
Yeo, Hazel McCreath, Art
Bell, Marilyn Forbes, Bev
Orr and Grant Stirling at-
tended.
The main topic of study at
the meeting was evaluations
of the responses to the
swimming questionnaire
which had been sent by mail
to all township box holders. In
answer. 37 children sent in
notice of their interest in
swimming lessons.
Not all reports on pool
prices, bus prices, etc were
presented at the meeting as
had been expected, so a
special swim committee was
set up to arrange a proposed
swimming program with
costs involved, to be
presented for approval to the
May 17 meeting.
It is anticipated that a bus
will be hired to make several
pick-ups throughout the
township and take the
Tax-free transfers allowed now
Effective immediately,
incorporated family farms
can be transferred to a son or
daughter without payment of
capital gains tax, the federal
budget speech announced.
Tax-free transfers have
been allowed for unin-
corporated family farms but
incorporated farms were
excluded. Many farmers
have complained that this is
not fair.
A finance department
spokesman said there are
roughly 15,000 incorporated
farms in Canada, many of
them family operations.
Many farmers incorporated
to take advantage of tax
advantages given to small
businesses.
Without the special rule, a
farmer taking over the family
farm. from his parents had to
pay the gains tax. The rule
does not free them totally
from this tax; they must pay
if they ever sell it to someone
else.
The spokesman said'having
to pay thousands of .dollars in
taxes would be a great burden
for a young person taking
over a family farm.
The exemption also applies
to farm partnerships.
To qualify, the corporation
or partnership must be
farming in Canada, sub-
stantially all of its assets
must be used in the business
and at least one member of
the farmer's family must be
actively engaged in running
the farm.

children for swim classes in
August. On the swim com-
mittee are Doug Yeo, Hazel
McCreath and Alice Porter.
It was moved by Art Bell
and seconded by Bev Orr that
the secretary keep an
itemized record of all bills
and receipts on a monthly
basis.
Grant Stirling reported the
township council has received
word of approval for the.
Wintario grant which was
requested for the new
township athletic field
scheduled for development
soon. Volunteers will be
required to help clear and
level the proposed sports
field.
Art Bell was appointed to
arrange for three township
dances at White Carnation
during the year.
Distribution of township
crests is moving ahead
smoothly. Marilyn Forbes
and Grant Stirling appear to
be the top salespeople.
The next meeting is
scheduled for May 17' at 8:30
p.m.
Cure for bean disease coming
Plant breeders at the
Ontario Agricultural College
in Guelph are working to
combat a new disease
threatening Ontario's white
bean crop.
Anthracnose, a fungus
disease affecting bean crops,
hasn't been a problem for
several years, but a new
strain of the disease has
appeared and it has white
bean growers worried.
Crop scientist Dr. W.
Beversdorf, says the new
strain of anthrancnose ap-
peared in the Ontario white

The worship services in the
Holmesville United Church
was well attended last Sun-
. day. Miss Brenda Harris and
Jacqueline Norman sang a
spring carol.
Rev. Oestreicher told the
children a story "Lulu the
Kangaroo" before attending
their classes. Rev.
Oestreicher also told the
congregation to be sure to
change their clocks so no one
would miss church.
WI meets
The executive of the
Goderich Township Women's
Institute met at the home of
Hazel McCreath in Goderich
Monday evening. Programs
were arranged for the coming
year.
Mrs. Margaret Coombs and
Mrs. Millie Dempsey are
conveners for the May
meeting. This is the time to
reveal our Sunshine Sister. A
plant and talent auction is
planned for the June meeting.
Personals
Weekend visitors with Jean
and Clarence Perdue were
their daughter Joyce and
husband Gordon Sillwood of
Barrie.
There was an error in the
news last week: children 6-18
years may join the baseball
teams not 6-8 years.

bean crop two years ago and
last year affected 18"percent
of the seed crop.
The disease causes leaves
to wilt. If affected early in the
season, plants can die. If
affected later in the season,
the beans become discolored
and unattractive for human
consumption.
A research project to
develop varieties of white
beans resistant to the disease
was begun a year ago. It is
funded by the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food.
By introducing a gene from
a European brown bean
variety, Dr. Beversdorf is
breeding resistance into the
four varieties of white beans
grown in Ontario.
It will take two years to
complete the necessary
breeding and another two
years to get the resistant
varieties on the market.
In the meantime, two new
systemic fungicides have
been developed to control
anthracnose. These new
fungicides will act as a
stopgap measure until
resistant varieties are
available to commercial
growers.
Because of the affects of
anthracnose last year, there
were predictions of a white
bean seed shortage.
However, it looks like there
will be sufficient seed sup-
plies if growers plant at
recommended seeding rates.

Best peach orchards in this area
By John Gardner
Extension Horticulturist
It is no coincidence that
some of the finest peach
orchards in Ontario are the
most northerly, located on a
ridge of gravelly loam soil in
Goderich Township in Huron
County between Bayfield and
Goderich.
A glance at the
physiographic map of south-
western Ontario shows
distinct land forms running
north and south, parallel to
the southern portion of Lake
Huron, approximately 3
kilometres inland. The map's
key identifies these as
beaches more than 500
metres wide.
Although the actual
topographic expression is
slight at certain points, these
beaches are the remnants of
the shoreline of glacial Lake
Warren, which receded some
10,000 years ago. Because of
the proximity of these ridges
to Lake Huron, they set the
stage for an ideal com-
bination of climate, site and
soil for peach culture.
Temperature is the most
important climatic factor
affecting the geographic
distribution of fruit plantings.
Injury from freezing tem-
peratures is' far less likely
within two or three
kilometres of a large body of
water such as Lake Huron.
Proximity to Lake Huron
has been recognized for some
time as a factor in
ameliorating the climate
Stock Assn. holds meeting
The regular monthly
meeting of the Huron County
Poultry, Pigeon and Pet
Stock Association was held
Tuesday evening, April 18
with 18 members and several
visitors present. Dr.
Josephson from the
Veterinary Diagnostic
Labratory at Centralia
Agricultural College as the
guest speaker.
His topic was "Diseases of
Poultry", and was very in-
teresting and informative.
The question and answer
period was excellent.
Cliff Pepper made the
introduction and Geo. TiemaW>''`:
thanked the speaker on behalf
of the Association.
The book "Exhibiting
Poultry For Pleasure and
Profit" by Loyl Stromberg
was a draw prize and was
won by Geo. Tieman. The
draw netted the Club $11.25.
The attendance draw was
won by Bert Mills but as Bert
was not able to be there, $4.00
will be drawn for in May.
Cliff Pepper will be guest
speaker in May and his topic
