Clinton News-Record, 1978-08-10, Page 2PAGE 2--CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1978 by peggy Bibb When you read this week's column (if you do), It will no doubt ap- pear quite normal to the eye (if not to the mind) - that's because our typesetters in Goderich can give it the finished look, but content -wise it's my responsibility. So if the train of thought is somewhat erratic it's because, while working on it this Tuesday evening, I've been watching the forward and back somersaults, layouts, vaults and whatever, of the ladies' gymnastics from the Commonwealth Games. Anyway, had better do a landing and get on with the nitty-gritty of Town Talk. +++ Visitors to Clinton last week were Lynda and Nancy Black, young daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Gerry Black (nee Mary Macaulay) of Georgetown, Ontario, who were staying with their grandparents, Clara and Royce Macaulay of Rattenbury Street West. 4-++ August holiday guests of Mrs. Lucien Bellefleur, Whitehead Street were Mr, and Mrs. Lester Veno of Toronto. The Iadies motored to Stratford Friday night to take in "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at the Festival, which both thoroughly enjoyed. Saturday found them again in Stratford at the matinee per- formance of "As You Like It". Following Mr. Veno's return to Toronto, the ladies stayed with Mrs. Bellefleur's daughter, Ileana, who is manager of the Shoprite Catalogue Store in Stratford. Sunday was spent at the "Flea Market" in Shakespeare Land where the latter has a table for the season. Also enjoyed was a "Swan" ride. Ileana, now on holidays, plans to divide her time between Toronto and Peterborough visiting her friend, Mrs. Robert Mitchell, well known in Clinton as the former Beth Allan. Then it will be on to Yarker to see her uncle, Fred Hill, at present recovering from a serious heart attack early in July. + + + This seems to be the summer for return visits from former RCAF members. Last week Mr. and Mrs. William J. Jones of Belper, Der- byshire, England were in town and called at the News -Record office. .They were stationed here in 1947-48 and also had the distinction of having the First New Year's Baby born in the Clinton Hospital in 1948 - delivered by Dr. Addison. Accompanying Mr. and Mrs. Jones were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gibson of David Street, Dorchester, Ontario who were also with the RCAF at the Clinton base in 1947. +++ Two local residents, Robyn Theedom and Barbara Guse attended the U.S. National Championship Arabian Horse Show last week in Louisville Kentucky. The purpose of the trip was twofold for Robyn. One was to see over 1,500 of the world's finest Arabians competing for National honours; and the other was to make arrangements for Robyn's two-year-old gelding "Syn -ac", who is eligible to compete in the 1979 show in New Mexico. Also attending from Huron County were Arabian owners from Exeter, Fordwich and Goderich. Visitors with the Jim Fitzgeralds . this past weekend were Michele and Wade Theobald and Mike and Cathy Gulka of London. Accompanying them was Cathy Gulka's cousin, Gina, from the island of Malta. + + + For Mrs. Audrey Varty of Bayfield a recent trip to Holland had an ex- ceptional highlight. That was a visit to Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, where each morning tons of beauty, in the form of cut. and boxed flowers, are_ auctioned off. Known as the United Aalsmeer Flower Auction it consists of huge covered auction halls were producers and buyers are brought together. Flowers are shipped to the U.S., Great Britian, the Scan- danavian countries, South Africa, Canada and most European coun- tries. Producers bring their wares directly.. into the buildings for unloading. and the auction begins at 7 a.m. each morning. The buyers use individual codeplates and bid by push button as the flowers are conveyed to the entrance of the bid- ding rooms under a large auction clock. , Visitors can observe the whole scene from the balconies which run the full length of the huge building. The floor below is covered with every variety of flower grown. Exotic varieties of or- chids move along among the humble begonias and daisies. Texture too as the velvet of roses and violets, the satin of waxy lilies and Persian carpet of Sweet William is in- terspersed with the smooth, liquid greens of box plants not yet in bloom. The News -Record is indebted to Mrs. Varty for the above well written description of her visit to the Aalsmeer Auction. Don't forget registration for Clinton's co-op nursery school will take place on" August 17 from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at. Wesley -Willis Church.

The new experiences in taste and texture are sure to please the whole family. Salad greens vary from leafy to iceberg to Boston lettuce, with_soft, green waxy leaves and to Romaine lettuce, with its elongated, upright head and dark green outer leaves. These two would be well complemented by the addition of curly endive (chicory). Escarole is a type of salad green with broad, deep green ruffled leaves on the outside and changing to yellow "in the centre. Other taste tempters include French endive with small, cream colored heads. Chinese cabbage has long tapered heads and a flavor somewhat like celery and cabbage combined.

A Conservation Authority is an in- dependent corporate xF organization established under the Conservation ,A S Authorities Act (1946) to conduct a comprehensive and co-ordinated program for the con- servation of the renewable resources within a watershed. The Mrs. Jace Livingstone jurisdiction of each (nee Dana Morgan.) Authority extends over graduated from the one or more watersheds.

If two-thirds of the representatives vote in favour, the minister asks for an order -in - council to establish an authority. All member municipalities are required to appoint a representative to the authority. All members sit on one or more advisory boards that deal with the various programs of the authority. These various boards make recom- mendations to the executive (chairman, vice-chairman, and heads of advisory boards). General day to day operations are conducted by authority staff. A resource manager is appointed to the authority by the provincial government to provide technical assistance, advice and co-ordinate the authority's programs, Further technical advice is 'offered by various government ministries. Administrative andd capital costs are shared between the municipality (through municipal levy) and the provincial government, The provincial government contributres grants of 50- 55 percent oj' the total budget. Supplementary grants of up to 30 percent may be given to Administration and Water and Related Land Management projects.

For some reason, people do not like to soil test. Indeed, over 3/4 of the crops in Huron County are planted without the benefit of this management tool. Each spring people tell us they know they should soil test, but don't. As far as we are concerned it is as important to have the right fertilizer for a certain field as it is to have the right lubricant for a motor or the right mineral for a livestock ration. - Every farm in Huron County can either in- .. crease their yeields or decrease their fertilizer bill by soil testing. This past spring we spent a lot Of time giving our fer- tilizer recommendations without the benefit of a soil test. These general recommendations are based on the experience of crop needs and a lot of guessing as to the soil's ability to supply nutrients. Since there was no soil test available, we treated all fields the ssam.e. Naturally, all these fields were not the same. These recom- mendations either decrease yields or in- crease crop costs. If we had soil tests, we could point out the areas or fields that needed different fertilizers. By using broadcast equip- ment, it is quite easy to apply different rates of fertilizer to a field and then use one fertilizer mix on all fields at planting. Now is a good time to soil test.,It is easy to find poor spots in the fields or areas that need special attention. It is also the can do, and by gosh, the type of job that anyone price is right..

After all of the excitement we had in the library last week, things are .pretty well back in order once more. The book sale last Thursday got a large response, but .there are still a few good buys left. These books will be left on display for purchasing one more week - so hurry down to the library to pick up some great, inexpensive reading material. Last Saturday it looked like the library was going to be an on location setting for a cooking show; but really it was the day of our . Cool Cooking Contest. We had five categories with many exciting looking entries which made our judges' task a ,difficult one. Anne Bornath was our winner in the appetizer category with her cherry soup entry, while Phillip Dykstra with his mar- shmallow & cream cheese salad, Suzanne Walker and her funny face 'salad and Ruth Ann Dykstra ' with her fruit salad were our winners in the Salad division. Next came the judging of drinks and our winning chefs were Wesley Delve for his orange Julius, Michael Holland for banana shake and Robert Grunewald for Robert's chocolate milkshake. The following children won prizes for their dessert entries Gwen Holland for Marshmallow parfaits, Christopher Lobb for cottage pudding and Michael Dykstra for grape futr-sicles, Our last and one of the most scrumptious categories was super snacks and winners in this division were Michael Dykstra with Oh Henry bars, Theresa Raithby for her rice krispie squares and Gwen Holland for her strawberry candy. I, would like to extend congratulation's to all winners and remind all of our other chefs that there's always next year. Also I would like to thank lour two judges Shelley McPhee from the Clinton News -Record : and William Partridge from the Huron County Public Library for helping us with our contest. Cook- books for all of our contestants will be ready to be picked up this Saturday. On Saturday at 1 the 8 to 13 year olds will meet for their regular craft time. This week we will be making sailboats from milk cartons, so if any of you can bring an empty, clean, one -quart milk container, do so. Also this Saturday, the smaller children will meet at 2;30 for their regular story hour. Next week, the library will look like a meeting place for hobos as" we have our Hobo Parade take place. This activity takes the place of our usual. Saturday programs, and all children are to dress in their oldest, patched=up clothing to make themselves "Hobos;' for the day.
