Recreation
Meeting
Colborne Township
Recreation meeting was
held in the Colborne
Township Hall Monday even-
ing, March 9. While the at-
tendance was very slim.
those present gave special
attention to sports and
recreation for Colborne and
area for this year.
President, Leonard
Fisher, opened the meeting
and the secretary; Mrs. Reg
(Helen) Riehl read the
minutes of the last meeting.
The President then gave
special attention to the first
item on the agenda which
was "Softball for Colborne
Township • this summer.
For the past number of
years, many boys and girls
in Colborne have enjoyed the
sport of softball and the
teams run in ages from 8-10
years, 11-13 years and 1417
years. The main problem is
g
that • someone : is' needed to.
take charge and organize the
sport. Coaches are also need-
ed.
While several people have
already consented to help in
this sport this summer, more
coaches_ -are_ -r-equired- -and_
more extra help is needed as
taking charge of approx-
imately 100 boys and girls re-
quires effort on the part of
many. '
If you are willing to help in
softball and have not been
approached, please contact
Leonard Fisher at 524-8034 or
William Vanstone at 5247743
within the next week or two.
You are needed!
Swimming classes will be
on the schedule again this
year. Mrs. Helen Fisher has
consented to arrange the
schedule but would ap-
preciate a helper to receive
messages in this sport that
may come from any of the
participants and sometimes
other matters that have to be
attended to. Are your
children going to be taking
swimming? Will you help?
Please phone Mrs. Fisher at
524-6331.
Due to the February thaw,
the Benmiller Inn fish 'pond,
to be used for a skating rink
for the public, did not
materialize but a special
thank you was voiced to the
management of the Ben -
miller Inn for their coopera-
tion and. to all who helped in
any way to try and get this
going. It is hoped that this
venture will be more suc-
cessful next year.
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Fisher and Mr. and Mrs. Reg
Riehl have been in charge of
the euchre card parties held
in Colborne Township Hall
the second and fourth
Thursdays of the month dur-
ing the winter months. These
have been very well attend-
ed and all reported an eager
crowd which hope these par-
ties will continue for some
time.
Bridge classes for begin-
ners and intermediates
started early this year and
are thoroughly enjoyed by
those participating and will
terminate after the re-
quired number of lessons.
Business being concluded,
the meeting adjourned and
the next meeting will be
Wednesday, April 15 in Col-

Comment
In reading the Signal -Star
editorials a few weeks ago, I
found the article, "A little
restraint please, by D.S.;
-very- interesting and how
true. If everyone practised a
little restraint as suggested,
what a help to Canada. Let
us all try.

which the members joined in
singing the U.C.W. marching
song.

thians,, Chapter 12.,

windows ',installed in the

the church preservation and
energy saving.

Vacationing on the farm?
Vacationers can choose
from more than 30 vacation
farms across Ontario . this
summer including six new
farms in eastern Ontario.
"This is an increase of
nine farmsover last year,"
says Sharon van. Son, of the
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
agricultural manpower ser-
vices. "We're expecting a
few more farms before the
summer begins."
Although most members
of the Ontario Vacation
Farm Association are
located in southern Ontario,
vacationers can also choose
holiday packages in nor-
thern and eastern Ontario.
One of the new eastern On-
tario vacation farms is an
eight hectare (200 acre) mix-
ed farm. near Vankleek Hill,
just one hour from Montreal.
This farm offers accom-
modation in an 1834 stone
farm house and activities
such as horseback riding and
swimming for families and
adults.
Three new eastern Ontario
vacation farms are located
in the Plantagenet area, 40
kilometres (25 miles) east of
Ottawa. One century farm
caters to adults and families
looking for the tranquility of
a small mixed farm. For ac-
tive adults and families, a
large dairy operation offers
canoeing and fishing on a
nearby river. Bilingual hosts
also provide fine home -
cooked, French Canadian
meals.
Trailer campers are
welcomed at a second Plan-
tagenet area dairy farm and
electrical hookups are pro-
vided. Activities such as
barbecues are part of the
package offered by the
French and English speak-
ing -hosts.
Another new vacation -
farm is on Amherst Island,
the most westerly of the
Thousand Islands overlook-
ing the Bay of Quinte. This
farm caters to adults only.
It's a 15 -minute ferry ride
from Millhaven, just west of
Kingston. Visitors are ac-
commodated in a 150 -year-
old stone farm house and
served gourmet cooking.
-Gourmet cooking is also a
special feature at the new
vacation farm near
Brockville. Swiss and
French Canadian hosts also
offer natural foods and pic-
nics on a 100 hectare (250 -
acre) dairy farm.

The grants cover 40 per
cent of the capital costs of
building the stills, to a
maximum of $15,000 for
individuals and $20,000 for
groups of farmers.
Brubaker says, "Farmers
pity
must be willing to' show and
explain their equipment and
processes to other farmers
so that information and
expertise gained on these
demonstration units can be
distributed as widely as
possible." The units will also
be Monitored to determine
costs and benefits, and
energy inputs and outputs.
One of the participating
farmers is a dairyman in
Oxford and the other a beef
and pork producer in Huron.
