Happy Birthday Canada The 1979 celebrations mark-' lng Cahada's 112th birthday will be among the biggest in the country's history with events scheduled in 1,500 communities from coast to coast. That's 600 more than participated last year. The Canada Birthday festivities will be held from June 25 to July 1 (July 2 in Newfound- land). The theme this year, as in 1978, is "Canada, It's You and Me". Events across Canada are being sponsored through Festival Canada grants and are being organized by two voluntary organizations, the Council for Canadian Unity and the Canadian Folk Arts Council. Festival Canada is also sponsoring a National Capital Region programme in the Ottawa-Hul area. One of the major themes of the national programme is the "twinning" of cities, towns ËNCE &PATIO CENTRE * Commercial & Residential * Farm Gates & Fence * T-Bar * Barb Wire * Installations & Repairs 725-1721 Taunton E., ¼ mile E. of Ritson Rd. and municipalities from different provinces in Canada. The mayors of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and Kingston, Ontario will each visit the other city during Canada's Birthday week. Inmates from penitentiaries in the two cities will compete by telex in chess tournaments and weight- lifting contests. A barber-shop quartet in Halifax will join with a barber-shop quartet in Winnipeg for a sing-along. There will be a Grand Tyme folk festival in Grand Harbour, Newfoundland, and the city of London, Ontario will feature children's activities in recognition of the International Year of the Child. Lethbridge, Alberta will hold St. Jean Baptiste Day celebrations, and most provinces are sponsoring variety programs and film festivals. Events in the National Capital Region will peak July 1, with a Carillon concert from the Peace Tower starting things off in the morning. A band concert on Parliament Hill will be followed, at noon, by a 21 gun salute frorn Nepean Point. One of the main attractions will be a parade through the streets of Ottawa and Hl1. It will be followed by picnics and parties featuring folk arts, dancers and sports tourna- ments at Majors Hill Park and Park Jacques Cartier. The Snowbbird aerial team will also give demonstrations over the Ottawa River. But the main event of the day will be a musical variety show on Parliament Hill in the evening. The show will feature Canadian celebrities and will be seen by millions of Cana- dians via the CBC's English and French networks. The expected crowd of over 100,000 people on the Hill will then be treated to a spectacular fire- works display, followed by a street dance through Ottawa- Hull streets. Other activities for the week will include ecumenical church services on June 25, a playday for 10,000 children at an Ottawa park and a canoe pageant at Victoria Island.

HAMPTON On Tuesday, May 29, the Hampton W.I. held its meeting in the C.E. Wing and opened in the usual manner by singing the Ode and repeating the Mary Stewart Collect in unison. The Roll Call - Display something you have made - brought out a wonderful display of handwork the members had made. The Minutes were read and approved. A letter was read from Hon. Allan Lawrence MP. expressing his pleasure in receiving the Institute's letter in which a suggestion was made that "O Canada" be adopted as our National Anthem. The Strawberry Tea was discussed and it was decided that the members each bring a Box Lunch to the June 18th meeting at 12:30 p.m. After lunch we will decorate for the Strawberry Tea. Mrs. Kantor took the chair for the South Group and called on Ross Metealf to introduce our entertainment for the afternoon. Ross brought for- ward Sammy, a student from the Retarded School at Courtice. Sammy is quite talented at playing the drums - accompanied on the piano by Ross. This music was enjoyed by all. Our guest speaker was Mr. Jim Cryderman, a teacher froni the Retarded School, who had brought pictures of the school, staff and pupils to show us. There are 35 - 36 pupils in this school and the staff are to be commented on their work. Mrs. Wakely thanked our guests and gave Mr. Cryder- man a gift for the sehool from Hampton W.I. The Motto - The grand essentials of happiness are something to do, some- thing to love and something to hope for - was given by Mrs. Caverly, who read a piece "Flowers in the Garden" which well illustrated the motto. Mrs. Bryant gave a report on the Conference at Waterloo. By all accounts it was an enjoyable affair. We closed the meeting by repeating the Lord's Prayer in unison. A cup of tea and sandwiches and pickles were served by the South Group lunch committee and the members were able to look at the lovely quilts and other handmade articles on display. Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 13, 1979 5 Local Residents Open Firewood Business on Highway 57 You might describe Rae Burns and Peter Louws as local lumberjacks. The two Bowmanville area residents have a lot on Highway 57 just north of Highway Two for selling firewood and they harvest the wood on a 1600 acre woodlot north of here. The largest logs are used for lumber but the smaller ones are shipped south for stoves and fireplaces. Here, they load a truck with wood from about 200 cords that are stacked in their lot on Highway 57. Oak, birch, maple, beech and a mikture of soft and hard woods are available. Customers may buy their wood by the truckload or by the trunk load-and deliveries can be arranged. I Ddrham Arcutural News By Murray D. Emke, Ass't. Agricultural Representative ALFALFA WEEVIL 'ALERT' The high texhperatures during the past days, have rapidly advanced the alfalfa weevil's development. Eggs have begun to hatch and larvae will likely be numerous during the next few days. It looks like the first two weeks in June will be the most critical, and farmers should check their fields. Control measures may be necessary unless you get right at the hay. At any rate, spot checks in your alfalfa fields are urged. AGRICREW '79 The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food is spon- soring a new program in this area for the summer called "Agrierew". Agricrew was a pilot project in western Ont- ario last year, and due to its success, it bas been offered to all areas in the province. An Agricrew consists of four crew members and one foreman. All of whom have had previous farm experience. They can be hired on a day-to-day basis by anyone engaged in farming when their help requirements are at a peak. Agricrew supplies its own transporta- tion to and from the farm, their own lunches and very little paper work for the farmer, when he is usually too busy to be concerned with such time consuming incon- veniences. Agrierew, also, exposes the great potential of outh labour to farmers. Agricrews are very versatile and have been known to tackle a wide variety of jobs success- fully: ie. fencing, haying, painting and many more. Agrierew '79 will operate from June 25, 1979 till August 17; 1979 this year. Each farmer may have an Agrierew for a maximum of five days during the program. The agricrew will work on a farm for eight hours a day with a maximum of 10 hours per day. The cost of the program for the farmer is $90 per day of which $15 will be refunded to the farmer at the end of the program by the Ontario Government. Inte- rested farmers should contact the the local Agricultural Office or the Program Coordi- nator, Tim O'Connor several THE SI0N OF A GOOD BUSINESS NEIGHBOR THE SIGN OF A MERCHANT WHO CARES ABOUT PEOPLE This emblem identifies the civic-minded businessmen who sponsor «o. n the community.

HOLSTEIN CLASSIFIER TO VISIT The Classifier for the Hol- stein-Friesian breed will be working in Durham County starting approximately June 20 to the 25, 1979. Most breeders know that thé classi- fication program is designed to be used as a breed improvement tool by the members of the Holstein Association. The Association hires knowledgeable men to visit herds and classify ani- mals. An attempt is made to have the herds in each county visited at a nine month interval. The cost is a basic herd visit fee of $15, plus, an animal fee of $3 for each animal classified. Fees are payable at time of Classifier's visit. In addition, major artifi- cial insemination units will pay for purebred or unidenti- fied NIP daughters of their unap proved bulls. Most breeders in this area deal with Eastern Breeders Unit in Kemptville and E.B.I. will pa the classification fee for ail daughters of unproven sires. Breeders will have received a posteard in the mail and this should be completed and mailed to the Head-Office of the Holstein-Friesian Associa- tion. Deadline for receipt of application for classification is June lth. Further informa- tion or questions that you wish answered, should be directed to Mr. Bill Tamblyn, R.R. 1, Orono, Secretary of the Holstein Club. HOME ECONOMICS FOOTNOTES By: Linda Caldwell, Home Economist ONTARIO STRAWBERRIES THEY'LL SOON BE HERE! June in Ontario is straw- berry time! And there's great news this year for strawberry lovers, say the food specialists at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. All forecast indi- cate that there will be a fine crop for both quality and quantity. Strawberries are grown mainly in the southern areas of the province, although strawberries do grow in other areas as well. The Haldimand- Norfolk, Niagara and Hamil- ton-Wentworth areas of the province produce the majority of Ontario's strawberries. Once harvested, most of the strawberries are sold for the fresh market. Of the fresh strawberries on the market, about 60 per cent are harvest- ed from pick-your-own farms in Ontario. The rest are sold in retail markets. Harvest time comes each year, depending on the weather. Some areas start to see strawberries as early as June 1. However, the majority begin to reach the market about the second week in June. This year, the peak is expected around June 18. Be ready for a real treat when Ontario's strawberries are available in your area. Keep it simple and enjoy the gorgeous red colour and juicy flavour of strawberries by themselves. For pienies or desserts, here's something special. Dip strawberries first in sour cream combined with a little grated lemon rind and lemon juice and then into brown sugar. It's hard to imagine anything tastier!
