L. Fair On June 20th, the Ontario Junior Farmers came into Ed- inburgh from the various Scot- tish farm homes, where they had been visiting for the past two weeks, to attend the Royal + Highland Show. The first of the Royal High- land Shows was held in Edin- burgh in 1822, and with few exceptions; and these were mainly during the war years; the Highland was held annual- ly at different centres through- out Scotland over a period of 137 years. In 1958, the Royal Highland and Agricultural So- ciety purchased the Estate of Ingliston about seven miles northwest of Edinburgh as a permanent Show 'Site. Since the property was purchased nine years ago, many improve- ments have been made to the grounds. -- Several permanent 'have been erected and much paving of roadways done. The Scottish Young Farmers. have been given a permanent site for their activi- ties, and they made a start this year on the construction of their Pavilion, they expect to complete it over the next four or five yaers as money becomes available. The Scottish Junior Farmer . Clubs had some splendid exhi- bits in their pavilion this year, they also turned out in large numbers to compete in the live- stock judging, eep_. shearing and poultry ti{ussing competi- tions. "4 day of the Show. The admis- sion fee to the grounds is the largest the first day, $3.00 a person, with the price of ad- mission being reduced each suc- ceeding day. There were several hundred high quality entries in the various classes of livestock. Unfortunately there was con- siderable rain on all four days of the Show, and this made the work of the Directors, Exhibit- ors and Judges very difficult. Despite the rain most of the events were carried out on schedule. ' One of the highlights of the Show for our Canadian group was the visit of Prnicess Mar- garet Rose. After her visit to the Overseas Pavilion where she met and talked to a num- ber of overseas visitors, she went to the Grandstand and presented a number of trophies to the winners. We had the pleasure of visit- ing the three major Agricul- tual Shows in Great Britain,-- the Rayol Ulster Balmoral Show in - Belfast, the -- Royal 'Highland Show, Edinburgh, and the Royal England Show at Stoneleigh Abbey, near Coven- try. All three events are strictly Agricultural with no midway to distract one's atten- | exhibits. All| toin from the three Agricultural Societies sell memberships in advance. The Royal Highland had 14,200 paid-up members this year. The membership fee is 2 pounds sterling or approximately $6.00 Canadian, Because of the rain this year the attendance was down with a corresponding drop in receipts; having such a large paid-up membership was a distinct advantage "this year. The highlight for me at the Royal England Show was the livestock parade in the big ring in front of the grandstand. There were over 600 cattle-- Dairy, Beef and. Dual Purpose representing 21 different breeds, in the ring at one time. They were all prize winners and Champions in their various classes. The City of Edinburgh has many places of historical in- terest, we visited as many as time would allow. Our first visit was to Edinburgh Castle. All of Edinburgh's history seems to be rooted in the Cas- tle, the orgins of which go back to the Bronze age. St. Mar- garet's Chapel, the oldest ex- isting building within the Cas- tle, was founded in the 11th Century and is the oldest build- ing -in the City. Also within the Castle is the Scottish War Memorial, the united services museum for those interested in Armour, and the Great Hall is also worth a visit. In the Crown Chamber are kept the Scottish Regalia, or the Honours of Scotland, From the Castle; the Royal Mile stretches down to Holy- rood. This is one of the oldest thoroughfares in the world and 'has many points of interest. On the left after leaving the Castle esplanade, one comes to the Outlook Tower from which a panaramic view of the City may be had. A little farther on. is Brodie's Close where in the 18th. Century lived Deacon Brodie, by day a respected City Father and by night a daring burglar. The story goes that Brodie's life gave R. L. Steven- son inspiration for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.. After the Castle, the Royal Mile is dominated by St. Giles Cathedral, founded about 1120 on the site of an earlier church. Within the four walls are:the graves and monuments of many famous Scots. Regular services "are held in St. Giles. Southeast _ Our visit was on a Saturday morning, and preparations were being made for two weddings in the afternoon. At the end of the Royal Mile is 'Holyrood Abbey and the Palace of Holyrood. Holyrood Abbey was burned in 1544 and is still a ruin. The Palace, which is close to the old Abbey, .is the residence of Her Majesty when" visiting Scotland. It is on the spacious lawns at Holy- rood that Queen Elizabeth holds her annual Garden Party. Our Canadian group of Junior Far- mers was very pleased to re- ceive an invitation and to at- tend the Queen's Garden Party at Holyrood on June 29th. The weather was bright and warm; and ideal day for this event. On leaving Edinburgh we went north over the new Forth Road Bridge. The Bridge forms-a vital road link between Scotland and the North. The centre span is 3,300 feet long. The total length is 1% miles and is the longest suspension bridge in Europe. Our Scottish friends were very proud of their new bridge, and rightly so. On our way north, we went through many miles of excel- lent farming country particu- larly in County Perth. After going through Blairgowrie, Spittle of Glenshee, and the Devil's Elbow, we stopped for a couple of hours at Balmoral Castles" Workmen were busy painting and repairing in an- ticipation of the Royal Family's visit in August. The Castle is surrounded by spacious well kept lawns; farther back is vir- gin forest. workmen's cottages almost hidden in the woods, the Castle is "isolated.

He return- ed to the home farm near Me- Duff and with his father they operate a large 400 acre farm. Each year they grow 200 acres of barley and 30 acres of pota- toes, mostly as cash crops; they also grow 20 acres of tur- nips for feed. When we were there they had' 125 steers on pasture, and 1100 sheep and lambs. John and Eileen wished to be remembered to their many friends in Ontario. We spent a short time in North Wales with our. head- quarters at Denbeigh. A high- light of our visit was a drive over the Denbeigh Moors, then around Mount Snowden to the old Castle at Caernarvon. It will likely be at Caernarvon Castle in-the not" too distant future that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth will officially bestow the Title, Prince of Wales, on Prince Charles. ~ On our way south from Den- beigh we spent some time at Coventry, Stratford upon Avon and Warwick, then on to Ox- ford for a look. around that University City; then south to Stonehenge and Winchester. We made Winchester our head- quarters. for three days. Mrs. Mary Willets, County Organ- izer for the English Young Farmeys, arranged some inter- esting farm tours for us. We returned to London by way of Windsor, and spent several tle. Our Junior Farmers came into London from their various farm homes on July 18th, and we left for home on July 20th from Liverpool on the Empress of Canada. The weather co- operated ,and we had a smooth crossing arriving in Montreal on July 27th. The Ontario Junior exchange visit was an educa- tional and enjoyable one this year. It is a trip that each and every Junior Farmer should strive to attain, See The New UNDERWOOD PORT PERRY STAR Notice of Application The Ontario Municipal Board by Corporation of The TOWNSHIP OF CARTWRIGHT FOR APPROVAL OF A BY-LAW TO REGULATE LAND USE passed pursuant to Section 30 of the Planning Act. - TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the: Township of Cartwright intends to apply to the Ontario Muni- cipal Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 30 of the Planning Act for approval of By-Law #1137 passed on the 9th day of Sept., 1966, being Area By-Law #1124. a By-Law to amend Restricted .
