r Returns from Barbados in Time for Birthday Seclion Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 23,1983 11 Seven Beavers Inducted at St. Stephen's School YELVERTON (Intended for last week) Deepest sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Peter Connolly of Bobcaygeon and their daughters Jane and Julie in the sudden passing of their eldest daughter and sister, Debbie in Toronto recently. A memorial service was held in Lindsay on Friday, Nov. 11th at the Bethel Missionary Church with interment in Bobcaygeon later in the day. Debbie was a personable girl, 29 years of age, a keen sense of humour and will be sadly missed by her family, her parents Peter and Helen Connolly, her grandmother Mrs. Austin of Lindsay and her two sisters Jane Malcolm of Omemee and Julia Wyatt of New York, U.S.A. Mrs. Eileen Malcolm was honoured on her birthday, Nov. 10th with a dinner followed by a show in Toronto this week. Howard and Eileen returned from the Barbados last Saturday. Howard and Adrian Vos, representing the Ontario Pork Producers, were present there to meet with representatives of the Caribbean islands to discuss the potential of exporting swine breeding stock to those countries. Currently, Barbados produces around 14,000 hogs per annum, which to put into perspective is less hogs than Ontario sells through their marketing agency before breakfast on an average Monday morning. The meeting was called under the P.E.M.D. government program "Program for Exporting and Marketing Development." Some interesting facts about Barbados that Howard and Eileen related are as follows. The Island is roughly 14 by 24 miles in width and length, has a population of approx. 250,000 people or 1200 -1300 people per sq. mile compared with Canada's 4 - 5 people per sq. mile. Barbados is one of the most prosperous of the Islands with a good system of schools and justice set up by the British before Babados became independent. The automobiles were almost exclusively imported from Japan. Red meats - beef and mutton are imported from Australia and New Zealand and bacon and pork from U.S. Eggs are selling for around $2.70 cents a dozen and gas at 95 cents a litre. Incumbent to the area is a unique breed of sheep - the "black bellied sheep" which produces hair like a goat not wool and which ■sound SENSATION Hitachi invitas you to come in today.

Rather unusual animals and not particularly attractive being rather rangy and skinny. The long sandy beaches are a tourists' paradise, extremely warm at this time of year and no threat of security for tourists present. Hotels are very good but quite expensive. The Barbadians are quite friendly in comparison with the native population in some other areas. Hope you find this overview half as interesting as I did. Howard leaves on Sunday morning for a trip to Haiti where U.S. and Canadians are involved in ridding the Island of the African Swine Fever and re-stocking the Island with healthy breeding stock.
