Black Creek Pioneer Village, at Jane Street and Steeles Av- enue. answers that question by presenting visitors with the sounds. sights and smells of a living pioneer community. The village is operated by the Metro Conservation Authority. During weekends in May, staff of the village put on spec- ial weekend events such as sheep shearing, wool dyeing. candle dipping. plowing. harrowing‘ and seeding to show how thel pioneers carried out these‘ everyday living tasks. The sheep at Black Creek are a cross-breed of Corriedale and Suffolk animals and have been bred to give an all purpose fleece which is easy to spin into yarn. L ulu: Jul u. The warm weather of May is the best time for shearing Sheep and the old-fashioned method of using hand shears is shown at Black Creek. Shearing takes about 20 minutes, and the fleece is removed in one piece by starting to cut around the neck, and then working down the centre of the animal’s stomach and back to the top of its back. The pioneer housewife would sort the wool of the fleece ac- cording to quality, as some parts of the fleece would be better suited for spinning fine wool than others. Wool was dyed by the pion- eers either as skeins or as a fleece, but the first step was always to remove as much as PINDER BROS. lTD.

Red came from each ineal. a small beetle-like insect from Mexico, while blue came from indigo. After being treated in the mordant bath, the fleece was put into the dye bath and heat ed over a period of time, de- pending on the color desired. When the proper color was reached. the wool was then washed repeatedly in water un- witer 1‘émained clear, indicating that the dye was fixed in the wool. If a new color was being tried, or a new material. the pioneers often dyed a small piece which was then exposed to the elements for a couple of weeks to indicate how well it would stand up to normal usage over a period of time. Making candles from beef ori sheep tallow is another pioneer task which is demonstrated at Black Creek Pioneer Village. The tallow was obtained by ren- dering fat by heating and squeezing it until a clear tallow was obtained. Often houseâ€" wives would add alum to the ‘tallow at this point to make it harder and thus more suitable for candle making. Boiling water was poured into ‘ the tallow which had been ‘ melted over a fire, to keep it liquid, eliminating the need to reheat it as it began to thicken during the candle-making pro- cess. About five wicks would be tied to each wooden rod about the thickness of a pencil, and several of these rods would be dipped in turn. into the tallow. ‘ A thin layer of tallow built up on the wicks each time they were dipped into the liquid and the tallow was allowed to cool and harden before being dipped again. It required about 30 dippings to make a candle. When finished, the candles were allowed to dry thoroughly and then stored in a cool, dry‘ place to harden, which meant they lasted longer when finally used by the pioneer family. Guaranteed 20 years.

In 1867 agricul- ture was local or regional in scope. Produce was largely consumed in the area it was produced. The primary juris- diction for agriculture was therefore placed in the hands ‘of the provincial governments. ‘Today agriculture is not local in scope â€"- it is an international business oriented towards ex- port markets But the constitu- tion still gives the predomin- ant role in agriculture to the provinces â€" and in the 1930’s the courts struck down as un- constitutional the Conservative government‘s attempt to imple- ment national marketing agen- . clcs. But agriculture is a national business. What is done in one area can ‘have‘ disasterous res‘ ults for producers in another area. WWllat is the alternative to national agricultural policiesl“ It is that each province will develop protective policies to the interests of the farmers in their area. Often these policies will involve regulations and re- strictions against products com- ing from beyond their provin- cial boundaries. In effect Can~ ada would cease to be a free market and would be crossed by trade barriers designed to protect provincial agricultural ilnterests regardless of the cost to other Canadian producers. Such a forcast is no remote‘ theoretical possibility. It has already happened in what is called the chicken-egg war. And our onion farmers in the H01- land Marsh have seen the act- ivities of their Onion Market- ing Board undermined by the absence of co-opevative and co- ordinated policies on the part of Quebec onion farmers.

FR: M Sz-ED S'EEL lasts and My Stand On Bill 167 John Roberts MP mih’is’ hi my view, is what Bill C-176 provides. Bill C-176 does not ram ag- encies down the throat of far- mers whether they want it or not. It is permissive or enabling legislation which permits, but does not enforce. farmers to have a controlling agency if they want it. This legislation provides an umbrella in res- ‘erve, ready to assist producers by establishing a national farm agency if they believe the‘ need is there. This seems to be the view of the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture and the Canadian Federation of Agri- culture for they have both sup- ported_the proposal. 'VNo doubtâ€"seine farm groups will want to use the option op- ened to them. There aye others â€"- like the beef producers -â€" who will want to "opt out." The beef producers believe they were assured by Agricul- ture Minister Bud Olson that they would be excluded from the legislation. Mr. Olson says that while he is prepared to accept exclusion of the beef producers the agricultural com- mittee on a free vote â€" with Conservatives and Liberals on both sides of the question â€"â€" recommended the legislation give the same opportunities for beef producers to opt in as for other agricultural producers. Mr. Olson feels he should fol- low the commfittee’s direction. Some farmers fear that the government will not observe the majority support requIre- ment. The legislation says that the government, or nauonal council, must assure itself that a majority of producers are! favorable. The federal governâ€"] ment cannot force a province‘ to hold a ballot. but the legis-~ labion provides for the federal government to ask a province to have such a vote made. I am confident that these demo- cratic provisions will be ob- served -and the legislation will only be invoked when the maj‘ ority of producers believe it is in their interest. The legislation explicitly provides that a majority of the members of the agency must be active primary producers of the product which is to be covered by the agency: ‘ 41“]. LL:- UJ uu, .- y..-.,.

Appeal Court Reduces Life Prison Sentence In Richvale Incident The life sentence handed out in 1962 for a Richvale at- tack on a six-year-old girl has been reduced to 12 years or less by the Appeal Court. Peter Colin Jones was con- victed of attacking the girl with dntent to rape her. r_1_.. Lllhbllu vv - .. According to Mr. Justice Johni Arnup life imprisonment was too severe. Until 1962, Jones‘ criminal activity involved break- ing and entering. he said. A...- nub “We do know that the offense for which he has now been con- victed was carried out with‘ violence and cruelty, and was probably accompanied by rape. Indeed. counsel on the appeal submitted it was rape, in sup- port of the argument that cor- roboration should be required. YORK SIMCOE "In several recent cases of rape accompanied by violence and viciousness, this court has approved or imposed sentences ranging from six to 10 years" Mr Justice Amup said. The six-year-old girl who laid the complaint identified Jones in a lineup as the man who dragged her to his car on Weld- rick Road. She had been walk- ing along when the car stopped, the man forced her in, banged her head on the door until she ‘was stunned. When she gainedl consciousness she was thrmvni limo a ditch. She said "I am al-‘ most positive that the attacker‘ Lhad sexual intercourse with‘ Jones’ defence was that he was home. but he was convicted for assault with intent to rape and sentenced to life. by Judg Walter Martin. v The appeal reduced the charge and the Parole Board has ample powers to release him on parole according to Mr. Jus- tice Mackay.
