Smith was in charge and prayer was of- fered by the Rev. Ross Mac- Donald of Knox Presbyterian. The Rev. E. 3. B. Harrison gave an impressive address, .... basing his remarks on St, Mat- thew, chapter 1, verse 23, "Be- hold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which, being interpreted 'is, "God with us." The speaker asked: "What is real prayer? What is real .con, Version and .what does' it do to our lives?" He pointed out that if the shepherds had had fear, doubt or disbelief they never would have found the Lord Jesus, 0.141, that just as their lives were changed so are ours today when we find Jesus' Christ. 0 50th Anniversary For Couple In Saskatchewan (Bayfield Correspondent) Congratulations and best wishes for many more happy Years together go to Mr. and Mrs. Herbert H.

They were married at the home of 'the bride's mother, Bayfield, in the presence of their immediate relatives, at. noun on December 27, 1911, by the Rev. Alfred Macfarlane. Festive tights et ,Up At. ayfield Village (Barfield Correspondent) History was made. in Bayfield when coloured Christmas lights were strung across the main street 'for the first time. It was done by the village trustees in. addition to the coloured ]lights on the Christmas. tree on Clan Gregor Square,. and was. a pet project of trustee Fred Arkell. First a string was put across the street from Adam Flowers, it looked so solitary that .anoth- pr was strung opposite 'Irloyd Makins, and a third between Hoyeyre and Utter's sterns, Alf. F. Scotchmer did' the work, as- sisted by Adam Flowers and Jack Hammond. With carols being broadcast from Ferguson's store .and: Arn- Old Makins' home, the villagers were quite proud of the spirit of Christmas here this year, BUT . . . The oream of the pleasure was scirrimecl off on Monday when Fred' P., Arkell went to 'take down the Christ- mas tree lights in the square. Vandals had been at work. There wasn't a bulb left and the strings and aockets had en all torn apart. Only one damaged string remained. 0 Trinity Club Set Aside $15 For New Prayer Books (Bayfield Correspondent) The Trinity Club met at the home of Mrs. R. H. F. Gaird- ner on Tuesday, January 2 'for the first meeting of the New Year. The retiring president, Mrs. W. E. G. Bellchamber, called the meeting to order and after the pledge, Mrs. Ross Middle- ton led in prayer. This was followed by the Scripture read'- ing, John 14, by Mrs. R. S. Roddick. The secretary's and treasur- er's reports were adopted. At the previous meeting, there had been some discussion in regard to buying copies of the New Anglican' Prayer Book for the church. This was final- ized by having $75 set aside for this purpose. it was also decided that the Children's Bible, shown by Mrs. John Land at the December meeting should be purchased' for Mrs. Gairdner's Sunday School class. The officers for 1962 were then ;installed by Mrs. •Gaird- ner in the albsence of Rev. E. J. B. Harrison. After the business ended, carol singing, led by Mrs. M. Carrie and Mrs. J. B. Higgins with Mrs. R. S. Roddick as pianist, was much enjoyed. Mrs. John Land and Mrs. Spencer Ervine assisted the hostess in serving a delicious lunch. 0 Eat Potatoes? Might as Well, Not Fattening Are Potatoes Fattening? The answer is' "No!", accord- ing to the food and nutrition department of Macdonald Insti- tute, Guelph. One four-ounce potato provides no more calor- ies than one slice of enriched white bread. It contains more iron, more thiamine, and is much more' satisfying than bread, contributes a significant am- ount of Vitamin C to the diet and is a relatively cheap source of food energy. For these reas- ons, potatoes should be served every day. If you wish to diet, cut down on the amount of po- tatoes but do not omit them entirely. Try cooking potatoes in their jackets instead of peeling them. This way you save valuable food nutrients, such as iron, which lie just beneath the skin. It takes only a second to slip the skins off boiled potatoes before mashing and' serving them. Serve potatoes whole or, in pieces frequently (mashing re- duces the Vitamin C content) and sprinkle with chopped par- sley or chives for variety, When you plan to serve bak- ed 'potatoes, pick out smooth, medium sized ones so that they will bake in the same length of time, Scrub well and rub the skin with melted fat or salad oil. (Do not prick,) Then pop them into a pre-heated ov- en of 425 degrees F. for about 40 minutes before serving. When they are soft to squeeze, prick at once to let out the steam. For variety, cut a slit or cress in the :top of each po- tato, before serving, Pinch gently to make the potato puff up, and top with butter or On- tario cheddar cheese, Serve im- mediately . Fora change, baked' potat- oes may be 'stuffed. Just cut a slide from one side, scoop out the inside, 'and mash thorough- ly. Add hot milk, a little butter, and Salt and pepper to taste. Beat Until light and fluffy Then pile the mixture lightly back into the Shells. Bake in a 425 degree F. oven until brown,, Sette at ante. To make • special staling for baked potatoes, add some leftover' peas or chopped, cooked meat or .;bacon. 'kotir faintly will be delighted with that extra flaVe data. Bayfield Obituary Miss M. H. Gerrie (Bayfield Correspondent) The death of Miss Margaret Helen Gerrie, B.A., occurred suddenly at her home on Countess Street in Durham on Friday, December 8, 1961.

MEADOWS, Sr. Conservation Officer) It has again come to our at- tention, 'that rabies is evident in many areas in the Huron District. Skunk, raccoon and fox are the common carriers of this dreaded disease at the present time. We have heard of three recent reports where rabid skunks were found' in barns fil- led with cattle, horses and pigs etc. Many months will likely pass before some of the 'animals show symptoms of being rabid. On' the other hand the out- break may occur much sooner in some areas. We cannnot over-emphasize the importance of warning children or even adults not to touch any 'animal acting strang- ely. If contact does occur by hand, wash repeatedly with soap and call your doctor. Forty-four new golf courses opened in 'Canada in 1961; to build a first class' course costs 'an average of $18,000 a hole. National Sugar-.Beet Policy Mr. Cardiff stated one of the latest accomplishments of the Federal Government was to set up a national sugar-beet policy which provides a support program for the dominion beet sugar industry, tied to the value of imported raw sugar. This new program retains the deficiency payment system and offers protection to the industry against any drop in world raw sugar prices. The government for the 1962 support year, has established a prescribed price or value of $4.50 per hundred for imported raw sugar. if the average declared value of im- ported raw sugar during the crop year is less than $4.50' per hundred, then a deficiency pay- ment will be made. Agricultural Stabilization Act This act was tailored for the needs of farmers' and it guar- antees a floor price. It helped remove a lot of financial risk that usually 'accompanies farm- ers. This act came into effect early in 1958 and uri until March 31, 1961, has cost the government $126,119,153. The old agriculture price support passed by the former govern- ment in 1946, paid out $100,- 073,260 in a matter of 12 years. In other words farmers have received 526,000,000 mare in three years' under the Agricul- ture Stabilization Act than was paid out in 12 years under the old Agriculture Price Support Act. Thi sant also provides for an advisory committee compos- ed' of farmers and representa- tives' of farm :groups to advise the government as to what commodities should be support- ed, at what level, and by what means. Farm Credit Corporation This replaces what used to be known as the Farm Loan Act. This act also provides for increase their lending activity. In Huron County alone, one million dollars has been bor- rowed through the Farm Credit Corporation. The Farm Credit Act pro- vides two types of long term mortgage loans to bona-fide and competent farmers who are in actual need of assistance to set up' economic family farm units. The income from which is largely derived from crops grown on such units' and mar- keted either direptly or through livestock. The first plan is a standard mortgage loan secured by farm land, and may be' made to per- sons whose principal occupation is farming. Individual loans may not exceed 75 percent of the value of the farm land tak- Page 8,--Clinton News-Record--Thurs., Jan. 11, )962 Window on the UN Stanley Burke, CBC's permanent correspon- dent at United Nations headquarters in New York, report on the week's activities of the world organ- ization Saturdays on the CBC television network.
