Success of a meeting held at
the Agricultural offices on
Tuesday night indicates that the
Huron County Beef
Improvement Association will
adopt a new system for market
and price information.

purchases, sales, conditions!, of
transactions and„
inventories would be renorded

tions machines the system called
Confax would produce weekly
reports and market, analysis and
mail them to-each'tiikribgr.
Graeme Heclle,y, ,pecretary
manager of the Ontario Beef
Improvement Association,
informed the group Tuesday
night through written
communication: "The potential
subscribers to this plan must
realize that this is the pilot
project in Ontario with Huron
County producers being the
guinea pigs."
If the plan is adopted, it will
be the first for Eastern Canada.
It appears that Huron County
was chosen because of the large
concentration of beef cattle
here. Huron County has 250

Information system
likely to be adopted
In the Book _Section of his
Antique Shop QI1 the Main
Street of 13ayfield, Don Lance
found an answer to the leadera
of the Women's Liberation
Movement, This little book
shows that there really isn't
anything new under the sun.
Josiah Allen on the Woman
Question is a satire written in
1914 when the women of the
United. States and the British
Empire were striving' for
Suffrage, These quotations are
from Chapter 1, In Which I
Resolve to Write a Book:
"There never wuz a better
woman or a neater housekeeper
than Samantha Allen, and as a
maker of cream biscuit and
apple dumplin' and a frier and
biler of spring chickens never
outdone. I've argued in private
life with her till my jaws ached
and my lungs wheezed, and
appeared before her daily for
years as a shinin' example of
man's superiority. But never
have I been able to make her
own up how inferior her sect is
to the opposite one...Bet I
dassent wait a minute longer. I
have got to put a stop to the
awful doin's going on around
me...For things are' growip'
worse and worse all the time,
female wimmen are risin' up on
every side clairnin' to be equal to
men, talkin', preachin', hikin',
paradin', with banners, vowin'
with brazen impudence that
since they bear the financial and
legal burdens of citizenship they
ort to be citizens. Why, in the
very first beginin' of time, we
find the great fact that smashes
female equality down into the
dirt where it belongs. We find
that wimmen wuz made and
manufactured jest because men
wuz kinder lonesome. As my
Uncle Simon says, "It wuz jest a
happen that wimmen wuz made
at all. Adam was lonesome on
that big farm and probable
needed some help. And he
happened to have an extra rib he
could spare, and so wimmen wuz
made out of that spare rib. And
now jest think' on the
preposterous idee of that one
little rib bone a risin' up right in
the face of science and reason,
and pretendin' to be equal to the
hull carcass. And worse yet
trying' to stomp on Man and
bring him down 43414 level by
votin'. Why, Airarri had
listened to me and lter that rib
bone where it wuz, jest think
what the world would have
escaped, think of the jealousies,
angers, revenges,
weariness, expenses, wars, ruin
and bloodshed caused through
the centuries by changin' that
rib bone into a female!"
"Of course, it made a
tremendous stir in our town
when the word got out that I
wuz writin' a book agin female
suffrage with the firm
determination of puttin' an end
to it forever. It lifted me up to
sech a bite in the estimation of
the local Males that it would
have given a weaker man the
I-lead and made 'ern liable to fail
off. And so the Creation
Searchin' Society of Jonesville
called a special meeting and
passed a resolution saying "It is
Your honor, Josiah. Allen, to let
the hell world see how superior
to females, how noble, how
grand, is the male man."

LUCY R. WpgD4
Dr. Dale Moody, a Baptist theologian is quoted as saying: "God is
giving the church a good shaking today. With his left hand he
disturbs her slumber with the noise of revolution, and with his right
hand he rings the bell calling for relevance to such pressing social
problems as race, poverty and war. A polarity develops in every
denomination of Christianity between these calling for old-fashioned
soul-winning and those new styles of social action that shock and
startle the faithful".
"What really works in the ministry today? Curiously almost
anything, if it is done with spirit — or spirited. Now as in other times
there are ministers with the special gift of God that the Greeks called
Charisma, an ability to inspire energy and enthusiasm among the
apathetic and the alienated. Though they can be found in any
ministry, many seem to work a special magic among the young."
The closing quotations of this lengthy article is: "An aloaf and
alien technological society has already shocked man into a
re-discovery of his own humanity with all its hopes and miseries. In
every faith and in every believer, there is once again a burgioning
awareness of God — or at least a sense that every man is a priest to
his fellow-man."
Lucy read some time ago the statement of a college professor in
the United States that today's young people are perhaps the most
religious as they are of an enquiring turn of mind, But he pointed
out that many of them had no Bible and were obliged to go to the
library to study it. It would seem then that many of their parents
and grandparents have been negligent in home instruction in the
religious faith to which they belonged.
Lucy has heard people say in this small village: "Oh, well, my
children can decide things for themselves when they are old enough
to understand".
The old adage still holds: "Bring a child up in the way he should
go and in later years he will not depart there from." And a great deal
of teaching is by example.
In past years when certain broadcasters interviewing priests and
ministers repeatedly pointed out that God was dead, Lucy could not
understand the apparent lack of faith. Were they mad with too much
learning, she wondered. A theological student once told Lucy that in
his studies where he got to a certain point, he didn't know whether
he believed in Jesus Christ or not. A wise professor advised him to
continue and in doing so his faith came back stronger than ever.
Years later Lucy was told that as he passed from a bed of suffering
into the next world his face lighted up with indescribable joy as he
met the. Saviour. Lucy would like to think that such faith will come
again to those who seem to have cut adrift from their spiritual
moorings. Many churches are empty but the bidding to "assemble
yourselves together" is meant for us today just as it was in early
Christian days.
Often and often Lucy wondered what text the Reverend John
Ross4 Presbyterian minister in Brucefield from September 25, 1851
401VIairch 8, li887 would Tut theseAearnecl men -under who were
denying God:-She cherishes a book "The Man with •the Book"
written by his widow, Anna Ross, and is enjoying reading it for the
third time.
The Daily Globe was a matter of great interest to Rev. John Ross
for, he said, the world is my parish and I must know what God is
doing in every corner of it.
A memorandum in his notebook was dated March 19, 1868. In
relating the circumstances years later he said: "I was sitting that
morning peacefully looking over last night's Globe. In the summary
of 'news appeared an item that ran somewhat as follows: 'The
Emperor of the French has just returned from the court of Berlin,
and intends in a few weeks to make a visit to the royal house of
Russia.' As the words came under my eye I seemed to get a sight of
that man and his craftiness, and I said to myself: What is he about
now? A few months ago he was at the court of Spain; he has just
returned from a visit to the court of Berlin; and in a few weeks he
intends to go to Russia. What is he about? With that I got such a
realization of war and horror as made my heart tremble.
"I rose at once and went into an inner room, to turn God's eye
upon the man who, I felt sure, was maturing selfish schemes that
meant perfidy and bloodshed. I cried too God against him. When I
rose from my knees the first verse I got from my Book was the 40th
of Isaiah, 'Who bringeth the princes to nothing. He maketh the judges
of the earth as vanity. Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall
not be sown, yea, they shall not take root in the earth; and He shall
blow upon them, and they shall Wither, and the whirlwind shall take
them away as stubble.'
"The directness and fullness of the answer startled me.
"Now, I said, 'T have Louis Napoleon under that, and all I have to
do is keep him there!"
Mr. Neil Ross commented on how the news of the Indian meeting
and Crimean and American wars troubled Mr. Ross. "I was in
Brucefield when news came of the breaking out of the
Franco—Prussian war. I met Mr. Ross on the street and he spoke to
me about it, but he seemed so cheerful that I was surprised. I asked
him how it was that he was in such good spirits.
"He replied, am not afraid of Louis Napoleon, For many
months I have had him under a text and he cannot stir out of that
(quoting text). Now watch him. You will find Louis Napoleon has
lost his strength."
The utter and *id collapse of the power and plans of the French
Emperor Which so surprised and perplexed the World did neither to
Mr. Ross.
Years later when news came in of the death of the young Prince
Imperial, killed in Zubulonel by savages, Mr. Ross seemed much
touched.
"My text has been fulfilled" he said, "to the bitter end. Not One
word has failed."
In December 190, Luey's attention was attracted by the cover of
True Magazine: "Is 00 coming back to life?
A lengthy article covering Protestant, Roman Catholic and the
Jewish faiths is entitled, "The New Ministry: Bringing God back to
life".
"The young are not as irreligious as they seem --.far from it- But
most fail to recognize their religious impulse and they satisfy far
away from the churches— in Eastern (or pseudo-Eastern) mysteries,
in drug reveries, in the noisy trance Of Melt, or sometimes in the
touchable realities of nature."
When priests live and work on their own as they have in some
experimental programs, they often leave the active ministry. After
they leave, they are apt to join secular bureaucraties notably welfare
agencies ^ that also allow them little room for personal initiative
and responsibility.
