Arrangements were made to or- der the flowers and do the decorating of the Church for the Christmas season. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Robert Turner on Tues. February 26, 1974. SENIOR CITIZENS The basement of St, Andrews, United Church was beautifully,. decorated with red and a glittering Christmas tree for the annual Christmas Dinner for the Bayfield Senior Citizens, Forty-six members were present and they regretted that two other members, Mr. and Mrs. Andy MacFarland were unable to attend. Special guests were Rev. George and Mrs. Youmatoff; Rev. James and Mrs. Reddoch and Mrs. Pearl Cummings of Clinton. Grace was sung and everyone enjoyed a wonderful buffet turkey dinner served from a long beautifully decorated cen- tre table. Dainty favours on the small dining tables were made by Milvena Erickson, for which the members thank her for her very nice way of saying good wishes to the Club, While the ladies were clearing the tables, president Clair Merner welcomed all present and expressed thanks to the Ladies of the Church who had served the dinner. All were glad to see Clair looking so well and happy following his recent surgery. The pres, asked Mr. Reddoch for a short talk about the Christmas season and he replied with a short reading by Tom Dooley entitled "Could you spare five minutes". These five minutes to be spent thinking of the true meaning of Christmas away from the com- mercial and fun loving aspects of it. Two old favourites, "Jingle Bells' and "White Christmas" were sung by the group and then Mr. Youmatoff was asked to give a, few minutes talk on Christmas. He chose as his topic "The Love of the Christ- mas Tree," and mentioned while in the Congo with the Ar- med forces, his station had fashioned a Christmas tree from bamboo and palm trees. It had delighted the black children who had never before seen one and was a touch of home for the-Armed Forces and their families. A Christmas tree with an angel or a star atop, symbolizes part of the true meaning of Christmas. In thinking the speakers, Clair went back into member's lives when, as children they went to the nearby woods and chopped down their own Christmas tree and dragged it home, a thing so few children in the present time have the op- portunity to experience. Christmas carols were sung and cards were played to end a very happy evening. Prize win- ners were Mr. Mary Clark and Mrs. Dorothy Merner, George Clark and Fred Mote; lone hands, Mrs. Percy Weston. 59TH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Ray Schell were honoured guests at a din- ner party on Saturday evening Dec. 1, at the Ponderosa Steak 1! d It was a very special occasion for the Schell 's `.'1111ib""‘Ver -e" celebrating their fifty-ninth wedding anniver- sary.

OSHAWA-A resolution put forward by the Huron County delegation caused a good deal of discussion before being ap- proved at the annual conven- tion of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture held in the Holiday Inn, Oshawa on Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. The resolution, sponsored by Phil Durand of Zurich dealt with the tariff of eight cents on the import of corn• from the United States. The government has indicated it may withdraw the tariff but the resolution warned that U.S. corn growers are subsidized by their govern- ment and removal of the tariff would give them too great an advantage in the Canadian market, hurting Canadian growers. The resolution urged that the tariff not only be retained, but increased to 25c. The resolution immediately ran into flack from livestock producers who felt it would in- crease their costs at a time when all input costs are soaring. It was point out, however, that is the price wasn't right, the growers would feed their crop to livestock Our cold Ontario winters are hard on many ornamental trees and shrubs, especially if they are not properly protected by suitable wrappings. Wrapping materials should reflect the sun's rays and serve as a windbreak, but permit good air circulation around the shrub or tree, says Burke McNeill, horticultural specialist *ith the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. wrapping materials. In ad- dition to reflecting the sun's rays and protecting the or- namental from winter winds, it is porous enough for good air producing a glut on the livestock market and hurting livestock growers. The resolution passed with a surprising majority considering the fact that the majority of delegates are livestock producers. One delegate felt this was a good omen in that one producer recognizes the right of another to a fair deal even if it hurts himself a little. Another resolution, this one from Peel county, caused a stir before it was overwhelmingly approved. It called on all governments to put an im- mediate moratorium on sales of land in Ontario to persons other than Canadians or lan- ded immigrants. The resolution noted that many persons engaged in speculation in the province are non-Canadians who are driving prices up and taking their profits out of the country. The resolution was greeted with some opposition from those who thought it was too harsh and an attempt was made to send it back to com- mittee for more study. OFA president Gordon Hill, of Varna, however, squelched circulation. Wrap the burlap loosely and be certain that you have enough material to cover the entire plant. Plants may be wrapped from top to bottom, but it is more ef- fective to drive stakes into the ground around the plant and attach the burlap securely to the stakes. That way, good air circulation around the plant is assured. Opaque plastic can be used instead of burlap. Wrap it loosely around the plant. Do not use dark or black plastic — instead of reflecting, it draws the heat. the move with an impassioned plea to the delegates to make a decision on the question one way of the other since the resolution had been sent back to a committee once before. "Don't throw off the decision on someone else," he urged. "If we're going to have a land-use plan we're going to have to make a few unpleasant decisions." The resolution was adopted without further debate, BAS AC ORY ou. NOW LOCATED ON HWY. #4 SOUTH OF CLINTON AT VANASTRA . STORE SIZES CHILDREN'S' HOURS. 7-16 MON.
