Horticultural societies. throughout Ontario will receive additional financial assistance this year through a doubling of their annual grants. The in- creased grants are part of several changes announced by the Hon, William A. Stewart, MiniSter of Agriculture and Food, in the Horticultural Societies Arnendment Act, 1975. Prior to the amended Act, horticultural societies qualified for an annual maximum grant of $500, depending on membership numbers, The levels have been changed whereby a yearly maximum grant of $500 is available to societies with 100 members or less; a $1000 yearly grant to societies with 100 to 200 members; and a $1500 grant to societies with more than 200 members. Where a new society is formed, the first year mem- bership grant has been increased from 50c a person with a $75 maximum, to $2 per member with a $200 maximum, Societies which have been in existence for more than one year will now receive grants based on $1 for each member for the previous year, and one-half of the expenditures incurred during the previous year. Under the amended Act a new provision allows for volunteer or donated labor to be considered as an expense within a society to one- quarter of the amount expended, In making the announcement, the Minister emphasized the expanding role of the hor- ticultural societies in the com- munity, "They have been a great catalyst in bringing all levels of the community together in a common bond, a common in- terest. "To strengthen further the role of all citizens throughout Ontario in the societies, the amended' Act now allows young people under 16 years of age to become associate members for grant purposes. As well, a society in a territorial district or provisional county will only be required to have 25 members, not the 50 individuals previously required for mem- bership. This will make it easier for some societies to get established in Northern Ontario," added Mr. Stewart, "The upsurge in gardening and horticultural projects convinced us to further broaden the ob- jectives of the Societies Act," he said. "By including balcony gardening, therapeutic gar- dening in hospitals and senior citizens' homes, plot gardening, and by promoting outdoor art and the protection of the environment through the use of horticultural projects, horticultural societies will improve our quality of life," Dairy Day set at Arva Many dairymen from the area will be in Arva Friday at the Western Ontario Dairy Cattle Day. The program focusses on "Present Planning for the Future" and features George McLaughlin, chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board who will discuss "The Future in Dairy Farming". The program will be held in Medway High School, Arva just north of London. Starting time is 10:00 a.m. Other program topics include feeding, business agreements and genetic improvement plans for the dairy farm of the future. Speakers are Bob Lang, dairy cattle specialist and Dick Heard, farm management specialist both of London and Dr. Ted Burnside of the University of Guelph. Everyone is welcome. Bring your own lunch. Refreshments will be supplied. Plan now to attend, Planning for plow match An information session in connection with the 1978 Inter- national Plowing Match to be held in Huron County is being planned. Ed Starr, secretary-manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association will be the discussion leader at the meeting to be held at the Central Huron Secondary School cafeteria in Clinton on Tuesday, July 15 at 8.30 p.m. The 1978 International plowing match and farm machinery show will be held on the farm of Jim Armstrong, near Wingham. Howard Datars, chairman of the Huron committee said this week, "Many people have ex- pressed interest in helping with this large agricultural event. Some would like to know more about the nature of some of the work involved with the various committees." "Very few of the key roles have been filled at this time. We do hope that anyone with an interest in helping will plan to attend the Clinton meeting, There will be plenty of opportunity for questions," he continued. BALER TWINE 10,000 ft TWIGA LABEL Competitive price Available at MAPLE LEAF MILLS LTD. SEED DIVISION Exeter Phone 285-0863 By MRS. E. SUMMERS Dr. Anson Moorhouse, recently retired director of Berkely Studio (the United Church film unit) was the guest speaker on Sunday, June 29 at the United Church Anniversary service. Dr. Moorhouse was ac- companied by his wife, who has assisted him in his work and is responsible for much of the high quality photography for Berkely Studio. The sermon was taken from Matthew 5 v 5, "How happy are the humble minded for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs" and the message was "Be careful it's showing". The correlative of happiness is religion says Dr. Moorhouse, and religion means being totally committed and through God's works, reaching out to touch others. The speaker had a delightful sense of humor which he used throughout his message. Rev. Mary McInally was in charge of the worship, and welcomed former members and visitors to the Anniversary Celebration. She also paid tribute to Dr. & Mrs. Moorhouse for the great work they are doing for the church. They have travelled all over the world making the church missionary, and documentary films. Ray Cook was awarded his wreath for his Sunday School attendance pin. Special music was provided by the choir. An anthem "Have you• seen Jesus my Lord" a violin solo "Scottish Lullaby"by Arden Bryan, and an instrumental and vocal duet by Cindy Mills and Brenda Cook "Pass it on" Brenda supplied the accompaniment on her guitar. The church sanctuary was decorated with an assortment of colourful flowers. Following the service a Buffet Luncheon was enjoyed, provided by the UCW.

This year ,the committee in charge arranged to have Ken- tucky fried chicken which with salads, and Grecian bread, was picked up in London by Mrs. Glen Jameson. Cake and ice-cream completed the menu. Mrs. James Kerr president welcomed everyone at the door, and 43 members and visitors were present. Preceding the luncheon a minute's silence was observed, in memory of a former member, the late Arthur Baker who recently passed away, also a prayer was offered for the bereaved family by Rev. Mary McInally, James Kerr, on behalf of the members, oLtIred a vote of thanks to the committee for arranging such a delicious meal.

Mrs. Thomas Dickinson was chosen as the new president, and a committee was put in for the September meeting. Those who were honored by having their names on the bir- thday cake were Mary Mclnally, Charlotte Kerr, Mabel McNaughton and Earle Mid- dleton. The rest of the afternoon was spent playing games.
