visits bean plant
Members of the Riverview
W.I. were among the first to
visit the new Great Canadian
Bean Plant in Ailsa Craig. At
their September 5 meeting
the ladies were the guests of
Mr. & Mrs. Pete Twynstra
who gave them a conducted
tour through the new plant.
Explaining the functionm of
each of the machines to the
members, Pete Twynstra
also showed the members a
new bean puller which pulls
four rows at a time and is
then followed up by a bean
combine.
The beans are then put into
a truck and are brought to
the plant located on the
Twystra farm. The new
combine has many new
features which greatly
reduces cracking the dry
beans. The group asked
many questions which
Twynstra carefully an
swered for the ladies.
Following the
members were served ice
cream and punch on the
patio of the Twynstra home.
In appreciation of the
couple’s kindness and
hospitality, Mrs. I. McAlpine
presented Mr§. Twynstra
with a pot of mums.
The group then returned to
the Masonic Hall in Ailsa
Craig for the remainder of
their meeting. Mrs. Ivy
Adams president took the
chair and roll call was an
swered by “Problems with
House or graden plants and
my solution or yours”. Many
interesting suggestions were
given.
Mrs. McAlpine, convener
of Agriculture and Canadian
tour
r
Industries presided for the
balance of the program.
Mrs. Earl Rees read the
scripture and Mrs. Olive
Currie gave the motto “Pray
to God for a good harvest,
but continue to hoe”. Mrs. I.
McAlpine gave a humourous
reading “What a Grand
mother Is”.
Mrs. Roland Neil reported
on the County Rally held at
Weldon Park at Arva July 25.
It was agreed to ask a local
girl to represent Riverview
W.I. in the Parkhill Fair
Queen contest and to ask
another to represent the
group in the “Queen of the
Furrow” competition at the
Middlesex County plowing
match later this fall.
Mrs. Wasp will assist Mrs.
Adams in the 4H project on
needlepoint, Mrs. George
Lee and Mrs. James Mar
shall will again take the
other group.
Several items of business
were dealt with after which
Mrs. Frank Dickens and her
group served lunch and a
social half hour was enjoyed.

Bean processing firm
opens AC facilities
Up To Year-8%Facilities include storage
capacity for more than
100,000 bushels. The plant
has been carefully designed
to allow for expansion as
increased volume and new
varieties dictate.
Present handling equip-1
ment includes two cleaners,
receiving scales, dryers, de
stoners, gravity separators,
picker, polisher and semi
automatic bagging equip
ment.
In its initial year, the
company is expected to
receive and process the crop
from more than 3,000 acres.
Over three hundred in
terested persons accepted
the invitation of the Pete
Twynstra family last Friday
afternoon to the opening of
the new Great Canadian
Bean Co. Inc. Located on the
family’s Twilight Acres
Farm, RR1 Ailsa Craig, just
south of the village limits,
the Co. held its opening on
Friday afternoon and held a
celebration dance for the
community and friends,
Friday evening.
The processing plant .
dominates the landscape
with its nine silos close
beside: It has a capacity of
2500 metric tonnes and is
specifically designed to
minimize damage to the
beans. The warehouse itself
is 60’ x 100’ with the
processing building
measuring 70’ x 36’ and 40’
high.
While Pete is aiming his
edible bean operation im
mediately at the export
market, in the long run he is
interested in what he expects
will be an expanding
Canadian market.
“With the low value of the
devalued Canadian dollar, it
is an opportune time to
export”, he explained. The
company will hand white,
yellow-eye beans, light red
kidney beans, dark red
kidney beans and edible soya
beans.
The Twynstra family
operates a 1,000 acre cash
crop farm, Twilight Acres”,
which is involved in corn and
grain production as well as
beans. While the new
company is located on the
farm, its

Time was spent in the
morning service remem
bering the late Wilfred
Schlegel, founder of the
congregation, who passed
away last month. “While he
cannot be physically with us
this morning, his spirit is
most certainly among us”,
testified Pastor Dave
Brunner.
Over the noon hour the
congregation and friends
you see the best
The church was filled with
members and friends
Sunday morning as the
Nairn mennonite
congregation celebrated its
30th anniversary.
Guest speaker for the
occasion was the Rev. Ken
Schwartzentruber, missi
onary in Brazil and currently
home on furlough. Speaking
to the theme “Being God’s
People in a Changing
World”, he reminded his
listeners of the basic need to
glorify God.
He recalled God giving
man another chance over
and over again, “But,” he
warned “if institutions
continue and God doesn’t get
the glory, God’s glory will
depart”. He also cautioned
the congregation “we can
get busy in the work of Christ
and miss the Christ of the
work”.
In the afternoon session he
continued with the theme
“Proclaiming God’s Word to
A Changing World”. He
recalled how the
congregation itself had
changed since its beginning
30 years ago, and how too the
apostle Peterchanged as he
grew in his discipleship.
“You can’t live a godly life in
an ungodly society without
getting hurt”, he cautioned.
In conclusion he challenged
“are you contented to do His
will at any cost? Are you
contented to hurt when He
hurts? And can youpraisethe
Lord when somone less
experienced than you can do
a better job?”
His wife, Grace, spent
time with the children in the
morning service telling them
a little about Brazil and life
there. In conclusion she
taught them the chorus “God
is So Good” in Portugese.
Throughout the time of
celebration she also sang two
solos, “He Lives” and
“Great Is Thy Faith
fulness”. Special music was
also provided by the
Gingerich Sisters, The
Harmony Trio (Wilma, Beth
and Lora Lyn Smith) and
Peter and Kathv Snell of the
enjoyed a pot luck meal in
Mennair Hall before con
tinuing the celebration with
