He could not read or write but was a very simple, happy person. He was invited to live in a monastry and was happy until Christmas when everyone else made lovely gifts. On the evening of Christmas Day a terrible happening in the Chapel turned out to be Barnaby juggling his 12 gold- en balls on his red carpet. God accepted the only gift Barnaby had to give. "Bless- ed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." Mrs. McMurray offered prayer and closed the meet- ing with the W.M.S. motto, "The World for Christ." A Christmas lunch was served by Mrs. McKercher, Mr. McQuail said many of the farmers groups had met over lunch to discuss an umbrella organization. It's coming right along," he said. Mr. McQuail explained individual farm organizat- ions did not have the man- power to provide a represent- ative full time at the hear- ings. Working together would ensure farmers were represented fully at the hearings. No evidence was present- ed at the preliminary meet- ing, but Elbert van Donkers- goed of Drayton, represent- ing the Christian Farmers' Federation of Ontario, ex- pressed concern towards the whole two-stage approval process. The first stage is approval of Ontario Hydro's recommended plan of a transmission line from Bruce Nuclear Power Development (BNPD) to London, from there to Hamilton.
