The Ailsa Craig District Lions' club report that December 19 a hot turkey supper was sei v - ed to 110 seniors in the Legion hall. There were 34 take-out plates.

The annual pot luck dinner and congregational meeting will be held Sunday January 23 after the church service. Church service - Rev. Robert Matheson was in charge of' the regular church. The children's story was entitled "Gifts of the Spirit". , The Scripture Lessons were read from Isaiah 62:1-5, 1 Corinthians 12:3-11, John 2:1-12. The ser- mon was "Caution: God is Still at Work." In exploring our faith we need to recognize, the aspect of the Holy Spirit and the role the Spirit -plays in the Trinity. Some like Paul in the Bible have a radical awakening by - the Holy Spirit. The Spirit which both Greek -and Hebrew give the same mean- ing as "wind" or "breath" breathes new life into those • who receive it. The Holy Spirit is always available to us but we have to 'be receptive td' its presence. Christ received- the Holy Spirit at the time of His bap- tism, It was the Holy Spirit in the life of Christ which allow- ed, Him to perform miracles in His Father's name. Jesus introduces us to the Holy Spirit. • We are told to look for the Comforter - The Holy Spirit - to reassure us God is with us empowering us to minister in His world. If we are willing to grow in faith the Spirit grows and grows within.us. After the Resurrection of Christ His followers were left on their own. When the first Christian Pentecost occurred fifty days after the resurrection even those in the periphery of the Christian faith found new life in the faith. They returned to Chrjst's fold with more than' double the measure of en- thusiasm they had had before. We receive strength in our faith in the knowledge God is with each of us through the presence of His Spirit. Christ has taught us Godhas a way - of -life for each of us. He also brought the love of God into the world in a very personal way. He taught.}ls that God as Creator of ourworld does care for all of us.

Three representatives of the banking world, Bob Mor- ris an agrologist with the Toronto -Dominion Bank in London, Dave Gowing of the Farm Credit Corporation in Stratford, spoke on financial management at . the Huron County Federation of Agriculture's January meeting in Exeter. All three men spoke on money management matters identifying budgetting methods. The bankers told those present to work out their finances and go from there. Federation memb€r Merle Gunby asked the banking community to accept some of the ' responsibility for the economic crunch faced by farmers. He is opposed to farmers being labelled as "bad managers" and pointed to the financial difficulties • faced by such corporations as Massy -Ferguson and Chrysler. "We have received a lot of good advice hdlte -tonight. I wish some bank managers had as much knowledge as. you gentlemen," commented Gunby-. - I don't think farmers as a - class. are ` bad managers. 'Bad' is more the inability to cope. Farmers are more often than not able to adapt," responded McClusker. - Planning was emphasized by the money lenders and Gowing said to survive farmers should plan their credit requirements. He add- ed farmer§ should aveidierge capital expenditures. I believe you should be open and honest with all, the money lenders you deal with. When the banker understands your particular situation he is more likely to support you," commented Gowing. He continued his thoughts on surviving. He suggested farmers be more flexible in their production techniques and take a more business -like approach in dealing with the banks. Gowing also recom- mended farmers ensure their . debts are properly struc- tured: Morris presented a consolidated net worth state- ment which should be con- sidered on a daily basis. "Current assets should be greater than the liabilities but unfortunately many are not," said Morris. A SNOWY WALK — Gloria McKenzie takes her favourite canine. Kid for a stroll along Exeter's Main street Sunday afternoon. T -A photo TIgeTIm.s from Stephen Central Hi, Tiny Tiger reporting through the snowflakes. Winter is really here this time. I think Stephen boys and girls are having fun mak- ing forts and play houses. Our group read "A Bundle of Sticks". We are making it into a play. We voted on character parts. Then we listed props. When we are done practising we will put it on for the class. i think it is a good play. i hope they will like it. Room 8 Dwarves One day we all brought milk cartons of different sizes. it took us about two weeks to make houses. We made large, buildings in teams. It started to look like a real good city. We have a hospital, rt church, a firehall, a post office, a shopping cen- tre and a MacDonalds. We tried our hardest to get a good name for the city. We voted to choose our favourite name. We chose Storyville. • Room 8 Trolls At schbtol we have a very new friend. Her name is Sal- ly and she came from Australia. Sally says that there are kangaroos in Australia but they are not near her home. She saw them at Cochrane where they damaged farm crops. There is no snow where Sally lives. She thought it was exciting to see it in Canada. At her school they eat lunch outside on chairs in the shade of the trees. They have a smaller playground. They play games like scarecrow, tag and lion ' chasing. We are glad to have Sally with us. - Room 8 Munchkiris Our first day of skating was January 6. it was fun. We went with Room 9 and Room 11.

ATour school we are taking home special letters to look for pre-schoolers who are ready for kindergarten this September. Miss Wallen is in- viting them to come to school one day this spring and she wants to be sure everyone has an invitation. The agrologist suggested . The Toronto -Dominion any financial decisions should agrologist concluded by be made on the past, present stating he has more optimism and future of the farm opera -this year for farmers than the tion. He said when working on past five years. costs, farmers should forget the market value ofthe opera- tion and focus on the actual costs of assets. "Identify all costs and either reduce them or get rid of them altogether," said Morris. He encouraged farmers to have a wide source of market information which would pro- ` vide more correct information. "When a farmer blames bad advice for his situation, he is publicly stating he hasn't done his homework," com- mented Morris. When a business is running into difficulty, Morris sug- gested non-farm items should be gotten rid of with the pro- ceeds used rior 'current liabilities. Surplus farm items could be sold possibly even land said Morris. The next step is to reduce inventory, then go over past records and possibly restructure debts. "Determine your credit worthiness -before you ask for more credit," said Morris. ca - LE HS RO SU OB PA NM GG TM OE HD CP PP GT TA SP AC , WH 'Yu, RR RU BOWLING Men's A D. Jackson 831 R.
