Mr. Mills has resigned as Assistant Minister of the church after six years of ser- vice in that role. During that time he visited many who were ill or shut in in their own homes, in hospitals and nurs- ing homes and on many occa- sions conducted the church service. This Sunday he spoke on the topic, "Our own way --- not knowing where." He read scripture verses from Hebrews II telling of Abraham's great faith in obeying God even when the results were unknown to him. Mr. Mills applied this story to his own future. At the close of the service Rev. Forsythe expressed his personal thanks to Mr. Mills, particularly mentioning his co-operation and dependability. He then called on Clarence Down who expressed the thanks of the Congregation to Mr. and Mrs. Mills for their work of the past six years and presented them with a col- oured portrait of themselves prepared by Jack Doerr.

The congregation was pleased to welcome some of the Mills' family to this ser- vice - their daughter - Miss Joan Mills;daughter-in-law Mrs. Don Mills and their grandchildren. A picnic lunch and social time made a pleasant ending for this occasion.

The aim of ACWW is to educate and to combat disease and poverty. One pro- ject for the 80's is "Fresh Water and Sanitation for All." "I feel our priority is to help in the developing countries," said Dr. Ellen McLean of Eureka, N.S., the newly elected world president. She is past president of her pro- vince and of Canada - is the wife of a dairy farmer and was awarded an Honourary Doctorate of Laws degree for her work on behalf of rural women. The "Interfaith Service" on Sunday was attended by day visitors as well, when many faiths participated. Very Rev. Lois Wilson, past Moderator of the United Church of Canada spoke on "Faith, Hope and Love." She said, '• We need to know each other as persons, and learn to relate to each other as we are call- ed to abide in love." The guests were treated to tours of different parts of southern British Columbia and a special "Canadiana" night featuring Bobby Curtola. As the conference continues delegates become more aware that there is a wealth of experience in the nine million members and it must be passed on to others when they return to their homelands. One speaker said "May the coming generations discover that there is only one country "Mother Earth" and one nation "Mankind" and this sums up the feeling of the delegates here. Food prices take slight dip in June Retail food prices dropped two percent in June from a year ago, according to the latest calculation of the On- tario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) Food Basket. The retail value of the Food Basket, at $45.42, was 93 cents less than in, June, 1982, and 52 cents less than last month. The farmer's share of the Food Basket also declined in June by $1.40 from a year earlier, to $23.32. The farm - gate equivalent value was also down 16 cents from May. The OFA attributes much of the drop in the farm -gate value over one year earlier to cattle prices that peaked at record high levels in June, 1982. Pork prices were also extremely high at that time. Although the retail and farm -gate values both declin- ed, the spread between what the consumer pays, and the farmer receives, actually in- creased. The farm -to -retail spread in June was $22.09, a 2.2 percent increase from one year ago. The Food Basket is design- ed to show consumers treands in the farmer's share of the retail food dollar. Because of the difficulty in calculating the farmer's share of some highly processed products and fresh produce, the Food Basket doesn't include a com- plete range of food items. The OFA has estimated that the products used in calculating the Food Basket make up about 55.percent of a family of four's weekly food bill. Beef prices led the price decline in the month -to month comparison. The retail value of beef was trimmed 31 cents to $2.73 per pound, while the farmer's share of beef prices dropped two cents to $1.92 per pound. As a result, the farm - to -retail spread decreased 29 cents to 81 cents per pound. Pork prices also dropped marginally. The retail price was nicked one cent to $2.08 per pound. The farmer's share dropped even more, by six cents to 51.01 per pound. The result was an increase in the farm -to -retail differen- tial of five cents, to $1.07 per pound. Other foods included in the survey had the following price changes: - Turkey prices were un- changed at retail but increas- ed two cents to 81 cents per pound at the farm -gate. - The farmer's share of egg prices rose one cent per dozen for all grades. The store prices increased four cents per dozen for both extra large and large and two cents for medium. - Higher ice cream, cream cheese and cheddar cheese prices boosted the retail price of dairy products by 10 cents to $12.57. The farmer's share remained unchanged. - Higher bread prices pushed the retail price of grain pro- ducts up five cents, while farmers reaped a gain of three cents, to 85 cents, due to higher corn and wheat prices.
