MPP for By Wilma Oke To educate the members of the Huron - Perth Presbytery of the United Church on wise land use a two-day seminar at the Bruce€field churph was initiated by Rev. BertDaynard of Staffa. On the . first day Thursday, Mr. Daaynard. and Dr. Allan Churchill, Chatham, past president of the London Conference, established the theological foundations of the issue. Both quoted from the old and new testaments to show the interdependency . of people and the land. Dr. Churchill said more wars have been fought over land than any other commodity as he warned against worshipping the land as a distinct entity. He said it was a gigantic problem to use the land properly with the least harm and the greatest good for both people and the land itself: We aro so tempted to use land far our own purposes,so as to abuse it and so we i eed a strong theological basis for an y Jim Fitzgerald The News -Accord. like just about everyone else in Canada except the Bell Telephone and private couriers, is now praying daily that the postal strike will soon be over.

"We can't get this ethic by romanticising nature or by developing our materialistic - philosophy to which we seem to be enslaved. We need to get back to the Biblical roots of a sound ethic, that recognizes God. the s Creator. as still sovereign and still the ultimate owner of his creations." "We need to see man, made in the image of God, as having some freedom but also considerable. responsibility to act as trustees Qf the land and all natural resources which God has put- into his temporary care, but man has faallen and he continues to drag creation into his faatlenness with him..' Continuing, Dr. Churchill said, .`The Bible seems to be saying that man will not be redeemed without the land being redeemed as well. This is a revolutionary idea and would be really revolutionary if we treated all natural resources on the basis of this principle." In the afternoon se s'ion Thursday, William Heine, editor of the London Free Press. told of land -use attitudes in a number of countries he had visited around the world. Most Efficient "Nobody is ., more efficient than the fanner who is left alone to plant the crop he decides is best for his own farm." he ',stated. "No totalitarian land has ever been able to compare to our system in North America where six percent of the xrpulaation feeds the other 94 percent and have a surplus of millions of tons of foodstuff to send overseas." "You have to accept the fact it is an enormously efficient system when a free man operates in a free market of supply and demand. ,Enlightened d self-interest works bests, he said. Mr. Heine said the Russians._ are notoarieaus for the inefficient use.o_f land and must import tons of grain to feed -the ppaeople. with their system of centralized farming , decisions, made by a bureaucracy end not the persons far- ming the land. The Chinese are much better aat ef- ficiently using land and are able able to feed their over 800 million population. he said . The reasonhe gave for the success is that white thbre is central ownership of land, the Chinese farmers themselves have a say in what crops to plant, He tell out it takes110 r cent of the n aro* enough food for the e'r•cent and'•In Russia, 32 r t ,iai>e population to feed the +ath+r: scent. fir.

Land Exploiters In the Friday morning session, Gary Davidson of Goderich, Huron County Planner, presented the -local view on how man uses land and some of the pressures he is presently placing on it. Mr. Davidson said as a practioner of land use planning he deals with it on a daily basis. He said man uses land for material gain. "We are„ not users of our land, we are exploiters of it," he said. "In Souththwestern Ontario which has the best land in Canada, disintegration of farmland is reaching crisis propor- tions.", he warned. Mr. Davidson said, "The best land in the country is in Tuckersmith Township- -98 per cent of it is class one land. It's a national resourced There is more class one land in Tuckersmith than in all of Nova Scotia. In Huron County per cent of the land is class one," Mr, Davidson said that planning is a form of control—the control of the use of land. "Planning goes against the conk rept of free will, some say even against the concept of democracy," he said: "During the past few years we have been going merrily along dent eying the land --now we are reaching certain types of crises which are overcoming arguments against planning." Mr. Davidson said of Planning, "The authority rests with the Local elected (continued on page 8) Health Unit lays three .cherges over -Vanastrapool A Vanastra man appears in court today November 37 to face charges of not maintaining proper water clarity in the Vanastra Recreation Complex's Pool.
