' Bannockburn hike By Wilma Oke It was up hill and down dale for over 250 hikers Sunday afternoon as they walked through newly fallen leaves on the 61 - acre Bannockburn Wildlife area three miles west of Brucefield. The weather was idea -sunny The guided walk was sponsored by the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority which acquired the property five years ago. The nature trail led through a cedar swamp where the hikers crossed several bridges over the winding Bannockburn Creek, up to the top of the open meadow where hawthorns and old apple trees grew and into the. hardwood area covering the higher hills. Here the walkers saw the tall trees such as butternut, beech, ironwood, ash, birch, black cherry, elm, basswood, aspen and red and soft maples. The shy ' forest and meadow creatures remained out of sight including the rabbits, the muskrats, the foxes --only the blue jay's cry broke the silence and the rustle of the colorful leaves. The hikers were served hot chocolate and apple cider by Authority - from the races. .. owners Doreen Rowcliffe of Hensall and Barry Elliott of Kitchener.

Phone 482.91747 His Excellency Bishop John Sherlock of the London diocese is flanked by Father Oostveen of St. Columban parish and Father Mockler, the bishop's secretary of London and preceded by group of the Fourth degree honor guard of the Knights of Columbus following Sunday's mass at St. Columban church. (Expositor photo.) Knights have. communion Historical St. Columban Church was the scene of the Knights Of Columbus first District 31 Communion breakfast last Sunday afternoon at which 200 Knights and wives were present. The Mass which preceded the breakfast was celebrated by his Excellency most Reverand John Sherlock, Bishop Of London Diocese. Bishop Sherlock indicated his pleasure that' Knights from so many parishes had gathered together for this occasion. He also said that he would be spending much of his time in the visitation of the Parishes in his Diocese. He based his remarks in the Iomily Aux,ipg Mass ;and his address after, ' the breakfast ha quote' frorri the day's readings; "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods". He stressed that no longer was it sufficient for Catholics to just faithfully attend Mass on Sunday and private 'devotions, no, these were of course necessary, but their added responsibility was to carry God's will into our working atmosphere and speak out against injustices and im- morality in our society and in our'; country's Laws. In his address he of- fered a challenge to the farming community. Is the existence of the family farm in jeopardy of extinction? He invited input from the farming community organizations and assured all present that he was prepared to listen and act as necessary. Bishop Sherlock in- dicated that it was the duty of Christians to refrain from criticism of peoples of other cultures, and , it is , especially im- pertant to aintein an understandiri gl%formed attitude 'towards -the present' dilemma which now threatens the Unity of Canada. He stated that we should relate our- selves to the modern world and maintain a critical sense in Christian response. He also stressed the role of the Family Unit in society, the preservation of the rights as a family by speaking out against those who would attempt to degrade and even by law impose the will of the state in attempting to degrade the family unit. The family is the most powerful weapon available in our struggle in the preservation of human dignity he said. Bishop Sherlock in- formed the assembly that the Church was now in the process of instituting a family life renewal program which will be active in all parishes in the Diocese 'this coming fall and winter season, he urged all Catholics to participate in this program. He praised the appointment of the new multi-lingual Pope John Paul II and intimated that in him Catholics had a strong anddetermined man. Bishop Sherlock invited the Knights of 'Columbus to be the, leading force in the constant challenge towards the goal now being envisaged by the Church. He said that laymen should "speak out" and become an active influence in their communities, stressing the need for Christianity • •� •� • 0000•• ••••••\ �v> • µ ••• (4)-mstrong\•••••• 1 or Sale Show 0000•• • • ?Yin S= '� • ..t r : • "NO WAX" Mai Just a Few Days Left!

Gray and' Son egg -grading plant was closing im- mediately. The workers were called to the plant for the news by William Gray of Ridgetown, who operates the firm. Gray said that the closing is part of an "industry trend" resulting from reduced egg quotas. He said at least 10 major grading stations in Ontario have closed in the past two years. The approximately 35 major egg producers in Huron and Middlesex counties that have been served by the Seaforth plant, he said, "will still have a market with us." The firm continues to operate egg -grading plants in Ridgetown, Strathroy and Moorefield. R.K.
