Bev Brown tells VVI members
about the rewards farm life
BELMORE — Guest speaker
Miss Bev Brown was introduced
by Mrs. Jack Inglis when she
attended the meeting of the Wo-
men's Institute on November 8.
Miss Brown and her ,sister,
Jean, were employed at a print-
ing and packaging business in
Toronto where Bev had been
working in personnel for 12
years. However, they decided the
busy city life was not for them so
decided to look to the country for
something more rewarding.
Their final decision was` to go into
pig farming and they looked for
land in this area as it was suit-
able for growing corn crops.
After considerable research,
talking with a few farmers, agri-
cultual- representatives and top
swine experts, a deal was made
to purchase the William Dettman
farm on the fourth concession of
Turnberry Township. In spite of
prophecies from local people and
those of other areas, that the "pig
girls" and their farming business
would be short-lived, Bev and
Jean have come through on top,
after steady progress during the
past eight years.
Their experiences, as told by
Bev, were most interesting and
amusing to their rural audience.
Besides success in pig farming,
they have also enjoyed becoming
involved in community activities.
Mrs. R. Chambers thanked the
speaker and presented Bev with.
a small token of appreciation,
?Presidlent Mrs. Stan Hays
opened the meeting in the usual
manner and minutes of the Oct-
ober meeting were read by the
secretary, Mrs. John Rutherford,
Mrs. Hays reported on the Bruce
County rally held in Sauble
Beach Community Centre on
October 19. The theme, "En-
thusiasm Makes the Difference",
was carried out throughout the
rally. '
Mrs. Hays also told the mem-
bers that a memorial donation
from the Institute was made in
memory of Glen Jeffray.
Next year, 1979, will be the 75th
anniversary of the Belmore Wo-
men's Institute. The president
requested that members present
suggestions for this important
event. Mrs. Jack Inglis was re-
elected to represent the Institute

Value of freedom
stressed by speaker

the importance of remembering
as she used a Remembrance'Da'y
theme for the worship service at
the November meeting of Unit
Two, United Church Women, held
at the home of Mrs. Max Bell.
Mrs. Taylor referred to the fact
that we think of history in terms
of the lives of great men and
women, past and present. "We
live in a world of progress in
science, education and health,"
she said, "and we honor those
who contributed to that progress:
However, we remember with
proud thanksgiving and deep
affection the men and women
whose names are on cenotaphs
the world over and those who lie
in hospitals maimed for life, who
offered their lives on the battle-
fields of history to preserve and
protect from destruction the
things they knew in their hearts
were worth preserving."
Mrs. Marie Schmidt read
Paul's letter to the Ephesians,
chapter 6, with reference to
Paul's advice to "put on the
whole armor of God". "It •is at
our disposal for protection
against the war of greed and evil
which is waging in the world
today," she said. Mrs. Cecil
Grainger gave the closing prayer
and the worship service closed
with a hymn.
The roll call, "A Remem-
brance Day verse", was an-
swered by 14 members. Mrs. D.
Clegg gave the treasurer's report
and short reports were also given
on the Whitechurch sectional
meeting and the recent bazaar.
Following the adjournment of
the meeting, refreshments were
served by Mrs. Robert Hastie,
Mrs. Robert Gibson and the
hostess. The December meeting
will be at the home of Mrs. Gib-
son with all members partici-
pating in the Christmas program
and lunch box packages.
