The proposal was outlined briefly to a meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture by Elmer Hunter of Goderich who is on the coun- cil. In the past there have been four delegates from each of the four regions of Perth, Hur- on, Waterloo and Wellington plus appointed members at large, usually representing various industries, This, Mr. Hunter said, was not represent- ative of the region, being or- iented toward industry. The new proposal would cont- inue the regional membership and would add a fifth category with one new member for each 50, 000 of eop'ilation ( a total of eight new members). Five new groups would be added representing agriculture, education, industry and com- merce, tourism and a general category. These groups would replace the old system of members at large. The chair- man of each of these groups would be a member of the board of directors. Mr. Hunter pointed out that farmers in Huron stood the pos- sibility of gaining a place on the board of directors both through the farm group and the regional group. Meetings will be held to discuss the proposal in each region in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Frey, of St. Clemens, and Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Buehler, of St. Jacobs were Sunday visitors with Mrs. Leah Baechler and Verda. ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE NINE Many Visitors Crusade For Christ (by Ephraim Gingerich) On Sunday, March 7, the Faith and Life Crusade Execut- ive and committee members met at the Colonial Hotel, Grand Bend, for dinner to get acquainted with the evangelist, Ralph Bell. Already a number of persons were unable to att- end because of the snow block- ed roads. In spite of the storm the Sunday evening meeting was well attended. Continuing snow, however, made it nec- essary to cancel the Monday evening service, but from then Many Advantages To Using Honey Every Day Honey is a natural sweeten- er that offers a nutritious, easily digested, quick source of energy. As well as simple sugars, honey contains at least eight minerals, some vitamins and traces of protein. Honey has a sweetening pow- er equal to that of sugar and it may be used in the same ways: as a sweetener for cer- eal, fruits and beverages, to make glazes for meats or veg- etables, in sauces and salad dressings, for preserving, in confections and in baking. In baked products, honey not only lends its distinctive flavor to cakes, cookies and breads, it also helps keep them fresh long- er. For the best results in bak- ed products, food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ont- ario Department of Agriculture and Food, recommend recipes specially developed for the use of honey. Honey is at the ultimate whei uses as is: as a spread for bread or muffins, drizzled over not waffles and pancakes, or pour- ed over fried chicken. pet foods SHUR-GAIN DOG FOOD.

The Friday evening at Exeter High School was also well attended. On Friday morning, 6:30 a. m. , some forty people met for a prayer breakfast. Reeve Gordon Mess spoke briefly of future plans for physical and material development in our particular areas along the lake. Mr. Bell shared his concern for the need of a spiritual dim- ension in every area of life. Each evening, Mr. Bell, in his humble forthright present- ation of the Word of God, challenged his hearers to a complete commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord. His thesis based on a key expression, "What the Bible says, " was that man is a sinner and needs a saviour. Man is by nature sinful and finds no release un- til he rests in Christ as Lord. Modern psychology over -emph- asizes environment and mal- adjustment, and fails to rec- ognize sin as the basic prob- lem. Immorality, passion, drugs and sex on the part of the teenager, always end in disappointment and defeat. Mr. Bell said, "God is leading this conquest. But be- fore we can do something for God we must. let God do some- thing for us. " i his definition of a Christian, he said, "churcl; membership, baptism, and doing the best one knows is no proof of Christianity. Rather a Christian has become such as a result of a personal choice, a definite act of the will. He is a person who has been chang- ed from the inside out. He accepts God's challenge. He no longer insists on his own way. His ego has been dethron- ed. He let's God call the shots in his life." Each evening, Mr. Bell gave opportunity for individ- uals to respond to God's call by taking a public stand for Christ, Quite a number respond- ed and received help. In all, the one apparent desire of the evangelist as he presented God's word was that men and women, boys and girls might find true meaning and fulfil- ment in life by acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord. The Crusade was a venture of faith. The elements in the form of a snow -storm were a faith -challenge to co-chairman Douglas Warren, of Crediton and Cyril Gingerich, of Zur- ich. In spite of these facts, and one cancelled meeting, the budget was more than met and above budget givings will be divided between the Grah- am Association and the Canad- ian Bible Society. The choir consisting of vol- unteers from local denominat- ions under the leadership of Norman Tait of Hensall, the local singing groups, solos and instrumentals including some from Stratford, Waterloo and St. Jacobs shared in the service each night. The plat- form arrangements and floral contributions helped to provide for a worship experience. Mrs. Irvin Snider and Miss Louise Talbot served as pianists for the Crusade. What was accomplished by this Crusade? Spiritual accomp- lishments are always difficult to evaluate. That faith was strengthened and conviction sharpened no one would deny. Whatever has been accomplish- ed God alone is worthy of hon- or. LIVESTOCK SHIPPING TO TORONTO UNION STOCK YARDS Dunn and Levack Every Monday All Loads Fully Insured !
