We have been very fortunate here in having Christmas visitors, treats for the residents brought in by various churches and other organizations and programs which all helps them to realize that Christmas is not far away. On Monday evening, the res- idents enjoyed an hour of Christ- mas films followed by coffee. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Lawrence Wein visited the res- idents and joined with them in the dining room to sing Christ- mas carols. On Wednesday afternoon, the CGIT girls of the Exeter United Church accompanied by leaders, parents of the children, Rev. Glen Wright and Rev. Harold Snell. Theybrought with them a variety of delicious desserts for the evening meal which they served. During the time the residents were eating, the child- ren sang Christmas carols and Mr. Cecil Skinner and Rev. Harold Snell played their violins accompanied by Rev. Wright on the trumpet. Following the meal. the children visited with the residents. On Friday evening a large number of friends and family members gathered with the res- idents to help them enjoy their annual Christmas party. Refresh- ments were served throughout the evening and the entertain- ment was supplied by Mrs. Bill Masse and Mr. Clare Masse, both of Dashwood area and the Henderson sisters of Seaforth. Mrs. Henderson presided at the piano and accompanied Donna, Debbie and Darlene who sang several Christmas songs, also favoured with tap dance numb- ers. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Rev. Clayton Kuepfer of the Zurich Mennonite Church. Miss Audrey Gingerich played the accord- ian and the members of the MYF presented the musical part of the program. The young people of the Christian Reform Church, Exeter, also provided a Christmas program for the resid- ents during the evening. Farmers Union is concerned about land The Christian Farmers Federa- tion of Ontario has predicted that provincial incentives to municipalities will not be enough to stop the disappearance of prime food land under concrete and asphalt, in a sub -mission to the Honourable William New- man, Ontario's Minister of Agri- culture and Food. The Executive Board of the province -wide general farm organization presented the Minister with a major statement of the Christian farmers' concerns on November 25. 'We appreciate the concern being shown about our disappear- ing food lend by the Minister and the people in his Ministry', says Elbert van Donkersgoed, Execu- tive Director of the Federation. 'But we pointed out that this is not enough. We need firm pro- vincial guidelines, not just incent- ives. Agriculture is a provincial responsibility. It is too big a responsibility with which to burden our local municipalities.' The Federation's brief also urges an end to the `no question's asked' policy when it eomes to allowing farmers to sever food land for their own housing. The Federation argues that the same rules should apply to farmers as all others in society. The Federation brief criticizes those who are holding up the development of good land use plans by demanding compensa- tion for speculative development rights. The Federation believes that the interests of family "farmers and speculators are di- rectly opposed to each other and that no loss of development rights should be compensated. 'We were also concerned', says Mr. van Donkersgoed, 'that the throne speech announcement of grants for industrial parks may cause bigger problems for Southwestern Ontario's food land. But we received some as- surance that these grants would be directed to non-food land areas'. Obituary CHARLES F. PILGRIM Charles F.
