Hensail Livestock Show
Attracts Outstanding Exhibits
“We’re gradually removing con
trols, and you may be surprised at
how soon they will disappear,” said
Hon. James Gardiner, Dominion
Minister of Agriculture, speaking
at the annual Hensall Spring Stock
Show at Hensall last Friday after
noon.
Choosing butter as an illustration
of a controlled commodity, Mr,
Gardiner declared that he himself
would prefer to see the storage and
marketing of butter controlled by
voluntary farm organizations, ra
ther than having the controls im
posed from above by government
fiat.
“Butter is about the only farm
product that we produce in Can
ada that we do not produce in
sufficient quantity to feed our own
people,” said Mr. Gardiner. “At
the same time we produce butter
in this country
months of May,
August in almost
tity that we can
months. ’
Two AX'ays With Surplus
There are two ways, he observed,
in which the surplus from peak
production months can be econ
omically carried over for consump
tion during the months when but
ter production is low. ’ The pro
ducers themselves, he said, can co
operate to
butter; or
co-operative
ment could
control of butter produced during
the four-montli peak each year.
“To my mind,” said Mr. Gardin
er, “the most practical way to have
it done is to have the producers
organize themselves to carry the
risk.” Legislation exists, he said,
which provides for help in fin
ancing the storage of butter; he
estimated that an advance in price
of three-eighths of a cent per
pound, per month of storage,
should give a reasonable return
to the storage

breeders, carried away the special
prize for the best beef herd or

than had been anticipated by the
directors, Timed so that in a nor

with the urgent need of many
farmers to complete long-delayed
sowing. —continued on page 3,

Rev. Hunt Gives
Farewell Sermon
Caven Presbyterian, Main St. and
James St. United churches joined
with Trivitt Memorial church ✓Sun
day evening in paying tribute to
Rev. M. A. Hunt, who on that oc
casion was preaching his farewell
sermon after a successful ministry
of. fifteen years. The church was
filled for the occasion. Mr. Hunt
spoke of the many pleasant years in
Exeter, of the pleasant associations
formed, of the splendid co-operation
'between his fellow ministers. He
paid tribute to Mrs. Hunt to whom
he attributed much of the success
of his ministry.
Mr. Hunt took for the theme of
his sermon, “Jesus Christ Himself.”
The greatest treasure of the Church
is Jesus. The greatest fact of Chris
tianity is that Christ died for our
sins. This has been the outstanding
message
speaker,
turo in

formed
When we view the stars we ask
what is there up there. There are
only two answers, God or chance.
Having finished with looking at
nature and the stars there is some
thing far more infinite—there is
man. iMan with his power tn think
and to choose is greater than ali
the other creations. Man has with
in him a power most like God. Man
has the power to bring down heaven
to earth or lift up earth to heaven
and that power is love. Christianity
is Christ and Christ is life. Chris
tianity is 'the tie that binds us to
God and is the only thing that will
break down the barriers of hate,
selfishness and suspicion of the na
tions of the world. The coming of
Jesus Christ into the world has
changed the whole complexion of
life. Do unto others as you would
that they should do unto you, is
Christ’s teaching. In Jesus Christ
is life and his life is the light of
man.
During the offertory Mr. Allan
Elston sang “The Holy City.”
Mr. and Mrs. Hunt are moving
this week to Mitchell where Mr.
Hunt will become the rector of the
Trinity Anglican church. While in
Exeter Mr. and Mrs. Hunt have
taken a keen interest not only in
their parish work but in everything
that pertained to the welfare of
Exeter and its citizens. They leave
with a warm spot in the hearts of
many friends who will wish for
them success and happiness in their
new charge.
The new rector who will assume
his duties next Sabbath morning,
is Rev. C. L. Langford, B.A., M.A.,

Board to Consider
Ratepayers* Objections
A meeting was held in the Town
Hall Friday morning of last week;
presided over by Clerk C. V. Pick- j
ard for the purpose of receiving'
any objections to the proposal of j
the municipal council for the erection of fifty wartime houses in !
Exeter at a capital expenditure of '
$16,ODD to be provided for by deb-!
enture spread over fifteen years. ■
Members of the council were pres
ent and Reeve B. W. Tuckey out- ]
lined the steps that had been taken ■
by the council, first to assure them-!
selves that the fifty wartime houses
were needed and the terms and
conditions under which Wartime
Housing would erect the houses.
Several voiced their objection to
the debentures being issued with
out a vote of the ratepayers. An
other objection was that a munici
pality the size of Exeter should be '
asked to subsidize for housing for
airforce personnel which should be !
the duty of the government. The j
objections were forwarded to the j
Municipal Board in Toronto and
Clerk C. V- Pickard and Council
lor W. C. Allison appeared before
the Board in Toronto Tuesday. The
Municipal Board have promised
their decision in the mattei- within
a few days.

Clothing Shipped
A goodly supply of second
clothing, canned goods and
kets, with a total -weight of
lbs. was shipped from Exeter
London for the Ontario
Flood relief. Clothing and
goods were packed in 34
and there were two bales
kets. The trucking was done with
out charge by the Tuckey Trans
port. The drive for food and
clothing is now over but the cam
paign for cash donations will con
tinue. While the contributions
have been liberal the local com
mittee feels that it has not met
with the whole-hearted support
that the people of Britain so rich
ly deserve. If any individual or
"organization has been delaying the
matter it is hoped they will act
soon. Contributions received since
the list was last published are:
with a gift. Both Mr. and Mrs.' Hunt
expressed their appreciation and
spoke of the happy years spent in
Exeter. Guest soloists were Mrs.
Margaret Fletcher and Mrs. Thos.
Coates, and Mr. Allan Elston sang
accompanied by Mrs. Geddes. Canon
and Mrs. James were present from
Kirkton and Rev. and Mrs. Mervin
Elston were also present. Mr. James
and Mr. Elston spoke briefly. Lunch
was served at the close by the
ladies.
