It was a log building dedieated in the name of Si, Patrick (til1 the only St Patrick's church in the diocese •of lite ren). Before this time, services were held in various "homes in the coremenity under the lead- ership of the Rev, Stearns Tighe, who was also respore sible for establishing the churches of SL James, Clap- deboye; St, Mark s, McGilli- vray', and. the Anglican church 14 Exeter, The church was built on the half -acre of ground, part. of lot 6, concession 4, Biddulph, don- ated to the church society of the diocese of }Iuron ey John and Margaret Smyth M April of 1860. The log church was in use until late 1893 when the new and more commodious brick structure, the present building, was erected M its place. The pioneers of this community hauled brick for the church with horses and wagon from Crediton brick. yards, , Among those active in the work of the church in those early years and whose names appear in synod reports were Patrick Jameson, William Da- vis, Michael Fox and James Brownlee. Ministers during this Period were Reverends Tighe, J. P. Hinks, G. Keys and I Barr. Amid the many changes of the years following, the work of. worship and. witness conti- nued steadfastly. Erect parish hall In 1909, because of the in- creased attendance, it became necessary to build an addition to the church to serve as par- ish hall and. Sunday School. This is known as the "Racy Memorial Hall," in recogni- tion of the rector at that time, Rev. G. N. Racey, The build.' ing was erected ender the di- rection of one of the young men of the congregation, a brick layer and grandson of the donor of the land, Edgar B. Smyth, presently of Midland, Ont. Aaron Davis and Mrs. Phineas Dickins were the war- dens and Thomas Dickins the lay delegate to synod. In connection with the Sun- day School, special mention must be made of the faithful and dedicated service of Miss Liza Jane David and Miss Moore for whose f a mily Mooresville corner was named. Four of those who served as superintendents to the Sunday School. are William Turner, Nasseau Davis and Earl Atkin- son, Mrs. Heber Davis and 'Mrs. Lorne Weiberg who is superintendent at the present. The Sunday School was the last major addition. Since that time the congregatiohs have kept the buildings in good. re- pair. Two frame sheds used in the horse and buggy days were moved from the site several years aeen. In 191 a new oil. heating sys em was installed to re- placethe old brick furnace during the incumbency of Ca- non R. W. James and Mrs, Jame s and, in 1053, an exten- sive program of repair and in- terior decorationwas under- taken and. completed with the assistance of Rev. R. 0. D. Salmond, with Rev, M. R.

Auction selling of eggs by - teletype is the latest idea to be studied by the Ontario Poul- try Producers Association. This organization which rep- resents egg producers in On- tario, has been developing a marketing plan for eggs dur- ing the past two years. The possibility of using teletype, perhaps similar to the system introduced into hog marketing in this province this year, caused the directors to take a fresh look at their plans. A special. meeting of the board of directors was held in Toronto on June 28 with .repre- seneativee from Bell Telephone Camper Sr, the organization which developed the system for the hog marketing board. The hog sales system was re- viewed and discussion centred around the difficulties facing the egg industry in Ontario.' The poultry producers as- sociation directors set up a special committee to continue studies on the usefulness of an auction system with the tele- type method of communication as part of it. "For the immediate future," says Tom Robson, president of the organization, "we may de- lay our other plans slightly until we have an opportunity to study this new idea. We are hopeful, however, that some system can be found very soon, which will put the egg industry on a sound basis." bull '83, J. Hale '85, W. P. Ireland '87, if, D. Steele '89, R. S. Cooper '95, G.

Don't be in too big a .hurry when refuelling your tractor if the engine is hot or running. Better shut it off and let it cool down, advises Hal Wright, farm safety specialist of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture. In 1960, 54 farm tractors burned while being refuelled. The gasoline vapours, being heavier than air, flow down over the hot manifold and elec- trical equipment; they may ignite. ills Flies Fast! 0•55c kdis in4 hours Kills oil resistent flies 'Co'lons rnoiatbor (end DJ) P 24 o: , lb •drd 5 Ib c n EXETER Phone lel Collect • v
