In Canada El ONE YEAR $9.00 MR. MRS. MISS. PLEASE PRINT ADDRESS SIGN MY GIFT CARD... DONOR'S FULL NAME I " ADDRESS Charles Walkon of TharnesvieW United Church, Fullar ton, charged at the recent Huron- Perth Presbytery meeting that a few clergy who live in urban areas of the province are giving the impression that the in- stitutional church is anti-farmer, These remarks were expressed as Mr. Walkon presented a statement on the recent boycott movements of California grapes and lettuce. He asked that Huron-Perth Presbytery, being in a rural area, protest such boycotting, by some Canadian churches. Failing that, he asked that at least each member of Presbytery, gather as much information as possible on the issue and decide for himself whether to join the boycott or not, Since this presentation was near the end of the meeting, Presbytery decided to send a 48 with 1,038 reactors to brucellosis removed from herds. By September 1974, 337 herds under quarantine and 3,168 reactors showed up. A cattle breeder interested in the export market may consider it unwise to vaccinate against the disease, he said, "but we believe breeders should be encouraged to vaccinate." Stewart predicted the dairy 'industry will be one of the most stable in the future because of a short supply of dairy products. He said the farmer must be fair to the consumer by allowing public participation in the milk industry. The Minister suggested con- sumers should be represented on government marketing boards and the Milk Marketing Com- mittee but not on commodity boards. According to Mr. Stewart, the recent appointment of Mayor Robin Jeffrey to the Milk Com- mission and Ruth Jackson of Kitchener to the Farm Products Marketing Board were steps to alleviate the current backlash against all marketing boards. Speaking about the supply of fertilizer for 1975 growing season Stewart urged farmers not to order without a soil and fertility test to know exactly which type is best. He also suggested a second look should be taken at the use of fertilizer for parkg, golf courses and green areas. By MRS. J.

For Rural Ontario", was the theme of a two day symposium that Mrs, Evelyn Demaray of Bluevale, Henry Davey of Monkton, and Rev. Bert Daynard of Staffa, attended in October, They reported that The Hon. William Stewart, Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, and Dr. Pleva, of the georgraphy department of the University of Western Ontario, attended this event and gave excellent presentations. They said that Mr, Stewart challenged the church by asking that it give leadership and prepare people for the new way of life facing rural Ontario, Rev. Daynard reported that Dr. Pleva was no less demanding when he said that the church needs to have a say in land use, and in particular emphasize that the top priority is for agriculture. The church's role is made even more important, noted Rev. Daynard, since man is still both the problem and the corrective device to the solution to the dwindling life support resources. Dr. Pleva called for the church to study what attracts people to rural areas, and then try to preserve those values, In conclusion Rev, Daynard noted that the United Church of Canada has set up a Committee on Agriculture and Food. The highlight of the meeting was the visit of the President of London Conference, Rev. Dr, Allen Churchill, and his wife Helen, of St. Andrews United Church, Chatham. Dr. Churchill, a former R.C.M,P. Officer, has been termed by the United Church's national magazine, the Observer, as "the new look of evangelism in the church." He spoke to delegates on the theme, "Where is the Church going? Does it have a future?" Dr. Churchill assured members that it does have a future because it is a place of new birth, life and human warmth. The power that the church seeks is the basic gospel message. He noted that in this respect, there is a new interest today by other faiths in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Thus, he told the clergy to "go on with your preaching, share in-person Jesus, and point people to him, Your job is not to be successful, but to be fa AithisfouL" present was Mr. Neil Campbell, Dean of Westminster College, recently in the news as the result of a fire.

Stewart in Kirkton, Friday night. Stewart was the guest speaker at a banquet honouring Ross Marshall as the retiring president of the Holstein-Friesian Association. The Minister urged farmers to have all female breeding stock vaccinated between the ages of three and nine months to stop the spread of brucellosis. He said the contagious disease was becoming prevalent in Ontario. Stewart said the disease has re- appeared in Western Ontario within the last year after becoming almost extinct after a 15 year program of vaccination up to 1964. It spreads rapidly and causes numerous abortions in cattle.' The number of herds under quarantine at the end of 1973 was C.CC(nii*CCiiiWri:tCC.C.C.COW.CriiVCCR.WACCC.C.WPACC!.
