Greetings from Presbytery
Ontario Hydro Hydro is to be allowed
to expropriate certain lands re-
quired for relocation of a C.P. rail
line to make way for the cOntrover
sial dam near Arnprior.
However, it has been refused
the go-ahead it sought to acquire
other land it needed to use only
during the dam construction and
for a transmission line for which
Hydro had no firm plans.
Hydro may reapply for expro-
priation of further land when it
Can more precisely slate how
much land it needs and where the
transmission line will be built.
Otherwise, the way is cleared for
the $50 million dam.
What would we do if it came to
pass that most of our milk and
milk products would have to be
imported? How much would we
have to pay then for milk? Silly
question? Not so very silly as it
might appear at first. Thousands
of milk producers are leaving this
part of farming every year. Up to
now much has been salvaged by
greater efficiency by the pro-
ducer, but how long will that be
possible? Mr. Pigeon, president
of the Dairy Farmers of Canada
said recently that young men in
his area are going to the factories
and make from $175 to $200 per
week. 'Why, ' he asks, 'should a
young man invest about $200,000.
in a farni, work twice as long and
get less money?' The dairy man
has to receive a better income or
sooner than you think we will
have to pay import prices,
David Lewis' accusations
against food retailers making
unjustified high profits are
echoed by America's Agriculture
Secretary Earl Butz. 'Prices of
major farm commodities have
dropped 20 to 40% since January
and Febrtiaty, It is high time that
these lower fatni prices Show up
1 to...111tIC
Environment Minister William
Newman confirmed the Inquiry
Officer's finding that Hydro's
evidence about how much land it
needed and for what purposes.
was 'vague and unconvincing.'
Ontario Housing Minister 'Sid-
ney Handleman said this week
that house prices are on the way
down and will bring savings that
will reach buyers on lower
incomes. He attributed this to the
Province's new Land Speculation
Tax.
However, the Opposition point-
ed out that the facts do not seem
to bear this out as housing costs
rose 6% within the area •covered
more fully in lower retail store
prices. While food prices at stores
have levelled off some, margins
are still higher than normal.'
These are harsh words from the
USA's highest agricultural offi-
cial.
Food prices dropped some, if
not in the proportion of farm
prices. April food costs in the
house dropped a fraction, while
food prices at the farm dropped
like a brick. A price freeze, as
advocated by the Conservatives
would freeze my price at the farm
to bring me right into bankruptcy.
It is interesting to note that the
overall food cost went up. This is
because the cost of eating out
increased by almost two percent.
This however is not a true food
cost, but a service cost. Statistics
Canada rates it as a food cost.
Mrs. Plurntree, of the Food
Prices Review Board, said that:
'Farmers hicomes are up 89 %,
but as recently as three years ago,
farmers were not getting any
return on labour and investment,
and even today dairy farmers are
nut always getting a return. This
is why the cost of dairy produce
going up,'
been met.
Mrs, Mel Ritchie introduced
guest speaker Mrs. J.M. Burnett,
Council President, who, in the
afternoon, spoke on What is
discipleship?, and in the evening
showed slides of her world tour as
she commented interestingly on
them. She pointed out that
discipleship involves loyalty to a
cause, expects the responsibility
of service, shares faith, gives
love, makes use of one's talents,
has a job to do, makes use of each
opportunity, requires much of
each of us, gives a need to exist.
Duets by Mrs. Alvin Mundell
and Mrs. Bruce Darling, also by
Misses Flora Simpson and Diane
MacKenzie added to the enjoy-
ment of the day.
In Memoriam ,for those mem-
bers who have passed on was
conducted by Mrs. Barr, Kin-
lough. Mrs. Jas. West and Mrs.
Colin Macintosh gave the offera-
tory prayers, while closing
prayers were taken by Mrs.
Young, Langside, and Miss Sadie
Johnston .
The meeting regreted the
by the Toronto Real Estate Board
in the month of April.
' Premier William Davis said
there are no plans to review or
stall the increase in gasoline
prices 'at the moment', but he
could not see any reason for
prices going up as much as they
will in the .next few days, more
'than 9c a gallon for at least 3
brands.
It was estimated that the stock
of oil and oil products produced at
the old price would last until
mid-May.
Mr., Davis told the Legislature
he found it hard to understand an
increase beyond the rough 7c that
was agreed to at the Ottawa
conference six weeks ago.
Ontario residents pay a total of
$44 million for each lc increase in
the price of a gallon of gasoline
and fuel.
The Provincial tax on gasoline
is 19c a gallon.
The Ontario Government has
changed its mind for the second
time and decided denturists
should be allowed to work inde-
pendent of supervision by den-.
Lists if they pass qualifying
examinations.
Health Minister Frank Miller
said that the denturists who wrote
the examination to qualify to work
under dentists now will be able to
work independently. However,
they will have to pass upgrading
examinations when they are set.
Denture therapists will not be
allowed to make partial dentures
except under dentists' supervi-
sion. They will be restricted to full
upper and lower plates for fitting
in a mouth where no teeth remain
in the Upper or lower jaw, or both.
Making a partial denture is a
much more complicated proced-
ure than making a full plate
according to Mr. Miller because
of possible problems With adja-
cent teeth and so this work should
be supervised by a dentist.

enough; C.O.C. and Explorers
