WHAT ABOUT
MEW
• ••••••••••••,••••
Subject For Discussion At Farm
Forum On Monday Evening
Chemurgy is a fancy word that was
invented in 1933 to designate the scien-
ce of converting farm products to in-
dustrial use. It seemed to promise
great things in the depression years
of the thirties as wheat surpluses got
ever bigger and markets for all kinds
of farm produce fell off.
Actually the practice of chemurgy
is quite old. ' Our pioneer ancestors
knew many chemurgic tricks. They
made woollen yarn and homespun
cloth from sheep's wool, They made
cider vinegar from apples, soap from
household fats and leather from cow-
hide. But it wasn't untilthe 1930's that
that the "chemurgists" got organized
and chemurgic research was seriously
undertaken.
During the war years farmers were
working overtime producing food and
they had no worries about markets.
But now that the war is over and the
markets may again become uncertain,
farmers are asking themselves "What
about Chemurgy?" This topic will be
discussed in National Farm Radio For-
um on Monday, December 9th,
The industrial use of farm products
may run along three main lines:
1. New uses for surplus or low-qual-
ity products, e.g. alcohol from
wheat.
2. Industrial crops to supply exist-
ing or new needs, e.g., soybeans
and sunflowers for vegetable oils.
3. Profitable uses for farm, by-pro-
ducts and wastes,:e.g., cardboard
from straw.
Of these three, the second seems ,to
be on the soundest basis. Tobacco,
sugar beets, soybeans are all industrial
crops that have proved their worth.
Other that show promise are sunflow-
ers, fibre flax, and the starch crops,
corn, wheat, potatoes,
As far as "surplus" and "waste" pro-
ducts are concerned there are some
serious handicaps. Surpluses are ir-
regular and hence an unreliable sour-
ce of raw material for industry. Besid-
es if everybody in the world had en-
ough to eat there would be no surplus-
es. Waste products are usually ex-
pensive raw materials for manufacture
because of collection and transporta-
tion costs. Flowever some farm-pro-
ducts are valuable in industry. For
example, casein is used for plastics.
Whey is used in the manufacture of
pen 'cillin.
Chemurgy does not now seem to be
the fairy godmother it seemed in de-
pression years. Nevertheless both ag-
riculture and industry will most cer-
tainly be the richer for same chemurg-
ic developments,

MODERATOR SPOKE
AT UNITED CHURCH
Service Broadcast Listened To By All
Churches Of the Presbytery
The ever increasing value of radio
broadcasting in the realm of religion,
was manifested in Wingham United
Church, on Sunday morning, when Rt.
Rev. T. W. Jones, the newly elected
Moderator of the United ,Church of
Canada and pastor of Calvary United
Church in Montreal, was the special
speaker. In each of the 37 United
Churches in Huron County that have
morning service, a radio had been in-
stalled, so that all the people in those
churches could join in the same ser-
vice. They sang the same hymns,
joined in the prayers, and listened to
the message of the Moderator as the
whole service was broadcast over radio
station CKNX from Wingham United
Church. The details were planned by
Rev. W. A. Beecroft and station
CKNX. The service was in charge of
Huron Presbytery, presided over by
Rev. Gordon Hazelwood of Walton,
past chairman.
Mr. Jones is a forceful and convin-
cing speaker. His first message was
to the children, when he drew their
attention to the new Canadian nickel.
On this nickel is inscribed a section of
the Morse code, which when spelled
out, reads, "We win when we work
willingly." His talk to the adults was
based on the words of Jesus, found in
Luke 5:4, "Launch out into the deep
and let down your nets for a draught."
He emphasized that each individual
must launch out, and, to do so, he
must have fellowship with God, faith
in God and do service for God, Furth-
ermore, the church must launch out
with a better understanding of the
needs of the young people; a deeper
interest in the vexing problems of the
day and a broader view of internation-
al relations. The Moderator closed
with an appeal to the people of.Huron
to launch out and march with Christ
to victory.
A large choir under the leadership
of Mr. A. W. Anderton, rendered the
anthem, "I am Alpha and Omega", by
Stainer.
Huron is the first Presbytery in
Canada to attempt a united radio ser-
vice. Many telephone calls and mes-
sages of congratulation have been re-
ceived from different churches thro-
ughout the county, telling of the splen-
did reception.
While in Wingham, the Moderator
was the guest of Rev. W.-A. and Mrs,
Beecroft, at the parsonage.

BOXING DAY TO BE [CARMAN COUTTS
OBSERVED HERE ES APPOINTMENT
Interesting little articles under this
title have been appearing regularly of
late on the editorial page of our paper
and as a result, we are all learning
more of our town about which there
are many fine things which we fail to
appreciate 'because we live so close to
them.
There are other beautiful things
about Wingham which we all to fre-
quently overlook. One of them is the
very warm spot former Winghamites
have in their heart for the old home
town. Some years ago when an active
Chamber of Commerce was raising
money for new uniforms for our Cit-
izens' Band a former resident of these
parts, now the Hon. Russell T. Kelley,
sent a nice contribution. Since Wing-
ham cmmenced to raise money for our
new Hospital Building our town has
been kindly remembered by several
former citizens through very substan-
tial subscriptions to the building fund,
Former citizens who gave to this fund
through the use of the Hospital "In
Memory" Plaque to commemorate de-
parted and beloved parents, Mr. Bert
Ross, of Chicago, Ills; Dr. Ernest Link.,
later, of Noranda, Quebec; Mr, Robt,
H. King of Montreal, Quo,; Mr, David
Angus, Haileybtiry, Ontario; and the
following ineinbers of the Copeland
family who used this means as a fam-
ily method of remembrance. Mrs, W.
Gs Pennington, (Laura); of Winnipeg,
Man.; Mrs. W. D. Button, (Lulu), of
Moose Jaw, Sask., Chester R., of Lon-
don, Ontario; Arley K., of Windsor,
Ontario.
Then in last week's Advance-Times
there is the story of Mrs. W. G. Col-
lison (nee Miss Alba Chisholm), of
Lindsay, who sent $100.00 for a Life
Membership in the Hospital Associa-
tion, and at the same time helping to
pay off the $18,000,00 still owing on
our beautiful $200,000.00 hospital.
In the light of this shining example
set by former residents of Wingham,
whose assistance to our Hospital is so
entirely ttnseTth, we at home should
deem it a privilege indeed to be a mon,
ber of our Hospital Association. Your
membership fee may be mailed to Mr.
W. H. French, Treasurer, Hospital
Bldg. Fund, Wingbam, Ontario. $100
for Life Membership, $25,00 for &x
years, $5.00 for one year. If inconven-
ient to use the mail just leave your
subscription at the bank, Will your
name he on that list of Association
members to be published soon?
Will the people who have been in
the habit of renting strings of Christ-
mas lights please note that we will not
be able to take orders for same, as col-
oured lamps are not available as yet
and we have only enough to decorate
the community trees.

decent citizens of them."

WOMAN DIES FROM
RESULT OF BURNS
Mrs. Roy Maize Victim Of Tragic
Accident
A tragic accident occurred on. Mon-
day evening about six o'clock, result-
ing in the death of Mrs, Roy Maize, at
her home on North Street, Winghani.
Mr, Maize, who is employed by Mr...
John Falconer
'
on arriving home found
the house full of smoke, and rushing
to the kitchen found his wife uncon-
scious in a chair with her clothing on
fire. He immediately extinguished the
fire and called their neighbour, Mrs.
John Walker, and Dr. W. A. Crawford,
but nothing could be done for her.
It is thought that she had placed the
tea kettle on the stove and in doing
so, her clothing became ignited from
the open stove door. Being partially
crippled with rheumatism, she had
tried to beat out the fire and fallen
back into a chair a few feet from the
stove.
Mrs. Maize, who is 59 years of age,.
came with her husband to Wingham.
about one year ago from Dungannon.
The body was taken to the Davidson
Funeral Parlours, Lucknow, and later
to the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Clifford Crozier at Dungannon, from
where the funeral will be held.
The sympathy of the community is
extended to the family, and to her sis-
ter, Mrs. Alton of town.
