The Wingham Advance-Times, 1946-12-05, Page 917. 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, Hydro Poles Snapped On Tuesday about noon, with the roads a bit sliPpery, a car hit two hy- dro poles on Diagonal Road, snapping them Off.

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.

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.
