The boards become a sham when the government, through the farm products marketing board, begins to dictate policy," He said a milk marketing board policy of transferable milk quotas - the sale of quotas by one producer to another - could give wealthy producers a stranglehold on the industry.

Longeterm government pol- icies to raise farm incomes are needed to arrest the decline of Ontario's agricultural industry, Murray Gaunt, M.P,F. forHur- oneBrece warned in the legisla- ture Tuesday. lie said quick action is es- sential or consumers will face shortages of some farm produce. Mr. Gaunt said the prices of farm products rose only 0, t3 per cent between 1949 and 1965, but retail food prices climbed 35,9 per cent in the same per- iod. lie also asserted the farmer's share of every dollar spent on food at the retail level has dropped to 36 cents from 58 cents in 1949. The Liberals' farm critic said the findings of a six-man committee now investigating farm incomes must receive swift attention from the govern- ment if it is to serve any useful purpose. He noted its report is expected in June and said his party will not permit the gov- ernment to shelve it. The study resulted from a farm conference sponsored by the provincial government at Vineland last fall. Symbols indicating service centres, tourist reception cen- tres, government camp sites, first aid posts and hospitals not only meet the general needs of the motorist but assure him of emergency facilities when re- quired.

This is evident from a special report on the achievement of these stud- ents that has been issued by the university. The report also shows that the majority of these students plan to attend univer- sity for more than three semes- ters - Spring, Fall, and Winter - in a row. These Spring Admissions students are pioneers. They are the first Ontario students to start their university careers in Ap- ril. They are the first to fol- low an accelerated university study program whereby they can earn a Bachelor's degree up to one year earlier than under the traditional system. They are the first Ontario students to en- Mr, Gaunt also criticized the government role in farm marketing, charging that mar- keting boards are state-control- led rather than producer-con- trolled. He suggested that the farm products marketing board -- the government's supervisory agency -- still doesn't under- stand its proper role. "This board must make ,sure that marketing boards across the province operate within the confines of the legislation," he said, "but I must protest strong- of right relationships among people. This is Christian re- conciliation and was the real ministry of Christ in the world. Our mission must expand be- yond the four walls of the church into the community and beyond the community into the world, the speaker said. Rev. G. Hunter was ac- companied by Mr. and Mrs. C. Ng and young son of Hong Kong who are presently doing post- graduate study in Toronto. Mrs. Orville Harrison of Monkton gave the courtesy re- marks and thanked all for the part they took in the day's ac- tivities. She thanked Mrs. Beecroft for her effective lea- dership as president in the past two years. Mrs. Beecroft gave her closing remarks. Mrs.Geo.

With the approval of the Department of Education they were not required to write the Grade 13 Departmental Examin- ations. The University of Guelph is the only university in Ontario on a three-semester system; as a result, it is the only provincial university where a Spring Ad- missions program is possible. The report shows that 96 per- cent of the students successful- ly completed their first semes- ter. One student withdrew and only four repeated the semester. Twenty-one percent of the group achieved First Class hon- ors; 54% received Second Class honors. Tables in the report show student progress by degree program and actual courses. The students entered the first year of the B.A., B.Sc., B.H. Sc. and B. Sc. (Agr.) programs A common observation of faculty members was thaestud- ents in the Spring Admissions program exhibited more self- confidence and seemed more certain of their ability to suc- ceed in university studies than did most groups of freshmen, The conscientious manner in which the students attended to their assignments also was not- ed by a number of professors. The first report issued last summer described in detail the students who chose to partici- pate in this experimental pro- gram. It was entitled "Who are they? Why did they come?" The third report now being compiled will compare statis- tically the results of the Spring Admissions group with other students who entered the Uni- versity of Guelph in the Fall of 1966 on the basis of their Grade 13 Departmental Examination results. The Spring Admissions Pro- gram which was started in Ap- ril 1966 at the University of Guelph, drew students from all over the province. Students came from 139 different sec- ondary schools in Ontario. About 28 percent came from cities in which a university is located. A considerable pro- portion - 42 percent - of the students came from communi- ties with a population under 5, - 000. This joint undertaking of the University of Guelph and the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education is expected to be of considerable interest and value in charting future programs for education in Canada.

AFTERNOON SESSION The afternoon session open- ed with a very interesting Cen- tennial pageant, "Vignettes of the Church in Canada, Past, Present, Future". This depict- ed the growth of the church in Canada in the last century. The cast was dressed in costumes suitable for their parts. They represented the Indians, the fur traders, the first priest, the first Protestant minister, the early settlers, the women gathering to form the first ladies' church groups, the church's part in education when Rev. 'Edgerton Ryerson started colleges as a means to train ministers. The pageant continued on to the present and what we shall try to do in the future. Centennial songs were sung by a choir from members in Huron which clos- ed with the centennial hymn composed by Mrs. R. DuVal of Wingham. Miss Iva Mai Smith was organist for the day. Mrs. H. Brown of Blyth directed the choir. Highlight of the day was the challenging address by Rev. Gordon Hunter of Asbury and West United Church, Toronto. He stated that today's church must be the church in the world. One of the phrases he does not allow to be used in his church is "Church work". Church work is dangerous, new er get involved in it — in con- trast is "The work of the church" which is the witness and ministry of the church in the world of men and women. "We must express the love of God in relevant terms in this day of social revolutions and technological change': he said. One way to do this is to really listen to what people are say- ing and be prepared to help them through loving concern. Another way is to be a creator SURPRISE PARTY WROXETER—Mr. and Mrs. William Merkley were honored by their family and relativeson the occasion of their 40th wed- ding anniversary, when a Sur- prise party was held Saturday evening at the home of Mr.and Mrs. George Merkley.
