Farm population drops sharply in five years Fewer than 1.5 million Cana- dians lived on_farms in 1971, Stat- istics Canada reported today, in.a publication showing population, tenure, age and residence of operator and other details col- lected in the 1971 Census of Agri- culture. The . new population figures represent a. drop of 24 per cent since 1966 and means that less than seven per cent of Canadians now live. on . farms, compared with 10 per cent in 1966 and 12 per cent in 1961. The sharpest decline was re- corded in New Brunswick, whith showed a loss of 47 per cent of its farm population between 1966 and 1971, dropping 27,453 from 52,042. ,• The number of farm operators not living on their land increased to 40,154 in 1971 from 35,226 in 1966, or from eight per cent Of all farm operators to 11 per cent. Saskatchewan had the highest proportion of non-resident opera- tors at 24 per cent, and Nova Scotia the lowest at three per cent, .but the growing trend to non-resident operation was evi- dent in every province. New information, not available from previousgcensuses, revealed that 92 per cent of census farms were operated by private in- dividuals, two per cent . by cor- potations, and the remainder by . partnerships and other types of organizations. Nearly a' third of the operators rented some or all of the land they farmed.

Par that reasofi' the"ii'3'r- mal pattern of the. service' was slightly changed as the local Presbyterian Church held its spe- cial service on Sunday. The choir, directed by Mrs. Donald Ross, gave a beautiful. rendition of the Lord's. Prayer. Call to.worship and praYers were given by Jim deBoer, Mary Lou Wall and Murray Simpson. Read- ing of scripture passages was by Paul Laidlaw and Irene deBoer. Mr. Wybenga preached a ser- mon based on Mark 11:15-19: Jesus cleansing , the temple. He pointed out that the ever increas- ing list of special days and spe- ,,cial Sundays , is• nothing but a symptom of the sickness of our spiritual life and our church life. These so-called 'special' Sundays are introdtTed as artificial �rrrl laiit�s or lnjectibns that, hopefully, will keep this ailing body alive until the next special Sunday comes, without going down td the basic cause. "Every Sunday is Laity Sun- day" Mr. Wybenga. stated. "Wor- ship is a corporate act always; not just one Sunday a year. No artificial stimulant will ever in- troduce new life. The Great Phy- sician, Jesus Christ; drove out the non -e sentials in order to get down to basic things." - No one can make you feel in- ferior without your consent. -- Eleanor Roosevelt.
