In memoriam
Four baptised
CLINTON - This past. Sunday was very
special in the Clinton Christian Reformed
Church. The congregation was again
privileged to witness 'the baptism of four
children. That makes a total of 20 so far this
year!
During the evening service, communion
or the Lord's Supper was celebrated. Both
this sacrament and baptism are visible
signs and seals of God's faithfulness to His
covenant people.
In the past, communion was held normal-
ly four times a year, and would be held dur-
ing both services. Nqt it is celebrated six
times a year with four=being held in the mor-
ning and two in the second service. The
church practices close communion, which
means that only confessing members can
partake and guests upon request. The synod
is studying the possibility'of having children
partake also.
The morning service was special in
another way. The sermon was delivered by
Rev. Fred Bakker who, with his wife
Teresa, the former Mrs. Henk Kuiper,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Guetter of
Clinton will be going to the mission field in
Nigeria in October. They asked the con-
gregation for support, possibly financial,
but also prayer support.
Since they will be working in a rather
isolated area without telephone contact, let-
ters from home acid the church community
will certainly help break the isolation and be
greatly appreciated.
A number of elderly couples have in the
recent past left the area for places that pro-
vide home for the elderly with a Christian .
atmosphere and people of similar cultural
and linguistic background. Work is still pro-
gressing to establish such a home here,
since it will be more desirable to stay close
to the families in the area.
Mr. and Mrs. Koob Drost moved to such a
home in Brampton recently.
The congregation extends their sympathy
to Mrs. Gerrit Klaas, whose husband died
recently..ellie Guetter, the oldest member of
the congregation is congratulated on the oc-
casion of her 88th birthday on September 12.

By David Emslie
BAYFIELD - When Bill Armstrong of
Bayfield took in his summer help for the
farm this year, he did things a bit differently
as he hired a Scottish native, Colin Leitch.
Mr. Leitch explained he came to this coun-
try through applying to the International
Agricultural Exchange Association in.Oc-
tober of 1985.
"I applied through an advert," he said.
"They were advertising work permits for
Canada, Australia and Germany."
Although his first choice was to go to New
Zealand the cost was too high, therefore he
took the trip here that cost him 1,050 pounds
including air fare and insurance.
For the Armstrongs' half of the deal, they
pay Mr. Leitch as they would a regular
worker, which totals approximately 5850
month including room and board.
Once he arrived in Canada, on April 11, he
attended a two day, seminar in the Fergus
area before going to the Armstrongs' where
he will remain until November.
As he works a sheep and beef farm in the
Village of Kilchren in Argyll, some of the
farming here was familiar to him, but other
parts of it were new to him.
"Cash crops are totally different," „Mr.
Leitch said. "I didn't know anything of cash
crops."
Aside from the cash crops he has noticed
other changes in the farpiiitg in Canada, the
first of which stems from the fact that it is
much hotter here.
He explained a few differences included,
"the way everthing grows much faster here
and the top soil is a lot deeper, there is more
and it is richer".
"Workwise, the pace is a lot faster over
here than back home," Mr. Leitch added to
his list of farming differences.
Even though the work may be a bit faster
Mr. Leitch is enjoying his stay in Canada. "I
am very impressed. It's a good country, the,
people are very friendly and nice," he said.
"They are good at showing you about, what
to see and things to do."
Apart from his work on the farm he will be
given three weeks off to travel around and
see a bit more of Canada.
He explained he has already had one of
these weeks off and he traveled to British
Columbia during that time. "I Went on a
three day tour through the Rockies and I
had a three day pass to Expo," he said. "I
was very impressed with Expo and the
Rockies especially."
Although he enjoyed Expo, he said the line
ups were too long.
"You would stand in the line up for three-
quarters of an hour to go in a pavilion for 15
minutes."
Other areas he has visited during his stay
included a weekend in Niagara Falls, and a
trip to Markham where he entered "Sheep
Focus", a sheep shearing contest, and came
third.
Colin Leitch from Scotland stands among
the cattle on one of the Armstrong's farms.
He has been working for the Armstrongs
since April on an agricultural exchange pro-
gram. (David Emslie photo)
