December 2, when Mrs. Stephen Bytes of London presented the United Church with the silver trowel used by her grandfather, Edward Leech, in laying a • cornerstone of the newly -built Methothst Church in 1890. Edward Leech was the third eldest of the ten famous Leech brothers, pioneer builders in this district_ Joseph Leech built the First mill and mill dam in Shievale 10 lin& He .built and resided in the home of Mr. and Mrs_ Donald Street. the former Duff residence. purchased from him in ma by Robert Duff who succeeded him as miller Mr_ and Mrs. Bytes_ their son and daughter-in-law of Hamilton were introduced to the guests Rev. gena Brown Mrs_ Byllm recalled visiting the home of her great uncle, Jiceepti Leech. as a child and was happy to recall memories of that time. She brought with her a printed history of the illustrious family_ This book. along with the old Huron Caunty Atlas OM), press clippings and pictures of the Leech family were of much in- terest to those present. Mrs_ Bytes is the former Pearl Code, a sister to Mrs_ Dr. R L. Stewart of Wingham.. The trowel is beautifully engraved with the names of Joseph and Edward Leech and the date 1890. Mrs. Bytes presented a similar trowel to the United Church at Gorrie where the former Methodist Church had also been dedicated by her Family. The 'Bluevale Community ,Hall is now built on the site of the Methorlin` Church and rests on the original foundation_ Lathes of the congregation served tea and refreshments and a pleasant informal isit was enjoyed by everyone, Bluevaie WMS members meet at McKercher home • BLUEVALE—In appreciate e respome to Mrs Gen McKee thee's invitation to members of the wonigen-s hinK•nonary SeiMety KEVX Clietele 16 ladies at- tended_ President Mrs G GoThev use!d a Christmas theme as her call to Neenah:1p' . followed by a Cbrietreas hymn She also led the devotees based co Pa-nrs letter to the Hebrews and the second chapter of Luke's Gospel She asked the craestion.

Arnother' highlight of the COP- *ntion was tbe announcement that the Canadian Federation of Agriculture will take over Cataluna, the federal govern- ment's farm bookkeeping sell' vice. Mr, Stafford explained that the service presently costs 530 a year and that reports said when the program was run privately it would cost benefiting farmers between 5300 and 5400 a year. When CFA takes over the program fees will be charged acro to how much work is neededT The average charge to each farmer using the service will be about 575, Mr. Stafford said. Bill Pullen reported that the Ontario Farm Machinery Agency, a company owned by OFA, grew a lot in the lest year and had total sales of $474,934_ Total OFA spending in the last year amounted to about $1.2 minion. Huron County Federation of Agriculture President Merle Gunby reported the OFA foreign aid committee name was changed to AgriSkills Abroad and that the committee wanted to get more involved with a project in Puerto Rico, teaching natives to grow enough food to be self- sufficient. Resolutions passed at the OFA convention include one Riding for removal of capital gains tax, one asking for more subsidy on rural roads, a resolution asking for alternative methods and poor agricultural sites for land fill and garbage disposal sites and that the Line Fences Act be amended so that each landowner would be responsible for half of the fence surrounding his property. Other resolutions dealt with asking the Ontario government not to allow zoning of private lands as enviromnental resource, that allowances made for livestock killed by dogs should be updated to reflect current' market values and that allowances for livestock kffied or injured by wolves should be for the average market weight of the livestock involved. A resolution made at the Clinton meeting last week called for Farm and Country magazine to publish weekly reports of Winnipeg and Chicago hogtt futures markets. Grey Township farmer Carl Hemingway said newspapers and magazines recently dropped hog futures reports, which are useful even for people who don't invest in the futures market_ 'Tye found I've really made money out of knowing those futures, yet I don't play the futures,- he said: FARM ENERGY USE Use of non-renewable energy has made farming a high capital way of making a living and could cause serious problems for farmers in an energy shortage, guest speaker Tony McQuail of RR 1, Lucknow told the federation of agriculture_ He said energy use in general was growing at the rate of seven per cent a year or doubling each 10 years in the last half century and that the exponential growth ln energy eonsumntion has scary implications for farming 11 eetemv is in short supply, great masses of energy COIF sumers probably wouldn't 'allow farmers to use energy in inef- ficient ways of prodneing food, Mr. McQuail saicL Farmers and energy con- sumers in general have two choices_ One is to admit that energy consumption growth can't t recent levels otherazstthe to "watch the eldsion and go out and buy eserythini it says wn should," he claimed, Before the petroleum and electrical age farmers got their work done With their own physical exertion and the help of family and animals and little outside energy was used. In return for the labor of the farmer and his animals the land fed them. If the operation Operated at an energy deficit, Meaning the farmer put work into the land but couldn't get enough to eat, he starved. It was evident the Allan‘ttlit terma was laming an eneegy..*ificieut operation, MeQuall said. Energy effielenOY a modern agriculhire isn't aseasy to detect though. The use of machinery, commerCial fertilizer, pesticides and dectricity make for less manual labor for the farmer and his animals and allow him to farm larger acreages but a lot more energy is used which wasn't produced on the farm. Most of this energy used in the farming operation is from non- renewable sources like oil, natural gas and nuclear energy, Mr. McQuail said - . rennet:a eau reduce their de..00fidellect on 1191tIlllleWattie eueta btheu/atifig. their heated using .,the proper machinery for each job, Muldng optimum use of manure as a fertilizer and using renewable energy for practical applications. For instance, many farmers in this area could use windmills to pump water, reducing electricity consumption. Farmers could also orient their buildings toward the south to make . use of passive' solar energy, whit% would stream through windows and become heat, Mr. McQuail said. .1 I Canada s EmploymenrfaxCredit The Employment Tax Credit Program was introduced by the Government of Canada to stimulate employment in the private sector.
