12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Nov. 21, 1973 Turn Sod for $1 MillionTle Plant Builder John Riznek (centre) of Riznek Construction Ltd. holds a shovel-full of clover as he and his son Bob Riznek (left) and Consulting Engineer S. Monteforte (right) take part in the ground-breaking ceremonies for the new Trillium Ceremie Tile Manufacturing plant on Simpson Avenue South. Work is now well underway on the $1 million project which is located on a five acre piece of property just south of the CNR tracks and directly across from the West Beach Road. In the initial phase, Engineer Monteforte indicated a large 542 foot by 60 foot plant will be erected, containing a huge 200 foot long tunnel kiln to glaze and decorate all kinds of ceramie tiles. The special clay "biscuits" used to make the floor and wall tiles will be imported from Italy to begin with and, once the plant begins to expand, the biscuits will be made from local clay. The firm will have 25 employees in the first phase of the project and, after a year or so, the enlarged operations will probably require as many as 160 people.

Several la- dies reported on the g discussions held at the Area Convention in the latter part of October. Mrs. Wesley Werry re- ported on the President's group. Among the things she mentioned was on the Sponsoring a Child Fund. This has been rather un- satisfactory to many bran- ches, including our own. Mrs. Howard Millson gave a brief account on the secretarys group. Mrs. Rae Pascoe told us about the discussions in the 'Members at large.' Mrs. Wm. Ashton briefly told us about the District Sec- retary's group. Ail brought LBOSEk/MMEDM/1K .

She also mentîoned our district responded, very generously on Pennies for Friendship at the Conven- tion. Much more than all other districts. After information on Sponsoring a Child was discussed, it was decided to drop it until we get much better information and satisfaction on the op- erating of these agencies. It was again decided to remember Louise Baker at Christmas. Miss P e a r I Leach will shop for this and see that it is taken to her. There are several new items added to our Hall kitchen equipment by the Institute. We are planning to send money to our for- mer a d o p t e d daughter, Lao Ching, for Christmas. Again we have a young man of the community achieve 18 clubs in 4-H Club work. This time, Lawrence Tavlor is the honored one. Mrs. Wesley Yellowlees presented Law- rence with a silver tray on behalf of our Institute. She stressed the many and varied activities in which Lawrence is involved and especially mentioned his popular personality and leadership qualities. Law- rence, although not as talkative as usual, re- sponded in appreciative fashion. We ahll oin in congratulations to Law- rence and wish him all success in the future. The roll call, 'A domes- tic job I'd like- to see a mon do' followed. Since many husbands were pre- sent,thbey got the message on the spot. Some jobs were too awful to mention in this report?

Mrs. R. Fraser, leader of group 'Agriculture and Canadian Industries', took the chair for the program. She read and told us some noints on 'Remembrance Day' just past. She said, "As long as wars are con- sidered wicked, there Is a fascination to man and wars will continue, but when they are thought vulgar, they will cease." Mrs. Russell Best gave the commenîs on -Ihe motto "Agriculture is the strongest spoke in the wheel of Industry." This may be truc in the sense that food is the most vital commodity In the world - but it certainly doesn't command the most wealth of the world. Mrs. Best said 42% of gross national income is derived from Agriculture In some form. Each year more land goes out of production and many more farmers go out of business, partly because they are working for no- thing in comparison to others Labour bas to be cheap on the family farm. When farms receive stable prices and a decent return the future of Agriculture may be brighter. Mrs. Best presented the facts as they are. The music for the even- ing was a real treat. The Taylor boys, Walter, Wil- liam, Lawrence and Neil sang four numbers, Delta Dawn, Blowing in the Wind, Barges and Born Free. Lawrence announc- ed these numbers with his usual comical style. They were accompanied by Mrs. Donald Taylor. The speaker for theev- cning was one of oun own industrious farmers in Mr. Bruce Taylor. Bruce is an executive member of the Ontaro Federation of Ag- riculture. These members meet with their Executive twice a month as well as each have committees of which they are in charge. Usually they meet in Tor- onto, Hamilton or Kitch- ener. Besides this they at- tend many conventions and actively try to im- prove the circumstances pertaining 10 Agriculture througbout the province, Perhaps they may go to Ottawa to influence the government in the farm interest. Bruce's topic was "The State of Agriculture To- day". He outlined many of the difficulties facing ag- riculture today. Wars bave been caused largely by people being hungry - and since two-thirds of the people go hungry every night, wars continue. Food is more easily grown in temperate zones whie provide the greatest amount. In Canada our prices, although higher, are still the cheapest In the world. The weather has caused shortages in many countries lately and man has no control over his. This week there is a meeing in Rome - called the World Food Confer- ence. Representatives from Canada are attending this, Bruce explained t h e meat price situation and what bas caused this be, tween Canada and U.S.A. He told us how much the farmer receives on the dollar in many commodi- ties which they produce. This is discouraging. Mr Taylor foresees that our energy cosîs co 1 double. This again will incýrease our food costs. On the brighter side, he mention- ed that people must eat- and people are eating better. Mr. Taylor described the purpose of the Federation of Agriculture. Its mem- bership has grown from 300 members to 18,000. He also told about many far- mers going out of business and acreage out of produc- tion. The Federation of Agriculture annual con- vention meets on Nov. 26, 27, 28 at Holiday Inn nea Oshawa. You may sit lu and see what actually ges on. One achievement made by the Federation in the recent past, was the Elimi- nation of Canital Gains Tax from father to son, Other subjects they study are t a x e s, assessment, grants, interest rates, pol- lution. pesticide control, as well as others in their relation to agriculture. Mr. Taylor told us that 20% of graduates from agriculture courses now re- turn to the farm. These young farmers should be future successful produc- ers in the world needs of food. A number of humorous stories made Mr. Taylor's talk a little lighter for such a serious subject. He also answered a few ques- tions, Mrs. Bruce Tlnk expres- sed our appreciation to Mr. Taylor as well as the quartet and Mrs Best. Miss Pearl Leach re- turned to the chair. She added her aopreciation and reminded us of the December meeting on Dec. 12th when we bring a gift for the Men's Hostel. An Apple Contesi followed. All adjourned to the low- er hall where Mrs. Fraser and her group served a delicious lunch. BETHANY W. I.

We are Warrned by Fires We Did Not K indle" Says Remembr< Bowmanville Rotary Club's guest speaker for their Rem- embrance Day meeting on1 Thursday, November 8th, was1 the Rev. Ed Hayne, the Anglican minister for the township of Clarke and the1 acting padre for the Bowman- ville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Rev. Hayne used a quotation from MadaneChaing Kai Chek as the starting point for his address -We live in the present, dream of the future and learn from the eternal values of the past," she said. Hayne asked his audience, "Why remember?" He added that it has become increasing ly hard for today's young people to understand why we honor Remembrance Day, particularly because none of today's -generation had been born until after the Second World War. But he emphasized that "today's freedom was bought with the blool of the soldiers of the past." "We are warmed by fires we did not kindle," he continued. "There were only a few who ever had the chance to live their finest hour for others . . . for us. None of those boys who went to war planned to become martyrs" he said. "All of them planned to come back home to their families." The Reverend warned his Rotary audience that it is al too easy to forget the import- ant things we have learned. He quoted the famous histor- ian, Arnold Toynbee, who said, 'The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn. "By our indifference or our pride," said Hayne, "we steal the values of the past." He told his audience of the words on Cavell's monument. "Patriotism is not enough," they say. "I must not have hatred or bitterness towards any man." much if we are unable to enj oy the worthwhile pleasure of reading, Our eyesight is necessary for reading and is one of our most precious possessions. We learn to read for en- tertainment. to relax, to put in time, and for infor- mation to learn so many things," Mrs. S Jeffery gave a reading entitled "Kitchen Table". Mrs. C. Swallow intro- duced Dr. Keith Billett of Bowmanville who spoke on "The care of the eyes." Dr. Billett said our gen- eral physical condition af- fects the eyes, both for good or bad. The way we learn to see is influenced by our experiences. Many interesting and Informa- tive questions and answers were given by Dr. Billett and the members. We were pleased to have Mrs. Billett with us as well. Mrs. W. Laird thanked Dr. Billett for giving us his time from a very busy 11fe. Mrs. C. Swallow closed with a reading entitled 'Odd results from hubby's odd jobs". The meeting closed with the repeating of "The Colleet" in uni- son. The group in charge served lunch of sandwich- es, pickles, tea and coffee during the social half hour. once Da'y "This is a moral we would all do well to remember," said Hayne. The poet W. H. Auden uttered the same sentiment when he wrote about the Hitler within us all, that part of us that would displace love, sensitivity and charity with greed, narrowmindedness and bigotry. Speaker "War or peace begin in the hearts of individual men like you and I. "We must remember that evil can descend with terrible quickness and fury" and we must always be on guard against it.

The speaker was thanked by Rotarian Rex Walters, who cited the adage "Those vho ignore history are bound to repeat it. "Let us hope we learn", continued Walters. -Your, words today will certainly help us remember."
