Sunday Services Presbyterian In the Presbyterian Church Mr. Brian Fraser chose "The Authority of Jesus" as the theme for. his message, read- ing Mark 11:27 and Mark' 12:12. Much of the Gospel story us taken up witb ac- counts of conflicts between Jesus and the Jewish author- ities. The conflict was between two kinds of autbority. Jewishb rulers had the autbority of states, money and success. In place of this Jesus portrayed the autbority of concern, self-giving, justice and right- eousness. United. In the United Cburch, Rev- erend Victor Parsons spoke on tbe topic "The Great Gulf", reading John 3:11-24, Luke 6:17-36. The message contrast- ed the gulf existing between tbe rich and the poor.

Students Who Received Their Driver Training Certificates ETON $50 to assist with expenses. This should be a wonderful experience and education for these young folk. For the roll call "What Industry Would You Choose for Employment" many in- teresting answers were given. Mrs. Grant Thompson ably presented the motto. "Our x ithi: in the- Soil" Ouote: "The greater part of the earth's surface is covered with a layer of loose particles, varying in depth, from a few inches to several feet. This layer is, of course, our soil. The chief agencies in the formation of soil are the atmoschere; water, plants and animais. Soils are minerai such as clay, sand and lime. Organic soil or humus is decaying animal and vege- table substances, such as leaves, twigs, and dead bodies of animais. A mixture of both mineral and organic soil is called loam. This is our best soil for agriculture. Our soil, or earth, provides three industries, farming, mining and lumbering. Agriculture is the oldest of al occupations-for feeding and clothing the human race. Lumbering is one of the most picturesque and inter- esting of industries. In early times lumber was the mater- ial used for building, later brick, stone, and now newer materials are used. A great use of timber, expecially spruce trees, is in the making of paper. Mining is the practice of working in the earth for valuable minerais of all kinds. The stone age lasted for thousands of years, then minerals were found. Gold was probably the first dis- covery, followed by copper, silver, tin and when man learned to mix copper and tin to make bronze, the Bronze Age began. Then came the Steel Age when they learned to forge iron. We must not forget oil, diamonds, platinum, rubles, emerads, sappmires, turquoise, marble, granite, slate and of course two most important elements from the earth are salt and coal. The sum and substance of the g-hole matter is that we should be governed by the native possibilities when we are searching for a iew location, rather than anything man can produce. We can build homes, grow fine crops, and mine the precious min- erals but only God can make the soil on which our house stands, or agriculture is carried on. We must fight pollution of air and water so that plants and animais may survive - these are the four chief agencies in the formation of soil. If we do not do our part large or ,mall - Our motto to-day, "OurWealth is in the soil" .will have very little significance if humanity could perish." Mr. Weir Swain, the guest speaker, is no stranger to us as he was born in Cartwright Township and after thirty ears experience in prosperity e has come back tohis nature Township to retire. He chose "Prospecting" as the topic for his interesting talk. In the early days (1923) drinking water was brought in by dog team. He naa some aisap- pointing experiences but also many rewarding ones. Kirk- land Lake, Timmins, Matach- ewan, Red Lake, James Bay and Ungava were the districts where he did prospecting. One year when they returned to their cabin, all of the equip- ment had been stolen. The next year they put equipment valued at $700 in two plastic bags and hid them among some trees. That autumn when they returned all had disappeared. This time it was a four legged thief, a bear, who had dragged it away. The bags were shredded but only one piece was missing, the balance was scattered along the bear's route. Following this educational talk the group was interested in seeing a geiger counter for detecting uranium, a violet ray lamp for detecting flores- cent minerais, diamond driti, reamer bits, steel rods, mag- nesium rods, hermatite iron, samples of 7/ inch core and 1¼4 inch core, also numerouw samples of minerais. .Mr. Swain continues to b' interested in mining.

Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, March 19, 1975 5 Bank of Montreal Predicts Decline in Canadian Exports Montreal, March 5, 1975- The prospects for Canadian exports tis year are "not particularly good", according to the Bank of Montreal March Business Review. Against a background of sluggish consumption and in- vestment in the world's major industrialized countries, Can- ada may experience another decline in export volume following a decline of about 7 per cent last year. However, an increase in prices of about 9 per cent is expected to offset the real decline and yield an increase in value of about 4 per cent, the Review says. It notes that the growth in world trade in real terms last year was probably not much greater tban 4 per cent, despite an increase in value of 40 per cent owing to soaring prices. "Given the likelihood of a continuing slowdown through the first half of this year and an only moderate upturn later on, the outlook for world trade points to a similarly smal volume in- crease ai the very best." A worldwide weakening of economic activity bas extin- guished the immense press- ures on commodity and raw material prices so that the total value of world trade can be expected to expand by only some 15 per cent this year. The economic slowdown has been especiall marked in Canada's two ar est export markets, the United States and Japan. The Bank's forecasts of world economic activity are made on the assumption that, with almost 13 million unem- ployed in the world's nine eading industrialized count- ries, fiscal policies will soon become strongly stimulative. Nevertheless, the pace of economic activity bas slowed to the extent that world gross national product in real terms probably will grow only by about one-half per cent. The Bank expects price increases at the consumer level to moderate marginally in most countries as the nature of inflation changes from a demand-shortage phe- nomenon to one reflecting pressures as a result of higher abor costs. A sharp increase in oil prices to the nine big indust- rialized nations accounted for a combined balance of pay- ments deficit in 1974 of $22 billion, but a growing part of the oil purchases should be financed by increased ex- ports, government-to-govern- ment lending, and long term investments in the consumer countries by oil producers. The record implies "that the financial adjustment to the shocks of the oil price escala- tion have been, and can be, handled by the system in a reasonably stable fashion", the Review says. It predicts a continuation of the trend to lower interest rates through the first half of the year, after which gradual upward pressures may well emerge as economic activit firms, particularly in the U.S. The eme ence of near- universal oating exchange rates bas made forecasting on this subject difficult, but the Review comments that the U.S. dollar "is certainly undervalued in respect to its comparative purchasing pow- er". As for other major currencies," the strong Ger- man balance-of-payments po- sition should serve to keep the mark generally firm-at least against currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The same is true for the French franc whereas the pound is likely to weaken." BA REGULAR SBLOOD DONOR MARCH 20th TO SATURDAY, MARCH 22nd. Infants' Sleepers In StretchTerry Only 199 A.
