Oshawa hosted the Annual Meeting of the Oshawa Presbyterial U.C.W. in their spacious Church Sanctuary and C.E. Hall on Wednesday March 30th, 1977 with its theme "Grow in Grace" (2 Peter 3:18) Anticipation of an inspira- tional meeting and a perfectly lovely spring day enticed 45 U.C.W. groups to be repre- sented by 304 members in attendance and 45 visitors. Interesting name tags were like open Bibles and place mats were miniature maps of Oshawa Presbyterial area designed by the Presidents. Registration, name tag rib- bons and lunch tickets were tended by 8 Executive mem- bers. Opening worship was led by Pres. Marjorie Ferries enaireac the morning session and expressed appreciation to all with special mention of organists Jean Piercey and Elaine Hewiston, Banner gal Alice Sheffield, hostess and host church Carol Hewitt of Simcoe St. U.C.

Recording Secretary's Min- utes by Margaret Bolton also Roll Call. Announcements of Coming Events by Marjorie Ferries, Bay of Quinte Confer- ence U.C.W. President Marion Davis had an encouraging message. "In Memoriam" service was dedicated by Ruby Vancamp assisted by Dora Martyn and Eleanor Werry, Blackstock who placed the beautiful red carnation arrangements at the altar. The guest speaker Hilde Toll was introduced at the morning session by a former classmate at Ontario Ladies College. Helen Winter, Whitby and in the afternoon by Pres. Marilyn Martin. Many of her audience remembered the excellent Leroy and Hil- degrade Toll Travelogues presented many years ago and some were former classmates at O.L.C. who enjoyed the renewal of acquaintances with her. Hilde's book "Patchwork Pieces" and a pleasing new song she taught her listeners were added touches to the charm and dedication of our guest speaker as she gave 2 superlative messages. In the theme-Grow in Grace, Hilde Toll rolled back the pages of time to the begining with God when he was alone but was changed by His creation of everything includ- ing Man and Woman with a body, soul and spirit to Grow in Grace through the centuries from Abraham's call down through the Bible records to Priscilla with God's love and our potential. Hilde's afternoon message had many personal references e.g. stained glass windows and renovations of ber home church of Parkdale United, Toronto, plans with ber bus- band during his terminal illness and death 3 years ago and ber own growth in grace in so many ways. She conclud- ed affirmingly that God really is and bas His loving arms always around us as we go on growing in grace. The delicious luncheon was enjoyed immensely. Grace was said by Rev. A. Lavis.

The afternoon session had the slate of officers presented by nominations secretary Margaret Down and Chair- man of Presbytery Stephen Saywell conducting the election and installation ceremony. Marjorie Ferries' touching farewell speech and Marilyn Martin's inaugural speech of acceptance were both brief. Members from Southmin- ster U.C.W. led in the worship service with Simcoe St. U.C. members receiving the gener- ous offering. Words of appre- ciation to the guest speaker were expressed by Mrs. T.W. Wilson, Mt. Zion U.C.W. and courtesy to all by Pres. Marilyn Martin. Rev. A. Lavis pronounced the Benediction to close a day of genuine inspiration.

No. 2 Blowmanville (4161 623-505Ô - WILL BUY SINGLE PIECES OR COM- PLETERCONTENTS APPRAISALS AND AUCTION SERVICE AGRICULTURAL NEWS By: Rod Stork Assoc. Agricultural Representative Ontario Beef Calf Stabilization Program Last week we indicated that the 1977 Version of the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabilization Program had been announced by the Hon. William Newman, Minister of Agriculture and Food. As we noted last week, the support price for calves under the Program for 1977 will be 51.5 cents per pound, which is an increase over 1976. In addition, the enrolment fee for 1977 bas been increased from $5 to $8 per cow. We would like to point out a number of other areas in which we have had questions about the program in past years, and in this way, hopefully, clear un t)me doubts in producer's minds. ïuntracts and Enrollment Forms will be sent to each producer who was enrolled in the Program in 1975 and '76. If you are a new beef producer or have moved into the area recently and have not been on the program, you can obtain contracts and enrollment forms at the Agricultural Office in Bowmanville. Any new producers going on the program in 1977 will complete the application and contract and return them to the local agricultural office. Beef producers who sell cream in Ontario are eligible for the program, even though cream is part of the Federal Market Share Quota System. However, beef producers who do not apply for the Ontario Program but choose to apply for the Federal Cow Calf Program only are not eligible for the Federal Program if they produce cream. Again, we want to emphasize that if you are a cream shipper in the province of Ontario, you are eligible to enroll on the Ontario Program, and we would urge cream producers to take a good, hard look at the possibility of going on this program. In the past, producers have had the option of paying their fees at the time of enrolment, or having their fees deducted from the payout that was made at the end of the year. This year, it is strongly urged that the enrolment fees be paid in advance. The cheque or money order to cover the fees is to accompany the enrolment form when it is filed. However, any producer who is financially unable to pay in advance, can apply for deferment at the agricultural office. The application for deferment is completed at the office, and it is attached to the application form when it is sent to Toronto. We want to remind producers that the deadline for enrolment on the 1977 Program is May 31st and there will be no notices sent out to producers from Toronto to remind them of the final enrolment date. As in past years, there will be a check-up on a certain number of herds in each County to verify the information that has been included on the application form. We want to urge producers to make sure that the livestock counts that they do on their farm as of the date of enrollment are correct, so that no problems arise. If you sell animals or cows out of your herd after enrolling on the Program, you must keep sales slips and receipts to verify that these sales did take place. In 1976 nearly 300 producers who joined the Ontario Program in 1975 did not file a 1976 enrollment form for the Program. Many of these people were retired Pool Prices Newcastle council set the admission prices for local swimming pools last week at its regular council meeting. The fee for using a munici- pal pool all day will be 75 cents. A single season mem- bership will be $15.00 and a family of three or more can take to the water for $40.00 this summer. Admission prices for mun- icipal pools are unchanged from last year. Industrial Road Council approved the con- struction of several hundred feet of road on land near the Bowmanville industrial park last week. The road is to be con- structed on the unopened part HAYDON (Intended for last week) Mrs. Tracey Hover, Angel and Branon, Perth, spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Blackburn and Wendy.

"Its not a long road but it needs to be built", said Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard. The building of the road is subject to confirmation that work on an industrial develop- ment off the road will begin this year. Senior Citizens A senior citizens apartment building proposed for the former CPR property on Wellington and Scugog Sts. was endorsed in principle by Newcastle council last week. The council agreed to rec- ommend that the Durham Regional council help provide sewer and water services to the site. An estimated 150 senior citizens would be housed in the building according to a pre- sentation made to council last year. Mayor Rickard said that servicing to the project would have to be a joint effort between the developer and the Durham Region. Hire Students Work will be available for three students seeking em- ployment this summer as a result of a council decision Monday. Town clerk Joe Mcllroy was authorized to hire a student from a municipal administra- tion course for summer work. The hiring of two planning students bas also been author- ized, provided that there is room for them in the town's Hampton office. The salary of the students is to be $125.00 weekly with the Ontario government providing an 80 per cent subsidy on that amount. Meanwhile, the town has agreed to help the Canada Manpower centre for students to publicize the hiring of students.

Furnace Rennovated Newcastle council bas approved about $16,000 worth of rennovations to the heating system at the Darlington Sports Centre. The council agreed on a scheme which calls for the building of one furnace inside a cement block building on the roof of the centre. The furnace will replace part of the present heating system. The single furnace will not heat the ticket office or managers office. Electric heaters will be used in these rooms as needed. The, estim- ated cost of the project is $16,316.00 and tenders will be invited. Modifications in the heating system follow a fire in January which caused about $10,000 in damage at the centre. The fire destroyed one furnace. A BIG IMPRESSION Fitness. In your heart you know it's right. farmers or sold their farms, or had gone out of beef pro- duction. These producers are out of the program until they make application again, if they wish. The penalty, how- ever, for opting out of the program in 1976 is that producers must back-pay the $5 per cow premium for each cow that was in their herd in 1975, plus the enrollment fees for 1977. These, then are some of the areas that we want to point out about the Ontario Beef Calf Stabilization Program. If pro- ducers have further questions about the application forms or contracts, or do want to obtain these forms, please get in touch with the agricultural office in Bowmanville. Crop Insurance of Production Guarantee Growing crops is big busi- ness, and, therefore, it is good business to ensure against losses due to natural causes beyond your control. Crop insurance offers protection against such hazards as hail, wind, frost, flood, drought, insect infestation and disease. With separate plans for some 20 different crops, such as corn, spring grains, soybeans, potatoes and white beans. The concept is based on individual, average farm yield, which is tailored to your own farm operation. The first year that you take out crop insurance means that no records are available and, therefore, an area average if used with allowances for good management practices, soil capability and drainage. Since these conditions can vary from one farm to another. After the first year, annual yields are recorded and aver- age with your beginning average farm yield to estab- lish your own average farm yield. After 5 years, only your own production history is used in determining your level of coverage, which can vary from 70-80 per cent of your average farm yield, depend- ing on whether or not, there bas been a claim made in prior years. Should actual production fall below your guarantee, then you are in a claim position, for which a claim will be paid by the Cro Insurance Commission. A ditional benefits include re- seeding to the extent of $15 per acre, whether you reseed the same crop or any other crop. Several options or levels of coverage are available for each crop. As most farmers know, the deadline date for taking out Crop Insurance on spring sown crops is May 15th, so we urge those farmers who are planning on obtaining Crop Insurance for 1977 to get in touch with the County Crop Insurance Agents, Bruce Taylor at R.R. 1, Enniskillen, or Bev Gray at R.R. 1 Port Hope, or you can get further information about the Crop Insurance Program by calling the agricultural office in Bowmanville. 4-H Agricultural Organization Day The 1977 Durham 4-H Agri- cultural Club Program got off to a good start on Saturday, April 2nd, when approximate- ly 90 4-H members enrolled in the upcoming year's program. We want to point out at this time, that members who were unable to attend the Program on April 2nd, still have the opportunity to enroll in the 4-H Program for 1977. Deadline date for enrollment is April 30th. However, if you are interested and do want to get into the Program, we urge you to get in touch with our office and we will send you an enrollment form as soon as possible, so that you can return it to us, and we can get the material out to you for the clubs that you wish to go into. Project areas which we will be having in 1977 include: Dairy Calf, Beef Calf, Field Crops including grain and corn, Rabbit and Cavy, Sheep, Veterinary, Farm Manage- ment, Landscape Gardening and Conservation. In addition, if there is additional interest, we will alsoýhave a Swine Club and a 4-H Senior Club, if enough people enroll in the two clubs, so we urge you again, if you plan on going into the 4-H Program in 1977 for the Agricultural portion to get in touch with us at the office and we will send you the enrollment forms.
