THE COBOURG STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1975 Page C3 Pipeline and Eddystone Eden Church (continued) by our ancestors as it has seen more physical changes than the church. With the "horse and buggy days" long past and the need for the sheds no longer existing, the hall was lowered to its present level in 1952. Following this major renovation, the interior was panelled, the kitchens were modernized and equipped, and the exterior was "insul-bricked". In 1972, further improvements included a complete painting, the installation of new flooring and the addition of running water. In 1974 we celebrated the Centennial Anniversary of Eden United Church. We, the present generation, owe a debt of gratitude to our forefathers for the establishment of this church in our community. For one hundred years it has contributed to the advancement of Christianity, not only here in our community, but in our country as well. Today, the church is regarded not only as a place of worship but the "nucleus of the neighborhood" and the "hub" around which our rural life revolves. Now let us look to the future as well as recall the past - at no other time in history has society been experiencing change as rapidly as during this decade and the Church must keep pace. We, •herefore, trust that the faith and courage which inspired the erection of this church one century ago and the service and devotion which supported it these many years, will continue to sustain "this little country church" for many years to come Janice Knapp showed grace and style a Queen of the Universe.

As of May 1, 1975, agricultural workers in Ontario, engaged in harvesting fruit, field vegetables and tobacco, will receive protection and benefits in the areas of minimum wage, vacation pay , and public holidays with pay. Agricultural workers engaged in harvesting of fruit, field vegetables and tobacco, will earn the equivalent of a minimum wage of $2.40 per hour. There will be offsetting allowances for room and board. For seasonal workers housed in bunk house situations the maximum deduction as far as the calculations of the minimum wage is concerned is $10 per week. Serviced and unserviced houses will be offset at the rate of $40 and 30 per week respectively. A serviced house is a house where fuel and electricity are provided and paid for by the farm employer, where an unserviced house does not have these items paid for by the employer. Workers engaged in the harvesting of fruit, field vegetables and tobacco, who are employed for more than three months, will also be covered by the vacation pay provisions of the Employment Standards Act, from May 1st of this year. Beginning in 1975 these workers, when employed for three months or more, will be entitled to holidays with pay on New Year's Day, Good Friday, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The new regulations also specify the wage records which must be kept for these agricultural workers including the name and address of the worker, the hours worked that week, wage rate, and actual earnings. These changes do not affect full-time farm workers such as dairy farm workers. Local champions '( Only a well designed, well built mattress can give you a good night's rest.
