Walter Miller, {ice Pres- ident of the NFU said today in Guelph he regretted the reports that the federal Gov- ernment was compromising on its position in response to powerful lobbies with vested interests in both U.S. and Canada whose concern is for opportunities to make great- er profits regardless of the effects on human health. The dangers from the hor- mone DES has been estab- lished in more than a score of countries in the world includ- ing the U.S. Food and Drug administration, and only a technicality in the law allows it to be used there. ~cWP ® ANNRENE DQ, PORT PERRY ONTARIO 0) ADMISSION $2.00 Given the size and scope of multi-national corporations operating in the food indus- try there is a strong possibil- ity they will find a loophole in the regulations or lobby to create one that will see meat from DES treated animals sold in Canada. The union Vice-President said the only sure protection is a complete ban, and Canadian consumers should demand this of their govern- ment. As well, the Canadian government should pressure the U.S. government to im- plement a total ban there.

The main topics listed for consideration by the 453 delegates. known as commi- ssioners. have been set down loosely under four main headings: the future, the gospel. the person and the community. This permits free and broad discussion of almost any issue on which the commissioners feel the United Church should take a stand. 8:30 P.M.

General Council, highest court of the church, meets in Guelph. Ontario, August 18- 24. Decisions reached set policy for the United Church, the largest Protestant deno- mination in Canada with about two million members and adherents. As always, a heavy agenda has been prepared for the biennial meeting but few issues likely to arouse con- troversy among the partici- pants. almost equally divid- ed between clergy and laity, are expected to arise. Of particular interest this vear is election of a modera- tor to succeed Rt. Rev. N. Bruce McLeod of Toronto. Eight nominations have come from church confer- ences and presbyteries, an unusually high number, and more may be made from the floor. Balloting is scheduled for Monday, August 19. Town Hall under discussion Council finally decided on a clause which gives it the right to review the lease after the first 3and 5 years at which time if the old town hall is viable, the lease will continue for the remainder of the 99 years. Councillor Kenny voted against this clause. So did Coun. Brinkman. but he later changed his mind to support the new clause. Councillors Frew. Taylor and Hunter voted in favour. Other clauses agreed to by Dr. "Hammett and Council related to subletting and insurance. In case of damage by fire. Town Hall 1873 will use the insurance to repair the building. In case ol total destruction the insu- rance money will be handed ever to Council to be used for recreational or cultural purposes.

Berrill Milestones and Memories In childhood the days are short and the years seem long. At the other end of life this is reversed. But throughout those years we're always looking forward to something; of going to school, quitting school, reaching the age of independence getting married or becoming a parent. Then comes the time when it's all over. It's past. Life has been lived. However, we can relive that life and enjoy it, in the way we re-read an interesting novel; chapter by chapter-or, as excerpts picked at random like these, our earliest "recordings." Although our lifg began in Ontario, the fringe of our memory was woven on the prairies of Saskatchewan where, though the stay was brief in terms of years, the memories were made in fadeless colour. Our first acquaintance with a dentist that entailed forty-mile train-trip with our father. Afterwards came that first "taste" of moving pictures. A matinee. Cowboys and Indians in thrilling action and deadly silence. A reward for being good. We were 5. Some other recollections are apples that came tissue-wrapped and crated; wild roses per- fumed, surely, by delegates of the gods. And of our father kneeling with us to pick the crocus--harbingers of the spring. We remember the weasels (they stole the chickens) gophers and the meadow larks. The tumbleweed, the hail-storms and the blizzards and the eerie coyote call. There we saw the magic of mirage, when a faraway town, normally unseen (with certain conditions of weather) would rise momentarily to sit. seemingly on the ridgepole of the world. A couple of trees on a far horizon--the only trees and were imports we believe. Properties were marked with Barbed-wire fences. QOther- wise. unbroken wheat-fields: acres of greenest velvet that turned to gold and bronze with passing time. Then, came the gangs of harvesters; men with a jumble of many tongues. It was a time of man-power and horse-power and, for the very voung a time of innocence, ignorance and wonder. A time of sheerest joy. And a prelude to the age of care. Yes, we've just had another birthday and from those other days we've travelled far. Many pages have been filled to come full-cycle to another phase of few responsibilities. But with another birthday we hear from another genera- tion such jovial remarks as--'"'Having climbed the hill what's it like on the other side?" Quite simply we assure them that age does bring compenstations. And for that husky 6' 4" lad who long ago tagged us with the title "My favourite mother-in-law" we were able recently to demonstrate our point. When he, over his ear-lobes in tasks that must be done: with the temperature high and the humidity higher--we could grin broadly as we sat in the shade, supplied with liquid refreshment reading material and a footrest. Sure! We were baby-sitting. But the bonny babe was sleeping happily nearby, and for us it was 'Ah summer, we love you!" Of course we don't admit too freely that some joints have become arthritic, that we doze easily, tire quickly, love our grandchildren but are glad they are granden iff Nor, that our favourite piece of furniture iS a rocking chair.
