_ - had been donated. By Mrs. Earl Reader As promised and predicted, Sunday was a very enjoyable and inspiring day at the Island Church. Both min- isters, Rev. E. Linstead and Rev. C. Clarke, were in charge of the special service for the Organ Dedication. Many former residents and interested people 'had ar- rived, as invited, to witness and take part in the results of their concern and generosity. The beautiful red roses on the Communion table were in memory of Mrs. Annie Jackson and Mrs. Edna McLaren by nieces and nephews. There were also two lovely floral arrange- ments in memory of Miss Gladys Frise of Oshawa, who passed away in the last week. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Frise. Mrs. Frise was formerly Carrie Jeffrey, sister of the "7 late William Jeffrey. Mrs. Frise attended. Church and Sunday School on the Island. After the service, the flowers were taken to the "Head" Museum Church where they had a fitting place for the afternoon as visitors called at the museum. Along with the organ dedi- cation, there was the new "In Memoriam" Book which The names of donors and memorials had been care- fully inscribed by Mrs. Doreen Adam who did a beautiful job of script print- ing. More names will be added at a later date. To provide a lasting and con- - venient place for the book, Allan Martyn designed a glass top case or cabinet to rest on an appropriate table. # Beside this was a well balan- "ced lectern to hold the Visi- tor's Book. We certainly do appreciate his material, designing, work and time. >" We find the visitors' book which was donated by Mr. Ormiston in 1957 is now full and will be a lovely record of people who visited us from many countries and places through the years. i The complete theme of the Service was "Praise", first suggested in the invitations "and then on the Church Bul- letin covers, and later in music, prayer and the mes- - sage.

PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, May 31, 1978 -- 29 Scottish Junior Farmer visits local dairy farm Donald MacRae, 25, is a farmer from the Scottish Highlands, and as part of a delegation of Young Farm- ers from the British Isles, he recently spent a week visiting with the Harder family on their dairy farm northwest of Greenbank. Donald arrived in Canada on May 13 and before he returns to Scotland near the end of September he will have visited numerous farms across Ontario and enjoyed a free-time holiday for a couple of weeks in western Canada. The purpose of the tour is to give the United Kingdom farmers a chance to observe the operation of Canadian farms,make comparisons to farming back home, and exchange ideas and infor- mation with their Canadain counterparts. The members of the dele- gation receive a $300 cash grant from their own organi zation and their room and board is covered while they are in Canada. But they have to work for it. Donald will put in a full day on the farm that he is staying at. In addition he'll keep a record of his exper- iences and observations so that he can give a full report to his local organization when he returns home. He will be taking a lot of colour slides -several hundred- which he will present at meetings of young farmers in Scotland. Along with his father and uncle, Donald works a 3,000 acre farm some one hundred and twenty miles north of Glasgow. That is big by Ontario standards, but al- most the entire farm is pas- ture for the eight hundred sheep and thirty head of beef cattle. Donald says\the land is very hilly and, wet, making cultivation difficdit. About fifty acres of grain are planted each year. - That is one major diffe- rence between Ontario farms and his operation in' Scotland. There is very little corn grown in the Highlands. Sheep usually graze year-round while the 4 SEY Donald MacRae, a young farmer from the High- lands of Scotland, visited last week with the Harder family, north of Greenbank. cattle are brought in for the winter. However, this past winter was a difficult one for far- mers in the Highlands as there were severe storms with snow drifts thirty feet high. That- meant- a lot of extra feed had to be pur- chased for the sheep. Another significant differ- ence is that unlike Canada where most farmers either own their own land or are in the process of buying it, the MacRaes rent their acreage from the British Aluminium Company. This is not un- usual in Scotland. In fact, Donald says that only about half the farms are owned bu Manchester and area by Mrs. Ruby Fielding Church Sunday June 4th at 11:15 a.m. Reverend E.

May 13, Donald first spent a week on a beef farm near Beaverton. He was with the Harders last week and Mon- day left for a farm in Lanark County near Ottawa.
