"Man- Smith and and Steve -- Spode Lecture On Wednesday, February 1st, in the Sunday School room of the United Church, the United Church Choir spons sored a "Spode" lecture and film in aid of the Organ Fund. EM he President, Miss Barbara Hunter, introduced Mr, R. Ian Davey, of Cope- land & Duncan Ltd., Toronto, Sole distributors for Copeland & Duncan L.td., England, in Canada. The Port Perry representative in Port Perry is Mr. 1. RR. Bentley, Jeweller. x. MP. Davey first briefly outlined the beginning of pottery making in Europe and England and the development of the Spode pottery by Josiah Spode The firm of Spode was purchased in later years by Copeland & Duncan, A colored film was shown beginning with the first crude attempts at pot- tery making and showing the progress of the art to the beautiful finished pro- duet of today. 5 The Spode factory is one of the ow potteries in England that still uses hand work in making China. This was illustrated in scenes -from the Spode factory in England where we were shown the mixing of bone and rough clay to make the refined clay with which bone china is made. The shap- ing of plates and cups was done by hand on a potter's wheel while larger platters and bowls were made in moulds. The handles of cups and the handles and spouts of teapots were al- so put on by hand. The design was stenciled on from a hand printed sten- cil and then ed the design. All the many processes in the producing this fine bone china calls for highly trained and exXper- ienced workers. Copeland & Duncan also makes earthenware but there are more me- chanical devices used in its produétion. At the conclusion of the film My. Davey unswered questions on the film and invited.the group to examine the 40 or H0 beautiful dinner plates of different patterns on display. Mr. Gordon Reesor thanked Mr. Davey on behalf of the choir, and the audience, for his most interesting and informative lecture Tea and cookies were served by the members of the choir.

In every community there are those who ave skeptical of the church. They note her divisions; the eccentricities of her followers--profession without possession. ay We hold no brief for that kind of yeligion: but we do say that in every soul there is a great spiritual hunger for God. It may be that it has, or has not been nurtured. It may be that it has been allowed to atrophy. If so, we venture to state that aridity brings its own reward---a devastating sense of loneliness that this world with all its pleasures can never fill, We invite you, whoever you may be, to attend the Preaching Mission to be held in the United Church each even- 12-16 sponsorship of the three Anglican, Presbyterian and ing during the week of March under the churches United. } Robert HH.

CCK Leader, speaking to a meeting of the Ontario Farmers Union Local 73, held in the Community Hall, Blackstock (Durham Co.) Friday, Feb- ruary 3, 1966: Agricultural conditions today rep- resent a pocket of depression, lost and Lo a great extent ignored, in a boon.- ing industrial economy. Net farm income has dropp one half across the nation, an in Ontario, since the pean yeai of 1951. ~ That kind of drop in income cannot be described in any other terms than depression. But there is an in- teresting feature of this development which may prove to represent some- thing new. In the past, claimed 329 farmers lave always with the backing of solid- fact and experience--that a drop in farm was the forerunner to a general depression. If the early signs provided by a decline in farm income were ignored, their consequen- ces spread 'through the whole econ- income _omy, setting up a creeping depression. The new development is that this apparently is. no longer true. Despite the catastrophic drop in farm income over the past four years, it seems to have had fittle effect on the overall busines Fon iunity, People who have Eft the farm, or become unem- ployed in industry Palyny a drop in farm putehasing power, have secured jobs in Ther manufacturing. The de- cline in farm. spending has become swamped by incomes released from 'the hoom in manufacturing and con- struction. There are two general reasons for this. First, half of farm spending ean: shrink little, and may This includes general costs for tractors, trucks, farm machinery.
