ACCLAMATIONS IN WHITBY TOWNSHIP Robert Spencer, 23, 1044 King Street East, out of work for two years with painful injuries sustain- ed in an auto accident, has a use- ful and lucrative hobby. He makes Christmas decorations -- wreaths, table centres, and sprays, in a workshop behind his home. He learned the art of arrangement and wiring from a florist during his convalescence, and has now turned it into a useful pastime. Cedar boughs, driftwood, birch logs, bittersweet berries and tradi- tional Christmas trimmings are all combined to make his unique and charming decorations. They are on display in the watch - repair shop of his father-in-law, C. E. Mills, on Ontario Street. : There is one centrepiece which is outstandingly beautiful.

For the Best In NASH Sales and Service ROBINSON MOTORS Oshawa Dial 5-5521 Program By Male Choir Is Enjoyed On Sunday evening the Lakeshore Inter-church Male Choir, composed of members from churches of all denominations in the New Toronto- Mimico-Long Branch-Port - Credit district, were guests at Albert Street United Church and sang dur- ing the evening service. The choir is starting on its 1ith year and about a year ago paid a visit to the local church. A hot supper was served to the visiting choir members as well as the members of the Albert Street Choir and their wives by the mem- bers of the Women's Association under the convenorship of Mrs. Samuel Gibbs. The tables were de- corated with red and white. At the head table were Jack | Smyth, president of the visiting | choir; Rev. and Mrs. Atkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Graydon, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wiltshire Ronald Kellington and Cyril Hill, the choir pianist. The visiting choir members were welcomed by Mr. Atkinson. Mr. Atkinson introduced Mr. Wilt- shire, president' of the local choir, who spoke-of his love of singing. Mr. Smyth responded suitably. Mr. Graydon also spoke telling of the organization and development of the choir. It was a delight to everyone at- tending the evening service to hear the fine singin of the talented visit- ing group. The anthem "Blessed is He" brought out the fine tonal qual- | P as did the anthem ities of the grou "The Unveiled Christ". A large congregation was in at- tendance. Following the service, a sacred recital was given by the visiting choir. The selections included a trio "When You Know Jesus Too' and "Shepherd True'; a bass solo "The Mighty Deep" by Victor Ath- erton; the anthems, "I'm Tram- pin," and "Jericho Road." Hymn singing by the congrega- tion was led by William Sewell and accompanied by Ron Kellington at the organ. Other numbers were "Down Deep in the Sea" and "The Love of God" by the choir; the ten- or solo, "Father Guide Our Na- tion" by W. Sewell; "Wonderful Words" by the choir with a tenor solo by W. Sewell; and '"When He Calls". The recital closed with a rendition of '"The Lord's Prayer" by Mallotte. Now don't be lazy if you're having a devil of a time with your plumbing--don't delay.

PLUMBING REPAIR SPECIALISTS" PHONE 3-272 Is Speaker Whitby Chiet the | The monthly meeting "of Men's Own Fellowship of Albert Street United Church was held last week with the usual recreation period previous to the program. Rev. S. C. H. Atkinson opened with a lively sing-song of favorite hymns, giving high praise to the men and seeing no reason why such a group couldn't fill our choir's loft at some future date. President, Wilbur Down, took over and introduced eath partici- pant on the program. First, Mrs. Mervin Morrison favored with two good solos namely, "The Blue Bird of Happiness" and "Keep on Hop- ing", which were greatly applaud- ed, Frank Sullivan did a good job at the camera by showing the film, "Australia's Coral Wonderland'. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Fletcher, Chief of Police, Whitby. His topic, "The Job There is for You and I to Do" was very interesting, Siressing quite forcibly that the youth of today needs more training and father and son com- panionship in the home, in order to cut down the amount of crime being committeed by teen-agers of today. So many homes lacking in Christianity being held largely re- sponsible. Following this splendid address, another film entitled 'People of the Skena" was shown after which refreshments were enjoyed, thus bringing to a close a very en- joyable evening.

Then fol- | lowed a light and humorous inter- val under the direction of Ro- tarians Harold Washington and | Stewart R. Alger. Topping of this | portion of the entertainment was a variety program of real merit presented by professional talent from Toronto. During the dinner Nancy Higgins, with Matthew Gouldburn at the piano, kept the 108s of all tapping to their melo- ies. The evening was arranged by Ro- tarian George F. Shreve and the members of the Rural-Urban Com- | mittee of the service Club. Mr. | Shreve extended & welcome to tire | guests and introduced the head ta- | {ble which included His Worship | { Mayor W. J. Naylor, Ald. Norman | Down, president of the South On- tario Agricultural Society; T. C. Glaspell, superintendent of the Royal Winter Fair; George Mec- Laughlin and Stanley Lovell, Ro- tary Secretary. Mr. Graham was introduced by George McLaughlin; while the thanks of the gathering was voiced by Mr. Glaspell who referred to the fact that at the first gathering of the Sodbusters' Club, Hon. T. L. Kennedy, former Ontario minister | of agriculture was the speaker. He was introduced on that occasion by | one of Ontario County's leading farmers, the late William A. Dry- den. The thanks of the guests to the Rotary Club was expressed by Ross Lee. Prefacing his remarks, Mr. Gra- of rural-urban relations across the province. The boundary line of any urban community is not the line where it meets the next munici- pality, but rather the last rural home from which people go to {trade in the urban centre. {A TRUE SCIENCE Mr. Graham emphasized that | agriculture today is a science | dealing with the cultivation of land {and the growigz of crops and the production of Hlvestock. He pointed to the fact that in 1941 there were 178,000 farms in Ontario while in 1951 the total was 149,000. In 1941 the average farm consisted of 125 acres while in 1951 the average holding was 139 acres. This meant that approximately 7 percent of the land had been taken out of farm- ham commented that it was such meetings as this which had played | an important part in the building | ing; while on the other hand the grass production had increased over 26 percent. | With the reduction in the amount of land under cultivation -and the | increase in production, the conclu- | 4 sion which must be drawn is that the responsibility is falling upon fewer shoulders. In turn this means high efficiency is necessary if the production per acre and per man is to be maintained. Answering the question of how such a record is accomplished, Mr. Graham de€lared that mechaniza- tion, specialization, research and science have all played their part. In 1953 there were 49 tractor clubs' among junior farmers in the province as well as 33 machinery clubs. It was also pointed out that as the province grows older, its peo- ple should be able to decide what type of soil and location is best suited for certain crops.
