      _________________

      An example of the sincerity of the Old Order Mennonites in their methods of fighting social welfare benefits was revealed today by Harry Edenborough, manager of the Silverwood Dairies Ltd., in Elmira, Mr. Edenborough said there are approximately 200 Old Order shipping to the plant. At least 10 percent of them consistently refuse to accept the government subsidy for milk...At this time of the year, a subsidy payment is more than $120 a month. This means he is refusing up to $1,200 a year. He felt it was a handout from the government which he had not earned. We have 20 to 25 of these people who refuse payments
