Professor Robinson said they were surpris- ed at the number of people who - had Odds n' ends turned out to express their concern. He explained he was interested in manu re for a number of reasons. He said the two products you get from an animal are meat and manure and that manure has more of the nutrients, 75 per cenilof them. He said the University of Guelph is concerned about preserving that nutrient and ensuring that manure is treated and handled so the nutrient is preserved. "We're trying to develop a system that farmers Can *fiord.

He said some guidelines have begun to be drafted on earthen storage pits which would prevent environmental contamination, such as testing soil for the right permeability . making certain the pit is a certain distance away from a channel and the neighbour. Reeve Williamson said "We have this petition that's concerned about ground- water and the way it disappears in a particular area, "Where does.the fecal material that 'shows u pin our wells come from?" one than wanted to know, "It cettalnlY doesn't ;One front earthen thii*townocp."

He also provideelt cost comparison between concrete and earthen tanks. Mr. Kains said concrete tanks are running 7-9 cents a gallon compared to a half cent to two cents for an earthen pit.

Most successful stand-up comedians hire combination of good material and witty delivery makes a winning team. If either ingredient is below par. the show can flop. A writer may remain anonymous. It's the guy on stage who ,takes the risks, facing a booing audience or worse - silence. An ordinary storyteller takes fewer risks. All he wants to do is share with friends a funny story he heard. Some people are born' -sfOrytellers; others are not. I am one of those who have trouble repeating a joke. No matter how hard I try, it seems to lose its zing in, my translation. My biggest problem is remembering the tale. I can spend a. whole night trying to recall a gag. hi' the meantime, I miss everyone else's funny stuff. I've tried writing down a joke as soon as hear it. But people seem to lose interest if I say: "Have I got u joke for you 1 Wait. Wait. I wrote it downn. It's in my purse. I'll find it in a sec." Instead I usually try to wing it. A stutter, a stammer, a long pause. and I've lost my audience. --- Sometimes I'm on a great roll, and I've got everybody hanging on my every word - waiting for the punch line. And the punch line is the part I forget. The worst experiences are when I finish a story and chuckle at my own humour. Then I notice blank faces staring at me. Running over the story in my mind, I realize I left out the most important part. No wonder no one understood what I was talking aboti At other times, I carefully relate ; e tale. I know I told every detail exactly the way [IN heard it. Why then does no one-laugh when I finish? Well, some people just have no sense of humour. Kids are the most honest peoptSon earth, and' one of them is liable to state loud and clear, "That's not funny." Of course. I can reply, "It's over your head, sonny." On other occasions: I just grin sheepishly and mutter, "Yon had to be there to appreciate how really funny it was." Sympathy is extended to Kevin and Laurie and also Mr. and Mrs. Ed.
