We say "wisely" because we believe the business 16aders of London ,would be foolish indeed if they approved such a resolution, at- taelting as it does one of the most significant developments ever made in the agriculture in- dustry whose members provide the city with a substantial portion of its trading dollar. Let's consider, point by point, this resol- ution about marketing legislation. Discriminatory? What section of the pop- ulace do marketing laws discriminate against? Certainly not the farmer, because the legislation provides means by which he, through collective bargaining, gets the best price he can for his product; certainly not the processor willing to pay the price requested by the marketing board; certainly not the consumer, because he doesn't have to buy the product at any price if he doesn't want to. Robs Canadians of their basic freedoms to bargain? fn our opinion, it's exactly the opposite. Marketing legislation gives farmers, perhaps for the first time. their basic freedom to bargain effectively for the best price they can receive (Christian Science Monitor) The gentle (or sprightly) kick under the table by devoted toe upon devoted shin. The swift arching of the eyebrows, the discreet lit- tle cough. Many a husband has come to rec- ognize these signals that the conversation is tobogganing toward hot water, that his tone is growing bumptious, his voice reaching into the higher decibels. How many husbands have lived to value the wifely reminder that the speedometer is leaving 60 behind and that the road lies ahead, not on the back seat with the charming guest? How, many fewer husbands have learned to for their product. Without collective bargaining, the power of the individual farmer to bargain with buyers is generally infinitesimal. His in- dividual strength can be compared to that of a• single worker in a factory employing thous- ands, • Potentially harmful to the consumer? Haw can it be? All marketing boarkls admit that in the overall picture, it is supply and demand which sets the price of the product. Who cre- ,ates the demand for foodstuffs but consumers? The proposal turned down by the London Chamber of Commerce committee resulted from a discission involving spokesmen for consumers, agriculture and business on the farm marketing question, t'lle issue will be discussed at a further date, We commend the Chamber for taking an interest in this vital agricultural de- velopment but we suggest it considers all of its aspects thoroughly before it comes to any de- cision In its fight for survival, the agriculture industry should expect support from urban cen- tres which farmers help to sustain. Certainly Landon is one of these. A vote of confidence in, and encouragement for, the farmers' program to improve their position in the economy would be a small but significant, token for London businessmen to pay in appreciation of the sup- port they have received throughout the years from the farmers of Western Ontario. swallow gracefully such challenges to the male's omnicompetence? Happy are those who have! A Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice has promulgated the opinion that "the husband- father is still king at the wheel of his car," and that the wife should "remain silent". Iowa's state safety commissioner retorts that he's an expert witness on backseat driving and against nagging as much as anycine, But: A wife has more purpose in a car than to bang her head through the windshield if hubby makes a driving mistake. The safety commissioner is married; the eminent jurist is a bachelor. Early Files 25 Years Ago CLINTON .NEWS-RECORD 'Thursday, April 13, 1.933. A wet day dampened but failed to spoil Clinton's- 28th Spring Stock Show. 13y great good luck the rain held up 'daring the afternoon while the judging was taking place and the stock exhibit was of a very high order. J. X. Guard- house, Weston, was. again the judge of heavy horses, while a former citizen, Dr. W, J, R, Fow- ler„ Guelph, who certainly knows a good horse when he sees one, gave the decisions on light horses, Some men were talking the oth- er do about the length of time- it was since the' Clinton Spring Fair was Started and one man ex- pressed the opinion that it must be "well on to twenty years." Ac- tually, this year's fair was the twenty-eighth. The first wee held April 5, 1906, and was reported a success, 10 Years Ago CLINTON NEWS-RECORD Thursday, April 8, 1948 Fred Parry has sold his "Snack Bar" to Mr. and Mrs. William Fleischauer, who are operating the business, located on Huron Street, near the main intersection, They have re-named the restaurant, "Ruby and Bill's Snack Bar", The largest fire to strike this district for a considerable time completely destroyed one of W.

So finally I yielded and let him have it. hated to give up my owh copy, with those notes I needed, but I felt that a book so earnestly desir- ed would surely be read and stud- ied."

Luke 11: 29-54 Thursday Luke l'2: 1-24 Friday Luke 12: 35-39 Saturday Luke 14: 1-35 SUGAR an SPICE (By W. -(Bill) B. `I, Smiley) My daughter asked me a quest- resolved that I'd be the founder eon that had me stumped, the oth- of international, non-denomination- er evening. I'd just finished tell- al Children's Day. I'd be famous, ing her a bed-time story about like the old skirt who invented Munkle-Unkle-Unky, the great- Mother's Day. I'm not a child, but grandfather of all the monkeys in she wasn't a mother, and look the jungle, and one of her favour- what a rat-race she started, ite characters. * The old ape had just put a herd of wild elephants to rout, by spit• ting thumbtacks among them, from his perch in the Biggest Tree in the Jungle. Kim thought the story was about average, and con- descended to utter a couple of amused snorts when I reeled around the room, holding one foot in the air and howling with pain, as I made like a wild elephant which had stepped on a thumb- tack. * ,, Then she popped her question, which, as usual had no connect- ion whatever with anything that was ,going on. I was just tucking her in, when she turned the big orbs on me, and asked: "Daddy, if there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, why isn't there a Children's Day?" • I tried to laugh it off, and told her every day was Children's Day, around our house. After she was asleep, though, when I was sit- ting downstairs trying to pick out the choice parts in Peyton Place Without reading the whole, lousy novel, I got thinking about it. The more I pondered, the more I was convinced there should be a Children's Day. After al], child- ren are pretty important. It there were no children, there wouldn't be any mothers or fathers. If there were no mothers and fathers, there'd be no Mother's Day and Father's Day, If those two great annual farces were abolished, our retail merchants would be teeter- ing on the brink of ruin. See where logic can lead you? Gradually, as T considered it, the cruelty and thoughtlessness of the . whole thing ate into my soul like iron, The pore little kids. We give up all our peace on earth for them, work our heads to the bone, 'sacrifice, and slave for them, but We'et too selfish to give the most important people in the world-- Our Children—one single, erumby little day of their own. * • *1 "By George," I said to myself (I was getting pretty worked up) "It's Inhuman!

VOICE OF INEXPERIENCE 41 From Our 40 Years. Ago CLINTON NEW ERA Edeness in Canada is now pun- ishable by penalty,. An order-in- council received in the House by the prime minister enacts that "all persons domiciled in Canada shall, IA the „absence of reasonable cause to contrary, engage in useful occupations." This is a wartime measure and does not effect the right of labor to strike, Mrs. G, Saville is visiting with friends in Londesboro, for a few days this week, • J. Sehoenhals has had a 50 hp, electric motor placed in the flour mill, owing to the high cost of fuel. The connections are being. made this week. S. B, Strothers, Huron County agricultural representative-, was at Goderich on Tuesday addressing 'a meeting under the auspices of the Greater Production Commit- tee, CLINTON NEWS-RECORD The manager of Molson's Bank, H. R. Sharp, and T. Mason, who assisted him, had, a busy morning on Saturday last when 32 young pigs were given out to the memb- ers of The Molson's Bank Pig 'Club. It would be hard to say which were the most excited, the children or the pigs, The Bank is supplying the pigs to the child- ren at cost and will buy them back about October at the market price, The Bank is to be commended for doing their bit to increae prod- uction, While handling express at the depot one day last week Henry Sloman took a tumble from a truck and splintered the bone in his left. waist, Although obliged to carry the wounded member in a sling, Henry is still holding down his job, Mrs. W. J. Nediger spent the weekend with Preston friends. Bert Johnson has returned to his school at Port Burwell. (By the Rev. W. H. Moore) The desire of some of the In- dians of Bolivia for the Scriptures is illustrated by a story which cur- iously resembles the traditional ac- count of interview ot Mary Jones with Rev. Thomas Charles„ A missionary colporteur writes: "after I had completely sold out of all the Quechua Gospels I had taken along, an intelligent Indian came and begged me to sell him a Quechua New Testament, I ex- plained to him that I had none left, but he.replied "Sell me your own," I told him that it contained many of my notes and markings, and that I needed it to' use in preaching. He was anxious to get off home, and begged me again to sell it, Replying that I still need- ed it to preach at least once more, he said, "Very well; I shall wait Since then, I've given it a lot of thought, and I think I have the details pretty well ironed out. I'm anticipating a little trouble with a few old-fashioned mothers and fathers, but I think the vast maj- ority of modern, progressive dopes —uh, I mean parents—will be with me. *. * We want to make it a red-leter day. Something the children will look forward to with fiendish de- light. And the parents with undis- guised tear and trembling. First thing to do, of course, is to get up before them in the morn- ing. This may require staying up all night, but it'll 'be worth it, be- cause, you see, we'll be giving them breakfast in bed. They're to have anything they want for breakfast, even if it's a bag of jelly-beans. * * And that sort of sets the pat- tern for the day. The kids are to have, and do, absolutely anything they want. They've been saying for weeks that it's tar too hot to wear a jacket and hat. O.K. Let them go out in their bare heads and feet, even if you have to nurse them for a week, afterwards. School is Out, as are lessons and practice off all kinds. If they want to go picking pusyy-willows in the swamp, let them, And if they come home mud to the eye-halls, greet them cheerily, * * Answer all their, questions im, mediately and exhaustively. None of this grunting: "Ask your fath-, er," Keep thinking up new things for them to do and eat. Let them watch TV as long as they like, and in the evening, send them off to the movies. When they get home, give them a little benzedrine and keep them up all night, read- ing stories to them. * * The more I think of it, the more wonderful the idea seems, It would be sheer hell for the pares ents, but I think one treatment would be enough. I haven't quite had the nerve to set the date tot the first one. However, I think we can set it, tentatively, for some time in the year the Social Credit party takes over the government Of Canada, Fair enottgli't North.
