I haven't been doing too well with keeping these articles rolling.
Once in a while there isn't room in the paper and I miss a week.
Then I think I have an article ahead and two appear in the next
issue and Pm behind again. That's ok. with me I just hope that
you people enjoy reading them and maybe you get something to
think about from them.
On top of all this, I took off with my wife and the family that is
still at home with us for Texas so I guess I'll be missing from the
paper for two weeks by the time you read this,
We had a very good trip, First we left the Thursday night before
the big storm that you people at home had to struggle through.
We did have a little rain Friday forenoon but the driving was good
and the afternoon and Saturday were pleasantly warm and sunny
though there were stronger winds blowing than we are accustomed
to. We arrived at my brother and sister-in-law's home in Lubback,
Texas about 7:30 p.m. our time - 6:30 their time Saturday a
distance of 1605 miles.
We attended church Sunday morning and enjoyed a good ser-
mon and found the people very friendly. It was rather amusing to
find several remarking that they had never met, anyone from
Canada before I wander what the reaction of these people will be
when they realize that my brother and his wife are also of
Canadian origin though they have been in the U.S. for almost 50
years and are naturalized U.S. citizens;
-Monday brought a game of golf. At best I'm not much of a golfer
and the Texas wind knew how to put my ball in the water traps a
lot better than I knew how to keep it out, However, it wasn't so
bad. I only sank three balls and then I found one that someone
else had lost so . I ended up only two down. It was fun,
Tuesday we drove out to the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico,
some 200 miles. It was well worth the trip but I won't attempt to
describe it as I couldn't do it justice the size is unbelievable,
equalling 14 football fields and at one point the roof towers 730 ft.
above the lowest point, It is made up of several adjoining caves
with amazing and beautiful rock formations requiring a three mile
walk to cover the tour.
Wednesday found me four days removed from the farm, so I had
to visit a feed lot-48,000 cattle all in feeding pens. -1,800 to 2,000
cattle'shipped out each week. The cattle are fed mainly on grain
sorghum but due to wet weather and a small crop they were begin-
ning to feed corn purchased from the Kansas City area in three
car-load lots at about $63 dollars per ton with a small portion of
compressed alfalfa from Mexico added. All feed is purchased,
Gain per day averaged a little over 2 lbs. per day.
In case any of you are feeling sorry for yourselves in the light of
this huge operation let me report that the Livestock report in the
Lubback paper listed 350 to 400 pound bull calves selling at $73 to
$78 per cwt. When I asked the feed lot manager how they
managed to make money at these prices his answer was brief and
simple "We can't". However he did tell me that a large percentage
of calves went into the feedlots last fall at $70 per cwt. The ex-
treme top for top finished steers was quoted $47.25, The extreme
top for top finsihed steers was -quote $47.25. Beef cuts in the stores
were priced slightly, lower than in city supermarkets here.
We headed home at a slower pace and visited the Palo Duro
canyon just south of Amarillo and the Cowboy Hall of Farm in
Oklahoma City. Both were quite interesting but overshadowed by
our visit to the Carlsbad Caverns.
We then travelled on to Tulsa and had our only disappointing
experience.
I got a reasonable supply of U.S. currency and travellers
cheques and took an extra supply of Canadian cash just in case we
ran a little short.
We needed a few dollars more in American money. Since I had
only paid 1 /4 percent exchange here I wasn't concerned until I'
went to a bank in Tulsa and was told that I could only get 90c on
he dollar as a special favour as they really didn't make a practise
if exchanging foreign currency. However they did direct me to a
ederal State Bank downtown Tulsa where they did exchange
urrency.
After a ten mile drive in city traffic I got 93c on the dollar. It
idn't pay! and certainly didn't instill in me a friendly feeling to
my U.S. neighbour. However we didn't have to get a tow for the
ast hundred miles to the border and arrived home safely from an
njoyable visit with home looking better than ever.

Ron McIntosh president of
Bluewater Cable T.V, Ltd, an-
nounced this week that there
are about 150 homes hooked up
at the present time in the Clin-
ton area. There are currently
seven men working on in-
stallation and construction of
the cable system in town.
According to Mr, McIntosh,
the town of Clinton and the for-
mer air base, Vanastra, will be
entirely hooked up by the end
of April. The cable system is
now available to many
residents of Goderich and
"response has been excellent"
reillied Ron.
The system brings in three
Detroit stations, five Bay City
stations, Hamilton, Wingham,
Windsor, London and will in
the near future provide the
communities of Clinton and
Goderich with a local station.
The local station will be of.
ficially turned over to the
people of these two centres
when enough viewers are
hooked up to give the station
the maximum of potential
viewing audience. When this
time comes, it will be up to the
residents to produce any
programs the station broad-
casts.
All equipment used in these
productions will be supplied by
Bluewater Cable T.V. Ltd. and
any training needed will gladly
be given by them. Mr. McIn-
tosh states that no previous ex-
perience is needed and that the
equipment is very easy to
operate. He also commented
that the company in no way
would attempt to influence the
type of programming that will
be shown as it would be left en-
tirely up to the discretion of the
community.
The production studio is very
near to completion. It is
estimated that around Septem-
ber enough viewers will be
hooked up to facilitate the
operation of this local station.
At that time the company
hopes that people in Clinton
and Goderich will band to-
gether in their respective com-
munities to form programming
groups to supervise productions
and topics.
Two channels to be added to
the system some time in 1973
are an E.T.V. station from
Toronto but to be relayed via
London on UHF. channel 19
