I had the nicest Christmas list,
The longest one in town,
Till Daddy looked at it and said,
"You'll have to cut it down."
I knew that what he said was true
Beyond the faintest doubt, '
But was amazed to hear him say,
. "You've left your best Friend out."
And so I scanned my list again,
And said, "Oh, that's not true!"
But Daddy said, "His name's not there,
That Friend who died for you."
And then I clearly understood,
'Twas Jesus that he meant;
For Him who should come first of all
I hadn't planned a cent!
I'd made a Christmas birthday list,
And left the Saviour out!
But, oh, it didn't take me long
To change the list about.
And tho' I've had to drop some names
Of folks I like a lot,
My Lord must have the most—because
HIS NAME IS AT THE TOP!

Shorthorn Club meets Legislature discuss senior citizens bonus
Mr. McDonnell said yester-
day's cattle don't sell en
today's market As he described
the kind of beef animal wanted
in the market-place now.
Mr, McDonnell said the for-
mer trend was for a small,
blackish animal with fat, with
the Shorthorn being one of the
most popular breeds.
Today the new trend in the
beef system calls for a larger,
more muscled animal, with not
too much fat cover, he said.
Mr, McDonnell talked about
breeds, the purebreds, the
exotics and crossbreeding. He
said it does not matter what
the breeding is as long as it is
the right kind of animal wan-
ted by the buyers.
He spoke on the cutability of
beef cattle, using slides to
demonstrate his comparison of
a fat type and a well muscled
type. He also demonstrated
how to recognize the better
types of market cattle by deter-
mining the finish or amount of
fat by looking at the animal,
BY WILMA OKE
Elvey Brodhagen of RR 1
Brunner was eleeted president
of the Ferth-Huron Shorthorn
Club at the annual dinner
meeting at the United Church
in Egmondville last Friday. He
succeeds Frank Falconer of RR
5, Clinton.
Other officers elected were:
vice-presidents, Rose Proctor of
RR 5 Brussels, and Ken
McWhinney of RR I, Lucknow;
and secretary-treasurer, Gerald
Smith of RR 2, Brussels.'
Mr. Proctor was named
"nominee' director to the On,
tario Shorthorn Club.
Douglas McDonnell,
Toronto, assistant-manager of
the Ontario Public Stockyards,
spoke on the stockyards. He
said it was the biggest terminal
market in Canada. It is owned
by the company but the
livestock are sold by the 65
registered buyers or corn-
FAssioners. He said the cost of
these selling services is one to
one and one quarter per cent
On the November 23 debate
i
n supplements even to old
ge pensioners several liberal
nd NDP members in the
legislature voiced their disgust
at the government's proposal to
give the senior citizens only $50
as a bonus.
They felt the government was
being unfair in the amount as
the needs of the pensioners
must far surpass the proposed
$50.
Jack Riddell, member ' for
Huron also had some com-
ments on the amount.
May I ask the minister who
introduced this bill whether he
will actually be able to feel the
true spirit of Christmas which
is upon us, knowing that the
old age pensioners have been
subjected to nothing more than
an insult as a Christmas
present from this government?
The minister knows and we all
know in this Legislature that
the $50-bonus is nothing more
than a shot in the arm to
deaden the pain.
I am wondering if the
minister has taken time from
his busy schedule to review a
typical' budget for old age pen-
sioners. Now $15 per week is
not an unrealistic figure for
such items as telephone, fuel,
property taxes„ life insurance,
fire insurance, car insurance,
car licences, newspapers and
other reading material, Con-
sidering today's high food
prices, pensioners cannot get by
with less than $15 per week.
Pensioners should not be
denied the right to drive a car
providing they are able to meet
the requirements of the
Ministry of Transportation and
Communications and so it is
necessary to set aside $5 a week
for car allowance. This would
cover the cost of fuel and minor
car repairs. It is not
unreasonable to expect that $5
per week must be set aside for
emergencies, in the case of
sickness and what have you,
TV repairs, major car repairs
and minor house repairs.
Since last May fuel has gone
up 2.4 cents a gallon, gasoline
has gone up five cents a gallon,
Hydra rates went up last spring
and will go up another 10 per-
cent on the first of the year. It
goes without saying that food
prices have increased tremen-
dously in the last six months.
The budget figures which I
have just presented are really
low in light of 'the various in-
creases. Nevertheless, the total
amount of that budget is ap-
proximately $40 per week
which, strange as it may seem,
coincides with the total basic
old age pension and maximum
Guaranteed Income Sup-
plement for individual pen-
sioners.
Surely, Mr. Speaker, the old
age pensioner is entitled to
more than simply a struggle for
survival. Surely the pensioners
should not be denied such
things as a haircut periodically
or a visit to the hairdresser
once or twice a year.
Surely the old age pensioner
should not be denied the oppor-
tunity to purchase clothing,
shoes, pens, pencils, writing
paper and envelopes? Surely
the old age pensioner should
not be denied the opportunity
to communicate and share in
the spirit of Christmas with
friends at Christmastime with
such things as Christmas cards
and a few presents?
Surely the old age pensioner
should not be made to feel that
he or she can no longer con-
tribute to the church, which is,
Agricultural Tidbits in many cases, the only pillar of
strength remaining to them? As
one of my constituents said: Oh
how nice it would be to be able
to afford to go to a restaurant
fora meal once in a while. We
would dearly like to be able to
visit friends or relatives who
are ill in the hospital and to
send them some small item
that might add cheer to their
lives. We would like to send
funeral flOwers when necessary,
Even when our oldest
daughter, husband and four
children come to visit us, they
provide the food because they
know we can't. Can you
imagine the hurt and
humiliation that heaps on our
heads and in our hearts?
There appears to be money
available to give criminals and
convicted murderers a better
standard of living than we are
receiving. There appears to be
large grants available to people
who have paid little or no taxes
on anything, in their life. The
government claims there is no
way to put a freeze on rising
prices or wages, yet our living
standards seem to be frozen
even lower, and we do not even
have the recourse of being able
to strike.
My husband is 67 and I am
65, and instead of being able to
look ahead to a decent and
dignified living, all there ap-
pears to be is a bare existence
well below the poverty level,
due to our inability to work
because of our age, I am
writing this letter, not just for
ourselves, but in the hope that
perhaps there will be something
done about the living con-
ditions of all people who, like
us, are forced through no fault
of their own, to live in this way.
I hope you understand that
we are not asking for something
which we do not need, but for a
decent living and some of the
good things in life that God in-
tended us to have.
Mr. Speaker, my• simple
request is that the minister
gives this matter serious con-
sideration when he has the
chance to observe the activities
of the less fortunate this Christ-
mas. And I'm sure, if he has
any conscience at all, he will
not hesitate one minute, when
the session reconvenes, to im-
plement my leader's amend-
'ment into legislation.
with Adrian Vos
The Standards Council of Canada reports that the people
who complain most as consumers, are those who can afford
to pay, are educated and are English speaking. The same
was said in the U.S; at the time of the meat boycott last
spring. Many of these people apparently have never learned
what a good balanced diet is. Take the Ornsteins, a Mon-
treal family with an income of $15,000-$18,000. The
Canadian magazine reported that they spent $37.50 weekly
on food. She calls hot dogs a basic staple for kids. I don't
want to comment on the food value of hot dogs. Draw any
conclusion you like. It's a good deal of fats and cereals.
The Ornsteins can only afford ribsteak once a month, the
poor devils. When they had visitors, four of them, recently,
they had to feed them brisket and the cheapest vegetable
they could find, tsk, tsk. They can't afford imported wines
anymore either, they must make do with Canadian wine.
Ellen is a part time school teacher and her husband is an
engineer. They have one consolation, the savings on bacon.
Their religion forbids them eating this.

From: Dear Ann Landers: We live in an area that has had
several breaking. My wife asked me to buy a watchdog. I've
heard that pigs are smarter than dogs and I'd like to try a
watchpig. Have you heard of this? Do you think my neigh-
bours would mind? Tallahassee reader. - No comment.

Sometimes concern is expressed about the increased size of
landholdings in Canada. Take for instance people like Jack
Horner of Alberta who owns some 18,000 acres. In Denmark
they put a stop to this by limiting land-holdings to 500 acres.
Prince Edward Island is getting concerned too. A royal com-
mission there recommended 200 acre limits for land on all
partnerships and companies.

You may have thought that they were out of style, but an
American company has charged that Canadian horse shoes
are dumped on their market and want something done about
it.
