Let yourself go, now. Not three miles from here, they were eke- ing out their March, half-frozen, half-starved, half-blind. And I think about them — the Indians, nearing the bitter end of a bitter winter, in their long- houses. Men, women, children, dogs, pell-mell in a seventeenth century Nissen hut made of boughs and bark and skins. Two or three hundred human beings crawling over each other in about the space you and your family occupy. Cold. Hungry. Stench unbelievable. Smoke from cooking fires indescribable. The last of the meat gone. The maize reduced to a few hand- fuls. Spruce tea and moss stew on the menu. Hunting impossible because of the slush. Flabby breasts and swollen bellies. And always the cold. No refrigerators stocked with steaks and roasts and milk and eggs. No shelves of canned goods. No supermarket a few blocks away. No hel t, no light. No bath- room. No books, No television. And always the cold. A few cynics will add, "And no income tax, no mortgages, no insurance policies, no fuel bills, no ulcers, no doctor's bills." True. Wanna trade? Not I. I turn up the thermos- tat a bit. I mix a hot toddy. Then I sit by the fireplace, listening to the wind whistling around the house. I sniff the waft of pot roast from the kitchen, I pick up a book, put a record on the hi-fi. I listen to my wife, who is not fighting with Mrs. Abenaki about who gets the fire next, to make dog soup.

A project such as this one is exactly what the communities need and I trust that it will be most successful as I am quite convinced that the little extra co-ordinated effort by yourselves with the business men can pro- duce a 15% increase in business which will help to offset the '71/2% increase in the gross National product.

May I express my apprecia- tion of the outstanding edition of the Huron Soil and Crop News published by your paper. It was read with great interest.

Never before in our history has it been so imperative that the farm people should be kept in- formed of the latest developments in agriculture. It must be a great sense of satisfaction to you that you and your staff have played an im- portant part in this connection.
