With food prices soaring daily
and housewives. frantically seek-
ing for economical: foodstuffs to
adequately feed their families it
may be that before long we will
not be sure of exactly what we'
are eating. Scientists are ex-
perimenting with all kinds of sub-
stitutes. The sea, they tell us,
has an unlimited supply of strange,
things that may In the not distant
future yield food for our 'tables..
4mong them. a plankton-like
minute antarctic fish. People
on fixed incomes are having..a
difficult time making ends meet._
If the price rise continues, the
time may come when many of us
will not be so choosy and will
be glad to eat anything that is
healthful and a reasonable price.
Not so many years ago the
crystal clear water of the Mait-
land River in Brussels,, both
above the dam and west of the
bridge, were favourite swimming
spots. Now anyone concerned
with their health and pollution
would think twice before taking a'
dip in our, once sparkling river.
Pollution, however, did not deter
a mother duck taking her young
ducklings 'on the river one
morning la* week. They were
seen disporting themselves on the
Maitland east of the bridge with
apparent enjoyment with mother
duck in, careful supervision of
their activities.

Many of our villagers find a
problem on, their hands when they
have rubbish, such as that left
when they have had repairs made
to their buildings
'
etc., to dis-
pose of. -Much of this type
of thing can not be included in
the regular garbage-collection.
They have to locate someone with
a truck who ist willing to pick
it up. and haul it away. Finding
such a person to do the job can
be difficult. Paying to have it
done can be costly these days
when money seems to vanish with
amazing speed when' providing
even the necessities of life.

The weather smiled on the
then's softball tournament held
here over the weekend when 16
teams battled it out in 22 games.
It created a great deal of interest
and excitement. These tourna-
ments are good for our,village.
They bring a lot of outsiders in
who are additional customers,
especially for those who provided
refreshments, for ballplayers
are both hungry and thirsty.

Raspberries and blueberries
are two very popular candidates
for jam making. However, too
often we overlook the little red
and black currants which make
delicious jams and jellies alone
or in combination with other
fruits. If there is not enough
time now to make jam from the
fresh currants they may be frozen
for use at a later time. Whole
currants should be washed and

Handle them as little as possible
