In my last column I made a
boo-boo. Zero is no thing, except
when it is in the wrong place.
When I said that 2 million people
could live on the energy off 20,000
acres I did have a zero too many.
It should read 200,000 people can
live on the energy produced on
the land where the new city near
Nanticoke is to be built.
***** •
Robert Charter. of Blyth was so
kind to let me have a couple of
magazines to peruse date
December 1930 and May 1936.
The Toronto price for dressed
hogs was $13.50 to $14.50cwt.
Feed barley, 35-40 ct. Now,
almost 40 years later, the price is
three times as high for hogs and
six times as high for barley. I
could find nothing about wages
but I assume that they are about.
10 times higher. It
shows once more that the
producer has every right to
demand more for his products as
he is lagging behind the rest of
society in increasing' his standard of living, The name of the
Magazine is ,"The Canadian
'in and was published in Toronto.

I have a friend who lives in the
city as most people do. Harry is
somewhat different than most.
He is really interested in the farm
scene and would like to farm
someday himself. He is so
convinced that farming is the
best way to live that he almost
always is wrong. The best way to
demonstrate what I mean is' to
give a sample of a conversation
that I often have with him. When
talking about the hydro corridors
he said:"Why not? You sell the
land under it, for good money
which enables you to buy more
machinery, and they let you still
use the land as before.""But
Harry i "I said,"What do I need
more machinery for? On the other
hand, you may be right. I won't
allowed to work under the lines
when my combine or dump truck
is higher than 13.5 feet.Jt may be
that I have to buy a smaller
combine to harvest the crops
under the lines. The offered
' compensation however is not
enough to buy this extra
machine," Harry:' Well you can
• always buy some cattle and use it
as grazing and. Me. But my
cattle are in a feedlot. Do you.
want me to diSmantle my feedlot,
sell my crop machinery, erect
new fences and start all over
again working as Granipa did?"
'Harry: 'Yon do have a point
there'.''
Texas girl

at home,' she said. In Texas they
are required to take English,
Math, History and Social
Sciences, many of which are not
compulsory here.
On a tour of University of
Western Ontario, she had an
opportunity to look at one of their
calendars. She was very
impressed with the university and
the concept of centering on one
subject.
In the fall, Chesna will be
entering drama and psychology at
Hardin-Simmons University in
Abilene. While those are her
majors she said she would be
taking many other subjects each
semester.
The land itself has impressed
her. She enjoys the rolling hills.
`Our color of green is different
in Texas,' she said. 'Yours seems
to be so much richer.'
She does miss the sunsets
while here in Canada. 'Ours are
more vivid.'
Something new to Chesna is
the number of old buildings in the
country that have been carefully
preserved.
`It's really fascinating because
there are few old buildings in
Texas. At most, they may be 20
years old and anything older is
usually run down.' There are also
very few two storey houses.
Activities of teenagers don't
seem to vary according to
Chesna. Olton has a population of
18,000 people with little to do.
She enjoys going to see movies
with her friends and 'dragging
main' the same as many young
people in this area.
She has had a chance to get to
know many people in the area and
says that she has been 'treated it
nice.' 'p3ox
`People seem to be very ,
perceptive of my needs and
everyone I've met seemed glad to
have me which is a very good
feeling,' she added.
'I only hope I've represented
Texas well,' she continued,
`because it's a nice place to be
from.'
She believes the Lions program
is 'fantastic and truly spreads
peace.'
'Before I didn't know what the
relations were between the
United States and Canada. I was
amazed to see how well we get
along, she said.
also didn't know there was so
much American influence in
Canada,' she said. 'But you do
stand alone as a nation and I am
glad to see
Chesna thinks that she would
like to live here sometime in her
life,
'But there's really nO place like
home,' she added with a smile.
