Suggests interest rate relief for farmers...
•from page 6
Manitoba 21 percent and Ontario only
8 percent.
For starters I would suggest in-
terest rate relief under the Ontario
Farm Adjustment Assistance
emergency program for financially
distressed farmers should subsidize
interest rates by four percent down to
eight percent. The O.F.A.A.P.
eligibility criteria should be relaxed
to include farmers with less than 10
percent equity.
Surface knowledge or psychological
tricks may entice some people but if
you want to make politics your profes-
sion, there is no firmer rock to build
on than a foundation of spiritual
wisdom.
Is this some naive pie in the sky?
Not at all. In my estimation, that's
where genuine sincerity comes from,
and sincerity is political power. It's
more powerful than any learned
technique. It's putting why ahead of
how - the secret of successful
Democracy.
You've got the ball now Mr. Tim-
brell. Might I suggest that you move
with it. Don't spin your tires, this is
your opportunity to establish a suc-
cessful political career.

be exiled as well, and new ones
invented.
Scientists and all other enlightened
people will be quick to applaud our
courage and farsightedness. The ben-
efits to science, to clarity of commun-
ication, to world trade and under-
standing are stupendous. Imagine
calculating the elapsed time from 3.13
and 47 seconds AM to 9.08 and 12
seconds PM in the old way. Very
laborious, like subtracting Roman
numerals. Now, however, with the
metock, we simply subtract 1.3457176
from 8.8068444.
There is another ramification (or
'ram', for short) of this particular
'con'. (Sir! I trust your shredder is in
good working worder.) As you know,
there are two dimensions to disorien-
tation --space and time. 1 believe we
have succeeded passably well with
regard to the former. Weight and
volume, length, distance, speed,
temperature. Who now, among Can-
adians, feels at home in his spatial
universe? With the metock, (Say, how
about "Canclock"?) we can do for
time what we've done already for
space.
I'll close now as your imagination
must be soaring, as always. Your
humble servant, political supporter,
and obsequious appointee.
why did his grandfather change his name?
To the Editor:
1 have been doing research on my
great, great grandparents who lived in
Lucknow and the Bruce County area
c.1850-1868. I have been told that my
great, great grandfather changed his
name to John McDougall from an
unknown name to avoid going to war.
He and Isabelle lived on under the
name McDougall ever after. She was
supposedly married to a Charles
Campbell who allegedly was killed in
the Crimean War.
1 am having difficulty understand-
ing why a resident in Canada at that
time would have gone to the Crimean
War of England and Russia, 1854.
Also, why would my grandfather have
changed his name to avoid going to
war, was there a draft or something?
How can I find out about this and
how can I find a record of my
grandparents marriage in Woodstock,
Ontario, November 27, 1857. It is
supposed to be in Lucknow. 1 don't
mean to impose with genealogical
questions, but this is really important,
and I am at a loss for where else to
turn. I have already joined the Ontario
Genealogy Society.
I would greatly appreciate any
assistance.
Sincerely,
Jim McDougall,

Drainage pays off
in soil aeration
Good drainage aerates the sail, providing several berets
Release of nitrogen from organic matt Is accelerated and
sal warms up faster since heat is not required for surface
evaporation
A test in Ohio once showed a 12 degree difference
between drained and undrained land on one April day
And when o warm rain telt there was o 20 degree
difference between the temperature of the rain and the tile
discharge+ Soil temperatures make a vast difference to
