Agricultural
Tidbits:
With Adrian Vos
We all heard .a lot lately -about
the preservation of agricultural
land, land use planning and the
restrictions that can be placed upon
the livestock 'farmer by the,
encroachment of urbanites in rural
areas. It seems that many farmers
themselves don't see the danger of
this encroachment. Often they are
the ones. Who want non-farm
residences built on their land in
order to get a fair sum of money
which will benefit' them in the short
run so they can pay off a good part
of their mortgage or pay for that
expansion they have in mind. 'In
other cases* is the retiring farmer
who wants to stay close to the place
where he has lived mos Of his life
and wants to sever a pi ce of land
to build his retirement home.
e INVITATIONS
O ANNOUNCEMENTS
ip ACCESSORIES
Both cases are shortsighted. The
farmer who wants the money for
expansion is really painting himself
into a corner. It's possible that the
persons who build in the first place
won't object to the odours from his
livestock, but 'who can promise
what the next owner will do? It is
quite possible that the farmer, will
be forced out of the livestock
business. This has been; proven
last month in the Niagara area
where a chicken farmer will have to
spend $27,000 for elaborate pollu-
tion control equipment or lose his
business by court order. ' When a
person buys a piece of land he has,
by law the right to enjoy that land,
and if odours prevent him from this
enjoyment he can force the
livestock man out of business.
If the retiring farmer severs a
corner of his land it is unlikely that
he will sue his son for country
smells, but if and when he dies or
moves to the old peoples home, the
house will be sold and he did his
son or the chap he sold the farm to
a real disservice because of the
severance.
If he wants to retire without
TODAY'S HEALTH
by David Woods
Sight is perhaps the, most pre-
cious and valuable of all the senses,
and for centuries man has turned.
his .inventiveness to improving and.
extending the capacity of the naked
eye. 'Untold thOusands of important
discoveries first came to light
through a telescope or microscope,
from the identification of germs to
the sPace program.
But for millions of people the
ability to see everyday things, and
not just the exotic, is' owed to a
variety .of "visual aids" that have
ranged from Monocles, quizzing-
glasses, pince-nez and lorgnettes to
tinted contact lenses and plastic
pilot glasses.
Not that' fashion is the only
changing element in the instruments
people use to see better: technology
has now set its sights on constantly
updating the means to Amprove
vision, as well as focusing on safety
and comfort factors.
For example, in the past five or
10 years, plastic. has been, used in-
creasingly in the manufacture of
eye-glasses, • making them much
lighter to wear — and shatterproof,'
too. Optically, says Dr. John' Speak-
man, head of the department of
ophthalmology at Toronto's Sunny-
brook Hospital, plastic glasses are
just "as effective as conventional
ones: also, they may last longer
even though they need more care-
ful handling because the lenses can
easily be scratched.
Another quite recent develop.-
mein is the use of toughened glass
in spectacles — much the same kind
as is used in car windshields. Such
glasses are becorning increasingly
popular because they're less dan-
gerous when broken, tending to
crkimble or powder rather than
shattering into splinters.
There are also glasses that have
having• to buy an expensive lot in
the village, he can make an
arrangement with the person who
buys the farm, be it his son or a
stranger to build a house without
'severing. This way the house will
be part of the farm and it precludes
future troubles.
'a filter effect, turning grey in strong
light and, their manufacturers
claim, eliminating the need for the
wearer to carry a pair of sun-
glasses as well. Much recent' pro-
gress has been 'made in the devel-
opment'of specially ground magni-
fying devices that fit onto existing
glasses, enabling older people whose
eyesight has degenerated consider-
ably to read again.
But perhaps the greatest advances
have been made with contact lenses.
These alternativ glasses have
been improve eme ously since
they first ca e on 'the scene in the
1920s. The latest ones are made
neither of glass' nor, of plastic, but
of a sort of pliable gel. Thus, apart
from their cosmetic advantages over
glasses, they are far safer for use
by sportsmen. Some of 'the newer
contact lenses Can even Change e),e
color for those who don't like the
color they were born with. And
there are also small lenses that fit
snugly onto the cornea without ha‘-
ing to be inserted into the v,hole
. eye.
A lot of people have switched to
contact I9nses because the lenses
are virtually undetectable, and cer-
tainly less cumbersome to wear. On
the other hand, says Dr. Speakman.
many contact lenses spend more
time in the bathroom cabinet than
in actual use because the owners
find that fitting them onto the 'cor-
nea and the constant looking after
they require proves a chore. And,
adds Dr. Speakritan, if glass contact
lenses aren't worn regularly the.
can irritate the eyes, while, plastic
or gel may not cause irritation.
