News of Kippen Kippen W.I. The international meeting of Kippen East W.I. was held on February 19 -- the date the Women's Institute was formed in 1897. Mrs. D. Triebner was hostess and Mrs. M. Connolly co -hostess. The president , opened the meeting with a Valentine poem and one titled "Winter on the .Farm". The members an- swered the roll call by giving an interesting item read in the newspaper about another W.I. and telling what they were wearing from another country. An invitation was accepted from the Grand Bend W.I. for a fun afternoon on March 20th We get letters (continued from page 1) "sky", "womb", "motherhood", "grain of sand". Anyone for a sentimental game of Word Association? This poem is an ill-conceived bit of insufferable doggerel. Its langyage is. badly chosen, and its meter `runs like a corduroy road when the frost comes out in the spring. To take a vague and dreamy idea, and impregnate it with over-worked- words, does not mean the result will be poetry. This is known as the Inaccurate Conception. And persons who like to wallow in abstract emotionalism usually offend others and do more to hurt their cause than to nurture it. Imagine what "Ballad of the Unborn" will become when set to music. It will be a smash hit — they always are — right up there with' "Havin' My Baby' by the great American singer, Paul Anka. Theme song for the dewey- eyed. Remember that song a few years ago, that started off, "Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy..." One wonders who will record it ... the Mamas and the Papas aren't together any more ... It's so nice that we have a paper with fairness and integrity. One that publishes everything submitted, without regard for' tastefulness or vulgarity. Unlike the "Tablet" which originally ran the "Ballad of the Unborn". Just what is this "Tablet"? It is printed in New Zealand — is that where the New Zealots live? I will bet you a week's toenail cleanings that it is an extremist religious publication that prints this kind of junk to sicken and scare people. Now that the News -Record has set its precedent, is it prepared for its role as battle -ground for the inevitable ensuing harangue on the topic of abortion, murder, euthanasis, genocide, Naziism, venereal disease, corporal punishment, moral breakdown, red lipstick, and ad nauseam? Will, you follow the footsteps of the London Free Press, and publish 500 letters and be no more enlightened in the end? And as for Fay Clayton `and,. her un- speakably silly poem how dare she presume to speak for an unborn child — all she knows and speaks of, she has learned since. she was born. How can she seriously -gest that a fetus can M-- - -Ide i the wertd- 3ut aidM' the. womb-? --ff she can find good reasons for `opposing abortion, and can state them plainly, fine; but let us have no more of this cheap tear -jerking. Especially not in the name of poetry. One wonders at all this abortion ruckus. Such a waste of time and words. And medical facilities, What was the matter with the good old days — quick and simple — ten minutes with the vacuum cleaner and a rusty coat -hanger? That was dependable birth control too — no worries about another pregnancy. Do you suppose our society, as a whole, will 'ever learn to con- front reality, in spite of its oc- casional unpleasantness? Will we ever cease- bickering over philosophical fine points? Will we be able to seek the plain facts, and have the sense to be rationally guided by them? Will we acquire the taste and wisdom to reject trash like "Ballad of the Unborn" and all similar abortive attempts at perversifying, and chuck them all into the garbage can, where they belong? Will we learn to forgive those who wear red lipstick? Will we embrace all geese as our brothers? Will all men become equal? Will all women become, if not exactly equal, at least as equal as can be expected, under the circumstances? Only the tanner flays a dead horse to any gain, and I shall leave him his task; and further, having no wish to be smothered in a deluge of tracts and hate literature, I find I must do the regular thing done by all bold persons who use your forum to speak out on burning issues, therefore: in the great tradition of Concerned Citizen, Proud Mother, Irate Taxpayer, Stuffed Shirt, Chronic Grouse, and Indignant Misfit, I am, sincerely, Watermelon Enthusiast. and a donation was made to the Mental Health Association and also to a family in the com- munity.

No matter in what mood you get out of bed, plan to take time for a good breakfast. In the morning, the body's supply of blood sugar, which is the basic fuel for the brain and central nervous system, is at its lowest point. At least 'seven hours, and more likely ten to twelve hours, have gone by , since your last meal and the body no longer has any food to produce blood sugar. This is why it is so important to have a good breakfast. Skip it and you become sluggish, slow -thinking and inefficient by mid-morning. Studies have shown over and over again that people perform poorly and do less work when breakfast is omitted. Similarly students _ lack concentration and learn more slowly. Of all meals, breakfast is the'. easiest to skip. We are usually' in a rush and too often, the menu is the same old thing day after day. But who said break- fast had to be dull? Try foods that brighten the table and con- tain protein. This will maintain your energy till lunchtime. Here are a few ideas to stimulate bored appetites. Go old English with grilled kid- neys and- sausages, buttered toast and marmalade; French with cheese, flaky croissants and cafe au lait; Norwegian with smoked meat, kipper and cheese. There's also nothing wrong with spanish omelet; chicken livers on toast or with potato pancakes; french -toasted fish to na sa ndwich; scram bled eggs on rye with shredded Independent Shipper 10 United Co-operative of Ontario livestock Dept Toronto Ship Your Livestock with Roy Scotchmer Monday le Shipping Day From Varna Stockyard CALL SAYFIELD 565-2836 Sy 7:30 a.m. Monday For Prompt Service No Charges on Pick-up ti 1 IIPlease put my name on the mailing list for Consumer Contact. 1111 II IName_ Address P.,. 111 1 City _ Prov. –Postai Code , .

Minister cheese and crumbled bacon; fried egg, cheese and luncheon meat sandwich or even cottage cheese and fruit salad. Sound strange? They might just ap- peal to those chronic breakfast skippers. \ It is obviousthat you cannot go gourmet for breakfast every day. Some dishes take too 'long to prepare, so save them for leisurely weekends. On hectic mornings, serve fruit juice with cereal and milk, or a scrambled egg sandwich, or muffins with jam and cheese. Even, buttered toast with peanut butter or cheese spread is nutritious. Being in a hurry is no excuse for missing breakfast. The best time to plan your breakfast is before you get up - like the night before. Prepare your omelet mix, pancakes or waffle batter, meat or vegetables and refrigerate them in covered containers. You can even set the table before you go to bed. With the start , of the New Year, why not make the resolution to spend a little ex- tra effort on the morning meal. See how a super breakfast can bring out the best in you.
