Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1981-11-11, Page 2PAGE 2 —CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11,1 1 The other day I heard a heated argument on the pros and cons of keeping Remem- brance Day. The cons accus- ed the pros of wanting to perpetuate hatreds, killings and all the shame associated with war. (Probably those same people lap up all the horror, hate and murder 'shows on T.V.). Somewhere in the discussion the real meaning of the November 11 observance was lost. At the time of the two world wars and the Korean war there was a very real need to fight in order to preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. The cost was great - and once a year for two minutes many still wish to give thanks. Those who gather at cenotaphs in many lands are not perpetuating war but rather they are acknowledging the precious gift of peace. A gift from those who never lived to en- joy it themselves. +++ As we have done in the past few years we print with pride the names of Clinton men who gave their lives in two wars. 1914-1918 Bert Blacker, S.

Nov. 17 A PLACE FOR KIDS Grow Some Sprouts J If you had a garden all summer long then you'll probably be missing it right about now. The taste of fresh vegetables still lingers in your mouth and you'd like to keep growing food. Well, you can! Bean sprouts can be easily grown indoors all winter long and add freshness to store bought vegetables. They taste like raw peas. Mung beans are the easiest sprouts to grow; all you have to do is go to your nearest health food store and buy some seeds. Before you go to bed, put about three tablespoons of bean seeds in some water and let them soak overnight. When you get up in the morning, drain off the water and dump the seeds into a large jar. Cut up an old pair of nylons and cover the top of the jar with a piece. Hold the nylon mesh in place with a rubber band. Before every meal for the next three days, put some water in the jar, swirl around the seeds, then drain the water out of the jar. You'll be able to see the sprouts grow — when they're about two inches long, eat them — they're delicious. Some people like bean sprouts raw in salads, and some like to cook them for about three minutes. Why don't you try both ways and decide what you like best. It's easy to grow sprouts in a jar. You'll be amazed at how fast they grow.

Fred Dahms used the Huron County village as an example at an agriculture history seminar held recently, at the University of Guelph. Mr. Dahms produced the theory that Ontario country towns are not dying, contrary to conventional wisdom. Mr. Dahms, Guelph geography professor who is a specialist in rural Ontario communities, said that much research has overlooked the changing residential, en- tertainment and tourist functions of these com- munities. Mr. Dahms said while most research continually points to declining numbers of farm equipment dealers and agricultural service industries in rural com- munities, many of these communities have large restaurants, hotels or other entertainment centres that draw customers from hundreds of miles a way. Food habits are changing Over the past decade, the share of food -at-home ex- penditures for an average Canadian family for red meats, dairy products, eggs and processed vegetables has declined. Instead, people are spending more for poultry, fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, beverages and frozen foods. NEED To KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR NEW COMMUNITY?

Rusty led the colony in a sing -song and a game of "Flash -light Eyes" brought the meeting to a close. On Saturday, November 7 the Beavers went to Blyth to enjoy the movie of the Wizard of Oz.
