HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1987-10-14, Page 42Sweaty hands could be hereditary
or from being tense, Colleen says
Dear Advisor,
I have a big problem. Every time I try to
write something, my hands sweat. When
I'm using a pencil to write, it smears and
when I try to rub out the smeared marks the
paper rips because it's so wet. What should
I do?
From, Deborah
P.S. That's why I:m writing in pen.
Dear Deborah,
I talked with a doctor friend and he said
that sometimes it runs in families — a family
gene, or may be caused by being tensed up
and worried about something. Maybe you
get uptight when you write. Try to relax
when you write. Find out what's bothering
you.
Dear Advisor,
My problem is that one of my best friends
moved away and I never see her. Her name
is Railagh Canipble. She now lives in
Oakville.
Your friend, L.R.
Dear L.R.,
If you have her address you could write
her and give her your address. Tell her to
write back and you could be pen pals. You
could giver her all the news.
P.S. You can make other friends even
though it won't be the same.

Dear Advisor,
I have a problem. You see my dog doesn't
like sleepign with me and my Mom doesn't
like my dog sleeping with her. So when
mom moves into my bed the dog won't sleep
at the end of the bed. She sleeps up at the
top of the bed on my pillow and on my head.
What should I do?
From, A.S.

Links established between .Ontario
and West Indian farm families
Irl an effort to commemorate World Food
Day on October 16, a line of communication
has been established between two small -
.scale farmers, one in Ontario and the other
in the West Indies.
The Schooley family has an apple farm
near Simcoe, Ontario and the Lorenzo fami-
ly farms near the village of LaVajia, 120
kilometres from Santo Domingo . in the
Dominican Republic..
The two families share a common bond:
they both farm their own land. But, they've
been learning a tot about their different far-
ming techniques and lifestyles through their
children's correspondence.
Francia Lorenzo, 10, has written the On-
tario World Food Day Co-Ordinating Com-
mittee to give Canadians a sample of a day
in her life in the Dominican Republic.
Melissa Schooley, 1.1, also described what'
it's like to spend a day at her family farm in
Simcoe, Ontario.
•. This is just one project started by the On-
tario World Food Day Co-Ordinating Com-
mittee to bring about dialogue between
small-scale farmers and to focus attention
on the plight of global food production.
World Food Day commemorates the foun-
ding of the United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization ( F.A.O.) in
Quebec City in 1945. The purpose of the day
is to foster awareness of global food and
hunger issues.
World Food Day activities in Ontario are
organized under the auspices of the Ontario
Co-Ordinating Committee, the provincial
section of the WFD Association of Canada:
The Ontario Coordinating Committee was
established three years ago and includes
representatives from: The Ontario Ministry

One. of the major responsibilities of the
Ontario Co-ordinating. Committee is the
development, production and distribution of
educational resource materials focusing on
a yearly theme. The 1987 theme is "Small -
Seale Food Producers" and over 1,500
educational kits geared to the elementary
and secondary level have been produced.
These kits have been so well received by
educators that demand has far exceeded
supply.
Other activities include the proclamation
of World Food Day by municipalities across
Ontario and the organization of events in
many communities around the province.
Ontarians are being, encouraged to
become more aware of global food issues
and to take a more active role in the search
for solutions, as well as to make contribu-
tions of money or volunteer effort to any of
the agencies involved in food -related
activities.
How long can the most fertile land in On-
tario be gobbled up by development before
we feel the repercussions?
How long will it be before—we have to'
watch another episode of starvation in
Ethiopia on television?
Only political will and public awareness
can help solve the problems of hunger and
food production.

Painting sale is a big deal
from page 1
words or anything like that.
Anyway I left disappointed and walked
over and had a bowl of soup at Knowles
Restaurant where they were serving
Elderberry pie to Sunday -go -to -church
people. Then I walked up the main street
and across from the "Hardy Boys Pizza,
Lasagna and Spaghetti House" where
help is needed and you can apply within,
there's a shop called The Picture Place.
In their window is a genuine oil painting
entitled "Cherrydale Farm" with two
strapping Clydesdales hitched to a big
red wagon charging through a snow drift
with the farmhouse and barn set back
among snow -clad trees. And it's a real
place west of Dunnville but it cost $370
and besides the store was closed.
The town was quiet and deserted and I
thought if the burglar alarm went off at
the Canadian Tire Store it would be cause
enough for a festival.
I went back over to Elroy's Market and
it was open. Out front sat big Elroy, grin-
ning and severely testing the strength of
a wooden fold -up chair. Elroy's sell fresh
fruit and vegetables and axe handles. In
no immediate need of an axe handle I
bought some fruit and a few tomatoes.
On the way out I said to Elroy: "Guess
there's not a lot happening in Dunnville
today?" He laughed loudly and said:
"Never is."
And we both looked out at the town for
awhile and I wanted to tell him about the
woeful absence of local art and how art
should imitate life but Dunnville's art im-
itates the Place Pigalle but then Elroy
took a long sip from his coffee cup and
said: "Never is". And that ended it right
there.
