After that meet- ing yesterday I thought you would stay in bed today and rest." He stopped. "That meet- ing, what about it?" "It must have been terri- ble!" she went on. "You were beaten down so when you came in." "Oh," he said, starting to hoe again, "that 'was yes- terday." How few have that for an insight on living life! This is the most common mistake 1 know, and most of us are guilty of doing it . day after day. Taking all of yesterday's disagreeable happenings, and the acid they pour into our living, and -then we doggedly carry them into each new day. It almost seems that some people have never heard of the possibility that some things can be left in their yesterday. With some people, it is almost as if it were a relig- ious requirement that they remember every word of osACAL UILXVtalbrim 145MIC Combine the talents of a farmer; an engineer;' add about 130 sowsand their off- spring, throw in a govern- ment grant and you can get an unusually productive sit- uation. And that's what's happen- ing at Gary Folkema's bog breeding farm near the southwestern Ontario town of Ingersoll. Gary and his friend Dark Matt, an engin- eer from London, have set up a way of converting pig man- ure into electricity! , Not only that, they convert the manure's unused protein into a nutritious feed supple- ment which Gary says saved him about $9,000 in feed costs last year. The week...ye e . visited the Folkema farm, by the way, was a week of contrasts. We had done a story about a Burlington couple who grow orchids, watched a potter in Hillsdale making a place set- ting for Rideau Hall, then suddenly there we were trudging around a pig farm! My wife Jenny, who tra- vels with us as production assistant, loved the orchid' and place setting stories but would have no part of the pigs. She's a . farmer's daughter and is always very helpful when we do things about farming. But she•drew the line on going in among the pigs. She said she'd been there before. Her fears were unfounded. The machinery that puts the converting process into ac- tion was in the large clean, lower floor of a barn. There was a vat of liquid waste, but no odor. Pipes carry the manure into a big silo -like "Diges- ter". It extracts the methane gas from the manure and transfers it to a huge balloon where the gas is stored. When required, the gas is re- leased to a generator. There's enough electricity produced to provide power for the whole farm with some an argument, every bitter, nasty word said,. every sick moment of a bad situation, and then wonder why their outlook is so sour day after day. R.L. Smith used the phrase: "We regale our minds with the resurrec- tion of all things disagreea- ble." By doing this we have an almost unpayable mort- gage on the day before it starts. Add to that the nor- mal load of a normal -day's frustration and worry, and no small wonder it be- comes too much. Psychologist M. Morri- son said it is almost like a record which people play over and over. If any hour. holds the possibility of being the least bit touched with happiness, most often out of a wish for self -pun- ishment, theP replay the mental record of. yester- day's sins and the blight sets in. His job, he said, is to smash that record. Jot this phrase down, and put it where you can see it often: "That was yes- terday." Let each brand- new day be just that. Car- rying around yesterday's load and today's will make anyone weary, and then ir- ritable, and finally sick. Life has enough rough spots for everyone of us that we need to remind ourselves at the start of a new day, that it is a new day. What happened yes- terday was yesterday. From The Living Bible Then Saul confessed, "I have done wrong. Come back home, my son, and Pll no longer try to harm you ; for you saved my life today. I have been a fool, and very, very wrong." "Here is your spear, sir," David re- plied. "Let one of your young men come over and get it. The Lord gives his own reward for doing good and for be- ing loyal, and I refused to kill you even when the Lord placed you in my power. Now may the Lord save my life, •even as I have saved yours today. May he rescue me from all my troubles." 1 Samuel 26:21-24 Fvangelicel Fellowship of Canada left over. The excess is sold . to Ontario Hydro. Along the line, another machine takes the unused protein out of the waste and converts it to a .special feed supplement which the hun-.. ry porker ftndvery tasty ; It's quite an idea. Gary and Derk have turned every- thing but the squeal into pro- fit. The litters are healthier, and the farm gets free elec- tricity. But inway, Jenny was right. I tdnred the rest of the barn while the pigs were be- ing fed. The boots I was wearing have been out on our back porch for the past two days. jl! ° rullutt rim= ,, RR *2 Kitchener ON SUNDAY, MAY 27 AT 2:00 P.M.
