FOOD and CO
(by Maureen Huber)
There is a common sense
solution to the problems we
were speaking of the other week.
Some folks might call it horse -
sense; at least they have enough
sense to keep their horse out of
these troubles. As any equestrian
in the area could tell you, or as
one told me anyhow, a horse
needs several items of care, such
as: 1. a balanced diet, including
oats, hay orrass, salt and
mineral supplementation.
2. proper exercise - every day
out of doors, even in winter.
with quiet walking afterward to
cool him off being imperative
if the workout has been strenu-
ous. 3. fresh air and sunshine,
which are just the natural
accompaniment to # 2 above.
4. proper grooming and hygiene
such as annual treatment for
parasite.
Put it all together, add a reason
ably good horse, and you have
a thing of superb beauty and
vigor. Subtract the same items
of care, but keep the horse, and
right shortly you will have a
perfect example of the old grey
mare "who ain't what she used
to be".
A few years back, my husband
was working with top class dairy
cows. In fact, the 1966 reserve
grand champion of the CNE was
under his care. And I can recall
being in the feed room occasion-
ally when the grain for the herd
was mixed. Just all what went
into the hopper I don't recall,
but I know there were about
three kinds of grain, plus oil
cake, beet pulp, bone meal,
mineral supplements, and salt,
all in just -so proportions, of
course. On top of this 'here
was a daily grooming and exer-

cise, postural training, etc,
And I never heard of a cow
having a heart attack in all the
time we lived there,
Now we'll smile of the other
sides of our faces while I tell
you about a herd of holsteins
kept at a research station in the
U. S. There 28 perfectly
healthy animals were switched
to a diet of "semi -refined"
grains -still a lot closer to nature
than our white flour, etc- and
by the end of three years, half
of those perfectly healthy
animals were dead -of heart
failure, And post mortem ex-
aminations on the remainder at
this time revealed that all had
the same problem to some extent
Any further comment from me
at this point would only detract
from the impact of facts. We
do feed our animals better than
we feed ourselves. Any they
give us superior performance
as a result.

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
Glenn looks quite grown up for three -and -a -half, but
actually this little boy is rather. immature for his age.
He is a handsome lad, as you see, with lovely grey -
brown eyes, softly curling light brown hair and skin that
takes a beautiful tan. Glenn is usually active, outgoing,
exuberant and mischevious, but in contrast can be quiet
and uneasy, especially with strangers or when over-
tired. He likes to play with his tricycle and wagon and,
like most boys, is fond of cars. He loves small animals
like kittens. Glenn bas his favorite TV programs —
cartoons and l Love Lucy — and he enjoys listening to
records. His background is Anglo-Saxon and Italian with
one Negro grandparent. He needs parents who will be
understanding if he takes time to settle in his new home
and who will provide love, direction and stimulation. To
inquire about adopting Glenn please write to Today's
Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Par-
liament Buildings, Toronto 182.
