Pill Anyone?
NIP 61110,
Tea is the latest on the list of no no's for every-
one, Tanin in the tea is said not to be the source
of refreshment it was until two weeks ago. Now,
much of it is said to pull you down instead of pick
you up.
So, if you are thinking of dying while you are as
young as you are, all you have to do is drink tea,
alcohol, too, much coffee, smoke cigarettes, eat
or drink anything with cyclamate in it, etc., etc.,
Water, without which we would wither up and
die, seems to be the only beverage that is not tain-
ted so far. Even that is getting scarce and there may
come a time when the only water you will be able
to drink will be filtered, have six or seven addit-
ives and no longer tastes like water.
We are dying each day we live so how can we
say which portion of our lives we are losing to any
specific food or drink.
Analyzing food to the point of scaring people to
death is the same as the young lad with hisfirst
microscope looking at a drop of water finding
so many living critters in it and that it scares him
enough to stop drinking water for several days.
Though we do have to know the ingredients in any-
thing we eat or drink for health reasons, it is get-
ting to the point where nothing in the way of food
will be the original natural yield of the earth, but
will be a synthetic imitation made from the most
hygenic ingredients that can be found.
Thus we seem to be heading the way scientists
predicted some years ago, to the day when a pill
will contain the full nourishment of a complete
meal of steak and vegetables and perhaps even the
dessert.
What a dissappointment that would be, all the
enjoyment of food will be gone. When a young
man wants to take his young lady out for dinner
he will take her to a restaurant and they will sit
down to a plate with a pill on it. This will tax the
restauranteur's ingenuity. They will have to supply
enough diversion to keep the young folk inter steel
so that they will come back again. No
the food but because they enjoy being there together.
What a picture. (New Hamburg Independent).
How To Start Your Car
We discovered recently that there is some dif-
ference of opinion among experienced drivers about
how best to start their cars.
We also discovered from talking to several garage
service managers that many people don't start their
cars properly and many fail to read or pay attention
to their instruction booklets.
In the interest of better motoring, we hasten to
point out that we weren't starting our car the right
way, so maybe you aren't either.
Cars have changed. We were brought up to pump
a balky cold engine, but for at least one major brand
among the big three, there is a better way. The
right way.
Looking at our well preserved instruction book we
read: To start cold engine depress accelerator pedal
to the floor and then release. This presets automatic
choke.
For a hot engine or in extreme cold (below zero)
depress accelerator part way down and hold while
starting engine.
Now maybe yours doesn't read this way, but if you
haven't read your manual lately (and who has?)
then why ,not have the pleasure of knowing you're
doing it the right way. It may pay off some cold
morning! ( Stratford Beacon Herald)

Yes, madam,
Do you know what the up-
coming generation of Canadian
men is going to marry? Rotten
wives. And do you know why?
Because the mothers of these
potential wives have spoiled
them rotten.
They have over -protected
them, tried unsuccessfully to
impose their own dubious taste
on them, and refused to allow
their daughters to learn any-
thing practical, like sewing or
cooking.
This is not a blanket con.
demnation, but it certainly ap-
plies to many people I know.
Nor must I blame it all on
mothers. Many fathers aid and
abet.
I speak from experience.
These middle-aged spoilers are
driven by several motives.
Most of them were growing up
when things were tough all
over, and they are ruthlessly
determined that their kids are
going to have all the "advan-
tages" they couldn't have.
Thus we have a plethora of
lessons in music, ballet, fig-
ure -skating. We have the very
latest fashions and fads, re-
gardless of cost. We have cars
for kids who would be danger-
ous on a tricycle.
Another motive is fear. By
shielding their children from
any and all unpleasantness, in-
cluding work, they hope to
keep them "straight" and out
of the cluches of drugs, sex
and hippiedom. More often
they drive them into trying
something out of sheer bore-
dom with their diet of pab-
lum.
Another
coon -like
love. You

reason for the co -
over -protection is
don't like to see
someone you love in trouble,
whether it's emotional, finan-
cial or legal.
And a final motive is plain
laziness. Mothers say, "I'd rath-
er do it myself than have to
nag at her (or him)." So do
fathers. Thus many of the
things which middle-aged peo-
ple consider virtues: punctuali-
ty, diligence, courtesy, cleanli-
ness go by the board.
But when you have to tell an
18 -year-old girl to wash her
feet, there's something wrong,
My neighbor, whose son is at
college, was wakened early Sat-
urday morning by a long-dis-
tance (collect, naturally) call
from said son. His car had
collapsed and he wanted to
buy another one
Choking back his natural
fury, father said he would
think it over. Result? He and
his wife drove about 300
miles to see the kid and get
something settled.
Example two. Our daughter
times change
is at college. My wife writes
about three times a week, and
her letters consist mostly of
"Do this" and "Don't do that."
The kid needed winter boots
and a winter coat. This of
course is very unusual in Can-
ada, and demands urgent ac-
tion. And, of course, at 18,
she's much too young to buy
them for herself. And of
course she might be lonely in
that big city, with no friends.
So we drive through 450
miles of that fog and rain.
Counting hotel bill, tips, gas,
and a couple of dinners out,
those boots and that coat cost
about four times what they
should have.

Letter to Editor
And then the brat says she
isn't lonely at all. That's the
only reason I went, and I told
her so.
However and despite, we had
a pleasant weekend. Dining
out, we sat beside a young
couple. He was a Czech, not
long out, very smooth, very
handsome. She was a New-
fordlander, very friendly,
very open.
Then a Sikh (Indian, turban
and beard) came in and sat
nearby, looking desperately
lonely. I asked him over. The
chef, a young Czech who was a
friend of the other one, joined
us and said he'd like to take
my daughter out. Kim spilled
something on her mother's
best blouse.
We adjourned to our hotel
room for a couple of pleasant
hours. The Newfy girl asked
Kim if she'd like to share an
apartment. I wouldn't be sur-
prised if a Czech did, too. My
wife worried about the smooth
Czechs. The Sikh lost his mel -
