'71 ACADIAN ENGINE A 250 CUBIC -INCH SIX: Like all 1971
General Motors engines, the new standard Acadian engine will
operate on regular low -lead, no -lead gasoline. The result is a
marked decrease in exhaust emissions. Acadian also features a
brand-new vapour emission control system that prevents fuel vap-
ours in the carburetor and fuel tank from escaping into the atmos-
phere. New high-intensity headlights on '71 Acadian provide 25
per cent more brightness over conventional units. Shown here is
the Acadian two -door coupe with optional 350 V8 engine.

The International Scene
(by Raymonsi Canon)
' 1 doubt that there was anybody
'in Southwestern Ontario who ever
'heard of Spiro Agnew before he
I became the Republican candidate
for vice-president in the last Am-
erican election, Even during the
"election campaign, about all the
publicity he got was when he com
mitted some verbal faux pas,
-which of course offended some-
body.
Since his election as Vice -Pres-
ident, Mr. Agnew has suddenly
become a hot item. He is in
great demand as a speaker, and
although he has managed to be a
bit more diplomatic in his speech
he is just as vociferous as ever,
and does not hesitate to take a
verbal swing at anybody or any
group that he thinks is not pulling
its weight. He is especially ang-
ered by those who deprecate the
United States and what it is doing
without themselves having any
suitable alternative. This is
something that many people find
very easy to do, and so they pro-
vide Mr. Agnew with plenty of
ammunition for his speeches.
For some time now I have been
keeping track of the reaction to
what he has to say both in Canada
and in other countries which are
relatively friendly to the United
States. One thing I have discov-
ered is that very few people sit
on the fence when his name is
mentioned. They either like him
:and what he is saying or they dis-
like hint. Quite a few people may
not agree with what he says but
they grudgingly admire him for
his courage in standing up and
saying what he thinks,
This is where I come in because
I fall in this latter category. It
is rather obvious that Mr. Agnew
in his eagerness to attack those
who nuke it their business to be
pejorative on just about every-
thing the United States does,
sometimes goes too far in his
blasts. But basically I have to
applaud him because he is not
afraid to stand up and be counted.
Frankly I an: getting awfully tired
of reading and listening to drivel
about what is wrong with the Un-
ited States. There are too many
parents and students who seem to
take a sadistic pleasure in critic-
izing teachers and the school
system. The post office comes
in for its share of abuse, and it
Southern Leaf Blight on Corn
If a blight disease is present
on your corn this year, there is
a good chance that it is southern
leaf blight. According to Dr. J.C.
Sutton, Department of Botany,
and Dr. Elwood Hatley, Depart-
ment of Crop Science, both with
the University of Guelph, south-
ern leaf blight is especially com-
mon in the Counties of Middlesex,
Oxford, Waterloo, and Wellington
as well as the areas farther south.
Corn grown for grain should
be harvested early if it has been
infected by southern leaf blight.
Also, use drying facilities if avail-
able, or store as high moisture
corn.
Early Harvesting and careful
drying will minimize the amount
of mold damage on the kernels.
The southern leaf blight fungus
develops iin kernels as a blaskish
mold which may continue to grow
on corn dried to as low as 20 to
5007o moisture.
Southern leaf blight also increa-
ses stalk breakage. With early
harvesting, there will be less stalk
breakage.
Early harvesting is recommend-
ed only where southern leaf blight
is present. If corn is attacked by
other leaf blights such as yellow
leaf blight, or northern leaf
blight, or if there is drought in-
jury to the crop, early harvesting
is not recommenddd.
If you are in doubt about
whether or not the blight on your
corn is southern leaf blight, or
if you wish further information
about this disease, contact the
Soils and Crops Specialist at the
nearest county or district office of
the Ontario Department of Agric-
ulture and Food.

Considering all the criticism
about the school system, it seems
to have turned out a multiple of
so called experts on just about
every subject, experts who do
not hesitate to criticize but seld-
om to commend or construct.
I once met a woman on a train
in Switzerland. She has spent a
few weeks in Russia, and inform-
ed me without any hesitation
that she knew how the Russians
should be handled. I do not know
how many tithes since I have met
close relatives of that woman,
people who can not seem to real -
apparent, people to whom critic-
ism and self-interest is a way of
life. Societies are not built by
such people, but they- do collapse
because of them, and if Spiro
Agnew wants: to take aim at these
glib negationists, all the more
power to him,
