I'm Sorry George - It Just Would'nt Work, We Belong To Two Different Worlds!
4-H well worthwhile
The annual meting of the Huron. County
4-H Club Leaders Association held recently
in Clinton brought focus on a group of
people in our society who contribute much
more than their share to the society in which
they live.
Leaders of 4-H clubs across the country
play a very important part in expanding the
knowledge, confidence and social values of
our young people. Involvement in a large
spectre of activities is made available
to teenage boys and girls in a society where
this is becoming more and more difficult.
To many urban residents, 4-H clubs
conjure the impression of youngsters
grooming calves but it is a much wider
range which is offered to young people.
A quick look at a list of activities show 4-H
people involve themselves in such diverse
pursuits as beef cattle, dairy cattle, field
crops, sheep, swine, horses, rabbits, snow-
mobiles, tractors, plowing, communications,
parlimentary proceedure, teaching aids
and more.
No doubt 4-H leaders get a great deal of
satisfaction from their efforts and 4-H
members gain a very good grounding in
many, skills that will prove useful later in
their lives. To both groups we offer our
congratulations and encouragement.
Who's listening
A new "weapon" is emerging to rule the
world...it's food, agriculture, or "agri-
power".
That was the message containe3 in a
special CBC documentary this week and the
prediction is that food rivals "petro -power"
and gives some indication to the rise of the
political importance of food.
U.S. secretary of agriculture Earl Butz,
w1lo has become the world's leading "food
broker" says that within a quarter of a
century, potential food shortages could

serve as the catalyst for man's final act of
self-destruction.
His ominous words warn that our attitud-
es today and the priorities .the world places
on food production may well decide the
question of human survival.
They are rather frightening remarks,
particularly at a time when we still see
many acres of prime agricultural land being
taken out of production and covered over
with factories and concrete.
Will we get the message too late that
we can no longer afford this suicidal act?

Even the mention of weather
is somewhat depressing to most
of us. For those who are conf-
ined indoors, it is even moreso,
since visitors hesitate to venture
out too far to make their regular
visits, and walking conditions
are dangerous for those up in
years who like to get out for a
breath of air.
We welcome Mrs. Adeline
Kraft, formerly of Dashwood, as
a newcomer,
Films were changed to Tues-
