If you read in the papers one of these days ab out some middle-aged guy going berserk and punching a pretty young waitress or bank teller right in the mush for no apparent reason, you'll know it was I, driven finally over the brink by that inanity to end them all, "Have a nice day." If may happen in a restaurant. it will be just after that waitress has served me lukewarm soup, followed by filet of sole. The filet will turn out to be of the hoot variety, rather than the sea variety, and I will just have broken a tooth on it. As I am fumbling fragments of bone out of my face, she will sashay off to serve another customer, hips twitching, and toss over her shoulder at me a gay "Have a nice meal, now." That's when 1 will let her have it. Or it might occur on a Friday afternoon, in the bank. The weather forecast is for blizzards, I have 300 miles to drive tomorrow, my wife is in a snarky mood, I'm on my way to have two teeth extracted, and my arthritis is giving me a fairly lively foretaste of hell. And this young teller, her feet aching, slaps down my withdrawal, summons an exhausted smile from down around her panty hose, and chirrups, "Have a nice weekend, eh?" It's not the grammar or the verbiage object to. It's the utter insincerity of the suggestion. It means just about as much as if the speaker blew his/her nose and spat into the wind. And it's pretty obvious where it came from .It's one of those American imports that should be banned at the border. It has Crept across via the airwaves, issued in treacly tones by signing -off disc jockeys and game show MCs.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 23, 1977 —3 Have a nice day Plague into our airlines, hotels, restaurants, and even our sacred institutions like the banks. I haven't been in bordello lately, but I'd be willing to bet that when a customer totters off shaky and unshaven into t he cold dawn, the madame will cooe after him a dulcet tones, "Have a nice clay, now." have a strong suspicion the damn thing originated in the deep south, along with such heart -felt maxims as "Y'aII come back real soon, y'heah." Which means, roughly, if you want to be ripped off again in our joint, we'll be happy to oblige. 1 refuse to believe all those waitresses, air stewardesses, bank clerks are spouting this garbage from deep in their hearts. Those gals are tuckered out. They don't give a didle whether we drop dead, as long as we do it in front of somebody else's wicket. No, they've been coerced into this phoney farewell by the Simon Lcgrecs they work for, the type who think that if the clerks utter such slop in the Holiday Inn in Texas, they should do the same in the Holiday inn in Toronto. And they're the goys 1 have it in for, not the poor underlings, forced to soil their lips with an artificial, cynical so -long that raises the hackles on the likes of me. At first I responded to this silly utterance with a reluctant and very concise "Thanks. You too." As 1 became more disgusted with the obvious falsity of such as the dentist absentmindedly muttering "Have a good clay" just after he'd drilled two and yanked one, my response subsided to a grunt. Next step will be to look one of the idiots who issue this inanity right in the eye and calmly ask: "Arc you kidding? Who told you to say that? Do you mean it? What do you care what kind of day I have? 1 don't really care what kind you have." This might make a few of the more sensitive ones blush. But most of then) would just drop their jaw and wonder whether old Smiley had got into the sauce, to make him so snarly. It may take stronger measures, and I hope many of my readers who agree with me will join in putting a halt to this pernicious poop. If it happens in a public place, perhaps we should call the manager and say "This young lady/man is interfering in my private life, in my democratic right to have a rotten clay/weekend if I feel like it. Now you, buster, just tell her never to insult another customer with that silly saying, or I'll take my business elsewhere." This is the only language understood by the type of turkey who thinks such garbage as "Have a good day" is good public relations. Hit him where it hurts. In the P.P.panic pocket. Perhaps I am over -reacting. I have been known to do this in connection with Celsuis, metric, politicians of every hue, grrecdy unions, misleading advertisements, town engineers, school administrators, and about 12,000 other things, including the highway robbers known as garage mechanics. Maye it will pass away, along with other such worn -to -the heels expressions as "That'll be the frosty Friday" and "All righty" and the current ubiquitous "Turkey", which seems to cover a multitude of mental and physical abberrations.

Farmers on the roads Urban and city people often discount farmers as country hicks with moss growing out of their ears who are uneducated and unintelligent. Wh ile those of us who live in farming communities know it takes intelligence and a keen business mind to run a successful progressive farm, there is one instance where farmers do more than their fair share to promote the image of the country bumpkin; driving their farm equipment down the centre of the road with disregard for traffic approaching from the rear. At this time of the year with the hectic pace the farmers are keeping to get in the harvest and finish the ploughing before winter there is more farm traffic on the highways and concession roads as farmers travel from one of their properties to another,from one farm to another to do custom work and from their farms to the elevators to unload their crop for shipping. With the change in time from Eastern daylight, Saving to Standard Time, darkness comes earlier and the farmer has less time in the late afternoon before nightfall. M any who would return for the evening meal and evening chores in daylight before the time change are now returning from the field in darkness. Why is it that some farmers do not realize that the time change requires a proper lighting system on their equipment that may not have been necessary for the drive home before the time change? The grain wagons which are so useful for transporting grain, beans and corn because of their funnel shaped bin do not have rear lights which can be hooked up to the tractor's electrical system as most other farm implements do. These grain wagons should be followed by a car or truck with emergency lights flashing to warn traffic approaching from the rear. A slow moving vehicle sign is not adequate. Should a car be approaching the tractor from the front, the glare from its headlights will wipe out the familiar red glow from the sign and the back of the grain wagon is not visible until the headlights from the vehicle corning up behind distinguish it in the dark. Once the headlights shine on the rear of the grain wagon the glow of the slow moving sign is also apparent but by then it may be too late. Farm equipment moves so very slowly in comparison to the other traffic on the roads and highways and even if the motorist is within ,the speed limit, it is almost impossible to stop if a grain wagon is not visible until his headlights shine on the rear of the wagon. Farmers are for the most part living down the image allotted to them by their city cousins because farming today is a progressive industry as vital to our country and its economy as city corporations, big business and other industry. But, driving down the highway behind a farmer who won't get off to the side for a mile long line of traffic behind him because he isn't even considerate enough to look behind, or coming up behind a farmer who has no lights on the rear of his grain wagon and no truck or car following, does a lot to reaffirm the "farmer" image with its seedy connotations. (The Lucknow Sentinel) By Keith Roulston The Maitland Why I didn't become a farmer I grew up on farm. I live in a house in the middle of farming country. I've been pleading the farmers' case in print for nearly a decade. So it's natural, I suppose that people sometimes ask me why I didn't become a farmer. There are several reasons I guess. The first was a little thing called money, or lack thereof. Even when I was growing up, in those short days ago when you could pick up a good farm for $20,000, it seemed like an impossible task to get into the business. Today it's not impossible, it's ridiculous. There was also the fact that farming seemed such a hazardous, uncontrolled way to make a Iiving.As a youngster I suppose 1 watched a few too many crops rot in the fields in a wet fall, saw a few too many calves or pigs die from some mysterious disease, taking with them the profit for the whole herd or litter. But the biggest thing against farming for me was that I just didn't have the killer instinct. I was a real softy when it came to the farm animals. It came to mind the other day when it came time to give some of my roosters the axe. We bought some cute little cuddly day-old chicks last spring, a mixed lot with both male and female. The plan was to keep the pullets for eggs and grow the roosters for meat. I was determined I was going to harden myself to the realities of life. I purposely got enough chicks so there would be no temptations to get too close to individuals, A friend of mine had a few chickens and named every one of them. I couldn't see myself lopping off the head of any rooster 1 knew by name. So my flock stayed large enough to be impersonal. As the roosters grew and became obstreperous, sometimes trying to take a hunk out of a finger when the feed bucket was delivered to the chicken house, it seemed that it wouldn't be hard to work up the right spirit come time to transform the fowl devils into table fare. But, when the time finally came, niy old emotional approach came back. Logically I knew that the birds had to go. The From Me to You Keeping in touch with Blyth price of chicken feed ain't chicken feed any nx re so you can't afford to keep fat roosters around. The thought of the tasty, tender meat, unlike that pastey, rubbery chicken you get at the supermarket these days, was also inviting. Yet it was hard to look those roosters in their beady little cycs and tell them they had to go. I felt like a hard hearted Inco boss. I did the dirty decd, not enjoying a single second of it, even when it cane time to put the blade to the cantakerous big bruiser who had strutted the length of the henhouse with such violent authority that none of the other members of the family would go in to gather the eggs. I had threatened that bird for so long, telling him how I was going to enjoy his violent end, but in the end 1 turned to mush when I had to actually carry out my threat. I'm a hyprocrite, I know. With my feelings l should spend the rest of my life eating carrots sticks and soya burgers with a little crunchy granola thrown in for a thrill. I'm no vegetarian. 1 like steak and spareribs and fried chicken and roast duck and all those other delicious meals that some little animal had to give his life for. To make it even worse, I enjoy raising animals that will some day grace my table because of the feeling of independence and the feeling that I don't have to force fast growth like commercial farmers and the food will likely have a better flavour. But like the general who sends his troops off to fight while he sits safety behind the lines, I'd like somebody else to do my dirty work, to actually turn those living, breathing animals into human food. Well, that explains why 1 couldn't be a farmer. 1 just haven't got the emotional. makeup. Or have 1? 1 got a chuckle recently when a friend who is a farmer who every year sends a couple of thousand animist( market, said he'd be interested in buying a couple of the roosters .. but only if they were dead. He couldn't bear to kill them himself, he said. Maybe I'm not the only bleeding heart on the farm. The village of Blyth is incredibly lively for its size and it had kept me onthego for the past week without any thought for home and relaxation. We at the Standard are always asking to be put in touch with your news and you have been really on the ball. We started the week with the Blyth board of Trade which had a rousing group out. The next night there was the UCW beef dinner which was a delicious credit to all the people involved. The Horticultural Society put on their potluck supper and over 100 'people turned out with every dish delicious. Then to top off a long week the UCW sponsored a bake sale which I am surprised to report was very short. Not because of lack of interest but because so many customers showed u1 and bought everything in sight. It may ha:e been short but was entirely successful. In Blyth if you want to enjoy a bake sale you have to be there when it opens because the baked goodies go within the half hour. Sunday there was hockey with lots of lively action to be enjoyed. After a hopping week you may point out that we wanted your news and got it in full force. We are delighted but there is only one arca open for more involvement with your paper, and thats "Blyth People" news. For a couple of weeks you surprised everyone and we had a few phone calls and there were Blyth personals in the Blyth Standard, But then like all good things everything petered out. We have a sign in the office which (Continued on Page 19) TOYS OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS — Mrs. Marie Webster makes all kinds of wooden toys as well as animals purses made out of borg for children. (Photo by Ranney) Feature: folks Mrs. Webster makes toys By Debbie Ranney It's not that common a sight to sec a woman with a saw in her hand, but if you looked in on Mrs. Marie Webster of R.R.3, Auburn at work on her hobby that's probably what you will find. Mrs. Webster makes wooden toys. These toys include rocking horses, play toys and book shelves for children, hobby horses trucks and trains and little wheelbarrows shaped like ducks. Mrs. Webster got her start making wooden things when she wanted to make a big cupboard for her daughter Jodi's bedroom. She thought it would be cheaper to make a cupboard than to buy one, so she enrolled in a night school course in woodworking at the high school in Clinton. She liked the course so much that she bought herself a saw. A paters for a child's rocking horse led her to start making wooden toys. She gets her patterns for the toys front library books which she duplicates. Mrs. Webster says she usually picks something unusual to make, something you can't get from the store. About 75 toys have been made under Mrs. Webster's hands as well as children's purses made of borg which are niade into different animal shapes. When she wants to relax she says she sometimes makes teddy bears and puppets. Mrs. Webster has appeared at two craft shows with her work, The Saltford Christmas Fair and a craft show in Grand Bend. She said that her borg purses had gone over quite well. The most popular antes at the craft show were a sewing dog with thread and scissiors, and the hobby horses. When making a toy, Mrs. Webster first traces the pattern on to paper and then on to the wood and sands and assembles it, After more sanding the item is painted and that finishes the job. Mrs. Webster relies on a band saw to do most of her work and also has a power sander. Having completed a pattern she will usually make up about three of the same items and if she really likes what she had made or thinks it's going to be a big success she will make another three of the same item afterward. She uses mostly pine wood because it is softer and easier to work with. She has used oak but says it's very expensive. Mrs. Webster, a former school teacher likes what she's doing. "You can take your own time. It's a break from housework," she said. "It's nice to see what you have when you've finished it. I'm constantly looking through books for patterns and new ideas," she said. Mrs. Webster is back at school and is taking an advanced course in woodworking which allows her to carry on from where she left off lastyear. The added training will allow her to make better use of the tools and equipment she has aquired. Mrs. Webster is trying to make more durable toys. "My aim is to make toys that are going to last," she said and judging by the work she's done so far, she's likely to suceed in that aim.

O12—THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 23, 1977` F'F' gets mo i e From the minister's study Trees don't grunt So many people try so hard to be Christians and fail so miserably at it. Some want to be righteous and end up being selfrighteous instead. It was while walking through an orchard one day that it dawned on one what the real problem was. l discovered that trees don't grunt, or sweat, or strain themselves in order to produce fruit. I realized that the sap flowing up the trunk and out the branches produced the fruit. Jesus says: "Abide in Me as the branwh abides in the vine." It is His love and goodness, and power, flowing out through us, His branches, that produces the fruit of righteousness. Ile sans: "You just take care of our relationship: keep it strong and healthy, and I will give you the love you need for your neighbour. Before 1 realized this truth, it seemed that the harder I tried, the more frustrated and ineffec- tive I became. You sec, God doesn't love us hcrause we deserve His love. We can Ile\ er earn or merit 1lis Loc e, Like is,'. neither can we he the pc9•sutl we are meant to he without Him. No douht you have noticed that a dead branch snaps off a tree \cry easily while a live healthy ht:utch takes some pretty hard work to remove, In other \cords, the vitality and fruitfulness of the branch depends on relationship with the trunk. /11141A LI -- What a happy discovery this was. When we let God's Spirit 11ov freely through us, the fruit will appear, And what is the fruit of the Spirit? Galatians Chapter 5: "Thr fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithful- ness, self-control. All the things I had been striving for began to appear as fruits of my growing relationship .,with Jesus. To put it another way; a garden hoe is only full when the water is flowing through it.
