The discussion naturally centres about the need for a selling price that will improve the net position of the producer and the extent to which On- tario should or should not contribute so that the return equals that being re- ceived in another province—Quebec. But what the discussion doesn't do is indicate the fact that the dairy industry is one of Ontario's largest. Somebody has taken the trouble to relate dairy production in these terms: —There is enough cottage cheese produced in Ontario every year to build a snowman as high as a twenty- five -story apartment building. —There is enough butter produced in one year in Ontario to pave High- way 401 one and a. half feet deep from Toronto to London, Ontario, a distance of, one hundred and eight miles. —At our present rate of consump- tion, Ontario produces enough cheese in one day to feed the whole Canadian army for eight months. - —There is enough fluid milk pro- duced in Ontario in a year to stand a line of quart bottles one and one-third times around the world at the equator. —There is enough milk produced in a day in Ontario to fill nine million four hundred and forty-five thousand and six hundred drinking glasses. In —The amount of ice cream produced in Ontario in a year would make a brick the area of a footbal field And as high as a twenty -one-story apartment building. Surely,`an industry which contributes to such a degree to the• economy of the province merits the concerted atten- tion of government to the end that the problems besetting it are solved. Neither recriminations between var- ious levels of government on the one hand nor. farmers' strikes and tractor parades on the other, is the answer. The Lighter Side Cars sold to parents of teenage dri- vers should have a secret accessory'by which the parent could raise the floor- board under the accelerator.—Sudbury Star. A research scientist at Columbia Un- iversity predicts cars of the future that will refuse to start for drunk dri- vers. What about cars that won't start for sober drivers? 1= -Toronto Telegram. A biologist says that the intelligence quotient of the owl is zero. However, the wily bird continues to get by very nicely merely by looking wise.—Strat- ford Beacon -Herald. the Years Agone From The Huron Expositor Sept. 19, 1941 A swarm of bees which dur- ing the summer took refuge in the office on the fair' grounds delayed the opening on Thurs- day morning for more than an hour, while directors wrestled with the problem of removing the swarm. Mrs. J., A. Kerr, sec- retary of the fair set up a tem- porary office in a nearby car and commenced taking entries. Aboult 150 friends and neigh- bors gathered at the Kinburn Hall to honor Mr. and Mrs. Wes- ley Agar•and family.

Seaforth has been very for- tunate in the way of losses by -fires for some ome years, but during the past three week's there have been no fewer than four. fires. The worst feature of the matter is that the fires were un- doubtedly the work of an incen- diary. " The volunteers arrived home from 'camp and marched up. Main St.,_ headed by the 33rd Battalion Band. The editor of the Expositor has to thank Mr. Robert Jamie- son, the genial proprietor of the Golden Lion • Store for a genuine black thorn cane, dir- ect from Ireland . Messrs.

There's nothing left from it but a pile of monthly payments at the bank. But I thought the least I could do was to pass along a few trav- el notes to those planning a trip' or wishing they'd taken one. First of all, don't wish, just do it. If you wait until you can afford a trip you'll be too old to enjoy it. There's nothing more pitiful thanthose tottering old wrecks you'll see on any cruise, who have put off "The Trip" until . the children are ,grown, the mortgage is paid arid Dad has retired. It's easy, almost frighteningly easy, to take a trip Without money. Railroads, air -lines and shipping companies are only too happy to take you to Timbuktu on the never-never plan. Just forget about that new dishwasher or wallpaper and sign on the dottod line. Your friendly travel -agent will loan you a pen. By the way, it's a good idea to plan your trip' through a travel, agent. There's no.. charge as he's paid by the air -rail -hotel people. Also, it's reassuring when you arrive in a strange city at midnight, to be able to wave that reservation in the , desk clerk's face, even though it's for the wrong date. How to get .there? If it's a long haul, and your time is lim- ited, and your legs are short, • flying is your best bet. It's dull, cramped, the baggage handling is little short Of vandalism, and -- By Bill Smiley — there's always a long ride into town from the airport, for which you pay. But, you're there an a hurry. Trains are lurchy and rather slow, but you can. relax. There's nothing -like a stroll through a train to add some color to your trip. Black and blue. Prices are. fairly reasonable now, with fam- ily rates which include meals. The latter, while adequate, are a far cry from the old railway dining cars, where food and servioe were superb. Their chief aim now is to feed you and get you out of there. Probably the best way to trav- el is by car, with tent or trailer. It's certainly much cheaper, and you don't have to follow a time- table. The drawback is that un- less you like driving, it's . just that — driving. Mile upon mile, hour upon hour, day after day. No holiday there for me. For the person travelling alone, on a budget, the bus is the best. It's drafty or hot or cold or dusty. And the lady in the adjacent seat is the biggest bore in North America and she's going tb be with you right across the continent. But you can go a long way on a 100 bucks. About clothes. Pack carefully, everything you think you're going to need, and then leave exactly half your luggage., at home, and you'll be just right. About food. The price of good meals, anywhere, will make a strong man weep great salt tears. Only solution is to take along a large plastic bag filled with bologna sandwiches, dill pb mre in and see our selection of Ironstone China available in sets and open stock Irvin's Hardware Phone 527-1160 -- Seaforth FRIG►DAIREZ-speed Washer gives delicates extra care! pickles, cheese and other goo- dies, About the third day on the trip, it looks, smells andr° tastes like pemmican, but you'll have lots of privacy, and you ' won't have to tip any waiters. About tips. The dime is a quaint coin that became obso- lete during the '40's and is now used only in vending machines. The quarter is rapidly "going the same way. But have one pocket stuffed with them and the other with dollar bills, and you'll see nothing but smiling faces -and friendly outstretched hands all along your route. About service. The county is going to pot. Remember all. those snarling assistant manag- ers, supercilious desk clerks and larcenous bell -hops during the post-war.period? They've all dis- appeared. To the place to which I frequently, consigned them, I hope. This summer I was rather severely shocked to meet a friendly assistant ' manager, a bell -hop with a sense of humor, and no less than three courteous cab drivers. My wife nearly faint- ed when one of them jumped out and opened the door for her. Needless to say, this was in The West. There's • only one thing wrong with travelling. It costs you the shirt right off your back. Best way around' this is to steal a credit card belonging to Joe P. McGlutch and sign for every- thing. If this is- not feasible, the only alternative is to sell your wife and children into slavery. Either way, it's worth it. Now, have a happy, happy trip.
