Farm Agreement Is Problem
One of the problems
which face governments at
all levels when they move
to legislate with respect.
to agricultural matters
is that rarely do any two
farmers agree as to what
should be done.
Most farmers are in-
dilvi'dual i sts and p-refer
to make their own decis-
ions. What appears to be
the perfect solution to
one farmer is nonsense to
his neighbour. While all
are agreed that the farm-
ing industry faces prob-
lem's, the major problem
is deciding on the .path
along which a solution
lies. .
"It' s a difference of
opinion that makes an
.interesting' horse race,' -
The Eieter TiMes Advocate
points out in commenting
on the-problem and adds, ,
"but when the topic is
cattle, that difference
of opinion creates some
confusion." , -

fati on. of Agriculture

abreast of a dozen totally Afferent situa-
tions all at the same time,.
An editor friend of mine was tolling
me that he has put a lady on the editorial
staff at his office and discovered for the
first time in his career just how effic-
- lent hiS office can run. I told him it
was hardly any mystery that a female
editor can organize the workload so easily.
MOst women, I told him, can make cream
sauce with one hand, fasten junior's bow
tie with the other one and polish the side
of the stove with her 'foot!
Orgahizational ability isn't sorfrething
you can learn, I told him. You are born
with it and the reason women haVe so
much more of it than men is becauge
their role has always been to be at man's
side as a 'helpmate . . . someone to
locate his socks, keep track of his club
minute book, remember telephone
numbers, hold onto the car keys and look
after his financial future.
It is also significant, I feel,,that though,
a man is the head of the household, even
according to the Holy Bible, lie hisn't
a chance if he happens tor draw a wife
who is a little shy on brainpoWer. For
instance, a man may bark the orders arid
crack the whip, but unless he has a good
wife to actually carry out his plans for
him, he is.usually so far behind the eight-
ball in a month or so that there's small
opportunity for escape.
. Well, hear What Dr. Jensen says about
that. He reports that recent work on,
theory that environment plays' only a
small part in shaping intelligence. Jensen- .
and other doctors - conclude that 410 per-
Cent of the Variance in intelligencia.‘amorig
the general population can be traced to
genetic factors . . . which tencIS to
prove to me that beygi have the same
opportunity as gals to be born smart.

In Hilt day of mechanized transpor-

just to prove they are not necessarily
'entirely a thing of the past', a team of
horses owned by E. B. Goudie, Seaforth,

harness broke and , the tongue of the
wagon dropped. As the runaway team
approached Main Street,it was in collision'
with a-car owned by Amos Corby and parked

Towards the end of a long dreary winter •
like this year's," even the most jubilant of
spirits begin to flag. The world takes on
a gray monotony, about the colour and,
taste of English gravy.
We seem to be suspended 'In a vague
nightmare in Which we 'are swimming in
porridge. with no land in sight. We have
forgotten the glory of the individual spirit
and our fellow-beings seem to merge into
the murk.
Right there • is the point at which we
need good spring tonic. In the old days
our mothers, gave us a physical one, in
the shape of a good purge, and it seemed
to help.
But in these days of instant laxatives,
we need something for the spirit, not the
body. I got my tonic this year, just in time.
It was In the form of two stories both
true. -My• faith in the colour and vitality
of the human spirit was restored, and I
feel like living again.
The first One contained enough irony
and humanity to satisfy.the most.demanding
of writers. It concerned a bank'hold-up.
The manager was outtu lunch when
the desperado strtick. He slipped a note
to one of the tellers• informing her that it
7.1s a ,stick-up, then slipped a sawed-off
hotgun from under his coat, and went•
to the frpnt counter.
Chatting happily on the phone' to his
girl-friend, the accountant had his back
to the villain. The latter waited politely
"for him to finish his call and get the
message.
A lady teller, trying to get the ac-
countant's attention, kept hissing at him,
• "Dave! Dave!" He went blithely on, while
the robber began to drum his fingers, on
'the counter with just a touch of impatience.
Finally, he roared in a stentorian
voice, "DAVE!". _Dave looked over his
shoulder and dropped the phone as though
it were red-hot, as he looked into, that
shot-gun barrel,• about the size of a
Cyclops' eye. •
The intruder shoved a bag at Dave and
told him to fill it. It was 'done and the
visitor left with what, turned out to be
$3,000. He got away clear', though three
of the staff had rung alarm bells which
were directly 'connected to the police
The headlines in the local daily paper
c aught my eye the other day. "Women
-smarter than men" they said . . . and I
blinked hard and then read on.
It seems that Dr. Arthur Jensen claims
that on the average, women are smarter
than men - by some two 'to five IQ points.
Surely it didn't take a psychologist
all these years to discover what the world
has suspected since the beginning of time.
Juse-4 ,-; it was Eve in the Garden of Eden
who t Jok the lead. in -everything, it has
been women down through the ages who
have been the backbone of the nations.
' I'm net a women's liberationist,' think
you realize. I'm just a woman who sin-
cerely believes that women are superior
to men in intelligence and it isthe reason,
I'm sure, that God placed women in the
role of bearing children, caring for famil-
ies -and' making homes. After all, few
people will argue that homemaking is
one of the most important positions as far
as the future of this old world is concerned.
What would happen, for instance, if all
the women of the world suddenly decided
to quit rearing children. Gave them birth?
Well, that duty would have to 1'411'min-with
the ladies but after delivery, suppose all
the women in' the whole world agreed
they would let old dad' have a go at it.
How many men could be up all• night
with a cranky baby and still be -alert and
bright at the office the next day? Hew
many fathers could plan meals, care for,
the kids, the family's wardrobe mistress',
run ,a 'chauffering service and umpteen
different things and -still be a brilliant., •
conversationalist when the WS arrives
for cocktails 'and dinner? Not many, I'd
wager, because as well as not having the
fortitude to withstand the pressure of
home-type living,men just ii-Eiret as men-
tally ninible as women who must keep .
station. A customer saw the getaway
car and got the license number.
The chap was. picked up about a week
later. A sordid little story? Not at all.
This was no ordinary hood, This was a
man of character.
He dicinit 'go careening off, in a mad
chase with police bullets and tires scream-
ing. He droye a few blocks to a..hotel,
went in and hall---a few drinks.•Sensible
chap.
What did the hold-up man do' with the
money? He went to his own bank and
paid off a $500. loan. Then he went to
a finance company and paid them $1,000'
he owed them.
-What a pity he was caught! An honest
man who paid his debts, pushed by'them
into an armed-robbery charge. A man of
character. .1
• The second story is ,also true. I just
missed seeing it, but an eye-witness filled
'rime in. It's a•cowboy story.
The hero 'lives in a small town. He
owns and rides a beautiful horse. On
a recent Saturday, he rode uptown, feeling
no pain. He wanted his horse to enjoy
life, too, so he 'took him to a hotel and
tried to take him .into' the beer parlour.
Unaccountably, he was refused.
Undaunted, he tcok his steed across
the street to a tavern and tried to buy
him a double. Foiled again,' he was
trying to-liead his pal into the beverage
room of the pther hotel in town, when the
law arrived.•
I t was no contest. The cowboy told,
the cop exactly what he .thought of him.,
for about twenty minutes. He then mounted
Old Paint 'and galloped up the sidewalk
of the main ' street, scattering old ladies
into snowbanks and children into store
doorways.
Allegedly, when the constable was
asked why he didn't put the strong arm, on
the cowboy, he replied, "I didn't know
what to do with the dam' horse." And
a perfectly sensible answer.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that
Canadians are a dull, mousy, colourless
'of, Jesse James was a violent clod and
Dodge:City a home for old ladies, com-
pared to this bank robber. and this cowboy.
