By bargclining on interest rates Farmers can have big savings by bargaining on interest rates, Bill Benson, Second Vice-President of the Ontario Federation' df Agri- culture told a group of area farmers. Benson told the regional meeting of the Huron county Federation of Agriculture, many farmers with a good credit rating 'had recently , been able to negotiate a. much lower interest rate than 'was originally quoted. He added, the practice is not just confined to the banks, but is general amongst financial insteitnustoionns. B urged farmers, to he aggressive in 'their negoti-L' ations. sayings are there but you will never, get them until you ask. Farmers should shop for credit just as carefully as they do for anything else," he said. • Benson pointed out inter- est payments had become an increasing burden for the province's farmers, "Operat- ing costs have 'skyrocketed and, the price of new land, equipment and buildings is . nearly beyon& belief. When you' combine that with the low product 'prices of the last few years, it means the farmer is now as dependant upon the financial insti- tutions as any other busi- messman."- The latest figures from Statistics 'Canada show that in 1977, Ontario's farmers paid' $204 million in interest charges. This compares with $187 million the year before. Benson forecast the• combin- ation of even higher interest ' rates and increasing indebt- edness would drive the figure still higher in 1978. Benson said he hoped for the sake of the farm corn- , munity that the recent in- creases in farm gate prices would • continue.' He con- uded .„ "we, need the in- creases just to pay the interest."

For example, Desi Arnez, , a Cuban singer and band leader, became well — known on TV as the sometimes bewildered husband Of that madcap redhead, Lucy. Before' entering show business, he was a bird cage cleaner. Dean ,Martin was a steel worker, and Clark Gable was -a lumberjack, For eleven yeras, comedienne Carol Burnett opened her weekly tv variety show by 'itanding in front of a studio audience and answering their questions. Before she began per forming on stage, she was an usherette directing members of theatre padiences• to their seats. Many of todays comics are bringing back the brand of humour characterized by W.C. Fields. Because of that. I Can picture him at his earlier occupation - juggling. I see him jggling three objects -shaped like bowling pins; he has a fat cigar clenched between his teeth, and out of the corner of his mouth he is saying to his shapely female assistant, "Ah, ye . , my little chickadee." Joseph Wambaugh, a successful author, gathered the material for his novels and television stories from his true life ex- periences as a policeman. - Char lie Pride, who has been one of the most popular country singers in the United States for the past dozen years, turned down a career in professional baseball, but he still works out at a pro team's training camp each srping. Babe Ruth, one of the greatest baseball Players of all time, was a bartender.. Even is you're not a sports' fan, you've probably heard of Howaid Cosell - sports- caster for•an American televison network. If you haven't, heard him, you've probably heard .a comedian imitating him. He has a distinctive way with words, and I was not' surprised to learn he had 'been a, lawyer. I cam hear him now: "Ladies and gentle men of the jury; you see before you my client, the defendant - a woman deserted by her husband, scorned by her friends, a victim of the proverbial triangle. Her fate . ., is in your hands." The previouS occupations of some famous people are well-known. Remember Perry Como? For several years, he hosted a 'weekly tv variety show. I recall seeing him sitting on a stool in front of a music stand and crooning bongs that had been re- quested by the audience in letters. A few years ago "Mr" C." went into semi-retirement to travel around the world.. He pops up once in awhile on tv specials, and his reconicare played occasionally on radio stations, "Mr. C." has not been forgotten. Most' people know that before he became famous for singing on a stool in a television or recording studio,, he stood behind a chair in a barber shop. I wonder if he sang to his customers 'while he cut their hair? And I wonder how many potential Mi. Cs we have crooning in barber shops in town. Another rise to fame that most people are 'familiar with is, the story Of Elvis Presley, who gyrated his way from a truck driver to a muscial legend. Millions of fans were shocked by, his death and travelled thousands of miles to attend his funeral. Elvis impersonators trying to keep `the legendof th rock and roll" alk b, dr sing like him, singing like him a 2 pe Forming like him. Presley look-alike on -sts have been held, and one fellow even had plastic surgery to . make himself look more like the -legendary Elvis. " There will never be another Elvis Presley, but I wonder how many truck drivers think they could sing and gyrate their way to fame and fortune. • - Truck driver to king or rock and roll; lawyer to sportscaster; juggler totenowned comedian; -bartender to baseball slugger; bird cage cleaner-to singer, band leader and actor. Sometimes the stories before the fame are as interesting as the ones that' come after the fame. If you're 60, or more, you're eli- gible to join our Victoria and Grey "60 AND A DAY" Club.
