Clinton News-Record, 1960-05-12, Page 2A -OT has been said, ,and sadly eoough„ prebabiy more will be said in the big pity papers about the farmer, and the feet that he 'cries a lot" .:but still lives Those same city writ- ,ere MO* this remark: why fuss about supporting the price of butter? Why don't these silly farm- err start grewing soy beans, eed make margerine .out of the resulting pile? Why should Canadian taXpayere continue to support a nen-peying but-. ter industry? Well, the dairy industry is much maligned,. by those who think no further than this year. Tn the spring issue of Growing Flowers, corn- meat is made that for those who„-think only of this Year and of the next, the commercial fertili- zers are all right in their way, hilt agrieeltural- ists know, and wile tell you, that the effect of commercial fertilizers is for one year only. Their benefits do not stay with the land, but must be ever renewed. - Now to get back to the dairy cow. There is a wondrous animal, which besides providing the human beings of this earth with milk (the great- est complete food) from which comes cream, butter; cheese, and: all variations of these, but this same cow it busy doing other things as well. Meat is suppotedly raised by the beef ani- mal, of course, but the dairy row, and her off- spring eventually find their way onto-the dinner table, either as veal (for ,a male dairy calf has limited value), or as a senior type of beef, which has a ready buying market. Arid while this is going on, that same cow is happily • converting grass and grain ' into a n5tural fertilizer which combines with the land to produce a healthy growing place for more hay and grain, which is consumed by the cow, and the business .of milk production, butter arid •theese, and good red meat begins again. Soy beans are a one-crop affair, which in most land, requires strong applications of commercial fer- tilizer to grow well. In that same issue of (rowing Flowers is reprinted the folleWing poem Which indicates clearly to us, the worth of a good fanner to coming generations: An old man, travelling a lone highway, Came at the evening cold and grey, To a chasm deep and wide. The old man crossed ileehe twilight dim, For the sullen stream held no fear for him. But he turnecrwhen he reached the other side And blinded a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," cried a fellow pilgrim near, "Yoe are wasting your strength with build- ing here; Your journey will end with the ending day, And you never again will pass this way. You have crossed the chasm deep and wide Why build a bridge at eventide?" And the builder raised his old gray head: "Good friend, on the path. I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today A youth whose feet will pass this way. This stream, which has been as naught to me, To that fair-haired boy may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim— Good friend, I am building this bridge for him." A roof to keep out the rain, Four walls to keep out the wind, Floors to keep out the cold, Yes, but Home is more than that, It is the laugh of a baby, The song of a mother, • The strength of a father Warmth of loving hearts; Light from happy eyes, Kindness; Loyalty, Companionship. Home is first school, And first church for young ones. Home is where they learn what is right, What is good and what is kind, Where they go for comfort When they are hurt or sick, Where joy is shared HOME And sorrow eased, Where fathers and mothers Are respected and loved, Where children are wanted, Where the simplest food Is good enough for kings, Because it is earned. Where money is not so important t As loving kindness. Where even thel teakettle Sings from happiness. That is Home. , God bless it! —From the Dutch-Canadian independent weekly, De Nederlandse Courant voor Canada. DEAD ONES ARE LUCKY ONES HOSPITALS, which house so .much suffering, also see a lot of cheerfulness. Doctors, nurses and other workers show pleasant good humour at all times, and the patient who does not make an effort to joke and smile when possible, it an exception, Wards and corridors hum smoothly with quiet activity and pleasant voices. But not every- where. Some rooms are quiet, all the time. Some- times a nurse will take in a portable radio to break the silence, while she attends to the needs of the patient% They are the men and women with brain injuries, lying motionless in a coma, Many of them are the victims of traffic accidents. A high proportion are motor-cyclists, who found they couldn't stop quite as fast as the transport ahead, says the Ontario Safety League. DIFFERENT FOR SOMETHING a little different on Wed- nesday afternoon, why not go for a ride on a train? Board the railines in the Clinton station and go up to Goderich. Visit around the station in the county town, watch the workmen loading up the freight, walk up to the Square and visit the County Court 'House, then come back home. Leaving time is 12.44 p.m. D.S,T., and you'll Some of them will recover completely. Others, if they lie in )a coma for more than a couple of weeks, may get back their physical strength, but suffer loss of memory and other Mental impairment. Others will stay in a 'living death for a year or more before they cease to' breathe, A traffic fatality will always get into the newspapers, and sometimes into the headlines. But highway injuries are so common-place that, as a rule they are of interest only to the im- mediate relatives and friends of the victims, The statistics of traffic fatalities are a total- ly inadequate index of the total human suffer- ing caused by selfish and reckless driving. The O.S.L. points out that 25 people are injured for every one who dies in traffic. And sometimes the ones who die at once are the lucky ones. EXPERIENCE come back home to Clinton station by 4.20 p.m. D.S.T. Return adult fare is 95c; children under five years, free; up to 12 years, 50c. As the man says, every year there • gets to be more station wagons, and fewer stations. If you don't' take advantage of a train ride when ire available, there's a chance you may miss the opportunity altogether. ALWAYS OPIEN TO THOIS IN NSW From Our Early Files Thursday, May 9, 1935 A.

ABOUT PREJUDICE The Editor, Clinton News-Record, Prejudice, particularly racial prejudice, is an abominaation to the human race. We state this as as truism, self-evident in itself. We •all felt ta distinct sense of nausea at the wave of anti-Sem- itism that swept the globe after Christmas.. The thought of syn- agogues' being desecrated by swag- tikes and anti-Jewish slogans brought a sense of righteous wrath and a sense of shame that any of our fellow human beings could so treat their brother man. There is a point to all this: a little over a week ago, there was found in the Clinton Post Office a paper bag on which was written such anti-Semitic propaganda. Among other things there were pictures of the swastika-bearing eagle, a soldier giving t h e straight-arm salute, the words "juden , ist vettoten"—Jews are forbidden, and "Rause"—out, poin- ting to the Star of David. We do not intend to start any wave of outrage against those who might have done this: we simply wish to show that this sort' bf prejudice is not unknown in Clin- ton. We would intend that it be- hooves parents, school and church leaders alike to ensure that our youth do not grow up with a mis- construed idea of our attitudes to- ward other races, creeds and colors. All we can say to those who support this type of bigotry which that been discovered is equally: Rause! D. C. May 10, 1960, Clinton, Ontario. IDEA WITH POSSIBILITIES Dear Editor: In referring to Mr. C. J. Liver- more's letter of last week,, as re- gards to these parking meters: Why waste so much. precious time and money when we could try this one-- Take all. the vehicles off the road' that aren't paid for? Signed, "A PEDESTRIAN" May 10, 1960, Clinton, Ontario. But in my opinion, Mother's Day as practiced is a big farce., That's why I've chosen to wait until today to urge you to read this, take the next 24 -hours' off regardless of cries of outrage, and let 'those bums in your family learn some of the hard facts of life. They get off too easily on Mother's Day. Its name should be changed • to' Family-Conscierice- Easing Day. Thep all it amounts to. And mothers are utter idiots if they let the old man and the kids off the hook with a one-day display of respect and affection, In short, mothers of the world; you have been taken again. But get with it, form a union, demand fringe benefits, go on strike, and you'll finally begin to occupy your proper position as acting, unpaid centre of the universe. If your Mother's Day program went anything like ours, you are fertile ground for the seeds of re- bellion I'm scattering. Let's see, now. One of the kid's woke you at 7 a.m. tae Mother's Day to tell you that you were not to get up for breakfast. So you lay there waiting for your annual breakfast in bed. Two hours later, the tray arrived, Lukewarm coffee, a congealed egg and carbonized toast. But ah, look there, they put a flower in a INAIININNNINNIKINKIINNP~.04.04.1.11MANNINFOriNNIN, INSURANCE 3. E.

The kitchen looked 'as •though there had been a New Year's Eve party. Your daughter was wearing a green sweater, blue skirt and orange socks with her black shoes. But you got some big smacking kisses, And then came the pre- sents. An exhausted azalea in a pot from dear son. A nice, new pink plastic dishpan from darling daughter. And a pair Of lovely foam rubber 'kneeling pads from sweet old Dad. Your heart wel- led at their thoughtfulness. Then Dad cried heartily; "We- 're all going to church. No, you're not to touch those dishes,Mother. The kids and I will do thm when we get home."
