Clinton News-Record, 1971-05-27, Page 9Remember a year ago we were given the choice of inflation or unemployment, well by the latest D.B.S. figures we have done even better — we have both. Now we are told that, if we don't get over our foolishness and correct the situation, we will have wage and price controls. This is a nice thought. We had wage and price controls during the last war. However, "control" apparently meant "freeze". That is, at a set date, wages and prices were pegged as of that date. Kind of seems to me that any time now would be an opportune time for such a move. Most anybody that matters, the members of parliament, organized labour and all the businesses and professions that matter have gotten themselves into a favourable position. Those on minimum wage and the unemployed are at a satisfactory level to supply any increased labour needs economically for their employers, Farm produce and retail prices should satisfy the powers that be so why not price and wage "controls", meaning "freeze". How else could it be done? Who have we that dares to evaluate the worth of a man's labour? Generally it has been accepted that the higher the level of education the higher the income. Also the greater the responsibility for investment and equipment has affected income directly. Let us consider these in relation to the needs of people. Medical doctors seem to require the most expensive and prolonged education. Therefore, they should have the highest income, But is it true? A few months ago on T.V. a medical doctor was telling of his work in one of the more backward areas of Africa. He told of the disease, sickness, high death rate of babies and mothers and the premature aging and death of the people. But like so many of these programs the most significant statement was probably missed by most of the viewers. He concluded the interview by stating that 75 per cent of the medical work he did would have been unnecessary if the people had an adequate food supply. In other words, Canadian farmers, by supplying an adequate and wholesome food supply, are doing three times as much at keeping our population healthy as are our doctors, nurses and all our hospital facilities. In light of this, what should a farmer's income be? But this is only the beginning. The first physical necessity of man is food, followed by clothing and shelter. This made the "mighty hunter" the top man in the community, for in many communities the hunter provided all three. However, the supplying of food and , incidentally, clothing and shelter as a by-product, kept the whole family busy. Then the farmer appeared and civilization started to make progress. Soon the farmer was able to provide more food than he and his family needed. At the Open House at the Agricultural College at Centralia this Spring they displayed a picture depicting farming at the time when one farmer provided enough food for his own and one other family — a bushel' of wheat purchased a pair of the best work shoes you could buy. How many bushels of wheat does it take to-day? This is the reward the farmer has obtained for his modern efficiency. Now a farmer provides food for 47 people. As a result, others have time to go to school, to college, to work in factories and manufacture all sorts of things that give us our high standard of living. Should the farmer disappear, and the general idea of the powers that be seems to be that the farmer is expendable, we will all revert to dark ages. Show me a country in poverty and ignorance and I will show you a country where agricultural production is primitive. wonder at what level the powers that be will fix the income of the man who has increased his production more per man and has a greater capital investment per man than any other industry?

YOU CAN HELP TOO. "Even your interest earns interest with a Bonus Savings Account." says Red Merriman "The great thing about a Royal Bank Bonus Savings Account is that it helps you make more money — faster. It pays high interest, and the interest is then added to your savings. So every time your interest is calculated, it's on your accumulated savings plus the ac- cumulated interest you've already earned. So it really begins to pile up. Another thing — a Bonus Savings Account is meant strictly for saving so you can't write cheques. You can get your money. out whenever you need to, but because you can't write cheques, there's not the same tempta- tion to nibble away at your savings, So if you've got something special to save for . . . a new home, a car, a trip . . . or you'd like to put away a 'nest egg', a Royal Bank Bonus Savings Account makes a lot of sense. Because it makes saving a lot easier. And a 101:faster. Come on in and talk it over."

Mr. Milton Pearson and son Stuart of Toronto visited with Mrs. Maude Pearson over the weekend. Knox Presbyterian Church opened on Sunday, May 23, with between 40 and 50 members and visitors attending. The church will remain open until after Labour Day. The service was conducted by Mr. Lloyd Clifton. Mrs. Chan of Wobristock played the organ. Sunday School teacher Miss Winnifred Armstrong showed a film to the children. This was the first of a series of films for the summer. It is felt that the use of audio-visual material increases the interest of the children and helps in the presentation of lessons. This Sunday was the start of an experimental ministry being sponsored by Knox Presbyterian Church this summer. It is felt that the church can be relevant to the summer residents and the young, The emphasis this summer will be on the contemporary and casual aspects of the church, To this end it is to be hoped that the church will be able to sponsor various activities for people in Bayfield and the surrounding area. Mr. and Mrs. A. Latemer, Bill, Gib and Gristy of Weston visited with Mrs. Gel Knight over the weekend. Mr. Clare Woodrow of Whitby visited with Mr. and Mrs. D. Gemeinhardt for 10 days. Bayfield's clerk Gordon Graham spent .a week in Goderich hospital but is back home now and ready for business as usual. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Durham, Jim and Ron, Clarkson, spent the Victoria Day weekend with his uncle, Carl and Mrs. Diehl, and visited his mother Mrs. M. Durham at Huronview. Miss Kathleen Reed, Windsor, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Carl E. Diehl at "The Hut" from Thursday to Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Merrill spent Sunday and Monday holidaying at Fenelon Falls and travelling through the Kawartha Lake District. Experiments conducted at the Canada Agriculture Research Station at Lennoxville, Quebec last summer show that farmers can increase milk production by nitrogen fertilization of pastures. Gaspard Lalande, one of the scientists conducting these experiments, says the best results were obtained from a field which received 200 pounds of nitrogen as a top dressing during the summer. The response was measured by weighing the milk production of eight dairy cows on a pasture made up of approximately 75 per cent timothy and 25 per cent Ladino clover. The Right Reverend C. J. Queen, Bishop of Huron, announces the appointment of the Reverend George Youmatoff, S.Th., C.D., to be the Incumbent of Trinity Church, Bayfield, with St. James' Church, Middleton, He will begin his ministry on September 1, succeeding the Reverend E. J. B. Harrison, who will be retiring at that time. Mr. and Mrs. Youmatoff will live in their own home in Bayfield. Mr. Youmatoff was born in Helsingfors, Finland, coming to Canada in 1925. In 1950 he set up a program of Russian language instruction across Canada for the Army, and at the same time served as a lay-reader in Ottawa. He enrolled in the Diocesan Training School in Ottawa in 1951. He has served as a Chaplain in the Army since 1958 until the present. The cows, averaging 1,200 pounds body weight were divided into four groups of two each. The pasture was divided into four sections of 1,26 acres, each one carrying two cows. The entire area was fertilized with 1,000 pounds of 0-15-30 chemical fertilizer before the cows were pastured. Four top dressings of ammomium nitrate — the first made with 0-15-30— were made at intervals of three to four weeks throughout the 132-day test period. The control pasture received no nitrogen during the summer, and was tested over a 126-day period. The second pasture received 100 pounds of nitrogen; the third, 200 pounds, and the fourth, 300 pounds. Results of the experiment show that the pasture which received 200 pounds of nitrogen gave the greatest return as measured in terms of milk production. Cattle on this pasture produced 10,994 pounds per acre during the 132-day test period. "At this level the soil seems to reach a saturation point and any additional application only results in reduced yields," says Mr. Lalande. The cattle used in this experiment were fed no hay or silage. However, they were given meal at the rate of one-half pound per 100 pounds of live weight or between SIx and seven pounds of meal daily depending on their weight, ayfield f yfield Yacht. Club elects new officers The Suminerhill ladies held the May meeting at the home of Alice Westerhout. The meeting was opened with the Creed and the Lord's Prayer said in unison. 21 members answered the roll call, which was exchange of flower slips. The minutes and treasurer's report were approved. The dessert euchre proved to be a success. A motion was made to send the Red Cross $10.00. John Gibbings is to cut the grass at the ball this year. The raffle was won by Joanne Salverda.
