Tuesday was Huron County's
Spring Stock Show day and as
a sort of change the weather
was fine. Arthur Dale and
Charles Lindsay carried off
most of the prizes for cattle.
One noticeable feature of the
day was the great number of
automobiles seen in the street.
So many farmers drive, cars

Recreationally speaking
Last Wednesday evening we held a meeting of those who
were interested in fitness, through either jogging, walking,
cycling or swimming.
There was a fairly average turnout and as a result, we
have decided to go ahead with a fitness club which will
follow Dr, Cooper's Aerobics program.
One of the basics of his program is to determine the level
of fitness the individual is at now, When this is determined,
individual programs are set up based on the activity you
wish to do,
We are going to have the test on Wednesday 4pril 25 at
the Arena. There will be two test times; 5:30 and 6 p.m.
The test itself takes about 12 minutes. All you are required
to do is to see how far you can run in a 12 minute time
period. Please do not eat supper before taking the test,
After this is done, everyone will receive a copy of his or
her program to fitness. The rest is up to you.

BY J. CARL HEMINQWAY
I picked up a topic for an article last week while on vacation (?)
but it will have to wait.
You have heard that words have no meaning but people have
meanings for words.
We have been hearing a lot of words about the high cost of food
with meats getting most of the blame,
We have been hearing about the grave concern of a great many
people and even our government for those on low incomes who
find it difficult to buy meat, These people are saying that the price
of hogs and cattle has to be forced down.
Not so many years ago, probably 12, I got less than 20c a lb.
dressed for hogs. (cattle were not much different) and there was
lots of beef and pork, There were plenty of people who couldn't
buy that meat but there were no headlines, no pickets, no concern,
Of course, other things were of lower cost then and somehow wall-
to-wall carpeting hadn't been the in-thing, or multiple bathrooms
or double or triple attached garages,
The words are "meat is too expensive" "the poor can't buy
meat."
I think we have the wrong meaning for these words. They
mean, housing is taking too much of earnings, clothing is taking
too much of our income , cars are taking too much, holidays,
drinks, entertainment etc. etc. — there isn't enough left for food
that we have been used to buying for too little for years and years.
I think these words also mean that the vast majority of our con-
sumers dare not "boycott" the' cost of housing, they dare not
boycott the cost of processing or retailing of even food products, or
of any other products or services because their own incomes would
be in jeopardy.
However, hog and cattle prices ,can be forced down. Farmers
aren't well enough organized to withhold livestock. Too many
farmers are too much in debt to stop sales.
This is what the words mean and unfortunately the meaning is
all too true, and a boycott on meat by any significant number will
force the price down — now .
The second part "the poor can't buy meat" simply means that
the more affluent sector is frightened by the thought higher food
prices will curtail their luxury spending, They want lower priced
food and hopefully the poor will be able to pick up better crumbs.
Unfortunately for everybody, poor-and affluent, just when farmers
are seriously considering increased production, the Consumers
Organizations are telling the farmers they won't pay the producers
an equitable price for their product. They are forcing farmers to
turn to quota production. This won't mean exorbitant food prices,
but a poor crop can easily cut production way below the quotas
allowed. How much will food cost then? It will also mean strict
rationing or the poor will starve. With the age of the average On-
tario farmer approximately 57 years we can ill-afford to
discourage young men from farming.

sausage breakfast, WO male

eal, the kind that practically
very mother must face from
ime to time, Last weekend, the
oungest member of our family
ad a birthday. He changed
rom six to seven in the wink of
n eye and I got one more
ay hair over it all.
It was on the eve of his birth-
day that he came running in
from his game of driveway
hockey to question me concer-
fling the invitations.
"What invitations?" I asked,
getting that pit of my stomach
churning which always accom-
panies disaster,
"For my party," he said, his
eyes as wide as two giant
saucers.
I sunk into the nearest chair,
Birthday parties for little boys
are about the worst thing that
can happen to a woman,
Between gulps of water and
sniffles, my son explained he'd
already told some of his
classmates he was hosting a
birthday party, He said there
wouldn't be many - maybe
eight and that the menu
should consist of fried chicken,
mashed potatoes, cabbage
salad (without the other stuff
in it), mixed vegetables, pop
and chocolate cake with ice
cream.
When 'I regained my com-
posure, I exerted my mother's
privilege. I told him that as a
working mopher, there would
be no birthday parties through
the week, I also melted when
he tears, began profusely and
old him that a Saturday
heatre party with hotdogs and
ake afterward would have to
uffice.
My son was delighted. The
ext few minutes consisted of
eking big plans for Satur-
ay's event while I quickly
arranged my own personal
ans for a leisurely day-off in
e city.
I hope I'm not offending
yone when I say that I am
posed to annual birthday
rties for small children. Bir-
ay parties can become a real

know that kids get e tremen-
dous amount of pleasure from
these social gatherings .„. and I
suppose I'd be something of a
monster if I'd rule that birth-
day parties become extinct.
Anyway, the party was on
and Saturday at the appointed
hour, eight little packeges of
dynamite arrived carrying bir-
thday presents..
"Where's your TV?" asked
the first.
"I can't eat chocolate,"
stated the second.
"My mother says I shouldn't
go outdoors," announced the
third. "I've got the f114."
Fortunately for the three of
them, my son wisked them
away to listen to records until
it was time - blessed time - to
leave for the theatre.
When eating time rolled
round, I was prepared for the
worst. The dining table was set
in festive array and within
seconds after the howling hard
descended on it, I knew my ef-
forts at color co-ordination had
been wasted.
It took only five minutes for
one guest to spill his glass of
pop, another to get sick and
need bathroom facilities im-
mediately and one more to lose
control of the ketchup and send
it across the table onto another
boy's new sweater.
As the meal progressed, I
discovered the words to two
new dirty songs; one of the
teachers wears support hose
and false teeth; and the neigh-
borhood may have an outbreak
of jungle fever.
The hotdogs were well
received; the chocolate cake
was fairly well acclaimed; but
my choice of ice cream was
way, way off. I had selected
three flavor ice cream - you
know, the chocolate, strawberry
and vanilla blend.
"Uch-ch-ch!" exclaimed one
little fellow. "I hate that stuff."
"What would you like?" I
asked sweetly, hoping he'd tell
me he wanted a punch in the
head,
"Anything but that," came
his terse reply.
"Fun thing," I muttered.
"That's the way I feel about
birthday parties,"
