There are wide spread reports of farmers and feed lot operators shutting down, or planning to shut down their operations because of the poor outlook for the future and the alternative op- portunities available without the work and risk associated with livestock production. The livestock industry is mov- ing from one crisis to another and will continue to do so unless the Federal Government es- tablishes a national meat authority and exercises control over pricing, and marketing of livestock and meat in the in- terests of both consumer and producers. pensive. During the latter part of the nineteenth century, a number of glass factories were 'in produc- tion in the Toronto and Hamilton areas, making not only the bottles and jars used in business and housekeepirfg, but decorative pieces, and "fancies" of, many kinds. Finally, the business was centralized in Wallaceburg, where production of glass began in 1894. Try to pay a visit to the Strathroy Middlesex Museum, 84 Oxford St., Strathroy, while the glass exhibit is on, Walter Miller, Vice-president Of the National Farmers' Union today said the federal govern- ment will have to revamp its en- tire price stabilization program. for beef, .hogs, and tlairy, if Canada is to maintain a viable livestock,and dairy industry. He said that the recently an- nounced stabilization, programs for beef and hogs do. nothing to overcome the insecurity faced by livestock farmers in the face of rapidly escalating costs.

Sales & Service 287-3242 Dashwood The special exhibit at the Strathroy Middlesex Museum, for the months of August and September is glass. Glass, with its varied colours, graceful shapes, and different types of decoration, is of interest both to special collectors, and to or- dinary householders, who have a few pieces that they treasure particularly. Its history goes far back into antiquity, with some scholars thinking the Chinese invented it, and others the Egyptians. Pliny, the Roman writer, says it was accidentally discovered' when some Phoenician traders camped on the banks of a river below Mt. Carmel in Palestine. They wanted something to steady their pans over a cooking fire, and used, some blocks of a salty substance that was there. The heat of the fire fused the salt with the sand beneath, and the first glass was made, The colour of glass depends on the mixture of ingredients—a trace of mineral in the sand causes a different shade,-The an- cient people, naturally, took years to find out how to control this, and clear glass was very un- usual. In fact the Emperor Nero is said to have paid about a quarter of a million dollars for a pair of two handled cups, made from colourless glass, because they were so rare. Over the centuries, various discoveries were made about glass -how to blow it, how to mold it, how to etch patterns on it, how to cut designs with wheels on a lathe, how to engrave it, how to make sheet glass. The Venetians, who made some of the most beautiful glass in the world, developed them method of fusing coloured glass threads in clear crystal. Probably the first glass made in Ontario, was at Mallorytown in Leeds County, some time before 1840. Until that time, glass had to be imported, and consequently was scarce and ex- market leaves me with some doubts of its continuous usefulness. - Speculators left Wall street in large numbers and bought paper soyabeans. In the selling and reselling of these commodities the price kept going up. Fortunes were made without a single bushel of product changing hands. The soyabean producer made no money and the soya- bean user had to pay exorbitant prices. Will the same thing happen with corn? Todays prices seems to indicate a trend in that direc- tion. Let's, hope that the future market doesn't become a tool for permanent ripoff on farmer and consumer. grain producing countries will mean widespread hunger throughout the poorer world and skyrocketing prices for the rest. One cynic told me recently that we can't be expected to feed the world if the population keeps on growing, He stated that it will be as itPalways has been and people will die by the millions until a balance between food production and people has been reached. Hailed by many as a great step forward for the farmer is the in- clusion of Ontario corn on the Canadian futures market. I sincerely hope the optimists are right. The future market has ,been a very useful marketing tool.

Stewart, Minister of Agriculture and Food, has announced the Government of Ontario's ap- proval of a $50,000 grant to the Middlesex Court Centre project in London, In making the an- nouncement, Mr, Stewart stated, "The funds will be used to in- itiate an immediate study'of the feasibility and the costs involved in the project." Middlesex Court Centre is an idea of community interest groups wanting to preserve the unique architectural qualities and historical significance of the Middlesex County Court House. In addition, the proposed Centre would serve as a focal point for cultural, historic, artistic, social, tourist and recreational needs of the surrounding area. Once completed, the Centre would be unique to Southwestern Ontario. • - "This concept represents a fine example of individual' leadership and cooperation between various groups and private citizens. The enthusiasm and personal sacrifice of all those involved in the Centre is in- dicative of the spirit of the City of London and Middlesex Coun- ty," added Mr. Stewart. The Middlesex Court Centre is a non-profit charitable organiza- tion• which has sought funds for the project from industry, the private sector, foundations and the three levels of government. As far as the Province of On- tario is concerned, the $50,000 grant represents monies design- ed specifically and solely for the purposes of conducting an initial analysis into the cost and benefits of the Middlesex Court Centre.
