Goderich girl pork hostess willing to spend a few million dollars each year on a public relations program. Since that money would have to come from the products sold to the consumer, it most likely would raise another cry of being the cause of high food prices. I refer to the cry about 9 million eggs having rotted in Quebec. The curious fact is that always the price of eggs is quoted per dozen or to a case of 30 dozen. Now it is not 25,000 cases. That doesn't sound sensational enough. Then they claim that the taxpayer came to the rescue of the egg board to the tune of $10 million.Not one red cent has been paid by the government. As has been the custom for years, the Canadian government buys food for hungry countries, In the past they have bought chickens and white beans and wheat etc. Now it is eggs. So what. Nothing new here. The breaking eggs for the baking industry are over-quota eggs and the producer who overproduces can only sell those extra eggs at a loss. So in effect it is he who subsidizes the bakeries and through them the consumer. But I bet that the bakeries take their profit on those eggs below cost eggs. But then, there's nothing wrong with making a profit. That's the whole idea of quotas, to give the producer a profit. If the quota system was used to rip off the consumer it would be a different story, but every business has a right to a profit, provided that the business is run efficiently. I just read in the daily papers that some turkey producers are killing their young turks, because it costs more to feed them than they will return. A while ago an Alberta pork , producer shot his weaner pigs for the same reasbn. Two Japanese pork producers went a step further than that. They killed themselves because of low prices, by lying down on the railroad tracks when the train was due. Apparently the Japanese government didn't like the mess and gave the surviving pork men more assistance. SEPT. 12-13 & 14 EXETER DISTRI ACTTTHECO-OPERATIVE Give dates for fall fairs The fourth annual Pork bar- beque held in the Seaforth arena again was a huge success. 'Under the chairmanship of Alfred Warner of Bayfield this event drew 1500 people to partake in the deliciously barbequed cured porkchops. Highlight of the evening was the Pork Hostess contest with five girls participating. Accor- ding to the judges, who were the wives of Huron county's representatives in the federal and provincial legislatures, Mrs. McKinley, Gaunt and Riddel, the choice for the winner was very difficult because of the high calibre of the contestants. Brenda Moore, RR 4, Goderich won the contest and was presented with a beautiful pigskin coat on behalf of Baintons Old Mill in Blyth. The runner ups were the Misses Cherryl Web- ster, Varna, Margaret Van Dyk, Seaforth, Teresa Ondrejicka, Exeter, and Yvonne Bean, Auburn. All runner ups were presented with a cheque. Mr. Warner said the first barbeque,' held in 1971 drew 350 people, followed the next year with an attendance of 550. The third year it was 1,100 and now with 1,500 it is reaching the limit of people that can be ac- commodated in one evening. Leo Kroonen of Dublin prepared the pork chops with his Perth county portable barbeque. • at/ Area homemakers display at London On Friday, September 6th, 123 4-H Homemaking Club girls from the counties in Southwestern Ontario will be participating in the Junior Day at the Western Fair in London.

New fixtures, comfortable lighting and improved service area make Co-Op shopping a pleasure for all, Agricultural Fairs are now underway for what will probably be their biggest year ever. These popular fairs have been in existence since 1792 when the Governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, was a patron of the first fair at Niagara-on-the- Lake. Since that beginning, over 180 years ago, fall fairs, as they are widely known have flourished, with over 240 going strong and getting ' stronger. The Agricultural Societies behind these fairs draw most of their strength from the rural population. Competing against your neighbors is a big part of a Fall Fair. Agricultural fairs attract people from miles around. They also appeal to those who have left the farm and want to return to see the Fair. They attract others who have never seen a farm - people who bring their children to the showing of light and heavy horses, dairy and beef cattle, swine, sheep and poultry and to watch the judging, Most fairs have midways for the younger visitors and there is often entertainment by local talent, as well as some professional shows. The various exhibits and classes in sewing, quilts, arts and crafts, home baking, flowers, fruit and vegetables round out a visit to any of the agricultural fairs. Locally, the Exeter fair is set for Friday and Saturday, Sep- tember 20 and 21. The Zurich fair goes September 21 and 23 and Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday your Co-Op is celebrating the Open House and Grand Opening. You will find daily draws for valuable prizes.
