Goderich girl

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.

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/

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.
You are invited to view our operations, including fertilizer blender,
elevators, mill, warehouses in addition to our new store facilities. Bring a
