and sliced. All storebought tomatoes are a
pale imitation of the taste experience one gets
from those super fresh tomatoes. It's the same
with/corn taken directly from the plant to the
pot or with fresh peas, picked at their peak of
flavour and prepared immediately before they
can lose any of their sweetness. I'm drooling
already and I've just finished breakfast.,
The one common denominator about all
those things is that money just can't buy any
of them. The irony is that in our affluent
modern society, a smaller proportion of the
populations is enjoying these pleasures today
than 50 years ago. It's hard to smell the subtle
hint of lilac on the air when the air is filled
with gasoline exhaust in Agincourt or White
Oaks. Hayfields are a little h and to find in the
middle of Kitchener or Hamilton. People are
eating "fresh" fruits and vegetables all year
long, but they never get to taste what the fruit
or vegetable really is like before it's picked
green, shipped hundreds or thousands of
miles and left to sit for two or three days
before it goes in the display case.
Canadians have so many material things
today that their grandparents could never
have dreamed of, but they're also missing so
By, Keith Roulston
many precious things that their grandparents •
took for granted. I guess it depends which you
think is more important, two cars or the taste
of really fresh vegetables, but I really wonder
if the average Canadian is better off than his
grandfather.
The tragedy is that fewer and fewer people
will have the chance to enjoy these natural
pleasures in the future if we continue to drive
people off the farm and discourage small
towns in favour of cities.
People soon will think a real tomato tastes
strange because they've grown up used to the
poor imitations they buy in their city stores,
much the same as many of us don't know what
real orange juice tastes like anymore because
we're so used to the processed imitation.
Ah well, let them suffer. We people in the
country and in small towns where everybody
has a small garden still know the real joys of
summer. Come January our summer thoughts
will not so much be of baking on the beach but
of eating in the kitchen, of smelling the air in
the back yard. We'll know that summer is
more than a tan all over ,and we'll know that
even if we make that trip south, we won't be
recapturing a really Canadian 'summer. Some
things about summer just can't be bought.
Miss Kathy Work--bride elect
of the month, was honoured
recently at a miscellaneous
shower by friends, neighbours
and some relatives in Melville
" Presbyterian Sunday school
room. The decorations were pink

Mrs. Schlattman, and three of her

introduced by Mrs. Innes.
Mrs. limes also announced the
numbers for a short programme
which consisted of two songs by
Chris and Karla King, Carol Ten
Pas and Wayne McCutcheon with
Mrs. Joanne King at the piano, a
comic reading by Wilma
Hemingway, a lively step dance
by Leanne Armstrong and a
reading by Helen Elliott - "The
Legend of the Wedding Ring."
Joyce Ireland read the
following address:
Dear Kathy:
We are gathered here tonight
to wish you all the joys in your
new life.
Many here have seen you grow
from babyhood to young woman-
hood and have your welfare at
heart. We are proud that you
became a successful teacher and
hope that in your new home you
will not forget your neighbours
and friends.
Now, as you are about to board
the ship of matrimony we wish you
smooth sailing, a peaceful
harmonious voyage, health,
happiness and prosperity.
This little verse expresses the
sincere good wishes of your
friends.
May your wedding bells ring
gaily,
And the music that they play,
Promise years of joy and gladness
Starting on your Wedding day.
May a life serene and happy,
Stretch before you far ahead,
As the light of love shines
brightly,
On the pathway you will tread."
So now we wish you to accept
these gifts to be used in your new
home and hope they will serve to
remind you of the place you hold
in our hearts.
Many useful and beautiful gifts
were presented to her. After the
bride had thanked everyone,
lunch was served, bringing a
happy evening to a close.
