How free is free trade?
Canada's 42,000 dairy farmers are just one of the groups worried
about the free trade talks with the United States. Statements by the
government that supply management marketing boards will not be
dismantled have been welcome news, but, there is concern that the
political posturing that occurs in any negotiations, the border controls
that allow the Canadian milk marketing system to operate effectively
will be done away with. Any tampering with these underpinnings of
the dairy industry are apparently totally unacceptable to Canada's
dairy industry.
A much publicized goal of the free trade talks with the U.S. is to
remove all tariffs by the end of the centruy. This could mean the loss of
a sizeable portion of Ontario milk production.
For instance, there are currently tariffs on yoghurt and ice cream. In
Ontario, the potential impact of removing these tariffs could be very
damaging as yoghurt and ice cream make up 14 per cent of the in-
dustrial milk allocation. Removal of the tariffs without some suitable
alternative, such as putting these products on the Import Control List,
would undermine the Canadian milk supply management program.
The main reason free trade, as such, will not work for our dairy in-
dustry is the. fact that Americans produce more milk than they can con-
sume while Canada comes very close in balancing its supply and de-
mand year after year. Remove the tariffs on milk products coming into
the country and Canadian producers will suffer.
It is important to realize that free trade will not work for all sectors
of the economy. The dairy industry is an example. It is oriented to the
domestic market and has achieved a balance that benefits all society..
Disrupting this sense of order will only hurt Canada and the Canadian
economy.
Free trade is not to be taken lightly. There are many sectors of
business that may suffer due to reduced tariffs on imports from south
of the border. Let's hope our negotiators consider carefully what we
will lose as much as what we gain. R.B.
Did you know that right now in your kit-
chen you have the necessary ingredients to
increase your life span, lessen your plight,
cure migrains and win the war for the
allies. It's true, on paper at least. With the
exception of natural di sters or acts of
God, anyone with a nfhhimal amount of
culinary skills can cheat the grim reaper
out of many years of healthy living.
Here's the secret...your spice rack.
That's right. Normal, everyday herbs and
spices, have some incredible properties.
Just look at some of the attributes of a well
stocked spice rack.
Parsley is an herb rich in Vitamin E and
has three times the amount of Vitamin A
as an orange. A derivative of parsley,
apiol, was discovered in the mid -1800's to
be instrumental in the treatment of
malarial disorders and liver and spleen
ailments. The parsley seed can `break up
kidney stones so they can be passed easily
with less pain".
Parsley tea is recognized as a good relief
of rheumatism, dropsy and jaundice.
Sheep like it because, if they eat enough, it
will prevent foot -rot and if that isn't
enough reason to keep a couple of bales of
parsley in the cupboard, I don't know what
is.
Garlic is a good one. It has a long history
of healing. Not only is it a great defense
against vampires, but during the great in-
fectious fever •in the English slums of the
19th Century, garlic's true powers came to
light. Seems the French priests who were
called in to administer to the fever victims
remained remarkably free from infec-
tion...while the English clerics succumbed
by the hundreds. The French maintained it
was the large doses of garlic in their diets
that provided their bodies with a
safeguard against disease.
To go even further back in history, garlic
was a main part of the Isrealites diet dur-
ing their enslavement in Egypt. This fact
By Rob Smash
has led many Biblical scholars to
hypothesis that the delayed pursuit by the
Egyptian army may have been due to the
formidable fumes that surrounded the
fleeing flocks of Moses.
It's great as a chip dip too.
Another one of your everyday herbs
possessing wild and wonderful properties
is dill. Super on backed potatoes and effec-
tive as a mild tranquilizer, dill has
soothing qualities that can lessen anxieties
that can lead to depression. Some Toronto
Maple Leaf fans have been observed
eating the stuff by the handfull.
These are just a few of the common stew
ingredients that can give you a little push
down the road to a healthier life. Others in-
clude the of apple cider vinegar and honey
trick. Documented to cure everything
from insomnia to poor circulation, a
tablespoon of the mixture twice a day ap-
pears to be a miracle of folk medicine.
Please keep in mind that that I am mak-
ing no claims here. I'm not a doctor and
except for trying apple cider vinegar once
(it tastes terrible), I don't know enough
about folk medicine to be called an expert.
On the other hand, if garlic cures your
arthritis, remember, you heard it here
first.
Have a good week.
P.S. My granny once told me that there are
two ways to cure the common cold. With
medicine and without. Without medicine
takes seven days...with treatment takes a
week. •

Fraser Paterson is Home-Lucknow has
another returned and, for the present,
disabled soldier in Pte. Fraser Paterson
who arrived home last Thursday. Fraser
had the experience of being buried alive
and being dug out again. He was not
wounded by the shell which buried himself
and two comrades, but he was severly
crushed by the weight of the earth and for
many weeks was unable to walk.
This incident happened on November 3
when the Canadians were on the west side
of Vimy Ridge. A German shell dropped
near where Pte. Paterson and two com-
rades were standing, making an excava-
tion about ten feet deep. The three slid into
the hole with the loose earth and were
buried when the earth settled back. For-
tunately, one fellow had his head above
ground and was able to yell for help, which
soon arrived. Fraser was the only one of
the trio to survive.
Pte. Paterson expects to make a trip to
the Military Hospital in London in the near
future for additional treatment.

Meeting Friday for By -Law -A well at-
tended meeting held Friday evening in
SENTINEL
connection with the proposed arena con-
cluded with the following motion being ap-
proved without a dissenting vote: "Moved
by Robert Rae and seconded by Temple
Clarke that the Village submit a by-law at
the earliest possible date for seven thou-
sand dollars for the purpose of building a
community hall and arena in Lucknow."
From the figures available there is
every indication that such a building can
be erected and completed this fall with a
$7,000 issue and the meeting was agreed
this was the soundest policy upon which to
proceed with the undertaking.
Minister of Agriculture Visits -The
Minister of Agriculture for Northern
Ireland, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Megaw, were
guests in Lucknow at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. W. B. Anderson this week.
While here, Mr. Megaw made a tour of
inspection of the flax fields of Mr. Ander-
son having previously visited fields at
Seaforth, Mitchell and Tavistock. The
Minister was very favorably impressed by
the excellent yield and quality of the crops:

Police Question -There was just a
quorum at the August meeting of the
Village Council on Tuesday evening with
-two councillors unavoidably absent.
August 13 has been set as the dealine for
the return of the questionnaire expressing
a 'yes' or 'no' opinion on the engaging of a
local police officer.
Clerk E. H. Agnew reported that approx-
imately 60 per cent of the ballots have been
returned to date and that ratepayers who
have not already done so are urged to
make their return.
Council referred to the traffic survey
that was recently made and pointed to the
fact that parking and truck unloading
could not be properly enforced without a
police officer.
Council Passes Liquor Vote -The by-law
paving the way for a liquor store in
Lucknow was passed at the August
meeting of council. Prior to passing the by-
law, a letter was read from the Sessions of
the Presbyterian and United Churches
protesting the action of initiating a vote on
the matter.
It was under the Ontario Temperance
Act that a by-law was supported half a cen-
tury ago "prohibiting the retail sale of
spirits in the Village". Ratepayers will
vote on the question in October.

ply a D740 motor grader at a cost of

augurated on August 4 under the Ministry
of Housing's plan to decentralize assisted
housing management to a local level.
