Manufacturer recalls
popcorn makers
Owners of "Pop Pop
Porpcorn" makers should
stop using them immediately
because of a potential fire
hazard, according to the
manufacturer, Charlescraft
Corporation, and CSA.
Bob White, GSA's manager
of Audits and Investigations
says investigations by his
group and Charlescraft
revealed a potential fire
hazard if the popping
chamber becomes jammed.
CSA received four com-
plaints of these appliances
igniting. All of the fires were
confined to the product. No
injuries were reported.
The hot air corn poppers
being recalled will bear the
following marking:
Model MP -1 "POP POP
POPCORN MACHINE"
The manufacturer is
requesting the units to be
returned prepaid to the
following address for a
minor modification. Once
modified, they will be
returned prepaid directly to
the customer.
Charlescraft Corporation•
Ltd.,
127 Brockhouse Road.
Toronto, Ontario,
M8W 2X1
"The manufacturer is not
under any legal obligation to
take this action," says Mr.
White. "We are pleased that
Charlescraft is acting
responsibly and providing
this service to consumers."
Modified units will have
"R" marked on the base of
the cornpopper. This letter
should not be confused with
the circled "R" beside the
CSA mark. The -reworked
units will bear "R" on the
lower left hand side of the
nameplate.

AREA SOIL AND CROP DIRECTORS — A directors meeting of the Huron Soil cool Cron.
Improvement Association was held Friday in Clinton. Shown during the disctla.iorr ore John
Oke, Usborne; Ray Hartman, Stephen and Art Bolton, McKillop. T A photo
The snowthrower hit the
manure a couple of weeks
ago.
This reporter wrote a
column about farm wives
literally taking a beating in
the back forty. The column
suggested that tough times,
high interest rates, low
returns and the fear of
bankruptcy had turned some
farmers into • wife -beaters
and child -abusers.
1 thought farmers had
given up writing letters to
newspapers. ,
No way. The mailbox was
burdened with irate letters
suggesting that I had fallen
out of my tree for mentioning
that 'life for some farm
families can be lonely and
terrifying. ;
Apparently, a few dozen
people in the areas where
this ' deathless prose is
printed thought I was in-
cluding every farmer. The
column, the letter -writers
said, intimated that every
farmer beat his wife and
kicked his kids.
Now, I am really sorry if I
left that impression. It is
simply not true. What the.

column suggested, perhaps
too vaguely if the • letters
received are a yardstick,
was that it is more difficult
fora farm wife and family to
get help than it is for a city
wife. That is all; nothing
else.
It was not meant to
suggest that every farmer in
Canada is a wife -beater just
because he is a farmer. It
was written only to suggest
that if such things do happen
in the country, it is more
difficult for a farm wife to
get help.
To suggest, as one or two
• letters did, that all farmers
are upright and would never
resort to such tactics to vent
their frustrations and anger
would be hiding your head in
the sand. One letter writer
said he had lived in the
country all his life and had
never heard of a farmer
taking out his anger in a
brutual manner. That may
\be true for some people but it
is simply not true throughout
the country as a whole.
Some farmers do. And I
would be the first person to
suggest that, on a per capita
basis, fewer farmers resort
to such tactics than
any other segment, of the
population. I believemore
farmers are law-abiding
citizens than most other
areas of endeavor. I have
lived and worked with them
all my life and have found
them to•be sincere, honest
and gentle people with a
reverence for life and the
land that ' is not found
anywhere else.
But there are a few rotten
apples. Whether those fine
people who wrote such in-
dignant letters want to
believe it or not, it is still
more difficult for a farm
wife, isolated from town, to
get assistance when it is
needed.
To suggest that every
person engaged in
agriculture is perfect is to.
hide from the truth.
Take a look at what
happened a few weeks ago
when a group of farmers
donned masks and held
shotguns and rifles and even
managed to con a big -city
newspaper . photographer
into using their picture in the
paper. Farmers have
recently participated in
quite a few acts of in-
timidation. They have acted
os rabble-rouser's - and
vigilantes.
To quote a letter published
recently • in Farm and
Country magazine will
underscore my point: "As a
farmer I am fully aware of
agriculture's precarious
economic situation, but
intimidation, threats and
violence are the wrong way
to correct the sitw<Sation."
Amen to that.
Because of the great in-
terest in tax management,
preregistration is essential
to ensure accommodation at
this event.
