They paid $49.45 for the 46 -item Food Basket this month, an increase of $1.11 over the January price and 2.84 or 6.1 percent more than a year ago. While retail prices increas- ed sharply, the farmers' share showed only a slight im- provement. Farmers receiv- ed $48.92 for every $100 con- sumers spent on the items in the OFA Food Basket, up eight cents from their share in January of $48.84. However, February was the eighth month in a row that farmers received less than half of -the retail price for the jock, they grow. The increase in fluid milk prices was the major con- tributor to higher food prices ells month. The retail price of milk rose t0 cents per litre, but farmers only received three cents per litre more. Highlights of the food basket include: Beef prices rose two cents per pound at the retail level; farmers received a one cent per pound increase. Pork prices rose three cents per pound retail, while the farm -gate equivalent rose eight cents per pound. Chicken increased five cents per pound in retail stores with no increase to the farmer. Turkey prices re- mained unchanged. Egg prices did not change at the retaillevel, but dropped one cent per dozen at the farm -gate. Dairy products in- creased 85 cents at the retail level and 30 cents at the farm - gate. Higher milk, cream, butter and most cheese prices were responsible for the in- crease. Grain prices dropped at the retail level due to price specials on flour. The WEIGHT WATCHERS PUTS THE "QUICK" INTO SAFE WEIGHT LOSS WITH OUR NEW QUICK START PROGRAM.

Processed fruits and vegetables rose in retail stores but the farm,share re- mained unchanged. While most food baskets calculate changes in store prices, the OFA goes one step further. It also shows changes in the Ontario farmers' share of the retail food dollar. Because of problems in calculating the farmers' share of processed foods, and since some products are trot grown in Ontario, the Food Basket does not include a complete range of food pro- ducts. It is estimated that the OFA Food Basket includes about 55 percent of the week- ly food 'purchases of an average family of four. Many events for auxiliary The Ladies Auxiliary to the R.E.

Several mambers caught the late train home, most stayed overnight before returning to Exeter on Sunday afternoon. A vote of thanks for a great weekend to the Social Committee. Henry Van Dyke once wrote that 'Moving Day' is go- ing on all our lives..."from house to house we move," he says, "from youth to age, from opinion to opinion:' True. Once man settled for a flat, stationary earth with a vault of heaven a few miles above until, suddenly, the flat earth rounded out into a sphere that went spinning through space, and that was the day God Hipped the minds of all the world out of bed. When humankind began its probe into outer space, there came another cry to 'Move' on!' Be that as it may, we still love the settled ways, the customary...we like to put our minds to bed and tuck them in. But often, in our own per- sonal lives, and in the pur- poses of the world too, we must move on, even though it be a painful experience. 1 have a new neighbour. She, her husband and family moved to Ontario from England in the middle of one of the coldest winters we've had for years. She was sure she was prepared for this big venture but now, she finds she is not, and is experiencing heartsick, lonely misery. With tears welling in her eyes she says, "For the first time, I understand how my mother Moving is painful felt when my father died...it's as if everything is gone." 1 know a little about what she feels. When we 111.. five years ago, we were filleo with glad anticipation about our new location. But when the excitement died down, the pain of transition began to Neither were there any rip- ples when we moved into this n. HvhtlV knit community.

It seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith overtake us. We had sent down deep roots, and expend- ed quantities of energy and what talent we had in the community where we lived for 35 years. The roots, though deep, began to wither and die. Some days, I felt I was viewing something akin to my own death. We were close enough to our old place to look back and see things were going along marvellously without us, and while we hadn't ex- pected the world to tilt on its axis when we moved away, still, it was painful to see that our leaving caused so little stir. Morning after morning 1 woke with the cry, "What in the world am I doing here?" We were in limbo...belong- ing to neither place. It was painful, lonely and very humbling. There were times when I doubted the worth of my existence. But as Nietzche has said, "Only where there are graves are there resurrections" and I learned that if moving was a kind of painful death, it could be followed by resurrec- tion. Moving insists you come alive and draw on resources you may have neglected before. You have to go out and dig a place for yourself in the new community and prove your worth. It's a challenge to make new friendships,, to ex- perience new adventures. Of course 'home' is where the heart is, where we're hap- piest. There was once a little boy whose armed forces father was moved to another station, and the family, unable to locate living quarters, were making do in a bleak motel. "I'm sorry you're having such a hard time finding a home," a visitor sympathized. To which the little boy quickly replied, "Oh, we've got a home, we just can't find some place to put it." Yes moving presents many difficulties. We leave the dear and familar behind, and have trouble transplanting ourselves. We have to bend, to accept new ideas and ways, to risk going out on our own to make new friends and in- terests. But it seems to me it's very much worth it when finally, one exhilarating mor- ning, we wake up and ex- claim, "I'm home!" Taper down...
