THE FOOD BASKET Farmers received less than half the retail value of the groceries in the OFA's March Food Basket. They got $48.20 for every $100 consumers spent on the 46 -item basket. The farm -gate equivalent for the March Food Basket was down 43 cents or 1.8 percent from February. This is an improvement over last year, when the farm -gate equivalent was 61 cents or 2.6 percent lower. Consumers did well last month. The retail price of the Food Basket was down 18 cents from February. largely due to a 14 -cent dip in the cost of dairy products. The 5 -cent decline in the cost of chicken helped too. The retail value of the Food Basket is up $2.36 or five per- cent from a year ago. Sometimes, pride is a very good thing When Gregory the Great drew up his list of the seven deadly sins, in the 6th century A.D., he placed 'pride' at the very top. Of course, he meant that arrogant characteristic that makes some people feel they are superior to everyone else, those who have an undue high opinion of their qualities and accomplishments. he was right; that kind of pride can cause endless trouble and pain. There is another meaning to the word, however, which is good and which our society could not function without. It is the kind of pride that prevents us from doing un- worthy things. We tell our children to take pride in themselves and in their work...not that we want them to feel exalted about their abilities but that they should never want to let themselves or others down. Truly proud people cannot break promises or turn out shoddy work because their pride will not permit them going back on their word or doing a poor job, if they can help it. It's related to honesty....a good day's work for a good day's pay. Pride of workmanship is not confined to those working in the crafts. It can flourish in' homes, in offices, factories and schools, and has less to do with the nature of the job than with the care and effort that goes into it. A housewife who keeps an immaculate home can take as much pride in her work as the most highly skill- ed artisan ....and so she should. Doing a job well generates religion or race is a real reason to be proud. Esteem (not arrogance) for one's ancestors can be a cern- menting force that helps us understand who we are. Sometimes, articles passed down from one generation to the other can very tangibly It seems to me... by Gwyn Whilsmith a glow of pride. On the other hand, what an emotional let- down it is to turn out work you know is not as good as it should be. It's interesting that when people lose their pride, the next thing to go, is usual- ly their appearance. The skid row and red light districts of this world are full of people who have lost their sense of personal pride, their self- respect. Being born into a certain family, community, religion or race is not in itself anything to be proud of, but furthering the best interests of a family, community, A&H ASSORTED FLAVOURS SUPER MOIST BETTY CROCKER CAKE MIXES 510 G BOX .99 SAVE 1.10 250 G BONUS YORK PEANUT BUTTER SMOOTH OR CRUNCHY 1 KG JAR 2 59 link us up with those persons in our past, who, to a large ex- tent, are responsible for what and where we are today. You may tell your children how their great -great -great grandmother left her family in the old country to sail across the ocean to help hew out a new home in this untani - ed country. But their sense of family pride can be further instilled if you can show them the blanket box that was built by her father, whose heart must have been breaking at the knowledge he would never see her again. The carefully dovetailed corners, the beautifully fashioned drawers speak of his love for her, and your children will pick up a sense of what kind of courageous, strong people went before them. When one of our children was a teenager and hotly disagreeing with our limits and guidelines for her actions, the worst name she could think to call us was Puritans!' "You're right," we'd answer. "There are a few hundred years of Puritan blood flowing through our veins, and whether you like it or not, it's flowing through yours, too."
