I had the privilege of watching her with several ,hun- dred more of my peers, when she stood before. a large audience and delivered her address about the role of the: Pork Hostess. She received a standing ova- tion, at least as large as Federal Agricultural Minister Whelan got, and when he said later that in his view she is a queen even if her title is not, it was as if the au- dience said: `Amen," We can only hope that this year enough girls between the ages of 18 and 25 will compete for this honour, so that we can come up from Huron County with another girl of her calibre. Remember you non-farm girls, you ,can com- pete too, as long as you know about pork nutrition and recipes. 0 0 .0 On the cover of our. working papers at the Pork Producers' convention was a picture of two porkers. The one was dated 1973 with a price tag of $73, accom- panied by a prosperous looking farmer. The second was dated 1974 with the same $73 price tag; The companion however was dressed in rags. This very well demonstrated the difference in input prices the farmer has to shell out. Now the pork producer's income is doubly jeopardized, because not only the inputs went up, but the outputs went down in price. We remain hopeful that 'it will turn for the better though. If people ever eat the Canadian Redcoat dinner that was served to us on the first day, we know that they will return to this fare time and time again. It's gourmet stuff. It's better than any meat' that I've ever tasted before. It's better than just finger -licking good.

Ham ilton, this section of the eastern Caribbean island of Antigua was home to Britain's naval hero, Admiral Lord Nelson. The top of these two photos shows the ruins of British army barracks on Shirley Heights which overlooks English Harbor and Nelson's Dockyard, pictured below. It was while he was stationed \ here as a young captain that Nelson met, and in 1787 married Frances Nisbet, a widow from the nearby island of Nevis.`TOday, this area is Antigua's top touris,t attraction—after its scores of white sand beaches. Nelson's dockyard, now a marina and museum, was re- stored with the help of donations from interested Canadians, Americans and Britons.

GORDON GREEN Down in Simcoe, Ontario, an officer for 'the Humane Society went to the home of an old couple and" removed 41 dogs and tiro cats. According to the press dis- patch, ,there were other dogs ,oUt- side in a barn and these too were taken away. The papers than haVe seen carried very little in- forniation about the particulars of this seizure. There is no indication 'whether or not this old couple were in the businesi of raising dogs, in which case the number of animals would have a perfectly logical explanation; and we aren't told whether or not any municipal bylaw was violat- ed. Furthermore, so far as can discover, the Society found no cruelty to these dogs' Other than the fact that "all were suffering froM mange and internal para - It is to be hoped that the officer found some more serious reason than these for making his seizure. After all, all dogs have worms at some time or other. Most of them carry a few around for company all of the time. And a scratching dog isn't exactly cause for court action either. The full name of the Humane Society is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and as a farmer I have often had cause to' wonder just how well it is living up to that name. A couple of years ago my neighbor was visited by two officers from the Society and told that he would have to get his sheep sheared right away. (It was June, and being a busy man, my neighbor just hadn't got around to it, and some gentle do-gooder had reported that the sheep were thereby being sub- jected to cruelty.) Apparently the Society wasn't satisfied with the fact that the Good Shepherd Himself would, in due time, see to it that the sheep got rid of their winter underwear by shedding. I once had a call from the Humane Society myself because they had heard that was keepitiV my cattle outside all winter long. When I explained that my cattle were Galloways, with coats on tnem like bears, and that they had a shed they could go into if and when theY wanted, they de- cided to give me the benefit of the doubt and bothered me no more on the subject. That was twenty odd years ago and now all of the beef men in my part of the country do the same simply be- cause the cattle are better for it. Now don't get me wrong about this. I know that we have need for a Humane Society and we always will just so long as we have brutal and selfish men in the human race. But it does seem to me that far too often the Society over- looks the really big cruelties that are constantly being dealt to our animals. I go to the big horse shows whenever I can., and I still see as many steeds with butchered tails as there ever were. As a matter of fact two re years ago when I 'showed a big Percheron mare in the heavy draft class at an eastern show the judge alted me bluntly, as he placed me at the end of the line, "But you don't even have her tail t.# 'Ott '1114 Hurnaiie Society is very well aware of the fact that docking a horse's tail is usuall,y, extremely cruel: if done withiiiit an anaesthetic would probably cause as much pain as the amputation of a man's hand: that bleeding after the operation is often 'arrested by searing the wound with a red hot iron. And even if a tail were guillotined in the most humane way possible, the animal is still left at the mercy of summer flies. „ . Where, I ask, is the Humane 'Society when these mutilated horses are trotted into the ring at the Royal Winter Fair and else- where? And why don't they have something to say to the horsey set whieh still follows the tradition of 'breaking' a tail, or of cutting the muscles on the under side of it so that it will stick. up into the air like a flag? And why doesn't the Society have something to •say about the cute little practice of squirting a little ginger into a horse's rectum before he goes into the show ring just to smarten him up? Why is the Humane Society so quiet about the whipping which goes on in every race at every track in the land? After all, a horse race would be just as thrilling and just as fair if the whip were banned entirely. I say let the Humane Society clean up the cruelties which have so long been fashionable with the horsey set - the bridle rich I call them - and then, if they still have the time and energy, start worry- ing about whether a man has too many dogs on the place. Or whether said dogs are afflicted with the mange and stomach Lifter By RUTH STAFFORD PEALE Do you know how to treat an enemy ? Actually, have you ever learned how to get rid of an enemy, really to get back at him? The best of all ways is to turn that enemy into a friend. And it is so easily done. Just love him or her. You may think that is im- possible. But not so. Try it. It works.
