Zurich Citizens News, 1971-09-16, Page 5tf THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. 1971 Huron MP talks on delay. in dairy cheques (by R; E. McKinley, MP)' There has been great concern among milk and cream produc- ers regarding the delay in the Canadian Dairy Commission cheques being issued in a reas- onable time following shipment. The Minister of Agriculture made a statement in the House of Commons last Thursday after a question I asked on the open- ing day of the reconvening of the session, to the effect that: The last of the final payments for the 1970-71 year went to the Post Office on July 8. There was a consequential delay in starting payments for the 1971-72 year, beginning with deliveries in the month of April. Subsidy cheques for April manufacturing milk deliveries went to the Post Office on Aug- ust 20 and for June deliveries on September 3. The subsidy payments for those three months, therefore, went out within a one-month period. Starting with July, payments will be back on the regular schedule. Those for manufactur- ing milk should go to the Post Office by September 13 and for cream by September 17. Some enquiries which honour- able Members may have re- ceived may have had to do with payments to Ontario fluid milk shippers, or better known as those on graduated entry. The basis of calculating subsidy eligibility for this group has been changed, partly to con- form with the market quota program, in a way which will simplify the arrangement for them. This, however, involved extensive calculations and prog- ramming which could not be started until the final data for last year had been finished, and which delayed starting payments for this year. However, the April subsidy cheques for Ontario fluid milk shippers should have gone to the Post Office on September 10. Barring any unforseen problems those for May should go to the Post Office by Sept- ember 15, for June by September 18 and for July by September 24. If, after allowing a reasonable period of time for delivery of these subsidy cheques, producers have not received them, . they should make inquiries either of the Dairy Commission or myself. 0 The messenger • "I was going to deliver a death message," said the driver 'of a truck to a Virginia state trooper who arrested him for going 84 mph in a 60 mph zone. DICK and DAVE'S PLUMBING and ELECTRICAL Dick Rau ]Dave Durand 236-4607 565.5281 "Service that Satisfies" ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS roni my window Do you realize that we are raising an entirely new generat- ion of people with an entirely new approach to living? Do you really understand what that means to us? It just came to me that other day that my three children have never known war. Thdy have not known adversity. They have not lived in a time when man wasn't going to the moon, They have never had to be ill without the benefit of penicillin or other antibotics. They've never had to wait for anything. Everything, is instant this and immediately that. I became most aware of this fact recently when I was on a picture -taking outing with my young son. Everytime I snapped the shutter on my camera he would race over to me and ask to see the picture. I would tell him the pictufes were on the film and would not be visible until much later when the film was developed. "When are you going to take the film out of the camera?" my son asked me with those trusting blue eyes peering up at me. "Just as soon as I take the last picture, " I told him. With every snap after that, my son was at my side. "Is that the last picture?" he wanted to know time and time again. When I finally did take the last picture, my son waited with eyes just popping to see the film taken from the camera. When I lifted it out he was disappointed. "Where's my picture?" he asked, almost unable to believe that my camera had not accomp- lished the miracle he expected. "It's inside this film, " I told him again. "Now I have to send the film away to be developed - to have the pictures made. " My youngest son shrugged his .shoulders in a I -guess -that's - that attitude. I'm certain he doesn't really believe he will ever see those pictures because he's been raised in a polaroid BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER era when pictures are instant. There's absolutely no waiting involved. I've noted the same sort of thing when I go out on camera assignments for the newspaper. When you're working with child- ren, they will stand with silly grins on their faces until the picture is snapped and then they will rush toward you like a herd of elephants to watch the pict- ure emerge from the camera. Then when you don't produce it they look at you with an ele- ment of doubt, as though you're really not much of a photograph- er at all. The same sort of thing happens with food. Take that wonderful popcorn you can buy which simply needs to be placed over an element and heated. Like magic, a huge bubble forms in the foil covering and in literally seconds, you have all the perf- ectly white and uniformly pop- ped corn you can eat in an even- ing. Just try to substitute that pop- corn with the regular stuff pack- aged in bulk at the grocery store. The kids wonder what old-fash- ioned gimmick you're pulling this time and deplore the prob- lem they will have to get out Syrup men to visit area The annual convention of the Ontario Maple Syrup Association will be held in late September in the Dashwood and Grand Bend areas. More than 150 members of the association will be billetted in motels and hotels in the Grand Bend area with convention headquarters located at the Bonnie Doon. The convention will get un- derway on September 30 and will conclude October 2 with a banquet • at the Dashwood Community Centre. This year marks the first time the convention has been held in this part of Western Ontario. the heavy iron pot, add the messy oil, shake the kettle and wait and wait for popcorn which may not be all that great after all that. Can you just imagine their horror if you'd present them with popcorn the way we used to get it - on the cob and needing to be removed before any popping action would begin? My daughter who is in her early teens decided she wanted to lighten her hair just a bit. The summer sun had bleached it out and she wanted to keep it that way for the winter months. PAGE 5 I advised her to use lemon juice. That's a time-honored, safe and dependable bleaching agent I told her. It was just the thing for a young lady who does not have the money to go to the hairdresser to have her hair stripped and toned. "How long will it take, " she asked, ready to buy two dozen lemons if need be. When she learned it would probably take several applicat- ions to have much effect, she scrapped the idea. She'd rather have dark tresses than wait for results.
