Plans made for
dairy cattle day
at Centralia
June is Dairy month. Start it
off right by attending Dairy
Cattle Day at Centralia College,
on Friday, June 1. An interesting
and informative program for
dairy farmers and their wives is
planned.
If you are considering free
stall housing for your cattle,
you'll be interested in talking
to Harold Clapp, Dairy Cattle
Specialist from Guelph. Harold
is discussing this topic on the
morning program and has some
good ideas for making a free
stall barn work well. Also during
the morning, John Core, Ridge -
town College and Ross Marshall,
a well known dairy farmer from
Kirkton will be discussing how a
dairy farmer_ can find and keep
good farm labour.
Protein supplements for a
dairy herd can cost a lot of
money. Bob Lang. dairy cattle
specialist from London, will be
illustrating ways of reducing
costs while still supplying en-
ough protein. Farmers can also
spend a lot of money on dairy
mineral. What minerals do dairy
cattle need? Is an expensive
mineral needed? Dr. W. D. Mor-
rison from the Department of
Animal and Poultry Science,
University of Guelph has the
answers to these questions.
Fieldmen from the Ontario
Milk Marketing Board, the Ont-
ario Milk Commission, the Hol-
stein -Friesian Association and
dairy cattle specialists will be
at Dairy Cattle Day to provide
information and help with your
problems.
A special program of interest
to the ladies is planned fos the
afternoon. Mrs. Aileen Bucknam
who has had a great deal of exp-
erience with the Ontario Milk
Foundation will discuss the facts
and fallacies about health foods
with major emphasis on dairy
products. The changing role of
the consumer is the topic for Mis:
Marjorie Harris, of Burlington.

I'm not a scholar of current
events. A t the best of times,
I'm not much more than an
ordinary housewife thrown into
a weekly newspaper job. I may
know my local community and
I may know a little about week-
ly newspapering, but it is a
cinch I don't know much about
world affairs.
In recent weeks, I've been
listening along with everyone
else to the Great American
Scandal, the Watergate Affair.
I've watched as some of the
USA's most influential govern-
ment types have been dismissed
or replaced upon retirement.
I've heard the charges and the
countercharges. I've waited and
waited for the impeachment of
President Nixon.
And do you know, for the life
df me I can't imagine what
everyone is so outraged about!
What if Nixon did know that
the opposition's inner sanctum
was bugged? What if Nixon
himself bad ordered it? What if
he'd helped plant the equipment'
So What?
Maybe that's the wrong attit-
ude. Maybe I should be like
everyone else and be shocked
and revolted at the thought of
such skulldugery in high places,
Maybe I should cry out for Nix-
on's scalp on the nation's belt.
But I can't understand why.
I know enough about politics
to surmise that the only mist-
ake Nixon and his supporters
made was to be found out. I'm
not so naive as to believe such
things have never gone on be-
fore Watergate!
You think I'm taking this too
lightly. You may be right, But
that old saying that "All's fair
in love and war" has been am-
ended in recent years to read
"love and politics"... and I can
understand why.
The politics I know best is
municipal politics and the long-
er I'm involved with that racket
the more convinced I become
that the politics of a nation
must be rotten to the core. I'm
not blaming the politicians,
goodness knows. Dishonesty and
underhandedness are an occup-
ational hazard of politicians,
big and small.
Take any local municipality
you care to focus your sites on.
Think of the reeve or the mayor,
If you can, remember back to
when he or she first entered pol-
itics. I'm willing to wager you

will have to admit that consid-
erable change has taken place
in that person... and not all of
it for the better.
Think back to the last elect-
ion in your area. Do you rem-
ember how the opposing candid-
ates tried to anticipate each
other's action, get information
about each other's intentions,
dog each other's footsteps,
block each other's campaign
with suggestive reports and may-
be even outright lies? Do you
recall how sorne of the more
vocal and open supporters would
leave their own personal lives
behind them for the duration of
a campaign and become like
living, breathing secret agents
smelling out all kinds of gossip
and using it, though super subtly
to raise doubt about the other
side?
And do you recall those sick-
ening pre-election speeches and
advertisements? Do you rememb
er the candidates promising the
skies and pulling every possible
string to deliver by election
eve? Can you forget how you
were wooed and wangled until
you felt something like a mind-
less idiot about to flip a coin
for the life or death verdict?
And what about election night
when a victor finally was named
Do you remember the bitterness
of the losing side and the cut-
ting sneers of.the conquerers?
Well friends, that's politics.
That's the kind of dog-eat-dog
life one accepts when one gets
into politics. You are either
riding high or bringing up the
rear. You're either a hero or a
hasbeen. You're either hailed or
hung. You may get to the top,
but you are never so safe or so
secure you don't have to be look
ing over your shoulder for those
mad, crazy dogs at your heels.
President Richard Nixon is
the most powerful man in the
world, some say. To believe
Drugs spoil
foreign vacation
If you travel abroad, do not
get involved with drugs, warns
Consumers' Association of Can-
ada. Being a Canadian citizen
means very little in a foreign
country. As a tourist, you are
subject to the laws and tradit-
ions of the country you are visit-
ing. Canadians convicted of
drug possession or traffioking
must suffer the consequences in
that country. CAC national

that he or any other man of his
influence got to the pinnacle
without scheming and plotting,
without biting and scratching,
without pain and persecution,
is to believe in Santa Claus.
So what's so surprising that
Nixon may be a bit of a louse.
He's a politician... and obvious-
ly a good one. He's not suppos-
ed to be Saint, now is he?
