Agri -notes
(By Adrian Vos)
Was just reading some of the
price forecasts from the end of
January. The prediction of the
crystal ball gazers was then for
60¢ to 55¢ per pound of pork
and one was even so pessimistic
as to predict as low as 450,
while here we are hovering ar-
ound the 40¢ level. Now is the
time to fill your freezer folks.
The Ontario Pork Institute,
which is mainly funded by the
Pork Board, has begun a camp-
aign to shore up sales of pork.
They stress the new pork, mean-
ing the lower fat content, lower
calorie content and the higher
protein. Pork is the best buy of
any meat right now. So watch
for those posters and recipes.
In his rural route letter in
"Country Guide, " Pete Williams
has a very sane letter. It tells
us of a leading economist who
shows us how to increase our st-
andard of living. Pete says:
"Who says we have to increase
our standard of living? Right now,
I'd say there is something a little
indecent about a call for an
increased standard of living in
this country, when two-thirds
of the world's people are inad-
equately fed, clothed and shelt-
ered.
He goes on to ask if we should
have more cars per family, or
two plates of food instead of one
so we'll have fatter bellies and
behinds. We demand snowmob-
iles and outboards and soon may-
be it won't be a luxury to own
an air -cushion vehicle. 1<eep
going Pete, but it won't do any
good because we are too greedy,
The traditional concept of
politicians promoting growth to
expand the tax base is archaic
and should be discontinued, said
Paul Steinberg of Woodstock.
It is time that the population
pressure of this part of Ontario
was shifted to other areas where
prime agricultural land would
not be sacrificed for concrete
and pavement. Amen, brother.
WOW!

The political optimists are
again sticking their neck out
and predict high prices for
wheat, corn, soybeans, etc.
I'm not so sure. The high prices
of last year induces every grow-
er to plant more. China had
better crops and cut imports
from the USA. Result will be
more American wheat on the
world markets which is bound
to bring down prices.
We will probably get the
same results as with high•meat
prices - over supply and follow-
ing lower prices. I suspect that
the political economists predict
high prices to encourage farmers
to oversupply.

One hundred and fifty students
of Colborne Central School
visited the Home on Friday
afternoon and presented an oper-
etta "The Pied Piper of Hame-
lin." The residents enjoyed this
performance very much, as it
took them back to their school
days when this story was in one
of their readers.
A great deal of credit is due
to the students and teachers for
this fine display of talent. Mrs.
McClure, a great grandmother
of one of the students, thanked
all those responsible for the
program on behalf of the resid-
ents.
The Bayfield volunteers assist-
ed with Monday's activities
with Mrs. Myrtle Parker joining
Norman Speir and Jerry Collins
to provide the music for the
afternoon.
The over 90 club met on Wed-
nesday afternoon and were ent-
ertained by three ladies from
Wingham. Mrs. McNaughton
gave three readings and joined
Mrs. Bosman with several vocal
duets accompanied at the piano
by Mrs. Goy. Following the
program tea anc cookies were
provided by the kitchen staff
assisted by a volunteer, Mi -s.
Luckham, of Clinton.
The music committee and the
young people of the Bayfield
Baptist Church provided the
program for "Family Night."
Mrs. Pearson thanked the group
on behalf of the residents for
the hour of singing and musical
numbers.
