DOLLS FROM HAWAII - Mrs. Harry Fuss, of Hensall, received an interesting parcel last week
when her daughter Margaret, a Registered Nurse in Hawaii, sent he an assortment of seven dolls.
Miss Fuss made the entire group of dolls herself, and they are all decked out in typical southern
costume, each one slightly different from rhe others.

For those consumers who
think that the park producers
will be paid $37.50 by the
Canadian taxpayer, for each
hog marketed, and who resent
this, I have some news. From
this amount of money will be
subtracted the cost of a weaner
pig and the cost of feed, leav-
Obituary
MRS. LEE HOFFMAN
A life-long resident of the
Zurich area, Mrs. Lee Hoffman,
passed away in South Huron
Hospital, Exeter, on Wednes-
day, May 29, 1974. She was
in her 84th year.
Born on December 9, 1890,
she was the daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. William
Lamont. Her husband predec-
eased her some time ago.
Surviving is one daughter
Mrs. Harvey (Marjorie) Pfaff,
of St. Marys; one sister, Miss
Jane Lamont, Zurich and two
grandchildren, Mrs. Doug Hall-
iday, of Guelph and Larry, of
Toronto. A sister, Mrs, Marg-
aret Braun and a brother, Roy
Lamont, predeceased her.
The body rested at the West-
lake Funeral Home, Zurich
until Friday, May 31, where
funeral service took place at
2 p.m. with Rev.Bruce Guy
and Rev. John Huether officiat-
ing. Interment in the Emman-
uel United Church Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Don O'Brien,
Bill Braun, Allen Braun, Mel-
vin Elliott, Campbell McKinley,
and Art Pfaff.
ing the pork producer with a
loss of between 10 and fifteen
dollars per hog.
The effect of this stabilizat-
ion program is good in this
sense, thar for the first time a
stabilization program takes some
of the imput costs in consider-
ation. All it does now is an
assurance to the producer that he
won't lose more than that
amount per hog shipped. It
doesn't seem likely that any
payment will be made to anyone
The manner in which it was
announced left the impression
with the public that the prod-
ucer is guaranteed a profit bur
he is only guaranteed a max-
imum to his losses.
The editor of the London
Free Press joined the Consum-
ers Associations, Mrs. Marion
Brechin in asking that farmers
let consumers representatives
sit on their selling organizations,
If that is the case then we as
newspaper customers should
have a voice in the pricing and
selling of the Free Press. After
all what is sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander.
"Farmers never had it so
good, " bas been stated and
generally that is true. However,
the average income of Ontario's
farmer in 1972 was $5,000.
This then means that even if
he never lead it so good, his
average income is still only
half that of organized labour.
Labour has practically no invest-
ment while farm investment is
a minimum of $100, 000.
Why do we do it? A variety
of reasons, from liking the way
of country life, to that we are

inveterate gamblers.
Do you have trouble with
flies? Give them beer.
Saskatchewan's department of
Agriculture recommends Mix
one bottle with a gallon of
water, 5 lbs of brown sugar
and 2 ounces of vapon (dich-
lorvos). Fifes are attracted by
the beer, they say, ear the
sugar and are killed by the
insecticide. Paint on plywood
and hang upside down high
enough so your animals can't
reach it.
T
Biennials
"Many of the prettiest flow-
ers are not the annuals we plant
each year, but the biennials
such as Sweet William, Canter-
bury Bells, Foxglove and Holly-
hock, " points out R.A, Flem-
ing, a horticulturist with the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food.
The seed for most biennial
plants can be sown any time
from mid-May through June
and early July, and normally
take two years to mature to
flowering -size plants. Plant the
PAGE 15
seeds in garden beds or indoors
in flats containing a mixture
of soil and peat moss. The
young plants produced can be
transplanted in September to
where they are to bloom in next
year's garden.
"It's true that these delight-
ful plants require a little more
work than our annuals or peren-
nials, " Mr. Fleming says.
"But a low border of colorful
Sweet William or a group of
Canterbury Bells or Foxgloves
or the tall, stately spikes of a
few brightly -colored holly-
hocks will make the extra
trouble all worthwhile."
