One sad and lonely year has passed, Since that great sorrow fell. The shock that I received that day, No one can ever tell. Your end carne sad and sudden No time to say good-bye. You were gone before I knew lt, Only God knows the reason why, A golden heart stopped beating Two working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me, he only takes the best. I cannot forget your smiling face; the smile that won so many friends. So this month comes with deep regret; for it brings back a day I cannot forget. You left so sudden without a farewell; but memories of you will never die. - Sadly missed by husband, Milne. 30-p IN STOCK FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS SHRUBS UPRIGHT & SPREADING ALSO Patio Blocks & Sidewalk Slabs Huron - Ridge Acres DAVID STECKLE & FAMILY R.R.2 ZURICH,• 565-2122 Call ahead to be sure we are here to serve you. TED VOOGEL AND SONS BUILDING CONTRACTOR FRAMING Houses & Cottages *Renovations* CUSTOM BUILT Homes Free Estimates! DASHWOOD R.R.1 PH. 238-2742 ED Those people who are down on Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan for his statements that Canadian food prices are a bargain had better do some research before offering critic- ism. Food prices anywhere in the world are higher than in North America. Of course this is small consol- ation for those on low incomes. But the fact remains. It appears from here that great many low- er income families have the same problem as those on high incomes, they often have their priorities wrong. What should come first, food or recreation? It seems that in many cases recreation comes first, or the case of beer. It makes me tired when I see an interview on TV with a color - set in the background of a room with small children around and a woman whose husband left her crying that she can't feed the children properly. I believe everything she says, but the problem lies not with high food costs. It lies with low income, coupled with a lack of manage- ment skill. Usually this woman looks fat, probably because of a wrong diet, such as potato chips and soft drinks. One can ask: "Why shouldnt the poor have a right to a bottle of pop?" And I can ask "Why shouldn't it be a cool -aid type of drink or a glass of cold milk?" If the income is too low to buy nourishing food, the income problem should be remedied. If household management is at fault, this should be corrected. If priorities are wrong social advisers should advise them. But Whelan is right, food in Canada is the greatest bargain in the world. Not only that it costs less here than anywhere else but it also takes a lower percentage of our income. In most countries it takes over fifty percent of their income for food while here it hovers around the 200/0 mark. Let's be grateful and accept the probability that for the time being our standard of living will not further increase. The only way I can see to keep some of the cost of eating down, is to prepare more food at home. The cost of labour in restaurants is going up, together with the cost of labour in packing houses and retail stores, as well as the cost to the farmer. If subsidy is the answer, we farmers don't want it. We want a fair return for our product. Maybe labout in other parts of the food chain should be subsid- ized. Cooling Systems No one pours gasoline in his radiator, but a car's cooling system can be re- sponsible for reducing gas- oline mileage. So can other car parts that seemingly have no connection with fuel consumption. Since the condition of the cooling system affects en- gine performance, abnor- malities in cooling temper- atures curtail gasoline mile- age. A faulty thermostat,. causing an engine to run too cool, creates a condition where more gas is needed to maintain power. An over- heating engine also ham- pers efficient combustion of fuel. —..
