Zurich Citizens News, 1974-11-21, Page 12THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1974 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS Agri -notes {By Adrian Vag) Will we have h. rotten banana scandal next? Someone said at a meeting I attended, that ever week as many trailer loads of bananas spoil in Montreal alone as trailerloads of eggs spoiled in a whole year. However, since no marketing agency of farmers is involved, I doubt if we will see anything about it in the papers. Why does every vegetable grower have to dump tons of carrots every year? Because the consumer refuses to buy them if they are not straight and slender. In the meantime our taxes are spent to investig- ate the loss of three trailer loads of eggs, so Beryl Plurntre can keep her $40, 000 job and the opposition parties, plus a disgruntled ex -cabinet minister can have their field day. Quebec is planning legislat- ion to prevent first class farm- land from being taken out of production, Ontario is still contemplating such a move. B.C. has done so already and Saskatchewan is drafting such legislation now. It is heartening to see that non-farm people at last are beginning to realize that our grandchildren should have something to eat also. In the meantime officials of the Ont- ario government are trying to buy class one farmland, one hundred acres of it, for a lag- oon for the Blyth sewage system Whereas Blyth has a populat- ion of less than one thousand, it seems that ten acres will be needed for each man, wom- an and child in the province. Does Toronto use this much sewage disposal space? I think not, for then most of Ontario would be one big lagoon. The question is, what is more imp- ortant, some extra money out- lay for a treatment plant or permanently destroying food producing land. Queens Park must be one confused bunch of bureaucrats? Some American farmers, whc killed their calves some weeks ago, have taken a different tack. They organized a packing plant, truckers and other trans- porters, and donated their money losing claves for food aid in hurricane stricken Hond- uras. Trucking and processing was done free of charge. 50 Years Ago Mr. Louis Schilbe has rec- ently purchased the Apple Block with the intentions of running a flour and feed store. Mr. Carl McClinchey be - carne entangled in his steam threshing machine and was fortunate not to receive any injuries. Mr. Fred Haberer, of the Blind Line, was pinned between the manure spreader and a gate when his team ran away. He is now confined to his bed with bruised legs but fortunat- ely, no bones were broken. 35 Years Ago A shower was held at the home of Mr, and Mrs. S. Wither, of the Babylon Line, in honor of Miss Olive Witmer, bride -elect. A Red Cross group was organ- ized in Dashwood with Mrs. Louis Morenz as president. Another was formed in Zurich with Ivlr. E.M. Dagg, president Mr. Fred Beer fractured one leg and injured the other when the car he was cranking lunged forward and pinned him against the wall. 25 Years Ago Miss Betty Mickle, Miss Anita Datars, Frances Taylor, Bill Mickle and E.L. Mickle attended the Western -Queen's rugby game in London, Satur- day. Two Dashwood men escaped from a blazing auto on High- way 83 about a mile west of Exeter. Ervin Devine and Roy Morenz barely escaped when the car was a mass of flames. Leroy O'Brien, Herb Mouss- eau, Jim Parkins, Ken Breakey, Leonard Prang, Harvey Claus- ius, Lloyd O'Brien, Ivan and Earl Yungblut, Lennis O'Brien, Harrison and Melvin Schoch, Gordon Surerus, Zurich; Bruce Eagleson, Grand Bend, and Glenn Deitz, Hensall, are all enjoying a two week hunting trip in the north woods.
