'TO APPEASE GOD'S WRATH' A deodand is an obsolete legal term for anything that had directly caused a person's death, as for example, a- sword or silver'cup containing poison. These articles, according to the old rule of the common' law of England, . were forfeited to the King, presumably 'to be devot- ed by him to pious uses — "to appease God's wrath" — though often finding a way to his privy purse. Deodands were abolish- ed in 1846, fortunately, for it would be rather difficult to for- feit, say, an exploded time- bomb, • Union Disci' ses Egg Marketing Plan Huron District Farmers' Un- ion, in a brief to the Farm Pro- ducts' Marketing Board, sets out the attitude of the 'Union on a proposed egg marketing scheme.- Over cheme.-Over the signatures of Edgar Rathwell, director, and Mrs. Thomas Govenlock, lady direc- tor, the Farmers' Union of Hur- on District endorses producer - controlled marketing by pro- vincial and national marketing boards. The brief is in these words: = "In Huron County, we have representation by Locals estab,' lished Seaforth, Iialmesville, Varna and Auburn of family type farmers. These locals form our Huron District Farm- ers' Union. As members of the Ontario Farmers' Union, we are also members of the Na- tional„ Farmers' Union, which is a dirdct dues paying member- ship organization. "As Farmers' Union members we support producer controlled marketing by Provincial and National Marketing Boards. Through marketing boards we feel we feel farmers may have a means by which they can gain for themselves a democratic voice in the regulation of their own affairs, and to e`tptess the desire of farmers that decisions which affect them shall be made by the farmers instead of by people not lining on farms. &We *know that contract farm- ing is a threat to the egg pro- ducer. Wehave seen vertical integration and contract farm- ing take the poultry industry out of the hands of the small Canadian sodal worker Doris Clark invites you to write her about your problem. She answers _letters of general interest in this column but can't undertake personal replies. DEAR DORIS—This letter is in regard to your remarks about kissing on the first date In, our area, at least, a girl be- comes well acquainted with a boy before she goes out with him (except, of course, for blind dates) ,and she is already fond of him. We don't consider it cheap to .have one good -night kiss on the front porch (or back porch, for that matter!). That is a nice way of saying, "Thank you, I had fun. Let's go out again sometime." Could you possibly tell us other opinions which you have received? • We'd like to see how others pur age feel about it. TWO MIDDLE TEENS DEA.R.„ VO — It depends. Your.phrase "and she is already fond of him" is the crux of the matter. I know many first dates which are far,mor..e casual than this. Other opinions are invited. Write to me, girls—and boys! I'll publish what I can 'find room . for. DEAR DORIS-=I am a man 26. Have two 'brothers and a sister. Since my • first days at school I have been very quiet. I am almost always home alone with our mother. I do shopping, belong to our choir,._ But everything else I do with 'nly mother; no one else in the -family ever takes her out. I don't like it but how do I tell her? And how do I get confidence in myself? TIMID TOM - DEAR TOM—Cut the apron strings. Every family member should be helping you instear of shirking a share. You need not feel guilty if your mother is alone sometimes, as she too is a person with resources, and need not indulge in self-pity. Get into the passing parade by joining the activities which are going on around you. One learns to mix by mixing. DEAR DORIS—Next month my husband and I are moving into a new' house. We would like to have" a housewarming. Could yousuggest some sim- ple refreshments that wouldn't run into a lot of money? TWENTY-THREE. DEAR TWENTY-THREE— You don't have to break the bank to have a good time. I have just the ticket for you: a leaflet called Party on a Shoe- string. Write to me in care of this newspaper, enclosing 10 cents and a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope, and it will be mailed to you. (Note to ALL KINDS of INSURANCE W. E.

Confident'al to Distressed Hus- band—By indignant outbursts in which she criticizes you; your wife shows just how inferior and hopeless she ,feels under- neath. Your passive, analytical response -doubtless infuriates her further. The migraine and stomach ulcers may yell spring from tensions related to emo- tional disorder. Do try a psy- chiatrist. producer and place it in the hands of the giant corporations. We know that packing plants, feed companies and large cor• porations are contracting and integrating egg production. We know that through scientific knowledge and the application of technology, it is a"matter of time before eggs will go the same way as chickens. "On the other hand, we know that a marketing board wilt break the stages of vertical in- tegration and place bargaining power in the hands of produc- ers, 'because an integrator is no longer assured that he will be able to purchase the product that he produces through in- tegration or contracts on the open market when he " is com- pelted to compete with other firms buying in the market. A marketing board- will then re- turn competition among pur- chasers. 'This struggle we are now engaged in is a great struggle. It will determine the future na- ture of agriculture. It will de- termine whether the production of farm products and the con- trol of that production and mar- keting will remain in the hands of the farmer or _whether agri- culture will be totally indus- trialized and production inte- grated with large food corpora- tions for whom the farmer will work as a hired man. 1. We believe this proposal does not qualify as an egg mar- keting plan, 2. We believe producers do want an egg marketing plan. 3. We believe an. egg mar- keting plan must not be imple, mented without an egg produc- er vote. 4. No portion of any•levy col- lected shall be used for any- thing except to finance the mar- keting of eggs,. • 5. T h e consumers' dollars can only purchase a given amount of food, therefore this proposal for -promotion and re- search should -not be taxed on the farmer. An egg marketing board in Ontario must. be an organiza tion set up by producers, under legislative authority, to market all farm produce of a specific kind produced .within a speci- fied area. Within this area, the board has complete authority with respect to assembling, grading, 'storing and offering for sale all of the specified pro- duct; to maximize the net re- turns to the producer by: (a) Establishing a producer - controlled single central selling agency for all eggs marketed in Ontario. (b) To ensure all eggs mar- keted in Ontario are available Ni ^ LTING BARLEY CONTRACTS Parkland' Seed Supplied This variety out -yielded Betz and Mont - calm in Huron County as tested by. the Ontario Agriculture College and pub- lished in their "1963 The 'Progress Re- port." • White Bean Contracts One of the Areas Better Cash Crops Fertilizer and Seed supplied on all contracts. • L FERTILIZER A complete stock carried at competitive prices. ❑ ❑ Cook Bros.

This bird had short, ill -shaped legs and. feet, a clumsy and almost round body and a monstrous head• with a huge mouth and hooked beak. It was covered with feathers, but its wings were too short for it to fly. The dodo was discovered by Portuguese sailors on the Island of Mauri- tius about 1507 and afterwards seen there by the Dutch, who took live specimens of the bird back to Europe. The dodo was not seen after 1681, a fact which led sceptics to believe that It never did actually exist, How- ever, Dutch artists made draw- ings of the bird and an _almost complete skeleton stands in the British Museum, made from bones found in Mauritius. to all buyers on a -truly competi- tive basis.

(e) To eliminate the incen- tive for companies and large corporations to further move into egg production thus pro- tecting egg production for farm- ers:
