Home Newspaper of Halton Hills THE HERALD WED JULY A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main St South Georgetown Ontario WILLIAM EVDOKIMOFF Publisher BILL JOHNSTON Editor PHONE Second Mail Registered Number One more rotten egg it nice to know that the government is doing someone a favor That by letting the producer run Canadian Egg Marketing Agency set their own pnee for Grade A large eggs these same producers will be able to earn a living wage Doesn it give you an uplifting feeling to know that everybody playing fair with everybody else That the producers weren getting enough for their eggs and they happy so the government just snapped Its collective fingers and rectified the situation Slammed the door shut on S eggs which were keeping the price down on domestic ones and hen told he agency go ahead and set a fair Nobody has yet the customer whether or not he believes It a fair price but then who asks the customer anything these days So you be paying a dozen for Grade A large So you should be happy and grateful and pleased that a thoughtful government is allowing you to even get the eggs in the first place Remember last years rotten egg fiasco Of course it s rather handy that the agency members which set the prices are in effect setting their own salaries but to point that out is just nit picking isn It Nobody bothers to ask whatever happened to the law of supply and demand which seems to have been changed these days to a law of making the consumer pay through the nose in spite of supply and demand If the supply is too great just arbitrarily cut it off and with millions of eggs destroyed last year we all know just how that works There little the man in the street or in this case the man who eats breakfast can do about the price of eggs Except point out to somebody concerned that to allow people to set their own salaries only works honestly in science fiction novels The only effective protest the consumer has is a boycott and con sumers have proven they just interested enough to boycott And just to add another note of depressing news to breakfast coffee prices will probably skyrocket at the end of the summer due to another modern twist to marketing With frost destroying much of the Brazilian coffee crop prices will rise in spite of even bumper crops in Colombia or other coffee producing nations thanks to world marketing agency which controls the of coffee And like unions there nothing you can do about it From The Daily Times Viewpoint Smile at your dentist he really needs it By Gerry Land borough It time again for potpourri a regular feature of this column where we take a quick tongueincheek look at some of the recent happenings In 1Mb wonderful wacky world of ours First we re off to Jordan Hill College In Glasgow where student regularly spends some of his evenings In the quiet of the music room of the Mitchell Library Checking for a book In one of the quieter of the library he was but prised upon lifting It down

at theory of Richard MacKar a British psychiatrist Dr MacKarness believes allergies to certain foods in some people cause depression instead of the usual allergic reaction Frequently If a person Is allergic to a certain food he is also addicted to hem According to Dr some patients Buttered from depression bone weary fatigue chronic stomach pains or headaches instead of the usual rash or common symptoms Foods such as eggs white bread coffee cheese cereals or sugar were found to be the cause There may well be truth In good doctor theory However I m inclined to believe that who lever you do eat or smoke will be named responsible for something sooner or later A report from ihe American Society for Preventive Dentistry tells us that dentists have higher suicide rates than any other profession The reason according to a psychologist speaking at their recent con ventlon Is that dentists encounter more fear and hate from their patients Dentists go out to work and find out people hate dentists Next time you check in with your friendly dcntlBt remember that and be kind After all dentists need love too and your fear of the drill might be giving your dentist a complex Off to

Prix of Hornby I thought I had gotten over my problems but as I tenderly sit down these days or lurch along doing a pretty good imitation of Roy Rogers doing an imitation of Charlie Chaplin I discovering that I haven managed yet to rub out a particular past painful experience Just the thought of horses I ve discovered brings a warm spot to a particular part of my anatomy Because the Herald is a family paper and not some poor imitation of the Toronto Sun I m afraid that I can go into much greater detail However considering I have this tremendously big hole to fill on the editorial page this week I can tell you how I got it It was during my two summer stint as a ranch hand In Alberta All the while I was there everyone kept kidding me about The Roundup Ihey have every fall which in my honor they had decided to move up a few weeks so I could get a taste of what real cowboy life is all about They needn have bothered Perhaps at this point I should mention that my experience with horses wns twofold Only once I had ever ridden on one That was a two- minute ride in some park in BC when I was five years old The only other connection bet ween horses and yours truly are a number of tickets that litter race track garbage cans from Winnipeg to Saint John New Brun swick In other words I am not a big lover of thoroughbreds stan or even plain And feeling is mutual Thus I was not too thrilled when someone pointed to a horse that morning in Alberta and said That yours Give me credit folks I mounted the beast true Hopalong Cossidy style but that where any similarity ended Show him you re boss someone yelled How do you show a horse you re the boss Kick him in the side another person yelled and just to show how it s done he kicked his horse in the side His horse began to trot slowly off In the right direction I kicked my horse in the side My horse responded by turning around and trying to take a nasty chunk out of my leg He must have got the message eventually because off we flew totally out of control Now this horse was not too much of a He had much more devious ways of dismounting his rider Like heading Into the bush at full tilt Eventually we got things straightened out I the boss but at least he wasn either Everything was going along fantastically well until my horse took an interest in another horse There being male horses and female horses I guess this sort of thing isn t all that unusual It was creating a problem however as the two horses became totally inseparable I didn t mind all that much after all it was keeping my horse happy and as long as he was happy so was I but it was beginning to bug the rider of the other horse EveryUme he turned around there we were trotting along right behind The happy relationship was soon broken up I was given the assign of chaperoning one particularly troublesome bull back to the home range The bull actually had quite a nice disposition but there was one slight problem he was blind As long as that all that wrong with him we II keep him the boss told me So there we were the three of usa blind bull a displeased and a rookie ranch hand For two days we plodded along bringing up the rear of the herd I don t know how many trees that stupid bull walked into or how many times the horse decided that he had had enough and tried to go courting I hadn realized what two days on a saddle could do to the circulation in one legs Finally reaching the corral I was so glad to end the ordeal I quickly hopped off the horse collapsed thus ending the great Round Up Poor display by local coach To ihe Editor of the Herald Last Monday July my wife and I visited a friend In Georgetown and as he lives quite close to the park we decided to walk over and watch one of the ball games going on The first game we happened upon was being contested by boys who ap peared to be about 12 years of age The Georgetown team was obviously quite superior to their visitors from so much so hat the umpire called he game before It had gone its scheduled length Following the formality of shaking hands one of the players who had wanted the game to continue approached the Georgetown coach to protest In so doing he Included a bit of swearing This Is when Ihe trouble began The Georgetown grown manstarted to shout at this kid and Included a great deal more swearing and volume In his speech He continued his disgusting performance by walking over to the bench and informing the coach and a couple of parents that he did not have to take from a 12- yearold kid Returning his own side of he field he said with a certain swagger a little bastard like that You can hit him am not condoning the bit of swearing by player but boys who have Just been badly beaten In a gome will probably always do a bit that and he was protesting the early conclusion of the game there was lots of daylight left not the loss However what kind of adult Is It that loudly swears back at a year old such behaviour likely help develop a sense of sport In that youngster or the others looking What kind of behaviour model does he present to his own players w Is this he type of nun would want coaching your son v Volunteer coaches as a group do a great Job and generally do not receive nearly enough praise and support for their tune and effort We need more of them However even If there la a shortage do we or more importantly do the kids need men like this In such si position I must believe lhat the answer la no Yours Sincerely Don Payne
